    Book SynopsisThe Göttingen Handel Festival had to be canceled in the anniversary year 2020, apart from a few digital substitute events, like almost all other music festivals. This also affected the annual symposium and the lecture, which each make up the main part of the GHB. Nevertheless, there are good reasons why the Handel Society decided to keep the GHB published on a regular basis. The present volume therefore brings together, inspired by the anniversary year, five independent contributions that are dedicated to particular aspects of Handel's reception in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. This includes a documentation of the Göttingen anniversary exhibition from 2020. Oskar Hagen's text adaptation of Handel's 'Rodelinda', which was created for the Göttingen performance in 1920, will also be republished for the occasion.

    Book SynopsisFor an up-and-coming court musician of the early 18th century, as is also the case with Handel, it would have been obvious to turn to Italy. Contact with a French-influenced court musician would also have recommended a stay in Paris; in the German-speaking area, stays in Dresden, Wolfenbüttel or Vienna would also have been conceivable. A trip to London, on the other hand, was not completely isolated, but unusual enough. It was the aim of last year's Handel Symposium to further narrow down and sharpen these music-specific requirements. The new volume contains all contributions as well as the lecture and, as always, is supplemented by the bibliography on Handel's literature and the communications of the Göttingen Handel Society.

    Book SynopsisThe prelude has a long history. Originating in the 16th century from the improvisatory use of an instrument and the introduction of a key, it reached its apogee in the Baroque period with Bach, Handel or Couperin as a playful form with triads and rapid passages. In the 19th century, the prelude broke new ground as an imaginative instrumental piece. Chopin and Debussy created a variety of forms and character pieces in their préludes, some with programmatic titles or as descriptions of images of nature or figurations. In the 20th century, composers such as Eduard Pütz and Nikolai Kapustin also opened up the prelude to stylistic features of jazz. This volume is a ''melodious history'' of the prelude and a treasure trove for lessons and for piano lovers who wish to discover something new. Works by Bach, Handel, Couperin, Bertini, Chopin, Heller, Kirchner, Debussy, Satie, Scriabin, Rachmaninoff, Gershwin, Kapustin, and many more.Instrumentation:piano

    15 in stock

    Book SynopsisDer vorliegende Band ist eine Arbeit zu musikalischen Aspekten der Koptischen Liturgie, die Musik der christlichen Gemeinschaft Agyptens. Die Musik einer der altesten christlichen Kulturen wird in der koptologischen sowie musikologischen Literatur nur wenig erwahnt und oft sogar ganz weggelassen. Aus den reichhaltigen Melodien der koptischen liturgischen Musik wurden die Melodien der Psalmodia gewahlt zu Analysen und musikalischen Transkriptionen. Die verschiedenen kirchlichen Festtage kennzeichnen sich durch verschiedene Melodien auf denselben Texten. Die Arbeit ist dreiteilig und besteht im ersten Teil aus einer kurzen Ubersicht uber die koptische Musikgeschichte, einer Einfuhrung in das nachtlichen Ritual Psalmodia mit ihren verschiedenen Auffuhrungen, aus Gesprachen mit Teilnehmern an dem Ritual Psalmodia, einer Literaturubersicht und Notationsbeispielen zeitgenossischer Ausfuhrenden. Der zweite Teil enthalt die Analysen der verschiedenen Festtagsmelodien, die in der Psalmodia zur Verwendung kommen. Verschiedene Interpretationen werden miteinander verglichen. Auffallend an den Analysen sind die musikalischen Formeln aus denen die verschiedenen Melodien wie mit farbigen Mosaiksteinen zusammengestellt sind und die Positionen an denen sie in den Melodien gefunden wurden. Im dritten Teil befinden sich die Transkriptionen der analysierten Melodien in westlicher Musiknotation. Auf einer dazu gefugten CD ist eine Auswahl der Gesange zu horen, wobei historische Aufnahmen abgewechselt werden mit Aufnahmen wahrend der Zeremonien oder mit Tonbandern, die Kantoren fur ihre Studenten zu Studienzwecken aufgenommen haben.

    1 in stock

    Book SynopsisLa musique vocale des Wolof, population majoritaire au Sénégal, est ici présentée à travers une étude comparative fondée sur les chants collectés entre 1950 et 2006, dans les trois régions traditionnelles - le Kajoor, le Saalum et le Waalo. L'inventaire de ces chants, leur analyse et leur catégorisation vernaculaire permettent d'éclairer la manière dont les Wolof ordonnent leur patrimoine musical. L'organologie, l'étude de la systématique et ses liens avec les circonstances de la pratique musicale, ainsi que la comparaison de diverses versions d'un même chant enrégistrées dans ces trois régions à des époques différentes, conduisent l'auteur à valider l'hypothèse d'une seule et même identité musicale wolof. Une telle approche - à la fois diachronique et synchronique - offre un éclairage sur les changements historiques et sociaux qui ont fortement influencé le statut et le rôle du musicien professionnel, le gewel, depuis l'époque des royaumes précoloniaux jusqu'à nos jours.

  • Peeters Publishers 'Gesamtkunstwerk': de ontwikkeling van een idee:

    1 in stock

    Book SynopsisHet begrip Gesamtkunstwerk wordt doorgaans met grote vanzelfsprekendheid gekoppeld aan de figuur van Richard Wagner. Hierbij wordt de specifieke inhoud van de term vaak verengd tot `het samenbrengen van de verschillende kunstvormen in een multimediaal totaalspektakel’. Dit boek schetst een tijdlijn die loopt van de Verlichting tot de Hoogromantiek in Duitsland, en wil door prominente denkers als Alexander Baumgarten, Immanuel Kant en E.T.A. Hoffmann in het verhaal te betrekken, peilen naar de diepste wortels van het Gesamtkunstwerk. Een brede culturele analyse van het tijdsgewricht waarin de notie tot stand kwam, verklaart waarom de muziek in de negentiende eeuw haar amusementsfunctie oversteeg en de voertaal werd om de dunne grens tussen rationaliteit en irrationaliteit, en tussen individu en samenleving, te thematiseren.

  • Peeters Publishers Music, Analysis, and the Body: Experiments,

    4 in stock

    Book SynopsisHow do our embodied experiences of music shape our analysis, theorizing, and interpretation of musical texts, and our engagement with practices including composing, improvising, listening, and performing? Music, Analysis, and the Body: Experiments, Explorations, and Embodiments is a pioneering and timely essay collection uniting major and emerging scholars to consider how theory and analysis address music’s literal and figurative bodies. The essayists offer critical overviews of different theoretical approaches to music analysis and embodiment, then test and demonstrate their ideas in specific repertoires. The range of musics analysed is diverse: Western art music sits alongside non-Western repertoires, folk songs, jazz, sound art, audio-visual improvisations, soundtracks, sing-alongs, live events, popular songs, and the musical analysis of non-musical experiences. Topics examined include affect, agency, energetics, feel, gesture, metaphor, mimesis, rehearsal, subjectivity, and the objects of music analysis – as well as acoustic ecology, alterity, class, distraction, excess, political authority, sensoriality, technology, and transcendence.

  • Peeters Publishers Sound and Sense in Franco-Flemish Music of the

    1 in stock

    Book SynopsisAccidentals in Renaissance music have long been a problem for performers and editors, for they are often not fully prescribed in Franco-Flemish music. In the 20th century, a set of ‘rules of musica ficta’ were assembled to describe performers’ practice in the 15th and 16th centuries, but the three primary rules contradict each other when applied to the repertory. The conflict forces one or more rules to be set aside in certain passages. Typically, modern editors sacrifice the linear rule in favor of harmonic aspects. The modern preference relies on a medieval concept—the exclusion of mi contra fa—which the author challenges. When the prohibition against mi contra fa is removed from singers' concerns, and understood as a rule aimed at composers—one they took delight in breaking at times—a proper balance between the three rules is regained, and an incisive and expanded harmonic world is revealed.
