Download or read book Project China written by Xin Gao and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 122 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In recent years, performances of newly composed Chinese music have become more common at national and international saxophone conventions. However, saxophone works by Chinese composers are still rare, and this body of work is largely unfamiliar to Western saxophonists. Moreover, no specialized and compiled reference material exists about these works, making them difficult to find. Chinese saxophone music deserves a higher level of Western exposure both for its high quality and for the skillful use of contemporary saxophone techniques its composers have utilized to express traditional Chinese musical elements. This document is a bibliographic resource that includes contemporary saxophone music written by living Chinese-born composers from 1952 until 2015. The Londeix guide to the saxophone repertoire, 1844-2012 by Jean-Marie Londeix and Bruce Ronkin is used as a model to make it convenient for readers to browse for contemporary Chinese saxophone works. Each entry contains available information, including dedication, program notes, instrumentation, level of difficulty and publication information. My resources for collecting the repertoire and its information include the Londeix guide, programs from major saxophone conferences, and personal networking with the composers. In addition, the essays on selected works offer a stylistic overview of contemporary Chinese saxophone music, giving a basic introduction to readers regarding various compositional styles that exist in this genre, as well as performance suggestions. The ultimate aim of this study is to promote contemporary saxophone music written by Chinese-born composers and to bring these composers and their works to a higher level of Western exposure."--Abstract from author supplied metadata.

Download or read book The Life and Music of John Boda with an Emphasis on His Saxophone Works written by Daniel Powell and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: John Boda (1922-2002) was a highly accomplished pianist, conductor, composer, and professor. His diverse musical talents and eclectic hobbies defined him and influenced countless students, colleagues, friends and family members. During his long and productive music career, he taught at The Florida State University for fifty-three years and wrote more than 150 compositions for every genre except opera. This study explores the life and music of Boda with particular attention given to his saxophone works. Despite his success, many of Boda's compositions are unpublished and unrecognized for their merit. Of the four pieces he wrote for the saxophone, Perambulations (1977), Forest Sounds and Dance (1982), Concert Piece (1982), and Two Movements for Saxophone Quartet (1983), none are published and only two are listed in A Comprehensive Guide to the Saxophone Repertoire 1844-2003 by Jean-Marie Londeix. These works are valuable additions to the saxophone repertoire and warrant awareness within the saxophone community. Chapter One is a biography of John Boda, focusing on his musicianship. Chapter Two is a summary of Boda's compositional style at various stages throughout his career. Many compositions are referenced to illustrate the continuity of structure and form in his pieces. Chapters Three, Four, Five, and Six, respectively, examine each of Boda's four saxophone works. A historical background and stylistic overview are given for each piece and musical examples are taken from original manuscripts.

Download or read book The Study of Folk Music in the Modern World written by Philip V. Bohlman and published by Indiana University Press. This book was released on 1988-06-22 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "[This book] is a contribution of considerable substance because it takes a holistic view of the field of folk music and the scholarship that has dealt with it." -- Bruno Nettl "... a praiseworthy combination of solid scholarship, penetrating discussion, and global relevance." -- Asian Folklore Studies "... successfully ties the history and development of folk music scholarship with contemporary concepts, issues, and shifts, and which treats varied folk musics of the world cultures within the rubric of folklore and ethnomusicology with subtle generalizations making sense to serious minds... " -- Folklore Forum "... [this book] challenges many carefully-nurtured sacred cows. Bohlman has executed an intellectual challenge of major significance by successfully organizing a welter of unruly data and ideas into a single, appropriately complex but coherent, system." -- Folk Music Journal Bohlman examines folk music as a genre of folklore from a broadly cross-cultural perspective and espouses a more expansive view of folk music, stressing its vitality in non-Western cultures as well as Western, in the present as well as the past.

Download or read book Pynchon s Sound of Music written by Christian Hänggi and published by Diaphanes. This book was released on 2020 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pynchon's Sound of Music is dedicated to cataloging, exploring, and interpreting the manifold manifestations of music in Thomas Pynchon's work. An original mix of close and distant readings, this monograph employs a variety of disciplines--from literary studies and musicology to philosophy, media theory, and history--to explain Pynchon through music and music through Pynchon. Encyclopedic and eclectic in its approach, Pynchon's Sound of Music discusses the author's use of instruments such as the kazoo, harmonica, and saxophone and embarks on close readings of the most salient and musically tantalizing passages. Zooming out to a bird's eye view, Christian Hänggi puts Pynchon's historical musical references and allusions into perspective to trace the trends and tendencies in the development of the author's interest in music. A treasure trove for fans and an invaluable source for future scholarship, this book includes the Pynchon Playlist, a catalog of over 900 musical references in Pynchon's oeuvre, and an exhaustive index of more than 700 appearances of musical instruments.
