Chapters: Aaron Copland. Source: Wikipedia. Pages: 341. Not illustrated. Free updates online. Purchase includes a free trial membership in the publisher's book club where you can select from more than a million books without charge. Excerpt: Aaron Copland (November 14, 1900 December 2, 1990) was an American nationalist composer of concert and film music, as well as an accomplished pianist. Instrumental in forging a distinctly American style of composition, he was widely known as "the dean of American composers". Copland's music achieved a balance between modern music and American folk styles. The open, slowly changing harmonies of many of his works are said to evoke the very vast American landscape. He also incorporated percussive orchestration, changing meter, polyrhythms, polychords, and tone rows in a broad range of works for concert hall, theater, ballet, and films. Aside from composing, Copland was a teacher, lecturer, critic, writer, and conductor (generally, but not always, of his own works). Aaron Copland School of Music, Queens College (part of the City University of New York)Aaron Copland was born in Brooklyn of Lithuanian Jewish descent, the last of five children. Before emigrating from Scotland to the United States, Copland's father, Harris Morris Copland, Anglicized his surname "Kaplan" to "Copland". Throughout his childhood, Copland and his family lived above his parents' Brooklyn shop (a neighborhood Macy's), on the corner of Dean Street and Washington Avenue and most of the children helped out in the store. His father was a staunch Democrat. The family members were active in Congregation Baith Israel Anshei Emes, where Aaron celebrated his Bar Mitzvah. Not especially athletic, the sensitive young man became an avid reader and often read Horatio Alger stories on his front steps. Copland's father had no musical interest at all but his mother, Sarah Mittenthal Copland, sang and played the piano, and arranged for ...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=51298 ... Read more

Non illustré. Mises à jour gratuites en ligne. Extrait : Goffredo Petrassi (Zagarolo, Province de Rome, 16 juillet 1904 - Rome, 3 mars 2003) est un compositeur italien. Il est diplômé du Conservatoire de Rome, au début des années 30, en composition et orgue. Avec Partita per orchestra en 1932 - considérée comme repère de sa période néoclassique - Petrassi obtient la renommée internationale, en gagnant l'année suivante le premier prix au festival de musique contemporaine du Syndicat national des musiciens. Au milieu des années 30, démarre la phase du baroque romain, lorsque Petrassi, au moment des innovations de Stravinski, Hindemith, Malipiero et Casella, s'intéresse à la musique du siècle et du siècle, avec des œuvres fortement influencées par l'art baroque romain, comme Salmo IX, Magnificat et Quatre Hymnes sacrés. Dans cette perspective on peut inscrire l'utilisation du clavecin, instrument auquel Petrassi, comme plusieurs autres compositeurs contemporains, a donné une nouvelle vie après l'oubli souffert pendant le siècle. Ensuite, à partir du Chœur de morts composé au début de la guerre sur une poésie de Giacomo Leopardi et le Dialogue de Federico Ruysch, l'attitude de Petrassi se fait plus libre et autonome en s'approchant au filon expressionniste et atonal. Ce parcours culmine dans la série des huit Concertos pour orchestre composés sur une période de quarante ans, de 1934 à 1972, dans lesquels on observe le passage graduel des influences initiales de Stravinski à...http://booksllc.net/?l=fr ...
