Category : Music

Pages : 42
Book Description
Alexander Peskanov Piano Concerto No. 7, published by Classical Video Concepts, Inc. was inspired by the 50th Wedding Anniversary of composer's friends, Judith and Murray Siegel. The first movement has a vibrant spirit that reflects the dynamic life of these two people. The second movement is lyrical and tells about the passion of love and the strength that makes a great marriage. The third movement is based on a motif from an old Jewish song that the composer's grandfather, David used to sing during family gatherings. The movement has a strong influence of harmonic colors, and engaging rhythms found in klezmer and Hassidic music.

The Scoring of Baroque Concertos
Author: C. R. F. MaunderPublisher: Boydell Press
ISBN: 9781843830719
Category : Music
Languages : en
Pages : 304
Book Description
The concertos of Vivaldi, Bach, Handel and their contemporaries are some of the most popular, and the most frequently performed, pieces of classical music; and the assumption has always been they were full orchestral works. This book takes issue with this orthodox opinion to argue quite the reverse: that contemporaries regarded the concerto as chamber music. The author surveys the evidence, from surviving printed and manuscript performance material, from concerts throughout Europe between 1685 and 1750 (the heyday of the concerto), demonstrating that concertos were nearly always played one-to-a-part at that time. He makes a particularly close study of the scoring of the bass line, discussing the question of what instruments were most appropriate and what was used when. The late Dr RICHARD MAUNDER was Fellow of Christ's College, Cambridge.
Historical Dictionary of Music of the Classical Period

ISBN: 0810873869

Languages : en
Pages : 665
Book Description
When we speak of “classical music” it often refers rather loosely to serious “art” music but at the core is really the music of the classical period running from about 1730 to 1800, give or take. This was truly one of the most glorious periods for both composition and performance and it is this classical music which is still at the core of today’s repertoire. Obvious names connected with this period are Haydn, Mozart and Beethoven, but there were many more still reasonably well known like Gluck and C.P.E Bach, and dozens more who are regrettably little known today. This Historical Dictionary of Music of the Classical Period includes not only these composers, but also eminent conductors and performers, patrons, and publishers. There are also dictionary entries on major centers of music-making, typical instruments, important technical terms, and emerging musical forms, including the symphony and opera. Indeed, with a 1,000 cross-referenced entries, there is information on most matters of interest. This is prefaced by an extensive chronology, tracing the course of this period from year to year, and an introduction taking a careful look at the period as a whole. Finally, there is a substantial bibliography. Surely, this is a book which will appeal not only to students and researchers but all music-lovers.
