Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Narrative History of Music, Vol. 1: Book I, the Pre-Classic Periods So many and varied are the paths of musical enjoy ment and profit opened out in the following pages, so different and sometimes so conflicting are the types of art represented there, that the timid or inexperienced reader may well pause at the threshold, afraid of wholly losing his way in such a labyrinth. He may hesitate to trust himself in so unfamiliar a landscape without first seeing some sort of small-scale plan of the ground, which, omitting the confusing details, shows in bold relief only the larger and essential divisions - the 'lay of the land.' Such a plan it is the object of this introduction to furnish. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Synopsis The History of Music, Vol. 1 by : W. Chappell
Download or read book The History of Music, Vol. 1 written by W. Chappell and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-25 with total page 500 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Author Chappell's intent with The History of Music (Art and Science): Volume One - From the Earliest Records to the Fall of the Roman Empire was to produce a complete history of music. Beginning with the earliest evidence of music, which largely comes from the Greeks, Chappel attempts to trace the development of the art through to modern day. Volume One, presented here, traces the history of music until the fifth century. The book actually opens where many works conclude, with a detailed glossary and explanatory index. From there, Chappel begins his historical examination in earnest. Opening chapters highlight the early Greek system of music, the three-stringed lyre of Egypt, the development of harmonies, and the earliest uses of music. Later chapters discuss early designs of instruments and the importance of music in the Roman Empire. The volume concludes with a brief section of notes and addendums. The History of Music is a noble effort at documenting the history of the art, Chappell is clearly a well-researched and knowledgeable writer. The work includes a fair amount of technical analysis, and thus is best read by an individual with some knowledge of the principals of music theory. Chappell's first volume in his series The History of Music is a well-written and worthy attempt at documenting the early history of the development of music. Students of history, particularly those interested in music history, will certainly find this to be a fascinating work.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History of Music, Vol. 1 An attack was made thirty years ago on the assertion that Handel was not only a sacred composer, but was especially the founder of the epic element in music. It is, therefore, very satisfactory to observe the extent to which the truth of that assertion is now generally admitted 3 this can also be said of the admission of the proof that the invention of the Opera at Florence was due to a Tuscan school.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of Music, Vol. 3 of 3 Such was the state of Tragedy at the time of Sophocles; and the chorus, and the acting, and the solo singing, and the flute-playing were all knit together into one beautiful whole, and each in turn grew naturally out of the action of the drama in the part that it came, and there was no visible effort in producing this symmetry, but it all had the ease of nature. And it was the power of Rhythm which effected this masterly union of the various parts, and kept them all together, that is, the Rhythm of Character, which is otherwise called Strength, and abides in eternal repose; so that to us, at this distant time, the Tragedy and its makers seem like a gallery of gods, or like those marble figures, that are the other relics which have come down to us from that age of repose and beauty. But what were the causes that led to the weakening of this. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Oxford History of Music, Vol. 3: The Music of the Seventeenth Century The seventeenth century is, musically, almost a blank, even to those who take more than the average interest in the Art; and barely a score of composers' names during the whole time suggest anything more than a mere reputa tion to modern ears. But this is by no means owing to neglect of the Art, or lack of musical energy and enterprise. There was fully as much activity in musical production throughout the century as at other times; and lovers of the Art were quite under the impression that the music of their time would compare favourably with that of other times, and impress those that came after as much as it impressed themselves. The event proved it singularly short lived: and intrinsically most of it seems to casual observers little better than an archaeological curiosity. Yet to those whose sympathies extend a little further than their everyday acquaintance it is capable of being not only very interesting but widely suggestive. It is interesting to seek for the reasons of its appearing adequate to the people of its time, while it appears so slender and inadequate to those that come after; and it is suggestive of essential but rarely comprehended facts in relation to the very nature of Art and its place in the scheme of human things, to trace the manner in which the slenderest beginnings, manifested during the century, served as the foundations of all the most important and comprehensive forms of.

Such a plan it is the object of this introduction to furnish. Of the two most general types of reader, the professional musician and the amateur or lover of music, the first is least in need of such assistance. His keen interest in his specialty will naturally determine the order of his reading; he will look first for all he can find about that, and later work out from that centre in various directions, and meanwhile the plan peculiar to this work of assembling all information on a given subject contained in any of the volumes under a name or subject word in the index volume will make this process as systematic and economical of time as it is fascinating to intellectual curiosity.

Download or read book Musical Dictionary (Classic Reprint) written by W. L. Hubbard and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2016-08-26 with total page 626 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Musical Dictionary A dictionary of any language is properly supposed to contain all words in use in that language and also words which have been used in time 'past, but which have become obsolete. These Obsolete words are included in order that the development and history Of the language may be studied, and, for this reason, they are a very important part of such a work. This should also be true of a musical dictionary, as many terms which are not in use at the present time are of great value in the study Of the history Of music and also for a thorough understanding of Old musical manuscripts. With this idea in mind, the list of terms given in this dictionary have been compiled, including not only obsolete terms but also as far as possible equivalents in the various languages. For this reason, the number of terms given in this dictionary is greater than that found in any other musical dictionary extant, numbering as it does, about fourteen thousand definitions. In all definitions, the aim has been to use only the simplest and clearest English, so that the definitions would be readily understood by the ordinary reader, as well as the most finished musician. This plan has been carried out, even in the definitions of terms related to such difficult subjects as Theory and Composition. The work contains a number of special features not covered in any other musical dictionary. Among them being, Dances, National Songs, Poetic Meters, Modes and the Parts of the Mass. Each of these has been defined under the general term and also each Specific dance, song, meter, etc., has been included in its alphabetical place.
