Chase, Robert, 1938-
Memento mori : a guide to contemporary memorial music.
Lanham, Md. : Scarecrow Press, 2007.
Summary: "Memento Mori: A Guide to Contemporary Memorial Music lists modern settings of the requiem and other forms of memorial music. Robert Chase brings an unexplored territory of musical repertoire to public attention, offering descriptions of previously unfamiliar or little-known contemporary choral works devoted to the memorial theme. Through discussions of seventy-one composers with compositions from six continents, this book offers a general historical record of twentieth- and twenty-first-century memorial composition and shows a variety of musical styles representing various religious and secular traditions." "Presented alphabetically by composer, each entry contains a brief biography emphasizing the composer's choral output and a description of the work, including its origin, edition(s) of the music, length of the composition, structure and orchestration of the piece, and any known recordings. Memento Mori also provides numerous poetic texts, such as Armenian, Latvian, and German poetry, translated into English for the first time. A bibliography, a list of more than 400 additional contemporary composers and their works, and appendixes of English translations of Latin texts of the Roman Catholic requiem mass conclude this invaluable reference."--BOOK JACKET.

Notes: Accompanying CD contains audio examples. CD published by Smithsonian Folkways.
Contents: Prelude : Those who do not listen to our songs and change their behavior will land in problems"-- Introduction : Music is taken as a medicine : singing for life in a time of AIDS -- HIV/AIDS, jackfruit, and banana weevils : music and medical interventions in Uganda -- Interlude 1 : Florence Kumunhyu's testimony -- What you sing nourishes your body like food -- Interlude 2 : Our problems are bigger than AIDS -- A conversation with Dr. Alex Muganzi Muganga -- No one will listen to us unless we bring our drums! : AIDS and women's music performance in Uganda -- Interlude 3 : Stick to one person : Nawaikoke village women's ensemble -- Today we have naming of parts : Languaging AIDS through music -- Interlude 4 : Excerpts from an interview with the Bukato Youth Fellowship -- Singing in a language AIDS can hear : Music, AIDS, and religion -- Interlude 5 : Conversation with Faustus Baziri, director of Volset -- Re-memorying memory : HIV/AIDS and the performance of cultural memory -- Interlude 6 : Taso drama group testimonies -- Conclusion : Getting the message across without music is sometimes shaky.
Summary: "Singing for Life: HIV/AIDS and Music in Uganda presents a cultural analysis of hope and healing. A pioneering work in the growing field of medical ethnomusicology, Singing for Life shows how music, dance, drama, and the visual arts have been enlisted in the fight against AIDS in East Africa--from education to prevention and treatment. It shows how musical traditions have the power to both spread needed information and influence social behavior. HIV/AIDS in Sub-Saharan Africa is a widespread phenomenon that is the result of deep cultural issues. Singing for Life: HIV/AIDS and Music in Uganda tells a compelling story that will appeal to students of ethnomusicology, anthropology, African studies, cultural studies, and medicine/healing. Written at a high level of engagement, but consistently approachable, it sets a benchmark for future studies in medical ethnomusicology. CD Included."--Publisher description.

Brocken, Michael.
The British folk revival, 1944-2002.
Aldershot, Hants, England ; Burlington, VT : Ashgate, c2003.
Series: Ashgate popular and folk music series
Contents: Introduction: the early revivalists -- Toward post-war Utopianism: the precursors and advent of the second Folk revival -- Bert Lloyd and Ewan MacColl: a critique of the leading protagonists -- Politics and obstinacy -- Challenging Folk historiography: Skiffle as a pop aesthetic -- Folk-Rock -- Rituals of retreat: Folk clubs, connoisseurs, hierarchies -- What of the Folk scene now?
Summary: "The British Folk Revival is the very first historical and theoretical work to consider the post-war folk revival in Britain from a popular music studies perspective. Michael Brocken provides a historical narrative of the folk revival from the 1940s until the turn of the century, beginning with the emergence of the revival from within and around the left-wing movements of the 1940s and 1950s. Key figures and organizations such as the Workers' Music Association, the BBC, the English Folk Dance and Song Society, A. L. Lloyd and Ewan MacColl are examined closely. By looking at the work of British Communist Party splinter groups it is possible to see the refraction of folk music as a political tool." "Brocken openly challenges folk historicity and internal narrative by discussing the convergence of folk and pop during the 1950s and 1960s. The significant development of the folk/rock hybrid is considered alongside 'class', 'Americana', radio and the strength of pop culture. Brocken shows how the dichotomy of artistic (natural) versus industry (mass-produced) music since the 1970s has led to a fragmentation and constriction of the folk revival. The study concludes with a look at the upsurge of the folk music industry, the growth of festivals and the implications of the Internet for the British folk revival. Brocken suggests the way forward should involve an acknowledgement that folk music is not superior to but is, in fact, a form of popular music. The book will create lively debate among the folk music fraternity and popular music scholars, as well as folklorists and ethnomusicologists. A unique discography and history of the Topic Records label is also included."--BOOK JACKET.

Summary: "Michael Ewans explores how classical Greek tragedy and epic poetry have been appropriated in opera, through eight selected case studies. These range from Monteverdi's Il ritorno d'Ulisse in patria, drawn from Homer's Odyssey, to Mark-Antony Turnage's Greek, based on Sophocles's Oedipus the King. Choices have been based on an understanding that the relationship between each of the operas and their Greek source texts raise significant issues, involving an examination of the process by which the librettist creates a new text for the opera, and the crucial insights into the nature of the drama that are bestowed by the composer's musical setting. Ewans examines the issues through a comparative analysis of significant divergences of plot, character and dramatic strategy between source text, libretto and opera."--BOOK JACKET.

Desire, drink and death in English folk and vernacular song, 1600-1900.
Aldershot, England ; Burlington, VT : Ashgate, c2008.
Contents: Introduction: Exploring Old Songs -- 1. Song, Sex and Society in England, 1600-1850 -- 2. Such a Merry Tune: Music, Musical Instruments and Dance as Sexual Symbols -- 3. Echoes of the Siren: Music, Charm, and Seduction in British Traditional Songs and Ballads -- 4. 'Nothing Like Drinking': English Vernacular Song and Strong Drink -- 5. Singing and Popular Funeral Practices in the Eighteenth and Nineteenth Centuries -- 6. Child Death -- 7. Song, Experience and Authenticity.
Summary: "This much-needed book provides valuable insights into themes and genres in popular song in the period c. 1600-1900. In particular it is a study of popular ballads as they appeared on printed sheets and as they were recorded by folk song collectors. Vic Gammon displays his interest in the way song articulates aspects of popular mentality and he relates the discourse of the songs to social history. Gammon discusses the themes and narratives that run through genres of song material and how these are repeated and reworked through time. He argues that in spite of important social and economic changes, the period 1600-1850 had a significant cultural consistency and characteristic forms of popular musical and cultural expression. The book will appeal to those interested in folk song, historical popular music (including church music), ballad literature, popular literature, popular culture, social history, anthropology and sociology."--BOOK JACKET.

Hamilton, Marybeth.
In search of the blues.
New York : Basic Books, c2008.
Contents: 1. The Delta Revisited -- 2. Impartial Testimony -- 3. On the Trail of Negro Folk Songs -- 4. Sound Photographs of Negro Songs -- 5. Been Here and Gone -- 6. The Real Negro Blues.
Summary: "In this extraordinary reconstruction of the origins of the Delta blues, historian Marybeth Hamilton demonstrates that the story as we know it is largely a myth. The idea of something called Delta blues only emerged in the mid-twentieth century, the culmination of a longstanding white fascination with the exotic mysteries of black music." "The prehistory begins around 1900, when a group of obsessive white men and women set out to track down those voices. Hamilton shows that the Delta blues was created not by blacks but by white pilgrims, seekers, and propagandists who headed deep into America's south in search of an authentic black voice of rage and redemption. In excavating the history of an immensely popular musical form, Hamilton reveals the extent to which American culture has been shaped by white fantasies of facial difference."--BOOK JACKET.

Summary: "Richard Wagner's Die Meistersinger has always called forth superlatives from those who have fallen under its spell. Toscanini wanted to lay his baton down for the last time only after he had conducted a performance of it. Paderewski called it 'the greatest work of genius ever achieved by any artist in any field of human endeavour.' H. L. Mencken declared, 'It took more skill to plan and write it than it took to plan and write the whole canon of Shakespeare.'" "And yet Wagner's many-splendoured comedy has come under severe criticism in recent years for what has been called its 'dark underside,' its 'fascist brutality,' and its 'ugly anti-Semitism.' In Wagner and the Wonder of Art, opera expert M. Owen Lee addresses that criticism. He also provides an introduction to the opera and an analysis that will surprise even those veteran operagoers who may not have explored the work's intricate structure and the emotional drama at its centre."--BOOK JACKET.

Psychology for musicians : understanding and acquiring the skills / Andreas C. Lehmann, John A. Sloboda, Robert H. Woody.

Summary: "Psychology for Musicians examines the processes that underlie the acquisition of musical skills, Lehmann, Sloboda, and Woody provide a concise, accessible, and up-to-date introduction to psychological research for musicians. The authors explore common traits between skilled activities in nonmusical domains and particular musical behaviors such as sight-reading, improvisation, performing from memory, and composing. With these comparisons in mind, they examine how the skills needed to teach, perform, and even listen to music are acquired and honed over time. Importantly, they take a cross-cultural perspective, considering the "conservatory culture" of formally trained musicians alongside non-Western societies, past periods of history, and contemporary vernacular music cultures."--BOOK JACKET.

Summary: "Why, despite the number of high profile female rock musicians, does rock continue to be understood as masculine? Why is rock generally assumed to be created and performed by men? Marion Leonard explores different representations of masculinity offered by, and performed through, rock music, and examines how female rock performers negotiate this gendering of rock as masculine. A major concern of the book is not specifically with men or with women performing rock, but with how notions of gender affect the everyday experiences of all rock musicians within the context of the music industry."--BOOK JACKET.

Letellier, Robert Ignatius.
An introduction to the dramatic works of Giacomo Meyerbeer : operas, ballets, cantatas, plays.
Aldershot, England ; Burlington, VT : Ashgate, c2008.
Contents: Pt. 1. Ballet and Cantata -- 1. Ballet -- 2. Cantata (Oratorio/Dramatic Monologue/Duodrama) -- Pt. 2. Opera -- 3. German Operas: Singspiel -- 4. Italian Operas: Opera Seria -- 5. French Operas: Grand Opera -- 6. French Operas: Opera Comique -- Pt. 3. Plays -- 7. Plays (Masque/Incidental Music) -- App. The Meyerbeer Librettists.
Summary: "Giacomo Meyerbeer (1791-1864) was a great musical dramatist in his own right. This book carries forward the process of rediscovery and reassessment of Meyerbeer's art - including not just his famous French operas, but also his German and Italian ones - placing them in the context of his entire dramatic oeuvre, including his ballets, oratorios, cantatas and incidental music. From Meyerbeer's first stage presentation in 1810 to his great posthumous accolade in 1865, some 24 works mark the unfolding of this life lived for dramatic music. The reputation of the famous four grand operas may well live on in the public consciousness, but the other works remain largely unknown. This book provides an approachable introduction to them. The works have been divided into their generic types for quick reference and helpful association, and placed within the context of the composer's life and artistic development. Each section unfolds a brief history of the work's origins, an account of the plot, a critical survey of some of its musical characteristics, and a record of its performance history. Robert Letellier examines each work from a dramaturgical view point, including the essential - often challenging - philosophical and historical elements in the scenarios, and how these concepts were translated musically onto the stage. A series of portraits and stage iconography assist in bringing the works to life."--BOOK JACKET.

Summary: "The writings of twentieth-century Polish composer Witold Lutoslawski reveal his approach to music and viewpoints as an artist and a man. In Lutoslawski on Music, the first full collection of writings by this famous composer, Zbigniew Skowron has amassed an exciting assortment of essays, speeches, lectures, and articles, many of which are newly translated in English and previously unpublished." "After an introductory autobiography, the writings, grouped into five chapters, illustrate various aspects of the composer's creativity and discuss musical form, compositional technique, and perception Lutoslawski examines his own works as well as those of other composers, and expresses his views on crucial elements of twentieth-century music, including the role of Schoenberg and Debussy and the impact of the Western avant-garde movement of the 1950s. The final and sixth chapter contains Lutoslawski's artistic diary, his "notebook of ideas" written from 1959 to 1984, which contains personal reflections that do not appear in his public speeches and writings. Concluding with a select bibliography, this collection will give readers a unique and comprehensive overview of the man and his music, encouraging: a full appreciation of Lutoslawski's compositional technique and aesthetic views, as well as his position in the history of twentieth-century music."--BOOK JACKET.

Summary: "In this book, Simon Mills provides an in-depth analysis of the East Coast hereditary mudang institution and its rhythm-oriented music, focusing particularly on the Kim family of mudang - the government-appointed 'cultural assets' for the genre. It is the first English language book to study this tradition in any depth, using materials from fieldwork (1999-2000) alongside interviews with two key family members, Kim Junghee and Jo Jonghun. Throughout, Mills includes numerous quotes from the ritualists themselves to help reveal their characters, opinions and beliefs. He documents the family's history, the decline of the hereditary mudang institution and its kinship customs, and the family's changing relations towards 'outsiders'. Mills also details ritual procedures, musical structures, playing techniques, instruments, and learning methods both of the past and present; as non-ritual musicians become increasingly aware of the powerful ritual rhythms, the music is finding new life in non-ritual settings."--BOOK JACKET.

Summary: "Isolde Ahlgrimm (1984-1995) was an important pioneer in the revival of Baroque and Classical keyboard instruments in her native city, Vienna, and later, throughout Europe and the United States. She trained as a pianist at the Musikakademie in Vienna under the instruction of Victor Ebenstein, Emil von Sauer and Franz Schmidt. In 1934 she met the musical instrument collector. Dr. Erich Fiala, whom she married in 1938. His activities opened up the world of early instruments to her. Using a 1790 fortepiano by Michael Rosenberger, Isolde Ahlgrimm began her career as a specialist on early keyboard instruments with the first in her notable series of Concerte fur Kenner und Liebhaber, given in Vienna's Palais Palffy in February 1937. Ahlgrimm's career as a harpsichordist also began in 1937, when a new instrument was commissioned from the Ammer brothers in Eisenberg, Germany. In 1943 Ahlgrimm performed her first all-harpsichord programme, which consisted of the Goldberg Variations by J. S. Bach. From 1949 to 1956, she devoted herself to performing and recording nearly all of Bach's harpsichord music for the newly-founded Dutch label, Philips, presenting her new approach to the harpsichord to a wider audience." "Peter Watchorn provides an engaging study of this pioneer, and argues that Isolde Ahlgrimm's contribution to the harpsichord and fortepiano revival was pivotal, and that her use of period instruments and the inspiration she instilled in younger musicians, including Nikolaus Harnoncourt and Gustav Leonhardt, has been almost entirely overlooked by the wider musical world."--BOOK JACKET.
