Book Synopsis Musik bezieht Stellung by : Stefan Hanheide
Download or read book Musik bezieht Stellung written by Stefan Hanheide and published by V&R unipress GmbH. This book was released on 2013 with total page 472 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On the battlefields of world history, music has had many functions. It is exploited by propaganda to hound the enemy, and battle songs are used to drive out fear and vilify the enemy. Soldiers sing and play music to find solace in the madness of war and to remain human. The First World War - the first modern war - led the way in the functionalisation of music. While old traditions such as the soldier song still had their importance, new media such as the gramaphone record were tested for propagandistic ends. Popular songs from operettas and chorus songs began to take over the function that folk songs previously had. The diverse roles of music in the first World War are examined in the contributions to this volume. The authors shed light on the theme from different perspectives. How was music used in propaganda to fight the enemy? How did soldiers in the trenches use music to survive? And, finally, how was the theme of war dealt with in music?
Book Synopsis Art, Play, Labour: the Music Profession in Germany (1850–1960) by : Martin Rempe
Download or read book Art, Play, Labour: the Music Profession in Germany (1850–1960) written by Martin Rempe and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2023-05-08 with total page 486 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Germany is considered a lauded land of music: outstanding composers, celebrated performers and famous orchestras exert great international appeal. Since the 19th century, the foundation of this reputation has been the broad mass of musicians who sat in orchestra pits, played in ensembles for dances or provided the musical background in silent movie theatres. Martin Rempe traces their lives and working worlds, including their struggle for economic improvement and societal recognition. His detailed portrait of the profession ‘from below’ sheds new light on German musical life in the modern era.
Book Synopsis Making Sense of Violence by : Matthew D'Auria
Download or read book Making Sense of Violence written by Matthew D'Auria and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-11-25 with total page 255 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book looks at the representations of modern war by analysing texts and examining the ways in which authors relate to the atrocious horrors of war. Rejecting the assumption that violence is simply a denial of reason or, at best, a pathological form of collective sadism, this book considers it ‘a cultural act’ that needs to be understood as underpinned by a series of shared and accepted norms and values stemming from a society at a given moment of its history and shaped by its language. Traditional vocabulary and language seem inadequate to describe soldiers’ experience of modern warfare. The problem for writers is to depict and render intelligible a dramatically unprecedented reality through recourse to something familiar. For some historians and literary critics, the absurdity of the First World War has shaped our ironic and disenchanted reading of the entire twentieth century. Yet these ways of coping with the urge to communicate inexpressible feelings and emotions in most cases are not sufficient to overcome the incoherence of the sentiments felt and the events witnessed. The contributors attempt to address the questions and issues that are posed by the highly ambiguous views, texts, and representations examined in this volume. This book was originally published as a special issue of the journal European Review of History: Revue Européenne d’Histoire.

Book Synopsis Music in World War II by : Pamela M. Potter
Download or read book Music in World War II written by Pamela M. Potter and published by Indiana University Press. This book was released on 2020-10-06 with total page 318 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How can music withstand the death and destruction brought on by war? Global conflicts of the 20th century fundamentally transformed not only national boundaries, power relations, and global economies, but also the arts and culture of every nation involved. An important, unacknowledged aspect of these conflicts is that they have unique musical soundtracks. Music in World War II explores how music and sound took on radically different dimensions in the United States and Europe before, during, and after World War II. Additionally, the collection examines the impact of radio and film as the disseminators of the war's musical soundtrack. Contributors contend that the European and American soundtrack of World War II was largely one of escapism rather than the lofty, solemn, heroic, and celebratory mode of "war music" in the past. Furthermore, they explore the variety of experiences of populations forced from their homes and interned in civilian and POW camps in Europe and the United States, examining how music in these environments played a crucial role in maintaining ties to an idealized "home" and constructing politicized notions of national and ethnic identity. This fascinating and well-constructed volume of essays builds understanding of the role and importance of music during periods of conflict and highlights the unique aspects of music during World War II.
Book Synopsis Singing, Soldiering, and Sheet Music in America during the First World War by : Christina Gier
Download or read book Singing, Soldiering, and Sheet Music in America during the First World War written by Christina Gier and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2016-10-19 with total page 231 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An advertisement in the sheet music of the song “Goodbye Broadway, Hello France” (1917) announces: “Music will help win the war!” This ad hits upon an American sentiment expressed not just in advertising, but heard from other sectors of society during the American engagement in the First World War. It was an idea both imagined and practiced, from military culture to sheet music writers, about the power of music to help create a strong military and national community in the face of the conflict; it appears straightforward. Nevertheless, the published sheet music, in addition to discourse about gender, soldiering and music, evince a more complex picture of society. This book presents a study of sheet music and military singing practices in America during the First World War that critically situates them in the social discourses, including issues of segregation and suffrage, and the historical context of the war. The transfer of musical styles between the civilian and military realm was fluid because so many men were enlisted from homes with the sheet music while they were also singing songs in their military training. Close musical analysis brings the meaningful musical and lyrical expressions of this time period to the forefront of our understanding of soldier and civilian music making at this time.
Book Synopsis Popular Song in the First World War by : John Mullen
Download or read book Popular Song in the First World War written by John Mullen and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-09-18 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What did popular song mean to people across the world during the First World War? For the first time, song repertoires and musical industries from countries on both sides in the Great War as well as from neutral countries are analysed in one exciting volume. Experts from around the world, and with very different approaches, bring to life the entertainment of a century ago, to show the role it played in the lives of our ancestors. The reader will meet the penniless lyricist, the theatre chain owner, the cross-dressing singer, fado composer, stage Scotsman or rhyming soldier, whether they come from Serbia, Britain, the USA, Germany, France, Portugal or elsewhere, in this fascinating exploration of showbiz before the generalization of the gramophone. Singing was a vector for patriotic support for the war, and sometimes for anti-war activism, but it was much more than that, and expressed and constructed debates, anxieties, social identities and changes in gender roles. This work, accompanied by many links to online recordings, will allow the reader to glimpse the complex role of popular song in people’s lives in a period of total war.
Book Synopsis The Creation of iGiselle by : Nora Foster Stovel
Download or read book The Creation of iGiselle written by Nora Foster Stovel and published by University of Alberta. This book was released on 2019-03-11 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The unusual marriage of Romantic ballet and artificial intelligence is an intriguing idea that led a team of interdisciplinary researchers to design iGiselle, a video game prototype. Scholars in the fields of literature, physical education, music, design, and computer science collaborated to revise the tragic narrative of the nineteenth-century ballet Giselle, allowing players to empower the heroine for possible ”feminine endings.” The eight interrelated chapters chronicle the origin, development, and fruition of the project. Dancers, gamers, and computer specialists will all find something original that will stimulate their respective interests.

Book Synopsis Nations, Identities and the First World War by : Nico Wouters
Download or read book Nations, Identities and the First World War written by Nico Wouters and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2018-07-12 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nations, Identities and the First World War examines the changing perceptions and attitudes about the nation and the fatherland by different social, ethnic, political and religious groups during the conflict and its aftermath. The book combines chapters on broad topics like propaganda state formation, town and nation, and minorities at war, with more specific case studies in order to deepen our understanding of how processes of national identification supported the cultures of total war in Europe. This transnational volume also reveals and develops a range of insightful connections between the themes it covers, as well as between different groups within Europe and different countries and regions, including Western and Eastern Europe, the Ottoman Empire and colonial territories. It is a vital study for all students and scholars of the First World War.
Book Synopsis Richard Strauss in Context by : Morten Kristiansen
Download or read book Richard Strauss in Context written by Morten Kristiansen and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2020-10-29 with total page 653 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Richard Strauss in Context offers a distinctive approach to the study of a composer in that it places the emphasis on contextualizing topics rather than on biography and artistic output. One might say that it inverts the relationship between composer and context. Rather than studies of Strauss's librettists that discuss the texts themselves and his musical settings, for instance, this book offers essays on the writers themselves: their biographical circumstances, styles, landmark works, and broader positions in literary history. Likewise, Strauss's contributions to the concert hall are positioned within the broader development of the orchestra and trends in programmatic music. In short, readers will benefit from an elaboration of material that is either absent from or treated only briefly in existing publications. Through this supplemental and broader contextual approach, this book serves as a valuable and unique resource for students, scholars, and a general readership.
Book Synopsis The Long End of the First World War by : Anorthe Wetzel
Download or read book The Long End of the First World War written by Anorthe Wetzel and published by Campus Verlag. This book was released on 2018-09-15 with total page 297 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This fall marks the centennial of the Armistice of November 11, 1918, the agreement that put a stop to the hostilities of World War I. But was the end of this historic conflict really as clearly defined as we think? The Long End of the First World War takes aim at the notion of a static and final ceasefire, revealing it to be the result of European narratives that ignored the truly global aftermath of the war. The contributors to this volume examine the war's effect from multiple angles, taking into account the experiences of prisoners of war, demobilized soldiers, women, and children from Asia, Africa, and the Middle East, and investigating the social, economic, and ecological results of the conflict. The Long End of the First World War serves as a complement to the commemorations of the Armistice we'll surely see this year, asking us to consider who and what ends up in the historical record and what ought to be rediscovered.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Facharbeit (Schule) aus dem Jahr 2011 im Fachbereich Musikwissenschaft, Note: 1,0, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: In der vorliegenden Facharbeit mochte ich mich dem Vergleich zwischen links- und rechtsorientierter politischer Musik in der Bundesrepublik Deutschland ab 1970 widmen. Dabei mochte ich nicht nur die Unterschiede, sondern auch die Gemeinsamkeiten beider Richtungen herausstellen. Als weiteres Thema mochte ich die rechtliche Situation in Deutschland aufgreifen und schlussendlich ein Fazit ziehen. Ich habe mich ausserdem dazu entschieden, den Vergleich in jeweils zwei Epochen einzuteilen: einmal die Zeit um das Jahr 1970 herum bis zum Ende der 1980er Jahre und ab den spaten 1980er Jahren bis in die heutige Zeit. Diese Unterteilung ist insofern angebracht, da zum Ende der 1980er Jahre eine Zeit kultureller und gesellschaftlicher Veranderungen begonnen bzw. stattgefunden hat, aber gleichzeitig auch eine Veranderung in der Musik beider Richtungen zu beobachten ist

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Im Fokus des Bandes steht die Musikkultur in West- und Ostdeutschland wahrend der Nachkriegszeit - nach dem Ende der nationalsozialistischen Herrschaft, im Zeichen von Entnazifizierung und neuen Ansatzen. Zwischen Kontinuitat und Diskontinuitat von Gedanken und Karrieren beleuchtet der Band die Situation der Musik an der Schnittstelle von Zeit- und Musikgeschichte.
