One Hundred Summers: A Kiowa Calendar Record

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Prior to widespread literacy, the Kiowa people recorded their history in pictorial calendars, marking an entry for each summer and each winter. One Hundred Summers presents a recently discovered calendar, created by the Kiowa master artist Silver Horn. Covering the period from 1828 to 1928, the pictures trace Kiowa experiences from buffalo to biplanes, from horse raiding to World War I service, offering an indigenous perspective on a critical period of Kiowa history. The calendar, now housed at the Sam Noble Oklahoma Museum of Natural History, is reproduced in full color in this book. Weaving together information from archival sources, community memories, and a close reading of the pictures themselves, Candace S. Greene frames and clarifies this uniquely Native American perspective on Southern Plains history during an era of great political, economic, and cultural pressures. A rare window on a century of Kiowa life, One Hundred Summers is also an invaluable contribution to the… [detailed...]

One Hundred Years of Music: After Beethoven and Wagner

2008 y.
Publisher: Aldine Transaction
Description: `One Hundred Years of Music` provides a full account of the history of music from the death of Beethoven to the present day. It covers a period of exceptional interest. The last hundred years coincide roughly with the rise and decline of Romanticism, include the various nationalist movements, and extend to the advent of `neo-classicism`, the twelve-tone system, and still more modern techniques. Abraham devotes ample space to contemporary music, in which he explains the difficulties we experience in listening to the work of such composers as Schonberg, Bartok and Berg. He also throws new light on many more familiar topics. In its earlier editions, `One Hundred Years of Music` became the standard work on this subject, it has now been brought completely up to date, including full coverage of developments. Abraham approaches his subject as an historian of style rather than an esthetic critic. Rather than pass judgment on particular works or composers, he shows how music has developed, and… [detailed...]

Between 1968 and 1983 he made a series of recordings that are among the most influential guitar albums of the century. Breau`s astonishing virtuosity influenced countless performers, but unfortunately it came at the expense of his personal relationships. Despite Breau`s fascinating life story and his musical importance, no full-length biography has been published until now. Forbes-Roberts has interviewed more than 175 people and closely analyzed Breau`s recordings to reveal an enormously gifted man and the inner workings of his music. `Lenny Breau was, and will always be, a great treasure. We need him today more than ever.` -Mundell Lowe, jazz guitarist `In his brilliantly written and exhaustively researched biography, Forbes-Roberts gets to the essence of… [detailed...]
