Book Description
Excerpt from French Music of to-Day The untiring activities of M. G. Jean-aubry in fostering international amenities in literary, artistic, and musical circles have made his name familiar not only in France and England, but throughout Western Europe. The official mission with which he has recently been entrusted by the French Government is no more than a just recognition of a course of action upon which he had already been privately engaged for many years, and which he would doubtless have continued Without such recognition. Primarily his mission has been to spread the knowledge of French achievements in these spheres not only abroad but at home, for even Frenchmen were at first slow to realise the im portance of the rejuvenation that had taken place in all the arts during the concluding decades of the nineteenth century. But the same curiosity that led him to the study of recent French achievements was bound eventually to extend itself to correspond ing movements in other countries with which his missionary work had brought him into relations. He thus became a sympathetic student first of our poets and then of our musicians, and he is an enthusiastic advocate, not only of contemporary French com posers, but of those English, Spanish, and Italian composers whose works place them in the vanguard of present-day music. Thus it comes about that he. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
Following the American Revolution, French observers often viewed the United States as a laboratory for the forging of new practices of liberté and égalité, in affinity with and divergence from France's own Revolutionary ideals and experiences. The volume examines French views through musical/theatrical portrayals of the American Revolution and Republic, soundscapes of the Statue of Liberty, and homages to the glorified figures of Washington, Franklin and Lafayette. Essays investigate paradoxical depictions of slavery in the United States and French Caribbean colonies of 'Amérique'. French critiques of American music and musicians, including the reception of Americanized or Creolized adaptations of European art traditions as well as American popular music and dance, are also presented. The subject of race features prominently in French interpretations of American music and identity. These interpretations see French constructions of the Indigenous American and African American "exotic" that intersect with tropes of noble, pastoral savagery, menacing barbarism, and the "civilizing" potency of French culture. The French reinterpretation of African American music and dance reveals both a revulsion of Black alterity and an attraction to the expressive freedom, and even subversiveness, of these "foreign" forms of music and dance. Contributions include essays by music, dance, theatre and opera scholars, and the volume will be essential reading for students and scholars of these disciplines.

Book Description
Nineteenth-Century Choral Music is a collection of essays studying choral music making as a cultural phenomenon, one that had an impact on multiple parts of society. Rather than merely offering a collection of raw descriptions of works, the contributors focus their discussions on what these pieces reveal about their composers as craftsmen/women. Major works as well as other equally rich parts of the repertoire are discussed, including smaller choral works and contributions by composers such as Fanny Mendelssohn, Amy Beach, Charles Stanford,
