Book Synopsis Nielsen: Symphony No. 5 by : David Fanning
Download or read book Nielsen: Symphony No. 5 written by David Fanning and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1997-06-05 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After the death of Mahler in 1911 the great Austro-German symphonic line was carried on mainly in England, America, Scandinavia and Russia. The Fifth Symphony of Carl Nielsen, a Danish composer, was composed in 1921. David Fanning discusses its place within the symphonic tradition since Beethoven, revealing the personal background to the work and taking account of the extensive Danish commentaries, including the composer's own. In an analysis of the music he lays bare the origins of its images of inertia, anxiety and collapse in Nielsen's tone poems and incidental music for the theatre. Insights are offered into the symphony's progressive tonality and its relationship to traditional structural models.

Book Synopsis Working with Bernstein by : Jack Gottlieb
Download or read book Working with Bernstein written by Jack Gottlieb and published by Hal Leonard Corporation. This book was released on 2010 with total page 389 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Early on, critics often were distracted by the Maestro's dancelike style as a conductor.... But he always protested that he was not aware of it during the performance. His podium manner had to be a burning need to communicate the composer's thought processes to both orchestra and audience, whatever the physicality it took to make it manifest. At times it was as if he were-in the title of one of his songs from On the Town-"Carried Away." One is reminded of words from Psalm 35:

Book Synopsis Sibelius: Symphony No. 5 by : James Hepokoski
Download or read book Sibelius: Symphony No. 5 written by James Hepokoski and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1993-04 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sibelius's Fifth is one of the great late-Romantic symphonies. In this searching account, based on a wealth of new information, James Hepokoski takes a fresh look at the work and its composer. His findings have implications beyond Sibelius himself into the entire repertory of Post-Wagnerian symphonic composition. The early chapters place the Fifth Symphony squarely within the general culture of European musical 'modernism' and focus in particular on the problem of the clash of that culture with the more radical 'New-Music' experiments of an emerging younger generation of composers. Subsequent chapters include a probing consideration of Sibelius's style and meditative aesthetic; an account of how the symphony was composed; and a descriptive analysis of the final, familiar version. The book concludes with a discussion of the composer's own prescribed tempos for the Fifth Symphony, along with a comparison of several different recordings.

Book Synopsis Carl Nielsen's Voice by : Anne-Marie Reynolds
Download or read book Carl Nielsen's Voice written by Anne-Marie Reynolds and published by Museum Tusculanum Press. This book was released on 2010 with total page 390 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers a comprehensive account of Carl Nielsen as a composer, viewed from the point of a musicologist with an international background and with considerable insight into Danish language and culture. Anne-Marie Reynolds examines a large portion of Carl Nielsen's songs, both in relation to his own production and in a broader cultural/historical context. This is also the first time in the reception history of Carl Nielsen that an in-depth analysis of his songs is presented. In addition to this analysis, the author provides a stylistic comparative examination of the songs, as well as two of his most important works the first symphony and the opera Masquerade. This is done to demonstrate that the opposition between Carl Nielsen as a composer of songs and Carl Nielsen as the composer of "great" works is only a seeming opposition. The book which is the result of a collaboration with Niels Krabbe, head of the Carl Nielsen Edition at The Royal Library will be published simultane
