The interdisciplinary approach of Music and Medieval Manuscripts is
modeled on the work of the scholar to whom the book is dedicated.
Professor Andrew Hughes is recognized internationally for his work
on medieval manuscripts, combining the areas of paleography,
performance, liturgy and music. All these areas of research are
represented in this collection with an emphasis on the continuity
between the physical characteristics of medieval manuscripts and
their different uses. Albert Derolez provides a landmark and
controversial essay on the origins of pre-humanistic script, while
Margaret Bent proposes a new interpretation of a famous passage
from a fifteenth-century poem by Martin Le Franc. Timothy McGee
contributes an innovative essay on late-medieval music, text and
rhetoric. David Hiley discusses musical changes and variation in
the offices of a major saint's feast, and Craig Wright presents an
original study of Guillaume Dufay. Jan Ziolkowski treats the topic
of neumed classics, an under-explored aspect of the history of
medieval pedagogy and the transmission of texts. The essays that
comprise this volume offer a unique focus on medieval manuscripts
from a wide range of perspectives, and will appeal to musicologists
and medievalists alike.

The Real Books are the best-selling jazz books of all time. Since
the 1970s, musicians have trusted these volumes to get them through
every gig, night after night. The problem is that the books were
illegally produced and distributed without any copyrights or
royalties paid to the master composers who created these musical
canons. Hal Leonard is very proud to present the first legitimate
and legal editions of these books ever produced. You won't even
notice the difference...the covers look the same, the engravings
look the same, the songlist is nearly identical, and the price
remains fair even on a musician's salary! But every conscientious
musician will appreciate that these books are now produced legally
and ethically, benefitting the songwriters that we owe for some of
the greatest music ever written! 400 songs, including: Air Mail
Special * Birdland * Bye Bye Blackbird * Caravan * Doxy * Fly Me to
the Moon (In Other Words) * Georgia * Girl Talk * I Remember You *
I Thought About You * In Walked Bud * The Jodi Grind * Just the Way
You Are * Killer Joe * Little Sunflower * Mercy, Mercy, Mercy *
Moanin' * The Nearness of You * Now's the Time * Old Devil Moon *
Phase Dance * St. Thomas * Speak Low * Stardust * Tangerine * Tenor
Madness * Watch What Happens * Whisper Not * Willow Weep for Me *
Yardbird Suite * and more.
Music is central to any film, creating a tone for the movie that is
just as vital as the visual and narrative components. In recent
years, racial and gender diversity in film has exploded, and the
making of musical scores has changed drastically.
"Hearing Film" offers the first critical examination of music in
the films of the 1980s and 1990s and looks at the burgeoning role
of compiled scores in the shaping of a film . In the first section,
"A Woman Scored," Kassabian analyzes desire and agency in the music
of such films as "Dangerous" "Liaisons, Desert Hearts, Bagdad Cafe,
Dirty Dancing" and "Thelma and Louise." In "At the Twilight's Last
Scoring," she looks at gender, race, sexuality and assimilation in
the music of "The Hunt for Red October, Lethal Weapon 2" and
"Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom." And finally, in "Opening
Scores," she considers how films such as "Dangerous Minds, The
Substitute, Mississippi Masala" and "Corrina, Corrina" bring
together several different entry points of identification through
their scores.
Kassabian ensures that modern film criticism has a new chapter
written through this book. Her important and long-overdue analysis
is not to be ignored. Also includes 11 musical examples.
First Published in 2000. Routledge is an imprint of Taylor &
Francis, an informa company.
As the follow-up to his best-selling book Shredding Bach, master
shredder German Schauss covers yet another all-time great musician.
Niccolo Paganini, whose lifestyle and fame were similar to that of
a modern rockstar, was undoubtedly one of the greatest virtuosos
that ever lived. His skills were so advanced that many believed he
had made a pact with the devil. Paganini's practice schedule (15
hours a day), combined with a genetic connective tissue disorder
that gave him "impossible" reach and flexibility with his fingers,
resulted in extremely demanding and exciting compositions for
shredders of any era. Paganini's works, which showcase his
extraordinary skills, are perfect for the heavy metal style and
will stretch your playing to the limits. The accompanying CD
features all of the examples recorded at multiple speeds to help
you practice and get you on your way to mastering Paganini's
challenging compositions.

A new edition of the hugely successful musical by Steven Levenson,
Benj Pasek and Justin Paul, published alongside its West End
premiere and featuring exclusive content. A letter that was never
meant to be seen, a lie that was never meant to be told, a life he
never dreamed he could have. Evan Hansen is about to get the one
thing he's always wanted: a chance to belong. Both deeply personal
and profoundly contemporary, Dear Evan Hansen is a groundbreaking
musical about truth, fiction, and the price we're willing to pay
for the possibility to connect. The production opened in Washington
DC in 2015, off-Broadway in 2016, and on Broadway later that year,
before winning six Tony Awards including Best Musical, Best Book
and Best Score, and the Grammy Award for Best Musical Theater
Album. This official West End edition is published alongside the
production's transfer to London's Noel Coward Theatre in 2019. It
features the complete book and lyrics of the show, plus exclusive
bonus content and colour photographs of the West End production.
'Dear Evan Hansen lodges in your head long after you've seen it or
heard it or read it. It feels like a pure expression from young
writers at a crossroad of coming to terms with who they are and
what they want to say about the world' James Lapine, from his
