This desire apparently stems from a deeply rooted human instinct. Consequently, choral performance historically has often been related to human rituals and ceremonies, especially rites of a religious nature.

Download or read book Choral Music in Nineteenth century America written by N. Lee Orr and published by Scarecrow Press. This book was released on 1999 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Choral music represented an important part of American cultural life during the nineteenth century, whether integral to worship or merely for entertainment. Despite this history, choral music remains one of the more neglected studies in the scholarly community. In an effort to fill this gap, N. Lee Orr and W. Dan Hardin offer a new approach to the study of choral music by mapping out and bringing bibliographical control to this expansive and challenging field of study. Their unique guide focuses on literature related to choral music in the United States from the end of the second decade of the nineteenth century through the earlier part of the twentieth century. Choral Music in Nineteenth-Century America explores the entire range of choral music conceived, written, published, rehearsed, and performed by an ensemble of singers gathered specifically to present the music before an audience or congregation. The guide expertly sifts through the extensive literature to cite the most notable sources for study and provides individual chapters on the leading nineteenth-century composers who were instrumental in the development of choral music.

This book was released on 2016-12-27 with total page 106 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the INTRODUCTION. IT is not the purpose of this little book to give a complete history of the singing societies of New York City. That would be an unprofitable if not an impossible task. I had designed, originally, to write only a sketch of the Society which now represents our highest attainment in choral culture. Knowing, however, that an institution like the Oratorio Society could only be the outcome of many experiments in the past, and that its peculiar features and the cause of its present success could only be understood and valued if viewed as the fruit of early experiences, I addressed myself to a study of choral history in New York with the aim of bringing to the attention of the reader the influences which have been at work in the development of the present state of culture in this department of music. I was the more willing to let the record of my observations and speculations crowd my original purpose into the background, since I became more and more convinced, as I went on, that many others must have felt with me the need of some handy notes on choral culture. It is one of the inexplicable things in the literature of music, that we should be without a history of the rise and progress of amateur singing societies. It would be difficult, I am sure, to point to another influence in the history of modern music so fruitful in results to the art itself, as well as to its cultivators, as that exercised by voluntary organizations of amateur choristers; and its interest as a theme for discussion is greatly enhanced by the fact that the story is almost compassed by the present century, and its elements might, therefore, be got together with comparative ease. The cultivation of choral music in the phase in which it shows itself now in the great festivals of England, Germany, and America, and in the concerts of such choirs as the Handel and Haydn Society, of Boston, the Oratorio Society, of New York, and the choir of the Musical Festival Association, of Cincinnati, is less than a hundred years old; and a more exhaustive investigation than is possible here, owing to the narrow limits of this book, might flatter patriotic pride by discovering that American cities were quite as prompt as Berlin in giving it encouragement, though, it is true, under far less favorable circumstances....

Download or read book The Book of Voices written by Joseph Zitt and published by . This book was released on 2010-11-01 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In ancient Judaea, a prophet who has lost her memory channels the voices of people from the Hebrew Bible. Seeking to rediscover her true self, Elisheva discovers the unexpected nature of God. Elisheva not only brings forth the voices of the well-known people of the Bible, such as Adam, Abraham, Moses, and King David, but also those whom the Bible quickly passes over. People such as Moab (bastard child of Lot and his daughter), Zimri (who lasted one week as King of Israel), and Jushab-Hesed (a child at the rededication of the temple) speak of moments in their lives, as do women that the Bible did not bother to name: the Wife of Cain, the Daughter of Jephthah, and the Shulammite. The voices cover thousands of years of mythic history, from the creation of the universe to the end of the Prophetic Age. Angels and prophets move through space and time, travel the branching paths of possible histories, step into the world of dreams, and cross the border between life and death. Throughout the lives of those who discover, defend, and oppose the faith in one God, often guided by the workings of a hidden school of prophets, the Sisters of Sarah, they face what it means to be human and to do what's right, as they help people to be better people and help God learn to be a better God.

Download or read book American Victorian Choral Music written by Dudley Buck and published by A-R Editions, Inc.. This book was released on 2005-01-01 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This MUSA volume makes an important contribution to American music studies by presenting a scholarly edition of selected choral works by Dudley Buck (18391909). Buck was arguably the finest composer of choral music among the group of musicians who had come of age by the end of the Civil War. The works chosen for this volume, some of which became icons of American Victorian culture, represent the three most popular choral genres during the Guilded Age: the anthem, the sacred and secular cantata, and the partsong. All of the works included here found immediate publication and stayed in print well into the twentieth century. Buck's works became the standards, not only by their intrinsic merit, but owing to their widespread performance throughout the country. His services, canticles, anthems, and hymnsmusically engaging, well-crafted, and often genuinely movingwere considerably more professional than the homegrown music in use when he began his work. Included here are three works, a hymn anthem ("Rock of Ages"), a liturgical text ("Festival Te Deum No. 7 in E-flat"), and a late, through-composed work ("Grant to Us Thy Grace"). Buck's sacred and secular cantatas along with his partsongs also enjoyed widespread success among the growing number of church choirs and community choral groups. The two partsongs come from his earliest and latest periods. "In Absence" represents the early Victorian partsong, and the second, "The Signal Resounds from Afar" is both Buck's longest partsong and the one showing the greatest contrapuntal complexity. Both The Centennial Meditation of Columbia, written for the 1876 Centennial Exhibition, and the Forty-Sixth Psalm, from 1872, are in full score and typify some of the finest cantata writing in Victorian America.
