Alfred Music #74-0143126067. Published by Alfred Music (AP.74-0143126067). ISBN 9780143126065. English. [Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart] By Paul Johnson. In this brilliant biography, acclaimed historian Paul Johnson draws upon his expert knowledge of the era and Mozart's own private letters to conjure Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's life and times in rich detail. Johnson charts Mozart's life from age three through to his later years. Along the way, Johnson challenges some of the popular myths that cloud Mozart's image: his allegedly tempestuous personal relationships and supposedly bitter rivalry with Salieri, as well as the notion that he was desperately impoverished when he died. The result---a bold, invigorating portrait of one of the most popular and influential composers of all time. $17.00 - See more - Buy onlinePre-shipment lead time: 1 to 2 weeks | | |

Updated Edition-If you ever needed proof that a magazine can have a love affair with a musician you're holding it in your hands. For DownBeat the preeminent publication of the jazz world Miles Dewey Davis was one of its most cherished subjects. Since it began covering the jazz scene in 1939 no other artist has been more diligently chronicled in its pages than Davis.The beauty of this collection is seeing the development of an artist over time. The reviews of his music go from quietly introducing a new talent to revering perhaps the greatest jazz artist of his generation. The feature articles begin with a very young very polite Davis lamenting I've worked so little. Icould probably tell you where I was playing any night in the last three years. As he develops the interviews show Davis gaining confidence and stature showing swagger and becoming the over-the-top say-it-like-it-is showman that made every interview an event.The Miles Davis Reader compiles more than 200 news stories feature articles and reviews by some of the greatest writers in jazz into one volume. It delivers a patchwork of his words and music - in the moment as they happened. With several lengthy features added along with a dozen new photographs this new edition is a beautiful series of snapshots a year-by-year ride through the many phases of Davis as an artist and as a man.

To celebrate the 150th anniversary of the birth of one of Britainâ??s greatest composers Sir Edward Elgar renowned Elgar scholar J.P.E. Harper-Scott casts new and frequently surprising light on Elgar chronicling his rise to the forefront of early twentieth-century modernism in this concise and absorbing volume.

J.P.E. Harper-Scott takes a combative swipe at many of the critical myths and prejudices that have attached themselves to the figure of Elgar revealingboth a surprisingly elusive personality and a deeper often darker message within his works. Questions answered include How did the son of a provincial piano tuner rise to international fame? Was the English countryside the principle inspiration for Elgar's music? Was this moustachioed red-blooded imperialist all that he seemed? And more!

Par KATER MICHAEL H.. Dans ce livre qui complête une série d'études menées sur la culture durant l'époque nazie, l'historien Michael Kater suit le parcours de huit compositeurs très différents les uns des autres, auscultant le comportement d'artistes qui avaient déjà , au moment de l'avênement de Hitler en 1933, une réputation dans la sphêre musicale allemande et internationale. Son étude minutieuse, qui s'appuie sur une documentation en partie inédite, d'une exceptionnelle richesse, suit la trajectoire de personnalités qui choisirent ou bien la collaboration et l'opportunisme, ou bien la résistance et l'exil. Dans la premiêre catégorie, les deux compositeurs postromantiques, Strauss et Pfitzner, s'accommodêrent du pouvoir nazi au nom de la grande tradition germanique??; Hindemith partageait cette position, mais le modernisme qu'il avait incarné sous la République de Weimar suscitait un rejet qui le contraignit finalement à l'exil. Orff et Egk saisirent l'occasion de faire carriêre et de représenter la nouvelle Allemagne par leurs oeuvres et leur activité. A l'opposé, Schoenberg et Weill, qui étaient juifs, prirent immédiatement le chemin de l'exil. Hartmann, enfin, cessa de composer, restant à l'écart de la vie publique jusqu'à la fin de la guerre.
Ces huit destins croisés mettent cruellement en jeu les rapports entre l'esthétique et la politique, sur fond de lutte entre les Anciens et les Modernes. / Broché / Livre / Livres

Author Philipp Spitta accompanies this biographical material with quotations from primary sources: correspondence, family records, diaries, official documents, and more. In addition to biographical data, Spitta reviews Bach's musical production, with analyses of more than 500 pieces, covering all the important works. More than 450 musical excerpts are included in the main text, and a 43-page musical supplement illustrates longer passages. Despite the scholarly nature of this work, it also has the rare distinction of being a study that can be read with considerable enjoyment and great profit by every serious music lover, with or without a substantial background in the history of music or musical theory.

Par DAHLHAUS CARL. A travers une série d'essais écrits entre 1964 et 1988, Carl Dahlhaus (1928-1989) aborde les différents aspects de l'oeuvre et de la pensée d'Arnold Schoenberg. Sa réflexion porte aussi bien sur les dimensions strictement compositionnelles que sur des questions esthétiques. C'est ainsi qu'il s'attache aux notions de «musique à programme», de «variation développante» ou de «prose musicale», comme aux questions liées à l'atonalité et au dodécaphonisme, ainsi qu'aux relations de Schoenberg avec la tradition et aux polémiques qu'il a suscitées. Les textes esthétiques situent le compositeur dans un vaste horizon historique, philosophique et musical. Les analyses font apparaître la cohérence des oeuvres en s'attachant avant tout au sens musical. Les concepts et les idées sont inscrits dans une perspective historique, épistémologique et musicale qui en éclaire avec précision la signification.

The legendary singer, songwriter and guitarist has gone down in history as almost a mythically brilliant voice of a generation, turning late 20th century angst into electrifying rock music. Brett Morgen's Montage Of Heck documentary was fully authorised by the Cobain family, after his widow Courtney Love approached him with the idea for the film.Getting exclusive access to Cobain's personal and family archives was an unprecedented achievement, allowing Morgen to delve deeply into home movies, recordings, artwork, photography, demos and journals, presenting an intimate portrait of Cobain's personal life as well as his astonishing artistry. The exclusive interviews in the film have provided fans with incredible insight into Cobain's life, featuring words from all the key figures like Courtney Love, Krist Novoselic, and his parents. Included in this book are extended versions of these interviews, giving unbridled vision into his life and work, told by the people who knew him best.Accompanying these interviews are some incredible and often never-before-seen visuals including animation stills from the films, personal art, candid photography and other treasures from his personal archive. Looking at these visuals, readers will find a true sense of the tortured genius, the artist who achieved enormous success and almost demi-god status yet still struggled with his personal, all-too-human demons. Since Cobain's tragic death, fans have been left with nothing but his music and an overwhelming amount of press rumours and cinema speculation. Now, Cobain: Montage Of Heck and the accompanying documentary provides the most definitive insight into the real man behind the musical legend.For nearly everyone who is interested in popular music, this book is absolutely fascinating. Cobain's boundary-pushing art has almost been overshadowed by rumour, but this book thankfully restores both to their rightful place, setting examples of his boundless creativity alongside authorised truths from the people who knew him intimately. Cobain: Montage Of Heck is sure to be seen as a true classic of rock biography. / Livre

Qui est Jacques Douai ?
Jacques Douai est un chanteur français. De son vrai nom Gaston Tanchon, il est né le 20 décembre 1920 à Douai (d?où il tirera son nom de scène). Il est mort le 7 août 2004 à Paris. Il était surnommé « le troubadour des temps modernes ». Il a chanté Prévert, Aragon, Ferré, Trenet, Max Jacob, Georges Brassens, Jacques Brel... mais aussi des poètes du Moyen Âge comme Chrétien de Troyes, Rutebeuf ou François Villon. Il a été le premier interprète masculin de la chanson Les Feuilles mortes de Prévert et Kosma en 1947. Il a reçu le grand prix de l?Académie Charles-Cros à plusieurs reprises : 1955, 1962, 1968.
Le Livre - Une biographie - toute une époque
Jacques Douai a été un artiste prestigieux à l?écart du grand public et des médias. Son immense talent d?interprète de la chanson poétique n?a d?égal que la détermination tenace du militant culturel. Sa carrière, étalée sur la seconde partie du siècle écoulé, a commencé au cabaret : Chez Pomme, au Quod Libet, à La Rose Rouge, à L?Échelle de Jacob, Chez Solange, à La Reine Blanche, au Club du Vieux-Colombier... et dans de nombreux autres lieux dont les plus connus préfigurent l?âge d?or de la chanson. Puis la scène, le disque et la culture populaire se succèdent pour cet animateur inlassable d?une prophétique civilisation des loisirs. Inspiré de Jules Ferry et des grands humanistes de son parcours, il a porté le chant des poètes à toutes les sensibilités. Il a été l?ambassadeur de la chanson francophone sous toutes les latitudes avant de créer, avec Thérèse Palau, le Ballet national populaire de danses françaises puis le Théâtre populaire de la chanson, enfin, avec Ethery Pagava, l?admirable et généreux théâtre du Jardin. Cet ouvrage veut ainsi répondre à un devoir de mémoire et d?amitié. L?aventure humaine et artistique de Jacques Douai doit échapper à l?indifférence et à l?oubli. Elle témoigne de grandes et belles heures de notre patrimoine.

Par BOUSCANT / DESCHENEAUX. L'oeuvre monumentale de Darius Milhaud (1892-1974) retrace la trajectoire d'un compositeur de son temps, conscient des enjeux esthétiques de la modernité musicale française. Figure de proue de la polytonalité, membre du Groupe des Six, Milhaud n'a cessé tout au long de sa carriêre d'expérimenter des avenues compositionnelles novatrices. Sa nature profondément inventive, conjuguée à une constante ouverture d'esprit aux arts et aux lettres, l'aMène à se tailler une place de choix parmi ses contemporains de la scêne musicale internationale. Les onze études rassemblées ici permettent de découvrir de nouveaux aspects de la production et de la personnalité créatrice du compositeur français. Divisé en trois parties, l'ouvrage s'ouvre sur la figure de l'«expérimentateur» chez Milhaud, saisissable depuis ses premiers essais polytonaux, jusqu'aux compositions aléatoires de maturité en passant par des partitions montrant de véritables innovations dans le domaine vocal. La deuxiême partie gravite autour de la question des rapports particuliers que Milhaud entretient avec ses contemporains, en l'occurrence Maurice Ravel et Charles Koechlin, ainsi qu'avec le couple brésilien Nininha et Oswaldo Guerra. La derniêre partie se consacre au contexte sociopolitique français des années 1930 où Milhaud est confronté à de nouveaux défis esthétiques à travers ses collaborations pour le Front populaire, le thétre et le film. En plus de présenter de nombreux documents d'archives inédits (lettres, correspondances, programmes de concert et documents iconographiques), ce collectif jette un regard critique sur des oeuvres généralement ignorées, et tout particuliêrement celles écrites pour la voix, la scêne, le ballet et le cinéma. / Broché / Livre / Livres

Le ?Bach tchèque?. C?est ainsi que le compositeur Jan Dismas Zelenka (1679-1745) a été longtemps qualifié non seulement par ses contemporains mais aussi par la postérité. Fils d'un organiste de Lounovice, il fut instruit dans un collège de Jésuites à Prague. Il obtint un poste de contrebassiste à la cour du roi de Saxe, à Dresde, en 1710. Entre 1716 et 1719, il fit un voyage à Vienne (où il étudia auprès de Johann Joseph Fux), puis en Italie où, selon toute vraisemblance, il put connaître Antonio Lotti et Alessandro Scarlatti. En un temps où la musique gagnait ses lettres de noblesse en Allemagne, ce contrebassiste tchèque partagea souvent sa vie entre Prague et Dresde, au service de la Chapelle Royale où il demeura jusqu'à la fin de ses jours. Son oeuvre, riche de quelque 200 opus, comprend de superbes pages pour instruments à vent mais aussi pour l?église, privilégiant la voix et les offices religieux. / Livre /
