For the music lover in all of us

After reading this kindle edition I came away from it with a new sense of the genre itself. sometimes called historical musicology, is the highly diverse subfield of the broader discipline of musicology that studies music from a historical viewpoint. In theory, "music history" could refer to the study of the history of any type or genre of music (e.g., the history of Indian music or the history of rock). In practice, these research topics are often categorized as part of ethnomusicology or cultural studies, whether or not they are ethnographically based. The terms "music history" and "historical musicology" usually refer to the history of the notated music of Western elites, sometimes called "art music" (by analogy to art history, which tends to focus on elite art). I was also fascinated by the stories of Chopin, Beethoven, and Bach. This was a fascinating read and I recommend it to anyone who enjoys all genres of music

Entertaining Compact Overview

Review: MUSIC HISTORY

This book presents a compact overview of a subject that is an integral component of the human experience. Following an introduction, the author discusses background and history of many musical types. Readers will have a background from which to further study these topics for themselves.

A fun and interesting book!

If youâre interested in musicâand who isnât?âyou are bound to enjoy reading this book. Unlike most books about music history, which cover the history of one genre or type of music, this book covers the history of music from pre-historic times right up until the present day. Also, it includes a chapter on folk music from around the world, so it is not just limited to Western music. It is fun to read and even includes quizzes at the end of the chapters you can use to test your knowledge of what you just read. All in all you will find Music History an interesting way to pass an afternoon or an evening!

An awesome book

I love music and music is one part of my life and now I am so happy because I know the history behind music. The book is very interesting with quiz. I learnt many facts about music instruments in various countries. I think it is one of the best written book that I have read so far from the amazon.

I will definitely recommend this book to my friends because I found this book is very informative.

Well-written and accessible, this history of music will delight those familiar with the topic and those who are picking it up for the first time. I especially loved the deep, thoughtful discussion of ancient music, which isn't so often discussed, but is so important to how we understand our ancestors. I absolutely recommend this book to anyone to believes that music is an important part of who we are.

Titre: Rendre l'audio visible (L'Air du son 8)

Narrateur: Andréane Meslard, Salomé Kiner, Aurélie Charon

Format: Original Recording

Durée: 34 mins

Langue: Français

Date de publication: 10-24-17

Éditeur: Binge Audio

Genres: Arts & Entertainment, Music

Résumé de l'éditeur:

Par nature, le son est invisible. Il peut être aigu, grave, fort ou perçant, mais nos yeux ne peuvent pas le percevoir. Les seuls qui semblent avoir tenté de représenter le son, ce sont les artistes, qui créent des visualisations de l'audio, ou se reposent sur le son pour leurs œuvres. Mais comment faire de l'art avec l'invisible ? Comment restituer des notes, du bruit ou des mots, à portée de nos yeux ?

Pour tenter de répondre à ces questions, Pascale Cassagnau, responsable des collections audiovisuelles et nouveaux médias au Centre National des Arts Plastiques, et co-commissaire de l'exposition"Le son entre", jusqu'au 31 décembre 2017 au FRAC de Dunkerque, est notre invitée.

Animé par Andréane Meslard, avec Sophie Massieu.

Title: Language of the Spirit

Subtitle: An Introduction to Classical Music

Author: Jan Swafford

Narrator: Tom Perkins

Format: Unabridged

Length: 9 hrs and 46 mins

Language: English

Release date: 09-26-17

Publisher: Tantor Audio

Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 3 votes

Genres: Arts & Entertainment, Music

Publisher's Summary:

For many of us, classical music is something serious - something we study in school, something played by cultivated musicians at fancy gatherings.

In Language of the Spirit, renowned music scholar Jan Swafford argues that we have it all wrong: classical music has something for everyone and is accessible to all. Ranging from Gregorian chant to Handel's Messiah, from Vivaldi's The Four Seasons to the postmodern work of Philip Glass, Swafford is an affable and expert guide to the genre. He traces the history of Western music, introduces listeners to the most important composers and compositions, and explains the underlying structure and logic of their music.

Language of the Spirit is essential listening for anyone who has ever wished to know more about this sublime art.

Critic Reviews:

"Language of the Spirit includes an array of unpretentious, charming anecdotes, stories once universally known but (Mr. Swafford suspects) now need retelling. His book is perfect for people who are curious about classical music but feel somewhat intimidated by it." (Wall Street Journal)

Members Reviews:

Perfect for a classical music neophyte

I loved reading this book while listening to its recommended pieces on Prime Music, from madrigals to modern classical composers.

Superb!

This is a wonderful book about classical music! It is better than wonderful. Disclosure: Jan Swafford is a friend of mine from the early 1970s. Back when he was teaching high school music, he developed a reputation for being a great writer. Not just good, but great. His career became teaching music at the college level (Harvard undergrad, Yale PhD), composing music, and writing. He has written biographies of Charles Ives, Brahms, and Beethoven, all well received, as well as a guide to classical music. But first and foremost he has taught music for nearly 40 years. This book is a highly readable, brief history of classical music. It gives short and fascinating biographies of the major composers from each each era, and a listening guide to selected pieces from each composer. Even while not listening to the music, those guides are good reading. I suspect even serious, well-read music aficionados will enjoy this fast read. For those of us who like to casually listen to the classics, but know little about the music or composers, it is a real treat. This book would be a great way to begin a study of the classics at home, which is what I plan to do. Jan's enthusiasm is contagious. Highly recommended.

Language of the Spirit is a succinct but successful survey of Western Music's greatest composers and works of genius

Language of the Spirit is a short and breezy survey of the Western musical tradition from earliest times to the present. The author is noted music teacher, author and guide to all things classical the inimitable Jan Swafford. I previously enjoyed his long and insightful works on Brahms and Beethoven as well as his Vintage Guide to Classical Music.

The book gives thumbnail biographies of composers from Bach to today. Each major period of music is surveyed from Baroque to Classical, Romantic to atonality in the twentieth century. Short but vivid sketches are given of composers in each era, a reason for their importance and a brief commentary on some of their major works.

Title: Goodnight, L.A.

Subtitle: Untold Tales from Inside Classic Rocks Legendary Recording Studios

Author: Kent Hartman

Narrator: Dan John Miller

Format: Unabridged

Length: 7 hrs and 16 mins

Language: English

Release date: 09-19-17

Publisher: Tantor Audio

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 5 votes

Genres: Arts & Entertainment, Music

Publisher's Summary:

From behind the walls of a handful of well-hidden, unlikely recording studios in the Los Angeles area, legends-in-waiting created masterpiece albums. It was a time of astonishing creativity and unprecedented fame and fortune. It was also a time of unfettered excess that threatened to unravel everything along the way.

With access that only a longtime music business insider can provide, Kent Hartman packs Goodnight, L.A. with never-before-told stories about the most prolific time and iconic place in rock 'n' roll history. He brings the stories to life through new in-depth interviews with classic rock artists and famous producers. What Hartman's The Wrecking Crew was to pop singles, AM radio, and the '60s, Goodnight, L.A. is to album cuts, FM radio, and the high-flying, hard-rocking '70s and '80s.

Members Reviews:

Read it.

Really good. Interesting stories you'll tell your friends about over beers, and annoy them cause you just keep going because there are so many good stories.

A MUST READ for any rock n' roll fan

I read everything I can about the history of rock n' roll, and Hartman's inside stories are unmatched. He's got the goods. He gets inside the studios, has true tales about the stars, but most important, he has the insider take from and about the lesser-known music makers. In his bestselling Wrecking Crew, the crew was known by some but not all; in Goodnight LA, he takes it up a sweet notch by weaving the history rock using the twin threads of Waddy Wachtel and producer Keith Olson - the guy behind Fleetwood Mac, early (great) Chicago, early (great!) Loggins and Messina, the Dead's best LP, and more more more. Olsen was American's George Martin yet with a broader range of artists. Please note that this is a loving tribute with only a few punches thrown; it's not a mean book. If you love rock and its creators, Goodnight LA is a must. Hartman also has a flowing writing style that is a pleasure to experience, while you relive the times and the changes. Your musical mind will be expanded, happily and with a ton of aha moments.

A must for any music history reference library

Goodnight, L.A., by Kent Hartman, is an excellent book for those who are into the recording of music of the late 1960s through the early 1980s in LA. This book centers on the studios, the producers, and their interaction with the musical artists themselves to produce the hits that still resonate with us.

The episodic writing is distracting, but the material presented is fascinating. This book is a worthy sequel to Hartman'sThe Wrecking Crew: The Inside Story of Rock and Roll's Best-Kept SecretRecommended for serious music fans.

Perfect holiday gift for many on my list...

Just like with Hartmanâs first book The Wrecking Crew, I gained a deeper appreciation and fascination of the music and the artists he writes aboutâbut this time covering music of the 70s and early 80s. The music this book explores has stood the test of time, so it was worth it to hear the behind-the-scenes stories about the artists, the creative tension, the production of and the drama that created the music we know. Perfect perfect PERFECT holiday or birthday gift for some music friends of mine.

This seems to be a great book for beginners

This seems to be a great book for beginners. However, beware if you are thinking of ordering the kindle edition it is so small that you can't read it. I can only enlarge it enough to see and read it on my iPad. I will be ordering the paper back. Only gave it a 3 because of the Kindle quality being unreadable on all but one of my devices. I will do an update when I receive the actual book.

Five Stars

Nice short lessons with a lot of diagrams. Very easy to follow.
