Four Parts, No Waiting: A Social History of American Barbershop Quartet
ISBN: 9780195116724 / Angielski / Twarda / 2003 / 248 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Four Parts, No Waiting investigates the role that vernacular, barbershop-style close harmony has played in American musical history, in American life, and in the American imagination. Starting with a discussion of the first craze for Austrian four-part close harmony in the 1830s, Averill traces the popularity of this musical form in minstrel shows, black recreational singing, vaudeville, early recordings, and in the barbershop revival of the 1930s. In his exploration of barbershop, Averill uncovers a rich musical tradition--a hybrid of black and white cultural forms, practiced by...

In the Houses of the Holy: Led Zeppelin and the Power of Rock Music
ISBN: 9780195117561 / Angielski / Twarda / 2001 / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This volume examines the powerful ways in which identity can be shaped by rock music. Through the music, imagery and discourse surrounding one of the most innovative and commercially successful rock bands ever, Susan Fast probes such issues as constructions of gender and sexuality, the creation of myth and the use of ritual, the appropriation of Eastern musics and the blues, the physicality of the music, and the use of the body in performance. The band's influence is examined through socially-situated musical analysis, as well as an ethnographic study of Led Zeppelin fans. Fast draws on...

The Cowboy and the Dandy: Crossing Over from Romanticism to Rock and Roll
ISBN: 9780195118179 / Angielski / Twarda / 1998 / 166 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. What is rock and roll and where does it come from? In this adventurous new study of music, literature, and culture, Perry Meisel shows how rock and roll joins Romanticism and the blues tradition by focusing on the preoccupation with boundaries that are common to both--the boundaries between freedom and irony, country and city, and cowboy and dandy. Meisel traces the emergence of rock and roll out of jazz and Romantic culture alike as he examines, in a series of juxtaposed chapters, rhythm and blues, Emerson and the cowboy, urban blues, the dandy and psychedelia, Willa Cather, Miles Davis,...

Lady in the Dark: Biography of a Musical
ISBN: 9780195120127 / Angielski / Twarda / 2007 / 336 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. When Lady in the Dark opened on January 23, 1941, its many firsts immediately distinguished it as a new and unusual work. The curious directive to playwright Moss Hart to complete a play about psychoanalysis came from his own Freudian psychiatrist. For the first time since his brother George's death, Ira Gershwin returned to writing lyrics for the theater. And for emigre composer Kurt Weill, it was a crack at an opulent first-class production. Together Hart, Gershwin, and Weill (with a little help from the psychiatrist) produced one of the most innovative works in Broadway history....

Unfoldings: Essays in Schenkerian Theory and Analysis
ISBN: 9780195120134 / Angielski / Twarda / 1998 / 304 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Carl Schachter is, by common consent, one of the three or four most important music theorists currently at work in North America. He is the preeminent practitioner in the world of the Schenkerian approach to the music of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, which focuses on the linear organization of music and now dominates discussions of the standard repertoire in university courses and in professional journals. His articles have appeared in a variety of journals, including some that are obscure or hard to obtain. This volume gathers some of his finest essays, including those on rhythm...

French Cultural Politics & Music: From the Dreyfus Affair to the First World War
ISBN: 9780195120219 / Angielski / Twarda / 1999 / 304 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This book draws upon both musicology and cultural history to argue that French musical meanings and values from 1898 to 1914 are best explained not in terms of contemporary artistic movements but of the political culture. During these years, France was undergoing many subtle yet profound political changes. Nationalist leagues forged new modes of political activity, as Jane F. Fulcher details in this important study, and thus the whole playing field of political action was enlarged. Investigating this transitional period in light of several recent insights in the areas of French history,...

Analyzing Bach Cantatas
ISBN: 9780195120998 / Angielski / Twarda / 2000 / 304 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Bach's cantatas are among the highest achievements of Western musical art, yet studies of the individual cantatas that are both illuminating and detailed are few. In this book, noted Bach expert Eric Chafe combines theological, historical, analytical, and interpretive approaches to the cantatas to offer readers and listeners alike the richest possible experience of these works. A respected theorist of seventeenth-century music, Chafe is sensitive to the composer's intentions and to the enduring and universal qualities of the music itself. Concentrating on a small number of representative...

The groundbreaking analytical techniques of Heinrich Schenker have had a powerful impact on the English-speaking musical world, and their importance, a century after he embarked on his major projects, is greater than ever.

Music, Modernity, and the Global Imagination: South Africa and the West
ISBN: 9780195123678 / Angielski / Twarda / 1999 / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. How was Africa seen by the West during the colonial period? How do Europeans and Americans conceive of Africa in today's postcolonial era? Such questions have preoccupied anthropologists, historians, and literary scholars for years. But few have asked the reverse: how did--and do--Africans see Europe and the United States? Fewer still have wondered how Western images of Africa and African representations of the West might mirror one another. In a detailed study spanning from the late nineteenth century to the present, renowned anthropologist and ethnomusicologist Veit Erlmann examines the...

Schumann's Eichendorff Liederkreis and the Genre of the Romantic Cycle
ISBN: 9780195124477 / Angielski / Twarda / 2000 / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This new study draws on analysis, literary criticism, and source studies to propose a new conception of the nineteenth-century romantic cycle. Rather than a unified whole, the cycle is seen as a fragmentary and open-ended form, which enables Schumann to express the romantic themes of transcendence and ineffability in musical terms.
