However, examination of Orientalism in sacred genres remains lacking. In this study, Elissa Keck investigates aspects of Orientalism within the English oratorio genre, specifically William Walton`s Belshazzar`s Feast (1931). Keck argues that this oratorio reflects Orientalist ideologies through binary opposition that perpetuate the predominantly negative stereotypes of the Middle East. Examining the social, political, and musical context for Belshazzar`s Feast in interwar England, Keck draws on eighteenth through twentieth-century Western compositions that appropriate the Orient in similar ways. Close examination of this oratorio reflects Walton`s adherence to the standard tonal, harmonic, and orchestral signifiers of Orientalism as established by Orientalist composers before him. Keck argues that Walton`s exposure to Orientalism from an early age, and the rising nationalistic sentiments in England between the wars, shaped his conception of the Orient as a place of violence and barbarity while promoting the West, portrayed by the Israelites in Belshazzar`s Feast, as rational and civilized. ····· 10361115779

It analyzes why the music still retains some elements from the `traditional` past despite being in the modern era. Issues of to which the music reflects modern subjectivity of Basotho are dealt with in the study as well as the role of music in upholding or not upholding existing hegemonic relations in the modern world. In pursuing the above issues the study adopts a qualitative method of investigation. the results of the study shows that Basotho accordion music qualifies as an expression of alternative modernity, because it displays a fusion of both western and traditional aspects.Thus, the music serves a dual purpose in that at times it rejects modernity, while at the same time it it employs the very same tools of modernity. In conclusion, the study recommends that Basotho accordion music be vied as a fusion of traditional past and modernity. ····· 10361115662

The analytical procedures are informed by Richard Waterman`s theory of syncretism and Peter Chang`s research on composers` reinterpretation of cultural elements, which serve to explore Chen Yi`s cultural and educational background in relation to her composition. A set of factor proposed by Elliott Schwartz and Daniel Godfrey are examined to discover underlying organizational principles. The first two chapters provide an overview of Western and non-Western composers` approaches to cross- cultural fusion in general and Chinese composers` approaches in particular. The subsequent four chapters present detailed analyses of Chen Yi`s nine work with an emphasis on underlying organizational principles. The final chapter contains a summary of Chen Yi`s personal style, the evolution of her concepts of stylistic fusion and related techniques, and evaluates their significance with respect to successful fusion. ····· 10361114921
für 53.10€ kaufen ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray Expressionism was a radical form of art at the start of twentieth century, totally different from previous norms of artistic expression. Schoenberg`s attention to expressionism in music is related to personal tragedies such as his marital crisis. Schonberg solved the issues of extremely emotional content with atonality, and devoted himself to painting works such as `Visions` that show his anger and uneasiness. Both Schoenberg and Kandinsky gained their most significant artistic development almost at the same time while struggling to find their own voices, that is, their inner necessity, within an indifferent social environment. Both Schoenberg and Kandinsky also embodied Gesamtkunstwerk idea throughout their artistic works, Die glückliche Hand and Der gelbe Klang. An analysis of Schoenberg`s two compositions, Erwartung and Die glückliche Hand, shows their similar use of extreme contrasts, and the changing emotional states of the characters. He consistently employs particular tone colors for the opera`s main characters, and specifies colors and lighting to highlight psychological impact. ····· 10361114883

Debussy spent the three summers of 1880, 1881, and 1882 with von Meck`s family as a piano instructor and a pianist for the trio in residence. His Russian trips as well as the World Expositions of 1889 and 1900 in Paris greatly contributed to Debussy`s knowledge and appreciation of the Russian music of The Five. The composers of The Five: Milii Balakirev, Nikolai Rimsky- Korsakov, Alexander Borodin, Modest Mussorgsky, and Cesar Cui, made a collective contribution to the Russian Style designed to oppose the Western tradition in music. Russian gestures, developed and established as essential in the style of The Five, are reflected in a number of Debussy`s piano and vocal compositions. Some of the gestures did not have a lasting effect and gradually disappeared in later works others remained and became essential features of Debussy`s compositional writing. ····· 10361114500

für 44.10€ kaufen ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray There has long been a connection made between music and visual art movements of around the turn of the twentieth century. Naïve art, as exemplified by Henri Rousseau, has been virtually lost in such artistic comparisons. Similarly lost in canonic explorations of art in conjunction with music is the work of twentieth century Swedish composers. The simplicity and childish depictions of the world found in the work of Naïve visual artists in both France and Sweden can be seen in musical form in compositions by Swedish composers such as Hugo Alfvén and Wilhelm Stenhammar. This paper examines in detail the way music by Swedish composers working at the beginning of the twentieth century reflects the concepts of Naïve art. ····· 10361101893

Although they are commonly found both on music shop shelves and on the music stand of many performers, they are rarely studied, discussed and analysed. This book studies the phenomenon of instructive editions from a plurality of viewpoints: what are they which problems are posed by their use how and how much are they used today how, when and why were they born And, most important of all: what can they tell us as concerns past performance practice Indeed, instructive editions become formidable tools for the study of past performance, being the distillation of their editor`s concept of the work. Their usefulness for studies in performance practice is shown through the analysis of Italian editions of Bach`s Well-Tempered Keyboard, an iconic work in keyboard literature and an all-time favourite in performance and teaching. The author`s personal experience as a concert pianist and teacher gives a further practical insight into the processes of music making. ····· 1036199689
