Download or read book Traveling Home written by Kiri Miller and published by University of Illinois Press. This book was released on 2008 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A compelling account of the vibrant musical tradition of Sacred Harp singing, Traveling Home describes how song brings together Americans of widely divergent religious and political beliefs. Named after the most popular of the nineteenth-century shape-note tunebooks - which employed an innovative notation system to teach singers to read music - Sacred Harp singing has been part of rural Southern life for over 150 years. In the wake of the folk revival of the 1950s and 60s, this participatory musical tradition attracted new singers from all over America. All-day "singings" from The Sacred Harp now take place across the country, creating a diverse and far-flung musical community. Blending historical scholarship with wide-ranging fieldwork, Kiri Miller presents an engagingly written study of this important music movement.
Download or read book The Harps that Once written by Thorkild Jacobsen and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 1987-01-01 with total page 526 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sumerian, the oldest language known, is represented by hundreds of thousands of clay tablets inscribed in the cuneiform writing system. Most of the tablets are devoted to mundane matters- ration lists, annual accounts, deeds, contracts- but a substantial number contain examples of perhaps the earliest poetry extant. In this volume, the eminent Assyriologist Thorkild Jacobsen presents translations of some of these ancient poems, including a number of compositions that have never before been published in translation. "What a wonderful bouquet; a gift to us all from a master Sumeriologist, a singer of human achievement, and a lover of words. Jacobsen needs no introduction and this work is special, and should be found in the home of all human and literate persons. It gives access to the mind of ancient Mesopotamia in a manner rarely duplicated heretofore ... Jacobsen has chosen widely from Sumer's rich literature- myth, epics, hymns, boasts, epithalamia, love songs, lamentations, fables- nad has presented us with perspective renderings". Jack M. Sasson, Religious Studies Review.
Download or read book Tree of Strings written by Keith Sanger and published by Routledge Library Editions: Folk Music. This book was released on 2017-09-26 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first history of the harp in Scotland to be published. It sets out to trace the development of the instrument from its earliest appearance on the Pictish stones of the 8th century, to the present day. Describing the different harps played in the Highlands and the Lowlands of Scotland, the authors examine the literary and physical evidence for their use within the Royal Courts and "big houses" by professional harpers and aristocratic amateurs. They vividly follow the decline of the wire-strung clarsach from its links with the hereditary bards of the Highland chieftains to its disappearance in the 18th century, and the subsequent attempts at the revival of the small harp during the 19th and 20th centuries. The music played on the harp, and its links with the great families of Scotland are described. The authors present, in this book, material which has never before been brought to light, from unpublished documents, family papers and original manuscripts. They also make suggestions, based on their research, about the development and dissemination of the early Celtic harps and their music. This book, therefore, should be of great interest, not only to harp players but to historians, to all musicians in the fields of traditional and early music, and to any reader who recognises the importance of these beautiful instruments, and their music, throughout a thousand years of Scottish culture.

Download or read book A magic harp written by Nóra Mercz and published by novum pro Verlag. This book was released on 2016-10-07 with total page 158 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Harps, instruments of ancient origin have joined humankind throughout its history: the gems among the instruments in the empires of antiquity, the accompanying instruments of the songs performed by medieval monks, wandering minstrels and gallant knights, favourites of burghers, and the queen of instruments, as many say. They served as the decorative or symbolic components of artistic representations arcing over times. We do not only get familiar with the varieties, the development and the most excellent virtuosos of harps, but we are also given a comprehensive view of their historical and philosophical background, the role they played in different eras during which, these instruments of peculiar and mysteriously attractive sound "always represented joy, comfort and beauty”.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the author's Prefatory Note: An apology is perhaps needed for writing a book on the 'Psalms', a subject which has been so admirably treated by a number of the most eminent scholars, which has been approached from almost every conceivable standpoint, and which, therefore, embraces a literature which is already exceedingly voluminous. The writer's apology must be that, in spite of all that has been written, there is one aspect of the subject which, he ventures to think, has not been sufficiently taken into consideration, namely the 'Jewish'. The attempt is, therefore, made in the following pages to give some idea of the place which the Psalms have occupied, and do now occupy, in the Jewish Church.
