Scarecrow Press PopCulture Pedagogy in the Music Classroom
Book SynopsisTeachers the world over are discovering the importance and benefits of incorporating popular culture into the music classroom. The cultural prevalence and the students' familiarity with recorded music, videos, games, and other increasingly accessible multimedia materials help enliven course content and foster interactive learning and participation. Pop-Culture Pedagogy in the Music Classroom: Teaching Tools from American Idol to YouTube provides ideas and techniques for teaching music classes using elements of popular culture that resonate with students' everyday lives. From popular songs and genres to covers, mixes, and mashups; from video games such as Dance Dance Revolution and Guitar Hero to television shows like American Idol, this exciting collection offers pedagogical models for incorporating pop culture and its associated technologies into a wide variety of music courses. Biamonte has collected well-rounded essays that consider a variety of applications. After an introductionTrade ReviewAs the cover implies, the essays in this collection address pop music from the 1930s to today, with a heavy emphasis on the roles of technology and the media....While the collection is directed more toward music theory than music history, it provides a wealth of ideas for making history classes more interactive, relevant, and engaging for today’s students....Those already committed to integrating pop culture into the classroom will find plenty of encouragement in this book. * Journal of Music History Pedagogy *A dizzying array of technology is now available to assist teachers and students in accessing music. While recorded versions of many genres of music have been readily available for generations, tools such as YouTube.com, Pandora.com, and Grooveshark.com have made a variety of recordings available for free. Additionally, a variety of computer programs and games allow students to mix, analyze, and play with music as never before. In editing Pop-Culture Pedagogy in the Classroom, Biamonte (McGill Univ., Canada) has assembled a timely collection of essays that assist classroom practitioners and those interested in music education. The book deals with pertinent issues such as building listening skills through sound-mixing techniques, integrating aural skills and formal analysis through popular music, and using American Idol to introduce music criticism. The chapters mix explanations of some of the key concepts related to various learning objectives for students with practical ideas and techniques related to how to teach these in the classroom using aspects of popular technology with which students are familiar. A strong complement to Thomas Rudolph's Teaching Music with Technology (2004). Summing Up: Recommended. General readers; upper-division undergraduate students and above. * CHOICE *

Rlpg/Galleys Corresponding with Carlos
Book SynopsisCarlos Kleiber (1930-2004) was the greatest conductor of his generation. His reputation is legendary, and yet astonishingly, in his five decades on the podium, he conducted only 89 concerts, some 600 opera performances, and produced 12 recordings. How did someone who worked so little compared to his peers achieve so much?Between his relatively small output and well-known aversion to publicity, many came to regard Kleiber as reclusive and remote, bordering on unapproachable. But in 1989 a conducting student at Stanford University wrote him a letter, and an unusual thing occurred: the world-renowned conductor replied. And so began a 15-year correspondence, study, and friendship by mail. Drawing heavily on this decade-and-a-half exchange, Corresponding with Carlos is the first English-language biography of Kleiber ever written. Charles Barber offers unique insights into how Kleiber worked based on their long and detailed correspondence. This biography by one friend of another considers,Trade ReviewThere's much, much more to Kleiber than the myth-making. At least there is now, thanks to Charles Barber's astonishing new book, Corresponding with Carlos: A Biography of Carlos Kleiber. Charles had a unique relationship with Kleiber. As a conducting student at Stanford University, with dazzling boldness and naivety, he wrote to Kleiber out of the blue and said he wanted to study with him. The key was Barber's use of humour and irony to attempt to elicit a response from Kleiber – it worked. Barber never formally became a student of Kleiber's (nobody ever did), but from 1989 until the maestro's death, he corresponded with the supposedly unknowable Carlos, and as well as vivid account of Kleiber's life, Barber's book publishes pretty well the complete letters he received. And they're a revelation. Kleiber proves as virtuosically funny and self-deprecating as he was incandescent on the podium....Barber's book does more than any other I know to simultaneously reveal the truth behind the Kleiber myths and to illuminate the deeper mystery of how his recordings and films continue to have such a talismanic power. This is a brilliant summary of Kleiber's way of making music. * The Guardian *Barber is artistic director of City Opera Vancouver, with a longstanding, busy career in California music life, including contributions to Classical Voice. Corresponding With Carlos: A Biography of Carlos Kleiber offers unique insights into how Kleiber worked. This biography considers his singular aesthetic, his playful and often erudite sense of humor, his reputation for perfectionism, his much-studied baton technique, and the famous concert and opera performances he conducted. It explores the great conductor’s musical lineage and the contemporary contexts in which he worked. * San Francisco Classical Voice *Once the book turns from biographical sketch to lively correspondence, we get the thrill of reading—hearing—the voice of Carlos Kleiber, and all is light. * The Wall Street Journal *Charles Barber's book on Carlos Kleiber is fascinating, remarquable and unexpected....Rich in details....it contains unique jewels as one can appreciate Kleiber's encyclopedic knowledge....While Charles Barber’s book is comprehensive, it is easy to read and the author fascination and respect is palpable at every page....This is probably the musical book of the year. * ConcertoNet: The Classical Music Network *Charles Barber’s Corresponding with Carlos: A Biography of Carlos Kleiber represents an admiring younger conductor’s efforts, begun during his graduate-student days, to draw out a brilliant but eccentric and reclusive maestro through multiple layers of correspondence. * SymphonyNOW *This is mainly a book so fascinating that for once the ‘impossible to put down’ cliché is appropriate. Charles Barber was, in 1989, a young music teacher and conductor who sent a short letter to Kleiber, and to his amazement received a reply a few days later. He wanted to be Kleiber’s student, but there could be no question of that. Instead, they became frequent correspondents, and all of Kleiber’s letters concerning music are published here, with enough of Barber’s to make the exchanges intelligible….What makes Kleiber’s correspondence with Barber especially interesting is that Barber regularly sent Kleiber video cassettes of the great conductors, eliciting a deluge of comments on their style, greatness (or weaknesses), and their music. Kleiber’s criticism alternates with his commentary on his own slender repertoire and his growing distaste for conducting….The first 180 pages are devoted to a biographical sketch, with many quotations from letters: illuminating, but I doubt whether many readers will be able to resist the temptation to leap ahead to the epistolary section. * BBC Music Magazine *As a musician and old Kleiber fan, one cannot resist the temptation to whole-heartedly recommend this book. * Teatro Colón Magazine *‘An artist par excellence’, and ‘creativity par exellence’ - those are the definitions that come to mind when one thinks of Carlos Kleiber. Each time he conducted, it seemed that the music was being created anew that very moment in all its greatness, beauty and freshness. How wonderful that now we have a book about this genius. Bravo and many heartfelt thanks to Dr. Charles Barber for his work! -- Evgeny Kissin, pianistHaving heard most of the world's best conductors in the last 35 years, I can safely say that none brought so much passion, energy and exquisite musicality and beauty to their work as did Carlos Kleiber. La Bohéme and Der Rosenkavalier under his baton at the Met will remain among my most treasured memories. In this fascinating work Charles Barber offers a rare glimpse into the enigma that was Carlos Kleiber. -- Valéry Ryvkin, conductor

Scarecrow Press The Use of the International Phonetic Alphabet in
Book SynopsisThe fusion of text with music is one of the most powerful methods by which a composer can express emotion to an audience, yet, all too often, the diction of choral groups is lacking to such a degree as to make the text unintelligible. So argues Duane R. Karna, who in The Use of the International Phonetic Alphabet in the Choral Rehearsal brings together 30 essays by experts from around the world to describe how the character symbols of the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) can be used by singers in the choral rehearsal. In an effort to conquer one of the greatest challenges facing choral directors and their choirs, contributors explore the use of the IPA system in a vast range of languages. Readers will find essays devoted to the use of IPA on matters of lyric diction for the following tongues: Baltic Languages, Basque, Brazilian Portuguese, Chinese, Dutch, Ecclesiastical Latin, English, Finnish, French, Georgian, German, Germanic Latin, Greek, Hawaiian, Hebrew, Hungarian, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Norwegian, Polish, Romanian, Russian, Spanish, Swahili, and Swedish. Holding firmly to the belief that basic instruction in IPA character is part of a choir's training, Karna and his contributors see enormous potential for choirs to expand considerably their foreign-language repertoire and save considerable rehearsal time. The Use of the International Phonetic Alphabet in the Choral Rehearsal is the ideal primer for choral directors and choirmasters as well as choir members.Trade ReviewThe Use of the International Phonetic Alphabet in the Choral Rehearsal addresses a great need in the area of choral musicians: the ability to use diction in their practice and performance in order to enhance the pronunciation of the words that blend with the music. As the editor states, "All too often, the diction of choral groups is lacking to such a degree as to make the text unintelligible" (back cover). It is the editors hope that implementing the teaching of this volume will expand the foreign-language capability of choral musicians, enhancing their overall performance. After introductory chapters on the use of the International Phonetic Alphabet in rehearsal and vowel and consonant modification in the choral setting, each chapter focuses on one specific language: English, Latin, German, French, Spanish, Hebrew, Romanian, Japanese, Swahili, Greek, Russian, and Polish, just to name a few. The contributors go into great deal about the diction of each language, focusing on the most common and troublesome words. The volume concludes with an appendix of four sample songs. * American Reference Books Annual *Singers of classical music face a particular challenge: the works they perform are often in languages other than their native language. Voice students and their teachers can find help with pronunciation in books about diction for singers, many of which use the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA). A seminal example is Phonetic Readings of Songs and Arias, by Berton Coffin et al. (1964; 2nd ed., 1982). Such books are usually intended for solo singers of English, French, German, or Italian repertory. In contrast, the present volume is intended for choirs and is much broader in scope. Karna (Ball State Univ.), who is a veteran academic choral director, opens this collection with an essay (coauthored by Sue Goodenow) on effectively teaching IPA in choral rehearsals. He then presents essays by experienced choral directors and professional singers with special language expertise. These essays provide basic IPA guidelines for singing in 25 different languages and are not choir-focused. Thus, the information they provide is appropriate for choral singers and solo singers alike. This book certainly belongs in academic music libraries and public libraries with significant music collections. Summing Up: Recommended. Lower-division undergraduates through faculty; professionals. * CHOICE *The Use of the IPA in the Choral Rehearsal by Duane Karna is a valuable resource for singers and conductors. . . .Very few publications supply the breadth and depth of languages that is collated by Karna in this book. It is a valuable resource for anyone who works with singers, whether it is in the secondary classroom, university lecture room, from the podium, or in a private studio. * International Choral Bulletin *This very useful volume brings together information in one place regarding choral pronunciation, imparted via the International Phonetic Alphabet (hereafter IPA), of 25 different languages. . . .[T]his volume will be most useful to the choral conductor in providing perspective on diction issues for a broad range of languages, whether or not the IPA orthography makes its way to the choral folder or not. * Music Reference Services Quarterly *The volume proves to be a useful starting reference for conductors interested in creating IPA charts for their choirs. * Choral Journal *Advocating the use of IPA to voice teachers is preaching to the choir, for they regularly employ the pronunciation tool. Nevertheless, studio instructors are recommended to peruse this useful volume, for they will find it offers valuable assistance with less commonly sung languages. The convenience of having a reference guide to so many languages in one source is incalculable, particularly when resources for some of the languages are difficult to find. Studio instructors are encouraged to explore this most useful volume-and to share the recommendation with their choral colleagues. * Journal of Singing *Table of ContentsForeword, Thomas Goleeke Preface The IPA Symbols The Use of the IPA in the Choral Rehearsal, Duane Karna Vowel and Consonant Modification for Choirs, John Nix English Diction, Thomas Goleeke Ecclesiastical Latin, Andrew Crow Italian, Susan Bender German Diction, Kathleen Maurer Germanic Latin in Carl Orff’s Carmina Burana, Hank Dahlman French Diction, Kathleen Maurer Spanish Diction and the IPA, Joshua Habermann Hebrew, Ethan Nash Romanian Language and Pronunciation, Bogdan Minut Japanese Diction for Singers, Minoru Yamada Chinese Pronunciation Guide for Western Singers, Mei Zhong Korean Diction, Soojeong Lee Singing Brazilian Portuguese, Martha Herr and Wladimir Mattos Swahili for Native English Language Choral Singers, Stephan Wilson and Kathleen Wilson Basque Diction, Gotzon Ibarretxe and Kepa Larrea Hawaiian Diction and the IPA, Joshua Habermann Hungarian, Harald Jers and Ágnes Farkas Baltic Languages: Latvian, Lithuanian, and Estonian, Heather M.

Anthroposophic Press Inc The Inner Nature of Music and the Experience of
Book SynopsisA tone is at the foundation of everything in the physical world.This is one of many astonishing statements made by Rudolf Steiner in this collection of seven lectures on the inner realities of music. These lectures are an unusual treasure as they are the only two groups of lectures that Steiner gave primarily on music, other than the lecture cycle for the tone eurythmy course, Eurythmy as Visible Music.In the first group of three lectures, given in 1906, Steiner explains why music affects the human soul so powerfully. Music has always held a special position among the arts because it is the only art form whose archetype, or source, lies not in the physical world, as with architecture, sculpture, and painting, but purely in the spiritual world-the soul''s true home. Music thus directly expresses through tones the innermost essence of the cosmos, and our sense of well-being when we hear music comes from a recognition of our soul''s experience in the spiritual world.In the remaining lectures, given in 1922-23, Steiner discusses our experience of musical intervals and shows how it has undergone profound changes during the course of evolution. The religious effects of music in ancient times and the union of music with speech are considered, as well as the origin of musical instruments out of imaginations that accompanied singing. New insights are offered on the nature of the major and minor modes and on future directions of musical development.
