Book Synopsis The Story of Music and Musicians for Young Readers (Classic Reprint) by : Lucy Cecil Lillie
Download or read book The Story of Music and Musicians for Young Readers (Classic Reprint) written by Lucy Cecil Lillie and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-26 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Story of Music and Musicians for Young Readers The only necessity for a preface to this little book is to explain that the work is not designed to take the place of text-books, works on harmony or thorough-bass, or those interesting lives of the great musicians which competent writers have given to us. Its object is only to interest young students in music in the technique of their art, and in the associations amid which great masters have worked. Only such rules of harmony are given as have a direct bearing upon the subject or composition under discussion, and these I have presented, after comparing them with standard authorities, in as simple a fashion as possible, relying upon any reader who is a thoughtful student progressing to technical study under a scientific instructor. Meanwhile some impetus and enthusiasm may be added, from reading this simple story of an art which all nations are in some fashion developing to-day, and which had its origin in an age that gave a significance to the victor crown of bay-leaves and laurel.

Download or read book The Story of Music written by Paul Bekker and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-22 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Story of Music: An Historical Sketch of the Changes in Musical Form I freely confess that I have chosen the second course, not from any lack of modesty, but because I believe that the presentation of history is a matter less of knowledge than of point of view. For this reason the invitation of the Radio Corporation attracted me particularly, as it gave me the opportunity of testing the soundness of the ideas developed in my book on Wagner and my pamphlet on The Nature of Tone in the larger field of music history as a whole. These lectures, which were given under the title of The History of Change in Music, are here presented in book form. While the title has been changed, the lec ture form has been retained because it gives the original layout of the material.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. 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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Story of the Art of Music Music has been styled the youngest, but greatest of the Arts. My experience tells me that it is the oldest and grandest of all arts. To tell the story then, in one small volume, of a subject which dates from Creation, is no easy matter, it would seem. My plan has been to be as concise as possible to keep the running note of theoretical and in strumental progress and development before the reader; also to be non-technical where plain language would answer. Mention has been made only of composers and matters, who and which have actually moved the art onwards; and, inasmuch as one topic alone of the subject - say Form or Orchestration, could not possibly be adequately treated in the space allotted for my entire story, I must be pardoned if I have seemed to slip away from important points. The difficulty has been to get away. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Synopsis The Story of Musical Form (Classic Reprint) by : Clarence Lucas
Download or read book The Story of Musical Form (Classic Reprint) written by Clarence Lucas and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-03-08 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Story of Musical Form This book is not a text-book. It is intended for any cultured reader who takes an interest in good music. At the same time I must add that a work of this nature would have been of great help to me when I was a young student of music. Text-books contain such a mass of detail that it is next to impossible for the beginner to get any conception whatsoever of the general principles of the art of composition. He plods up the rocky slopes of Parnassus, catching at every ledge, bruised with falls, foot-sore and weary, to be rewarded with a vision of the antres vast and deserts idle only when he has scaled the heights and reached the top. These pages give a brief description of the paths that lead to this desirable summit; but do not imagine, casual reader, that the perusal of this book will make you a composer. At best, it is but a captive balloon from which you can snatch a bird's eye view of the panorama nearest you. The wings of the eagle alone can soar into the blue.

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.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History of Music, Vol. 1 An attack was made thirty years ago on the assertion that Handel was not only a sacred composer, but was especially the founder of the epic element in music. It is, therefore, very satisfactory to observe the extent to which the truth of that assertion is now generally admitted this can also be said of the admission of the proof that the invention of the Opera at Florence was due to a Tuscan school.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Short History of Music We have as relates to the ancient music of India only much about theory, but this is suf cient to give us an idea of the immense com plication of their musical system. 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.
