Cambridge University Press Bruckners Symphonies Analysis Reception and Cultural Politics
Book SynopsisFew works in the nineteenth-century repertoire have aroused such extremes of hostility and admiration, or have generated so many scholarly problems, as Anton Bruckner's symphonies. In this 2004 book, Julian Horton seeks fresh ways of understanding the symphonies and the problems they have accrued by treating them as the focus for a variety of inter-disciplinary debates and methodological controversies. He isolates problematic areas in the works' analysis and reception, and approaches them from a range of analytical, historical, philosophical, literary, critical and psychoanalytical viewpoints. The symphonies are thus explored in the context of a number of crucial and sometimes provocative themes, including the political circumstances of the works' production, Bruckner and post-war musical analysis, issues of musical influence, the problem of editions, Bruckner and psychobiography, and the composer's controversial relationship to the Nazis.Trade ReviewReview of the hardback: 'Julian Horton has painstakingly explored Bruckner's symphonic output from assorted perspectives - historical, political and psychobiographical. The result is a fascinating reassessment of a unique musical universe. Horton's conclusions - that Bruckner's symphonies embody the conflicts between subjectivity and faith, artifice and innovation, bourgeois secularity and religious authority - are stimulatingly controversial. This is an important and provocative piece of scholarship.' LinkReview of the hardback: 'Horton's comprehensive grasp contrasts sharply with the dismissive, patronising or misguided comments of many previous writers' Classical MusicReview of the hardback: 'This is an impressive book and at times an inspiring one. The Bruckner JournalReview of the hardback: ' … important and fascinating …Horton presents his evidence carefully and skilfully …the presentation of the books is immaculate and up to CUP's very high standards … Julian Horton has made a most impressive contribution to what he rightly describers as the 'considerable scholarly impetus that has built up behind Bruckner in recent transatlantic musicology.' Music and LettersReview of the hardback: '… a highly valuable contribution to Bruckner scholarship …' Nineteenth-Century Music ReviewTable of Contents1. Introduction: the critical problem; 2. Bruckner and nineteenth-century Vienna: analysis and historical context; 3. Right-wing cultural politics and the Nazi appropriation of Bruckner; 4. Bruckner and musical analysis; 5.

Cambridge University Press Bach Handel Scarlatti 16851985
Book Synopsis1985 celebrated the 300th anniversary of the births of Bach, Handel and Scarlatti. This volume covers all three composers and contains essays from an international team of scholars. Some essays make a contribution towards a better understanding of one or other composer, but at least half of them are concerned with ideas connecting two or even all three of them. The essays are concerned with many aspects of the music - technical, chronological, critical, speculative, theoretical and (importantly) practical - and the distinguished contributors have often endeavoured to ask questions rather than jump to conclusions. Every essay makes fresh points and can open up new avenues for players and (in the broadest sense) students, especially in the present climate of wishing to return to 'authentic conditions of performance'.Table of Contents1. Handel and Music for the Earl of Carnarvon Graydon Beeks; 2. Aria and Ritornello: New Aspects of the Comparison Handel/Bach Paul Brainard; 3. Handel and Hanover Donald Burrows; 4.

Cambridge University Press Vaughan Williams Studies Cambridge Composer Studies
Book SynopsisThis collection of essays on Vaughan Williams brings together leading British and American scholars and covers a wide range of topics and approaches, exploring musical language, cultural context, biography, manuscript sources and reception history. Despite Vaughan Williams' seminal importance in British music, international stature as a symphonist, and wider significance as an icon of Englishness, very little new research on his life or music has been published since the mid-1960s. The ten essays presented here examine diverse subjects such as the place of Vaughan Williams in the construction of English national identity this century, the role of rhythm in his symphonies, music for propaganda films, and his unpublished early orchestral pieces; major works such as the Tallis Fantasia and the Fifth Symphony are analysed in depth.Trade ReviewReview of the hardback: '… These ten substantial chapters offer insights into Vaughan Williams as both man and musician. As a collection of essays this is a random rather than a balanced survey, though nonetheless welcome in discussing important issues in depth. The standard of presentation is high, with clear musical examples enhancing detailed analyses of the Tallis Fantasia and Fifth Symphony.' Terry Barfoot, BBC Music MagazineTable of ContentsList of plates, Bibliographic abbreviations and score references; Preface; 1.

Cambridge University Press The Harley Psalter 4 Cambridge Studies in Palaeography and Codicology Series Number 4
Book SynopsisThis is a fascinating study of the making of the Harley Psalter, an illustrated manuscript which was produced at Christ Church, Canterbury, over a period of about 100 years, from c. 1020 to c. 1130. The Harley Psalter was closely based on the Utrecht Psalter, the most celebrated of all Carolingian illuminated manuscripts. Through meticulous observation of the Harley Psalter, William Noel analyses how the artists and scribes worked with each other and with their manuscript exemplars in making their illustrated text. The author demonstrates that this work is best understood not as a copy of the Utrecht Psalter, but rather as one of a series of Anglo-Saxon manuscript experiments that incorporated its imagery. This is a crucial work for understanding the development of art, script and book making during what has been termed the 'golden age' of Anglo-Saxon art.Table of ContentsList of illustrations; Acknowledgements; Note on the Psalm texts; Introduction; 1. Quires ruled by the artists; 2. Quires ruled by the scribes; 3. The origin and dates of the Harley Psalter; 4. Four perspectives on the making of the Harley Psalter; 5. Reading the Utrecht and Harley Psalters c. 1000– c. 1150; Conclusion; Appendix I: The Harley Psalter: a tabulated description; Appendix II: The Utrecht and Harley Psalters: parallel collations; Select bibliography; Indices.
