Par JONES STEPHEN. This is not just another book of Irish session tunes. It represents the relatively unknown repertoire of a single Irish traditional musician, Packie Manus Byrne of Donegal. There has been considerable interest in the music of Donegal over the past 10 years or so, especially with the rise of groups such as Altan. Packie Manus Byrne is a familiar name to traditional-music lovers in Ireland and the UK, where he enjoyed a successful career as a folk performer for more than 20 years. Almost all these tunes were being played in Packie's home area between 1925 and 1935 - the collection is thus something of a 'time capsule' with a unity of origin and style that sets it apart from other collections. The 85 genuine old traditional tunes are being made public for the first time. This unique collection, with all the background information and stories, gives the reader a real sense of the community out of which the music came and the characters who played it. Suitable for fiddle, tin whistle, flute and other traditional instruments. The CD includes 33 of the tunes performed by Jean Duval, Stephen Jones, Johanne St. Laurent, Lynda Dowker, and Reinhard Görner on a variety of instruments. / Niveau : Débutant à Intermédiaire / Celtic/Irish - Songbooks / Recueil / Tout Instrument

Par GULKE PETER. Peter Gülke widmet sich in 54 Essays dem großen Thema Tod und Abschied in der Musik, aber auch in der Literatur. Mit unnachahmlicher Sprachkraft präsentiert er Erkenntnisse, die von allgemeinem Interesse und bedeutend für den kulturellen Diskurs über Tod und Vergänglichkeit sind. Musik ist als diejenige unter den Künsten charakterisiert worden, die in besonderer Weise von Vergänglichkeit und Tod spricht. Wie aber tut sie das? Peter Gülke gibt darauf vielfältige Antworten. Aus dem Inhalt: - Wieviel Totentanz ist in überlang dahinwirbelnden Finali bei Mozart und Schubert enthalten? - Warum bekommen Tristan und Isolde nicht den Liebestod, den sie so überwältigend besungen haben? - Warum fällt Musik bei Nennung des Todes in einen harmonischen Abgrund? - Wie gehen Komponisten mit den Grausamkeiten der „Dies-irae'-Sequenz um? - Wie gedenken Komponisten verstorbener Kollegen? - Welche Erfahrungen liegen der Todesmystik in Bachs frühen Kantaten zugrunde? - Warum muten etliche Schlusspassagen bedeutender Romane wie insgeheim von Musik unterlegt an? Peter Gülke ist Träger des Ernst von Siemens Musikpreises und des Sigmund Freud-Preises für wissenschaftliche Prosa. Er ist Dirigent, Musikwissenschaftler und Musikschriftsteller./ Livre / Livre

Par USHER ALEX. Children's Song Favorites is a collection of 75 songs for children of all ages, most of them from the folk tradition. They have been collected over more than fifty years by a professional folk singer, who is also a mother and grandmother. Each song has the melody line, complete lyrics and suggested accompaniment chords for guitar or other instrument. Many of them are unusualand#151 - for example, all 13 verses of 'The Three Blind Mice,' 'Hail to Britannia' (a British nursery rhyme song), and for older children, 'Chopo, My Pony' (a cowboy song), 'Old Thompson's Mule' (of minstrel origin) and 'The Housewife's Lament.' Audience requests have persuaded the author to include two pieces she has writtenand#151 - 'The Doll Song' and 'The Solution to Pollution.' More than three-quarters of the songs involve audience participation, making this an ideal repertory resource for teachers and youth leaders. A few descriptive sentences, sometimes with suggestions for creative activity, precede each song. The songs are arranged alphabetically, and an extra table of contents lists the songs by categories: animals, cowboys and the West, creative activity, dance tunes, history, holidays, quiet time, and teaching. Although this book was designed primarily for children, the author regularly uses many of these songs with grown-up audiences. / Niveau : Débutant / Children's - Songbooks / Recueil / Tout Instrument

Ein musikalischer Präzedenzfall. Par MATTER MICHAEL. Heutzutage würde man wohl von einem „Hype' sprechen: Als der unbekannte dänische Komponist Niels W. Gade Anfang der 1840er-Jahre seine ersten symphonischen Werke in Leipzig präsentiert, brandet ihm unverhofft Enthusiasmus entgegen. Maßgeblichen Anteil daran hat die spezifische Wahrnehmung seiner Musik, der Robert Schumann einen „entschieden nordischen Charakter' attestiert. Doch welche musikalischen, ästhetischen und historischen Prämissen liegen dem Phänomen des sogenannten „nordischen Tons' zugrunde? Michael Matter analysiert eingehend die Frühwerke und deren Rezeption und stellt sie in den Kontext übergeordneter „Nördlichkeits'-Vorstellungen. Dabei bietet die Rekonstruktion der Denk- und Wahrnehmungsmechanismen eine Erklärungsgrundlage sowohl für den unvergleichlichen Erfolg Gades als auch für das allmähliche Vergessen des Komponisten./ Livre / Livre

Par GRIFFIN MICHAEL. When it comes to musical skill, why is it that some people achieve so much more than others? We are frequently led to believe this is because of a talent hardwired into their DNA. Now, music educator Michael Griffin dismisses that age-old notion in favour of another known factor: practice. His new book, Learning Strategies for Musical Success illustrates how the quantity and quality of practice is the greatest predictor of musical success so that aspiring musicians of all ages and abilities can best bring about expert performance. This inspiring, accessible guide will equip students, teachers, adult learners, and parents with the methods and mindset to improve the likelihood of learning music successfully. 'Deeply impressive - the breadth of research is fascinating!' - Victorian Music Teachers Association 'Terrific...eminently practical...excellent discussion...I came away inspired and excited.' - The Music Trust, Australia 'This book really does deliver' - American Music Teacher 'I can't think of any other book that draws on so many resources to create a new understanding of learning music. Every serious music student, music teacher, and parent of a music student will find important information in this book. Griffin gives clear examples of how concepts are applied that make for enjoyable reading. This book has a potential for making lifelong differences in the lives of music students, parents and teachers.” - Roy Ernst, PhD, LLD Professor Emeritus, Eastman School of Music of The University of Rochester 'A must buy for every music teacher and music student. Bravo on a most stimulating read. This draws together old wisdom and the latest research. I am re-reading this excellent book for the third time, highlighter pen in hand.' 5 stars (Amazon Rank) - William Bruce, Guildhall UK. 'A most stimulating read that has given me a great deal to think about.' - Nicholas Carpenter, Prebendal, UK. 'Fantastic book...simply brilliant!' - Ian Cooper, Norfolk Music Service, UK. 'A must read for all music educators. Michael Griffin has collected lessons from his own experience - which is extensive, and pertinent, recent research to provide a detailed overview of how we learn, and how students can be empowered and trained to become effective, efficient and independent learners. The book is well documented, making it convenient to go on to further reading about the topics of each chapter. The language is concise and easily understood, yet deeply practical and useful.' - 5 stars Robert Adams, Music Educator, New Haven, USA. 'Don't miss this opportunity!' - 5 stars Mary George, USA./ Méthode / Tout Instrument
