Music in the Seventeenth and Eighteenth Centuries
Author: Richard TaruskinPublisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 0199796033
Category : Music
Languages : en
Pages : 832
Book Description
The universally acclaimed and award-winning Oxford History of Western Music is the eminent musicologist Richard Taruskin's provocative, erudite telling of the story of Western music from its earliest days to the present. Each book in this superlative five-volume set illuminates-through a representative sampling of masterworks-the themes, styles, and currents that give shape and direction to a significant period in the history of Western music. Music in the Seventeenth and Eighteenth Centuries , the second volume Richard Taruskin's monumental history, illuminates the explosion of musical creativity that occurred in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. Examining a wealth of topics, Taruskin looks at the elegant masques and consort music of Jacobean England, the Italian concerto style of Corelli and Vivaldi, and the progression from Baroque to Rococo to romantic style. Perhaps most important, he offers a fascinating account of the giants of this period: Bach, Handel, Mozart, Haydn, and Beethoven. Laced with brilliant observations, memorable musical analysis, and a panoramic sense of the interactions between history, culture, politics, art, literature, religion, and music, this book will be essential reading for anyone who wishes to understand this rich and diverse period.

The Theatre of Drottningholm - Then and Now
Author: Willmar SauterPublisher: University of Exeter Press
ISBN: 9789187235924
Category : Teater
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
The Thetre of Drottiningholm - Then and Now tells the story of the Drottningholm Court Theatre, from 1766 - the year it was built - to today's performances presented during annual summer festivals. The court theatre was rarely used after Gustav III's death in 1792 until it was rediscovered in 1921, luckily for us, because this has meant that not only the auditorium but also the stage machinery, painted flats and backdrops have been almost perfectly preserved. This book provides a vivid picture of the Drottningholm Court Theatre: the architecture, the many different activities which took place here during the Gustavian era, and the use made of the theatre since its rediscovery to explore the nature of Baroque performance....The Court Theatre at Drottninholm is a work of art in the sense John Keats envisioned in his Ode to A Grecian Urn: 'a thing of beauty is a joy forever.' But it is more than an objet d'art, an antiquarian piece to be enjoyed by experts, Its aesthetic values should not make us forget that it is also a historical document, which adds to our knowledge about how theatre was performed and...experienced during the epoch when Carl Fredrik Adelcrantz created it. --Cover.
