Kwakwaka'wakw welcome songs, an aria from Joseph Quesnel's 1808 opera Lucas et Cécile, rubbaboos (a combination of elements from First Peoples, French, and English music), the Tin Pan Alley hits of Shelton Brooks, and the contemporary work of Claude Vivier and Blue Rodeo all dance together in Canada's rich musical heritage. Elaine Keillor offers an unprecedented history of Canadian musical expressions and their relationship to Canada's great cultural and geographic diversity. A survey of "musics" in Canada - the country's multiplicity of musical genres and rich heritage - is complemented by forty-three vignettes highlighting topics such as Inuit throat games, the music of k.d. lang, and orchestras in Victoria. Music in Canada illuminates the past but also looks to the future to examine the context within which Canadian music began and continues to develop. A CD by the author of previously unrecorded Canadian music is included.

Dieses Buch gehört in erster Linie in den Zusammenhang der Musikgeschichte. Es gibt Antwort auf die Frage: Welche Bedeutung kommt Nannerl Mozart als Pianistin und Komponistin zu? Sie war eine der bedeutendsten Pianistinnen ihrer Zeit und hat auch selbst ein wenig komponiert. Wolfgang Amadé Mozart hat von Nannerls kompositorischen Fähigkeiten gern und häufig Gebrauch gemacht, zum Beispiel beim Harmonisieren einer Baßlinie. Zu Unrecht hat Nannerl lange Zeit zu sehr im Schatten ihres genialen Bruders gestanden. InhaltsverzeichnisInhaltsverzeichnisVerzeichnis der AbbildungenEinleitungDie ersten Re

Grounded in knowledge of thousands of programs, this book examines how musical life in London, Leipzig, Vienna, Boston, and other cities underwent a fundamental transformation in relationship with movements in European politics. William Weber traces how musical taste evolved in European concert programs from 1750 to 1870, as separate worlds arose around classical music and popular songs. In 1780 a typical program accommodated a variety of tastes through a patterned 'miscellany' of genres, held together by diplomatic musicians. This framework began weakening around 1800 as new kinds of music appeared, from string quartets to quadrilles to ballads, which could not easily coexist on the same programs. Utopian ideas and extravagant experiments influenced programming as ideological battles were fought over who should govern musical taste. More than a hundred illustrations or transcriptions of programs enable readers to follow Weber's analysis in detail.
