Oxford University Press More Piano Time Classics
Book Synopsis38 really easy arrangements of the best-loved familiar tunes you will recognize from recordings, radio, and TV. The witty cartoons will bring a smile to the lips of even the most jaded piano pupil.Trade ReviewEach arrangement has been kept short, yet Pauline Hall has skilfully incorporated all the main tunes - these really do sound like the originals. What's more, she's managed to shoehorn them all into easy keys: most are in C, while the rest stick to one sharp or one flat in their key signatures. And to top it all, the book's designed to stay open on the music stand and the quality is commendable too: nicely spaced music, clear typesetting, a little useful history to many of the pieces, the odd quirky illustration, and, of course, no page turns all add up to an extremely desirable music book for early-grade pianists and keyboard players. * Keyboard Review *Table of ContentsRule Britannia! ; Minuet in G ; Moonlight Sonata ; Sonata Pathetique (2nd movt) ; Polovtsian Dance ; Gavotte ; Prelude from Te Deum ; Trumpet Voluntary ; Golliwogg's Cakewalk ; Waltz from Coppelia ; Humoreske ; Sicilienne ; Aria from Orfeo ed Euridice ; Morning from Peer Gynt ; Largo ; La Rejouissance from the Fireworks Music ; Theme from Quartet Op. 3, No. 5 ; Plaisir d'Amour ; O for the wings of a dove ; Clarinet Concerto (2nd movt) ; Romance from Eine Kleine Nachtmusik ; Theme from Sonata K.331 ; Canon ; La Campanella ; Dido's Lament ; Rondeau from Abdelazer ; Elephant from Carnival of the Animals ; Cradle Song ; Marche Militaire ; Dreaming ; Roses from the South ; Tritsch Tratsch Polka ; Dance of the Little Swans from Swan Lake ; Waltz from Sleeping Beauty ; Waltz from Swan Lake ; Autumn from the Four Seasons ; Bridal March from Lohengrin ; La Paloma

University of Chicago Press Mbiras Restless Dance
Book SynopsisGrowing out of the collaborative research of an American ethnomusicologist and Zimbabwean musician, Paul F. Berliner and Cosmas Magaya's Mbira's Restless Dance documents the repertory for a keyboard instrument known generally as mbira. At the heart of this work lies the analysis of the improvisatory processes that propel mbira music's magnificent creativity. Mbira's Restless Dance is written to be played. This two-volume, spiral-bound set features musical transcriptions of thirty-nine compositions and variations, annotated with the master player's advice on technique and performance, his notes and observations, and commentary by Berliner. Enhanced with extensive website audiovisuals, Mbira's Restless Dance is in effect a series of masterclasses with Magaya, suitable for experienced mbira players and those learning the fundamentals. Together with Berliner's The Art of Mbira, in which he provides an indispensable historical and cultural guide to mbira in a changing world, Mbira's Restless Dance breaks new ground in the depth and specificity of its exploration of an African musical tradition, and in the entwining of the authors' collaborative voices. It is a testament to the powerful relationship between music and social lifeand the rewards of lifelong musical study, performance, and friendship.Trade Review“A major landmark in ethnomusicology. These books represent decades of systematic and highly focused research by one of the most astute, tenacious, perceptive, respected, and inspiring scholars in the field. There is a wealth of information here, systematically organized and presented, with few precedents in music scholarship.” -- Eric Charry, Wesleyan University, author of "Mande Music: Traditional and Modern Music of the Maninka and Mandinka of Western Africa"“Stunning. I can think of no other work like it in the history of ethnomusicology, and very few that approach it in contemporary humanistic or musical scholarship. Its contribution transcends the author’s disciplinary affiliations in magisterial ways. There is, simply, nothing else like this in the literature. It owns its own category. It creates a new category of musical ethnography. And might I say, there is no example in the ethnomusicological literature of collaborative research on this level, either. I came away with a concrete understanding of the stunning complexity of the aural texture of mbira music, the playfulness of its performance practices, the seriousness of its pedagogical traditions, and the obviousness of the claim that Magaya is an artist on the level of a Charlie Parker or a Ravi Shankar—one of the world’s great musicians, a living treasure for the Shona people, and someone who has contributed enormously to ethnomusicology through his long collaboration with Berliner. This is a unique, powerful, singular work. Berliner is a master of ethnomusicological scholarship in exactly the same sense that Magaya is a master of the mbira. To have such a document of his career’s work is astounding. It shows what our discipline could be, and what we could achieve. It’s a real magnum opus.” -- Aaron A. Fox, Columbia University. author of "Real Country: Music and Language in Working-Class Culture""Berliner and Magaya have been working on this project since the 1990s, and it is unlikely that the world will ever see a deeper dive into the beauties and mysterious nuances of mbira. These volumes mark an extraordinary collaboration between meticulous scholarship and virtuoso musicianship, and also, the fruit of a profound and enduring friendship." -- Banning Eyre * Afropop Worldwide *Table of ContentsVolume I Introduction Guide to Mbira Notation 1 Bangiza (1)2 Bangiza (2) 3 Bangiza (3) 4 Bangiza (4) 5 Bangiza (5) 6 Bayawabaya 7 Chakwi 8 Chaminuka ndiMambo 9 Chaminuka, We 10 Chandasarira 11 Chipembere 12 Chipindura 13 Dande 14 Dangurangu 15 Gorekore 16 Karigamombe 17 Kuzanga 18 Mahororo 19 Mandarindari 20 MukatiendeVolume II 21 Mutamba 22 Muzoriwa 23 Nhemamusasa 24 Nhemamusasa yekutanga 25 Nhemamusasa yepasi 26 Nhimutimu (1) 27 Nhimutimu (2) 28 Nyamamusango 29 Nyamaropa 30 Nyamaropa Chipembere 31 Nyamaropa yepasi 32 Nyuchi 33 Shumba 34 Shumba yaNgwasha 35 Taireva (1) 36 Taireva (2) 37 Taireva (3) 38 Taireva (4) 39 Tondobayana 40 A Comparative View of Artists’ Composition TreatmentsBangiza (1)Bangiza (2)Bangiza (3)Bangiza (4)Bangiza (5)Chipindura Karigamombe Mahororo Mukatiende Muzoriwa Nhemamusasa Nhemamusasa yekutanga Nhemamusasa yepasi Nhimutimu (1)Nyamaropa Nyamaropa Chipembere Nyuchi ShumbaAcknowledgments

WW Norton & Co Songs of Love and Horror Collected Lyrics of
Book SynopsisThe definitive collection of lyrics from three decades of songwriting.Trade Review"Songs of Love and Horror feels significant; [Will Oldham is] able to make a connection directly, without the protective veil of a moniker. The blue annotations that accompany each lyric in the book offer his personal reflections. But as much as Oldham attempts transparency, his music, which radiates humour, tenderness, frustration and audacity, remains seductively mysterious." -- Wired"There aren't too many popular songwriters whose words can withstand being read and scrutinised as poetry. Oldham's not only stand up, but stripped of their melodic context, offer different insights... Honest, wry, confessional, occasionally harrowing and frequently laugh-out-loud funny, Oldham's lyrics make for enjoyable and illuminating reading." -- fRoots"His [Will Oldham's] book was more fascinating for me because I knew fewer of the songs." -- Jude Rogers - New Statesman
