This book was released on with total page 572 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The music of the peoples of South and Central America, Mexico, and the Caribbean is treated with unprecedented breadth in this multi-volume work. Taking a sociocultural and human-centered approach, Music in Latin America and the Caribbean gathers the best scholarship from writers all over the world to cover in depth the musical legacies of indigenous peoples, creoles, African descendants, Iberian colonizers, and other immigrant groups that met and mixed in the New World. From these texts, music emerges as the powerful tool that negotiates identities, enacts resistance, performs beliefs, and challenges received aesthetics. More than two decades in the making, this work privileges the perspectives of cultural insiders and emphasizes the role that music plays in human life. Volume 2, Performing the Caribbean Experience, focuses on the reconfiguration of this complex soundscape after the Conquest and on the strategies by which groups from distant worlds reconstructed traditions, assigning new meanings to fragments of memory and welding a fascinating variety of unique Creole cultures. Shaped by an enduring African presence and the experience of slavery and colonization by the Spanish, French, British, and Dutch, peoples of the Caribbean islands and circum-Caribbean territories resorted to the power of music to mirror their history, assert identity, gain freedom, and transcend their experience in lasting musical messages. Essays on pan-Caribbean themes, surveys of traditions, and riveting personal accounts capture the essence of pluralistic and spiritualized brands of creativity through the voices of an unprecedented number of Caribbean authors, including a representative contingent of distinguished Cuban scholars whose work is being published in English translation for the first time in this book. Two CDs with 52 recorded examples illustrate the contributions to this volume.

Download or read book My Music Is My Flag written by Ruth Glasser and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 1995-05-02 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Puerto Rican music in New York is given center stage in Ruth Glasser's original and lucid study. Exploring the relationship between the social history and forms of cultural expression of Puerto Ricans, she focuses on the years between the two world wars. Her material integrates the experiences of the mostly working-class Puerto Rican musicians who struggled to make a living during this period with those of their compatriots and the other ethnic groups with whom they shared the cultural landscape. Through recorded songs and live performances, Puerto Rican musicians were important representatives for the national consciousness of their compatriots on both sides of the ocean. Yet they also played with African-American and white jazz bands, Filipino or Italian-American orchestras, and with other Latinos. Glasser provides an understanding of the way musical subcultures could exist side by side or even as a part of the mainstream, and she demonstrates the complexities of cultural nationalism and cultural authenticity within the very practical realm of commercial music. Illuminating a neglected epoch of Puerto Rican life in America, Glasser shows how ethnic groups settling in the United States had choices that extended beyond either maintenance of their homeland traditions or assimilation into the dominant culture. Her knowledge of musical styles and performance enriches her analysis, and a discography offers a helpful addition to the text.

Download or read book Women Composers written by Martha Furman Schleifer and published by G. K. Hall. This book was released on 1999 with total page 600 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The twenty-four composers included in Volume 6 of "Women Composers: Music Through the Ages, Keyboard Music" were born between 1800 and 1899. Music by some of these women will also appear in Volumes 7 (vocal/choral music) and 8 (large and small instrumental ensembles). The works originate from eleven countries: France (five women), the United States (five women), England (four women), Germany (three women), and one each from Hungary, the Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Puerto Rico, Scotland, and Spain. The compositions include music for solo piano, four-hand piano, two pianos, and organ; music in large genres (sonatas and suites) and small forms (etudes, preludes, fugues, waltzes, an impromptu, a pastorale, a romanza, a fanfare, rags, variations, plaintes, and other forms of program music). Eleven composers belonged to musical families: Hensel, Schumann, Boulanger, Menter, Charninade, Hodges, Rogers, Otero, Aufderheide, Pejacevic, and Carreno. Previously unpublished music by four of the better known women -- Hensel, Schumann, Landowska, and Carreno -- appears in print here for the first time. Progress, noted for women composers in the eighteenth century, continues in the nineteenth century as music education becomes more available to them. Women begin to win prizes: Lili Boulanger won the Prix de Rome, Cecile Chaminade won several awards and was the first woman admitted to the Legion of Honor; and Louise Farrenc won the Prix Chartier twice. Several of the women became role models for younger musicians: Amy Beach through Mrs. Beach Clubs for teachers and students, and Mana-Zucca as a patron of the arts who promoted young and established performers in a concert series in her home inFlorida. In this volume, music by French women includes a set of variations on a Russian air by Louise Farrenc; a group of short works for one piano and waltzes for piano four-hands by Marie Jaell; and a "Pastorale" by the only female member of "Les Six," Germaine Tailleferre. Three beautiful miniatures by Lili Boulanger, sister of Nadia (both daughters and granddaughters of composers), and a sonata by Cecile Chaminade completes the group of French composers. United States composer Amy Beach's two "Hermit" pieces, based on bird calls, are followed by Mary Howe's two-piano arrangements of two short orchestral works. Music by Mana-Zucca, a long-lived pianist, composer, musical comedy star, and patron of the arts, and a suite of three short pieces by Marie Bergersen ensue. May Aufderheide, who contributed significantly to the development of white ragtime music, composed the three rags found in the volume. Elizabeth Stirling, the earliest of the English women, wrote the two works for organ. Three of the women from the United Kingdom who eventually found their way to the United States include Faustina Hasse Hodges and Clara Kathleen Rogers, composers of salon music, and Helen Hopekirk (from Scotland), represented by a suite. The final English contribution is a" Theme and Variations" by Dora Bright. Three German composers originate from musical families. Fanny Mendelssohn Hensel's three previously unpublished, untitled piano pieces join Clara Schumann's previously unpublished fugues on themes of J. S. Bach, preludes, and a prelude and fugue. Three character pieces by Sophie Menter, wife of cellist David Popper, were published during her lifetime. An impromptu by the HungarianDora Pejacevic, a waltz by Elizabeth Kuyper from the Netherlands (written while the composer was in the United States), and another waltz by Puerto Rican Ana Otero appear here. A long suite by the Norwegian, Agathe Backer Grondahl, a "Fanfare" written at the end of World War II by Wanda Landowska, and four plaintes by Teresa Carrefio complete this volume.
