Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: « Procurer ce qu'on serait tenté de nommer une biographie de la musique requiert un effort de synthèse que la complexité de la matière et l'extrême dispersion des compétences à travers le monde rendent de plus en plus délicate. Car la musicologie, dernière-née des sciences tributaires de l'histoire et de l'ethnographie, a vu s'ouvrir, avec notre siècle, l'ère des spécialistes, dont la répartition et l'implantation dans les diverses régions du globe est moins déterminée, le plus souvent, par le génie du lieu que par l'organisation, fort inégalement développée, de la recherche dans chaque pays. C'est ainsi qu'en France, où la musique est traditionnellement tenue, comme nous l'avons dit, en marge de la culture, l'enseignement supérieur, ayant généreusement doublé le nombre de ses chaires de musicologie, peut aujourd'hui se targuer d'en posséder deux... La Belgique, cependant, en compte cinq, l'Allemagne plus de cinquante et les États-Unis près de deux cents. On ne s'étonnera donc point que nous ayons été amenés à chercher quelquefois fort loin les meilleurs experts en telle matière qui nous touche de très près. » Roland-Manuel, 1960.

Download or read book The Cambridge History of World Music written by Philip V. Bohlman and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2013-12-12 with total page 943 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Scholars have long known that world music was not merely the globalized product of modern media, but rather that it connected religions, cultures, languages and nations throughout world history. The chapters in this History take readers to foundational historical moments – in Europe, Oceania, China, India, the Muslim world, North and South America – in search of the connections provided by a truly world music. Historically, world music emerged from ritual and religion, labor and life-cycles, which occupy chapters on Native American musicians, religious practices in India and Indonesia, and nationalism in Argentina and Portugal. The contributors critically examine music in cultural encounter and conflict, and as the critical core of scientific theories from the Arabic Middle Ages through the Enlightenment to postmodernism. Overall, the book contains the histories of the music of diverse cultures, which increasingly become the folk, popular and classical music of our own era.
Download or read book From Renaissance to Baroque written by Jonathan Wainwright and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-07-05 with total page 507 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Historians of instruments and instrumental music have long recognised that there was a period of profound change in the seventeenth century, when the consorts or families of instruments developed during the Renaissance were replaced by the new models of the Baroque period. Yet the process is still poorly understood, in part because each instrument has traditionally been considered in isolation, and changes in design have rarely been related to changes in the way instruments were used, or what they played. The essays in this book are by distinguished international authors that include specialists in particular instruments together with those interested in such topics as the early history of the orchestra, iconography, pitch and continuo practice. The book will appeal to instrument makers and academics who have an interest in achieving a better understanding of the process of change in the seventeenth century, but the book also raises questions that any historically aware performer ought to be asking about the performance of Baroque music. What sorts of instruments should be used? At what pitch? In which temperament? In what numbers and/or combinations? For this reason, the book will be invaluable to performers, academics, instrument makers and anyone interested in the fascinating period of change from the 'Renaissance' to the 'Baroque'.
Download or read book Music and Metamorphosis in Graeco Roman Thought written by Pauline A. LeVen and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2020-12-03 with total page 291 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Where does music come from? What kind of agency does a song have? What is at the root of musical pleasure? Can music die? These are some of the questions the Greeks and the Romans asked about music, song, and the soundscape within which they lived, and that this book examines. Focusing on mythical narratives of metamorphosis, it investigates the aesthetic and ontological questions raised by fantastic stories of musical origins. Each chapter opens with an ancient text devoted to a musical metamorphosis (of a girl into a bird, a nymph into an echo, men into cicadas, etc.) and reads that text as a meditation on an aesthetic and ontological question, in dialogue with 'contemporary' debates – contemporary with debates in the Greco-Roman culture that gave rise to the story, and with modern debates in the posthumanities about what it means to be a human animal enmeshed in a musicking environment.
Download or read book Is Johann Sebastian Bach a great composer written by Claude Fernandez and published by fernandez claude. This book was released on 2014-01-01 with total page 45 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: General synthesis essay trying to consider, as an example, the causes of the notoriety of Johann Sebastian Bach, particularly in comparison whit his contemporary Vivaldi. Is the notoriety of the greats composers due to the real musical interest of their masterpieces for the people or to the result of a complex alchemy in which ideology mainly intervenes ? The name of Bach seems particularly to illustrate the influence of extra-musicals factors in the recognition of genius, real or supposed. The comparison with his contemporary Vivaldi allow to show the importance of such factors.
Download or read book Animal Musicalities written by Rachel Mundy and published by Wesleyan University Press. This book was released on 2018-05-15 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the past century and a half, the voices and bodies of animals have been used by scientists and music experts as a benchmark for measures of natural difference. Animal Musicalities traces music’s taxonomies from Darwin to digital bird guides to show how animal song has become the starting point for enduring evaluations of species, races, and cultures. By examining the influential efforts made by a small group of men and women to define human diversity in relation to animal voices, this book raises profound questions about the creation of modern human identity, and the foundations of modern humanism.

Download or read book Out of Italy written by Fernand Braudel and published by Europa Editions. This book was released on 2019-07-16 with total page 197 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the author of Memory and the Mediterranean, a comprehensive history of the Italian city states from 1450 to 1650. In the fifteenth century, even before the city states of the Apennine Peninsula began to coalesce into what would become, several centuries later, a nation, “Italy” exerted enormous influence over all of Europe and throughout the Mediterranean. Its cultural, economic, and political dominance is utterly astonishing and unique in world history. Viewing the Italy?the many Italies?of that time through the lens of today allows us to gather a fragmented, multi-faceted, and seemingly contradictory history into a single unifying narrative that speaks to our current reality as much as it does to a specific historical period. This is what the acclaimed French historian, Fernand Braudel, achieves here. He brings to life the two extraordinary centuries that span the Renaissance, Mannerism, and the Baroque and analyzes the complex interaction between art, science, politics, and commerce during Italy’s extraordinary cultural flowering.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Surveying the field he helped establish, Bruno Nettl investigates how concepts such as evolution, geography, and history serve as catalysts for advancing ethnomusicological methods and perspectives.
