Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Popular History of Music From the Earliest Times The following pages are intended to trace in a succinct way the general practice and development of music among the principal nations before and in the Christian era, for the use of music lovers who have not the time to read more extensive works on the subject. The book opens with the musical records of the Old Testament, wherein music is established as an essential part in the divine service of the ancient Hebrews, and as a most cheering ingredient of their social life. The heathen nations of the olden times also recognised the solemn and moral character of music, and used it in their worship and on every festive occasion in public and in the family circle. If hardly anything of actual music from the most ancient nations has come down to our time, we yet have drawings of some of their instruments, by which we gain some idea of the state of their music. Their poets spoke in rapturous terms of the influence and power of music, and their rulers made laws for preserving music in purity and simplicity. Of the music in the Christian era we have specimens from the early centuries, which accumulate more and more from the nth century through the principal schools of music down to our time.

Book Synopsis Stokes' Encyclopedia of Music and Musicians, Vol. 1 by : L. J. De Bekker
Download or read book Stokes' Encyclopedia of Music and Musicians, Vol. 1 written by L. J. De Bekker and published by . This book was released on 2015-08-09 with total page 404 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Stokes' Encyclopedia of Music and Musicians, Vol. 1: Revised and Enlarged Edition, Covering the Entire Period of Musical History From the Earliest Times to the Season of 1909-10 This book is intended to be a record of fact and not of opinion. It is a reference book to which one may turn for adequate information on any matter connected with music or musicians. It is comprehensive, containing a wider variety and, it is believed, a greater number of topics than any other musical reference work. It includes, for example, definitions of musical terms simply expressed; biographies of all musicians worthy of remembrance; explanations of the theory of music, without technicalities; the stories of all the important operas, beside all the matters usually included in musical encyclopedias. Because of the fact that English-speaking people hear opera in every tongue but their own, the author has made a point of narrating as fully as possible stories of all operas which are generally sung or which are likely to become popular. In this respect the work has unusual value for the layman. Since special stress is laid on achievement, complete lists of the works of the great composers are given. Even in the notes about obscure musicians the titles of some works arc included. A list of books for further reading is given at the end of every important article. American and English musicians, so often neglected in works of this kind, are given their due proportion of space. Respect for the old masters of established reputation has not interfered with just treatment of the younger generation of French and Italians.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History of American Music This series of books brings together for the first time the materials for a history of American art. Heretofore there have been attempts to narrate some special period or feature of our artistic development, but the narrative has never been consecutive 01' conclusive. The present volumes begin with colonial times, and carry the record down to the year 1904. They are intended to cover the graphic, the plastic, the illustrative, the architectural, the musical, and the dramatic arts, and to recite the results in each department historically and critically. That the opinions ventured should be authoritative, the preparation of each volume has been placed in the hands of an expert, - 0ne who practises the craft whereof he writes. The series is therefore a history of American art written from the artist's point of view, and should have special value for that reason.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Stokes' Encyclopedia of Music and Musicians: Covering the Entire Period of Musical History From the Earliest Times to the Season of 1908-09 In order to include hundreds of new subjects while giving ade quate treatment to the usual topics, it has been necessary to adopt some method of condensation. Abbreviations have been employed and such useless verbiage as the time and place of his death are a matter of dispute has been eliminated. In biographical accounts the name of the person is invariably followed by an active verb leading into that person's achievements. If the dates or other facts are unknown, they are omitted Without comment. This book was written to meet the necessities of students and lovers of music, but it is hoped that professional musicians may find it helpful by reason of its simplicity, compactness, and thorough system of cross-referencing.

Book excerpt: A Popular History of the Art of Music From the Earliest Times Until the Present by W. S. B. (William Smythe Babcock) Mathews HE name "music" contains two ideas, both of them important in our modern use of the term: The general meaning is that of "a pleasing modulation of sounds." In this sense the term is used constantly by poets, novelists and even in conversation-as when we speak of the "music of the forest," the "music of the brook" or the "music of nature." There is also a reminiscence of the etymological derivation of the term, as something derived from the "Muses," the fabled retinue of the Greek god Apollo, who presided over all the higher operations of the mind and imagination. Thus the name "music," when applied to an art, contains a suggestion of an inspiration, a something derived from a special inner light, or from a higher source outside the composer, as all true imagination seems to be to those who exercise it. 2. Music has to do with tones, sounds selected on account of their musical quality and relations. These tones, again, before becoming music in the artistic sense, must be so joined together, set in order, controlled by the human imagination, that they express sentiment. Every manifestation of musical art has in it these two elements: The fit selection of tones; and, second, the use of them for expressing sentiment and feeling. Hence the practical art of music, like every other fine art, has in it two elements, an outer, or technical, where trained intelligence rules, and teaching and study are the principal means of progress; and an inner, the imagination and musical feeling, which can indeed be strengthened by judicious experience in hearing, but which when wanting cannot be supplied by the teacher, or the laws of their action reduced to satisfactory statement. We are delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive Classic Library collection. Many of the books in our collection have been out of print for decades, and therefore have not been accessible to the general public. The aim of our publishing program is to facilitate rapid access to this vast reservoir of literature, and our view is that this is a significant literary work, which deserves to be brought back into print after many decades.
