Instrumental Music in Late Eighteenth-Century Naples
The music of early modern Naples and its renowned artistic traditions remain a fruitful area for scholars in eighteenth-century studies. Contemporary social, political, and artistic conditions had stimulated a significant growth of music, musicians and culture in the Kingdom of Naples from the beginning of the seventeenth century. Although eighteenth-century Neapolitan opera is well documented in scholarship, historians have paid much less attention to the simultaneous cultivation of instrumental genres. Yet the culture of instrumental music grew steadily and by its end became an exclusive area of focus for the royal court, a remarkable departure from past norms of patronage. By bridging this gap, Anthony R. DelDonna brings together diverse fields, including historical musicology, music theory, Neapolitan and European history. His book investigates the wide-ranging role of instrumental genres within late eighteenth-century Neapolitan culture and introduces readers to new material, including recently discovered instrumental works of Paisiello, Cimarosa and Pleyel.
Drum Set Development L2
Drum Set Development (DD) and Snare Drum Development (SDD) are, throughout the PercMP Development Areas, the main framework around which all other Development Areas orbit; these areas have been conceived to help percussion and drum teachers achieve a profound view of their student's improvements while guiding them throughout the higher levels of drum playing.The student, while studying DD, should be simultaneously working on SDD: the level of DD tackled, should be one less than SDD's thus, when beginning the third level of SDD, the level of DD expressed in this book can be introduced.As progress is made, a new Development Area may be added: the more areas the student manages, the more profoundly competence and skills will grow; nonetheless, SDD and DD should be the only Development Areas on which the student will be working constantly.DD consists of short pieces that the student will have to prepare for the following lesson; how these pieces will be mastered is an issue to be pre-emptively clarified in order to positively monitor the student's progress. Therefore, the teacher will have to determine in advance which criteria to adopt when evaluating each piece and assigning a new one in its place.The general complexity expressed at each level of DD does not have to be comparable to the difficulty of other areas simultaneously studied, especially if related to repertoire. Indeed, the student may find him/herself studying a repertoire piece that is much more difficult than is expressed by the level required in DD: this would be perfectly appropriate while the contrary would surely be unfitting. The time term of DD is classified as VST while a repertoire piece may be classified from MT to VLT; therefore, the latter can be more complex.In the pieces throughout all levels of DD, rhythmic patterns and time signatures are gradually introduced: technical skills, rhythmic skills and a sense of meter will therefore gradually improve.When composing these works, one of the main objectives was to supply both students and teachers with pieces in which the formal structures would well be identifiable, thus stimulating an attitude to analysing the pieces before studying them. Developing the ability to identify periods, phrases and motifs will surely allow the student to achieve a higher level of awareness; consequently, a higher degree of motivation for increasing one's technical skills will strongly improve. While performing these pieces the student will therefore not find him/herself playing a series of grooves, where a rhythmic motif or phrase is constantly repeated throughout the piece, but will be required to interpret, by considering the drum set as a solo instrument, pieces with a musical meaning in their whole, even though they may - at a very first level - be only of eight measures long.Each chapter ends with some exercises identified by roman numerals: these are provided as warm-up exercises to be kept for as long as the student will be tackling the pieces included in the same chapter.
Dancing to the Drum Machine
Dancing to the Drum Machine is a never-before-attempted history of what is perhaps the most controversial musical instrument ever invented: the drum machine. Here, author Dan LeRoy reveals the untold story of how their mechanical pulse became the new heartbeat of popular music. The pristine snap of the LinnDrum. The bottom-heavy beats of the Roland 808. The groundbreaking samples of the E-MUSP-1200. All these machines-and their weirder, wilder-sounding cousins-changed composition, recording, and performance habits forever. Their distinctive sounds and styles helped create new genres of music, like hip hop and EDM. But they altered every musical style, from mainstream pop to heavy metal to jazz. Dan LeRoy traces the drum machine from its low-tech beginnings in the Fifties and Sixties to its evolution in the Seventies and its ubiquity in the Eighties, when seemingly overnight, it infiltrated every genre of music. Drum machines put some drummers out of work, while keeping others on their toes. They anticipated virtually every musical trend of the last five decades: sequencing, looping, sampling, and all forms of digital music creation. But the personalities beneath those perfect beats make the story of drum machines a surprisingly human one-told here for the very first time.
Awesome Adventures of a Remigrant
This book is a sequel to the author's first book 'Awesome Adventures of an Immigrant' where he went into the footsteps of Abel Tasman to discover New Zealand. Upon returning to his home country he felt like a new-comer. In the same pointy style guided by his imaginary opponent 'Hugo' the author tries to make sense of his country by following some history of it. As in New Zealand some myopic characters are at work, and the peculiar mind of the author puts a magnifying glass on them. Without the fine tuned skills in English expression the inimitable style of his writing adds color and fascination to the events he describes. I think the reader will be able to identify with some of the humorous situations and has probably met some of the personalities which are rooted into far historic mythos. In this he lays down his own weaknesses and to read the book written from a fresh perspective should be a therapeutic exercise to some of us too cloistered and should be on the bookshelf of everyone traveling or dealing with some aspects of dutch life. As the tale progresses, these aspects might be more than many people would realize.

The Well-Tempered Cello
The Well-Tempered Cello revisits the masterpieces that form a soundtrack to a cellist's life - the Six Cello Suites of Johann Sebastian Bach- and weaves them into a memoir of how these beloved compo-sitions can help us interpret our own life stories. Miranda Wilson was a child in New Zealand when she first began to learn the notes of Bach's Cello Suites, starting with the famous Prelude in G Major. After moving to the United States for a career as a cellist, music journalist, and professor, she became obsessed with the goal of performing all six from memory in a marathon concert. Relearning and reinterpreting the Cello Suites, she realized that there is always something new to be found within their notes and melodies, as if they possess a life of their own. In a six-part structure that resembles the arc of Bach's cycle, The Well-Tempered Cello creates both an expressive reading of Bach's Cello Suites and a reflection on the musician's restless search for meaning. It is a book for music lovers who seek to know why we listen again and again to the compositions that accompany us on life's journeys, and why music seems to listen to us too.

A Philosophy of Playing Drum Kit
The author is a drummer with experience in a variety of musical genres and contexts, with emphasis on rock and related styles. This auto ethnographic Element presents the author's philosophy of playing drum kit. The text explains how playing drum kit matters to this musician and may resonate with others to whom making music matters in similar ways. The Element contains audio files of music in which the author plays drum kit in the ensemble settings described. There are photos of the author's drums and of him drumming. Based on June Boyce-Tillman's non-religious model of holistic spirituality and Tim Ingold's notion of correspondences, the author describes how playing drum kit enables him to experience transcendence - the magical nexus at which Materials, Construction, Values/Culture and Expression meet. Each of these domains, and the magic derived from their combination, is illustrated through examples of the author's live and recorded musical collaborations.

Piano Development L2
Piano Development (PD) is, throughout the PMP Development Areas, the main framework around which all other Development Areas orbit; it has been conceived to help piano teachers achieve a profound view of their student's improvements while guiding them throughout the higher levels of piano playing.PD is divided into a first set of 20 levels and the student should be working on two different and consecutive levels at the same time.The general complexity expressed at each level of PD does not have to be comparable to the difficulty of other areas simultaneously studied, especially if related to repertoire. Indeed, the student may find him/herself studying a repertoire piece that is much more difficult than is expressed by the level required in PD.At this level all melodic lines are played by one hand at the time with no superimposition of a second melody or any other kind of melodic structure.Some piecese will be played exclusevely with one hand while others will require the use of both hands: in this case the melody will pass from one hand to the other; a dotted line connecting the melody through the two staves will help visualizing the correct melodic outline. A melodic line passing from one hand to the other can be found in many cases in the keyboard literature; as an example, the inner voice (or voices) from a fugue, generally with more than two parts, may be performed alternately by the two hands.When playing a melody without a contrapunctual line the student's inner hearing and sense of rhythm and control of durations4 will consistently develope; consequentely a sense of metre will strongly improve.By following the PMP principles the student will be working on PD L1 or PD L3 together with this level; in the latter case, the student will be dealing with a mixed set of pieces composed for two hands playing simultaneously as well as pieces for two hands performing one only melody.The introduction comprises directions for using this book, a description of all rhythmic patterns and time signatures found in the pieces and a description of the minimum prerequisites eventually needed for effectively starting this book. More specific direction for the teacher, related to a methodological approach to the pieces are also included; topics taken into consideration are: AccidentalsHand positionsMetronomeFinding hand positions and improvising prior to practicing each pieceImprovising chamber musicKey signaturesMoving to a new pieceMoving to a new levelMonitoring

Also, with one exception at the very end of the book, none of the songs require any bends, which can be difficult for beginners.Songlist: Go Tell Aunt Rhody, You Are My Sunshine, Home Sweet Home, Bury Me Beneath the Willows, Irene Goodnight, Goin' Down the Road Feelin' Bad, My Old Kentucky Home, Sweet Betsy From Pike, Simple Gifts, Shenandoah, Wreck of the Old 97, Old Folks at Home (Swanee River), Molly Malone, It Hurts Me Too, St. James InfirmaryThis course also includes online access to audio tracks to help you learn and practice.

Bevington & Sons, Victorian Organ Builders
Now a fully revised and expanded second edition, Bevington & Sons, Victorian Organ Builders, tells the story of four generations of the Bevington family who presided over Bevington & Sons, the renowned organ builders of Soho, London, who built and erected more than 2,000 pipe organs between 1794 and 1950, and sold them all over the world.Generously illustrated, it includes many facts and figures relating to individual organs together with a comprehensive database for over 1,300 instruments, both past and present, although Stop Lists are not included.Partly genealogical, there is also a chance to look at the social context in which the Bevington family conducted their business and, as well as many musicians of the time, there are unexpected links with Florence Nightingale, Bedlam, Dickens and a famous London neurological hospital, that make the book an absorbing companion to other, more technical, works on organ building.Every Bevington organ has its own tale to tell and it is hoped that readers will enjoy the many vignettes discovered whilst researching the Bevington family history.
