Excerpt: ...Still later, in 1861, the conductor Pasdeloup instituted his " Concerts populaires," which came to an end in 1884. The same field was taken up about this time by Colonne and Lamoureux, whose concerts still continue to rank among leading French musical institutions. The revolution of 1789 gave a great impetus to the musical art. Numberless patriotic songs came as a result of it, the most famous being the " Marseillaise," written by Rouget de l'Isle, an officer of engineers. To the Revolution is also due the founding of the Paris Conservatoire. To the same source may be traced the popular taste for the opera comique, the bourgeoisie favoring that form rather than grand opera. Since 1860, concert (that is, a " standard ") pitch has been prescribed by the French government. Albert Lavignac, in his admirable work entitled Music and Musicians, has ascribed to the three great schools of music, the German, Italian, and French, the following characteristics: Germany is heir to the old contrapuntists; to her belong scientific music, profound and philosophic combinations. Italy cultivates, above all things, melody; the art of singing specially attracts her; hers is the facile and seductive music. France seeks purity of style, emotion and sincerity of expression. Of later years, France seems to have fallen away from the broader lines as here laid down and to have followed after strange gods. The purity of style is no longer so much in evidence. True, the earlier moderns such as Franck, Saint-Saens and Massenet have continued after the manner of their predecessors, but the ultra-moderns D'Indy, Debussy, and Faure have favored a rather weird harmonic structure, which has become recognized as typical...

This book was released on 2015-04-01 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bringing together scholars from the fields of musicology and international history, this book investigates the significance of music to foreign relations, and how it affected the interaction of nations since the late 19th century. For more than a century, both state and non-state actors have sought to employ sound and harmony to influence allies and enemies, resolve conflicts, and export their own culture around the world. This book asks how we can understand music as an instrument of power and influence, and how the cultural encounters fostered by music changes our ideas about international history.

Download or read book Western History in Musical Perspective written by John Huber and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2023-02-07 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Archaeological discoveries indicate that early man, even in a primitive state, made tools to produce and control sound. Music has evolved right along with us. From the perspective of Western (European) culture, all known older, more advanced forms of music developed in the East. The first civilizations of Central Asia, the Middle East, and the Nile had music with well-developed applications, as did the Greeks and Romans, who follow them in our history books. The geographical regions now dominated by China and India, and the Turkic peoples spreading westwards from Mongolia, all had their own, as well as shared, variations of percussion, string, and wind instruments, as well as vocal music. During the millennia since then, Western culture has undergone constant increasingly rapid and advanced development, and so has its music; during the sixteenth century it was spread into the Americas, eventually achieving total domination. Soon after, colonial activity also forced East Asia and eventually the rest of the world to deal with Western culture, which affected and often threatened native cultures. Get a detailed look at history from a musical perspective with this scholarly work by a musicologist who is an expert in stringed musical instrument history and development.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The forgotten story of Central Asia's enlightenment—its rise, fall, and enduring legacy In this sweeping and richly illustrated history, S. Frederick Starr tells the fascinating but largely unknown story of Central Asia's medieval enlightenment through the eventful lives and astonishing accomplishments of its greatest minds—remarkable figures who built a bridge to the modern world. Because nearly all of these figures wrote in Arabic, they were long assumed to have been Arabs. In fact, they were from Central Asia—drawn from the Persianate and Turkic peoples of a region that today extends from Kazakhstan southward through Afghanistan, and from the easternmost province of Iran through Xinjiang, China. Lost Enlightenment recounts how, between the years 800 and 1200, Central Asia led the world in trade and economic development, the size and sophistication of its cities, the refinement of its arts, and, above all, in the advancement of knowledge in many fields. Central Asians achieved signal breakthroughs in astronomy, mathematics, geology, medicine, chemistry, music, social science, philosophy, and theology, among other subjects. They gave algebra its name, calculated the earth's diameter with unprecedented precision, wrote the books that later defined European medicine, and penned some of the world's greatest poetry. One scholar, working in Afghanistan, even predicted the existence of North and South America—five centuries before Columbus. Rarely in history has a more impressive group of polymaths appeared at one place and time. No wonder that their writings influenced European culture from the time of St. Thomas Aquinas down to the scientific revolution, and had a similarly deep impact in India and much of Asia. Lost Enlightenment chronicles this forgotten age of achievement, seeks to explain its rise, and explores the competing theories about the cause of its eventual demise. Informed by the latest scholarship yet written in a lively and accessible style, this is a book that will surprise general readers and specialists alike.
