Book Description
Excerpt from The Community Orchestra, Its Formation and Maintenance A most valuable and effectual means of aiding in the maintenance of the community orchestra would be by the co operation of the non-playing music lovers of the town, formed into a committee for the management of affairs outside of the strictly musical arrangements for the orchestra. Which should of course be entirely under the control of the conductor. It would be the duty of this committee to attend to the col lection of funds for the necessary expenses - which, by the way, should not be very great - such as for music, music stands and for the purchase of instruments for those who could not afford them, or any which would be of use only to the orches tra, such as tympani, drums, double basses, etc. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

The Sound of Beauty
Author: Michael Kurek
Publisher: Ignatius Press
ISBN: 1642290939
Category : Music
Languages : en
Pages : 231
Book Description
Music remains something of a mystery to many people—ephemeral sounds floating invisibly through the air—here, and then gone. This book begins with the basic question of what music actually is, scientifically, employing simple, clear explanations of wave theory and the acoustics of sound as part of God's natural creation. It presents accessible and fascinating explanations of some theories of the psychology of perception of music, how music speaks to the mind, emotions, and spirit. Some of these concepts have rarely been addressed outside the ivory tower and even more rarely been seen through the lens of Catholic theology. Moving from music and the individual to music in the culture and the Church, the author addresses numerous issues in the context of Catholic thought, including: immanence and transcendence in music the Real Presence and music Moral Theology, Natural Law and music ordered and disordered understandings of music as it relates to the emotions understanding the authentic meanings of "beauty" and "creativity" the real function of music in Catholic liturgy the role of music in evangelization This is a kind of "layman's handbook," a comprehensive theology of all things music, which anyone can understand, written by an internationally respected classical composer and music professor at a top secular university who is also a faithful Catholic. It sheds light on the mysteries of music and furthers the spiritual formation regarding music for Catholics of many ages and walks of life. It is groundbreaking in its comprehensive and holistic treatment of music from a Catholic perspective, and particularly timely in advocating for the renewal of the norms for music in liturgy found in the documents of Vatican II. It also presents one of the most penetrating critical examinations to be found of contemporary classical music, from an insider.

Making Beats
Author: Joseph G. Schloss
Publisher: Wesleyan University Press
ISBN: 0819574821
Category : Music
Languages : en
Pages : 273
Book Description
Winner of IASPM's 2005 International Book Award Based on ten years of research among hip-hop producers, Making Beats was the first work of scholarship to explore the goals, methods, and values of a surprisingly insular community. Focusing on a variety of subjects—from hip-hop artists' pedagogical methods to the Afrodiasporic roots of the sampling process to the social significance of "digging" for rare records—Joseph G. Schloss examines the way hip-hop artists have managed to create a form of expression that reflects their creative aspirations, moral beliefs, political values, and cultural realities. This second edition of the book includes a new foreword by Jeff Chang and a new afterword by the author.
