Michael Kilgarriff
R1,622 Discovery Miles 16 220 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

Michael Kilgarriff's compilation of some 20,000 popular song titles, 1860-1920, provides for the first time in one volume answers to the questions which excite Music Hall and popular song enthusiasts more than anything in life: who wrote what and when, and who sang it? The criteria for a song's inclusion are popularity, topicality, and significance in the career of its singer. Also included are titles still remembered and performed, for it is at today's Music Hall performers and producers that these checklists are primarily aimed. The non-active enthusiast and the casual enquirer will also find much of value herein, if only because the information offered is not readily available elsewhere. Many specialist libraries and collections are not open to the public. The importance of Sing Us One of the Old Songs is to bring much previously inaccessible material within general reach.

Popular Music in Theory - An Introduction (Paperback): K Negus Popular Music in Theory - An Introduction (Paperback)
K Negus
R787 Discovery Miles 7 870 Ships in 18 - 22 working days

"Popular Music in Theory "provides a critical introduction to the key theoretical issues which arise in the study of contemporary popular music.


This book is organized in a way that shows how popular music is created across a series of relationships that link together industry and audiences, producers and consumers. Starting from the dichotomy between production and consumption which characterizes much work on popular culture, Negus explores the equally significant social processes that intervene between and across the production-consumption divide, examining the ways that popular music is mediated by a series of technological, cultural, historical, geographical and political factors. This broad framework provides signposts to various tracks taken by the sounds and images of popular music, and also highlights distinctive theoretical routes into the study of contemporary popular music.


This volume is intended mainly for undergraduate and postgraduate students taking courses in sociology, media and communication studies, and cultural studies. However, it will also appeal to those who enjoy thinking and talking about popular music and who might like to delve a little deeper.

In der Gestalt des Nabucco vereinen sich die drei altorientalischen Herrscher Nebukadnezar II, Nabonid und Kyros II.

S. Redhead
R3,020 Discovery Miles 30 200 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

In "Subculture to Clubcultures" Steve Redhead responds to the separation of 'youth' and 'pop' in the 1980s and the fragmentation of the audience for popular music in the 1990s, arguing for a redefinition of the conceptual apparatus needed to explain the most recent developments in popular music culture - from the rise of 'Clubcultures' to the future of the popular music scene. The coverage in this book includes: the dance pop culture of the 1980s and 1990s; global youth culture as it was dynamized in this period by Garage, House, Electro, Techno and other contemporary dance music forms; and, the consequences of this for the continued importance of various forms of rock and pop music and a range of theoretical approaches to the economic and cultural condition of the postmodern.

R1,216 Discovery Miles 12 160 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

Seit den 1960er Jahren steigt in Europa die Zahl der judischen Kulturerbeprojekte. Im Gedenken an die Schoa suchen Nichtjuden die Relikte der Vergangenheit zu bewahren und lassen dabei nicht selten die gegenwartigen judischen Gemeinden ausser Acht. Die Autorinnen unterziehen diese Praxis des "authorized heritage" einer kritischen Betrachtung. Mit Blick auf das judische Kulturerbe Musik enthullen sie vor dem Hintergrund aktueller Debatten um kulturelle Nachhaltigkeit die Gefahren von Konstruktion, kultureller Aneignung und Instrumentalisierung des Erbes. Mit der Diskussion innerjudischer Nachhaltigkeitskonzepte, flankiert von philosophischen Thesen zum Erbe und zur Verantwortung fur den Anderen, werden Denkanstoesse fur einen neuen, zukunftsorientierten Umgang mit judischem Kulturerbe gegeben.

Am 15. September 1680 fand die feierliche Translation der Reliquien der Katakombenheiligen Sergius, Bacchus, Hyacinthus und Erasmus im Kloster St. Gallen statt. Als Director musicae bekam der Stiftsorganist Pater Valentin Muller (Molitor) die Aufgabe, die Musik fur die Feier zu verfassen. 1681 wurde ein Teil des dafur komponierten Repertoires unter dem Titel Missa una cum tribus Mottetis in Solemni Translatione SS. MM. Sergii, Bacchi, Hyacinthi et Erasmi ab octo vocibus concertantibus, et 7. Instrumentis, sed tantium quatuor necessariis in Monasterio S. Galli decantata herausgegeben. Der im Kloster St. Gallen produzierte Musikdruck enthalt ein vollstandiges Ordinarium missae (Kyrie, Gloria, Credo, Sanctus und Agnus Dei) sowie drei Motetten. Grandios ist die aufwendige Besetzung mit zwei vierstimmigen Choeren sowie einem reichen, dem Festcharakter angemessenen Instrumentarium. Die Musik stellt damit ein wertvolles Zeugnis des benediktinischen Musikrepertoires dar, wie es im Kloster St. Gallen in der zweiten Halfte des 17. Jahrhunderts gepflegt wurde. Der vorliegende Band enthalt die vollstandige kritische Ausgabe der 1681 erschienenen Werke von Pater Valentin Muller (Molitor) sowie eine historische Einleitung.

Komponieren - im Sinne eines Entwerfens und Entwickelns von Musik als Schreibvorgang und gedanklicher Prozess - ist direkt verbunden mit einem jeweils spezifischen neuzeitlichen Kunstlerbild und Kunstbegriff. Dieser Band hat zum Ziel, die musikalische Skizzenforschung aus der unmittelbaren Verbindung zur philologischen Erschliessung von Werkgenesen zu loesen und in den groesseren Kontext einer Schreib- und Kreativitatsforschung zu stellen. Bezogen auf die drei Schwerpunkte Schriftbildlichkeit, Rekonstruktion des musikalischen Denkens und interdisziplinarer Methodendiskurs werden neue Ansatze fur die Musik des langen 19. Jahrhunderts diskutiert. UEbergeordnet soll der Band dazu beitragen, das Studium der Skizzen als eine als Problemgeschichte des Komponierens zu definierenden Kulturgeschichte musikalischen Schaffens formulieren zu koennen.

Craig Mishler
R1,255 R1,165 Discovery Miles 11 650 Save R90 (7%) Ships in 10 - 15 working days

Named for a popular local fiddle tune, The Crooked Stovepipe is a rollicking, detailed, first-ever study of the indigenous fiddle music and social dancing enjoyed by the Gwich'in Athapaskan Indians and other tribal groups in northeast Alaska, the Yukon, and the northwest territories. Though the music has obvious roots in the British Isles, French Canada, and the American South, the Gwich'in have used it in shaping their own aesthetic, which is apparent in their choice of fiddle tunings, bowing techniques, foot clogging, and a distinctively stratified tune repertoire. Craig Mishler treats this rural subarctic artistic tradition as a distinctive regional style akin to Cajun, bluegrass, or string-band music. He uses convergence theory as the framework for showing how this aesthetic came about. His skillful use of personal anecdotes, interviews, music examples, dance diagrams, and photographs will appeal to general readers interested in folk music and dance, as well as to specialists.

Swingin' the Dream - Big Band Jazz and the Rebirth of American Culture (Paperback, New edition): Lewis A. Erenberg Swingin' the Dream - Big Band Jazz and the Rebirth of American Culture (Paperback, New edition)
Lewis A. Erenberg
R843 Discovery Miles 8 430 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

During the 1930s, swing bands combined jazz and popular music to create large-scale dreams for the Depression generation, capturing the imagination of America's young people, music critics, and the music business. "Swingin' the Dream" explores that world, looking at the racial mixing-up and musical swinging-out that shook the nation and has kept people dancing ever since.
""Swingin' the Dream" is an intelligent, provocative study of the big band era, chiefly during its golden hours in the 1930s; not merely does Lewis A. Erenberg give the music its full due, but he places it in a larger context and makes, for the most part, a plausible case for its importance."--Jonathan Yardley, "Washington Post Book World"
"An absorbing read for fans and an insightful view of the impact of an important homegrown art form."--"Publishers Weekly"
" A] fascinating celebration of the decade or so in which American popular music basked in the sunlight of a seemingly endless high noon."--Tony Russell, "Times Literary Supplement"

R1,189 Discovery Miles 11 890 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

Gustav Mahler war ein ungemein energischer Kunstler. Sein berufliches Leben verbrachte er meistens intensiv probend und dirigierend. Seine recht abenteuerliche "aussere" Biographie liest sich wie ein Roman. Daneben existiert eine nicht weniger vielschichtige "innere" Biographie. Diese ist gepragt von literarischer Bildung, Religiositat und Weltanschauung im weitesten Sinne, aber auch Fragen der AEsthetik, die hier unter dem Begriff der Spiritualitat vereint sind. Sie bildet den geistigen Hintergrund fur seine Kompositionen. Der Band prasentiert die Ergebnisse einer Tagung in Hamburg zu dieser Thematik. Daneben enthalt er Beitrage uber Mahlers Beziehungen zu zwei Zeitgenossen: dem nahezu gleichaltrigen Edward Elgar und dem mehr als eine Generation jungeren Erich Wolfgang Korngold.

In Irving Berlin: The Formative Years, Charles Hamm traces the early years (1907-1914) of this most famous and distinctive American songwriter - author of such classics as `Always', `Cheek to Cheek', and `White Christmas'. The book shows how Berlin progressed from the kind of ethnic and vaudeville songs that reflected his immigrant background to being a writer of Broadway musical shows. Hamm brilliantly describes how Berlin emerged from the vital and complex social and cultural scene of New York to begin his rise as America's foremost songwriter.

Gene Lees
R768 Discovery Miles 7 680 Ships in 18 - 22 working days

This book is a celebration of the generation of popular singers which emerged during and after the war: singers such as Frank Sinatra, Peggy Lee, and Sarah Vaughan. Universally praised as intuitive performers, Gene Lees's expert analysis also shows them to be intelligent, skilful artists, didicated to their work. Sinatra is singled out for special praise: Lees describes him as 'our Poet Laureate, and best singer we've ever heard', and points out his technical virtuosity and his unique style of phrasing. The book also looks at some of the composers and lyricists whose material was finely tuned to suit the abilities of these new popular stars. A lyricist himself, Lees gives us an illuminating account of the language used by writers such as Johnny Mercer, their choice of subject matter, and their extraordinary gifts for rhyme and rhythm.
