Book Description
First published in 2011, this text provides citations to the core Holst literature. The volume is intended for students and researchers, as well as those seeking an introduction to Holst. The inclusion of materials for the non- specialist seems entirely appropriate as Holst devoted much of his career to teaching amateur musicians. The contents of this book presents a selective, annotated list of essential materials published through the end of 2009, although a very few exceptions were made for a limited number of post-2009 print and web resources.

Book Description
Dieterich Buxtehude wrote seven suites on the Planets that have not survived; we know them only from a commendation by Johann Mattheson. Other seven-planet works of the time include a Dresden opera-ballet of 1678 whose composer is unknown, and a 1719 serenata by Johann David Heinichen written in contemporary Italian style. The 1678 opera-ballet is examined as a possible relative of the lost Buxtehude suites, alongside other astronomy-themed works of the time, such as J.C.F. Fischer's "Uranie" Passacaglia from Musicalischer Parnassus. A complete score of the 1678 opera-ballet is included in the appendix. The probable acquaintance of J.S. Bach with the Buxtehude suites from a relatively young age prompts a search for the seven-planet schema in his early works, and in fact, the two cantatas Christ lag in Todesbanden, BWV 4, and Gott ist mein Kn̲ig, BWV 71 fit this schema. Rhetorical types abstracted from these cantatas, including the Saturn-Mercury pair and the Mars-Venus pair, can be found among Bach's later chorale-based works. The analysis results in a valuable new understanding of the structure of Bach's two major early cantatas as well as a tentative account of what the Buxtehude suites themselves might have been like

Book Description
This is the first cultural history of Baroque Dresden, the capital of Saxony and the most important Protestant territory in the Empire from the mid-sixteenth to the early eighteenth century. Helen Watanabe-O'Kelly shows how the art patronage of the Electors fits into the intellectual climate of the age and investigates its political and religious context. Lutheran church music and architecture, the influence of Italy, the cabinet of curiosities and the culture of collecting, alchemy, mining and early technology, official image-making and court theatre are some of the wealth of colourful subjects dealt with during the period 1553 to 1733.

Book Description
Drawing of the postmodern perspective and concerns that informed her groundbreaking Terpsichore in Sneakers, Sally Banes’s Writing Dancing documents the background and developments of avant-garde and popular dance, analyzing individual artists, performances, and entire dance movements. With a sure grasp of shifting cultural dynamics, Banes shows how postmodern dance is integrally connected to other oppositional, often marginalized strands of dance culture, and considers how certain kinds of dance move from the margins to the mainstream. Banes begins by considering the act of dance criticism itself, exploring its modes, methods, and underlying assumptions, and examining the work of other critics. She traces the development of contemporary dance from the early work of such influential figures as Merce Cunningham and George Balanchine to such contemporary choreographers as Molissa Fenley, Karole Armitage, and Michael Clark. She analyzes the contributions of the Judson Dance Theatre and the Workers’ Dance League, the emergence of Latin postmodern dance in New York, and the impact of black jazz in Russia. In addition, Banes explores such untraditional performance modes as breakdancing and the “drunk dancing” of Fred Astaire. Ebook Edition Note: Ebook edition note: All images have been redacted.
