Le biblioteche dell'Alta formazione musicale
Il volume raccoglie la documentazione del progetto "Le biblioteche musicali italiane: stato dell'arte e prospettive (2017-2020)", curato da un gruppo di ricerca del Dipartimento di scienze del patrimonio culturale (DISPAC) dell'Università degli studi di Salerno in collaborazione con IAML Italia, gruppo nazionale dell'International Association of Music Libraries, Archives and Documentation Centres (IAML). La ricerca ha riguardato le biblioteche dei conservatori e degli istituti superiori di studi musicali e ha inteso monitorarne presenza, funzione e caratteristiche mediante la raccolta di dati statistici, l'elaborazione di indicatori, la somministrazione di questionari e interviste. In particolare, ci si è proposti di fare il punto su patrimonio e offerta documentaria, servizi e livello di erogazione, espressioni culturali, rapporto con gli utenti, impatto (sia sulla comunità di studio e di ricerca sia sui cittadini).
Opera and Sovereignty
Performed throughout Europe during the 1700s, Italian heroic opera, or opera seria, was the century’s most significant musical art form, profoundly engaging such figures as Handel, Haydn, and Mozart. Opera and Sovereignty is the first book to address this genre as cultural history, arguing that eighteenth-century opera seria must be understood in light of the period’s social and political upheavals. Taking an anthropological approach to European music that’s as bold as it is unusual, Martha Feldman traces Italian opera’s shift from a mythical assertion of sovereignty, with its festive forms and rituals, to a dramatic vehicle that increasingly questioned absolute ideals. She situates ...
Nino Pirrotta
As a scholarly discipline and doctoral-level univ. course, musicology (the academic study of music in its historical and anthropological contexts) is about a century old. This is the first full-scale portrait of one of musicology’s most distinguished practitioners. Nino Pirrotta (1908-98) was educated in Palermo and Florence, but was not able to study music history systematically, so he created his own distinctive vision of the discipline. After appointments at the conservatories of Palermo and Rome, Pirrotta was named head of the music library and Prof. of Music at Harvard (1956-71) and thereafter Prof. of Music History at the Univ. of Rome (1972-78). Cummings analyzes and interprets Pirrotta’s writings and identifies the features that characterize the celebrated humanist. Illus.
From the Clarinet D'Amour to the Contra Bass
Following his much-acclaimed The Baroque Clarinet and The Clarinet in the Classical Period, Albert R. Rice now turns his signature detailed attention to large clarinets - the clarinet d'amour, the basset horn, the alto clarinet, bass and contra bass clarinets. Each chapter is devoted to a specific instrument, and offers a fascinating insider's look at its defining characteristics, a comprehensive history of its evolution, meticulously-researched information on its makers and aspects of construction, and a thorough discussion of its music. Rice illustrates how the introduction of large clarinets into chamber ensembles, wind bands, and opera orchestras was the result of experiments meant to ad...
The Oxford Handbook of Music and Intellectual Culture in the Nineteenth Century
Rarely studied in their own right, writings about music are often viewed as merely supplemental to understanding music itself. Yet in the nineteenth century, scholarly interest in music flourished in fields as disparate as philosophy and natural science, dramatically shifting the relationship between music and the academy. An exciting and much-needed new volume, The Oxford Handbook of Music and Intellectual Culture in the Nineteenth Century draws deserved attention to the people and institutions of this period who worked to produce these writings. Editors Paul Watt, Sarah Collins, and Michael Allis, along with an international slate of contributors, discuss music's fascinating and unexpected...
