Book excerpt: "This book is built around interviews that Luis E. Loubriel conducted with Vincent Cichowicz and his most successful disciples over thirteen years, woven together with Loubriel's own analysis, and organized according to the central themes of Cichowicz's methodology. Although Cichowicz developed no rigid, one-size-fits-all system--indeed, his special talent was for custom tailoring his teaching to the needs of each student--certain fundamentals tenets informed all of his teaching. This book memorializes those tenets through the words of the master himself and some of his exemplary proteges. As such, it represents a significant contribution to contemporary understandings of trumpet pedagogy, and brass pedagogy in general"--Publisher's website.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Companion to Music in the Age of the Catholic Monarchs, edited by Tess Knighton, offers a major new study that deepens and enriches our understanding of the forms and functions of music that flourished in late medieval Spanish society. The fifteen essays, written by leading authorities in the field, present a synthesis based on recently discovered material that throws new light on different aspects of musical life during the reign of Ferdinand and Isabel (1474-1516): sacred and secular music-making in royal and aristocratic circles; the cathedral music environment; liturgy and power; musical connections with Rome, Portugal and the New World; theoretical and unwritten musical practices; women as patrons and performers; and the legacy of Jewish musical tradition.

Download or read book William Blake Selected Poems written by William Blake and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2019-01-25 with total page 513 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'To see a World in a Grain of Sand 'And a Heaven in a Wild Flower Hold Infinity in the palm of your hand And Eternity in an hour' William Blake wrote some of the most moving and memorable verse in the English language. Deeply committed to visionary and imaginative experience, yet also fiercely engaged with the turbulent politics of his era, he is now recognised as a major contributor to the Romantic Movement. This edition presents Blake's poems in their literary categories and genres to which they belong: his much-loved lyrics, ballads, comic and satirical verse, descriptive and discursive poems, verse epistles, and, finally, his remarkable 'prophetic' poems, including the whole of his two diffuse epics, Milton and Jerusalem. Blake's poetry is intellectually challenging as well as formally inventive, and this edition has a substantial critical introduction which places his ideas in the contemporary context of the Enlightenment and the artistic reaction against its key assumptions.

Download or read book Vis es written by William Blake and published by Iluminuras. This book was released on 2020-10-23 with total page 593 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Talvez o poeta mais original da literatura inglesa, William Blake foi uma espécie de símbolo das manifestações socioculturais dos anos 1960 e 1970. Ao lado da psicologia de Carl Jung e Sigmund Freud, da filosofia e da religião orientais, das experiências da geração beat e do flower-power, via-se em sua poesia a expressão de uma nova era de Aquário, a rejeição de uma ordem mundial fundada no materialismo em detrimento da espiritualidade. Passado meio século, aquelas manifestações são história, ou adquiriram outras formas, mas a ordem mundial permanece, de ponta-cabeça, mais materialista e mais bruta. E a poesia de Blake continua instigante expressão dos valores humanos, ainda mais relevante. Visões assinala essa relevância: reúne onze livros que Blake publicou de 1789 a 1795, com os quais procura evidenciar a coerência do essencial da obra e afastar a distorcida percepção de insanidade do autor. Os poemas testemunham a formação e o amadurecimento de sua visão de mundo, num fértil período de quase sete anos, quando na casa dos trinta: aqui o leitor encontra dos poemas líricos das Canções de Inocência e Experiência até o que se convencionou chamar de "profecias menores". A partir de 1794, Blake embarcou na sequência dos poemas-profecias menores, que o prepararam para os maiores (Milton e Jerusalem, escritos e gravados quase ao mesmo tempo entre 1804 e 1820). O primeiro deles é Europa, uma Profecia, uma narrativa política, seguido de O Livro de Urizen. A Canção de Los, O Livro de Ahania e O Livro de Los, todos de 1795, compõem a "Bíblia do Inferno" prometida em O Matrimônio do Céu e do Inferno: "Possuo também A Bíblia do Inferno, que o mundo há de possuir, quer queira, quer não". O escritor Anthony Burgess disse com clareza: "A razão, na verdade, é perigosa, assim como é a ciência; se todos nós vivermos num estado de liberdade individual plena, despreocupados com as leis, confiando no poder da percepção e, num nível inferior, no instinto, alcançaremos o céu na terra, que Blake chama de Jerusalém no prefácio de Milton". Na terminologia blakeana, alcança-se a plenitude espiritual através da imaginação. "Se as portas da percepção estivessem limpas, tudo se mostraria ao homem tal como é: infinito." Pouco lido e ignorado por seus contemporâneos, Blake foi "descoberto" vinte anos após sua morte, em 1827, quando impressões tipográficas dos poemas começaram a aparecer. Mas jamais foi popular, sempre foi controverso, mesmo entre outros poetas. Thomas Stearns Eliot, por exemplo, reconheceu nele uma "honestidade contra a qual o mundo inteiro conspira, porque é desagradável. A poesia de Blake tem o desagrado da grande poesia". Quase um elogio, porque, para Eliot, essa honestidade era limitada por sua falta de educação literária, o que o tornava um "ingênuo". Blake, concluiu Eliot, tinha "uma notável e original sensibilidade para a língua e a musicalidade da língua, e o dom da visão alucinada. Se estes tivessem sido controlados por um respeito pela razão impessoal, teria sido melhor para ele". Faltava a seu gênio "uma estrutura de ideias tradicionais e reconhecidas que lhe teriam impedido de entregar-se a uma filosofia própria, e assim concentrasse a atenção nos problemas do poeta. [...] A concentração resultante dessa estrutura de mitologia, teologia e filosofia é uma das razões pelas quais Dante é um clássico, e Blake apenas um poeta de gênio". Eliot falava em defesa das tradições latinas, a seu ver fundamentais para a cultura do Ocidente, ciente de que eram exatamente o que Blake rechaçava — e no entanto, dogmático, deu o veredito. Blake decerto não lhe teria dado ouvidos. "A verdade jamais será dita de modo compreensível sem que nela se creia. Suficiente! ou Demasiado."
Download or read book The Complete Illuminated Books of William Blake Unabridged With All The Original Illustrations written by William Blake and published by DigiCat. This book was released on 2023-11-18 with total page 808 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This carefully crafted ebook: "The Complete Illuminated Books of William Blake (Unabridged - With All The Original Illustrations)" is formatted for your eReader with a functional and detailed table of contents. Taking his inspiration from the illuminated manuscripts of the middle ages, Blake invented the process of creating Illuminated Books. Between 1788 and early 1795 Blake published a series of fifteen Illuminated Books. He returned to creating Illuminated Books in 1804 when he began work on Milton (finished in 1808 or later) and Jerusalem. Blake committed himself in the minute particulars of producing his Illuminated Books. The process included creating a mental image, drawing, composing the design and poetry of the plate, engraving, printing, painting, compiling and selling. From inception to final production the color copy of Jerusalem was labored over for sixteen years. William Blake (1757 – 1827) was a British poet, painter, visionary mystic, and engraver, who illustrated and printed his own books. Blake proclaimed the supremacy of the imagination over the rationalism and materialism of the 18th-century. Largely unrecognised during his lifetime, Blake is now considered a seminal figure in the history of both the poetry and visual arts of the Romantic Age.
Download or read book Minstrels and Minstrelsy in Late Medieval England written by Richard Rastall and published by Boydell & Brewer. This book was released on 2023-04-04 with total page 477 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A major new study piecing together the intriguing but fragmentary evidence surrounding the lives of minstrels to highlight how these seemingly peripheral figures were keenly involved with all aspects of late medieval communities. Minstrels were a common sight and sound in the late Middle Ages. Aristocrats, knights and ladies heard them on great occasions (such as Edward I's wedding feast for his daughter Elizabeth in 1296) and in quieter moments in their chambers; town-dwellers heard and saw them in civic processions (when their sound drew attention to the spectacle); and even in the countryside people heard them at weddings, church-ales and other parish celebrations. But who were the minstrels, and what did they do? How did they live, and how easily did they make a living? How did they perform, and in what conditions? The evidence is intriguing but fragmentary, including literary and iconographic sources and, most importantly, the financial records of royal and aristocratic households and of towns. These offer many insights, although they are often hard to fit into any coherent picture of the minstrels' lives and their place in society. It is easy to see the minstrels as peripheral figures, entertainers who had no central place in the medieval world. Yet they were full members of it, interacting with the ordinary people around them, as well as with the ruling classes: carrying letters and important verbal messages, some lending huge sums of money to the king (to finance Henry V's Agincourt campaign in 1415, for instance), some regular and necessary civic servants, some committing crimes or suffering the crimes of others. In this book Rastall and Taylor bring to bear the available evidence to enlarge and enrich our view of the minstrel in late medieval society.
