Book Synopsis The Italian Opera Singers in Mozart's Vienna by : Dorothea Link
Download or read book The Italian Opera Singers in Mozart's Vienna written by Dorothea Link and published by University of Illinois Press. This book was released on 2022-11-22 with total page 459 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dorothea Link examines singers’ voices and casting practices in late eighteenth-century Italian opera as exemplified in Vienna’s court opera from 1783 to 1791. The investigation into the singers’ voices proceeds on two levels: understanding the performers in terms of the vocal-dramatic categories employed in opera at the time; and creating vocal profiles for the principal singers from the music composed expressly for them. In addition, Link contextualizes the singers within the company in order to expose the court opera's casting practices. Authoritative and insightful, The Italian Opera Singers in Mozart's Vienna offers a singular look at a musical milieu and a key to addressing the performance-practice problem of how to cast the Mozart roles today.

Book Synopsis Composers and their Songs, 1400–1521 by : David Fallows
Download or read book Composers and their Songs, 1400–1521 written by David Fallows and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-05-31 with total page 358 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This second selection of essays by David Fallows draws the focus towards individual composers of the 'long' fifteenth century and what we can learn about their songs. In twenty-one essays on the secular works of composers from Ciconia and Oswald von Wolkenstein via Binchois, Ockeghem, Busnoys and Regis to Josquin, Henry VIII and Petrus Alamire, one repeated theme is how a consideration of the songs can help the way to a broader understanding of a composer's output. Since there are more song sources and more individual pieces now available for study, there are more handles for dating, for geographical location and for social alignment. Another theme concerns the various different ways in which particular songs have their impact on the next generations. Yet another concerns the authorshop of poems that were set to music by Binchois and Ciconia in particular. A group of essays on Josquin were parerga to the author's edition of his four-voice secular music for the New Josquin Edition (2005) and to his monograph on the composer (2009).

Book Synopsis Multimodal Signals: Cognitive and Algorithmic Issues by : Anna Esposito
Download or read book Multimodal Signals: Cognitive and Algorithmic Issues written by Anna Esposito and published by Springer. This book was released on 2009-02-17 with total page 362 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-conference proceedings of the COST Action 2102 and euCognition supported international school on Multimodal Signals: 'Cognitive and Algorithmic Issues' held in Vietri sul Mare, Italy, in April 2008. The 34 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from participants’ contributions and invited lectures given at the workshop. The volume is organized in two parts; the first on Interactive and Unsupervised Multimodal Systems contains 14 papers. The papers deal with the theoretical and computational issue of defining algorithms, programming languages, and determinist models to recognize and synthesize multimodal signals. These are facial and vocal expressions of emotions, tones of voice, gestures, eye contact, spatial arrangements, patterns of touch, expressive movements, writing patterns, and cultural differences, in anticipation of the implementation of intelligent avatars and interactive dialogue systems that could be exploited to improve user access to future telecommunication services. The second part of the volume, on Verbal and Nonverbal Communication Signals, presents 20 original studies devoted to the modeling of timing synchronisation between speech production, gestures, facial and head movements in human communicative expressions and on their mutual contribution for an effective communication.

Book excerpt: Covering over 1500 singers from the birth of opera to the present day, this marvelous volume will be an essential resource for all serious opera lovers and an indispensable companion to the enormously successful Grove Book of Operas. The most comprehensive guide to opera singers ever produced, this volume offers an alphabetically arranged collection of authoritative biographies that range from Marion Anderson (the first African American to perform at the Met) to Benedict Zak (the classical tenor and close friend and colleague of Mozart). Readers will find fascinating articles on such opera stars as Maria Callas and Enrico Caruso, Ezio Pinza and Fyodor Chaliapin, Lotte Lehmann and Jenny Lind, Lily Pons and Luciano Pavarotti. The profiles offer basic information such as birth date, vocal style, first debut, most memorable roles, and much more. But these articles often go well beyond basic biographical information to offer colorful portraits of the singer's personality and vocal style, plus astute evaluations of their place in operatic history and many other intriguing observations. Many entries also include suggestions for further reading, so that anyone interested in a particular performer can explore their life and career in more depth. In addition, there are indexes of singers by voice type and by opera role premiers. The articles are mostly drawn from the acclaimed Grove Music Online and have been fully revised, and the book is further supplemented by more than 40 specially commissioned articles on contemporary singers. A superb new guide from the first name in opera reference, The Grove Book of Opera Singers is a lively and authoritative work, beautifully illustrated with color and black-and-white pictures. It is an essential volume--and the perfect gift--for opera lovers everywhere.
Book Synopsis The Voice of Turtle Ann by : George Harmon Smith
Download or read book The Voice of Turtle Ann written by George Harmon Smith and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2001 with total page 129 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This fast paced novel begins at the Potter Inn on the Wire Road. It is a dangerous time, not only for fifteen year-old Jethro Potter but for his sixteen year old sister Vienna, the reconstruction era following the Civil War. It was a time when outlaws roamed the land, a time when the Blacks began realizing they were free, a time when the Ku Klux Klan was organized, grew larger and larger, and harassed both the blacks and whites if they gambled, or resorted to stealing, and that time thousands of people were making ready to pour into the Oklahoma Territory. Jethro's life is disrupted when the Silmon gangsters kill their parents, and hang Jim Lucky, their hired Black man, and outlaws steal all of the Potter horses, $500 in gold, kidnapp Vienna and Jethro, and set out for their hide-out in the Oklahoma Territory. Turtle Ann trails the outlaws all the way to Camden Town in Arkansas, enabling the Black Militia to follow them. The militia overtakes the outlaw band near Camden, and during the pitched battle, Jethro escapes, and walks in to Camden Town. He uses his father's good name and borrows enough money to hire a posse to go after the outlaws, and in a furious chase, the posse catches up with the outlaws in the Oklahoma Territory.
Book Synopsis Writing the Voice of Pleasure by : A. Callahan
Download or read book Writing the Voice of Pleasure written by A. Callahan and published by Springer. This book was released on 2001-11-09 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Voice of Pleasure makes a persuasive and fascinating argument that the romantic couple of Western representation is not heterosexual. Nor is it homosexual. With insightful new readings of landmarks of Western culture from Tristan and Yseut to Seinfeld , Callahan demonstrates that the illusion of heterosexuality is created by a male artist's assumption of a feminine voice to express desire. Named the 'troubadour effect' for the first time here, this tradition of male femininity in romantic writing results in a cultural model of desire best described as 'heterosexuality without women.' The most compelling aspect of the book is its attention to the effect of this paradox on women writers. Illuminating her argument with striking examples from the 'troubairitz' to Toni Morrison, the author shows how women writers inscribe their 'vagabondage,' a term she coins to name the consequences of the 'troubadour effect' for women's agency, as both writers and lovers.
