This book was released on 2017-11-27 with total page 360 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Evolution of the Art of Music The following outline of the Evolution of Musical Art was undertaken, at the invitation of Mr. Kegan Paul, somewhere about the year 1884. Its appearance was delayed by the constantly increasing mass of data and evidence about the music of savages, folk music, and mediaeval music; and by the necessity of exploring some of the Obscure and neglected corners of the wide-spread story of the Art. And though the subject was almost constantly under consideration, with a few inevitable interruptions, the book was not completed till 1893.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History of American Music This series of books brings together for the first time the materials for a history of American art. 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 The Art of Music, Vol. 4 of 14: A Comprehensive Library of Information for Music Lovers and Musicians Prophecy, not history, is the most truly important concern of music in America. What a new world, with new processes and new ideals, will do with the tract able and still unformed art of music; what will arise from the contact of this art with our unprecedented democracy - these are the questions of deepest import in our musical life in the United States. The past has consisted chiefly of a tasting of the musical art and traditions of the old world. The present is divided between imitation of the old and searching for the new, both in quality and application. The fruitage of our national musical life is still for the future. Intense as are the activities of the present, they are still merely the preparation of the soil for a future growth the nature and extent of which we can only guess at to-day. The stream of musical evolution in America, in the present transitional period, is rapidly overflowing its wonted banks, and passing the bounda ries of the traditional musical world. The many are striving to obtain that which has been the exclusive possession of the few, and in this endeavor are not only extending, but also actually transforming the art. The paramount issues change with the passing of the sea sons. One imported European sensation gives way to another. The problem of the true basis of American music dissolves overnight, and gives way to the prob. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Noble Art: Three Lectures on the Evolution and Construction of the Piano Piano-playing may be defined as the act of choos ing and exciting musical Vibrations in a piano.

We have learned what part anatomy, physiology, and mechanics contribute to those nice calculations which insure artis tic execution.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Evolution of Church Music IT is eminently appropriate that the story of the Evolution of Music should be written by a clergyman. A retrospect which reaches back no farther in the land from which we derive both our language and our literature than the third decade of the thirteenth century will discover that the first English school of music of which any trace has been discovered, was founded about that time by John of Porn sete, a monk attached to the famous monastery at Reading, in Berkshire. Its records still survive, and the curious scholar may find them in a manuscript bearing date 1226, which is known as the Reading ms., and which is among the treasures of the British Museum.

This book was released on 2017-12-14 with total page 366 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Analysis of the Evolution of Musical Form The general drift of this theory of music has already been indicated in The Rhythmic Conception of Music. The object of the present volume may be briefly stated to be the application of the evolutionary principle to practical music, the essential motive power of which is to be found in rhythm. By this means it is possible to produce an analysis which, as promised in the former volume, shall weld all the various parts of musical education into one consistent and logical whole. The theory has arisen not from abstract ideas, but out of the study of music. It is not so much a theory about music as an endeavour to translate into the terms of the intellect the form of the impressions made upon the musical imagination - in short, to hold the mirror up to Music. It is hoped that those who have themselves the intuitive knowledge will recognise the likeness. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A General History of Music That the latest Histories of Music, which have been presented to the public in the desultory form of Lectures, ' do not meet the requirements of thoughtful readers has been asserted before now; and we have only to glance at such ao counts of concert and operatic performances as are interspersed with historical notices and re marks to be assured that the sources of informa tion accessible to the public at large flow neither freely nor clearly. Whether, and in what degree, the present Work has attained the end desired, I am not qualified to form an opinion; I beg merely to offer this assurance to the reader, that I have steadfastly and carefully kept in view the progressive development of Art, and instead of crowding the pages of this little book with bio graphical anecdotes cheaply collected, or names and titles of books, have strictly excluded every thing superfluous.

Book Synopsis History of English Music (Classic Reprint) by : Henry Davey
Download or read book History of English Music (Classic Reprint) written by Henry Davey and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-12-21 with total page 526 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of English Music A Few words concerning the origin of this book are necessary. It was already begun during an illness in 1892, and arrangements were made for its publication. But upon further investigation, especially of the early MSS., I perceived that the wealth of most valuable material still unexamined was far greater than I had suspected; so great, in fact, as to modify my previous opinions concerning English music in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries. What I had previously written had largely to be rejected, and the whole plan of the work was altered; while three years' study has been necessary before I could let the book be printed. A variety of accidents unfortunately prevented a systematic comparison of every proof-sheet with the original sources of information, a test I had intended to apply; should any mistakes have arisen thereby, they will be duly published as they are discovered, and corrected in future editions. The main hindrance, in this and other respects, has, of course, been my living away from London and the other great repositories of MSS.; but I am able in consequence to have a clearer view of the condition of music in the whole country, of our defects and their causes, than I should probably have acquired had I been a London musician, when it would have been difficult or impossible for me to perceive the effects of centralisation upon our musical life. A minor but a very real hindrance has been the unsystematic indexing of many important publications. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

The tones of the diatonic scale which they seem to have known, but whose importance as basis of a musical system they did not appreciate, were divided into semi tones, and these in their turn into other semi tones, quarter-tones, and yet smaller divisions.
