Download or read book The meaning of music written by Leo Samama and published by Amsterdam University Press. This book was released on 2016-01-06 with total page 243 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For virtually all of our lives, we are surrounded by music. From lullabies to radio to the praises sung in houses of worship, we encounter music at home and in the street, during work and in our leisure time, and not infrequently at birth and death. But what is music, and what does it mean to humans? How do we process it, and how do we create it? Musician Leo Samama discusses these and many other questions while shaping a vibrant picture of music's importance in human lives both past and present. What is remarkable is that music is recognised almost universally as a type of language that we can use to wordlessly communicate. We can hardly shut ourselves off from music, and considering its primal role in our lives, it comes as no surprise that few would ever want to. Able to transverse borders and appeal to the most disparate of individuals, music is both a tool and a gift, and as Samama shows, a unifying thread running throughout the cultural history of mankind.

Download or read book Neo Latin Drama in Early Modern Europe written by Jan Bloemendal and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2013-09-19 with total page 808 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From ca. 1300 a new genre developed in European literature, Neo-Latin drama. Building on medieval drama, vernacular theatre and classical drama, it spread around Europe. It was often used as a means to educate young boys in Latin, in acting and in moral issues. Comedies, tragedies and mixed forms were written. The Societas Jesu employed Latin drama in their education and public relations on a large scale. They had borrowed the concept of this drama from the humanist and Protestant gymnasia, and perfected it to a multi media show. However, the genre does not receive the attention that it deserves. In this volume, a historical overview of this genre is given, as well as analyses of separate plays. Contributors include: Jan Bloemendal, Jean-Frédéric Chevalier, Cora Dietl, Mathieu Ferrand, Howard Norland, Joaquín Pascual Barea, Fidel Rädle, and Raija Sarasti Willenius.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Addresses and Lectures It is a notable characteristic of this Academy that the several teachers who favour us with their assist ance have free scope for the exercise of their powers - untrammelled by a system, unlimited hy'the views of others. Truth is a many-sided statue; it is to be seen from all aspects, and each person whose duty it is to explain it must give that explanation from his own point of vision. This one may tell us that the shield is gold, that one that it is silver: we compare the evidence of both, and learn that there are two sides to the shield, which bears various colours. Thus an admirable advantage to a Student in this School is that, while each has the privilege of the advice and instruction of the particular Professor to whom his talents are confided, each gathers something of the perception and insight of the whole Academic staff. It is most notable that a large part of your instruc tion, my dear young friends, is communicated by and among yourselves. This one has been told by his Professor from such an aspect, that one from such another. You compare their views, you enlarge upon your perception of those very views, and you come by this means to a comprehension of the many-sided truth.
