Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Some Musicians of Former Days Music is only just beginning to take the place due to it in general history. It seems a strange thing that concepts of the evolution of man's soul Should have been formed, while one of the strongest expressions of that soul has been ignored. But we know what difficulty the other arts have had in obtaining recognition in general history, even when they were more favoured and easier of approach by the French mind. Is it so long ago that this did not apply to the history of literature, and science, and philosophy, and, indeed, the whole of human thought Yet the political life of a nation is only a superficial part of its being and in order to learn its inner life - the source of its actions we must penetrate to its very soul by way of its literature, its philosophy, and its art, where the ideas, the passions, and the dreams of its people are reflected. We know that history may find resources in literature; and we know the kind of help, for example, that Corneille's poetry and Descartes' philosophy may bring to the understanding of the Treaty of Westphalia; or, again, what a dead letter the Revolution of '89 might be if we were not acquainted with the thought of the Encyclopaedists and eighteenth-century salons.

This book was released on 2018-02-02 with total page 378 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Musical Reminiscences and Impressions I had materials of sufficient interest at my disposal. I had not, however, written many pages, before I began to live again in the past. Incidents which i I had almost forgotten came before me as vividly as if they had occurred but yesterday. I saw, in imagination, the faces and figures of musicians, the lives and doings of whom the younger generations read as matters of musical history. For me, whilst penning my recollections, these musicians of the past were just as present as they were years ago when I was holding converse with them, or when I saw them at the festival or concert in which they were taking part. Some of these celebrities still live in their works, and are thus in a manner present amongst us; but the great singers and the world famed executants I have written about are, for the most part, but a name to those who have not had the privilege, as I had, of hearing them. The voice of many a celebrated singer of bygone days still rings in my ears, although now for ever mute. I.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Masters of Music: Their Lives and Works The love for and devotion to their art, in all the great composers, is a very wonderful thing to con template. In its name they would brave difficulties and dangers, and counted no sorrow too keen when accompanied by the comfort of music. One day while trudging along in Rome, singing happily to himself, he happened to pass the church of Santa Maria Maggiore. The chapel-master within heard the fresh voice, and noted the sweet ness and correctness of tone. He knew that the singer had musical taste, at least, so, going out, he stopped him and told him that he might enter his school as a pupil. Gianetto was then almost sixteen, and this was his first opportunity of studying to become a musician. He was very happy, and at once came to Rome to live, beginning to work with the perseverance which was always one of his strongest characteristics.

This book was released on 2017-10-23 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Story of Music and Musicians for Young Readers The only necessity for a preface to this little book is to explain that the work is not designed to take the place of text-books, works on harmony or thorough-bass, or those interesting lives of the great musicians which competent writers have given to us. Its object is only to interest young students in music in the technique of their art, andin the associations amid which great masters have worked. Only such rules of harmony are given as have a direct bearing upon the subject or composition under dis cussion, and these I have presented, after comparing them with standard authorities, in as simple a fashion as possi ble, relying upon any reader who is a thoughtful student progressing to technical study under a scientific instructor. Meanwhile some impetus and enthusiasm may be added, from reading this simple story of an art which all nations are in some fashion developing to-day, and which had its origin in an age that gave a significance to the victor crown of bay-leaves and laurel.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Stories of Great Musicians That the purpose1 of the public schools is the training of children for a higher citizenship, a more extensive helpfulness in affairs pertaining to the com mon good, no one questions; but we need expect no manifestation of a greater integrity, unless lofty ideals are kept constantly before them. Neither painter nor sculptor can produce a greater expres sion of beauty than that which has been built up in his own consciousness no individual can produce a greater expression of manhood or womanhood than that which he holds in his own mind. It is impor tant, therefore, that a high standard be set for the children in our schools to-day. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Portraits and Silhouettes of Musicians Danni, muswien, fils de Santi Pierluigi obtained the revenue of a canonry, but upon the follow ing conditions: that he should play the organ on feast days, take part in the daily singing of the mass, vespers, and complines, and that he should instruct the canons and children in music. He did not, however, exercise these modest functions for long. It may be that he grew independent of the revenue for he had married a young girl of the town, Lu crezia de Goris, who shortly afterwards in herited from her mother a few acres of vine yard and meadow; and in 1551, Giovanni del Monte, the bishop cardinal of Palestrina, be coming pope under the title of Julius III., called his young fellow citizen to Rome, con ferring upon him the directorship of the chapel of St. Peterl. Here Palestrina's artistic ca reer really began. Three years later, in 1554, he dedicated to Julius III. His first volume of masses; the first work of sacred music that had yet been offered by an Italian to a sover eign pontiff. The pope, sensible of this homage, and still more sensible of Palestrina's dawning renown. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Face to Face With Great Musicians Each name in the whole history of music conjures up for me a living personality, with whom I may in the silences of solitude, converse in no mistakable manner. It is no dead, empty-sounding word for me to see the name of a composer on a program; each number that is to be heard is a key which unlocks for me a stage on which is reenacted a scene from the drama of a man's life. In these little meetings face to face with great musicians, I have tried to make it possible for the most unlearned novice in music to enter the inner circle of musical creators and interpreters.
