Sting and Religion
On the back cover of one of his most groundbreaking solo albums, . . . Nothing like the Sun of 1987, Sting (Gordon Matthew Sumner, b. 1951 in Wallsend, UK) somberly stands close to a statue of Mary, the mother of Jesus. The album was released a few months after his own mother, Audrey, died. The picture was taken on the island of Montserrat, where he was recording the album, apparently on the day of her death. ""I said goodbye to my mother, as I had a recording date in Montserrat, and she died a week later."" When asked by the author if his mother was particularly connected to Mary, and if this was why he chose this image, he replied ""No, but I did."" This evocative photograph and Sting's quick answer encapsulate the two pillars of this book: a microhistory of a specific British Catholic parish in the 1950s-60s, and the impact that growing up there had on Sting's artistic output. And beyond that, this book opens a window onto the influence of Catholic education and imagination on millions of less famous people who had similar upbringings.

Music and Musicians in Early Nineteenth-Century Cornwall
Taken from Africa into slavery by the Portuguese, kidnapped by the British Navy and held captive aboard ship during the French wars of the 1790s before being abandoned in Falmouth, the stranger-than-fiction story of Joseph Emidy deserves telling in its own right. What makes it more remarkable is that Emidy - a violinist and composer - became a prominent figure in the musical scene in Cornwall for the remaining thirty years of his life. The richly varied pattern of local activity is illustrated by accounts in local newspapers, as well as by personal memoirs; many of the anecdotes are amusing and always enlightening in the view they offer of a provincial society at a time of great and hitherto unsuspected activity and change.
Karawitan
The twentieth century has spawned a great interest in Indonesian music, and now books, articles, and manuscripts can be found that expound exclusively about karawitan (the combined vocal and instrumental music of the gamelan). Scholar Judith Becker has culled several key sources on karawitan into three volumes and has translated them for the benefit of the Western student of the gamelan tradition. The texts in her collection were written over a forty-five-year time period (ca 1930-1975) and include articles by Martopangrawit, Sumarsam, Sastrapustaka, Gitosaprodjo, Sindoesawarno, Poerbapangrawit, Probohardjono, Warsadiningrat, Purbodiningrat, Poerbatjaraka, and Paku Buwana X. The final volume also contains a glossary of technical terms, an appendix of the Javanese cipher notations (titilaras kepatihan), a biographical listing, and an index to the musical pieces (Gendhing).
Cantigas De Santa Maria Of Alfonso X, El Sabio, A Performing Edition

Acoustemologies in Contact
In this fascinating collection of essays, an international group of scholars explores the sonic consequences of transcultural contact in the early modern period. They examine how cultural configurations of sound impacted communication, comprehension, and the categorisation of people. Addressing questions of identity, difference, sound, and subjectivity in global early modernity, these authors share the conviction that the body itself is the most intimate of contact zones, and that the culturally contingent systems by which sounds made sense could be foreign to early modern listeners and to present day scholars. Drawing on a global range of archival evidence-from New France and New Spain, to the slave ships of the Middle Passage, to China, Europe, and the Mediterranean court environment-this collection challenges the privileged position of European acoustical practices within the discipline of global-historical musicology. The discussion of Black and non-European experiences demonstrates how the production of 'the canon' in the cosmopolitan centres of colonial empires was underpinned by processes of human exploitation and extraction of resources. As such, this text is a timely response to calls within the discipline to decolonise music history and to contextualise the canonical works of the European past. This volume is accessible to a wide and interdisciplinary audience, not only within musicology, but also to those interested in early modern global history, sound studies, race, and slavery.

Hey Alexa!
Who is the smartest person in the room? When asked, techy five-year-olds will tell you say that it is Alexa. There is no question that Alexa is always getting smarter-and more entertaining. With hundreds of thousands of supported commands, there are so many things to ask Alexa. Fun things. Sweet things. Helpful things. Factual things. Surprising things. So many things that it's tough to capture them all, but we think this book is a pretty good musical start. Try them out, just maybe not all at once.In this book, you will learn how to use the most powerful musical orchestra for its size that has ever been created. It has every song imaginable by the original artists. And, you don't have to use vinyl discs or tapes or shiny CDs. It has no remote because you don't need one. If you can say Alexa, you can quickly have beautiful music playing anywhere in your home. The Amazon Echo with its "Alexa Brain" listens to you, translating your voice into commands so it can play music. If that is not enough, it can turn the lights on, or order stuff from Amazon. ... Amazon calls the built-in brains of this device "Alexa," and she* is the thing that makes it work.The Alexa technology used in the Amazon Echo devices from the Dot to the Generation 4 machines is quickly becoming the biggest non-secret in American and international life. Yet, when you get yours, you'll be compelled to tell everybody you know-thinking they don't know. Now that you've got it, you won't want to put this book down until you are ready to send your stereo console to the scrap heap or the Salvation Army. It's a revolutionary change to home music. In fact it is like hauling your old stereo monster out with a huge hand truck and having a moving van replace it with a mini Ray Conniff, His Orchestra and Chorus, weighing in at just 10.55 ounces. Ray Conniff never sounded so good and his selections have improved over the years. You'll say that it is amazing .

The Empire at the Op矇ra
Although nineteenth-century legislation had tried to ensure a precise separation between genre and institution for Parisian music in the theatre, it had inadvertently laid out a field on which the politics of genre could be played out as agents and actors of all types deployed various forms of artistic power. During the Second Empire, from 1854 until 1870, the state took over day-to-day control of the Op矇ra in ways that were without precedent. Every element of the Op矇ra's activity was subjugated to the exigency of Empire; the selection or artists, works and more general questions of artistic policy were handed over to politicians. The Op矇ra effectively became a branch of government. The result was a stagnation of the Op矇ra's repertory, and beneficiaries were the composers of larger-scale works for competing organisations: the Op矇ra Comique and the Th矇璽tre Lyrique.
The Beatles, Sgt. Pepper, and the Summer of Love
For the Beatles, 1967 marks a signal crossroads that would both transform the group's career and place them on a trajectory towards their eventual disbandment. It was a year in which they exploded prevailing rock music demographics through the global onslaught and international success of Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band beginning in June 1967. Yet it was also a period that saw them in a precarious state of flux throughout the summer and fall months, as the band attempted to recapture their artistic direction in the wake of Sgt. Pepper and the untimely death of manager Brian Epstein. The Beatles, Sgt. Pepper, and the Summer of Love draws readers into that pivotal year in the life of the band. For the Fab Four, 1967 would see the band members part ways with psychedelia and the avant-garde through the trials and tribulations of the Magical Mystery Tour, a project that resulted in a series of classic recordings, while at the same time revealing the bandmates' aesthetic vulnerabilities and failings as would-be filmmakers and auteurs.

Organ Music
Organ Music is an extended riff on the previous decade of Tory rule by way some of its more horribly memorable national occasions - the 2011 London riots, the Thatcher funeral, Brexit, and the beginning of the end of Jeremy Corbyn. It also improvises other historically resonant events like Agincourt, the Falklands War, and the death of David Bowie. Witness (keyboard) history as you've never before encountered it (forget Keith Emerson) and discover some of the key figures of the early English organ repertoire like Orlando Gibbons, Christopher Tye and Klaus Wunderlich. Formally rich (it moves between free verse, poets theatre, prose and visual poetry), this is ultimately a book of melancholic exuberance. Fuck you Tory Britain, the organist will see you now!

Arbeit mit ”TeachMe-CDs” im Chor zum selbstst瓣ndigen Erlernen mehrstimmiger St羹cke
Praktikumsbericht / -arbeit aus dem Jahr 2018 im Fachbereich Musik - Sonstiges, Note: 1,0, P瓣dagogische Hochschule Weingarten, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Diese Arbeit besch瓣ftigt sich mit der Frage, wie es gelingen kann, S瓣ngerinnen und S瓣nger eines Chors die M繹glichkeit zu geben, die Stimme ihres St羹ckes selbst zu entdecken. Speziell wird auf die M繹glichkeiten der sogenannten TeachMe-CDs eingegangen. Auf diesen ?bungs-Tapes finden sich Aufnahmen der Einzelstimmen eines St羹cks. Um sich sp瓣ter in der Chorprobe gut orientieren zu k繹nnen und den harmonischen Rahmen mitzuliefern, werden diese idealerweise in die Gesamtaufnahme eingebettet und hervorgehoben. Gegebenenfalls wird zus瓣tzlich eine langsamere Version zur Einstudierung produziert. In dieser Arbeit wird, nach der Produktion einer TeachMe-CD, die selbstst瓣ndige Arbeit mit den Aufnahmen im Chor erl瓣utert und anhand von speziell darauf abgestimmten Chorproben ein St羹ck einstudiert. Neben einer Reflexion des Autors zu den Ergebnissen in den Proben, wurden nach einem Zeitraum von 4 Wochen, mithilfe eines Fragebogens, die Erfahrungen der S瓣nger/innen mit dieser Vorgehensweise ermittelt. In Chorproben, wie auch im Musikunterricht ist die Zeit zum Einstudieren von mehrstimmigen St羹cken 繹fters knapp. Bis zum Auftritt sind es h瓣ufig nur noch wenige Proben und das Programm ist noch nicht komplett. Folglich gelingt es Dirigent/in bzw. Lehrkraft selten alle Einzelstimmen ausreichend oft zu pr瓣sentieren, bis alle ihre Stimme beherrschen. Viel zu schnell wird mehrstimmig gesungen und die S瓣ngerinnen und S瓣nger m羹ssen sehen, wie sie sich zurechtfinden. Oft spielt ein Gro?teil der Klasse resp. des Chores kein Instrument und kann, aufgrund fehlender musikalischer Erfahrungen und F瓣higkeiten, die St羹cke Zuhause nicht selbstst瓣ndig 羹ben. Noch problematischer wird es, wenn in den Proben die Einzelstimmen nicht richtig vorgesungen oder vorgespielt werden. Mit 羹ppiger Klavierbegleitung und Band wird beim Auftritt h瓣ufig versucht
Bernstein and Robbins
The formative early ballets of West Side Story creators Leonard Bernstein and Jerome Robbins explored in detail for the very first time. 2022 CHOICE Outstanding Academic Title Winner. Leonard Bernstein and choreographer Jerome Robbins stand as giants of the musical-theatre world, but it was ballet that launched their stage careers and established their relationship. With Fancy Free (1944), their triumphant debut collaboration produced by Ballet Theatre, Bernstein, Robbins, and set designer Oliver Smith-all in their mid-twenties- captured the spirit of wartime New York, created a defining ballet of the period still widely performed today, and became overnight sensations. The hit musical On the Town (1944) and a now largely forgotten ballet, Facsimile (1946), followed over the next two years. Drawing extensively on previously unpublished archival documents, Bernstein and Robbins: The Early Ballets provides a richly detailed and original historical account of the creation, premiere, and reception of Fancy Free and Facsimile. It reveals the vital and sometimes conflicting role of Ballet Theatre, explores how Bernstein composed the scores, sheds light on the central importance of Oliver Smith, and considers the legacy of these works for all involved. The result is a new understanding of Bernstein, Robbins, and this formative period in their lives.
Stravinsky in Context
Stravinsky in Context offers an alternative to chronological biography. Thirty-five short, specially commissioned essays explore the eventful life-tapestry from which Stravinsky's compositions emerged. The opening chapters draw on new research into the composer's childhood in St. Petersburg. Stravinsky's early, often traumatic upbringing is examined in depth, particularly in the context of his brother Roman's death, and religious sensibilities within the family. Further essays consider Stravinsky's years in exile at the centre of dynamic and ever-evolving cultural environments, the composer constantly refining his idiom and re-defining his aesthetics against a backdrop of world events and personal tragedy. The closing chapters review new material regarding Stravinsky's complicated relationship with the Soviet Union, whilst also anticipating his legacy from the varied perspectives of publishing, research and even - in the iconic example of The Rite of Spring - space exploration. The book includes previously unpublished images of the composer and his family.
Streicherklasse. P瓣dagogischer Wert und neue Berufsm繹glichkeiten f羹r Lehrende
Bachelorarbeit aus dem Jahr 2018 im Fachbereich Musik - Sonstiges, Note: 1,0, Universit瓣t Augsburg (Leopold-Mozart.Zentrum), Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Diese Bachelorarbeit widmet sich dem faszinierenden Thema der Streicherklassen im Musikunterricht und analysiert deren p瓣dagogischen Wert sowie die neuen Berufsm繹glichkeiten, die sich f羹r Lehrende in diesem Kontext er繹ffnen. Die Entwicklung und Umsetzung von Streicherklassen als musikalischem Bildungsangebot erfahren in den letzten Jahren eine zunehmende Bedeutung. Die Arbeit beleuchtet dabei nicht nur theoretische Aspekte, sondern geht auch auf konkrete Modelle und Methoden in der praktischen Umsetzung ein. Ziel ist es, einen umfassenden Einblick in die Welt der Streicherklassen zu bieten, angefangen bei der Definition des Begriffs 羹ber die historische Entwicklung bis hin zu aktuellen Unterrichtsmodellen. Die Arbeit macht deutlich, dass trotz des wachsenden Angebots an Streicherklassen bisher wenig umfassende Literatur zu diesem Thema existiert. Hier setzt die vorliegende Untersuchung an, indem sie nicht nur eine Definition und historische Einordnung bietet, sondern auch verschiedene Modelle und Praxiserfahrungen von Streicherklassen analysiert. Die Motivation hinter dieser Arbeit besteht darin, Musikp瓣dagogen, Eltern und Interessierten einen fundierten ?berblick 羹ber Streicherklassen zu bieten und dabei insbesondere die Perspektiven der Lehrenden hervorzuheben. Durch Interviews mit erfahrenen Musikp瓣dagogen wird eine praxisnahe Erg瓣nzung zu den theoretischen Analysen geboten, um eine umfassende Sichtweise auf das Thema zu erm繹glichen. Die Arbeit schlie?t mit einem Fazit und einem Ausblick, der nicht nur auf die gegenw瓣rtige Situation, sondern auch auf zuk羹nftige Entwicklungen und Herausforderungen im Bereich der Streicherklassen eingeht. Dabei flie?en die Erfahrungen und Anregungen der interviewten Experten mit ein, um eine praxisrelevante Schlussbetrachtung zu gew瓣hrleisten.

The Oxford Handbook of Community Music
Community music as a field of practice, pedagogy, and research has come of age. The past decade has witnessed an exponential growth in practices, courses, programs, and research in communities and classrooms, and within the organizations dedicated to the subject. The Oxford Handbook of Community Music gives an authoritative and comprehensive review of what has been achieved in the field to date and what might be expected in the future. This Handbook addresses community music through five focused lenses: contexts, transformations, politics, intersections, and education. It not only captures the vibrant, dynamic, and divergent approaches that now characterize the field, but also charts the new and emerging contexts, practices, pedagogies, and research approaches that will define it in the coming decades. The contributors to this Handbook outline community music's common values that center on social justice, human rights, cultural democracy, participation, and hospitality from a range of different cultural contexts and perspectives. As such, The Oxford Handbook of Community Music provides a snapshot of what has become a truly global phenomenon.

Eberhard Weber
Eberhard Weber is a virtuoso who revolutionized jazz bass playing. He brought his instrument from the far corner of the stage into the spotlight - and turned it into a solo force. He began his career as a jazz bassist in the 1960s, and his band Colours with the saxophonist Charlie Mariano became one of the most successful jazz groups in Europe. His record Colours of Chloe (made for ECM) was a cult album in its time. Weber went on to perform with many the big stars of the international jazz scene, including Wolfgang Dauner, Gary Burton, Pat Metheney and Jan Garbarek. He was also a key member of the United Jazz and Rock Ensemble. Playing the five-string instrument, both in acoustic and electric form, he also became a master of the solo recital, using electronics to accompany his own dexterous improvisations. Weber has not been able to play the bass since he suffered a stroke in April 2007 during a sound check with the Jan Garbarek Group at the Berlin Philharmonic Hall. But he had already created an oeuvre that is second to none. The charismatic bassist made jazz history with his explorations, both in terms of his own instrument and with his range of creative musical companions. His remarkable "resume" is at the same time a humorous and exciting testimony to a vital period in German jazz history. This is the first English translation of the original autobiography published in German by Sagas in 2015.
