This book was released on 2015-01-01 with total page 102 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La scoperta di questa azione pedagogica che l'associazione Tempo Reale ha nominato Gamelan 01 è stata per me come per molti un'illuminazione. Ci sono, come in questo caso, nella ricerca, dei lavori che hanno aperto una porta: c'è un prima e un dopo. Questa realizzazione collettiva, diretta da Stefano Luca e Michele Tadini, risolveva un problema che si poneva ad un'educazione musicale fondata sull'esperienza di creazione: come passare dall'esplorazione sonora della prima infanzia, che è il punto di partenza della creazione e dell'espressione musicale, alla composizione, che è uno dei punti di arrivo tra i più ambiziosi. Era necessario lanciare una passerella tra queste due estremità del percorso creativo, trovare la strada che guida dalle prime scoperte sonore, con la bocca e con la mano, alla creazione degli adolescenti che trovano nel computer uno strumento che li affascina. La continuità è d'ora in avanti assicurata, la via è aperta. Dalla prefazione di François Delalande.
Download or read book The Language of Stravinsky written by Angelo Cantoni and published by Georg Olms Verlag. This book was released on 2014-10-31 with total page 506 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ein neuer methodischer Zugriff charakterisiert Angelo Cantonis mehr als 40 Jahre nach Stravinskijs Tod entstandene Schrift The Language of Stravinsky. Darin geht es sowohl um die einzelnen Werke als auch um die Entwicklung von Stravinskijs Tonsprache während der gesamten Schaffenszeit. Hauptziele der Arbeit sind die Gesamtanalyse von Kompositionen sowie der Nachweis einer die verschiedenen Schaffensphasen, die Stilvielfalt, die wechselnden Besetzungen und den Wandel musiktheatralischer Gattungen übergreifenden Kohärenz seiner Musik. Obwohl Stravinskijs Werk oftmals in drei verschiedene Stilperioden – die russische, die neoklassizistische und die serielle – untergliedert wird, zeichnet es sich durch gemeinsame Konstruktionsprinzipien einer ureigenen Tonsprache aus. Die Analysen legen deren grundlegende Elemente und ihre Grammatik offen. Jedes der acht Kapitel des Buches ist auf einen Aspekt der Tonsprache Stravinskijs fokussiert, jeweils in der Abfolge der Chronologie der Werke. Aus diesem Grund werden dieselben Kompositionen in mehreren Kapiteln unter verschiedener Perspektive untersucht. Auf diese Weise ergeben sich ganz wesentliche neue Einsichten zum Gesamtschaffen Stravinskijs. The Language of Stravinsky proposes new methods of looking at Stravinsky’s work, more than 40 years after his death. It considers both his individual compositions and the evolution of his work over his lifetime. The main purpose of the book is to analyse and clarify the inner coherence of Stravinsky’s music, despite the wide variety of styles, instrumental combinations and theatrical modes with which he worked. Though his career is often seen as falling into three distinct periods – Russian, Neoclassical and Serial – his work as a whole is threaded through with a language unique to himself as a composer. The analysis presented in this account identifies the basic elements and grammar of this underlying musical language. Each of the eight chapters of the book focuses on one aspect of Stravinsky’s musical language, followed chronologically within that chapter. The same works are therefore often studied in different chapters, looked at from a different musical perspective. This analysis of Stravinsky’s music over time provides major new insights into his work.

Download or read book A History of the World in 12 Maps written by Jerry Brotton and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2014-10-28 with total page 547 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A New York Times Bestseller “Maps allow the armchair traveler to roam the world, the diplomat to argue his points, the ruler to administer his country, the warrior to plan his campaigns and the propagandist to boost his cause… rich and beautiful.” – Wall Street Journal Throughout history, maps have been fundamental in shaping our view of the world, and our place in it. But far from being purely scientific objects, maps of the world are unavoidably ideological and subjective, intimately bound up with the systems of power and authority of particular times and places. Mapmakers do not simply represent the world, they construct it out of the ideas of their age. In this scintillating book, Jerry Brotton examines the significance of 12 maps - from the almost mystical representations of ancient history to the satellite-derived imagery of today. He vividly recreates the environments and circumstances in which each of the maps was made, showing how each conveys a highly individual view of the world. Brotton shows how each of his maps both influenced and reflected contemporary events and how, by considering it in all its nuances and omissions, we can better understand the world that produced it. Although the way we map our surroundings is more precise than ever before, Brotton argues that maps today are no more definitive or objective than they have ever been. Readers of this beautifully illustrated and masterfully argued book will never look at a map in quite the same way again. “A fascinating and panoramic new history of the cartographer’s art.” – The Guardian “The intellectual background to these images is conveyed with beguiling erudition…. There is nothing more subversive than a map.” – The Spectator “A mesmerizing and beautifully illustrated book.” —The Telegraph

Download or read book Musical Haptics written by Stefano Papetti and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-05-02 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Open Access book offers an original interdisciplinary overview of the role of haptic feedback in musical interaction. Divided into two parts, part I examines the tactile aspects of music performance and perception, discussing how they affect user experience and performance in terms of usability, functionality and perceived quality of musical instruments. Part II presents engineering, computational, and design approaches and guidelines that have been applied to render and exploit haptic feedback in digital musical interfaces. Musical Haptics introduces an emerging field that brings together engineering, human-computer interaction, applied psychology, musical aesthetics, and music performance. The latter, defined as the complex system of sensory-motor interactions between musicians and their instruments, presents a well-defined framework in which to study basic psychophysical, perceptual, and biomechanical aspects of touch, all of which will inform the design of haptic musical interfaces. Tactile and proprioceptive cues enable embodied interaction and inform sophisticated control strategies that allow skilled musicians to achieve high performance and expressivity. The use of haptic feedback in digital musical interfaces is expected to enhance user experience and performance, improve accessibility for disabled persons, and provide an effective means for musical tuition and guidance.

Download or read book Rubric Nation written by Michelle Tenam-Zemach and published by IAP. This book was released on 2015-04-01 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What is a rubric and how are they being used in teacher education and evaluation? When did rubrics become ubiquitous in the field of education? What impact do rubrics have on students, teachers, teacher educators, and the educational enterprise? This book is an edited volume of essays that critically examine the phenomenon of rubrics in teacher education, evaluation and education more broadly. Rubrics have seen a dramatic rise in use and presence over the past twenty-five years in colleges of education and districts across the country. Although there is a wealth of literature about how to make rubrics, there is scant literature that explores the strengths and weaknesses of rubrics and the impact the rubric phenomenon is having in reshaping education. The chapters included in this edited volume will critically reflect on the contemporary contexts of rubrics and the uses and impact of rubrics in education. Since rubrics have become indelible in education, it is necessary for a fuller, nuanced discussion of the phenomenon. Creating a book that explores these aspects of rubrics is timely and fundamental to expanding the discourse on this ubiquitous evaluation tool. This book is not meant to be a series of chapters dedicated to best practices for creating rubrics, nor is this text meant to present all sides of the rubric discussion. Rather, this text intends to offer critical polemics about rubrics that can spur greater critical discussion about a phenomenon in education that has largely been unquestioned in the literature.
