Franzi
With a great sense of adventure, Franzi Willimann lives a happy and successful life. Now in his seventies, this retired corporate executive, Army veteran, husband, and father of four, is a proud American. But he began life in Switzerland in the 1930s, the child of hard-working hoteliers who taught him to love life, to cherish his faith and his family, and to give generously of himself every single day. Beloved by his family and a multitude of devoted friends, success, for this most happy fellow, is a divine mix of the dark and the light, the joys and sorrows of everyday living. Told with extraordinary humor and simplicity, his story offers each one of us a roadmap to lasting joy and contentm...

A Companion to Guillaume de Machaut
Offering the first comprehensive study of Guillaume de Machaut’s vast corpus of text and music, the 18 essays in this collection explore the author’s engagement with the ethical, political, and aesthetic concerns of his time. Building on interdisciplinary interest in Machaut, this collection broadens discussion of his work by exploring overlapping interests in his poetry and music; addressing lesser-studied writings; offering fresh perspectives on lyric, authorial voice, and performance; and engaging more critically with his reception by medieval bookmakers, modern editors, and the music industry. The result is a promising map for future research in the field that will be of interest to students and specialists alike.
Annuario Svizzero di musicologia
Dem Komponisten Hugo Wolf (1860-1903) war 2003 in Genf ein Kolloquium gewidmet, dessen Beiträge eines internationalen Spezialistenkreises in Band 24 des Schweizer Jahrbuchs für Musikwissenschaft in ausgearbeiteter Form vorliegen. Vier der Aufsätze befassen sich mit Fragen der Konzeption und des Entstehungsprozesses am Beispiel verschiedener Werke (Streichquartett, Oper), vier weitere richten den Blick auf Wolfs Mörike-Lieder. Am Schluss des Bandes stehen drei thematisch freie Beiträge. Sie behandeln die Aktivitäten des bedeutenden Schweizer Musikologen Jacques Handschin (1886-1955) in St. Petersburg (1909-1920), die Fassungen von Hans Werner Henzes Erster Sinfonie (1947, 1963/1991) und eine interkulturelle Perspektive auf musikalisch-rhetorische Techniken in japanischer Biwa-Musik.
Machaut's Music
Guillaume de Machaut was the foremost poet-composer of his time. Studies look at all aspects of his prodigious output.
Webern Studies
This collection of essays looks at the music of Webern from several different perspectives. Webern scholarship, based on the sketches and other primary material now owned by the Paul Sacher Stiftung in Basel and the Library of Congress in Washington, has emphasised Webern's lyricism, and this is a theme running through Webern Studies. Most of the essays are the result of work with primary material. The volume includes entries from Webern's diaries, and all of the row tables for his twelve-note music. A comprehensive Webern bibliography covers thoroughly the period since Zoltan Roman's bibliography of 1978.
Music of the past, instruments and imagination
Ce volume présente les délibérations des Deuxièmes Rencontres Internationales harmoniques du printemps 2004. Les conférences ont été données par des experts des instruments à claviers et des cuivres. L'accent a été mis sur une variété de traditions historiques de facture instrumentale et sur l'histoire du renouveau de l'utilisation d'instruments anciens. Les contributions traitent non seulement des paramètres des pratiques instrumentales, mais encore de l'inspiration donnée dans ces domaines par quelques pionniers du renouveau de la musique ancienne. Dans bien des cas, les auteurs se sont penchés plus spécialement sur l'interprétation de la musique de Johann Sebastian Bach....
