Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Southern Symphonies I have no apologies to offer for these stray waifs of my mind - I did not write them, they just wrote themselves, for ofttimes when Life's duties and responsibilities pressed upon me, these ofi'springs travailed, and their birth could no more have been suppressed than mortal could quench the power of Divinity. This very fact accounts for these varied children - some in the very slough of despond, some gay and lilting, some mediocre to painfulness, and some on the very mountain top of happiness and ecstasy -they sprang involuntarily and unbidden from the heart in its manifold moods. I lovingly dedicate them to my precious parents, the noble father of whom I was deprived so early in life, and my a ed mother who has been my constant companion throng life's vicissitudes as well as in its gayer hours.

Download or read book Symphony Stories Classic Reprint written by Adeline McCall and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-26 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Symphony Stories Johann christian became organist of the Milan Cathedral in northern Italy. After some years in Milan, he moved to London, where he spent the rest of his life. This is why people, who had a hard time keeping the members of the Bach family straight, always referred to johann Christian as the English Bach. IN england, Johann Christian Bach composed a great deal of music. It was music that people liked and loved to listen to when they were in a mood for light and melodious sounds. Perhaps the years in Italy had been such happy ones that Johann Christian brought the sunny skies of the south to foggy England. In any event he became a well-loved and popular composer. He ete operas, symphonies, and compositions for harpsichord. The harpsichord pieces, according to a historian, could be executed by ladies with little trouble.

Download or read book Charles Ives and the Classical Tradition written by Geoffrey Block and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 1996-01-01 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although Charles Ives has long been viewed as the quintessential American composer, he placed himself in the European classical tradition, drew on it heavily for his aesthetic philosophy and musical techniques, and extended it to create something new. This book illuminates Ives's music by comparing it with that of other composers in Europe and the United States. Edited by two highly regarded Ives scholars, the book begins with essays that examine the influences on Ives of his musical predecessors and concludes with essays that find extensive parallels between Ives and such European contemporaries as Mahler, Schoenberg, Berg, and Stravinsky, whose music he knew little or not at all, but with whom he shared influences and concerns. Taken together, these chapters demonstrate that even apparently strange or distinctively American aspects of Ives's music--from his penchant for quotation to his juxtaposition of disparate styles--have strong precedents and parallels among European composers. Ives emerges as a composer at home in the classical tradition, engaged in exploring the same issues that confronted composers of his generation on both sides of the Atlantic.
Download or read book Pleasure and Meaning in the Classical Symphony written by Melanie Lowe and published by Indiana University Press. This book was released on 2007-02-07 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Classical music permeates contemporary life. Encountered in waiting rooms, movies, and hotel lobbies as much as in the concert hall, perennial orchestral favorites mingle with commercial jingles, video-game soundtracks, and the booming bass from a passing car to form the musical soundscape of our daily lives. In this provocative and ground-breaking study, Melanie Lowe explores why the public instrumental music of late-eighteenth-century Europe has remained accessible, entertaining, and distinctly pleasurable to a wide variety of listeners for over 200 years. By placing listeners at the center of interpretive activity, Pleasure and Meaning in the Classical Symphony offers an alternative to more traditional composer- and score-oriented approaches to meaning in the symphonies of Haydn and Mozart. Drawing from the aesthetics of the Enlightenment, the politics of entertainment, and postmodern notions of pleasure, Lowe posits that the listener's pleasure stems from control over musical meaning. She then explores the widely varying meanings eighteenth-century listeners of different social classes may have constructed during their first and likely only hearing of a work. The methodologies she employs are as varied as her sources -- from musical analysis to the imaginings of three hypothetical listeners. Lowe also explores similarities between the position of the classical symphony in its own time and its position in contemporary American consumer culture. By considering the meanings the mainstream and largely middle-class American public may construct alongside those heard by today's more elite listeners, she reveals the great polysemic potential of this music within our current cultural marketplace. She suggests that we embrace "crosstalk" between performances of this music and its myriad uses in film, television, and other mediated contexts to recover the pleasure of listening to this repertory. In so doing, we surprisingly regain something of the classical symphony's historical ways of meaning.

Download or read book Music and the Making of a New South written by Gavin James Campbell and published by Univ of North Carolina Press. This book was released on 2005-12-15 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Startled by rapid social changes at the turn of the twentieth century, citizens of Atlanta wrestled with fears about the future of race relations, the shape of gender roles, the impact of social class, and the meaning of regional identity in a New South. Gavin James Campbell demonstrates how these anxieties were played out in Atlanta's popular musical entertainment. Examining the period from 1890 to 1925, Campbell focuses on three popular musical institutions: the New York Metropolitan Opera (which visited Atlanta each year), the Colored Music Festival, and the Georgia Old-Time Fiddlers' Convention. White and black audiences charged these events with deep significance, Campbell argues, turning an evening's entertainment into a struggle between rival claimants for the New South's soul. Opera, spirituals, and fiddling became popular not just because they were entertaining, but also because audiences found them flexible enough to accommodate a variety of competing responses to the challenges of making a New South. Campbell shows how attempts to inscribe music with a single, public, fixed meaning were connected to much larger struggles over the distribution of social, political, cultural, and economic power. Attitudes about music extended beyond the concert hall to simultaneously enrich and impoverish both the region and the nation that these New Southerners struggled to create.
