Centre and Periphery, Roots and Exile - Interpreting the Music of Istvan Anhalt, Gyoergy Kurtag, and Sandor Veress (Paperback):... Centre and Periphery, Roots and Exile - Interpreting the Music of Istvan Anhalt, Gyoergy Kurtag, and Sandor Veress (Paperback)
Friedemann Sallis, Robin Elliott, Kenneth DeLong
R1,554 Discovery Miles 15 540 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

This book examines the impact place and displacement can have on the composition and interpretation of Western art music, using as its primary objects of study the work of Istvan Anhalt (1919-2012), Gyoergy Kurtag (1926-), and Sandor Veress (1907-92). Although all three composers are of Hungarian origin, their careers followed radically different paths. Whereas, Kurtag remained in Budapest for most of his career, Anhalt and Veress left: the former in 1946 and immigrated to Canada and the latter in 1948 and settled in Switzerland. All three composers have had an extraordinary impact in the cultural environments within which their work took place. In the first section, ""Place and Displacement,"" contributors examine what happens when composers and their music migrate in the culturally complex world of the late twentieth century. The past one hundred years produced record numbers of refugees, and this fact is now beginning to resonate in the study of music. As Anhalt himself forcefully asserts, however, not all composers who emigrate should be understood as exiles. The first chapters of this book explore some of the problems and questions surrounding this issue. Essays in the second section, ""Perspectives on Reception, Analysis, and Interpretation,"" look at how performing acts of interpretation on music implies bringing the time, place, and identity of the musician, the analyst, and the teacher to bear on the object of study. Like Kodaly, Kurtag considers his work to be ""naturally"" embedded in Hungarian culture, but he is also a quintessentially European artist. Much of his production - he is one of the twentieth century's most prolific composers of vocal music - involves the setting of Hungarian texts, but in the late 1970s his cultural horizons expanded to include texts in Russian, German, French, English, and ancient Greek. The book explores how musicologists' divergent cultural perspectives impinge on the interpretation of this work. The final section, ""The Presence of the Past and Memory in Contemporary Music,"" examines the impact time and memory can have on notions of place and identity in music. All living art taps into the personal and collective past in one way or another. The final four chapters look at various aspects of this relationship.

Music Traditions, Cultures, and Contexts (Paperback, New): Robin Elliott, Gordon E Smith Music Traditions, Cultures, and Contexts (Paperback, New)
Robin Elliott, Gordon E Smith
R1,330 Discovery Miles 13 300 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

"Music Traditions, Cultures, and Contexts" is a tribute to the ethnomusicologist Beverley Diamond in recognition of her outstanding scholarly accomplishments. The volume includes essays by leading ethnomusicologists and music scholars as well as a biographical introduction.

The book's contributors engage many of the critical themes in Diamond's work, including musical historiography, musical composition in historical and contemporary frameworks, performance in diverse contexts, gender issues, music and politics, and how music is nested in and relates to broader issues in society. The essays raise important themes about knowing and understanding musical traditions and music itself as an agent of social, cultural, and political change. "Music Traditions, Cultures, and Contexts" will appeal to music scholars and students, as well as to a general audience interested in learning about how music functions as social process as well as sound.

Music and Literature in German Romanticism (Hardcover): Siobhan Donovan, Robin Elliott Music and Literature in German Romanticism (Hardcover)
Siobhan Donovan, Robin Elliott; Contributions by Andrea Huebener, David Hill, David Larkin, …
R3,274 Discovery Miles 32 740 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

Essays on the synthesis of the musical and literary arts in German Romanticism. The interrelationship between music and literature reached its zenith during the Romantic era, and nowhere was this relationship more pronounced than in Germany. Many representatives of literary and philosophical German Romanticism held music to be the highest and most expressive, quintessentially Romantic art form, able to convey what cannot be expressed in words: the ineffable and metaphysical. The influence was reciprocal, with literature providing a rich source of inspiration for German composers of both instrumental and vocal music, giving rise to a wealth of new forms and styles. The essays in this volume are selected from papers presented at an international, interdisciplinary conference held at University College Dublin in December 2000, and include contributions from Germanists, musicologists, comparatists, and performance artists. This interdisciplinarity makes for informed and complementary approaches and arguments. The essays cover not only the "Romantic" nineteenth century (commencing with the early Romanticism of the Jena circle), but also look ahead to the legacy, reception, and continuation of German Romanticism in the modern and postmodern ages. Alongside new readings of familiar and established writers and composers such as Goethe, Hoffmann, Wagner, and Schubert, a case is made for other figures such as Wackenroder, Novalis, Schlegel, Schumann, Brahms, Liszt, and Berlioz, as well as less-known figures such as Ritter, Schneider, and Termen, and for a reconsideration of questions of categorization. The essays will appeal to readers with a wide variety of academic, musical, and literary interests. Siobhan Donovan is a Lecturer in the Department of German at University College Dublin. Robin Elliott is Jean A. Chalmers Chair in Canadian Music at the University of Toronto.
