Christoph Willibald Gluck: Orfeo Ed Euridice (Full Score)

Gluck's 'Orfeo et Euridice' was one of three operas composed by Gluck in an attempt to reform the Italian opera seria. The libretto is noble and grand and this must have inspired Gluck, for his approach to the score is also monumental, as well as orchestral in nature. The opera opens after the death of Euridice to a funereal choral tableau which is pierced by the cries of the anguished Orfeo. Huge dramatic choruses of shades and furies contrast starkly with the solo recitatives and arias of Orfeo as he searches for Euridice. The third act is particularly beautiful, as Gluck and Calzabigi turn the shade of Euridice into a complex lover and wife, unwilling to follow her husband blindly out of Hades, even though she has been called back to life. Her arguments and pleadings, her passion and confusion, create the torment in Orfeo that results in her being sent back to hell. This is an unabridged Dover re-publication.

Russian Piano Music - 44 Pieces By Rachmaninoff, Scriabin, Mussorgsky And Others

Nineteenth-century Europe's immersion into Romanticism fostered a "back to nature" movement in which artists turned toward folk music for inspiration. This collection spotlights the works of important Russian composers who drew upon and popularized folk melodies of their native country. Forty-four stirring pieces reflect the influence of Russia's peasant songs as well as the tonality and rhythms of music from the Russo-Greek Orthodox Church and Tartar culture. Suitable for intermediate-level pianists of all ages, this collection features contributions from Michael Glinka, hailed a century ago as "the father of Russian musical art." Additional contributors include Alexander Borodin, Modest Mussorgsky, Nikolas Rimsky-Korsakov, Alexander Scriabin, Sergei Rachmaninoff, and other composers. Reprint of the Carl Fischer, New York, 1915 edition.

The Ancient Music Of Ireland Arranged For Piano

Edward Bunting (1773?1843), the first systematic collector of Irish folksongs, was educated as an organ and piano player in Belfast. His life's work fell upon him at nineteen years old, when he was commissioned as a scribe to notate performances at a gathering of traditional harp players in Belfast in July 1792. He was so inspired by the music that, aided by some of the harpers, he embarked immediately upon travels around northwest Ireland to collect some of the old songs already close to disappearing. He published his first collection of Irish music four years later. In that volume and two later ones, he published almost 300 airs?some of them, according to tradition, dating as far back as the tenth century?and practically single-handedly rescued his country's ancient music from oblivion.The present collection, the last of Bunting's three such gatherings, contains 151 Irish airs arranged for piano, with the Irish names of the airs, their authors, and (where known) their dates of composition. Hard to find elsewhere, this is an indispensable book not only for students or lovers of Irish music, but also for students of general music history.Reprint of the Hodges and Smith, Dublin, 1840 edition.

Music A Book Of Quatations

What is music? God's best gift to man, as Walter Savage Landor said? The moonlight in the gloomy night of life, as Jean Paul Richter put it? Or perhaps—as Carl Maria von Weber and Henry Wadsworth Longfellow agree —the universal language of mankind? Whatever it is, it certainly hath charms to soothe the savage breast, as William Congreve famously observed. And it expresses that which cannot be said and on which it is impossible to be silent (Victor Hugo). These and more than 400 other striking quotes about music, from musicians, authors, poets, historical figures, and other celebrities, fill the pages of this entertaining, practical little book. Not all are on the seriousside: many are deliciously witty: Her singing was mutiny on the high C's (Hedda Hopper): I can hold a note as long as the Chase National Bank (Ethel Merman): Donny Osmond has van Gogh's ear for music (Orson Welles). The quotations are arranged alphabetically according to author, from Fred Allen (When Jack Benny plays the violin, it sounds as if the strings are still back in the cat) to Florian Zabach (A musical talent is like having six fingers on one hand. You're born with it, you're different because of it, you can't do a thing about it except put it to use). They constitute a collection that will not only be an indispensable reference for public speakers but will also delight general readers—especially music lovers—with its enduring wisdom and humor.
