UniM Music 780.92 DURU/ FRAZ
Frazier, James E.
Maurice Duruflé : the man and his music.
Rochester, N.Y. : University of Rochester Press ; Woodbridge : Boydell & Brewer [distributor], 2007.
Series: Eastman studies in music, v.47.
Contents: Duruflé's childhood and early education -- Life at the cathedral choir school -- Lessons with Charles Tournemire -- Lessons with Louis Vierne -- The conservatoire student -- Duruflé's distinctions -- The contested successions at Notre-Dame and Sainte Clotilde -- Duruflé's performing career -- The orchestral musician -- The Poulenc organ concerto -- Professor of harmony at the Paris Conservatoire -- Marie-Madeleine Chevalier -- Overview of Duruflé's compositions -- Duruflé's compositions : their genesis and first performances -- Duruflé's role in the plainsong revival -- The Vichy commissions -- The Requiem -- The musical history of Saint Étienne-du-Mont -- The organs at Saint Étienne-du-Mont -- Duruflé as organist and teacher -- Duruflé and organ design -- The Church in transition -- The North American tours -- The man Duruflé.
Summary: "Maurice Durufle: The Man and His Music is a new biography of the great French organist and composer (1902-86), and the most comprehensive in any language. Written by James E. Frazier, himself an organist and noted authority on Durufle's life and work, this book traces Durufle's musical formation as an impressionable chorister at the cathedral in Rotten; his studies with Charles Tournemire and Louis Vierne and at the Paris Conservatoire; and his subsequent career as performer, composer, and Conservatoire professor. Frazier also examines the career and contributions of Durufle's wife, the formidable organist Marie-Madeleine Durufle-Chevaller." "Durulle brought the church's unique language of plainsong into a compelling liaison with the secular harmonies of the modern French school as typified by Debussy, Ravel, and Dukas."
"Frazier's book reveals the genesis and early history of each of Durufle's works, including the fact that his widely loved masterpiece - the Requiem Op. 9 for soloists, chorus, organ, and orchestra - was composed on commission from the Vichy government. The book describes the conflicted circumstances, particularly the turbulent relationship of the French church with French secularism and nationalism, under which Durulle composed what proved to be one of the greatest choral works of the twentieth century." "Frazier, drawing on the accounts of those who knew Durufle personally as well as on his own detailed research, offers a broad sketch of this modest and elusive man, whom some considered a pathological perfectionist, but who is widely recognized today for having created some of the greatest works in the organ repertory - and the masterful Requiem."--BOOK JACKET.

UniM Music 780.92 HAYD/ HOGW
Hogwood, Christopher.
Haydn's visits to England.
London : Thames & Hudson, 2009.
Notes: Originally published: London : The Folio Society, 1980.
Contents: Haydn's First Visit -- Haydn's Second Visit.
Summary: "In September 1790, following the death of his princely employer, Joseph Haydn and his entire orchestra were sacked. However, Haydn received an unexpected visit from Johann Peter Salomon, a German impresario based in London, who made him a tempting offer: an opera, six symphonies and twenty other pieces to be written for the city, and a guaranteed income from a new concert series." "So, on 2 January 1791, Haydn arrived in England for the first of two visits that would leave an indelible mark both on the musical life of his host country and on the composer himself." "Using Haydn's original letters and notebooks, and accounts by contemporaries, Christopher Hogwood brings a fascinating period vividly to life, as Haydn is taken up by London society, travels into the country, plays for the royal family and writes some of his most famous music. Haydn's jottings reveal an insatiable curiosity (and occasional astonishment) at English manners, morals and customs, but it is the gentle humour and generosity of this highly original composer that makes the greatest impression."--BOOK JACKET.

Series: Studies in Latin American and Caribbean music
Bibliography: Includes bibliographical references (p. [191]-204) and index.
Contents: Introduction. History, Ideas, Musical Writing, and the Writing of Music -- 1. Modernism, Teleology, and Identity: Toward a Cultural Understanding of Julian Carrillo's Sonido 13 -- 2. The Avant-Garde as a Site of Identification: Style and Ideology in Carlos Chavez's Early Music -- 3. Manuel M. Ponce, from Nineteenth-Century Modernismo to Twentieth-Century Modernism -- 4. The Sounds of the Nation, Modernity, and Tradition: The First National Congress of Music as Synecdoche of Discourses -- 5. Porfirian Music in Revolutionary Times: Atzimba and the Imagination of "the Indigenous" -- 6. Ideas, Canon, Revolution, and Places in History: Carlos Chavez and His Relationships with Julian Carrillo and Manuel M. Ponce.
Summary: "Sounds of the Modern Nation explores the development of modernist and avant-garde art music styles and aesthetics in Mexico in relation to the social and cultural changes that affected the country after the 1910-1920 revolution. Alejandro Madrid argues that these modernist works provide insight into the construction of individual and collective identities based on new ideas about modernity and nationality. Instead of depicting a dichotomy between modernity and nationalism, Madrid reflects on the multiple intersections between these two ideas and the dialogic ways through which these notions acquired meaning." "Madrid challenges the view that Latin American modernist music and other arts were mere imitations of European trends, advancing instead the argument that Latin American artists resignified European ideas according to their specific historical and cultural circumstances. His work shows how microtonal and futurist music, modernist and avant-garde aesthetics, as well as indigenist and indianist ideas entered a process of negotiation that ultimately shaped the ideological framework of twentieth-century Mexico."--BOOK JACKET.

Frederick the Great and his musicians : the viola da gamba music of the Berlin school.
Burlington, VT : Ashgate, [2008].
Bibliography: "Thematic catalogue of the works of the Berlin School for viola da gamba, with all known sources and modern editions": p.
Contents: 1. Introduction -- 2. Berlin and the Berlin School -- 3. The Sources -- 4. The Forms and Genres Used in the Berlin Gamba Music -- 5. Alternative Instrumentation for the Viola da Gamba Parts -- 6. Ludwig Christian Hesse -- 7. The Composers and their Works -- Johann Gottlieb Graun -- Christoph Schaffrath -- Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach -- Johann Gottlieb Janitsch -- Joseph Benedikt (or Baptist) Zyka -- Carl Heinrich Graun (1703/4-1759) -- Franz Benda (1709-1786) -- Carl Friedrich Abel (1723-1787) -- Appendix. Thematic Catalogue: of the Works of the Berlin School for Viola da Gamba.
Summary : "This study shows how the unique situation in Berlin produced the last major corpus of music written for the viola da gamba, and how the more virtuosic works were probably the result of close collaboration between Hesse and the Berlin School composers. The reader is also introduced to the more approachable pieces which were written and arranged for amateur viol players, including the king's nephew and ultimate successor, Frederick William II. The book will appeal to professional and amateur viola da gamba players as well as to scholars of eighteenth-century German music."--BOOK JACKET.
UniM Music 782.1092 MOZA/ RICE
Rice, John A.
Mozart on the stage.
Cambridge, UK ; New York : Cambridge University Press, 2009.
Series: Composers on the stage
Bibliography Includes bibliographical references (p. 238-269) and index.
Contents: 1. Mozart in the theater -- 2. Mozart's operas: function, genres, archetypes -- 3. Commissions, fees, and the origins of Mozart's operas -- 4. Mozart and his librettists -- 5. Composition -- 6. Mozart and his singers -- 7. Rehearsal, revision, and promotion -- 8. Theaters and stage design -- 9. The audience -- 10. Performance and reception.
Summary: "Presenting a fresh approach to Mozart's achievements as a composer for the stage, John A. Rice outlines the composer's place in the operatic culture of his time. The book tells the story of how Mozart's operas came into existence, following the processes that Mozart went through as he brought his operas from commission to performance. Chapters trace the fascinating series of interactions that took place between Mozart and librettists, singers, stage designers, orchestras, and audiences. In linking the operas by topic, Rice emphasizes what Mozart's operas have in common, regardless of when he wrote them and the genres to which they belong. The book demonstrates how Mozart's entire operatic oeuvre is the product of a single extraordinary mind and a single pan-European operatic culture."--BOOK JACKET.

Neoclassicism as ideology -- She do the ring in different voices -- Stravinsky and us -- Setting limits.
Summary: "The Danger of Music gathers some two decades of Richard Taruskin's writing on the arts and politics, ranging in approach from occasional pieces for major newspapers such as the New York Times to full-scale critical essays for leading intellectual journals. Hard-hitting, provocative, and incisive, these essays consider contemporary composition and performance, the role of critics and historians in the life of the arts, and the fraught terrain where ethics and aesthetics interact and at times conflict. Many of the works collected here have themselves excited wide debate, including the title essay, which considers the rights and obligations of artists in the aftermath of the 9/11 terrorist attacks. In a series of lively postscripts written especially for this volume, Taruskin, America's "public" musicologist, addresses the debates he has stirred up by insisting that art is not a utopian escape and that artists inhabit the same world as the rest of society.
Among the book's forty-two essays are two public addresses - one about the prospects for classical music at the end of the second millennium C. E., the other a revisiting of the performance issues previously discussed in the author's Text and Act (1995) - that appear in print for the first time."--BOOK JACKET.
