Book Description
Excerpt from A Handbook of the Musical Instrument Collection of the Commercial Museum PhiladelphiaIn my travels throughout the exotic orient, the enchanting Pacific islands and mysterious Africa I was often deeply moved by the strangely exciting musical cultures I encountered. Fin. Java and Bali there was the majestic and ecstatic ringing of the'5 ceremonial gongs; in a Tibetan monastery there was the noble intoning of the lamaist monks playing the long copper trtimpets; in Africa and Haiti4 - the frenzied vitality of the combat of rhythms of war drums. Often I have Wished that lovers of great symphonic music in our country could hear these wonderful sounds and see the magnificent instruments which made them. Now, thanks to the exhibit and to the handbook by Dr. Barone, it will be possible for many more of us to become familiar with the musical instruments and cultures of other lands.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
Leopold Stokowski began his career in England as an organist and choirmaster. This first major study of Stokowski's early years covers his education at the Royal College of Music, his church posts in London, and his three years spent as director of music at New York's prestigious St. Bartholomew's Church. An examination of the programs of his organ recitals (played on the third largest organ in America), a list of his repertoire, facsimiles of his original choral works, an analysis of his Aeolian player organ roll of Bach's Passacaglia, and a detailed study of his famous orchestral transcriptions of Bach's organ works, reveals a new and unique insight into Stokowski's unparalleled career in music.
