Becoming a Nazi Town
Local cultural activities played a key role in altering Germany’s political landscape between the world wars
Polymath of the Baroque
This is the first book to consider all aspects of the life of Agostino Steffani (1654-1728), a composer, diplomat, and bishop. A remarkable figure of the late 17th and early 18th century Europe, Steffani began his career as a composer, musician, and courtier, but his accomplishments brought him high-level positions in the courts of Germany and the Catholic Church. Throughout his diplomatic and ecclesiatical career, Steffani continued to compose chamber music, vocal chamber music, operas, and sacred music--works which inspired Handel and other Baroque composers.

Eminent Lives in Twentieth-century Science & Religion
Can science and religion coexist in harmony? Or is conflict inevitable? In this volume an international team of distinguished scholars addresses these enduring yet urgent questions by examining the lives of thirteen eminent twentieth-century scientists whose careers were marked by the interaction of science and religion: Rachel Carson, Charles A. Coulson, Theodosius Dobzhansky, Arthur S. Eddington, Albert Einstein, Ronald A. Fisher, Julian Huxley, Pascual Jordan, Robert A. Millikan, Ivan P. Pavlov, Michael I. Pupin, Abdus Salam, and Edward O. Wilson. The richly empirical studies show a diversity of creative engagements between science and religion that defy efforts to set the two at odds.
Achtung International!
In August 1922 the Viennese composers Rudolf Réti and Egon Wellesz organized International Chamber Music Performances at the Mozarteum – and Béla Bartók, Paul Hindemith, Darius Milhaud, Ethel Smyth, Anton Webern and many other composers from fifteen countries gathered under the protectorate of the co-founder of the Salzburg Festival, Richard Strauss, to establish the first international peace project in music after the First World War. Subsequently, the International Society for Contemporary Music (ISCM) developed into one of the world's most prominent institutions for the promotion of contemporary music. This volume is dedicated to the institution's 100th anniversary. The International Society for Contemporary Music's long and complex history comes to life in this publication and it contributes greatly to the ongoing discussion of the Society's global network of musicians, composers, and ensembles.
Agostino Steffani
Dieser interdisziplinäre Band gilt Agostino Steffani in allen drei Facetten seines Schaffens: dem Künstler, dem Politiker und dem Geistlichen. 19 Beiträge präsentieren den aktuellen Wissensstand über diesen inzwischen weltweit wiederentdeckten Grenzgänger, der schon länger die Aufmerksamkeit der Musikwissenschaftler sowie der Frühneuzeit- und Kirchenhistoriker erregte – und nicht zuletzt auch die der Künstler und des Publikums. This interdisciplinary volume considers all three facets of Steffani's work – the musical, the political and the ecclesiastical. Its 19 essays present the latest state of knowledge on this internationally rediscovered multi-talented cosmopolitan, who has long been attracting the attention of musicologists and early modern and ecclesiastical historians and is now exciting also the interest of performers and public.
Die Internationale Stiftung Mozarteum im Nationalsozialismus
Eine Salzburger Kulturinstitution im Nationalsozialismus Die aus dem 1841 gegründeten Dommusikverein und Mozarteum hervorgegangene Internationale Stiftung Mozarteum in Salzburg gilt seit 140 Jahren als führende Kulturinstitution weltweiter Mozartpflege. Auf der Grundlage erstmals ausgewerteter Quellen beleuchtet der Band die Aktivitäten der Stiftung Mozarteum unter ihrem Präsidenten Albert Reitter während der NS-Zeit. Die Stiftung profitierte von der NS-Kulturpolitik, die Mozart als Heroen des "arischen Deutschtums" umdeutete. Aufgrund der großen propagandistischen Bedeutung der Stiftung wurde die geplante Gesamtausgabe der Werke Mozarts sogar von der "Kanzlei des Führers" finanziert....
