ISBN: 9780195063349 / Angielski / Miękka / 1990 / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Reflecting the growing interest in popular music from the developing world, this unique book is the first to examine all major non-Western urban music styles, from increasingly familiar genres like reggae and salsa, to the lesser-known regional styles of Latin America, the Caribbean, Africa, the Middle East, non-Western Europe (Greece, Yugoslavia, Portugal), Asia, and the Near East.

Musical Perceptions
ISBN: 9780195064766 / Angielski / Miękka / 1994 / 304 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Musical Perceptions is a much-needed text that introduces students of both music and psychology to the study of music perception and cognition. Because the book aims to foster a closer interaction between research in the science and the art of music, both psychologists and musicians contribute chapters on a wide range of topics, including the philosophy of music; research in musical performance; perception of melody, tonality, and rhythm; pedagogical issues; language and music; and neural networks. With their unique ability to introduce musical and psychological concepts to...

Music and the Silent Film: Contexts and Case Studies, 1895-1924
ISBN: 9780195068917 / Angielski / Twarda / 1997 / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. In this book, a leading authority on film music examines scores of the silent film era. The first of three projected volumes investigating music written for films, this thoughtful and pathbreaking study demonstrates the richness of silent film music as it details the way in which scores were often planned from the start as an integral part of the whole cinematic experience. Following an introductory chapter that outlines several key theoretical questions and surveys eight decades of writing on film music, Martin Miller Marks focuses on those scores created between 1895 and 1924. He begins...

Jazz in Its Time
ISBN: 9780195069044 / Angielski / Miękka / 1991 / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. From record album liner notes to serious academic pieces, Martin Williams has been perceptively chronicling the development of jazz for over three decades. In this, his newest collection of jazz writings, Williams brings together many of his best pieces and covers new ground, with short columns on Teddy Wilson and George Winston and a longer article, "How Long Has This Been Going On?," examining the current state of jazz. In this last work, Williams notes that jazz is experiencing a period of "stylistic retrenchment or, if you will, a period of conservatism," and questions the fusion of jazz...

The Jazz Revolution: Twenties America & the Meaning of Jazz
ISBN: 9780195074796 / Angielski / Miękka / 1992 / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Born of African rhythms, the spiritual "call and response," and other American musical traditions, jazz was by the 1920s the dominant influence on this country's popular music. Writers of the Harlem Renaissance (Langston Hughes, Claude McKay, Zora Neale Hurston) and the "Lost Generation" (Malcolm Cowley, F. Scott Fitzgerald, and Gertrude Stein), along with many other Americans celebrated it--both as an expression of black culture and as a symbol of rebellion against American society. But an equal number railed against it. Whites were shocked by its raw emotion and sexuality, and blacks...

The Jazz Tradition: Second Revised Edition
ISBN: 9780195078169 / Angielski / Miękka / 1993 / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. When it was first published in 1970, this lively and fascinating book was greeted with almost universal acclaim. The American Record Guide called it "the best one-volume of jazz we have," and the Jazz Journal praised it as "a brilliant study of the whole of jazz." Perhaps the greatest tribute was paid by Louis Armstrong himself who raved: "it held Ol' Satch spellbound." Now thoroughly revised and expanded, the new edition of The Jazz Tradition offers readers a unique history of jazz, as seen through its greatest practitioners.
An original blend of history and criticism, this book explores... When it was first published in 1970, this lively and fascinating book was greeted with almost universal acclaim. The American Record Guide called it "...

The Power of Black Music: Interpreting Its History from Africa to the United States
ISBN: 9780195082357 / Angielski / Twarda / 1995 / 336 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. When Jimi Hendrix transfixed the crowds of Woodstock with his gripping version of -The Star Spangled Banner, - he was building on a foundation reaching back, in part, to the revolutionary guitar playing of Howlin' Wolf and the other great Chicago bluesmen, and to the Delta blues tradition before him. But in its unforgettable introduction, followed by his unaccompanied -talking- guitar passage and inserted calls and responses at key points in the musical narrative, Hendrix's performance of the national anthem also hearkened back to a tradition even older than the blues, a tradition rooted in...

The Jazz Scene: An Informal History from New Orleans to 1990
ISBN: 9780195082708 / Angielski / Miękka / 1993 / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. No one can tell us more about jazz than the musicians themselves. Unfortunately, most oral histories have limited scope--focusing on a particular era or style--and fail to capture the full, rich story of jazz. Now, in this vivid oral history, W. Royal Stokes presents nearly a century of jazz--its people, places, periods, and styles--as it was seen by the artists who created America's most distinctive music.
Here, along with the author's enlightening commentary, are the words of musicians famous and little-known, veterans of the early years and pathbreakers of the present, telling us about...

ISBN: 9780195086171 / Angielski / Twarda / 1994 / 400 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This volume examines music's place in the process of Jewish assimilation into the modern European bourgeoisie and the role assigned to music in forging a new Jewish Israeli national identity, in maintaining a separate Sephardic identity, and in preserving a traditional Jewish life. Contributions include "On the Jewish Presence in Nineteenth Century European Musical Life," by Ezra Mendelsohn, "Musical Life in the Central European Jewish Village," by Philip V. Bohlman, "Jews and Hungarians in Modern Hungarian Musical Culture," by Judit Frigyesi, "New Directions in the Music of the Sephardic...

The Gershwin Style: New Looks at the Music of George Gershwin
ISBN: 9780195090208 / Angielski / Twarda / 1999 / 304 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Even as orchestras, performers, enthusiasts, and critics across the nation--and across the globe--celebrate the one-hundredth anniversary of his birth, George Gershwin (1898-1937) remains one of America's most popular yet least appreciated composers. True, he is loved and revered for his wonderful popular songs, a few instrumental works, and the majestic opera Porgy and Bess. But most of his music is virtually unknown; hundreds of compositions, Broadway show tunes, and even several large and important instrumental works are gradually disappearing with the generations that first heard...

If Benny Goodman was the "King of Swing," then Fletcher Henderson was the power behind the throne. Now Jeffrey Magee offers a fascinating account of Henderson's musical career, throwing new light on the emergence of modern jazz and the world that created it.
Drawing on an unprecedented combination of sources, including sound recordings and hundreds of scores that have been available only since Goodman's death, Magee illuminates Henderson's musical output, from his early work as a New York bandleader, to his pivotal role in building the Kingdom of Swing. He shows how Henderson, standing... If Benny Goodman was the "King of Swing," then Fletcher Henderson was the power behind the throne. Now Jeffrey Magee offers a fascinating account of H...

Samuel Barber: The Composer and His Music
ISBN: 9780195090581 / Angielski / Miękka / 1994 / 608 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Samuel Barber (1910-1981) was one of the most important and honored American composers of the twentieth century. Writing in a great variety of musical forms--symphonies, concertos, operas, vocal music, and chamber music--he infused his works with poetic lyricism and gave tonal language and forms new vitality. His rich legacy includes such famous compositions as the Adagio for Strings, the orchestral song Knoxville: Summer of 1915, three concertos, and his two operas, the Pulitzer Prize-winning Vanessa and Antony and Cleopatra, a commissioned work that opened the new Metropolitan Opera House...

What should you do when your three-year-old Sesame-Street aficionado suddenly announces that he wants to study the violin? Or when your seven-year old informs you that he does not want the shiny new red bicycle you just bought him for his birthday, nor the spiffy new box of high-tech paints, but really wants to have piano lessons--today? What should you say when your ten-year old shouts that she hates that nasty new $1500 violin you just invested in, hates violin period, and is never going to practice again? Are there any software packages that can teach that teen-age Jimi Hendrix rehearsing...

Chicago Jazz: A Cultural History 1904-1930
ISBN: 9780195092608 / Angielski / Miękka / 1994 / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The setting is the Royal Gardens Cafe. It's dark, smoky. The smell of gin permeates the room. People are leaning over the balcony, their drinks spilling on the customers below. On stage, King Oliver and Louis Armstrong roll on and on, piling up choruses, the rhythm section building the beat until tables, chairs, walls, people, move with the rhythm. The time is the 1920s. The place is South Side Chicago, a town of dance halls and cabarets, Prohibition and segregation, a town where jazz would flourish into the musical statement of an era.

Etudes for Piano Teachers: Reflections on the Teacher's Art
ISBN: 9780195093223 / Angielski / Twarda / 1995 / 168 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Just as musical etudes focus on the development of skills and address the technical problems encountered in keyboard literature, the "etudes" in Stewart Gordon's new book also focus on ideas which prepare piano teachers for meeting the problems encountered in piano performing and teaching. This major new collection on the piano teacher's art opens with an assessment of the role of the piano teacher, and goes on to explore various types of students and the challenge each presents: the moderately talented, but ambitious, student; the late beginner; the unusually gifted. Drawing on thirty years...

ISBN: 9780195096019 / Angielski / Twarda / 2001 / 464 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The New York Times called Stephen Sondheim "the greatest and perhaps best known artist in the American musical theater," while two months earlier, the same paper referred to his contemporary, Andrew Lloyd-Webber as "the most commercially successful composer in history." Whatever their individual achievements might be, it is agreed by most critics that these two colossi have dominated world musical theater for the last quarter century and hold the key to the direction the musical stage will take in the future.

The Twisted Muse: Musicians and Their Music in the Third Reich
ISBN: 9780195096200 / Angielski / Twarda / 1997 / 344 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Is music removed from politics? To what ends, beneficent or malevolent, can music and musicians be put? In short, when human rights are grossly abused and politics turned to fascist demagoguery, can art and artists be innocent?
These questions and their implications are explored in Michael Kater's broad survey of musicians and the music they composed and performed during the Third Reich. Great and small--from Valentin Grimm, a struggling clarinetist, to Richard Strauss, renowned composer--are examined by Kater, sometimes in intimate detail, and the lives and decisions of Nazi Germany's...

Jazz: The American Theme Song
ISBN: 9780195096354 / Angielski / Miękka / 1995 / 336 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Praised by the Washington Post as a "tough, unblinked critic," James Lincoln Collier is probably the most controversial writer on jazz today. With the publication of "Jazz: The American Theme Song," Collier does nothing to soften his reputation for hard-hitting, incisive commentary. Questioning everything we think we know about jazz-- its origins, its innovative geniuses, the importance of improvisation and spontaneous inspiration in a performance-- and the jazz world, these ten provocative essays on the music and its place in American culture overturn tired assumptions and will alternately...
