Hogwood, Christopher.
Handel / Christopher Hogwood ; chronological table by Anthony Hicks / rev. ed.
London New York : Thames & Hudson, 2007.
Contents: 1. Halle and Hamburg (1685-1706) -- 2. The Italian Years (1706-10) -- 3. London: the Heyday of Opera (1710-28) -- 4. London: the Decline of Opera (1729-37) -- 5. London: the Oratorios (1737- 59) -- 6. Handel and Posterity.
Summary: "George Friedrich Handel remains one of the unchallenged geniuses of musical history. Yet many revealing and fascinating aspects of his work have been obscured by generations of adulation, prejudice or misinterpretation. Christopher Hogwood takes us back to the original Handel, blending the evidence from documents of all kinds with judicious biographical observations as well as a delightful selection of illustrations." "The result is a comprehensive and entertaining portrait of the developing character and career of Handel from his early years as a young man in Halle and Hamburg, through his apprenticeship in Italy, to the heyday of opera and oratorio in London. An important chapter, 'Handel and Posterity', traces the progress of the Handel legend down to our own time, and a chronological table by Anthony Hicks outlines major events in the composer's life and musical career. In this revised edition, Christopher Hogwood has added a detailed analysis of new insights in to Handel since first publication."--BOOK JACKET.

Summary: "In Musicophilia, Oliver Sacks examines the powers of music through the individual experiences of patients, musicians, and everyday people - from a man who is struck by lightning and suddenly inspired to become a pianist at the age of forty-two, to an entire group of children with Williams syndrome who are hypermusical from birth; from people with "amusia," to whom a symphony sounds like the clattering of pots and pans, to a man whose memory spans only seven seconds - for everything but music." "Our exquisite sensitivity to music can sometimes go wrong: Sacks explores how catchy tunes can subject us to hours of mental replay, and how a surprising number of people acquire nonstop musical hallucinations that assault them night and day. Yet far more frequently, music goes right: Sacks describes how music can animate people with Parkinson's disease who cannot otherwise move, give words to stroke patients who cannot otherwise speak, and calm and organize people whose memories are ravaged by Alzheimer's or amnesia." "Music is irresistible, haunting, and unforgettable, and in Musicophilia, Oliver Sacks tells us why."--BOOK JACKET.
