Download or read book Georgia written by Anzor Erkomaishvili and published by Nova Science Publishers. This book was released on 2021 with total page 313 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The author of this book, Anzor Erkomaishvili, is one of the most well-known, recognized individuals in Georgia: a singer and choirmaster; a composer and performer; one who seeks out and publishes unique recordings scattered in the archives of various countries; the founder of the world famous Rustavi Ensemble; and a steadfast director for half a century... This ensemble has held up to 6,000 concerts in 80 countries and has recorded more than 900 folk songs and released them on CD. These tour impressions have not been depicted in any of Anzor Erkomaishvili's books. This ensemble receives ovations in world famous concert halls. Volumes of books are filled with the impressions of audience members enraptured by what they have heard. "The talent and expertise revealed by the singers, dancers, and instrumentalists of the Rustavi Ensemble evoke delight," the New York Times wrote (April 7, 1991) following a concert at the Beacon Theater on Broadway. It is possible to say that these writings by Anzor Erkomaishvili can be considered his "selected works". The book consists of eight chapters. The first chapter is titled "At the Origins". Here the author tells us about his ancestors and the search for Georgian recordings scattered about in foreign archives. The second chapter is "On Tour". Here two countries are singled out from a gigantic tour map: France and the United States of America. "Unforgettable Encounters" is the third chapter. This chapter describes meetings with intriguing people. The fourth chapter is "A Man's Fate". Here you will read some essays permeated with special artistic expressions and emotions. "Mysterious Voices" is the fifth chapter. Here the reader will get acquainted with some impressionable portraits of unique performers of Georgian folk singing. The sixth chapter is "Precious Silhouettes". Some interesting essays introduce readers to distinguished Georgian composers and opera singers. "To Save Singing" is the title of the seventh chapter. The author's credo is disclosed in this chapter: "If we want to save folk singing, we must teach it to children and make them fall in love with it." The way this credo became embodied within the creation of the Martve Children's Ensemble and its great success is discussed. The last chapter is titled "Reflections". Here are some thoughts the richly creative biographer has jotted down at various times. These are statements imbued with a humility characteristic of Erkomaishvili and expressed with the excellence and laconic forms that Jorje Luis Borges demanded from this genre"--
Book Synopsis The Oxford Handbook of Music Revival by : Caroline Bithell
Download or read book The Oxford Handbook of Music Revival written by Caroline Bithell and published by Oxford Handbooks. This book was released on 2014 with total page 721 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Revivals - movements that revitalize, resuscitate, or re-indigenize traditions perceived as threatened or moribund into new temporal, spatial, or cultural contexts - have been well-documented in Western Europe and Euro-North America. Less documented are the revival processes that have been occurring and recurring elsewhere in the world. And particularly under-analyzed are the aftermaths of revivals: the new infrastructures, musical styles, performance practices, subcultural communities, and value systems that have grown out of revival movements. The Oxford Handbook of Music Revival helps us achieve a deeper understanding of the role and development of traditional, folk, roots, world, classical, and early music in modern-day postindustrial, postcolonial, and postwar contexts. The book's thirty chapters present innovative theoretical perspectives illustrated through new ethnographic case studies on diverse music cultures around the world. Together these essays reveal the potency of acts of revival, resurgence, restoration, and renewal in shaping musical landscapes and transforming social experience. The contributors present research from Euro-America, Native America, Latin America and the Caribbean, Africa, Europe, the former Soviet bloc, Asia, Australia, and the Pacific. They enrich the field by applying approaches and insights from across the disciplines of ethnomusicology, ethnochoreology, historical musicology, folklore studies, anthropology, ethnology, sociology, and cultural studies. The book makes a powerful argument for the untapped potential of revival as a productive analytical tool in contemporary, global contexts-one that is crucial for understanding manifestations of musical heritage in postmodern, cosmopolitan societies. With its detailed treatment of authenticity, recontextualization, transmission, institutionalization, globalization, and other key concerns, the collection makes a significant impact far beyond the field of revival studies and is crucial for understanding contemporary manifestations of folk, traditional, and heritage music in today's postmodern cosmopolitan societies.
Download or read book Black Sea Sketches written by Jim Samson and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-02-04 with total page 253 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Black Sea Sketches is a portrait of some of the diverse musical cultures surrounding the Black Sea and in its hinterlands. Its six separate chapters follow a very broad trajectory from close-ups of traditional music (chapters 1-4) towards wide-angle studies of art music (chapters 5-6), and each of them opens windows to big, border-crossing themes about music and place. A wide variety of repertoires is discussed: ancient layers of polyphonic music, bardic songs, traditional music from the coasts and mountains, the sacred music of Islam and Orthodox Christianity, the art music of Europe and West Asia, and present-day popular music ‘scenes’. The usual practice is for each chapter to begin with a Black Sea coastal location before reaching out into the hinterlands. The result is a collection of six relatively discrete essays on different locations and topics, but with underlying thematic continuities, and offering a wide-ranging commentary on cultural difference. Firmly grounded in ethnographic and documentary research, this is an important study for scholars and researchers of Ethnomusicology, as also of Caucasian and Russian/East European Studies.

This book was released on 2013-02-14 with total page 657 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Oxford Handbook of Children's Musical Cultures is a compendium of perspectives on children and their musical engagements as singers, dancers, players, and avid listeners. Over the course of 35 chapters, contributors from around the world provide an interdisciplinary enquiry into the musical lives of children in a variety of cultures, and their role as both preservers and innovators of music. Drawing on a wide array of fields from ethnomusicology and folklore to education and developmental psychology, the chapters presented in this handbook provide windows into the musical enculturation, education, and training of children, and the ways in which they learn, express, invent, and preserve music. Offering an understanding of the nature, structures, and styles of music preferred and used by children from toddlerhood through childhood and into adolescence, The Oxford Handbook of Children's Musical Cultures is an important step forward in the study of children and music.

Book Synopsis The Image of Georgian Bath 1700-2000 by : Peter Borsay
Download or read book The Image of Georgian Bath 1700-2000 written by Peter Borsay and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2000-07-06 with total page 452 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This interdisciplinary study explores the evolution, structure, and uses of the image of Georgian Bath, from its genesis in the eighteenth century to its renaissance in the twentieth century. In recent decades there has been both a popular resurgence of interest in heritage and tradition, and a growing academic awareness of the power of imagery in shaping the lives of individuals and societies. There is perhaps no city in Britain so saturated in history and layered with historic imagery as Bath. It therefore provides an ideal case-study to investigate the dynamic fusion and impact of the forces of past and representation. The dominant perception of Bath today is that of a classical and particularly Georgian city. In this stimulating and scholarly study, Peter Borsay examines the construction and development of this image. Its principal components, biography and architecture, are explored, together with the media through which it was constructed and transmitted, as well as its commercial, social, political, and psychological uses. Dr Borsay concludes by relating the findings for Bath to current debates on towns, heritage, and the nature of history.

Book Synopsis Music as Heritage by : Barley Norton
Download or read book Music as Heritage written by Barley Norton and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-07-20 with total page 543 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As economic, technological and cultural change gathers pace across the world, issues of music heritage and sustainability have become ever more pressing. Discourse on intangible cultural heritage has developed in complex ways in recent years, and musical practices have been transformed by safeguarding agendas. Music as Heritage takes stock of these transformations, bringing new ethnographic and historical perspectives to bear on our encounters with music heritage. The volume evaluates the cultural politics, ethics and audiovisual representation of music heritage; the methods and consequences of music transmission across national borders; and the perennial issues of revival, change and innovation. UNESCO’s 2003 Convention for the Safeguarding of the Intangible Cultural Heritage provides an essential reference point for studies of music heritage. However, this volume also pays attention to important spheres of musical activity that lie outside of UNESCO’s reach and the reasons why some repertories of music are chosen for safeguarding while others are not. Some practices of art music in Europe explored in this book, for example, have received little attention despite being susceptible to endangerment. Developing a comparative framework that cuts across genre distinctions and disciplinary boundaries, Music as Heritage explores how music cultures are being affected by heritage discourse and the impact of international and national policies on grass-roots music practices.
Book Synopsis The Sacred Harp by : Buell E. Cobb, Jr.
Download or read book The Sacred Harp written by Buell E. Cobb, Jr. and published by University of Georgia Press. This book was released on 2004-12-01 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On any Sunday afternoon a traveler through the Deep South might chance upon the rich, full sound of Sacred Harp singing. Aided with nothing but their own voices and the traditional shape-note songbook, Sacred Harp singers produce a sound that is unmistakable--clear and full-voiced. Passed down from early settlers in the backwoods of the Southern Uplands, this religious folk tradition hearkens back to a simpler age when Sundays were a time for the Lord and the “singings.” Illustrated with forty-one songs from the original songbook, The Sacred Harp is a comprehensive account of a unique form of folk music. Buell Cobb’s study encompasses the history of the songbook itself, an analysis of the music, and an intimate portrait of the singers who have kept alive a truly American tradition.
