Excerpt: ... character of the fpeaker with equal force and clearnefs. But the moment he heard Handel on the organ, this great man in his own eye fhrunk into nothing. He had now been a full twelvemonth in England, and it was time for him to think of returning to Hanover. When he took leave of the Queen at her court, and exprefled his fenfe of the favours conferred on him, her Majefty was pleafed to add to them by large prefents, and to intimate her defire of feeing him again. Not a little flattered with fuch marks of approbation from fo illuftrious a perfonage, he promifed to return, the moment he could obtain permiflion from the Prince, in whofe fervice he was retained. .; -. . .:, . .... Soon Soon after his return to Hanover he made twelve chamber Duettos for the practice of the late Queen, then electoral Princefs. The character of thefe is well known to the judges in Mufic. The words for them were written by the Abbate Mauro Hortensio, who had not difdained on other occafions to minifter to the mafter* of harmony. . Befides thefe Duettos (a fpeciet of compofition of which the Prin? cefs and court were particularly fond) he compofed variety of other things for voices and inftruments. Towards the end of the year 1712, he obtained leave of the Elector to make a fecond vifit to England, on condition that l& en G 3 T' SaSed gaged to return within a reafonable timg.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Music, Language, and Cognition is the third collection of Peter Kivy's seminal papers in the philosophy of music. In essays which span his earliest work in the field and his more recent contributions to journals, anthologies, and conference proceedings, Kivy considers the origin of music, the medium of expression in opera, the role of music in film, the nature of an 'ideal' performance, and the question of whether absolute music has a meaning, among other issues. Rich with critical analysis and informed by the history of both philosophy and music, this volume will be of interest to anyone who likes not only to listen to music, but to think about it as well.

Book excerpt: Sounding Off brings together a selection of essays on philosophy of music written by Peter Kivy—the leading expert on the subject. The essays fall into four groups, corresponding to Kivy's major interests. Part I contains two essays on the nature of musical genius. In Part II, three essays take up the subject of authenticity in performance, and explore what Kivy terms 'the authenticity of interpretation'. Part III contains four essays concerning the much discussed issues of musical representation and musical meaning. Finally, Part IV consists of three essays on the 'pure musical parameters': these are essays on 'music alone' or 'absolute music'—music as the pure, formal structure of (sometimes) expressive sound. Eight of the eleven essays presented here are previously unpublished, and the book includes two appendices which provide Kivy's responses to criticism.
Download or read book Musical Prodigies written by Gary E. McPherson and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2016-08-26 with total page 833 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Child prodigies have been observed in a range of disciplines - particularly music, mathematics, chess, and art. The question of what makes a prodigy has long been controversial. Some have dismissed the notion of giftedness, arguing that most famous prodigies had strong parental, cultural, and environmental influences that helped them develop their extraordinary abilities. One recent theory suggested that anyone could achieve outstanding success in whatever endeavour they wanted with a minimum of 10,000 hours of practice. Nevertheless, many studies of prodigies have suggested that there might be strong underlying cognitive differences, regarding their use of short-term versus long-term memory, spatial memory, imagery, and language. Whatever the arguments - for those interested in child development - prodigies remain a fascinating subject of study when considering questions about creativity, intelligence, development, and the impact of nature versus nurture. This books breaks new ground in presenting the first scientific exploration on the topic of musical prodigies. It brings together research from a range of disciplines, including psychology, neurobiology, and genetics, to provide a thorough exploration of prodigious talent. In addition, the book includes fascinating case studies of prodigies and also looks at their long-term development into adulthood - many child prodigies have had problems making the transition into adolescence and adulthood. Musical prodigies will be required reading for anyone interested in child development, music, and the arts
Download or read book Interconnecting Music and the Literary Word written by Fausto Ciompi and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2018-07-27 with total page 275 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dealing with the interconnections between music and the written word, this volume brings into focus an updated range of analytical and interpretative approaches which transcend the domain of formalist paradigms and the purist assumption of music’s non-referentiality. Grouped into three thematic sections, these fifteen essays by Italian, British and American scholars shed light on a phenomenological network embracing different historical, socio-cultural and genre contexts and a variety of theoretical concepts, such as intermediality, the soundscape notion, and musicalisation. At one end of the spectrum, music emerges as a driving cultural force, an agent cooperating with signifying and communication processes and an element functionally woven into the discursive fabric of the literary work. The authors also provide case studies of the fruitful musico-literary dialogue by taking into account the seminal role of composers, singer-songwriters, and performers. From another standpoint, the music-in-literature and literature-in-music dynamics are explored through the syntax of hybridisations, transcoding experiments, and iconic analogies.
