Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Setting aside the pastiche of bullfighters and flamenco dancers that has dominated the U.S. image of Spain for more than a century, this innovative volume uncovers the roots of Spanish studies to explain why the diversity, vitality, and complexity of Spanish history and culture have been reduced in U.S. accounts to the equivalent of a tourist brochure. Spurred by the complex colonial relations between the United States and Spain, the new field of Spanish studies offered a way for the young country to reflect a positive image of itself as a democracy, in contrast with perceived Spanish intolerance and closure. Spain in America investigates the political and historical forces behind this duality, surveying the work of the major nineteenth-century U.S. Hispanists in the fields of history, art history, literature, and music. A distinguished panel of contributors offers fresh examinations of the role of U.S. writers, especially Washington Irving and Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, in crafting a wildly romantic vision of Spain. They examine the views of such scholars as William H. Prescott and George Ticknor, who contrasted the "failure" of Spanish history with U.S. exceptionalism. Other essays explore how U.S. interests in Latin America consistently colored its vision of Spain and how musicology in the United States, dominated by German émigrés, relegated Spanish music to little more than a footnote. Also included are profiles of the philanthropist Archer Mitchell Huntington and the pioneering art historians Georgiana Goddard King and Arthur Kingsley Porter, who spearheaded U.S. interest in the architecture and sculpture of medieval Spain. Providing a much-needed look at the development and history of Hispanism, Spain in America opens the way toward confronting and modifying reductive views of Spain that are frozen in another time.

Download or read book Manuel de Falla and Visions of Spanish Music written by Michael Christoforidis and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-11-23 with total page 503 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Michael Christoforidis is widely recognized as a leading expert on one of Spain's most important composers, Manuel de Falla. This volume brings together both new chapters and revised versions of previously published work, some of which is made available here in English for the first time. The introductory chapter provides a biographical outline of the composer and characterisations of both Falla and his music during his lifetime. The sections that follow explore different facets of Falla’s mature works and musical identity. Part II traces the evolution of his flamenco-inspired Spanish style through contacts with Claude Debussy, Maurice Ravel and Igor Stravinsky, while Part III explores the impact of post-World War I modernities on Falla’s musical nationalism. The final part reflects on aspects of Falla’s music and the politics of Spain in the 1930s and 1940s. Situating his discussion of these aspects of Falla's music within a broader context, including currents in literature and the visual arts, Christoforidis provides a distinctive and original contribution to the study of Falla as well as to the wider fields of musical modernism, exoticism, and music and politics.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A monumental study of musical practices in 18th century Santiago de Chile, and the only English-language monograph about Chilean colonial music, A Sweet Penance of Music offers a comprehensive view of musicians within the city and their links with other Latin American urban centers in the wider colonial system. Author Alejandro Vera, recent winner of the International Casa de las Américas Musicology Prize for the Spanish edition of his monograph, provides a fascinating account of the quotidian cultural and social significance of music in varying physical spheres - from cathedrals, convents, and monasteries, to private houses and public spaces. He brings to life a city long neglected in the shadow of other colonial centers of economic power, asserting the importance of duality in the period and its music - particularly centering one nun harpist's conception of music as "sweet penance." Drawing from historical documents and musical scores of the period, A Sweet Penance of Music breaks new ground, laying the foundation for a revisionist approach to the study of music in the colonial Americas.

Book excerpt: ¿De qué hablaban Mozart y Da Ponte mientras componían? ¿Qué palabras amargas se dijeron Verdi y el duque de Rivas frente al Teatro Real de Madrid en la víspera de estrenar La forza del destino? ¿Por qué dejaron de compartir habitación Musorsgky y Rimsky-Korsakov? ¿Tenía envidia Haendel de Bach, o tenía miedo, o solo le dio pereza recibirle y por eso nunca llegaron ni a saludarse? ¿Cómo se tomaba Liszt las críticas de Berlioz? ¿Qué dijo Schubert, un poco borracho, el día del entierro de Beethoven? Las respuestas a estas preguntas... no las tenemos con certeza. Pero el autor de este libro las ha imaginado ayudado por las cartas, las biografías, los testimonios de la época y la obra de los compositores y artistas que protagonizan este libro. Con verdadera admiración y cariño hacia sus personajes, buen pulso narrativo, sentido del humor y atención al detalle, Santiago Miralles Huete firma 24 preludios (y una inesperada "fuga" final) que componen una historia de la música clásica. Alternativa, literaria, imaginada si se quiere, pero fiel y documentada. Un verdadero festín para melómanos de todos los géneros y todas las edades.

This book was released on 2014-10-02 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bachata--a guitar-based romantic music that debuted in Santo Domingo's urban shantytowns in the 1960s--is today one of the hottest Latin genres. Still, fans and musicians have not forgotten the social stigma the genre carried for decades. This book interweaves bachata's history and development with the socio-political context of Dominican identity. The author argues that its early disfavor resulted from the political climate of its origins and ties between class and race, and proposes that its ultimate acceptance as a symbol of Dominican identity arose from its innovations, the growth of the lower class, and a devoted following among Dominican migrants. La bachata--una musica de guitarra que se estreno en los barrios populares de Santo Domingo en los anos 60--hoy, es uno de los generos latinos mas populares. No obstante, sus aficionados y sus exponentes recuerdan el estigma social asociado que conllevo por decadas. Este libro entreteje la historia y el desarrollo de la bachata con el contexto socio-politico de la identidad dominicana. La autora plantea que su desaprobacion temprana resulto del clima politico en que nacio y los vinculos entre raza y clase social. Propone que su aceptacion final como simbolo de identidad dominicana surge de sus innovaciones, el crecimiento de la clase baja y sus seguidores leales entre los migrantes dominicanos.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Providing new analysis, anthropologists, ethnomusicologists, sociologists, and philologists have developed a concept of hybridization that has exceeded the boundaries of their established disciplines. The authors, experts in Argentinian and Italian tango, Algerian rai, Catalonian sardana, Andalusian flamenco and Greek rebetika, focus on transcultural hybridization particularly from an ethnographic perspective. Additional contributors offer important epistemological and methodological interrogations and discuss the macro-structures of the music industry in the global markets.
