Book Synopsis Missa Festiva (Op. 154) by : Alexander Gretchaninoff
Download or read book Missa Festiva (Op. 154) written by Alexander Gretchaninoff and published by Alfred Music. This book was released on 1999-08-26 with total page 28 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gretchaninov started his musical studies rather late because his father, a businessman, had expected him to take over the family firm. Gretchaninov began his studies at the Moscow Conservatory in 1881, later moving to St. Petersburg where he studied composition and orchestration with Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov until 1893. It is not surprising that Rimsky's influence can be heard in Gretchaninov’s early works. The Missa Festiva was not written until 1937. This is the choral score of the work, with Latin text, and without notated accompaniment.

Book Synopsis Gabriel Faure by : Edward R. Phillips
Download or read book Gabriel Faure written by Edward R. Phillips and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2011-04-14 with total page 408 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 2011, this research study includes a biography section as well as the works of Gabriel Urbain Fauré born on 12 May 1845. Much of Fauré’s music, especially the late pieces, remain little played and little known—as a result, his reputation as a salon composer of pleasant music continues even among educated musicians. The author suggests that it is more likely that the difficulty of much of Fauré’s music for the listener and the demands it places upon him or her are the principal reasons for its omission from concert programs and for a misunderstanding of Fauré’s place in the history of French music

Book Synopsis Gabriel Fauré: The Songs and their Poets by : Graham Johnson
Download or read book Gabriel Fauré: The Songs and their Poets written by Graham Johnson and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-07-05 with total page 489 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The career of Gabriel Faur‘s a composer of songs for voice and piano traverses six decades (1862-1921); almost the whole history of French m die is contained within these parameters. In the 1860s Faur the lifelong prot of Camille Saint-Sa was a suavely precocious student; he was part of Pauline Viardot's circle in the 1870s and he nearly married her daughter. Pointed in the direction of symbolist poetry by Robert de Montesquiou in 1886, Faur as the favoured composer from the early 1890s of Winnarretta Singer, later Princesse de Polignac, and his songs were revered by Marcel Proust. In 1905 he became director of the Paris Conservatoire, and he composed his most profound music in old age. His existence, steadily productive and outwardly imperturbable, was undermined by self-doubt, an unhappy marriage and a tragic loss of hearing. In this detailed study Graham Johnson places the vocal music within twin contexts: Faur own life story, and the parallel lives of his many poets. We encounter such giants as Charles Baudelaire and Paul Verlaine, the patrician Leconte de Lisle, the forgotten Armand Silvestre and the Belgian symbolist Charles Van Lerberghe. The chronological range of the narrative encompasses Faur first poet, Victor Hugo, who railed against Napoleon III in the 1850s, and the last, Jean de La Ville de Mirmont, killed in action in the First World War. In this comprehensive and richly illustrated study each of Faur 109 songs receives a separate commentary. Additional chapters for the student singer and serious music lover discuss interpretation and performance in both aesthetical and practical terms. Richard Stokes provides parallel English translations of the original French texts. In the twenty-first century musical modernity is evaluated differently from the way it was assessed thirty years ago. Faur‘s no longer merely a 'Master of Charms' circumscribed by the belleque. His status as a great composer of timeless
Book Synopsis Choral Masterworks:A Listener's Guide by : Michael Steinberg
Download or read book Choral Masterworks:A Listener's Guide written by Michael Steinberg and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2005-04-22 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Michael Steinberg's highly successful listener's guides--The Symphony and The Concerto--have been universally praised for their blend of captivating biography, crystal clear musical analysis, and delightful humor. Now Steinberg follows these two greatly admired volumes with Choral Masterworks: A Listener's Guide, the only such guide available to this most popular of musical forms. Here are more than fifty illuminating essays on the classic choral masterworks, ranging from Handel's Messiah, Bach's Mass in B Minor, and Beethoven's Missa Solemnis, to works by Haydn, Brahms, Mendelssohn, and many others. Steinberg spans the entire history of classical music, from such giants of the Romantic era as Verdi and Berlioz, to leading modern composers such as Elgar, Rachmaninoff, Vaughan Williams, and Stravinsky, to contemporary masters such as John Adams and Charles Wuorinen. For each piece, Steinberg includes a fascinating biographical account of the work's genesis, often spiced with wonderful asides, such as the true story of Mozart's Requiem--Salieri had nothing to do with the composition of it, nor did he poison Mozart, who most likely died of rheumatic fever. The author also includes an astute musical analysis of each piece, one that casual music lovers can easily appreciate and that musicians and more serious fans will find invaluable. The book also includes basic information such as the various movements of the work, the organization of the chorus and orchestra, and brief historical notes on early performances. More than twenty million Americans perform regularly in choirs or choruses. Choral Masterworks will appeal not only to concert goers and CD collectors, but also to this vast multitude of choral performers, an especially engaged and active community.
Book Synopsis The Essential Classical Recordings by : Rick Phillips
Download or read book The Essential Classical Recordings written by Rick Phillips and published by McClelland & Stewart. This book was released on 2012-12-18 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most guides to classical recordings on CD comprise thousands of brief listings. In their attempt to be comprehensive, they end up being heavy and intimidating. Phillips knows better. He sticks to what he considers to be the 101 essential CDs, and tells readers not only why each one is the best recording in his opinion, but also why this piece of music belongs in their collection and where thecomposer fits into the evolution of classical music. Read consecutively, the recommendations — from medieval Gregorian chant to Arvo Pärt’s Fratres, written in 1977 — form a dazzling and concise history of classical music. Bach, Beethoven, and Mozart are here, of course, along with other beloved but lesser-known composers, such as Josquin Desprez, Anton Bruckner, and Gabriel Fauré. And popular pieces, such as Bach’s Brandenburg Concertos, Handel’s The Water Music, and Elgar’s Enigma Variations, are complemented by such less-familiar but outstanding compositions as the Turangalila Symphony by Olivier Messiaen. Connoisseurs and die-hard listeners to “Sound Advice” will appreciate having Phillips’s recommendations of specific recordings (and their catalogue numbers) between two covers at long last. And those who are just starting to explore the rich world of classical music will soon discover that Phillips is a guide they can trust.
Download or read book Gabriel Fauré written by Robert Orledge and published by Da Capo Press, Incorporated. This book was released on 1979 with total page 432 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The Pavane, the Sicilienne and a few other 'lollipops' are all that most people know of Fauré's music, apart from the ever-popular Requiem. But Gabriel Fauré was more than just a 'salon' composer--'the master of charms' Debussy called him--and his powerful wartime and final-period compositions in particular are often misunderstood. Although he lived through one of the most difficult and yet exciting periods for a musician--a period of rapid and often unexpected developments in the arts as a whole--yet he remained true to himself. The inspired professional musician of the nineteenth century developed into a 'classic' in the twentieth. The results of a great deal of research, carried out by the author and others, are included in this, the first major book on Fauré's life and music to appear in English for over thirty years. Dr Orledge comprehensively covers the whole of Fauré's extensive output, and deals in detail for the first time with the composer's manuscripts and notebooks. Copiously illustrated with plates and music-examples, this book will be essential reading for all concerned with the music of an unduly neglected French genius."--Back cover.

Book Synopsis The Musical Work of Nadia Boulanger by : Jeanice Brooks
Download or read book The Musical Work of Nadia Boulanger written by Jeanice Brooks and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2013-04-25 with total page 307 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nadia Boulanger - composer, critic, impresario and the most famous composition teacher of the twentieth century - was also a performer of international repute. Her concerts and recordings with her vocal ensemble introduced audiences on both sides of the Atlantic to unfamiliar historical works and new compositions. This book considers how gender shaped the possibilities that marked Boulanger's performing career, tracing her meteoric rise as a conductor in the 1930s to origins in the classroom and the salon. Brooks investigates Boulanger's promotion of structurally motivated performance styles, showing how her ideas on performance of historical repertory and new music relate to her teaching of music analysis and music history. The book explores the way in which Boulanger's musical practice relied upon her understanding of the historically transcendent masterwork, in which musical form and meaning are ideally joined, and shows how her ideas relate to broader currents in French aesthetics and culture.
