Download or read book Musical Musings written by Alan Beggerow and published by . This book was released on 2019-10-15 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book consists of articles that were originally written for my classical music blog Musical Musings. This first volume is a mix of the familiar and the less familiar works of well-known composers and some not so well known. You'll not find the Big Three (Bach, Beethoven, and Brahms) in this book. That isn't to say that I do not listen to their works. Indeed, major composers are well represented on my blog Musical Musings. But I do appreciate lesser-known works from the famous and no so famous. On occasion it's good to hear works that are fresh on the ear. Some of those works are included in this collection. But I've also included a few ringers, such as Berlioz's Symphonie Fantastique and Béla Bartók's Concerto For Orchestra, works that are far from being unknown to classical listeners. The 50 works included in this volume run from the early Baroque composer Heinrich Schütz to the 20th century composer Aaron Copeland. It's a varied mixture of works for piano, chamber music, symphonies, tone poems and whatnot. The articles are varied also, with some detailed in analysis, in lives of the composers, on my impressions of the music, or a hodge-podge of information. Modern technology has created a great way to not only gather information about music, but to offer up actual performances of the music in question. Reading about music is all well and good, but it is like describing in words a painting by a great master. As the visual arts are meant to be seen, the aural arts are meant to be heard. No amount of description can do either art form justice. I have included the original links to the article on my blog that also has a performance of the work discussed. This of course works better in ebook form, as a link can be clicked to the site. That isn't possible in a print book, but it will give the reader an idfea of where to go to find a performance. Youtube is a treasure trove of all kinds of music. Search for the piece of music on google or youtube, chances are you'll find one. To my mind, with so many books and articles available about music, there should be a good reason or purpose for yet another. My purpose in this book is to help the curious listener to increase their enjoyment of music. If this book helps someone discover the beauty of music, or increase their knowledge and enjoyment of it, I will feel my humble efforts have not been in vain.

Book excerpt: This collection of writings by Gunther Schuller--the first composer to be awarded the Elise L. Stoeger Composer's Chair of the Chamber Society of Lincoln Center--provides a marvelous introduction to the man and his extraordinary range of musical experience, taste, and learning. In Part I, "Jazz and the Third Stream," Schuller offers his reflections on jazz, insightful pieces on such figures as Duke Ellington, Cecil Taylor, and Sonny Rollins, and several essays on "the third stream," the genre where jazz and classical music intersect. Part II, "Music Performance and Contemporary Music," includes articles on the art of conducting, the future of opera, the question of a new classicism, and Schuller's own thoughts on his controversial opera The Visitation. The final section, "Music Aesthetics and Education," presents Schuller's reflections on such matters as form, structure, and symbol in music; the need for broadening the audience for quality music; and his vision of the ideal conservatory and the total musician.

Book excerpt: Fifty years after they first came together and changed the sound of rock 'n' roll, the Grateful Dead remain one of rock's most beloved bands -- a musical and cultural phenomenon that spans generations and paved the way for everything from the world of jam bands and the idea of independently released music to social networking. Much has been written about the band, but nothing quite as vibrant and vivid as So Many Roads. Drawing on new interviews with surviving members and people in their inner circle -- along with the group's extensive archives and his own research from years of covering the group -- David Browne, longtime music journalist and contributing editor at Rolling Stone, does more than merely delve into the Dead's saga. By way of an altogether unique structure -- each chapter centered around a significant or pivotal day in their story -- he lends this epic musical and cultural story a you-are-there feel unlike any other book written about the band. So Many Roads takes us deep into the world of the Dead in ways that will be eye-opening even to the most rabid Deadheads. Readers will find themselves inside their communal home in Haight-Ashbury during the band's notorious 1967 bust; behind the scenes in the studio, watching the Dead at work (and play); backstage at the taping of the legendary "Touch of Grey" video and at their final shows; and in the midst of the Dead's legendary band meetings. Along the way, readers will hear not only from the Dead but also from friends, colleagues, lovers, and crew members, including some who've never spoken to the press before. The result is a remarkably detailed and cinematic book that paints a strikingly fresh portrait of one of rock's greatest and most enduring institutions and sheds new light -- for fans and newcomers alike -- on the band's music, dynamics, and internal struggles. "There is nothing like a Grateful Dead concert," read the legendary bumper stickers. Similarly, there's nothing like So Many Roads, which explores all-new routes on the band's long, strange trip.

When I think back to my best mixes—regardless of their commercial success—in each and every case, I can only describe the experience as one in which I was working from deep within, outside of any external forces. I wasn't thinking; I was doing. I wasn't scared of what anyone would think. I wasn't scared of failure. All my decisions were made with confidence, and once a judgment was made, I didn't second-guess myself. I allowed the music to guide me, and I based all of my mix decisions on nothing more than one simple criterion: Are the song and production doing what they're supposed to be doing?
That sounds nice, huh? I mean, that's the headspace you want to be in when you're mixing! The problem is, you can't get there if you're focused on all the wrong things, and we're all susceptible to distraction and self-doubt. Great mixing involves trusting yourself, first and foremost. And I can promise you, that trust is downright infectious to everyone on your project.
Who Am I?
I'm Mixerman, a gold and multi-platinum mixer, producer, and recordist. I've been mixing professionally and at a high level for over three decades now., and I can assure you, great mixing isn't about manipulating sound. It's about the decisions you make in regards to the music, the balances, and how you use the arrangement to push the listener forward through the song. This is accomplished thought concrete strategies and techniques, that I'm uniquely qualified to offer you.
Boost Your Confidence Now
You can spend the next decade mixing two songs a day to get there. Or you can get Zen & the Art of MIXING 2021, and I'll explain the thinking behind great mixing. And then watch your confidence soar.
There's a reason why this is my most popular work, to date. Enjoy, Mixerman

Download or read book A Musical Life written by Max Rudolf and published by Pendragon Press. This book was released on 2001 with total page 564 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume offers a collection of articles written by the renowned conductor and scholar Max Rudolf, together with a selection of his correspondence relating to material in the articles. Max Rudolf's conducting career spanned seventy years, from his first performances in l920-2l to his last in 1990. His life was devoted to performing, scholarship, and teaching. He conducted at the Metropolitan Opera from 1943 to 1937 and was Musical Director of the Cincinnati Symphony from 1938 to 1970, after which he combined guest conducting with teaching opera and conducting at the Curtis Institute in Philadelphia. The articles reflect a lifetime of thought on the art of conducting, musical style, and performance practice. Rudolf, known as an interpreter of the classical repertoire, freely shared his vast knowledge of Mozart's and Beethoven's scores with colleagues and students. His conducting book, The Grammar of Conducting, has been the leading college text in the field for many years. As such it has extended his influence on many generations of conductors. Throughout his life, Rudolf corresponded voluminously with other musicians. The letters included in this volume were selected because they shed a warm, personal light on the formal published articles thus providing an opportunity to share the mind and thoughts of an outstanding human bein
