Taylor & Francis Late Medieval Liturgies Enacted
Book SynopsisThis book critically explores ways in which our understanding of late medieval liturgy can be enhanced through present-day enactment. It is a direct outcome of a practice-led research project, led by Professor John Harper and undertaken at Bangor University between 2010 and 2013 in partnership with Salisbury Cathedral and St Fagans National History Museum, near Cardiff. The book seeks to address the complex of ritual, devotional, musical, physical and architectural elements that constitute medieval Latin liturgy, whose interaction can be so difficult to recover other than through practice. In contrast with previous studies of reconstructed liturgies, enactment was not the exclusive end-goal of the project; rather it has created a new set of data for interpretation and further enquiry. Though based on a foundation of historical, musicological, textual, architectural and archaeological research, new methods of investigation and interpretation are explored, tested and validated throughoutTrade Review"…a valuable overview of the logistics of medieval worship and of the ways that it may have been experienced by participants, both clergy and laity". Madeleine Gray, University of South Wales, in Archaeologia Cambrensis."This book is as strong in describing the research methods used as in the detailed information that it presents. (...) This volume is highly specialised, but can be recommended to anyone interested in music and liturgy and the world of the late medieval Church in England and Wales." - Robert Manning, The Consort Early Music Journal, vol.73, Summer 2017"This substantial book is beautifully produced with numerous colour and black-and-white photographs and is very comprehensive. It fills a large gap in our knowledge." - Peter Freeman, Anglo-Catholic History Society Table of ContentsIntroduction John HarperPart 1: Investigating the Experience of Late Medieval Worship in Medieval Church Buildings 1.

Taylor & Francis Ltd (Sales) Gyrgy Ligetis Le Grand Macabre Postmodernism MusicoDramatic Form and the Grotesque Ashgate Studies in Theory and Analysis of Music After 1900
Book SynopsisGyÃrgy Ligetiâs Le Grand Macabre (1974â77, revised 1996) has consolidated its position as one of the major operatic works of the twentieth century. Few operas composed since the 1970s have received such numerous productions, bringing the eclectic score to a global audience. Famously dubbed by Ligeti as an âanti-anti-operaâ, the piece is a highly ambiguous, apocalyptic fable about the human condition, fear of death and the final judgement. As the first book in English solely dedicated to discussion of this work, GyÃrgy Ligetiâs Le Grand Macabre: Postmodernism, Musico-Dramatic Form and the Grotesque offers new perspectives on the operaâs musico-dramatic identity in the context of musical postmodernism. Peter Edwards draws on a range of modernist and postmodernist theories to explore the collision of past styles and genre models in the opera, its expressive states and its engagement with the grotesque. This is ably supported by musical analysis and extensive study of Ligetiâs sketch materials held at the Paul Sacher Foundation in Basel. Edwardsâs analyses culminate in a new approach to examining the operaâs rich multiplicities, the composition of the musical material and the nature of Ligetiâs relationship with the musical past. This is a key reference work in the fields of musical modernism and postmodernism, opera studies and the music of Ligeti.
