Download or read book The Origins of Visual Culture in the Islamic World written by Mohammed Hamdouni Alami and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2015-04-17 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In tenth-century Iraq, a group of Arab intellectuals and scholars known as the Ikhwan al-Safa began to make their intellectual mark on the society around them. A mysterious organisation, the identities of its members have never been clear. But its contribution to the philosophy, art and culture of the era - and indeed subsequent ones - is evident. In the visual arts, for example, Hamdouni Alami argues that the theory of human proportions which the Ikwan al-Safa propounded (something very similar to those of da Vinci), helped shape the evolution of the philosophy of aesthetics, art and architecture in the tenth and eleventh centuries CE, in particular in Egypt under the Fatimid rulers. By examining the arts of the Fatimids, focusing on painting and architectural works such as the first Fatimid mosque in al-Mahdiyya, Tunisia, Hamdouni Alami offers analysis of the debates surrounding the ethics of the appreciation of Islamic art and architecture from a vital time in medieval Middle Eastern history, and shows their similarity with aesthetic debates of Italian Renaissance

Download or read book Music written by Rudolf Steiner and published by Rudolf Steiner Press. This book was released on 2016-07-22 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'Our neurosensory system is inwardly configured music, and we experience music as an artistic quality to the degree that a piece of music is in tune with the mystery of our own musical structure.' - Rudolf SteinerWhat is music? Rudolf Steiner regards the essence of music as something spiritual, inaudible to the senses. The world of tones, borne on the vibrations of air, is not the essential element. 'The true nature of music, the spiritual element in music', he says, 'is found between the tones, lies in the intervals as an inaudible quality.'Rudolf Steiner spoke repeatedly about music as something inherent both in the cosmos and the human being. It played an important role in many forms of ritual and worship, and people once perceived a link between music and the world of stars, which was seen as the dwelling place of the gods. Nowadays our view of music is divorced from such religious outlooks, but research repeatedly demonstrates the profound effect it continues to have on us. In this unique anthology of texts, compiled with a commentary and notes by Michael Kurtz, Steiner describes the realm of the spiritually-resonating harmonies of the spheres and our intrinsic connection to this cosmic music. He also explores the phenomenon of musical listening and experience, as well as Goethe's approach to music.

Download or read book The Music of Heaven written by John Thurber and published by . This book was released on 2001 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What is the music of heaven really like? Read a Bible-based answer from John Thurber, a professional musician who has made a lifelong study of the topic. Churches everywhere are in a crisis mode over what to sing and play for the assembly of the saints in worship. Many have unanswered questions such as: Is God concerned about the music being played by Christians today? Is the music being played in my church of heavenly, or earthly origin? How should the church react to all the new "flavors" of music? Was Lucifer's "pride problem"--The one that started his rebellion in heaven-somehow tied to his music? And is it still hounding the saints today? What about the music that so many of our youth love so dearly. Are they being led or misled? Are we swept up in worshipping stars rather than looking to and praising the Star of heaven? John Thurber finds the answers to these questions, and more, in this important new book on the music of heaven. Pastor Thurber's first sermon, which he preached while a student in college, was on this wonderful topic. Since that day, he has spent many happy hours searching the inspired pages of the Scriptures and Spirit of Prophecy to learn even more of God's music. You'll find the results of his study in this book, including: The role music has played in the great controversy between Christ and Satan Detailed descriptions of what heaven's music is-and isn't-like, and 27 Practical Principles for choosing heavenly music No book Pastor Thurber wrote would be complete without stories, so he's put a few of those in, too. Read the touching story of the fat lady and the circus, and how God worked in her life through music, in "Baby Francis and the Bullet Holes." Your heart will be warmed as you read how God send a "shoe shine" boy to Pastor Thurber in an airport one day. And your thinking will be stirred by the lesson behind "When the Crowd Didn't Clap." Before his retirement, Pastor Thurber taught music in several different academies and colleges. The highlight of Pastor Thurber's music ministry was singing with the King's Heralds Quartet at the Voice of Prophecy, and traveling with H.M.S. Richards Sr. and his fellow musicians there. Pastor Thurber brings all of his experience, and the wisdom gained through his career as a professional musician, into this inspiring book.

Download or read book The Oxford Handbook of Andrew Marvell written by Martin Dzelzainis and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2019-03-28 with total page 864 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Oxford Handbook of Andrew Marvell is the most comprehensive and informative collection of essays ever assembled dealing with the life and writings of the poet and politician Andrew Marvell (1621-78). Like his friend and colleague John Milton, Marvell is now seen as a dominant figure in the literary landscape of the mid-seventeenth century, producing a stunning oeuvre of poetry and prose either side of the Restoration. In the 1640s and 1650s he was the author of hypercanonical lyrics like 'To His Coy Mistress' and 'The Garden' as well as three epoch-defining poems about Oliver Cromwell. After 1660 he virtually invented the verse genre of state satire as well as becoming the most influential prose satirist of the day—in the process forging a long-lived reputation as an incorruptible patriot. Although Marvell himself was an intensely private and self-contained character, whose literary, religious, and political commitments are notoriously difficult to discern, the interdisciplinary contributions by an array of experts in the fields of seventeenth-century literature, history, and politics gathered together in the Handbook constitute a decisive step forward in our understanding of him. They offer a fully-rounded account of his life and writings, individual readings of his key works, considerations of his relations with his major contemporaries, and surveys of his rich and varied afterlives. Informed by the wealth of editorial and biographical work on Marvell that has been produced in the last twenty years, the volume is both a conspectus of the state of the art in Marvell studies and the springboard for future research.

Download or read book The Origins of the Telescope written by Albert Van Helden and published by Amsterdam University Press. This book was released on 2010 with total page 376 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The origins of the telescope have been discussed and debated since shortly after the instrument's appearance in The Hague in 1608. Civic and national pride have led local dignitaries, popular writers, and numerous scholars to search the archives and to construct sharply divergent histories. Did the honor of the invention belong to the Dutch, to the Italians, to the English, or to the Spanish? And if the city of Middelburg in the Netherlands was, in fact, the cradle of the instrument, was the "true inventor" Hans Lipperhey or his rival Zacharias Jansen? Or was the instrument there before anyone knew it? Over the past several decades, a group of historians and scientists have sought out new documents, re-examined familiar ones, and tested early lenses and telescopes. This volume contains the proceedings of a symposium held in Middelburg in September 2008 to mark 400 years of the telescope. The essays in it, taken as a whole, present a new and convincing account of the origins of the instrument that changed mankind's vision of the universe.
Download or read book Philosophies of Music in Medieval Islam written by Fadlou Shehadi and published by BRILL. This book was released on 1995 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This surveys the philosophies of music of the most important thinkers in Islam between the 9th and the 15th centuries A.D. It covers topics ranging from the physics and aesthetics of sound, the nature of music, its place in the total scheme of things and in human life, the relation between music, astronomy, astrology and meteorology, the relation between music and human feelings, character and behavour, to the question of whether a good Muslim should be allowed to listen to music at all, and if so, to which sorts. The book traces the influence of Greek, in particular Pythagorean and Aristoxenian, thinking in Islam on this subject, and aims to provide a philosophically coherent statement of thinking of the Islamic writers concerned, a clarification of their central arguments, as well as a critical evaluation of their line of thought. The author introduces a wide range of material from manuscript sources, including much that has not been published before. This work will be of interest to Islamicists, but also to medievalists, musicologists, historians of the philosophy of music and classicists.
