Download or read book The Music of Color written by Fukumi Shimura and published by . This book was released on 2019-04-27 with total page 141 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A creator in the medium of textiles, the author is known in Japan for her essays on color, nature, and the work of weaving and dyeing. This book collects some of the author's writings together with photographs of her art and the natural world that inspires it. From winter snows to spring blossoms, from the foothills of Japan's Southern Alps to the back streets of Gion, Kyoto, the author initiates the reader into areas of Japanese culture where the boundary between craft and art is blurred. The author offers insight into the sources and use of natural color, along with a glimpse into the world of Japanese textiles, from silkworm and loom to finished kimono. Travels from Basho's Deep North to the western island of Kyushu are recorded, as are accounts of the author's encounters with other figures in Japanese aesthetics such as lacquerware master Kuroda Tatsuaki and poet-critic Ōoka Makoto.--adapted from jacket.

Download or read book Sor Juana M sica written by Pamela H. Long and published by Peter Lang. This book was released on 2009 with total page 158 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In her lost treatise on music which she titled El caracol, Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz addressed the image of the spiral as a metaphor for musical harmony, an image which she distilled in one of her romances. Singing in the choir of the Templo de San Jerónimo, Sor Juana and the other nuns of her convent were raising the tone of their musica humana to be in accord with the music of the heavenly choirs, which the nuns were imitating in their singing. Octavio Paz theorizes a «triple interés» in music in Sor Juana's works: «práctico, teórico, filósofico». Numerous poems allude to the theoretical and philosophical problems of music, resulting in many levels of metaphor and metonym concerning music, especially in the loas and villancicos. Not only does Sor Juana's work address the metaphysical aspects of music, the musica speculative so popular in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, but it broaches important questions on the practical applications of new theories of musical harmony: the musica practica. A talented poet, playwright, scientist, and mathematician, Sor Juana also explored musical instruments and theory. Sor Juana/Música investigates the musical aspects of Sor Juana's literary achievements, exploring the dense metaphorical interplay of musical and literary images, and places her works within the musicological ambience of her time. With its interdisciplinary approach, Sor Juana/Música contributes not only to the understanding of Sor Juana's literary works, but also to the degree that literature underpins the other arts as it illuminates the musicological times in which she lived.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Y vi un Cielo nuevo, y una Tierra nueva: porque el primer cielo y la primera tierra se fueron, y el mar ya no es. Y vi la Santa Ciudad, jerusalem Nueva, que descendia del Cielo de Dios, dispuesta como una esposa taviada para su marido. Y oí una gran voz del Cielo que decía: "He acquí el Tabernáculo de Dios con los hombres, y morará con ellos; y ellos serán su pueblo, y El mismo Dios será su Dios con ellos. Y limpiará Dios toda lágrima de los ojos de ellos, y la muerte no será más; y no habrá más llanto, ni clamor, ni dolor porque las primeras cosas son pasadas." No entrará en ella ninguna cosa sucia, o que hace abominacion y mentira; sino solamente los que están escritos el el libro de la vida del Cordero. Y no habrá más maldicion; sino que el trono de Dios y del cordero estará en ella, y sus siervos le servirán. Y alli no habrá más noche; no tienen necesidad de lumbra de antorcha, ni de lumbra de sol; porqu el Señor Dios los alumbrará; y reinarán para siempre jamás. Y llevarán la gloria y la honra de las naciones a ella. Y verán su cara; y su nombre estará en sus frentes. Y El que estaba sentado en el trono dijo, "He acqui, Yo hago nuevas todas las cosas." Y me dijo, "Escribe; porque estas palabras son fieles y verdaderas." Apocalipsis 21:1-5, 26-27; 22:3-5

Download or read book Acuarelas Musicales written by Adalberto GarcÍa De Mendoza and published by Palibrio. This book was released on 2012-08 with total page 149 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart es la expresión, no de una personalidad aislada, sino de un ambiente. Es el ejemplo de la expresión natural, la manifestación del espíritu, espontánea y sin el menor rebuscamiento o alteración. No hay problema revolucionario en la obra de Mozart. La rebeldía de Beethoven, el erotismo de Wagner, la religiosidad de Juan Sebastián Bach, la caracterología de Ricardo Strauss, la languidez romántica de Chopin, la filosofía dubitativa de Schumann, contrastan con la fluidez del pensamiento y de la emoción de Mozart, todos ellos llevan el dolor en el parto, el sentimiento propio sufre los más crueles tormentos. Hay en ellos la excelsitud de la creación y la vulgaridad de la frase. Instantes en que los soles presentan la majestuosidad de la idea con significativa y desbordante claridad. ~Adalberto García de Mendoza

Download or read book Rival Sisters Art and Music at the Birth of Modernism 1815 915 written by JamesH. Rubin and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-07-05 with total page 415 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Introducing the concept of music and painting as 'rival sisters' during the nineteenth century, this interdisciplinary collection explores the productive exchange-from rivalry to inspiration to collaboration-between the two media in the age of Romanticism and Modernism. The volume traces the relationship between art and music, from the opposing claims for superiority of the early nineteenth century, to the emergence of the concept of synesthesia around 1900. This collection puts forward a more complex history of the relationship between art and music than has been described in earlier works, including an intermixing of models and distinctions between approaches to them. Individual essays from art history, musicology, and literature examine the growing influence of art upon music, and vice versa, in the works of Berlioz, Courbet, Manet, Fantin-Latour, Rodin, Debussy, and the Pre-Raphaelites, among other artists.
