Book excerpt: Orestes was produced in 1750, an experiment which intensely interested the literary world and the public. In his Dedicatory Letters to the Duchess of Maine, Voltaire has the following passage on the Greek drama: "We should not, I acknowledge, endeavor to imitate what is weak and defective in the ancients: it is most probable that their faults were well known to their contemporaries. I am satisfied, Madam, that the wits of Athens condemned, as well as you, some of those repetitions, and some declamations with which Sophocles has loaded his Electra: they must have observed that he had not dived deep enough into the human heart. I will moreover fairly confess, that there are beauties peculiar not only to the Greek language, but to the climate, to manners and times, which it would be ridiculous to transplant hither. Therefore I have not copied exactly the Electra of Sophocles-much more I knew would be necessary; but I have taken, as well as I could, all the spirit and substance of it."

Download or read book Music and the Armenian Diaspora written by Sylvia Angelique Alajaji and published by Indiana University Press. This book was released on 2015-09-07 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Survivors of the Armenian genocide of 1915 and their descendants have used music to adjust to a life in exile and counter fears of obscurity. In this nuanced and richly detailed study, Sylvia Angelique Alajaji shows how the boundaries of Armenian music and identity have been continually redrawn: from the identification of folk music with an emergent Armenian nationalism under Ottoman rule to the early postgenocide diaspora community of Armenian musicians in New York, a more self-consciously nationalist musical tradition that emerged in Armenian communities in Lebanon, and more recent clashes over music and politics in California. Alajaji offers a critical look at the complex and multilayered forces that shape identity within communities in exile, demonstrating that music is deeply enmeshed in these processes. Multimedia components available online include video and audio recordings to accompany each case study.

Download or read book Balkan Epic written by Philip Vilas Bohlman and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 353 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since antiquity the epic has been the defining poetic and musical genre of southeastern Europe. Performed by specialist singers, usually accompanying themselves on stringed instruments, Balkan epics unfold narratively and with single lines, often over the course of hours or even days, requiring great feats of memory and creativity. Stories and histories converge in the Balkan epic, defining moments of conflict between empires and religions in the Middle Ages and nation-states in the present. Balkan epics are both classic works of literature and song in the southeastern European tradition and a form of political commentary and cultural expression in the modern Balkans. In Balkan Epic: Song, History, Modernity, editors Philip V. Bohlman and Nada Petković have compiled essays that examine epics across the Balkan region and in the major languages of the different nations. Individual authors explore the epics of Albania, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Croatia, Montenegro, Romania, and Serbia. Emphasizing the ways epics can symbolize the Balkans as a whole, they consider the contributions of individuals over the course of the historical longue duree and in the last decade. On the accompanying CD of recordings some never heard before these stories and histories come to life. Themes of conflict and reconciliation form a counterpoint, revealing the ways in which the epic sheds light on the aesthetic and political complexities of southeastern Europe today. Balkan Epic brings together diverse perspectives on the many repertories of epic song in southeastern Europe. Students and scholars in the fields of music, anthropology, history, linguistics, Slavic languages, media studies, and political science will benefit from the interdisciplinary thrust of the collected essays."

Download or read book The Song Contests of Turkish Minstrels written by Yıldıray Erdener and published by Scholarly Title. This book was released on 1995 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A study of the world of competitive singing in the context of the Turkish coffee house. It investigates the ashik or minstrel and his relationship to music, poetry, and compositional strategies. One of the main focuses is the interaction between the ashik and the audience at a small coffee house in Kars, Turkey. The social milieu in which the song contest tradition has developed and flourished forms an important part of the study, as does the role of spontaneously composed poetry and the problem of how meaning is derived from social interaction during a song contest.

Download or read book New Essays on Diderot written by James Fowler and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2011-03-24 with total page 281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The great eighteenth-century French thinker Denis Diderot (1713–84) once compared himself to a weathervane, by which he meant that his mind was in constant motion. In an extraordinarily diverse career he produced novels, plays, art criticism, works of philosophy and poetics, and also reflected on music and opera. Perhaps most famously, he ensured the publication of the Encyclopédie, which has often been credited with hastening the onset of the French Revolution. Known as one of the three greatest philosophes of the Enlightenment, Diderot rejected the Christian ideas in which he had been raised. Instead, he became an atheist and a determinist. His radical questioning of received ideas and established religion led to a brief imprisonment, and for that reason, no doubt, some of his subsequent works were written for posterity. This collection of essays celebrates the life and work of this extraordinary figure as we approach the tercentenary of his birth.

Book excerpt: This important book was compiled under the auspices of the Vano Sarajishvili Tbilisi State Conservatoire,International Research Center for Traditional Polyphony in Tbilisi, Georgia. This collection is aimed to those who are interested in Georgian traditional polyphonic singing. It contains seventeen works of seventeen authors, both foreign and Georgian scholars, written throughout the 20th and 21st centuries. Eleven of these works had been published before (but not in English), and six of the articles were written by contemporary scholars for this collection. Problems of the origins, distribution, ethno-cultural interaction with other cultures, identity, scales, harmony, issues of vocal and instrumental polyphony are discussed in these articles. Georgian traditional polyphony has long since become a symbol of the complexity that traditional musical culture can achieve in creating sophisticated forms of multi-part singing. In 2001 UNESCO proclaimed Georgian polyphonic singing a "Masterpiece of the Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity". Earlier, in 1977 Georgian song Chakrulo was included among the very limited amount of information about the Earth and its diverse cultures that was launched into space. Georgia is becoming one of the international centers of the study of the traditional polyphony.
