Download or read book Suite in Four Movements written by Eric Coates and published by London : Heinemann. This book was released on 1953 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Among the best-loved names in English music today is that of Eric Coates. As a composer, both charming and stirring, he is responsible for two of our national signature tunes - the Knightsbridge March from his London Suite, which heralds In Town Tonight, and the tune which cheered and roused countless millions to greater effort during the war years, Calling All Workers. Here now is his autobiography: a story destined to fill the gaps in those untold private pictures which form around our favorite writers, actors and composers. This book opens with an Allegretto Pastorale, the scene of the author's boyhood among the fields and lands of Nottinghamshire and in the happy circle of family and friends. The youngest son of the local doctor, Eric Coates' musical gifts showed themselves at an early age, and developed unfettered in an environment of affectionate guidance and interest. The second movement of gathering tempo - Lento-Andante-Allegro - follows the young man's career as a student at the Royal Academy of Music and his beginnings as a viola player and composer. This is a story of endless fascination, introducing names which have passed into our life and culture. There are pictures of friends, tutors and professional acquaintances, among them Lionel Tertis, Sir Thomas Beecham, Sir Henry Wood, Elgar, W.S. Gilbert, Richard Strauss, Claude Debussy and so many more. And always, the thread of a personal life, and experiences as hilarious as the episode of the "Celtic quartet". Romanza in modo variazione is the romantic third movement. This is Mr. Coates' own love story, and one of the few true examples of the fairy-story formula "and so they lived happily ever after." Through this and the final Rondo we see the development of the young composer, from his first song success with Stonecracker John to the public figure we know today, whose Knightbridge March created a sales record in gramophone recordings and is known, with his other delightful compositions, throughout the world.

Book excerpt: This book analyses the relationship between commercial and elite culture in Britain in the early twentieth century. The development of popular national daily newspapers, the cinema, the radio, the gramophone, and other forms of mass entertainment threatened to upset traditional patterns ofBritish culture. Writers, artists, musicians, critics, and their sympathizers responded in a variety of ways. Some engaged in detailed polemics against the mass media; others, such as those associated with the BBC, embraced new technology and sought to uplift tastes. These groups struggled against aculture that measured success by popularity rather than aesthetic merit. With the significant extension of the franchise in 1918 and 1928, Britain finally enjoyed full parliamentary democracy. What culture was appropriate for that democracy became an issue which pitted the forces of the market placeagainst the influence of an articulate minority.

Book excerpt: I Will Survive is the story of Gloria Gaynor, America's "Queen of Disco." It is the story of riches and fame, despair, and finally salvation. Her meteoric rise to stardom in the mid-1970s was nothing short of phenomenal, and hits poured forth that pushed her to the top of the charts, including "Honey Bee," "I Got You Under My Skin," "Never Can Say Goodbye," and the song that has immortalized her, "I Will Survive," which became a #1 international gold seller. With that song, Gloria heralded the international rise of disco that became synonymous with a way of life in the fast lane - the sweaty bodies at Studio 54, the lines of cocaine, the indescribable feeling that you could always be at the top of your game and never come down. But down she came after her early stardom, and problems followed in the wake, including the death of her mother, whose love had anchored the young singer, as well as constant battles with weight, drugs, and alcohol. While her fans always imagined her to be rich, her personal finances collapsed due to poor management; and while many envied her, she felt completely empty inside. In the early 1980s, sustained by her marriage to music publisher Linwood Simon, Gloria took three years off and reflected upon her life. She visited churches and revisited her mother's old Bible. Discovering the world of gospel, she made a commitment to Christ that sustains her to this day.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Increasingly, it is becoming evident that those involved in socio-musical studies must focus their investigative lens on musical practice and articulation of the self, on music and community involvement and on music as a social medium for social relationships. What motivates people to be involved in musical performance, and how do they articulate these needs and drives? What do performers gain from their involvement in musical activities? How do audience members perceive their relationship to the performer, the music and the event? These questions and many more are addressed here with the benefit of detailed empirical work, including case studies of a chamber music festival and a contemporary music summer school. Pitts investigates the value of musical participation for performers and audience members in a range of contexts, using a multi-disciplinary approach to place new empirical data in the framework of existing theory and literature. Themes examined include: the shared musical experience; the social structures of performing societies; how people identify with music; the values implicit in musical preferences; the social responsibilities of the performer; the audience view of concerts and festivals; the social power of music and educational implications and responsibilities. Pitts draws upon literature from musicology, sociology and psychology of music, ethnomusicology, music education and community music to demonstrate the diversity of enquiry about musical behaviours. The conclusions of the book are based upon empirical evidence gleaned through case studies, with the data integrated thematically throughout, to enable a greater depth of discussion than individual studies usually permit.
