Book Description
I was lying in the middle of a great open grass area. I wasn't sure, but in the distance was what looked to be a playground. It reminded me of the night I'd got drunk at the party my best friend Emma had taken me to and somehow got knocked out. But I couldn't be there. When mum found out she freaked and made me leave my beloved Queensland to live in Massacro. Then what was I doing laying here? It had to be a dream . . . but it seemed so real. I could feel the cold wind blowing softly at the back of my neck, making my hair swirl around my face. I could smell the mist drifting above the damp grass. And I could feel my head hammering violently due to my drunken state and the knock I got to my head thanks to a drunken boy fight. My vision was hazy due to the sleep in my eyes, not to mention the fact that it was pitch black and my eyes hadn't adjusted to the lack of light yet. But there in the distance, I was sure I could see someone standing there. I couldn't see who it was but I could see the outline of a human body.

Seventeenth–Century Ballet A multi–art spectacle
Author: Ivanna Spencer
Publisher: Xlibris Corporation
ISBN: 145688199X
Category : Music
Languages : en
Pages : 130
Book Description
This book contains a selection of research papers presented at the International Interdisciplinary Symposium “Seventeenth–century Ballet: a multi–art spectacle” which was held at King’s College London on 7 August 2010. The purpose of the symposium was to act as an international forum for multidisciplinary research on seventeenth century ballet. As far as we are aware, this was the first symposium which is specifically aimed to bring together researchers from many disciplines including early music and dance, iconography, exoticism, neo–Platonism and European history. The ballets created during the period of High Renaissance are undoubtedly among the major masterpieces of the theatrical genre of the era, and this can be proved not only in terms of their popularity, but also of the high quality, craftsmanship and their variety in form. Emphasizing this diversity, the symposium focuses on the interplay and tensions between discourses, continuities and discontinuities, and competing images of the seventeenth century ballet in Europe.

The Guitar and its Music
Author: James Tyler
Publisher: OUP Oxford
ISBN: 0191518514
Category : Music
Languages : en
Pages : 349
Book Description
Following on from James Tyler's The Early Guitar: A History and Handbook(OUP 1980) tthis collaboration with Paul Sparks (their previous book for OUP, The Early Mandolin, appeared in 1989), presents new ideas and research on the history and development of the guitar and its music from the Renaissance to the dawn of the Classical era. Tyler's systematic study of the two main guitar types found between about 1550 and 1750 focuses principally on what the sources of the music (published and manuscript) and the writings of contemporary theorists reveal about the nature of the instruments and their roles in the music making of the period. The annotated lists of primary sources, previously published in The Early Guitar but now revised and expanded, constitute the most comprehensive bibliography of Baroque guitar music to date. His appendices of performance practice information should also prove indispensable to performers and scholars alike. Paul Sparks also breaks new ground, offering an extensive study of a period in the guitar's history—notably c.1759-c.1800—which the standard histories usually dismiss in a few short paragraphs. Far from being a dormant instrument at this time, the guitar is shown to have been central to music-making in France, Italy, the Iberian Peninsula, and South America. Sparks provides a wealth of information about players, composers, instruments, and surviving compositions from this neglected but important period, and he examines how the five-course guitar gradually gave way to the six-string instrument, a process that occurred in very different ways (and at different times) in France, Italy, Spain, Germany, and Britain.

Shakespeare Among Italian Criminologists and Psychiatrists, 1870s-1920s
Author: Emanuel Stelzer
Publisher: Skenè. Texts and Studies
ISBN:
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 242
Book Description
Italians found another way to engage with Shakespeare besides opera. In 1923, Italian intellectual Piero Gobetti wrote that his age would be remembered as a curious chapter in the reception history of Shakespeare, when the Bard got entangled with ideas of criminal anthropology. In fact, the uses of Shakespeare by Lombroso’s school are now forgotten. In the second half of the nineteenth century, Shakespeare began to be portrayed as a genius who anticipated the findings of the Italian Positivist School, or, alternatively, as an authority who could debunk them. Shakespeare’s own psyche and the characters of his plays were explored and pathologised. These studies occasionally percolated into the practices of courthouses, prisons, hospitals, and asylums, and had an impact on the performance of Shakespeare’s plays. This volume provides an edition of hitherto uncollected primary sources which document these uses of Shakespeare. Each text has a parallel English translation, and is introduced by a preface providing details about the context and its main discursive stances. The volume also features a critical introduction and explanatory notes.
