Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History of Music, Vol. 1 An attack was made thirty years ago on the assertion that Handel was not only a sacred composer, but was especially the founder of the epic element in music. It is, therefore, very satisfactory to observe the extent to which the truth of that assertion is now generally admitted this can also be said of the admission of the proof that the invention of the opera at Florence was due to a Tuscan School.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Narrative History of Music, Vol. 1: Book I, the Pre-Classic Periods So many and varied are the paths of musical enjoy ment and profit opened out in the following pages, so different and sometimes so conflicting are the types of art represented there, that the timid or inexperienced reader may well pause at the threshold, afraid of wholly losing his way in such a labyrinth. He may hesitate to trust himself in so unfamiliar a landscape without first seeing some sort of small-scale plan of the ground, which, omitting the confusing details, shows in bold relief only the larger and essential divisions - the 'lay of the land.'

Download or read book The History of Music Vol 1 written by W. Chappell and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-25 with total page 500 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Author Chappell's intent with The History of Music (Art and Science): Volume One - From the Earliest Records to the Fall of the Roman Empire was to produce a complete history of music. Beginning with the earliest evidence of music, which largely comes from the Greeks, Chappel attempts to trace the development of the art through to modern day. Volume One, presented here, traces the history of music until the fifth century. The book actually opens where many works conclude, with a detailed glossary and explanatory index. From there, Chappel begins his historical examination in earnest. Opening chapters highlight the early Greek system of music, the three-stringed lyre of Egypt, the development of harmonies, and the earliest uses of music. Later chapters discuss early designs of instruments and the importance of music in the Roman Empire. The volume concludes with a brief section of notes and addendums. The History of Music is a noble effort at documenting the history of the art, Chappell is clearly a well-researched and knowledgeable writer. The work includes a fair amount of technical analysis, and thus is best read by an individual with some knowledge of the principals of music theory. Chappell's first volume in his series The History of Music is a well-written and worthy attempt at documenting the early history of the development of music. Students of history, particularly those interested in music history, will certainly find this to be a fascinating work.

Download or read book The History of Music Vol 4 Classic Reprint written by Emil Naumann and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-08-06 with total page 348 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History of Music, Vol. 4 Not even the excellent master Heinrich Schutz can be credited with so universal and intimate acquaintance with contemporary musical theory and practice. That he well-nigh succeeded in fusing the teachings of the two chief schools of his time is indeed remarkable, and singles him out from the crowd of his contemporaries; yet, put in juxtaposition with our six great masters, he cannot be said' to have reached their level either in the ideal world or in the creation of new forms, although what he did prepared the way for them in a very glorious manner. To us, each of this noble six is the discoverer of new lands in the world of tonal art, on which but few uncultivated portions remain for their successors to till and fructify. The style of Bach, Handel, Gluck, Haydn, Mozart, and Beethoven was grounded on the intensest objectivity, whilst that of their great, talented followers is of a subjective nature, united to a more or less interestingly developed musical manner. The great German tone-poets, dating from the beginning of the last century, fall naturally into two divisions, the first of which may fittingly be described as representing The epoch of German genius, and the second The epoch Of the great talents.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History of Music: A Handbook and Guide for Students While the ideal scope of the subject is thus wide, the field of a particular written history is at once less and more. It is less, because it is utterly impossible to compress into a Single book all the facts. It is more, because the practical historian must be something of a critic as he works, selecting certain groups of facts for emphasis, classifying them under logical heads, and seeking at every point to keep what he conceives to be of special importance in the foreground.
