Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Story of Symphony Weingartner's Symphony Writers since Beethoven carries on the story up to recent times, but more prominence is given in this to German compositions than to the equally, if not more, important works of the Russian and other schools. The nearest approach to a complete work on the subject is Sir Hubert Parry's masterly article in Grove's Dictionary, which treats exhaustively of the history of the symphony up to the time of Brahms. But in this, again, more modern composers obtain but slight consideration. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Symphony Since Beethoven IF in wandering through some Alpine valley, while we were standing awestruck before a colossal mountain, whose snow - crowned peak rose shim mering in the distance, and we were perhaps deem ing that man happy whose courage and strength were great enough to carry him over this peak to enjoy the view beyond, when suddenly our medi tations were interrupted by a voice at our side saying in all seriousness, I am going to climb over that mountain into the blue clouds beyond, we would have little doubt but that we were con fronted either by a foolhardy dreamer or a mad man. We would scarcely ridicule the man, but rather look upon his simple faith with eyes of pity. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book The Song That Didn t Die written by Mariesta Dodge Howland Bloom and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-09-22 with total page 72 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Song That Didn't Die: A History of Peoria Symphony Orchestra, 1898-1958 If this were a biography, the first test of its validity would be: how has the protagonist affected the culture of his period and place? Although this is the story of a symphony orchestra and the people who struggled to keep it alive and to bring it to maturity, the question which we strive to answer here is much the same: what has Peoria Symphony accomplished for the city of Peoria, and What is it still accomplishing? And if this story of a valiant and stubborn and persuasive sym phonic song should succeed in revealing to Peorians a source of pride in their city, then, because this is a truly American saga, perhaps it will also prove a source of pride to Americans everywhere.

Download or read book A History of the Symphony written by Jeffrey Langford and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-10-29 with total page 326 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A History of the Symphony: The Grand Genre identifies the underlying cultural factors that have shaped the symphony over the past three hundred years, presenting a unified view of the entire history of the genre. The text goes beyond discussions of individual composers and the stylistic evolution of the genre to address what constitutes a symphony within each historical period, describing how such works fit into the lives of composers and audiences of the time, recognizing that they do not exist in a vacuum but rather as the products of numerous external forces spurring their creation. In three parts, the text proceeds chronologically, drawing connections between musical examples across regions and eras: The Classical Symphony The Romantic Symphony The Symphony in the Modern Era Within this broad chronology—from the earliest Italian symphonies of the 18th century to the most experimental works of the 20th century—discussion of the development of the genre often breaks down along national lines that outline divergent but parallel paths of stylistic growth. In consideration of what is and is not a symphony, musical developments in other genres are presented as they relate to the symphony, genres such as the serenade, the tone poem, and the concert overture. Suitable for a one-semester course as well as a full-year syllabus, and with illustrative musical examples throughout, A History of the Symphony places composers and works in sociological and musical contexts while confronting the fundamental question: What is a symphony?

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The House of Dust: A Symphony The sun goes down in a cold pale flare of light. The trees grow dark: the shadows lean to the east: And lights wink out through the windows, one by one. A clamor of frosty sirens mourns at the night. Pale slate-grey clouds whirl up from the sunken sun. And the wandering one, the inquisitive dreamer of dreams, The eternal asker of answers, stands in the street. And lifts his palms for the first cold ghost of rain. The purple lights leap down the hill before him. The gorgeous night has begun again. 'I will ask them all, I will ask them all their dreams, I will hold my light above them and seek their faces. I will hear them whisper, invisible in their veins...' The eternal asker of answers becomes as the darkness, Or as a wind blown over a myriad forest, Or as the numberless voices of long-drawn rains.

Little is here told of the lives of the masters; of a composer's ancestry, of the painful scale of his career, even of the date of his works. Con crete events have, in themselves, no place. And yet, it is believed, instead of a loss, there is in this very omission a great gain of per sonal interest, of insight into the essence of a master's individual quality, of his poetic character.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Boston Symphony Orchestra: An Historical Sketch T is to be said at the outset that this book is not the work of a musical critic, but of an editor and annalist. The task has been to con struct from a considerable body of record the story of the Orchestra. Much of the material especially in papers relating to Mr. Higginson's more personal dealings with the enterprise - has never been in print before. Much has been found also in the bound volumes of newspaper clippings about the Orchestra brought together by Mr. Allen A. Brown and preserved in the Allen A. Brown Collection at the Boston Public Library. The critical passages drawn from this source, in their reflection of the local musical opinion of the Orchestra in its successive stages, are believed to contribute an important element to the record. To Miss Barbara Duncan, custodian of the Allen A. Brown Collection, the author is indebted for. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
