This book was released on 2018-11-27 with total page 798 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Chronology of Music and Musicians Volume 2: 1700-1799 is the second of a projected eight volume set that sets out to provide a chronological history of musicians and music-making from the earliest times until the present day. The first volume, A Chronology of Music and Musicians Volume 1: From Prehistory to the 17th Century, was published in 2014. The books are arranged in a strict chronological rather than thematic sequence designed to give a picture of music history as it was unfolding. They include short biographies of all major composers and musicians as well as many others whose achievements are much less well known. They also include key events, publications and first performances. As well as charting the evolution of music as an art form through its practitioners, there is social and historical background, tales of tiffs and triumphs, prodigies and pariahs, masterpieces and murder. Assorted Bachs, Beethoven, Handel, Haydn, Mozart, Telemann and Vivaldi are just a few of the musicians and composers featured. Each year is prefaced by a short summary of world events and other major artristic achievements in the fields of art, drama and literature. Events then unfold on a month-by-month basis before concluding with a list of significant publications that appeared that year. This second volume covers the whole of the eighteenth century. The next two will focus on the nineteenth, and the final four the twentieth and twenty-first centuries.
Download or read book A Musical Chronology of The British Isles Volume 2 written by Dez Wright and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2022-06-09 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The eighteenth century may have been a period when the only truly world figures in British music - Handel and J. C. Bach - were Germans, but what is fascinating about the century is how the music industry became increasingly sophisticated. Career opportunities for musicians now existed outside the traditions of court and church. Patronage was still vital in other parts of Europe, and most composers were employed as court or church Kapellmeisters or, if they were lucky, had private support. The opportunities to make a living composing to commission and performing in concert simply didn't exist in Vienna or Paris. And it was in its infrastructure and opportunities that Britain led the world during the eighteenth century, even if its legacy on a purely musical level was a little thin. This chronology is the second part of the story of the music of these islands arranged strictly on a month-by-month, year-by-year basis. Each year is prefaced by a brief overview of historical events in the British Isles, followed by important contemporary events in music elsewhere, and finally a list of major works of art and literature that appeared here. There then follows a chronological account of musical events. Volume one covers the period up to the end of the seventeenth century, and a further five are planned which will take the story up to the twenty-first century.

Download or read book Strong on Music written by Vera Brodsky Lawrence and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 1995-12-18 with total page 892 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this second volume of Strong on Music, Vera Brodsky Lawrence carries into the 1850s her landmark account of the nineteenth-century New York music scene. Using music entries from George Templeton Strong's famous journals—most published here for the first time—as a point of departure, Lawrence provides a vivid portrait of a vibrant musical culture. Each chapter presents one year in the musical life of New York City, with Lawrence's extensive commentary enriched both by excerpts from Strong's diaries and a lavish selection of little-known music criticism and comment from the period. The reviews, written by an often truculent, sometimes venal tribe of music journalists, cover the entire world of music—from opera to barrel organ, salon to saloon. In this New York, operas performed by renowned artists are parodied by blackface minstrels; performances of the Philharmonic Society are drowned by the raucous chatter of flirtatious adolescents, who turn concerts into a noisy singles' hangout; and irate critics trash the first performances of Verdi operas, calling the plots indecent and the scores noisy and unmelodic. In this volatile atmosphere, a native musical culture is born; its whose first faltering efforts are dubiously received, and the first American composers begin to emerge.

Download or read book The Sweet Penance of Music written by Alejandro Vera and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2020-09-18 with total page 432 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A monumental study of musical practices in 18th century Santiago de Chile, and the only English-language monograph about Chilean colonial music, A Sweet Penance of Music offers a comprehensive view of musicians within the city and their links with other Latin American urban centers in the wider colonial system. Author Alejandro Vera, recent winner of the International Casa de las Américas Musicology Prize for the Spanish edition of his monograph, provides a fascinating account of the quotidian cultural and social significance of music in varying physical spheres - from cathedrals, convents, and monasteries, to private houses and public spaces. He brings to life a city long neglected in the shadow of other colonial centers of economic power, asserting the importance of duality in the period and its music - particularly centering one nun harpist's conception of music as "sweet penance." Drawing from historical documents and musical scores of the period, A Sweet Penance of Music breaks new ground, laying the foundation for a revisionist approach to the study of music in the colonial Americas.
