Download or read book Three Chamber Works for Piano and Strings written by John Knowles Paine and published by A-R Editions, Inc.. This book was released on 1991-01-01 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "John Knowles Paine (1839–1906) was among the first American composers successfully to pattern his works afer mid-century European models, in particular, those favored and taught in German and German-American circles. Although his orchestral, choral, piano, and organ music has become better known through modern publications, his chamber music has remained largely untapped. Presented in this edition are three works: the sonata for piano and violin, op. 24; the Romanza and Humoreske for piano and cello, op. 30; and the Larghetto and Humoreske for piano, violin, and cello, op. 32. All the music in this volume is published here for the first time. Representative of Paine's middle and later style periods, these works were performed frequently and subjected to major revisions. This edition is based on the latest autographs and includes references to revisions of earlier versions" --

Download or read book Disciplining Music written by Katherine Bergeron and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 1992-06-30 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Provocative and timely, Disciplining Music confronts a topic that has sparked considerable debate in recent years: how do musicians and music scholars "discipline" music in their efforts to confer order and meaning on it? This collection of essays addresses this issue by formulating questions about music's canons—rules that measure and order, negotiate cultural constraints, reconstruct the past, and shape the future. Written by scholars representing the fields of historical musicology, ethnomusicology, and music theory, many of the essays tug and push at the very boundaries of these traditional division within the study of music. "Fortunately, in a blaze of good-humored . . . scholarship, [this] book helps brains unaccustomed to thinking about the future without jeopardizing the past imagine the wonder classical-music life might become if it embraced all people and all musics."—Laurence Vittes, Los Angeles Reader "These essays will force us to rethink our position on many issues. . . [and] advance musicology into the twenty-first century."—Giulio Ongaro, American Music Teacher With essays by Katherine Bergeron, Philip V. Bohlman, Richard Cohn and Douglas Dempster, Philip Gossett, Robert P. Morgan, Bruno Nettl, Don Michael Randel, Ruth A. Solie, and Gary Tomlinson.
Download or read book Music of the Colonial and Revolutionary Era written by John Ogasapian and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2004-10-30 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The colonial days of America marked not only the beginnings of a country, but also of a new culture, part of which was the first American music publishers, entrepreneurs, and instrument makers forging musical communities from New England to New Spain. Elements of British, Spanish, German, Scots-Irish, and Native American music all contributed to the many cultures and subcultures of the early nation. While English settlers largely sought to impose their own culture in the new land, the adaptation of native music by Spanish settlers provided an important cultural intersection. The music of the Scots-Irish in the middle colonies planted the seeds of a folk ballad tradition. In New England, the Puritans developed a surprisingly rich—and recreational—musical culture. At the same time, the Regular Singing Movement attempted to reduce the role of the clergy in religious services. More of a cultural examination than a music theory book, this work provides vastly informative narrative chapters on early American music and its role in colonial and Revolutionary culture. Chapter bibliographies, a timeline, and a subject index offer additional resources for readers. The American History through Music series examines the many different types of music prevalent throughout U.S. history, as well as the roles these music types have played in American culture. John Ogasapian's volume on the Colonial and Revolutionary period applies this cultural focus to the music of America's infancy and illuminates the surprisingly complex relationships in music of that time.
Download or read book Henry Cowell written by Joel Sachs and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2012-07-09 with total page 619 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Joel Sachs offers the first complete biography of one of the most influential figures in twentieth-century American music. Henry Cowell, a major musical innovator of the first half of the century, left a rich body of compositions spanning a wide range of styles. But as Sachs shows, Cowell's legacy extends far beyond his music. He worked tirelessly to create organizations such as the highly influential New Music Quarterly, New Music Recordings, and the Pan-American Association of Composers, through which great talents like Ruth Crawford Seeger and Charles Ives first became known in the US and abroad. As one of the first Western advocates for World Music, he used lectures, articles, and recordings to bring other musical cultures to myriad listeners and students including John Cage and Lou Harrison, who attributed their life work to Cowell's influence. Finally, Sachs describes the tragedy of Cowell's life, being sentenced to fifteen years in San Quentin -- of which he served four -- after pleading guilty to a morals charge that even the prosecutor felt was trivial. Providing a wealth of insight into Cowell's ideas and philosophy, Joel Sachs lays out a much-needed perspective on one of the giants of twentieth-century American music.
