    Libri Publishing Crash, Bang, Wallop!: The people and products

    1 in stock

    Book SynopsisCrash, Bang, Wallop! charts the development of drums and their effect on the UK rock and pop music scene, during the second half of the twentieth century. A central thread running through the book is Ivor Arbiter’s influence on the British drumming scene. The book describes the various marques that he imported, marketed and, in three notable cases, created. Descriptions and potted histories of some of the other key brands available over the period are provided, even where they were bitter competitors with Ivor’s businesses. Bob’s dual qualifications of having been a pro drummer since rock was born, plus having sold the things, has given him a unique insight into the development of the modern drum set. Crash, Bang, Wallop! shares his knowledge and experiences in a highly readable package that even non-drummers will appreciate. Enjoy the ride, seen through the eyes of a professional drummer with over 50 years on the stool, who has also retailed them, developed them and written about them.

  • Mbiras Restless Dance

    University of Chicago Press Mbiras Restless Dance

    1 in stock

    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
