Download or read book The Afterlife of Bach s Organ Works written by Russell Stinson and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2023-10-20 with total page 249 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The music of J. S. Bach continues to be revered and celebrated centuries after his death. Its timelessness can be attributed to masterful musical engineering combined with profound expressivity. In other words, Bach's unique art may represent the pinnacle of contrapuntal technique, but it is just as amazing for its depth of emotion. Bach's compositions remain an indispensable part of the classical-music canon today. The Afterlife of Bach's Organ Works explores the critical impact made on posterity by Bach's organ music. It concerns a diverse group of musicians and non-musicians alike--some famous, some forgotten--who in one way or another became champions of these compositions. These individuals performed the music; edited it for publication; promoted it by means of books, articles, and reviews; transcribed it for other media; taught it to their pupils; shared it with their family and friends; and incorporated it into the soundtracks of their motion pictures. They ensured its "afterlife." In five chapters, organist and Bach expert Russell Stinson traces the historical afterlife of Bach's organ music from the early nineteenth century--the era of the so-called Bach revival--to the present day. Engagingly written and containing a wealth of information previously unavailable in English, the book is a history of performance practice, an aesthetic history of musical taste, and a social history. Each chapter tells the story of how and why Bach's organ works have stood the test of time.

Download or read book Thebes 338 B C E written by Edward Mallon and published by Outskirts Press. This book was released on 2022-03-02 with total page 310 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This historical novel is set in ancient Greece during a crucial two year period from 338 – 336 B.C.E. The young poet Aristides, outside the city of Thebes, narrates his life from age 14 to 16 and near his death at 70 in Egypt as he looks back upon his life’s journey. It is the time of King Philip II of Macedon and his son Alexander, (18-20) soon to be the Great. The intrigue, struggle for love and power in the royal court of kings, is the background as Aristides comes of age. After a fierce battle on the fields of Chaeronea, King Philip’s military genius defeats the combined armies of Athens, Thebes, and their many allies. He now becomes the master of all the Greek City-States except Sparta. Aristides, the poet and creator of stories, is captured and tasked to write the King’s exploits in verse so that Philip can become immortal like Achilles in Homer’s great poem The Iliad. In such an environment, Aristides grows from a naive boy into a young man searching for the answers to life’s many challenges. Will he find love, fulfillment, purpose? This is the story of Thebes 338 B.C.E. as the poet searches for the meaning of his life. Near his life’s end in the city of Alexandra under the rule of Ptolemy, the first Greek Pharaoh of Egypt, Aristides is struck, like a bolt of lightning, with enlightenment in the arms of his most beloved. This divine knowledge is his gift to us as he writes the story of his life. He lived under three great kings, Philip, Alexander, and Ptolemy, when the world was ablaze with wonder and excitement. It was a time when the ancient gods were feared, honored, and appeased. It was a time when the world was young. It is a time of rebirth for us where we all can be young again.
