Music and German National Identity
ISBN: 9780226021317 / Angielski / Miękka / 2002 / 329 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Is it merely a coincidence that the three "Bs" of classical music--Bach, Beethoven, Brahms--are all German composers? Why do concert halls all over the world feature mostly the works of German and Austrian composers as their standard repertoire? Over the past three centuries, supporters of German music ranging from music scholars to politicians have nurtured the notion that the German-speaking world possesses a peculiar strength in the cultivation of music. This book explores the questions of how music came to be associated with German identity, when and how Germans came to be regarded as...

ISBN: 9780226032924 / Angielski / Miękka / 1997 / 306 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The history of Haiti throughout the twentieth century has been marked by oppression at the hands of colonial and dictatorial overlords. But set against this "day for the hunter" has been a "day for the prey," a history of resistance, and sometimes of triumph.

Hole in Our Soul: The Loss of Beauty and Meaning in American Popular Music
ISBN: 9780226039596 / Angielski / Miękka / 1996 / 462 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. From Queen Latifa to Count Basie, Madonna to Monk, "Hole in Our Soul: The Loss of Beauty and Meaning in American Popular Music" traces popular music back to its roots in jazz, blues, country, and gospel through the rise in rock 'n' roll and the emergence of heavy metal, punk, and rap. Yet despite the vigor and balance of these musical origins, Martha Bayles argues, something has gone seriously wrong, both with the sound of popular music and the sensibility it expresses.
Bayles defends the tough, affirmative spirit of Afro-American music against the strain of artistic modernism she calls... From Queen Latifa to Count Basie, Madonna to Monk, "Hole in Our Soul: The Loss of Beauty and Meaning in American Popular Music" traces popular music b...

ISBN: 9780226043708 / Angielski / Miękka / 1996 / 227 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Provocative and timely, "Disciplining Music" confronts a topic that has sparked considerable debate in recent years: how do musicians and music scholars "discipline" music in their efforts to confer order and meaning on it? This collection of essays addresses this issue by formulating questions about music's canons-rules that measure and order, negotiate cultural constraints, reconstruct the past, and shape the future. Written by scholars representing the fields of historical musicology, ethnomusicology, and music theory, many of the essays tug and push at the very boundaries of these...

During the performances of fashionable operas in an unidentified but "civilized" town in northern Europe, the musicians (with the exception of the conscientious bass drummer) tell tales, read stories, and exchange gossip to relieve the tedium of the bad music they are paid to perform.

Tomorrow Never Knows: Rock and Psychedelics in the 1960s
ISBN: 9780226075624 / Angielski / Miękka / 2002 / 234 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. "Tomorrow Never Knows" takes us back to the primal scene of the 1960s and asks: what happened when young people got high and listened to rock as if it really mattered as if it offered meaning and sustenance, not just escape and entertainment? What did young people "hear" in the music of Dylan, Hendrix, or the Beatles? Bromell's pursuit of these questions radically revises our understanding of rock, psychedelics, and their relation to the politics of the 60s, exploring the period's controversial legacy, and the reasons why being "experienced" has been an essential part of American youth...
