Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Music and History This palatial music building is extraordinary even among the many sumptuous edifices possessed by some of our great music schools and conservatories. But what distinguishes it more than the eminently thoughtful and practical arrangement of its space is the instruction imparted within its walls. For this is a depart ment in a liberal arts college and not a school or conservatory of music. Needless to say, I do not wish to imply that an academic department of music is, by its very nature, superior to a school of music; it stands to reason that art comes first and its Study and criticism follow. What I mean is that in this country as in England, whence our collegiate system comes we tend to confuse the functions of the two institutions, with the result that music in the college, which 1s an institution of higher education (and perhaps even of learning), is often not taught as one of the liberal arts but as a skill, only tenuously related to the other subjects of instruction and intellectual endeavor. This college can take pride in the fact that it is not so at Vassar, for its music department puts to shame the under graduate division of many a great university. One man is re sponsible for this enlightened attitude. He not only virtually designed this building, but planned the curriculum, organized the fine library, and himself took charge of the historical courses that became models of their kind. I am happy to pay tribute to George Dickinson in his own home. Everyone knows about his achievements at Vassar, but he has done much more: he has vitally influenced the cause of musical education and scholarship all over the land. Now, as I turn to the business in hand, I do so with the feeling that lectures of this sort would not be delivered in our colleges were it not for his long and patient Work and determination to make music instruction in the college worthy of the sister disciplines.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “A valuable resource for musicologists, theorists, pianists, and aestheticians interested in reading about Schumann’s views on virtuosity.” —Notes Considered one of the greatest composers—and music critics—of the Romantic era, Robert Schumann (1810–1856) played an important role in shaping nineteenth-century German ideas about virtuosity. Forging his career in the decades that saw abundant public fascination with the feats and creations of virtuosos (Liszt, Paganini, and Chopin among others), Schumann engaged with instrumental virtuosity through not only his compositions and performances but also his music reviews and writings about his contemporaries. Ultimately, the discourse of virtuosity influenced the culture of Western “art music” well beyond the nineteenth century and into the present day. By examining previously unexplored archival sources, Alexander Stefaniak looks at the diverse approaches to virtuosity Schumann developed over the course of his career, revealing several distinct currents in nineteenth-century German virtuosity and the enduring flexibility of virtuosity discourse.

Download or read book College Music Curricula for a New Century written by Robin D. Moore and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2017-04-03 with total page 313 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Critiques and calls for reform have existed for decades within music education, but few publications have offered concrete suggestions as to how things might be done differently. Motivated by a desire to do just that, College Music Curricula for a New Century considers what a more inclusive, dynamic, and socially engaged curriculum of musical study might look like in universities. Editor Robin Moore creates a dialogue among faculty, administrators, and students about what the future of college music instruction should be and how teachers, institutions, and organizations can transition to new paradigms. Including contributions from leading figures in ethnomusicology, music education, theory/composition, professional performance, and administration, College Music Curricula for a New Century addresses college-level curriculum reform, focusing primarily on performance and music education degrees, and offer ideas and examples for a more inclusive, dynamic, and socially engaged curriculum of applied musical study. This book will appeal to thoughtful faculty looking for direction on how to enact reform, to graduate students with investment in shaping future music curricula, and to administrators who know change is on the horizon and seek wisdom and practical advice for implementing change. College Music Curricula for a New Century reaches far beyond any musical subdiscipline and addresses issues pertinent to all areas of music study.

Download or read book Why Choose the Liberal Arts written by Mark William Roche and published by University of Notre Dame Pess. This book was released on 2010-08-20 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a world where the value of a liberal arts education is no longer taken for granted, Mark William Roche lucidly and passionately argues for its essential importance. Drawing on more than thirty years of experience in higher education as a student, faculty member, and administrator, Roche deftly connects the broad theoretical perspective of educators to the practical needs and questions of students and their parents. Roche develops three overlapping arguments for a strong liberal arts education: first, the intrinsic value of learning for its own sake, including exploration of the profound questions that give meaning to life; second, the cultivation of intellectual virtues necessary for success beyond the academy; and third, the formative influence of the liberal arts on character and on the development of a sense of higher purpose and vocation. Together with his exploration of these three values—intrinsic, practical, and idealistic—Roche reflects on ways to integrate them, interweaving empirical data with personal experience. Why Choose the Liberal Arts? is an accessible and thought-provoking work of interest to students, parents, and administrators.
