Bach's immediate German predecessors, Dietrich Buxtehude (c.1637-1707).

The Classics of Music: Talks, Essays, and Other Writings Previously Uncollected
ISBN: 9780198162148 / Angielski / Twarda / 2001 / 828 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. For much of the twentieth century, Donald Francis Tovey (1875-1940) has been Britain's most celebrated and influential writer on music. However, as a prolific and popular lecturer, broadcaster, conductor, and essayist, Tovey left many writings unpublished at the time of his death. The Classics of Music assembles here for the first time seventy of Tovey's significant writings not previously available as a collection. Initially edited by Michael Tilmouth, late Tovey Professor of Music at the University of Edinburgh, the volume has been completed by David Kimbell and Roger Savage, also of...

Vincent d'Indy and His World
ISBN: 9780198162209 / Angielski / Twarda / 1997 / 264 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Over sixty years after his death in 1931, Vincent d'Indy is still a much misunderstood and maligned figure in French music. Previous biographers have left a portrait of the academic figure par excellence, who turned the seemingly inspired and selfless inspiration of his master Cesar Franck into a cold and authoritarian pedagogical system. This new study re-examines the evidence, reveals a much more psychologically complex and turbulent character, and finds that d'Indy was a tireless propagandist for a spiritual revival of French musical civilization.

ISBN: 9780198162308 / Angielski / Twarda / 1993 / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. In the fourteenth century composers and theorists invented mensuration and proportion signs that allowed them increased flexibility and precision in notating a wide range of rhythmic and metric relationships. The origin and interpretation of these signs is one of the least understood and most complex issues in music history. This study represents the first attempt to see the origin of musical mensuration and proportion signs in the context of other measuring systems of the fourteenth century. Berger analyzes the exact meaning of every mensuration and proportion sign in music and theory from...

Agostino Agazzari and Music at Siena Cathedral, 1597-1641
ISBN: 9780198162728 / Angielski / Twarda / 1994 / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Agostino Agazzari (c. 1580-c.1642) has long been recognized as one of the most prominent theorists of the early Baroque. The enduring fame of his 1607 treatise on the basso continuo has, however, overshadowed his equally significant contributions as a composer. And for all his renown, relatively little has been written about his professional career in Siena. This book not only provides the first comprehensive study of his life and sacred works, it also opens a window on musical culture in Siena during the late sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries. Through the use of archival materials,...

ISBN: 9780198163152 / Angielski / Twarda / 1995 / 232 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. From the early eighteenth-century until the present day, opera seria as practiced by Handel and his contemporaries has been the subject of satire and even derision for its dramatic artifice and virtuosic vocal displays. Close examination of Handel's autograph manuscripts, the libretti upon which they were based, and other contemporary documents reveal the extent to which Handel was influenced by his singers and their abilities in creating his commercially successful and dramatically effective operas. Drawing on ideas and evidence from these sources, this study demonstrates the fact that...

Francis Poulenc
ISBN: 9780198163381 / Angielski / Miękka / 1995 / 208 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Once considered as little more than the froth in the wake of the First World War, a witty boy-hedonist who, in the giddy Twenties, tweaked the noses of moribund establishmentarians, Poulenc has in fact proved unexpectedly durable--more so than any of his colleagues among Les Six, including those who developed more grandiose ambitions. Here is a survey of Poulenc's music, based on careful selection of his works, and written by an authoritative guide. After placing Poulenc in the context of French life and society after the First World War and considering him in relation to his masters and...

It is the first book to explore in detail the historical context of Purcell's music, dealing fully with the institutions he worked for, the origin and development of the various genres to which he contributed, and the sources of his music. In the process, a new picture of Purcell's creative personality emerges: a composer obsessed with formal counterpoint, extraordinarily well-versed in English music of the previous century, yet eager to embrace up-to-date...
