for SATBarB unaccompanied The shades of Finzi and Vaughan Williams
are strongly present in these three delightful unaccompanied choral
settings, and yet the style and execution are wholly Rutter's own.
O mistress mine is a jaunty jazz waltz, Be not afeard casts a
dreamy spell with dusky sonorities and magical harmonies, and Sigh
no more, ladies brings the set to a cheerfully melodious and
high-spirited conclusion.
for SATB & piano/orchestra Here John Rutter uses oriental
musical influences to create a highly original arrangement of the
popular Christmas carol. The verses are dark and mysterious in
character, with warmth and joy radiating from the choruses. This
setting can also be found in Rutter's Christmas collection Joy to
the World. Scores and parts for the orchestral accompaniment are
available on sale.
In Uniting Music and Poetry in Twentieth-Century Spain, Nelson R.
Orringer uses both literary and musical analysis to study sung
poems in twentieth-century Spain. In nine chapters, each focusing
on an individual sung poem, song cycle, or various poems set by the
same composer, Orringer enriches and deepens interpretations of the
art-songs by comparing the poet's vision to the composer's. In
examining composers such as Falla, Turina, Mompou, Toldra, Rodrigo,
Montsalvatge, and Rodolfo Halffter, Orringer shows that Spanish
art-song is an exceptional product of Spain's Silver Age and
reveals a new way to understand and appreciate poems set to music
in twentieth-century Spain.
With a voice that Pitchfork has called "as scratchy as a three-day
beard yet as supple and pliable as moccasin leather," former
Screaming Trees and Queens of the Stone Age vocalist Mark Lanegan
draws frequent comparisons to wounded masters of doom like Tom
Waits, Nick Cave, and Leonard Cohen. But Lanegan's talents aren't
limited to his vocal skills. His lyrics are on par with the best of
them, exploring with Blakeian insight the stark and scorched
emotional terrain that exists somewhere beyond sadness, addiction,
trauma, and spiritual longing. Now, for the first time ever, the
reclusive singer presents a comprehensive look at his lyrics, the
stories behind them, and the making of his albums as well as
photos, insights, and ephemera from a long career in rock 'n' roll,
I Am the Wolf gives fans a rare and candid glimpse into the inner
workings of a living-and singular-rock legend.
Tangle of Matter & Ghost: Leonard Cohen's Post-Secular Songbook
of Mysticism(s) Jewish & beyond analyzes the lyrical poetry of
Leonard Cohen through a post-secular lens. The volume fuses
sophisticated theory and popular culture with critical analysis
that is lacking in most of the rock n' roll biographies about
Leonard Cohen. How does this mystical maestro's songbook emerge to
illuminate questions of meaning making in a post-secular context
when correlated with thinkers like Charles Taylor, Edward S. Casey,
Jurgen Habermas, Slavoj Zizek, Jeffrey Kripal and Harold Bloom
along with others. Cohen's mysticism is also analyzed in
relationship to Kabbalah, Hasidism and Rinzai Buddhism. Tangle of
Matter & Ghost presents a unique inter-disciplinary approach to
Jewish philosophy and literary studies with wide appeal for diverse
audiences and readership.
