Download or read book Selected Orchestral Arrangements written by Theodore Thomas and published by A-R Editions, Inc.. This book was released on 2017-08-01 with total page 153 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection presents a selection of popular and historically significant arrangements by famed orchestral conductor Theodore Thomas (18351905). Thomas was among the most influential figures in the development of the American orchestra. Through approximately three decades of touring with his orchestra across the country, and in the process laying foundations for the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, Thomas left an indelible imprint on the American musical landscape. His arrangements were integral to his popularity with American audiences, who wanted accessibility in their music yet sought validation of their cultural sophistication. By presenting carefully chosen works of Europes most venerable composers in his arrangements, Thomas found a formula by which he could entertain his audiences while nevertheless encouraging their aspiration toward the status of high culture. These works span the entirety of Thomass career, from the less assuming (although wildly popular) early arrangement of Schumanns Träumerei to the weighty mature arrangement of Chopins Polonaise, Op. 53.

Download or read book Masterworks of the Orchestral Repertoire written by Donald N. Ferguson and published by U of Minnesota Press. This book was released on 1968-03-04 with total page 686 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Masterworks of the Orchestral Repertoire was first published in 1968. Minnesota Archive Editions uses digital technology to make long-unavailable books once again accessible, and are published unaltered from the original University of Minnesota Press editions. The fullest enjoyment of an orchestral performance or a record concert comes with a background of knowledge about the music itself. This handbook is designed to help music lovers get the ultimate pleasure from their listening by providing them with that background about a large portion of the orchestral repertoire. Professor Ferguson analyzes and interprets the most important classical symphonies, overtures, and concertos, as well as selected orchestral works of modern composers. He goes beyond a conventional analysis of structure since he believes (with a majority of the music-loving public) that great music is actually a communication -- that it expresses significant emotions. The great composers, on their own testimony, have striven not merely to create perfect forms but to interpret human experience. Mingled with the analyses, then, the reader will find comments on the expressive purport of the music. For twenty-five years Professor Ferguson has supplied the program notes for the subscription concerts of the Minneapolis Symphony Orchestra, and this volume is an outgrowth of that activity. In preparing the material for book publication, however, he studied the musical compositions anew, and the resulting chapters provide a much deeper exploration of the musical subjects than did the program notes. The themes of important works are illustrated by musical notations, and a brief glossary explains technical terms.
