General Books

UniM Music 780.92 SIBE/ BARN
Barnett, Andrew.
Sibelius.
New Haven [Conn.] ; London : Yale University Press, c2007.
Summary: "Informed by a wealth of information that has come to light in recent years, this biography tells the complete story of the life and musical work of Finnish composer Jean Sibelius (1865-1957). Drawing on Sibelius's own correspondence and diaries, contemporary reviews and the remarks of family and friends, the book presents a rich account of the events in the musician's life. In addition, this volume is the first to set every work and performable fragment by Sibelius in its historical and musical context. The biography also provides the first accurate information about much of the composer's early music." "Writing for the general music-lover, Andrew Barnett combines his own knowledge of Sibelius's music with the insights of other scholars and musicians. He lays to rest a number of myths and untruths - that Sibelius wrote no chamber music of value, for example, and that he stopped composing in 1926 and didn't need to compose to earn a living. Barnett completes the volume with the most thorough worklist available and a chronology of Sibelius's entire output."--BOOK JACKET.

UniM Music 780.92 ALKA/ EDDI
Eddie, William Alexander.
Charles Valentin Alkan : his life and his music.
Aldershot, Hants, England ; Burlington, VT : Ashgate, c2007.
Contents: Alkan : the historical and social background -- Apprentice works -- Development of a personal voice -- Etudes -- Sonata types for piano -- Morceaux caracteristiques -- The esquisses -- Arrangements and cadenzas -- Organ and pedalier music -- Piano and strings -- Miscellaneous compositions -- Stylistic dimensions -- Reception -- Performance practice -- Epilogue.
Summary: "This comprehensive survey takes as its focus a stylistic analysis of Alkan's compositions from the apprentice works to the later 'massed style' etudes; the latter are of considerable length and pianistic difficulty. There is also consideration of Alkan's achievements as pianist and teacher, and the sections on performance practice in Alkan will be of interest to pianists today. A full investigation of Alkan's reception history is also included and useful appendices provide a guide to further archival research. A list of works and basic discography complete this new study of an important French composer."--BOOK JACKET.

Summary: "This book discusses not only the applications of evolutionary computation to music, but also the tools needed to create and study such systems. These tools are drawn in part from research into the origins and evolution of biological organisms, ecologies, and cultural systems on the one hand,and from computer simulation methodologies on the other. They can be combined to create surrogate artificial worlds populated by interacting simulated organisms in which complex musical experiments can be performed that would otherwise be impossible." "This authoritative book, with contributions from experts from around the globe, demonstrates that evolutionary systems can be used to create and to study musical compositions and cultures in ways that have never before been achieved."--BOOK JACKET.

Hempel, Frieda, 1885-1955.
My golden age of singing / by Frieda Hempel ; annotated by William R. Moran ; with a prologue and epilogue by Elizabeth Johnston.
Portland, Or. : Amadeus Press, c1998.
Series: Opera biography series ; no. 10
Summary: Frieda Hempel (1885-1955) was among the brightest stars of opera's Golden Age, one of the first singers whose entire career could be documented by recordings. These captured a coloratura voice of great lyric beauty which Hempel used with remarkable intelligence in opera and on the concert stage. She created the Marschallin in Der Rosenkavalier in both Berlin and at the Met, where she debuted with Caruso in 1912, and her performances of Mozart and Verdi remain touchstones. Almost fifty years have elapsed between writing and publication of her autobiography. Elizabeth Johnston, Hempel's student, secretary, and companion, recalls that Hempel dictated a somewhat different account to her, which was published in German in 1955 as Mein Leben dem Gesang. But Johnston wisely arranged safekeeping for her mentor's original manuscript, an earlier version in which Hempel tells the definitive story of her life as she wished it to be known. That work appears here for the first time.
