Description: Book Description`Reading these wonderful, almost-lost stories is like finding a buried treasure of fine gold and silver.`--Alison Lurie Of the previous century`s many great storytellers, Sylvia Townsend Warner was the supreme enchantress. The Musicat Long Verney collects twenty of her best short stories, most of them from the great years at The New Yorker . They span a full half-century, from 1929 to 1977, and are crowded with irrepressible, living characters and even more animated objects and incidents. There are stories of romantic love and the mysteries of marriage, of artists who speak the truth even as they distort reality, of gardens and houses and very fine things and of those who fancy themselves their owners. The centerpiece of the collection is a series of five linked stories about an eccentric establishment, the Abbey Antiques Gallery, and its singular proprietor, the urbane Mr. Edom. Some of these stories are hilarious, others hauntingly lyrical, but all… [detailed...]

Description: Book DescriptionMusic is a vital element in the poems and prose of Emily Dickinson but, despite its importance, the function of music as a literary technique in her work has not yet been fully explored, what information exists is scarce and scattered. The significance of the musical terminology and imagery in Dickinson?s poetry and prose are thoroughly explored in this book. It considers the music of Dickinson?s life and times and how it influenced her writing, how she combined music and poetry to create her own style, several important nineteenth century reviews for what they reveal about the musical quality of her work, and her use of Protestant hymns as a model for her poetry. It also provides insights into musical interpretations of herpoetry as related to the author by some fifty modern-day composers and arrangers, and discusses musical reflections of her poems and letters.

The Music of Michael Nyman

2007 y.
Publisher: Ashgate
Description: Nyman`s rise to international prominence during the last three decades has made him one of the world`s most successful living composers. His music has nevertheless been criticized for its parasitic borrowing of other composers` ideas and for its relentless self-borrowing. In this first book-length study in English, Pwyll ap Sion places Nyman`s writings within the general context of Anglo-American experimentalism, minimalism and post-minimalism, and provides a series of useful contexts from which controversial aspects of Nyman`s musical language can be more clearly understood and appreciated. Drawing upon terms informed by intertextual theory in general, appropriation and borrowing are first introduced within the context of twentieth-century art music and theory. Intertextual concepts are explained and its terms defined before Nyman`s musical language is considered in relation to a series of intertextual classifications and types. These types then form the basis of a more in-depth… [detailed...]

Description: Book Description With a voice that is both sophisticated and deeply Southern, first-time author John Rowell evokes the memory of the great Truman Capote in this wonderful collection of short stories, peopled with unforgettable, endearing charactersand filled with wry insights. Drawn from the emotional well of a young man who grew up in love with the glittery, glamorous world of music and movies and theater -- far removed from his own more prosaic life in North Carolina -- and informed with honesty and compassion, the seven short stories that comprise The Music of Your Life mark the impressive debut of a remarkably gifted writer. Compulsively readable and always accessible, each story takes the reader into the mind and heart of its central character, whether a young boy suffering from Lawrence Welk damage and teetering precariously on the edge of puberty (`The Music of Your Life`) or a not-so-young-anymore man for whom fantasy and reality have become a… [detailed...]

Nikolaus Harnoncourt
The Musical Dialogue : Thoughts on Monteverdi, Bach and Mozart

2003 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Amazon.comNikolaus Harnoncourt has been one of the most important and influential leaders of the 20th-century revival of Baroque instruments and period performance practice--not just because he`s a hardworking and talented musician, but because he`s articulate. (He has had to be articulate: in the 1960s and 1970s, most of the classical-music establishment was contemptuous of, if not downright hostile to, his ideas.) The Musical Dialogue , along with Harnoncourt`s Baroque Music Today: Music as Speech (to which this volume was issued as a companion), is a valuable collection of lectures and essays laying out those ideas. In the previous book, Harnoncourt discussed his views on phrasing (using short phrases based on the idea of rhetoric rather than on a long, unbroken legato line) and the use of period instruments (not simply because the composer used them, but because, when played well, they reveal more of the music to our ears now). In The Musical Dialogue ,… [detailed...]

The Musical Madhouse : English Translation of Berlioz`s Les Grotesques de la musique (Eastman Studies in Music)

2005 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionHector Berlioz`s Les Grotesques de la musique is the only one of his books that has never been translated into English in its entirety. It is by far the funniest of all his works, and consists of a number of short anecdotes, witticisms, open letters, and comments on the absurdities of concert life. Alastair Bruce`s fluid translation brings to life this important composer and bon vivant. He does a wonderful job of conveying all the puns, jokes, and invective of Berlioz`s prose as well as the nuances of his stories. He even imitates a Tahitian accent in the translation, as Berlioz does in the original. The notes will give the reader insight into the innuendos and in-jokes that fill the pages. This translation will take its place among othertranslations of Berlioz`s prose writings, bringing to the reader more lively examples of a still misunderstood composer caught up in the musical life of mid-nineteenth century Paris. Alastair Bruce is a London-based management… [detailed...]

Charles O. Nussbaum
The Musical Representation: Meaning, Ontology, and Emotion

2007 y.
Publisher: The MIT Press
Description: How human musical experience emerges from the audition of organized tones is a riddle of long standing. In The Musical Representation, Charles Nussbaum offers a philosophical naturalist`s solution. Nussbaum founds his naturalistic theory of musical representation on the collusion between the physics of sound and the organization of the human mind-brain. He argues that important varieties of experience afforded by Western tonal art music since 1650 arise through the feeling of tone, the sense of movement in musical space, cognition, emotional arousal, and the engagement, by way of specific emotional responses, of deeply rooted human ideals. Construing the art music of the modern West as representational, as a symbolic system that carries extramusical content, Nussbaum attempts to make normative principles of musical representation explicit and bring them into reflective equilibrium with the intuitions of competent listeners. Nussbaum identifies three modes of musical representation,… [detailed...]

The Musician As Interpreter

2007 y.
Publisher: Pennsylvania State University Press
Description: In Beyond the Pleasure Principle, Freud observed that the life-enhancing pleasure principle seems disrupted by something internal to the psyche. He took into account the possibility of a `death instinct` bent on returning the living organism to its origin of undifferentiated matter. In Beyond Pleasure: Freud, Lacan, Barthes, Margaret Iversen uses the writing of Freud, Lacan, the Surrealists, and Roland Barthes to elaborate a theory of art beyond the pleasure principle. Lacan was in close contact with the Surrealists and, early in his career, exchanged ideas with Dali­. This book offers a detailed reading of Dali­`s `paranoiac-critical` tour de force, The Tragic Myth of Millet`s Angelus, in which he demonstrates a method of interpretation that involves the projection and analysis of paranoid fantasies. The author later discusses the aesthetic dimension of the disintegrative death drive explored in Georges Bataille`s Eroticism and in Anton Ehrenzweig`s Hidden Order of Art, both of… [detailed...]
