Download or read book Music of Jorge Morel written by Jorge Morel and published by Mel Bay Publications. This book was released on 2013-09-24 with total page 37 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: These compositions, like most of my music, are of Latin American roots, rhythms and melodies. However, the harmonies always have a jazz influence without losing that Latin flavor. Four of the five pieces in this book are dedications, except Lullaby of Love. I would say I wrote it for myself, and it is the only piece recorded by me on my CD Latin Dialog, released by Luthier Music. My hope with this music is to bring more guitarists closer to the Latin American literature for the guitar that is still much in need of recognition.- Jorge Morel

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recording the Classical Guitar charts the evolution of classical guitar recording practice from the early twentieth century to the present day, encompassing the careers of many of the instrument’s most influential practitioners from acoustic era to the advent of the CD. A key focus is on the ways in which guitarists’ recorded repertoire programmes have shaped the identity of the instrument, particularly where national allegiances and musical aesthetics are concerned. The book also considers the ways in which changing approaches to recording practice have conditioned guitarists’ conceptions of the instrument’s ideal representation in recorded form and situates these in relation to the development of classical music recording aesthetics more generally. An important addition to the growing body of literature in the field of phonomusicology, the book will be of interest to guitarists and producers as well as students of record production and historians of classical music recording.

Download or read book Jorge Morel written by J. Vincent Moran and published by . This book was released on 2019-03-03 with total page 418 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When it comes to the art of classical guitar Jorge Morel is not only a supreme master of the instrument, but a breed apart from others who coveted the guitar and turned it into a career.What makes the Morel difference? In a word: originality. For his was a virtuosity of finger-style genius, which, against odds, carved out success in myriads of highly-acclaimed concerts worldwide. Odds like beating down doors of skepticism without compromise to an independent spirit and presenting original compositions to the un-initiated (who ignored him at their peril!).The Remarkable Journey of a Legendary Guitarist/Composer is the inspirational story of an artist who took the instrument to its limits with an amazing blend of original style and repertoire which, from Bernstein to the Beatles, inspired an entire generation of artists to perform and record his works. En route Morel gave bold impetus to the meaning "my way", creating a legion of admirers even if, ironically, he would for a time remain unheralded in the upper echelons of so-called "purist" classical guitar. Immensely popular in Poland, Jorge Morel was dubbed "Chopin of the Guitar."This 2nd paperback edition, wonderfully illustrated with pictures and original paintings and featuring a foreword by Maurice J. Summerfield, (British guitarist, author and founder of Classical Guitar magazine), is a heart-warming portrait of a self-effacing virtuoso-composer who has dedicated innumerable works to friends and acquaintances for six decades, and whose influence continues to resonate across a grateful guitar world.

Download or read book Finding Afro Mexico written by Theodore W. Cohen and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2020-05-07 with total page 572 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 2015, the Mexican state counted how many of its citizens identified as Afro-Mexican for the first time since independence. Finding Afro-Mexico reveals the transnational interdisciplinary histories that led to this celebrated reformulation of Mexican national identity. It traces the Mexican, African American, and Cuban writers, poets, anthropologists, artists, composers, historians, and archaeologists who integrated Mexican history, culture, and society into the African Diaspora after the Revolution of 1910. Theodore W. Cohen persuasively shows how these intellectuals rejected the nineteenth-century racial paradigms that heralded black disappearance when they made blackness visible first in Mexican culture and then in post-revolutionary society. Drawing from more than twenty different archives across the Americas, this cultural and intellectual history of black visibility, invisibility, and community-formation questions the racial, cultural, and political dimensions of Mexican history and Afro-diasporic thought.

Book excerpt: The Book aims to be a guide through the little universe which is the working place of the man who writes music. As such it talks predominantly to the layman, although the expert composer may also find some stimulation in it... From the center of basic theory our discussion will spread out into all the realms of experience which border the technical aspect on composing, such as aesthetics, sociology, philosphy and so on... We must be grateful that with our art we have been placed halfway between science and religion, enjoying equally the advantages of exactitude in thinking... and of the unlimeted world of faith. Paul Hindemith, from the preface
