Leipzig Church Music from the Sherard Collection
Author: Sebastian KnüpferPublisher: A-R Editions, Inc.
ISBN: 0895797984
Category : Music
Languages : un
Pages : 329
Book Description
This edition contains eight sacred compositions by the Leipzig cantors who were the immediate predecessors of J. S. Bach: Sebastian Knüpfer (163376), Johann Schelle (16481701), and Johann Kuhnau (16601722). They are edited from manuscripts collected by James Sherard (16661738), an English apothecary and amateur musician. Five of the works are large-scale vocal concertos, inluding two highly expressive psalm settings by Sebastian Knüpfer; a Magnificat by Johann Schelle that anticipates aspects of J. S. Bach's Magnificat in D Major (BWV 243); and Schelle's Durch Adams Fall, one of the first Lutheran works to combine chorale melodies, Biblical recitation, and arias. The remaining three compositions are virtuosic concertos for solo voice, including Schelle's Ah! Quam multa sunt peccata for alto, and two major additions to the repertory for tenor: Kuhnau's Laudate pueri and Muss nicht der Mensch. The instrumental writing also includes many notable features, such as two early examples of trumpet solos, one piece with scordatura violins, and two with organ obbligatos. Contents 1. De profundis, Sebastian Knüpfer (CCATB solo, CATB ripieno, 4 violas [or 2 violins, 2 violas], fagotto, violone, organ) 2. Lauda Jerusalem, Knüpfer (CATB, 2 violins, 3 violas, fagotto, violone, organ) 3. Salve solis orientis, Johann Schelle (CCATTB, clarino piccolo, 2 cornettinos, 3 trombones, 2 violins, 2 violas, basso continuo) 4. Durch Adams Fall, Schelle (CCATB, 2 cornettinos, 3 trombones, 2 violins, 2 violas, organ) 5. Magnificat, Schelle (CCATB, 2 cornettinos, 3 trombones, 2 violins, 2 violas, organ) 6. Ah! quam multa sunt peccata, Schelle (Alto, 2 violins, cembalo) 7. Laudate pueri, Johann Kuhnau (Tenor, 2 violins [scordatura], trombone or viola da gamba [or violoncello], basso continuo) 8.

Languages : en
Pages : 241
Book Description
Bridging the fields of conservation, art history, and museum curating, this volume contains the principal papers from an international symposium titled "Historical Painting Techniques, Materials, and Studio Practice" at the University of Leiden in Amsterdam, Netherlands, from June 26 to 29, 1995. The symposium—designed for art historians, conservators, conservation scientists, and museum curators worldwide—was organized by the Department of Art History at the University of Leiden and the Art History Department of the Central Research Laboratory for Objects of Art and Science in Amsterdam. Twenty-five contributors representing museums and conservation institutions throughout the world provide recent research on historical painting techniques, including wall painting and polychrome sculpture. Topics cover the latest art historical research and scientific analyses of original techniques and materials, as well as historical sources, such as medieval treatises and descriptions of painting techniques in historical literature. Chapters include the painting methods of Rembrandt and Vermeer, Dutch 17th-century landscape painting, wall paintings in English churches, Chinese paintings on paper and canvas, and Tibetan thangkas. Color plates and black-and-white photographs illustrate works from the Middle Ages to the 20th century.
Sophie's World
Author: Jostein GaarderPublisher: Farrar, Straus and Giroux
ISBN: 1466804270
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 599
Book Description
A page-turning novel that is also an exploration of the great philosophical concepts of Western thought, Jostein Gaarder's Sophie's World has fired the imagination of readers all over the world, with more than twenty million copies in print. One day fourteen-year-old Sophie Amundsen comes home from school to find in her mailbox two notes, with one question on each: "Who are you?" and "Where does the world come from?" From that irresistible beginning, Sophie becomes obsessed with questions that take her far beyond what she knows of her Norwegian village. Through those letters, she enrolls in a kind of correspondence course, covering Socrates to Sartre, with a mysterious philosopher, while receiving letters addressed to another girl. Who is Hilde? And why does her mail keep turning up? To unravel this riddle, Sophie must use the philosophy she is learning—but the truth turns out to be far more complicated than she could have imagined.
