Book Synopsis Uniting Music and Poetry in Twentieth-Century Spain by : Nelson R. Orringer
Download or read book Uniting Music and Poetry in Twentieth-Century Spain written by Nelson R. Orringer and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2021-04-15 with total page 275 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Uniting Music and Poetry in Twentieth-Century Spain, Nelson R. Orringer uses both literary and musical analysis to study sung poems in twentieth-century Spain. In nine chapters, each focusing on an individual sung poem, song cycle, or various poems set by the same composer, Orringer enriches and deepens interpretations of the art-songs by comparing the poet's vision to the composer's. In examining composers such as Falla, Turina, Mompou, Toldrà, Rodrigo, Montsalvatge, and Rodolfo Halffter, Orringer shows that Spanish art-song is an exceptional product of Spain’s Silver Age and reveals a new way to understand and appreciate poems set to music in twentieth-century Spain.

Book Synopsis The Figure of Music in Nineteenth-Century British Poetry by : Phyllis Weliver
Download or read book The Figure of Music in Nineteenth-Century British Poetry written by Phyllis Weliver and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-07-05 with total page 311 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How was music depicted in and mediated through Romantic and Victorian poetry? This is the central question that this specially commissioned volume of essays sets out to explore in order to understand better music's place and its significance in nineteenth-century British culture. Analysing how music took part in and commented on a wide range of scientific, literary, and cultural discourses, the book expands our knowledge of how music was central to the nineteenth-century imagination. Like its companion volume, The Idea of Music in Victorian Fiction (Ashgate, 2004) edited by Sophie Fuller and Nicky Losseff, this book provides a meeting place for literary studies and musicology, with contributions by scholars situated in each field. Areas investigated in these essays include the Romantic interest in national musical traditions; the figure of the Eolian harp in the poetry of Coleridge and Shelley; the recurring theme of music in Blake's verse; settings of Tennyson by Parry and Elgar that demonstrate how literary representations of musical ideas are refigured in music; George Eliot's use of music in her poetry to explore literary and philosophical themes; music in the verse of Christina and Dante Gabriel Rossetti; the personification of lyric (Sappho) in a song cycle by Granville and Helen Bantock; and music and sexual identity in the poetry of Wilde, Symons, Michael Field, Beardsley, Gray and Davidson.
Book Synopsis Poetry in English and Metal Music by : Arturo Mora-Rioja
Download or read book Poetry in English and Metal Music written by Arturo Mora-Rioja and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2023-05-05 with total page 333 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many metal songs incorporate poetry into their lyrics using a broad array of techniques, both textual and musical. This book develops a novel adaptation, appropriation, and quotation taxonomy that both expands our knowledge of how poetry is used in metal music and is useful for scholars across adaptation studies broadly. The text follows both a quantitative and a qualitative approach. It identifies 384 metal songs by 224 bands with intertextual ties to 146 poems written by fifty-one different poets, with a special focus on Edgar Allan Poe, John Milton's Paradise Lost and the work of WWI's War Poets. This analysis of transformational mechanisms allows poetry to find an afterlife in the form of metal songs and sheds light on both the adaptation and appropriation process and on the semantic shifts occasioned by the recontextualisation of the poems into the metal music culture. Some musicians reuse – and sometimes amplify – old verses related to politics and religion in our present times; others engage in criticism or simple contradiction. In some cases, the bands turn the abstract feelings evoked by the poems into concrete personal experiences. The most adventurous recraft the original verses by changing the point of view of either the poetic voice or the addressed actors, altering the vocaliser of the narrative or the gender of the protagonists. These mechanisms help metal musicians make the poems their own and adjust them to their artistic needs so that the resulting product is consistent with the expectations of the metal music culture.

Book excerpt: There is a place where love walks hand in hand with poetry and melodies of song. It is a sunlit stretch of golden sand where only gentle hearts in love belong ... Adonna Marie Gipe Adonna Marie Gipe is a passionate poet whose writings reflect her love of God, nature, family and friends, the creative life, and the electrifying joy of loving others. In this varied collection of love poems, Gipe employs traditional styles, such as sonnets, blank and free verse, rondeaus, villanelles, and other forms, to share poetry that marries love and heartache with nature and faith. Rich in metaphor and simile, her words beam like sunlight through the trees, the crackling fire of laughter warms a soul, a heart wounded by lifes pain overflows with loves warm touch, and a precious gift from God is wrapped up and sent from heaven.. Hopefully, this collection will inspire others to both accept and give love in a world that needs it more now than ever. *Songs Before Dawn, by Adonna Gipe, is perhaps one of the most aesthetically pleasing poetry books I have read in decades. The poetry within this book blends a unique tapestry of poems of faith, love, contemplation, natural beauty and more. The poet skillfully blends deeply meaningful and beautiful phrasing to convey her thoughts. By this I once again refer to aesthetically pleasing poetry. Importantly, her poetry allows the reader to insert him-herself into the read, thus becoming part of the poem itself. Whether its an English sonnet, quatrains, blank verse, etc., each poem within this book is stellar and leaves the reader sated, yet yearning for more of her verse. Without a doubt, Ms. Gipes ability to create word art in the form of poetry is second to none. Ray Griffin, teacher, poet, writer. Reflecting the heart of a true poet, Adonna Gipe has a masterful ability to weave words and phrases into beautiful, emotionally connected fabrics Garrett Cooper, former CEO of Ambassador Enterprises and Taylor University faculty member
Book Synopsis FemPoetiks of American Poetry and Americana Music by : Linda Nicole Blair
Download or read book FemPoetiks of American Poetry and Americana Music written by Linda Nicole Blair and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2021-06-10 with total page 297 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the poems of Anne Bradstreet, Phillis Wheatley, and Emily Dickinson emerges what the author calls FemPoetiks, a discourse of female empowerment. Situating the work of these poets in their historical eras, Linda Nicole Blair considers a sampling of their poems side-by-side with a number of song lyrics by singer-songwriters Brandi Carlile, Rhiannon Giddens, and Lucinda Williams, having found commonalities of theme, motif, and language between them. Blair argues that while FemPoetiks has continued to develop in various ways in American poetry by women, the fact that this discourse finds expression in songs by Americana female artists indicates a matrilineal line of influence from the 1630s to today. In order to show the omnipresence of this powerful feminist discourse, she closes this book with eleven interviews she conducted with female singer-songwriters from around the United States. The phenomenon of FemPoetiks is not limited to the arts but extends into all areas of American life, from the domestic to the political. FemPoetiks is a woman’s truth.
Book Synopsis Soul Bleeds The Poetry, Melodies, and Other Wanderings of Karen Wiesner by : Karen Wiesner
Download or read book Soul Bleeds The Poetry, Melodies, and Other Wanderings of Karen Wiesner written by Karen Wiesner and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2012-09-05 with total page 80 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Every poem ever written shows us the eyes of the poet. Looking without. As love mirrors the heart, poetry mirrors personality. Many poets write about things outside of themselves. This mirrors their personal character and the way they look at the world. Looking within. Other poets take the outside world into themselves and use the intimate emotions to reveal their own hearts. Just looking. Then there are poets like me, who do a little of both...or a lot of neither. If you're looking for flowery observations on nature, rhyming pieces with any type of standard or pattern, seemingly meaningless verses that you have to know the ""code"" to understand, you won't find it here. The 39 poems included a combination of honesty, raw emotion, vivid imagery, gritty reality, story metaphors, introspection, depression, and even ""song-like"" verses. Great poetry is something I can relate to, that moves me, that takes the human condition and makes it both frail and somehow beautiful in its starkness.

Book Synopsis Still Songs: Music In and Around the Poetry of Paul Celan by : Axel Englund
Download or read book Still Songs: Music In and Around the Poetry of Paul Celan written by Axel Englund and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-04-01 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What does it mean for poetry and music to turn to each other, in the shadow of the Holocaust, as a means of aesthetic self-reflection? How can their mutual mirroring, of such paramount importance to German Romanticism, be reconfigured to retain its validity after the Second World War? These are the core questions of Axel Englund's book, which is the first to address the topic of Paul Celan and music. Celan, a Jewish Holocaust survivor who has long been recognized as one of the most important poets of the German language, persistently evoked music and song in his oeuvre, from the juvenilia to the posthumous collections. Conversely, few post-war writers have inspired as large a body of contemporary music, including works by Harrison Birtwistle, György Kurtág, Wolfgang Rihm, Peter Ruzicka and many others. Through rich close readings of poems and musical compositions, Englund's book engages the artistic media in a critical dialogue about the conditions of their existence. In so doing, it reveals their intersection as a site of profound conflict, where the very possibility of musical and poetic meaning is at stake, and confrontations of aesthetic transcendentality and historical remembrance are played out in the wake of twentieth-century trauma.
Book Synopsis How to Live on Bread and Music by : Jennifer Kochanek Sweeney
Download or read book How to Live on Bread and Music written by Jennifer Kochanek Sweeney and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 106 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Beloved in classrooms, these poems broadly explore themes such as identity formation, nostalgia, and impermanence, passing through risk to find refuge in the sensory world. Life-affirming but without illusions, HOW TO LIVE ON BREAD AND MUSIC showcases poet Jennifer K. Sweeney's mature consciousness and circumspect intelligence. This collection takes us on a physical and spiritual trip, symbolized in recurring images of the train. Exploring broad themes such as identity formation, nostalgia, and impermanence, the poet passes through risk to find refuge in the sensory world. What is most remarkable is Sweeney's ability to confide without burdening, her talent for arranging enough silence between words for us to locate the pulse of meaning. "Jennifer K. Sweeney's HOW TO LIVE ON BREAD AND MUSIC is a remarkable achievement from the hand of a poet with a subtle and compassionate mindfulness. These are poems that tell us we move forward in moments when motion seems all too risky and stillness all too intolerable. Adept at the delicate project of inventiveness in the line, she shows us time and again that language is the matter of the poet and that there is surprise in the gift, as this book is sure evidence of the gift." --Afaa Michael Weaver, James Laughlin Award judge "Each of Jennifer K. Sweeney's poems is part of her quest to be fully alive to the beauty, terror, and wonder of living. Oh life with your falling open, / April is eating itself alive / and I can hear the splitting of the dahlias / when I sleep. Rich in sound patterns, imagery, and metaphor, and packed with surprise, these poems take special joy in wild and juicy words: for example, 'lyrate,' 'paldrons,' 'guillotine/ of wind' 'the sloop and slag of childhood,' 'deckled,' and 'lantern-hearted.' Enter Sweeney's world, and perhaps you too will become lantern-hearted." --Annie Boutelle "In Jennifer K. Sweeney's HOW TO LIVE ON BREAD AND MUSIC we discover words that weigh the earth carefully and sing it into existence for this poet knows 'song is the yeast / when the body wants.' Her poetry is 'pained with sensation' and has the power to transform the reader, to resurrect dandelions from a field of armor." --Mark Irwin "Jennifer K. Sweeney's second collection of poems is generous and sympathetic, melodic and transforming. Her playful yet incisive language, rich in imagery and metaphor, serves the larger purpose of helping us see our relationship to each other and the natural world with fresh eyes." --Apalachee Review "HOW TO LIVE ON BREAD AND MUSIC is not only a volume of great range and depth, but is full of sonorous, deeply felt poems that evoke Marianne Moore's famous adage that our best verse strive to create 'a place for the genuine.'" --Emprise Review Poetry. Women's Studies.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many of the poems included here are short and uplifting, with messages such as “be yourself,” “you are beautiful,” and “this too shall pass.” They combine the appeal of short, shareable poems with inspiration and encouragement.
