Singing the Village: Music, Memory and Ritual Among the Sibe of Xinjiang Includes CD
ISBN: 9780197262979 / Angielski / Twarda / 2004 / 248 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The Sibe are an immigrant group, Qing dynasty bannermen who made a three-year "long march" from Manchuria in the 18th century to serve as a border garrison in the newly conquered Western Regions of the Qing Chinese empire. They preserved their military structure and a discrete identity in the multi-ethnic region of Xinjiang and are now officially recognized as an ethnic minority nationality under the People's Republic. They are known in China today as the last speakers of the Manchu language, and as preservers of their ancient traditions. This study of their music culture reveals not...

Documents of Ancient Greek Music: The Extant Melodies and Fragments
ISBN: 9780198152231 / Angielski / Twarda / 2001 / 234 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This uniquely complete and up-to-date collection of the surviving remains of ancient Greek music will serve as the standard work of reference for decades to come. Since its appearance in 1970, Egert Pohlmann's Denkmaler altgriechischer Musik has been the standard collection of the surviving fragments of ancient Greek music. But the publication of many further texts in recent years has put it in urgent need of updating. In this new English edition, prepared in collaboration with Martin West, the number of items has risen to 61, of which 23 are additions to the content of the 1970 book. All the...

The Oxford History of English Music: Volume 1: From the Beginnings to C.1715
ISBN: 9780198161295 / Angielski / Twarda / 1992 / 730 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This first volume of a magisterial two-volume survey of English music charts its development from its beginnings to about 1715. It looks at the music of early monastic institutions and the development of polyphony, including the extraordinarily advanced mid-thirteenth-century canon, "Sumeris icumen in." It deals with the first Golden Age of English music, namely the mid-fifteenth-century composers represented in the Old Hall Manuscript, such as Dunstable and Power. It looks at the remarkable flowering of sixteenth-century choral music, of which Tallis's 'Spem in Alium' is a splendid example....

Music in the English Courtly Masque 1604-1640
ISBN: 9780198161417 / Angielski / Twarda / 1996 / 400 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Those privileged enough to attend performances of masques at court in the early seventeenth century invariably commented on the sumptuousness of the music. Yet our view of the masque has been dominated by the texts, and indeed, modern scholarship has tended to treat the masque first and foremost as a literary genre. This book is the first complete study of the multi-faceted view of its subject, piecing together a picture of what the music was actually like from musical scores, documentary evidence, and the dramatic texts.

Ian Spink, a leading authority on seventeenth-century English music, has carried out a remarkable new investigation of the musical sources of the Restoration period, and of the archives of every cathedral and choral foundation. For the first time, perhaps, the true character and shape of this period of musical history is revealed, taking in the work of the great men of the age, including Purcell, Locke, and Handel, and many lesser masters such as Humfrey, Blow, Clarke, Weldon, and Croft.

The Music of Hans Pfitzner
ISBN: 9780198161608 / Angielski / Twarda / 1992 / 400 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The first study of Pfitzner's output in English, this book sets his music in the context of his cultural opinions, which though conceived as reflections on music, have acquired a more political status to which the history of Pfitzner's times has contributed. Williamson offers a revaluation of his music, partly in order to reveal the innate value of his stage works, chamber music, and songs, and also to illustrate the historical importance of his ideas, which reflect a German conservative tradition which was taken over and nearly destroyed by the Third Reich.

Classical & Romantic Performing Practice 1750-1900
ISBN: 9780198161653 / Angielski / Twarda / 2000 / 680 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The past ten years have seen a rapidly growing interest in performing and recording Classical and Romantic music with period instruments; yet the relationship of composers' notation to performing practices during that period has received only sporadic attention from scholars, and many aspects of composers' intentions have remained uncertain. Brown here identifies areas in which musical notation conveyed rather different messages to the musicians for whom it was written than it does to modern performers, and seeks to look beyond the notation to understand how composers might have expected to...

Italian Opera in Late Eighteenth-Century London: The King's Theatre, Haymarket 1778-1791
ISBN: 9780198161660 / Angielski / Twarda / 1995 / 736 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This interdisciplinary study attempts to make sense of what has long been regarded as a chaotic period in the history of opera in London. In 1778, R.B. Sheridan acquired the King's Theatre and its resident opera company in what we would now call a leveraged buy-out, plunging the opera into escalating debts that were to haunt it into the 1840s. The 1780s and early 1790s were a stormy but exciting era: the company hired some of the foremost singers and dancers in Europe; ballet d'action came to London, with Noverre himself as ballet master; the company employed such composers as Sacchini,...

ISBN: 9780198161677 / Angielski / Twarda / 1994 / 544 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Long acknowledged as a leading authority on Italian music of the late sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries, Claude V. Palisca here collects nineteen essays that provide a corpus of significant research into the music of the Italian Renaissance. The book is in two parts, providing studies on the history of Italian music theory and studies in the history of Italian music. The thread that runs through the book is the interaction between music theory and practice and between the humanist revival of antiquity and modern ideals of expression in the decades around 1600, a time of transition...

Rock Culture in Liverpool: Popular Music in the Making
ISBN: 9780198161783 / Angielski / Twarda / 1991 / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Rock bands have been an important part of Liverpool's culture and identity since the 1950s, and a 1980 survey discovered the existence of over 1,000 bands in the city. This book delineates and discusses rock culture in Liverpool as a way or style of life, highlighting its associated conventions, rituals, norms, and beliefs at a particular point in time, within the city's own unique social, economic, cultural, and political environment. It deals with the hitherto little explored music-making by local, amateur rock bands, that are precariously poised between success and failure, caught between...

Gesualdo: The Man and His Music
ISBN: 9780198161974 / Angielski / Miękka / 1991 / 444 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Carlo Gesualdo, Prince of Venosa, is equally celebrated as the composer of madrigals of great power and tortured complexity and as the murderer of his wife and her lover in flagrante delicto. His life and compositions are not unconnected. His neurotic sensibility found an ideal outlet in the mannerist tendencies of late Renaissance music, and his works are the most extreme examples of those tendencies. Watkins's extended study of Gesualdo's life and works was originally published in 1973. Alongside detailed analysis of Gesualdo's remarkable madrigals and of the few works in other genres, it...

Debussy's Ibéria
ISBN: 9780198161998 / Angielski / Twarda / 2003 / 200 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This book suggests ways in which Debussy's sketches and drafts may be used to explain how he composed one of his last great symphonic scores: Iberia (from mages for orchestra, 1903-10). Part 1 shows how we might understand the process of musical composition as a form of expert problem solving; Part 2 reconstructs the genesis of each of the three movements in turn.

With the first publication of this book in hardcover in 1988, Peter Hurford, acclaimed for his performances and recordings, demonstrated his ability to communicate to professionals, amateurs, and general listeners the ideas that underpin his performance and teaching.
