Download or read book The Muse that Sings written by Ann McCutchan and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 2003 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Muse That Sings is a unique behind-the-scenes look at both twentieth-century music and the nuts and bolts of creative work. Here, twenty-five of America's leading composers--from Adams to Zorn, from Bolcom to Vierk--talk candidly about their craft, their motivations, their difficulties, and how they how proceed from musical idea to finished composition. While focusing on the process and the stories behind specific works, the composers also touch on topics that will interest anyone involved in creative work. They discuss teachers and mentors, the task of revision, relationships with performers, and the ongoing struggle for a balance between freedom and discipline. They reveal sources of inspiration, artistic goals, and the often unexpected ways their musical ideas develop. Some describe personal tonal systems; others discuss the impact of computers and other electronic tools on their work; still others reflect philosophically on the inner impulses and outer influences that continue to drive them. While serious music has a reputation for being difficult and inaccessible, The Muse That Sings provides a powerful antidote. The composers in this book speak clearly and thoughtfully in response to key questions of concern to all readers interested in contemporary music. Each interview has been edited to stand alone as a concise meditation on muse and technique, and the book includes selected discographies as well as brief biographical sketches. Anyone with an interest in twentieth-century music or in the creative process will find this lively collection a valuable source of inspiration and insight.

Download or read book The Singing Shepherd written by Rich Parlee and published by Author House. This book was released on 2005-12-21 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Singing Shepherd has a familiar theme - an ancient people, happy and self-satisfied but threatened by a ruthless foe. They had made the common mistake of blindly trusting an unworthy, ambitious leader, only to find disaster staring them in the face. The tale reacts angrily to the spirit of our age whose monumental conceit has never been equaled in history; an age dangerously reliant on its overrated ''inner resources'' and blind to its desperate need have help from outside its closed little systems. The tale chafes at these systems of terrifying subtlety and effectiveness - like the media - as they place twisted concepts directly into vulnerable minds. There is little in this story for those who believe that life can be lived without battles. Politically correct sensibilities may be offended and outraged by the characters in conflict in The Singing Shepherd. But folks who know that there can be no peace without war against the evil inside and outside will find the story encouraging, maybe even inspiring. The tale does not situate itself exactly in time. That it happened long ago is obvious, and this will have to suffice. It cannot be called fiction, for the stories are taken from history and headlines. Though you won''t find Shal-Aman mentioned by name in the textbooks, though Moshalim the Seer, Baladan the boy king and Adriella, his fiery fiancée are not in Who''s Who, they did exist; they are real. You will recognize them; you may well find them inside your own head and in today’s world. The heroes in this tale are seriously flawed, but this will only endear them to you because this story holds out to the world a hope that goes beyond the resources of human nature. It reaches up to The One who, in the end, is our only real hope. Wherever it takes you, enjoy the journey!

Download or read book Singing and Suffering with the Servant written by David M. Stark and published by Vandenhoeck & Ruprecht. This book was released on 2022-10-10 with total page 314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Old Testament is transformed from problem to ally when preachers attend to power at work in ancient and modern contexts by mirroring Second Isaiah's proclamation, listening to contemporary servant Israel, and learning from African American preaching in context of domination. This book analyses the impact of domination on Old Testament proclamation and thus leads to several unique contributions. Firstly, it reads Second Isaiah as a homiletic model for proclaiming older (pre-exilic) texts in response to exilic domination. Secondly, it treats the Old Testament as a rich resource for confronting racism and anti-Semitism though teaching and it introduces contemporary Christian-Jewish dialogue in Germany as a model for the Church. Lastly, it highlights preaching traditions within the African American Church as instructive for formulating an effective Old Testament preaching strategy.
