Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Joonas Kokkonen (1921-1996) has been one of the most performed Finnish composers during the past 25 years both within Finland and abroad.The author's study of Joonas Kokkonen is the first full-scale account in English. Starting with a brief survey of Finnish music during the 20th century, the book then devotes a separate chapter to each of the major genres in which Kokkonen composed: symphonic, orchestral, vocal, chamber and keyboard. Illustrated with over a hundred music examples, The Music of Joonas Kokkonen seeks to overturn his reputation in some quarters as a conservative, even old fashioned, composer, and argues that Kokkonen created an interesting and refreshing approach to dodecaphonic composition and pitch organization. With a full chronological listing of works and bibliography, this book is the most important reference source to date on Kokkonen and his music."

Download or read book Dies Irae written by Robert Chase and published by Scarecrow Press. This book was released on 2004-09-08 with total page 730 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since time immemorial, the response of the living to death has been to commemorate the life of the departed through ceremonies and rituals. For nearly two millennia, the Christian quest for eternal peace has been expressed in a poetic-musical structure known as the requiem. Traditional requiem texts, among them the anonymous medieval Latin poem Dies Irae ('Day of Wrath'), have inspired an untold number of composers in different ages and serving different religions, Western and Eastern. This book, the first comprehensive survey of requiem music for nearly half a century, provides a great deal of diverse and detailed information that will be of use to the professional musician, the musical scholar, the choral conductor, the theologian and liturgist, and the general reader. The main body of the guide is a description of some 250 requiems. Each entry includes a concise biography of the composer and a description of the composition. Details of voicing, orchestration, editions, and discography are given. An extensive bibliography includes dictionaries, encyclopedias, prayer books, monographs, and articles. An appendix lists more than 1700 requiems not discussed within the main text.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Wolfram Schwinger, as a music critic in Stuttgart, followed Penderecki's progress from the time his music first came to be heard in Germany. Since becoming Head of Opera in Stuttgart, he has had even closer contact with the progress of Penderecki, having inspired performances of his later works there, as well as visiting the composer in Poland and during his sojourns in other countries. In this book, first published in 1979 and now, for its first English-language edition, revised and enlarged to include new works as far as the opera The Black Mask, the author explores Penderecki's work in electronic studios, in radio, the cinema and theatre, as conductor of music by Stravinsky, Sibelius and Shostakovich, as well as his own works."--Back cover.
