Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Student's Musical History AN article, which appeared in The Overture was the occasion of my being requested to write this book: In that article I had pointed out how ignorance of musical history sometimes has a considerable inﬂuence upon various practical matters; and, since musicians almost universally suppose that with which they are familiar to be correct and classical, it is well that they should learn in their student-days how notation, style of performance, and resources at command, have varied considerably even during the last two centuries. To perform the works of the great masters correctly, it is not sufficient to produce the correct notes. Again, in the bach-handel period, notation was in some respects so different from the present staff notation that it has led to mistakes in certain modern editions.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History of Music: A Handbook and Guide for Students While the ideal scope of the subject is thus wide, the field of a particular written history is at once less and more. It is less, because it is utterly impossible to compress into a Single book all the facts. It is more, because the practical historian must be something of a critic as he works, selecting certain groups of facts for emphasis, classifying them under logical heads, and seeking at every point to keep what he conceives to be of special importance in the foreground.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: R. J. Stove's A Student's Guide to Music History is a concise account, written for the intelligent lay reader, of classical music's development from the early Middle Ages onwards. Beginning with a discussion of Hildegard von Bingen, a twelfth-century German nun and composer, and the origins of plainchant, Stove's narrative recounts the rise (and ever-increasing complexity) of harmony during the medieval world, the differences between secular and sacred music, the glories of the contrapuntal style, and the origins of opera. Stove then relates the achievements of the high baroque period, the very different idioms that prevailed during the late eighteenth century, and the emergence of Romanticism, with its emphasis upon the artist-hero. With the late nineteenth century came a growing emphasis on musical patriotism, writes Stove, especially in Spain, Hungary, Russia, Bohemia, Norway, Denmark, Finland, and the United States. A final section discusses the trends that have characterized music since 1945. Stove's guide also singles out eminent composers for special coverage, including Palestrina, Monteverdi, Handel, Bach, Haydn, Mozart, Beethoven, Schubert, Wagner, Verdi, Brahms, Debussy, Richard Strauss, Sibelius, and Messiaen. As a brief orientation to the history and countours of classical music, A Student's Guide to Music History is an unparalleled resource.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Book of Musical Knowledge: The History, Technique, and Appreciation of Music, Together With Lives of the Great Composers; For Music-Lovers, Students, and Teachers This book has been planned with a view to placing before the gen eral reader the main facts that will enable him to appreciate music intelligently. One often hears the remark, I'm fond of music, but I don't understand it. The present work has been written with the idea of enabling the non-musician to comprehend the real meaning of the tonal art, and to familiarize himself with the value of the great composers' works, the use of the instruments, the various mu sical forms, and a number of subjects of similar importance. At the same time, certain other technical topics have been in cluded. While these have been presented in such a way as to be un derstood by the non-musician, they have been given with sufficient thoroughness to make the work useful also as a textbook. It is there fore fitted to the needs of students and teachers, as well as amateurs. An effort has been made to condense the chief points of a general musical education into a Single volume. While this book should prove of interest to the average reader, a course of study has been added, which will make it suitable for use in high schools or colleges also, or in any institution that aims to give a course in the under standing of music.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Guide to the Study of Musical History and Criticism The topics and references contained in the following pages are intended as an aid to those who wish to study musical history and criticism in a systematic and scholar-like manner. The time has gone by when the authority of a single book or a Single author could meet the demands of an intelligent curiosity. In history, litera ture, - every department of research in which the reliance is wholly or partially upon books, it is now taken for granted that the only rational method is the examination of many authorities with the aid of abstracts, topics, references, and similar guides. The scheme of this present manual is to indicate what material exists in English for the study of musical history, and how that material may be used to the greatest advantage. The topics are synopses of lectures given at Oberlin College; but they are also of general utility, for they summarize the most important phases of the subject, and show the student along what lines his inquiry must proceed. The method is to treat the topics as questions, and find the answers in the references. The author has in general, avoided references to books that are difficult to procure. Only those articles in periodicals are cited which deal with subjects that are not so well or concisely covered in any of the books available, or which have a special interest given them by their authorship.

But the differences of attainment and of custom between different countries were often great. As the centuries passed, the center of musical activity and authority moved often, being transferred at certain important epochs from one nation to another. But the number of independent centers steadily increased. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Excursions in Musical History His book is intended for any reader who is interested in T music. It has been our aim to make it readable and popular in the sense of being easily comprehended by those who do not possess a technical knowledge of music but who are interested in it as a cultural factor and an art. Our idea has been to include, in untechnical language, much informa tion for everyday use, much that the concert-goer wants to know and that is either not given or is hidden away in the volumes of histories and encyclopaedias which must cover the whole field of music. The Excursions are made into social or intellectual periods, such as the reigns of Louis XV, Frederick the Great, the period of the Reformation, American Music and so on, or into subjects which are constantly presenting themselves to our notice, such as Tonality, Sacred Folk Song, Sonata Form, and others, of which the historical development is traced; frequently the parallel development of the other arts is also indicated. The serious student and the musician may find in these Excur sions information which will add to their store of historical and theoretical knowledge, especially as it is here brought into relation to great intellectual and religious movements.

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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Music and History This palatial music building is extraordinary even among the many sumptuous edifices possessed by some of our great music schools and conservatories. But what distinguishes it more than the eminently thoughtful and practical arrangement of its space is the instruction imparted within its walls. For this is a depart ment in a liberal arts college and not a school or conservatory of music. Needless to say, I do not wish to imply that an academic department of music is, by its very nature, superior to a school of music; it stands to reason that art comes first and its Study and criticism follow. What I mean is that in this country as in England, whence our collegiate system comes we tend to confuse the functions of the two institutions, with the result that music in the college, which 1s an institution of higher education (and perhaps even of learning), is often not taught as one of the liberal arts but as a skill, only tenuously related to the other subjects of instruction and intellectual endeavor. This college can take pride in the fact that it is not so at Vassar, for its music department puts to shame the under graduate division of many a great university. One man is re sponsible for this enlightened attitude. He not only virtually designed this building, but planned the curriculum, organized the fine library, and himself took charge of the historical courses that became models of their kind. I am happy to pay tribute to George Dickinson in his own home. Everyone knows about his achievements at Vassar, but he has done much more: he has vitally inﬂuenced the cause of musical education and scholarship all over the land. Now, as I turn to the business in hand, I do so with the feeling that lectures of this sort would not be delivered in our colleges were it not for his long and patient Work and determination to make music instruction in the college worthy of the sister disciplines.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Studies in Musical History IN presenting this little book to the public, I am actuated by the belief that it treats of subjects and periods of musical history with which the general reader is far from familiar. The voluminous charac ter of Dr. Burney's and Sir John Hawkins' histories of music are well calculated to damp the zeal of the most ardent disciple of the tone art, nor does a chron ological presentation of lives and facts offer any con crete view of 'the subject. Some men there are, who through their vast power of individuality have left their impress indelibly graven upon the art, and these stand out like beacon lights along the path of history; but their names are few, and it is with periods and institutions that we have to deal. Upon him who, in the succession of the centuries, does not Observe the sequence of cause and effect, the lessons of history are wasted, and its example thrown away. Say not Lo here, or 10 there, but laying a firm grasp upon the salient points, by a synthetic process arrive at the inner comprehension of the whole.

They were intended to reach persons remote from centres of musical culture, those whose early education had been neglected, those who had become dis couraged by wrong methods of teaching, and those whose time and means for self-improve ment were limited. Others had popularized art and science, through familiar lectures, but, so far as I knew, no one had done the same work for music, bringing it down to the comprehension of the masses. The success of the series has far sur passed my most sanguine expectations. In the hope that the studies may live a life of renewed usefulness, I venture to present them to the pub lic, in a permanent shape.

This book was released on 2018-02-04 with total page 448 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The American History and Encyclopedia of Music The wants of students and teachers are best known by those who are closely identified and in daily contact with them. From this point of view and with rare sagacity, enter prise and liberality, the most eminent educators have been secured as contributors. They have given their most mature efiorts to their task, and the musical public is now offered the best, most useful and artistic Graded Teachers' Course in the world, the most complete summary of musical knowledge. These contributors present a galaxy of names that stand for the highest achievements in the firmament of American music. The chapter of Vocal Music is covered in the most practical manner by Frederic W. Root, whose positive Americanism is happily united with the results of observation abroad, and whose writings are ever lucid and to the point. Associated with him is Oscar Saenger, the wizard of vocal teachers, whose students are to-day the favorites at the great opera houses here and in Europe. Nothing more valuable than this master's treatment of his subject can be imagined. Har rison M. Wild, the brilliant organmaster, whose successful pupils count by the scores, and to whom the entire organ reper tory from Buxtehude to Reger is an open book, gives us here the epitome of his vast experience so clearly and tersely that every organ student will find his task easier, his work sys tematized. That erudite Frenchman, Dolmetsch, fitly called the archaeologist of music, who has conjured up a veritable renaissance of tempi passati, gives an entertaining chapter on the instruments of bygone days, their possibilities and literature.
