    Melting the Venusberg

    Melting the Venusberg

    Paperback, in zeer goede staat

    This book begins with a pointed critique of the foundations of the understanding of Western music: that music from Pythagoras to the Renaissance has been viewed as the source and model of order in the universe and in society. Unfortunately that order was rigidly hierarchical, so that over the centuries music reinforced established social prejudices, particularly those against women. Nowhere was this more evident than in religious music that was regarded by male ecclesiastics and scholars as the instrument of choice for taming hysterical female eruptions.

    Through her mordant commentary on a rich selection of texts by major thinkers from two millennia of Christian theology, Heidi Epstein shows in the first part of Melting the Venusberg that music as the erotic embodiment of human engenderment has been ignored or suppressed, while music as the expression of transcendent harmony, order, and restraint has been extolled.

    The second re-constructive part of Melting the Venusberg draws on ignored sources and lost tropes from the Christian tradition as well as on insights from the music and thought of historical and contemporary woman composers and performers from Hildegard of Bingen and Lucrezia Vizzana to Rosetta Tharpe and Diamanda Galas. Through this recuperative synthesis, music's
    theological significance changes keys, as it moves beyond its symbolic function as divinely ordained, harmonious microcosm into more dissonant metaphorical registers. Those who have ears to hear will be delighted.

    No limit, De ultieme...

    No limit, De ultieme Eurodance hits uit de 90's

    Mooi exemplaar. Paperback als nieuw. Geillustreerd.

    Een zeer onthullend en grappig boek vol nostalgie naar een tijd waarin altijd de zon scheen! De grote Eurodance-hits uit de jaren negentig staan iedereen in het geheugen gegrift – al is het tegen wil en dank. De vrolijke, onweerstaanbare en pretentieloze nummers hebben de tand des tijds glansrijk doorstaan. Achter de kleurrijke acts blijkt een schat aan ongelooflijke, onverwachte en vaak dramatische verhalen verscholen. Hoe ging het er nu echt aan toe achter de schermen bij hitmachine 2 Unlimited? Wat is waar en wat niet in de heerlijke schijnwereld van de Vengaboys? Waarom zat Leila K (Open Sesame) bijvoorbeeld in Göteborg in de gevangenis? Hoe belandde de rapper van Twenty 4 Seven (Slave To The Music) in de Holleeder-groep? Waarom wordt het schattige Ace of Base (All that she wants) met nazi’s geassocieerd? 2 Unlimited, Snap!, The Vengaboys, Ace of Base, Dr Alban, Reel 2 Real, Culture Beat, Scooter, Party Animals, Rednex, Twenty 4 Seven, Haddaway, Captain Jack, Whigfield, Gala, Dune, Eiffel 65, Charly Lownoise & Mental Theo, Aqua, Mo-Do, Maxx, Sash!, 2 Brothers On The 4th Floor, O-Zone, Marky Mark & The Funky Bunch, Urban Cookie Collective, Scatman John, Gabber Piet, Capella, Gigi D’Agostino, Hakkûhbar, Leila K, Mosselman, DJ Paul Elstak, La Bouche e.v.a.

    Changing the Score

    Changing the Score

    Engels. Gebonden met omslag, in nieuwstaat.

    This study seeks to explore the role and significance of aria insertion, the practice that allowed singers to introduce music of their own choice into productions of Italian operas. Each chapter investigates the art of aria insertion during the nineteenth century from varying perspectives, beginning with an overview of the changing fortunes of the practice, followed by explorations of individual prima donnas and their relationship with particular insertion arias. Carolina Ungher s difficulties in finding a perfect aria to introduce into Donizetti s Marino Faliero; Guiditta Pasta s performance of an aria from Pacini s Niobe in a variety of operas, and the subsequent fortunes of that particular aria. Maria Malibran s interpolation of Vaccai s final scene from Giulietta e Romeo in place of Bellini's original setting in his I Capuleti e I Montecchi; and Adelina Patti's mini-concerts in the lesson scene of Il barbiere di Siviglia. The final chapter provides a treatment of a short story, Memoir of a Song, narrated by none other than an insertion aria itself, and the volume concludes with an appendix containing the first modern addition of this short story, a narrative that has lain utterly forgotten since its publication in 1849. This book covers a wide variety of material that will be of interest to opera scholars and opera lovers alike, touching on the fluidity of the operatic work, on the reception of the singers, and on the shifting and hardening aesthetics of music criticism through the period.
