100 Books Every Folk Music Fan Should Own
In recent years an almost overwhelming number of books have appeared covering various aspects of American folk music and its history. Before 1970, most comprised collections of songs with a sprinkling of biographical information on noted performers. Over the past decade, however, scholars, journalists, and folk artists themselves have contributed biographies and autobiographies, instructional books and historical surveys, sociological studies and ethnographic analyses of this musical genre.In 100 Books Every Folk Music Fan Should Own, performer and historian Dick Weissman offers a reliable route through the growing sea of book-length studies, establishing for future scholars a foundation for their research. Beginning with early twentieth-century collections of folk songs, the author brings readers to the present by exploring modern studies of important events, critical collections of primary sources, the most significant musical instruction guides, and in-depth portraits of traditional and contemporary American folk musicians. For each title selected, Weissman provides his own brief summary of its contents and assessment of its significance for the reader-whether fan or scholar.Folk music fans, scholars, and students of the American folk music tradition-indeed, any reader seeking guidance on the best books in the field-will want a copy of this vital work.
100 klassische Musikstücke, die du einmal im Leben gehört haben musst
Anspruchsvoll, ernst, schwer zugänglich. Bei keiner Musikrichtung halten sich Vorurteile so hartnäckig, sind die Berührungsängste so groß wie bei der Klassik. Und wagt man sich dann doch in die unbekannten Gefilde der 'E-Musik' vor, wird man von einer Unzahl großer Namen und kryptischer Werkbezeichnungen überrollt. Wo anfangen? Was ist wirklich hörenswert? Und hat man sich mal für Bach entschieden - welches seiner über tausend Werke soll man zuerst hören?Der italienische Komponist Nicola Campogrande ist ein leidenschaftlicher Vermittler und Botschafter der klassischen Musik. Seine pointierten Porträts von 100 Highlights aus 700 Jahren Musikgeschichte bieten, was kein Algorithmus kann: eine kluge, charmante Moderation, die Lust macht, sofort auf 'Play' zu drücken. So lässt sich jahrhundertealten Ohrwürmern wiederbegegnen und manch neue Entdeckung machen. Campograndes Sammlung - von Monteverdi über Bach, Mozart, Beethoven oder Schubert bis zu Stravinsky und Pärt - beweist, dass wirklich jede:r zwischen einer 700 Jahre alten Messe und einem minimalistischen Soundtrack aus New York neue Lieblingswerke finden kann.

A History of Bel Canto
Bel canto singing was a historical phenomenon which embraced Italian opera of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. It required infinite variety of sound, in particular a lyrical ecstacy, a faultless technique to dispatch the vocal pyrotechnics demanded of it, and earned itself eloquent praise as `the singing which is heard within the soul'.Rodolfo Celletti, who has devoted his whole career to studying the voice from every historical, technical, and musical aspect, offers here a fascinating history of bel canto singing and the voice in operatic literature. He begins by discussing the links of bel canto with the operatic ideals of the baroque, and points out that the style was created as much by operatic composers and their librettists as by their executants, the singers. To this end he undertakes a review of Italian opera of the period, andtraces the development of the style in different composers and their works. There is a chapetr on Castrati - the voice par excellence of bel canto - and the art of singing in their day. The final chapter looks at the history of bel canto since Rossini, charting its death and resurrection.
