Swafford traza aquí la historia de toda la música occidental, convirtiéndose en un guía cómplice y experto que nos introduce en los compositores y sus obras, y comparte con nosotros las ideas y percepciones que confieren a la música sus cualidades universales y su capacidad única para transmitir amor, esperanza, entusiasmo o desesperación.

Una lectura esencial para cualquiera que quiera saber más sobre la más sublime de las artes. “Jan Swafford consigue algo muy difícil: capta el espíritu de la música con palabras. Sus breves retratos de los compositores y sus obras resultan muy convincentes y, más importante aún, nos impulsan a ir corriendo a escuchar esa música de la que nos habla.” Emanuel Ax, pianista “Cualquiera que sienta curiosidad por la música pero no haya tenido la suerte de contar con un maestro con Swafford, debería leer esta introducción a la música clásica. ¡Este libro debería ser de lectura obligatoria en todos los colegios!” John O’Conor, exdirector de la Real Academia de Música de Irlanda “En el centro de este libro se encuentra un genuino amor por la música. Es un viaje hacia lo que significa a un nivel muy personal y nos recuerda a los que estamos en la profesión por qué nos hicimos músicos.” Leonard Slatkin, director de la Orquesta Sinfónica de Detroit

Download or read book Historia ins lita de la m sica cl sica I written by Alberto Zurrón Rodríguez and published by Ediciones Nowtilus. This book was released on 2015-11-02 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Conozca la vida íntima, anécdotas y peripecias singulares que vivieron los compositores e intérpretes más extraordinarios de la música clásica. Un lector podrá tararear una pieza porque le suene, pero nunca podrá experimentar del todo la intensidad de la música si no conoce al mago que está detrás. Historia insólita de la música clásica le acercará a estos hombres por encima de su música, extraerá de estos sublimes desvergonzados y descarados (pero ángeles, sobre todo) el origen y el destino de todos sus males, de todas sus aberraciones, de sus manías y sus originalidades. Una obra que le ayudará a entender a esos seres maravillosos que creía conocer pero sobre los que estaba equivocado. Alberto Zurrón escribe una obra que no es como el de otros libros de corte similar, que colocan anécdota sobre anécdota con escasa imaginación y abordando a los compositores ad hominem, por orden alfabético, de manera que se pierde agilidad y la gran oportunidad de entrelazar a unos compositores con otros cuando comparten épocas, situaciones, singularidades y amistades. En este libro se abordan los temas, y ahí se aglutina a un elevado número de compositores, de manera que la narración nunca cansa, ya que no se habla en exceso y monolíticamente de cada personaje. Razones para comprar la obra: - Se trata de un ensayo histórico riguroso que recorre la biografía de los genios de la música clásica descubriendo su rutina, sus antecedentes, la consecución de sus mayores logros o sus mayores miserias y fracasos. - Este ensayo reúne en un único tomo la historia de grandes compositores e intérpretes como Mozart Rachmaninov, Glück, Verdi o Schubert, revelando anécdotas de su profesión o curiosidades nunca antes publicadas. - La obra es una historia de la música contada por sus protagonistas de un modo ameno, casi como si fuera una novela. El lector se sumerge entre las páginas de este ensayo como si se zambullera en la apasionante aventura de la composición de una obra maestra. - El autor posee gran calidad literaria, ha sido galardonado con varios premios nacionales de poesía y ha sido aplaudido por autores de la talla de Gonzalo Torrente Ballester o Antonio Gala. Una obra llena de ingenio y datos sorprendentes que le descubrirá las facetas más desconocidas de la historia de la música. Un insólito acopio de risas, asombros y descubrimientos musicales.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the first biography in English of the great Argentinian tango singer Carlos Gardel (1890-1935), Collier traces his rise from very modest beginnings to become the first genuine "superstar" of twentieth-century Latin America. In his late teens, Gardel won local fame in the barrios of Buenos Aires singing in cafes and political clubs. By the 1920s, after he switched to tango singing, the songs he wrote and sang enjoyed instant popularity and have become classics of the genre. He began making movies in the 1930s, quickly establishing himself as the most popular star of the Spanish-language cinema, and at the time of his death Paramount was planning to launch his Hollywood career.Collier's biography focuses on Gardel's artistic career and achievements but also sets his life story within the context of the tango tradition, of early twentieth-century Argentina, and of the history of popular entertainment.

Download or read book Devotional Music in the Iberian World 1450 1800 written by Tess Knighton and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-07-05 with total page 342 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the fifteenth century to the beginning of the nineteenth century, devotional music played a fundamental role in the Iberian world. Songs in the vernacular, usually referred to by the generic name of 'villancico', but including forms as varied as madrigals, ensaladas, tonos, cantatas or even oratorios, were regularly performed at many religious feasts in major churches, royal and private chapels, convents and in monasteries. These compositions appear to have progressively fulfilled or supplemented the role occupied by the Latin motet in other countries and, as they were often composed anew for each celebration, the surviving sources vastly outnumber those of Latin compositions; they can be counted in tens of thousands. The close relationship with secular genres, both musical, literary and performative, turned these compositions into a major vehicle for dissemination of vernacular styles throughout the Iberian world. This model of musical production was also cultivated in Portugal and rapidly exported to the Spanish and Portuguese colonies in America and Asia. In many cases, the villancico repertory represents the oldest surviving source of music produced in these regions, thus affording it a primary role in the construction of national identities. The sixteen essays in this volume explore the development of devotional music in the Iberian world in this period, providing the first broad-based survey of this important genre.
Download or read book The Long Lingering Shadow written by Robert J. Cottrol and published by University of Georgia Press. This book was released on 2013-02-01 with total page 388 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Students of American history know of the law’s critical role in systematizing a racial hierarchy in the United States. Showing that this history is best appreciated in a comparative perspective, The Long, Lingering Shadow looks at the parallel legal histories of race relations in the United States, Brazil, and Spanish America. Robert J. Cottrol takes the reader on a journey from the origins of New World slavery in colonial Latin America to current debates and litigation over affirmative action in Brazil and the United States, as well as contemporary struggles against racial discrimination and Afro-Latin invisibility in the Spanish-speaking nations of the hemisphere. Ranging across such topics as slavery, emancipation, scientific racism, immigration policies, racial classifications, and legal processes, Cottrol unravels a complex odyssey. By the eve of the Civil War, the U.S. slave system was rooted in a legal and cultural foundation of racial exclusion unmatched in the Western Hemisphere. That system’s legacy was later echoed in Jim Crow, the practice of legally mandated segregation. Jim Crow in turn caused leading Latin Americans to regard their nations as models of racial equality because their laws did not mandate racial discrimination— a belief that masked very real patterns of racism throughout the Americas. And yet, Cottrol says, if the United States has had a history of more-rigid racial exclusion, since the Second World War it has also had a more thorough civil rights revolution, with significant legal victories over racial discrimination. Cottrol explores this remarkable transformation and shows how it is now inspiring civil rights activists throughout the Americas.

This book was released on 2015-05-01 with total page 346 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "During the Cold War, thousands of musicians from the United States traveled the world under the sponsorship of the U.S. State Department's Cultural Presentations program. Using archival documents and newly collected oral histories, this study illuminates the reception of these musical events, for the practice of musical diplomacy on the ground sometimes differed substantially from what the department's planners envisioned. Performances of music in many styles--classical, rock 'n' roll, folk, blues, and jazz--were meant to compete with traveling Soviet and Chinese artists, enhancing the reputation of American culture. These concerts offered large audiences evidence of America's improving race relations, excellent musicianship, and generosity toward other peoples. Most important, these performances also built meaningful connections with people in other lands. Through personal contacts and the media, musical diplomacy created subtle musical, social, and political relationships on a global scale. Although these tours were sometimes conceived as propaganda ventures, their most important function was the building of imagined and real relationships, which constitute the essence of soft power"--Provided by publisher.
