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 An American Requiem by : James Carroll
Download or read book An American Requiem written by James Carroll and published by HMH. This book was released on 1997-04-01 with total page 299 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: National Book Award winner: This story of a family torn apart by the Vietnam era is “a magnificent portrayal of two noble men who broke each other’s hearts” (Booklist). James Carroll grew up in a Catholic family that seemed blessed. His father, who had once dreamed of becoming a priest, instead began a career in J. Edgar Hoover’s FBI, rising through the ranks and eventually becoming one of the most powerful men in the Pentagon, the founder of the Defense Intelligence Agency. Young Jim lived a privileged life, dating the daughter of a vice president and meeting the pope—all in the shadow of nuclear war, waiting for the red telephone to ring in his parents’ house. James fulfilled the goal his father had abandoned, becoming a priest himself. His feelings toward his father leaned toward worship as well—until the tumult of the 1960s came between them. Their disagreements, over Martin Luther King, Jr. and the civil rights movement; turmoil in the Church; and finally, Vietnam—where the elder Carroll chose targets for US bombs—began to outweigh the bond between them. While one of James’s brothers fled to Canada, another was in law enforcement ferreting out draft dodgers. James, meanwhile, served as a chaplain at Boston University, protesting the war in the streets but ducking news cameras to avoid discovery. Their relationship would never be the same again. Only after Carroll left the priesthood to become a writer, and a husband with children of his own, did he begin to understand fully the struggles his father had faced. In An American Requiem, the New York Times bestselling author of Constantine’s Sword and Christ Actually offers a benediction, in “a moving memoir of the effect of the Vietnam War on his family that is at once personal and the story of a generation . . . at once heartbreaking and heroic, this is autobiography at its best” (Publishers Weekly).

Book Synopsis Brahms in the Home and the Concert Hall by : Katy Hamilton
Download or read book Brahms in the Home and the Concert Hall written by Katy Hamilton and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2014-09-11 with total page 425 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Johannes Brahms was a consummate professional musician, and a successful pianist, conductor, music director, editor and composer. Yet he also faithfully championed the world of private music-making, creating many works and arrangements for enjoyment in the home by amateurs. This collection explores Brahms' public and private musical identities from various angles: the original works he wrote with amateurs in mind; his approach to creating piano arrangements of not only his own, but also other composers' works; his relationships with his arrangers; the deeper symbolism and lasting legacy of private music-making in his day; and a hitherto unpublished memoir which evokes his Viennese social world. Using Brahms as their focus point, the contributors trace the overlapping worlds of public and private music-making in the nineteenth century, discussing the boundaries between the composer's professional identity and his lifelong engagement with amateur music-making.
Book Synopsis Brahms' Symphonies by : David Hurwitz
Download or read book Brahms' Symphonies written by David Hurwitz and published by Continuum. This book was released on 2009-03 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Brahms was a famously complex character: an irascible curmudgeon, and a famously learned composer who took tremendous pride in composing tuneful, expressive melodies of great popular appeal. This accounts at least in part for the enduring esteem that his symphonies enjoy among musicians, scholars, and the listening public alike. This duality between the learned and the popular sides of Brahms' musical personality has made his music as difficult to analyze and discuss as was his singularly complex and mysterious personal life. This book attempts to aid the general listener in bridging the gap between these two seemingly irreconcilable aspects of Brahms' character, aspects that are particularly in evidence, and balanced with particular poise, in his four symphonies. First, author David Hurwitz examines Brahms' place in the German symphonic tradition, his obsessive preoccupation with his place in the grand line of classical composers stretching back to Bach, and proceeding through Haydn, Mozart, Beethoven, and Schumann. Despite his ongoing struggle to master orchestral writing, Hurwitz argues that Brahms did achieve a unique symphonic style, one found nowhere else in his (or anyone else's) works in symphonic form. Finally, each symphony is described from two perspectives: in the most helpful musical context, and then also in movement by movement descriptions of Brahms' expressive argument. Finally, a list of recommended recordings concludes a discussion that shows today's music lovers that the riches contained in these perennially attractive works do not hide beneath the surface, but in fact lie liberally scattered in plain view, just waiting to be savored." --Back cover.
Book Synopsis Bach's Famous Choir by : Michael Maul
Download or read book Bach's Famous Choir written by Michael Maul and published by Boydell & Brewer. This book was released on 2018 with total page 465 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, the cantors of the St. Thomas School and Church in Leipzig could be counted among the most significant German composers of their times. But what attracted these artists - from Seth Calvisius to J.S. Bach to Johann Adam Hiller - to the music school and choir and inspired them to explore new repertoire of the highest standing? And how did the cantors influence the musical profile of the school - a profile that often became a bone of contention between school and city hall? The success of the St. Thomas School was not a foregone conclusion; its history is replete with challenges and setbacks as well as triumphs. The school was caught between the conflicting interests of enthusiastic mayors and townspeople, who wanted to showcase the city's musical culture, and opposing parties, including jealous rectors and elitist sponsors, who argued for the traditional subordination of the cantorate to the school system. Drawing on many new, recently discovered sources, Michael Maul explores the phenomenon of the St Thomas School. He shows how cantors, local luminaries and municipal politicians overcame the School's detractors to make it a remarkable success, with a world-famous choir. Illuminating the social and political history of the cantorate and the musical life of an important German city, the book will be of interest to scholars of Baroque music and J.S. Bach, cultural historians, choral directors, and musicologists and performers studying historical performance practice. MICHAEL MAUL is Senior Scholar at the Bach-Archiv Leipzig and lecturer in musicology at the universities of Leipzig/Halle. He is also the artistic director of the annual Leipzig Bach Festival.
