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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Play Movement in the United States: A Study of Community Recreation Every period of social advance has been accompanied by the spirit of play. The contem porary generation in our own country is no exception to that rule. Industrial developments, immigration, the growth of the democratic spirit in education and in economics as well as in gov ernment have not characterized the present age more than have amateur sports, commercialized amusements, and socialized art. Eighty thousand people have witnessed a single football contest, ninety thousand a prize fight, while baseball has become the American game and athletics a recognized feature of both high school and col lege life. Few cities are now without municipal bands, orchestras, or auditoriums, as well as swimming pools and public golf links. The mu nicipal pier of Chicago extends into the lake three quarters of a mile and terminates in a magnifi cent auditorium seating five thousand and dedi cated to amateur dramatic and musical expres sion. Transcontinental automobile routes out number the railroads, the motion picture industry is fifth in the United States, while it is estimated that the population of our second largest city alone expends two hundred fifty million dollars annually in leisure-time pursuits.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Whether consciously molding the city through the construction of public spaces or developing social ties through organizations such as athletic clubs, Bostonians of all classes participated in recreation-based community building, often at cross-purposes. Elite Bostonians, for instance, promoted the establishment of parks as a healthy alternative to unsavory activities, such as drinking and gambling, that they associated with the city's vast new pool of immigrants. They were soon forced to compromise, however, with citizens who were less interested in the rhetoric of moral uplift than in using the parks for competitive athletics and commercial amusements."--BOOK JACKET.

This book was released on 2017-01-14 with total page 66 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Playground Movement in America and Its Relation to Public Education The year 1900 roughly marks the second period of growth. The Playground Associations with their many friends now had their grounds well organised and in full swing. Four or five years' work had driven home one fact, namely, that a space in which to play does not make a playground. The realisation of this fact removes the first and greatest stumbling block, as any playground worker in America will testify, and the Associations spent their dollars, not on expensive equipment, but on good play leaders. From this time onward the movement was an established success, for it stood by results. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
