Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the Greatest Poems in American Literature Walt Whitman (1819-1892) was considered by many to be one of the most important American poets of all time. He had a profound influence on all those who came after him. “Song of Myself”, a portion of Whitman’s monumental poetry collection “Leaves of Grass”, is one of his most beloved poems. It was through this moving piece that Whitman first made himself known to the world. One of the most acclaimed of all American poems, it is written in Whitman’s signature free verse style, without a regular form, meter, or rhythm. His lines have a mesmerizing chant-like quality, as he sought to make poetry more appealing. Few poems are as fun to read aloud as this one. Considered to be the core of his poetic vision, this poem is an optimistic and inspirational look at the world in 1855. It is exhilarating, epic, and fresh in its brilliant and fascinating diction and wordplay as it tries to capture the unique meaning of words of the day, while also embracing the rapidly evolving vocabularies of the sciences and the streets. Far ahead of its time, it was considered by many social conservatives to be scandalous and obscene for its depiction of sexuality and desire, while at the same time, critics hailed the poem as a modern masterpiece. This first version of “Song of Myself” is far superior to the later versions and will delight readers with the playfulness of its diction as it glorifies the self, body, and soul. “I am large, I contain multitudes,”

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers the most comprehensive and detailed reading to date of Song of Myself. One of the most distinguished critics in Whitman Studies, Ed Folsom, and one of the nation’s most prominent writers and literary figures, Christopher Merrill, carry on a dialog with Whitman, and with each other, section by section, as they invite readers to enter into the conversation about how the poem develops, moves, improvises, and surprises. Instead of picking and choosing particular passages to support a reading of the poem, Folsom and Merrill take Whitman at his word and interact with “every atom” of his work. The book presents Whitman’s final version of the poem, arranged in fifty-two sections; each section is followed by Folsom’s detailed critical examination of the passage, and then Merrill offers a poet’s perspective, suggesting broader contexts for thinking about both the passage in question and the entire poem.

Download or read book Walt Whitman and Modern Music written by Lawrence Kramer and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-12-07 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Walt Whitman's poetry, especially his Civil War poetry, attracted settings by a wide variety of modern composers in both English- and German-speaking countries. The essays in this volume trace the transformation of Whitman's nineteenth-century texts into vehicles for confronting twentieth-century problems-aesthetic, social, and political. The contributors pay careful attention to music and poetry alike in examining how the Whitman settings become exemplary means of dealing with both the tragic and utopian faces of modernism. The book is accompanied by a recording by Joan Heller and Thomas Stumpf of complete Whitman cycles composed by Kurt Weill, George Crumb, and Lawrence Kramer, and the first recording of four Whitman songs composed in the 1920s by Marc Blitzstein.

This book was released on 2017-12-06 with total page 1095 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Song of Myself" is a poem by Walt Whitman that is included in his work Leaves of Grass. It has been credited as "representing the core of Whitman's poetic vision". The poem was first published without sections as the first of twelve untitled poems in the first (1855) edition of Leaves of Grass. The first edition was published by Whitman at his own expense. In 1856 it was called "A Poem of Walt Whitman, an American" and in 1860 it was simply termed "Walt Whitman." Walter "Walt" Whitman (1819 – 1892) was an American poet, essayist and journalist. His work was very controversial in its time, particularly his poetry collection Leaves of Grass, which was described as obscene for its overt sexuality.

This book was released on 2018-12-14 with total page 32 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is Charles V. Stanford "Songs of Faith, Op. 97," containing three classical musical compositions based upon poems by seminal poets Alfred, Lord Tennyson and Walt Whitman. The pieces are for voice and piano, with the lyrics of which being the words to the poems in question. Contents include: "The Soul," "Tears," and "Joy, Shipmate, Joy." This fantastic collection will appeal to lovers of classical music and poetry alike, and it it not to be missed fans and collectors of Stanford's wonderful work. Sir Charles Villiers Stanford (1852 - 1924) was an Irish composer, conductor, and teacher of music. He was educated at the University of Cambridge and continued his studies in Berlin and Leipzig. He was a very influential composer, responsible for making Cambridge University Musical Society an internationally-acclaimed organisation. Stanford was also a profuse composer, producing a large corpus of work in many genres; however, he is perhaps best remembered for his Anglican choral works for church performance. His music eventually became overshadowed by that of Edward Elgar and a number of his former pupils in the 20th century. Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. We are republishing this volume now in a modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially commissioned new introduction and biography of Walt Whitman.

Book excerpt: By his death at the end of the nineteenth century, Walt Whitman was already a towering figure in the American literary scene, and his influence spread quickly into the realm of vocal music. Throughout the twentieth century, scores of composers used his texts for a variety of vocal settingsto a surprisingly similar result. Whilst preparing a recital presenting a number of these settings, my score study uncovered a propensity by composers toward the interval of a perfect fourth, even with settings differing in time period, instrumentation, and scale. These composers, paying careful attention to match their music to the tenets of Whitmans poetry, show sensitivity to the relationship between text and music. To both confirm and bolster this claim, I aimed to broadly establish a compositional language for these composers by providing examples and counter-examples of their music in terms of how it relates to text and subject matter. In doing so, the perfect fourth emerged as a more distinct analogue for the expansive and inclusive poetry of Whitman, and that discovery strived to affirm the power of connecting poetry to musical ideas in vocal music. The literary and poetic heft of Walt Whitman is rich for mining, and these composers mirror the craft, mastery and attention to detail that made Whitman such a monumental American artist. By allowing their artistic sensibility to subsume, in part, that of Walt Whitmans in setting his poetry, these composers ultimately ended up creating more poignant, universal, and personally transcendent works of art.
