Book excerpt: Excerpt from Short Studies in the Nature of Music The Origin and Nature of Music are subjects upon which most scientists and all senti mentalists have their own theories.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Mr. Herbert Antcliffe is well-known to readers of this and other journals as a thoughtful writer on matters concerning our art. He has recently put forth a collection of his periodical essays under the title of 'Short Studies in the Nature of Music.' He opens with six short essays dealing directly with the title, and follows them up with longer papers on 'Programme Music,' the 'Symphonic Poem,' 'Music as an Educational Force,' 'History and Music,' and 'Religious Emotion and Music' On all these subjects Mr. Antcliffe says a good deal well worth saying, with a simplicity and clearness of style that are too often lacking in musical literature. The cause of music in this country has suffered from a lack of books written for the plain average man who makes up the bulk of our concert audiences—books free from gush, affectation, and pedantry. Mr. Antcliffe does exactly what his Preface tells us he sets out to do, 'To suggest some lines of thought for the average thinking person who is interested in the subject.' " —The Musical Times, Volume 61 * * * * * From the PREFACE: THE Origin and Nature of Music are subjects upon which most scientists and all sentimentalists have their own theories. The following essays attempt neither to teach the one nor to guide the other, but merely to suggest some lines of thought for the average thinking person who is interested in the subject. Most of them have passed the primary test of editorial scrutiny, others have been delivered as lectures to audiences, alike learned and unlearned, in many different places in England and Ireland, some of the original papers being modified as the result of discussions following the publicity so afforded. The longer ones have generally appeared as several distinct articles, sometimes in journals of widely differing scope. To the Editors of the Musical Quarterly, Musical Times (that severe critic, but genial and unvarying friend, the late Dr. W. G. McNaught), New Music Review, Educational Times, British Review, Musical News and Musical Opinion, an acknowledgment is due for their kind permission to reprint. While the essays claim to be unified by their endeavor to discover or state one or other aspect of the Nature of Music, of its essential qualities, its constituent materials and the methods in which such materials are employed, each essay is complete in itself. This has involved a certain amount of overlapping, which, however, has been avoided so far as is agreeable with a complete statement of the theory or fact set forth.

Download or read book The Story of Musical Form Classic Reprint written by Clarence Lucas and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-03-08 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Story of Musical Form This book is not a text-book. It is intended for any cultured reader who takes an interest in good music. At the same time I must add that a work of this nature would have been of great help to me when I was a young student of music. Text-books contain such a mass of detail that it is next to impossible for the beginner to get any conception whatsoever of the general principles of the art of composition. He plods up the rocky slopes of Parnassus, catching at every ledge, bruised with falls, foot-sore and weary, to be rewarded with a vision of the antres vast and deserts idle only when he has scaled the heights and reached the top. These pages give a brief description of the paths that lead to this desirable summit; but do not imagine, casual reader, that the perusal of this book will make you a composer. At best, it is but a captive balloon from which you can snatch a bird's eye view of the panorama nearest you. The wings of the eagle alone can soar into the blue.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Story of Music: An Historical Sketch of the Changes in Musical Form I freely confess that I have chosen the second course, not from any lack of modesty, but because I believe that the presentation of history is a matter less of knowledge than of point of view. For this reason the invitation of the Radio Corporation attracted me particularly, as it gave me the opportunity of testing the soundness of the ideas developed in my book on Wagner and my pamphlet on The Nature of Tone in the larger field of music history as a whole. These lectures, which were given under the title of The History of Change in Music, are here presented in book form. While the title has been changed, the lec ture form has been retained because it gives the original layout of the material.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Short History of Music We have as relates to the ancient music of India only much about theory, but this is suf cient to give us an idea of the immense com plication of their musical system. The tones of the diatonic scale which they seem to have known, but whose importance as basis of a musical system they did not appreciate, were divided into semi tones, and these in their turn into other semi tones, quarter-tones, and yet smaller divisions.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Modern Music and Musicians There are many who will be inclined to deny that programme music has a history at all, or at any rate one worth writing, but as a matter of fact the idea that music is capable Of any but an abstract use is far Older than is generally supposed. Nearly four hundred years ago, at a time when music, from our point of view, was barely articulate, Sir Thomas More wrote Of his Utopians: For all their music, both that they play upon instruments and that they sing with man's voice, doth so resemble and express natural affections, the sound and tune is so applied and made agreeable to the thing, that whether it be a prayer or else a ditty of gladness, of patience, of trouble, Of mourning or Of anger, the fashion Of the melody doth so represent the meaning Of the thing, that it doth wonderfully move, stir, pierce and inflame the hearers' minds.

Download or read book Studies in the Printing Publishing and Performance of Music in the 16th Century written by Stanley Boorman and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-07-28 with total page 330 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The emergence of music printing and publishing in the early 16th century radically changed how music was circulated, and how the musical source (printed or manuscript) was perceived, and used in performance. This series of close studies of the structure and content of 16th-century and early 17th-century editions (and some manuscripts) of music draws conclusions in a number of areas - printing techniques for music; the habits of different type-setters and scribes, and their view of performing practice; publishers' approaches to the musical market and its abilities and interests; apparent changes of plan in preparing editions; questions of authorship; evidence in editions and manuscripts for interpreting different levels of notation; ways in which scribes could influence performers' decisions, and others by which composers could exploit unusual sonorities.
