Download or read book Let s Make An Opera An Entertainment For Young People In Three Acts written by Eric Crozier and published by Read Books Ltd. This book was released on 2016-09-19 with total page 116 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “The Little Sweep” is a three-scene opera aimed at children written by the English composer Benjamin Britten, with a libretto by Eric Crozier. It is the second part of “Let's Make an Opera!”, the first part being a play within which the cast assume the roles of amateur performers planning, creating, and practicing the opera. This volume is ideal for introducing children to the operatic genre, and it is not to be missed by fans of Britten's fantastic work. Edward Benjamin Britten, Baron Britten OM CH (1913 – 1976) was an English conductor, composer, and pianist. He was a significant figure in 20th-century British classical music, and is not famous for “Peter Grimes” (1945), the “War Requiem” (1962) and “The Young Person's Guide to the Orchestra” (1945). Many vintage books such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive. We are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with the original text and artwork.

Although, as the title suggests, this book concentrates on Britten's operatic output, Mr White's account offers insights into the whole range of this prodigious composer's music.

Download or read book Opera and Modern Culture written by Lawrence Kramer and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2004 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Outstanding. Kramer's scholarship is as impeccable as his insights are at once original and consistently brilliant. The presentation is thorough, and the argument is well anchored in theory, history and musical detail. Kramer's discourse is crystalline and jargon free. The connections from one chapter to another are seamless. The story is, simply stated, a page-turner."—Richard Leppert, editor of Theodor W. Adorno's Essays on Music "Lawrence Kramer's Opera and Modern Culture is remarkable both for its imaginative exploration of important issues and for the rich array of the author's engagements with other thinkers. In particular, by decentering without dismissing the composer (who could dismiss Wagner?), he makes works of reception—productions of Salome on video, uses of the Lohengrin Prelude by Charlie Chaplin and W.E.B. Du Bois—central texts in the process of understanding the phenomenon of opera, rather than footnotes to an idea that he really does dismiss: 'the work itself.'"—James Parakilas, author of Piano Roles: 300 Years of Life with the Piano and Introduction to Opera (forthcoming)
