Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In his previous books about singers, John Steane has taken for his subject the art of singing as heard on records (The Grand Tradition) and 'in the flesh' in opera houses and concert halls (Voices, Singers and Critics). Here, in Singers of the Century, he turns to the singers themselves, seeing how their art develops with the opportunities of their professional lives, with chance and design playing their part and all likely to be at the mercy of some quirk of taste or character. Each study is a carefully worked vignette, and the book is illustrated throughout with photographs and memorabilia, many never before published. Singers of the Century will appeal to all those with a love of singing and of music writing at its best.

Book Synopsis Annunciations: Sacred Music for the Twenty-First Century by : George Corbett
Download or read book Annunciations: Sacred Music for the Twenty-First Century written by George Corbett and published by Open Book Publishers. This book was released on 2019-05-01 with total page 339 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Our contemporary culture is communicating ever-increasingly through the visual, through film, and through music. This makes it ever more urgent for theologians to explore the resources of art for enriching our understanding and experience of the Judeo-Christian tradition. Annunciations: Sacred Music for the twenty-First Century, edited by George Corbett, answers this need, evaluating the relationship between the sacred and the composition, performance, and appreciation of music. Through the theme of ‘annunciations’, this volume interrogates how, when, why, through and to whom God communicates in the Old and New Testaments. In doing so, it tackles the intimate relationship between Scriptural reflection and musical practice in the past, its present condition, and what the future might hold. Annunciations comprises three parts. Part I sets out flexible theological and compositional frameworks for a constructive relationship between the sacred and music. Part II presents the reflections of theologians and composers involved in collaborating on new pieces of sacred choral music, alongside the six new scores and links to the recordings. Part III considers the reality of programming and performing sacred works today. This volume provides an indispensable resource for scholars and artists working at the interface between theology and the arts, and for those involved in sacred music. However, it will also be of interest to anyone concerned with the ways in which the Divine communicates through word and artistry to humanity.

Book Synopsis When The World Was Whole: Three Centuries of Memories by : Charles Fenyvesi
Download or read book When The World Was Whole: Three Centuries of Memories written by Charles Fenyvesi and published by Plunkett Lake Press. This book was released on 2019-08-16 with total page 179 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this family memoir, Charles Fenyvesi brings back to life his ancestors who loved and improved the poor soil they tilled in northeastern Hungary, kept the countless rules of their Jewish faith, and trusted Providence. Unlike their co-religionists who wandered about, always on the lookout for better opportunities elsewhere, they stayed in the same small village far from cities and main highways — and bound for the family cemetery whose hoary age remains a secret known only to family members. They lived at peace with their neighbors — Greek Catholic, Roman Catholic, and Calvinist — and joined their passionate struggle for independence from the Austrian Empire, then a great power on the European continent. Fenyvesi collected their stories, part verified history and part misty legend, about their travels searching for beautiful brides and running into wise rabbis who dispensed blessings. Nothing is accidental in their world of secret symmetries and unexpected re-enactments. “… in his exceptional family memoir, [Fenyvesi] produce[d] a family and social history that is both enchanting and devastating… Each chapter of the book has its own special charm, but those dealing with his grandparents are especially lovely and loving… As Mr. Fenyvesi writes, 'We can still recapture bits and pieces from a world that was once whole, in which lives were aligned in secret symmetries, one good deed invoked another, and a gift from heaven passed from one generation to the next. Telling stories about such a world helps restore it.' He is so right, and he has done his job so well.” — Jeff Kisseloff, New York Times “Drawing on the records and recollections of his relatives, Charles Fenyvesi chronicles his Hungarian family's rise under the Hapsburgs, its fall in World War I and its near extinction under the Nazis. He has written 'a family and social history that is both enchanting and devastating,' Jeff Kisseloff said here last year.” — New York Times “A historical, anecdotal, sentimental, and rather charming romp through the author's ancestral Hungarian homeland… After an exercise in family history, lore, and genealogy, Fenyvesi often transcends the particulars to present a nostalgic picture of the neatly fenced fields of a once 'whole' world.” — Kirkus Reviews “… I was prepared to enjoy When the World Was Whole from the moment that I glanced at the author's photograph on the dust jacket. His sly smile, the gleam in his eyes, and even the lines on his careworn face hold out the promise of worldly-wise good humor and tales well told. And when I read Charles Fenyvesi's marvelous stories of Jewish life in Hungary in bygone times, I discovered that my intuition was wholly correct… in Fenyvesi's hands, the memories turn out to be a rich legacy… Fenyvesi's book … is an unabashed (and unashamedly sentimental) celebration of a world of grace and beauty, a world of order and balance. Each vivid character in Fenyvesi's stories somehow ennobles and enriches the lives of others… Fenyvesi's rich prose is redolent of worked earth” — Los Angeles Times “[Fenyvesi] presents a synchronic vision of a profoundly joyous metaphysic, of interest and value to any reader, Jewish, Christian, Muslim or atheist. The myths and stories Fenyvesi preserves with such powerful yet humble language — the language, indeed, of prayer and myth — are profoundly Jewish. And yet, despite the destruction and horror of this century, these lives speak of a triumphant Judaism, a listening, forgiving and optimistic Judaism, which will find a way to its future through its past: a Judaism from which we all have much to learn.” — Claire Messud, Literary Review

Book Synopsis Mapping Canada’s Music by : Helmut Kallmann
Download or read book Mapping Canada’s Music written by Helmut Kallmann and published by Wilfrid Laurier Univ. Press. This book was released on 2013-05-25 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mapping Canada’s Music is a selection of writings by the late Canadian music librarian and historian Helmut Kallmann (1922–2012). Most of the essays deal with aspects of Canadian music, but some are also autobiographical, including one written during retirement in which Kallmann recalls growing up in a middle-class Jewish family in 1930s Berlin under the spectre of Nazism. Of the seventeen selected writings by Kallmann, five have never before been published; many of the others are from difficult-to-locate sources. They include critical and research essays, reports, reflections, and memoirs. Each chapter is prefaced with an introduction by the editors. Two initial chapters offer a biography of Kallmann and an assessment of his contributions to Canadian music. The variety, breadth, and scope of these writings confirm Kallmann’s pioneering role in Canadian music research and the importance of his legacy to the cultural life of his adopted country. In the current climate of cuts to archival collections and services, the publication of these essays by and about a pre-eminent collector and historian serves as a timely reminder of the importance of cultural memory.

Book Synopsis A Guide to Piano Music by Women Composers by : Pamela Y. Dees

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Designed as a practical reference guide for professional pianists and piano teachers, A Guide to Piano Music by Women Composers, Volume I, is an annotated catalogue of the available piano music in print composed by 144 women born before the 20th century. The work also features biographies and extensive bibliographical information for each composer. Arranged alphabetically by composer into categories including single works, collections, and anthologies, the music is also described in terms of grade level, genre, mood, style characteristics, and technical requirements, and ranges in difficulty from late elementary to virtuoso concert repertoire.

This reference work provides an invaluable addition to the current literature.
Book Synopsis Anthology of Musical Forms - Structure & Style (Expanded Edition) by : Leon Stein
Download or read book Anthology of Musical Forms - Structure & Style (Expanded Edition) written by Leon Stein and published by Alfred Music. This book was released on 1999-11-27 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Structure and Style, first published in 1962 and expanded in 1979, fills the need for new ways of analysis that put 20th-century music in perspective. It spans forms in use before 1600 through forms and techniques in use today. Anthology of Musical Forms provides musical examples of forms treated in Structure and Style. Some examples are analyzed throughout. Most are left for the student to analyze. These books reflect Leon Stein's impressive background as student, musician, and composer. Stein studied composition with Leo Sowerby, Frederick Stock (conductor of the Chicago Symphony) and orchestration with Eric DeLamarter, his assistant. He earned M. Mus and Ph.D degrees at DePaul University and was associated with its School of Music as director of the Graduate Division and chairman of the Department of Theory and Composition until his retirement in 1976. He has composed a wide variety of works, including compositions for orchestra, chamber combinations, two operas, and a violin concerto.

Book Synopsis What Kind of a Thing Is a Middle English Lyric? by : Cristina Maria Cervone
Download or read book What Kind of a Thing Is a Middle English Lyric? written by Cristina Maria Cervone and published by University of Pennsylvania Press. This book was released on 2022-08-30 with total page 561 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What Kind of a Thing Is a Middle English Lyric? considers issues pertaining to a corpus of several hundred short poems written in Middle English between the twelfth and early fifteenth centuries. The chapters draw on perspectives from varied disciplines, including literary criticism, musicology, art history, and cognitive science. Since the early 1900s, the poems have been categorized as “lyrics,” the term now used for most kinds of short poetry, yet neither the difficulties nor the promise of this treatment have received enough attention. In one way, the book argues, considering these poems to be lyrics obscures much of what is interesting about them. Since the nineteenth century, lyrics have been thought of as subjective and best read without reference to cultural context, yet nonetheless they are taken to form a distinct literary tradition. Since Middle English short poems are often communal and usually spoken, sung, and/or danced, this lyric template is not a good fit. In another way, however, the very differences between these poems and the later ones on which current debates about the lyric still focus suggest they have much to offer those debates, and vice versa. As its title suggests, this book thus goes back to the basics, asking fundamental questions about what these poems are, how they function formally and culturally, how they are (and are not) related to other bodies of short poetry, and how they might illuminate and be illuminated by contemporary lyric scholarship. Eleven chapters by medievalists and two responses by modernists, all in careful conversation with one another, reflect on these questions and suggest very different answers. The editors’ introduction synthesizes these answers by suggesting that these poems can most usefully be read as a kind of “play,” in several senses of that word. The book ends with eight “new Middle English lyrics” by seven contemporary poets.
