Pustlauk A: The Classical and Early
Romantic Flute

The Classical and Early Romantic Flute

A Theoretical and Practical Guide

The Fleury Playbook has been justly celebrated as the most comprehensive extant collection of medieval music-dramas, containing in a single manuscript examples of non-biblical miracle plays, and settings of the Nativity and Resurrection stories, together with accounts of the conversion of Paul and Mary Magdalene. In this the first full-length monograph on the Playbook, Wyndham Thomas places the collection in its historical, cultural and musical context. Each of the 10 plays is treated to a close dramatic and musical analysis and placed in its broader context of musical life in the twelfth century.

The Fleury Playbook in Context

Medieval Music-Drama

A History of Black People and Alternative Music

We Were Here

How a once-forgotten Dutch painter inspired generations of artists, writers, and filmmakers Johannes Vermeer (1632–1675) is one of the most beloved painters in the world. But when an enterprising French journalist and art critic set out to recover his work in the mid-nineteenth century, both his name and achievement were virtually forgotten. Vermeer’s Afterlives tells the remarkable story of how one of the great masters of the Dutch Golden Age was lost to obscurity until the rise of art history as a new discipline introduced his work to modern audiences and asks why his art compels so many other artists to respond with works of their own. Ruth Bernard Yeazell traces the cultural ascendency of this extraordinary painter, whose enigmatic subjects and quiet, introspective interiors, transfigured by light and color, continue to captivate viewers far removed from his native Delft. We meet the critics who first welcomed Vermeer into the canon along with the painters who sought to imitate him, the forgers who tried to pass off their work as his own, and the contemporary artists who openly repurpose it. The enquiry concludes by looking at Vermeer’s paintings through the eyes of the poets and novelists who have attempted to translate his silence into words and give voice to the stories he left untold. Along the way, Yeazell interrogates the changing assumptions that govern art history, while demonstrating how paintings live on not only in later paintings but in poetry, fiction, photography, and film. Marking the 350th anniversary of Vermeer’s death, this beautifully illustrated book explores the variety of ways in which Vermeer’s art has been interpreted through the centuries and shows how his paintings take on afterlives of their own in the imaginations of those who view them.

Mastering Russian through Musical Culture

How do we study the sonic nature of war when very few of these sounds remain? World War One has left little sonic trace other than the popular music of the time. The sounds of World War One extended beyond sounds of entertainment and into the killing fields of the Western Front, the oceans of the world, and for the first time into the skies with the development of aviation. But beyond this, they entered into peoples homes, their streets, and indeed their thoughts, emotions, and feelings. Book-length studies exist on the sounds of many other recent major wars, but there is a lack of sonic coverage of World War One. Here, Michael Bull investigates the sounds of war as experienced by those who participated in it by drawing upon a wide range of written testament of the time. These written "voices" are subjective, living memories expressed as fragmentary, often unreliable testimony but provide us with the only living sonic testimony of the time. The book filters these accounts through the technologies of "total war," from the trench whistle to the tank, from the newly developed airplane to the submarine. It asks: how did the wartime population experience these sounds and what were the physical and cognitive consequences of the implementation and use of these often invasive technologies of destruction, instruction and sometimes protection? In doing so, the the book re-evaluates just how we should understand the sounds of World War One and the sounds of war more generally.

The Sonic Experience of World War One

Why X Matters S.

A poignant consideration of the material aspect of sound and how it fundamentally shapes our experience of the world, both in its presence and absence &nbsp; From the joyous communal connections fostered through shared auditory experience to the devastating impact of noise pollution in the deep sea, musician and author Damon Krukowski urges readers to reconsider the significance of sound and its role in both our personal and collective well-being. He looks despairingly at how the multipronged efforts of urban dwellers to mitigate city noise have led to increased isolation, loss of community, and a sense of physical detachment from one’s surroundings. He considers the consequences of the commodification of sound in the digital era. And he looks at what’s at stake in trying to preserve the world’s dwindling quiet places. &nbsp; Interspersed with personal reflections from years of working in the music business, this book investigates sound’s role in the environment, its value as a material, its relationship to labor, and how it affects our interactions with one another. Krukowski invites you to hear the world anew and renew your relationship with one of our most precious natural resources. So listen up!

Take a lively look back at the most significant 12-month span in Kiss’s career, 50 years on, joining Paul, Gene, Ace, and Peter as they conquer the world. &nbsp; 1976 suffered no shortage of notable events…Cincinnati’s “Big Red Machine” beat the Yankees in the World Series. Jimmy Carter beat Gerald Ford at the ballot box. Rocky lit up the big screen. And some guy named Bruce Jenner lit up the Summer Olympics. And it was all set against the backdrop of the United States Bicentennial. Kiss stomped into the fray with their platform boots, barnstorming the world and still finding time to record and release two of their all-time bestselling albums. Formed in 1973, Kiss had already grabbed attention with their outrageous makeup, stage show, and (of course) music. But in 1976 the band truly took off, unleashing Destroyer and Rock and Roll Over in a span of just eight months and logging more than 100 performances in North America and Europe. In Kiss ’76, Martin Popoff presents month-by-month narratives following the band around the world, across stages and through studios. The book features: <ul><li>Detailed analyses of both albums, including the recording sessions, sleeve art, and each</li><li>Info panels detailing the albums’ personnel, key dates, and track listings</li><li>Listings of tour dates and venues</li><li>Exclusive author interview material from figures like guitarist Ace Frehley, producer Bob Ezrin, and collaborator Kim Fowley</li><li>Month-by-month sidebars offering concurrent world, entertainment, and music news, putting the band’s impressive achievements in the context of that momentous year</li><li>Stunningly illustrated pages featuring performance and offstage photography, as well as period memorabilia and flat art</li></ul> This nostalgic and handsomely produced book offers a unique look at a critical chapter in the band’s career, sure to appeal to the legions of Kiss fans.

Marvin Gaye sang like he lived in bed. He could croon, deliver a political commentary, and sing to you like you were the only other soul on this earth. And in 1976 he gave us a taste of his erotic imagination with I Want You. An album made in honor of his ongoing love affair with Janis (Jan) Hunter, Gaye delivered excess and restraint to sound his desire. I Want You is an album that stands apart from Gaye's earlier collaborations with Diana Ross, Tammi Terrell, Mary Wells, and Kim Weston. Though not technically a duet, Gaye forges another kind of collaboration with Jan, the result of which is an album that provides an intimate portrait of an artist in love and lust. Using interviews, visual art, poetry, criticism, and gossip, this book explores ecstasy, funk, sensation, and a host of other delicious and fleshy concerns that animate I Want You. It does not attempt a strict historicization of the album as that would do it a disservice. Instead, this book seeks fidelity to the album by centering Gaye's fantasies, his engagement with Ernie Barnes' painting Sugar Shack, and sonic expression of desire for Jan.
