Book Description
French poet Paul Verlaine, a major representative of the Symbolist Movement during the latter half of the nineteenth century, was one of the most gifted and prolific poets of his time. Norman Shapiro's superb translations display Verlaine's ability to transform into timeless verse the essence of everyday life and make evident the reasons for his renown in France and throughout the Western world. "Shapiro's skillfully rhymed formal translations are outstanding." —St. Louis Post-Dispatch "Best Book of 1999" "Paul Verlaine's rich, stylized, widely-variable oeuvre can now be traced through his thirty years of published volumes, from 1866 to 1896, in a set of luminous new translations by Norman Shapiro. . . . [His] unique translations of this whimsical, agonized music are more than adequate to bring the multifarious Verlaine to a new generation of English speakers." —Genevieve Abravanel, Harvard Review "Shapiro demonstrates his phenomenal ability to find new rhymes and always follows Verlaine's rhyme schemes." —Carrol F. Coates, ATA Chronicle

Claude Debussy's Clair de Lune
Author: Gurminder Kaur Bhogal
Publisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 0190696095
Category : Music
Languages : en
Pages : 169
Book Description
Debussy himself had little regard for Clair de Lune, and scholars have thus far followed suit--until now. Claude Debussy's Clair de Lune is the first book wholly dedicated to an historical, cultural, and analytical investigation of the French composer's famous composition for piano. Author Gurminder Kaur Bhogal explores why, over any other piece in Debussy's repertoire for piano, Clair de Lune achieved stardom in the decades following the composer's death, and how, as the third movement of the Suite Bergamasque, it managed to almost fully eclipse the other movements. Drawing on a broad range of excerpts from classical and popular music, commercials, film, and video games, Bhogal examines the various ways in which listeners have engaged with the piece. She also places it in its proper artistic context, through analysis alongside the poetry of Paul Verlaine and the paintings of Jean-Antoine Watteau. A wide range of aural, visual, and video examples energize the narrative, and demonstrate how Clair de Lune has come to achieve an iconic status within and beyond Debussy's oeuvre.

Répertoire de la musique pour harpe publiée du XVIIe au début du XIXe siècle
Author: Catherine Michel
Publisher: Klincksieck
ISBN:
Category : Music
Languages : fr
Pages : 296
Book Description
Cette bibliographie a pour but de suggerer aux harpistes un elargissement de leur repertoire et de leur indiquer dans quelles bibliotheques ils peuvent le decouvrir. Elle n'a aucune pretention scientifique, ayant ete redigee d'apres des descriptions existantes et non en recourant aux originaux. Les deux sources principales sont le Catalogue de la musique imprimee avant 1800 dans les bibliotheques publiques de Paris (B.N., 1981) et le RISM. On a cependant cherche a completer les informations donnees par celui-ci en ajoutant les acquisitions recentes et surtout en datant les editions. Comme dans le RISM la date de 1800 est ici traitee avec beaucoup de souplesse ou - plus exactement - elle est souvent depassee jusqu'a la premiere decennie du XIXe siecle. Le repertoire que l'on trouvera ici couvre trois categories : - la musique pour harpe seule, souvent praticable aussi pour le pianoforte, ou avec accompagnement ad libitum - la musique vocale accompagnee par la harpe (ou le pianoforte) - la musique de chambre dans laquelle intervient la harpe. La majeure partie de ce repertoire a ete publiee entre 1770 et environ 1820 a Paris et a Londres, mais l'essentiel de la musique a caractere soliste est francais. On sait que pour les periodes precedentes il s'agit essentiellement d'un repertoire non specifique, destine a divers instruments ad libitum, dont la harpe. On a repris les sigles du RISM, dont la liste est fournie au debut du volume, pour indiquer les bibliotheques qui conservent des exemplaires de ces editions. Lorsqu'aucune indication n'est donnee derriere un sigle, l'exemplaire est en principe complet. Dans le cas contraire, la ou les parties conservees sont mentionnees.
