NOISE MUSIC und die Tradition künstlerischer Avantgarden des 20. Jhdts: Das einleitende Kapitel beginnt mit einem kulturhistorischen Überblick über die Herausbildung geräuschhafter Musik im 20. Jahrhundert. Das nächste Kapitel befasst sich mit dem primären Ort moderner Musikproduktion- der Stadt. Der urbane Raum wird dabei sowohl als reicher Pool außermusikalischer Klänge diskutiert, als auch als Produktions- und Konsumstätte von Musik verstanden. Im Kontext der Club Culture wird besonders auf die Etablierung des turntablism und der DJ culture eingegangen. Anhand dieser Subkultur wird ein neuer, postmoderner Zugang zu hochkulturellen Technologien beschrieben, der auch in der glitch und noise music aufgenommen werden wird. Im vierten Kapitel wird die technische Entwicklung, vom frühen 20. Jahrhundert bis zur Einführung digitaler Medien, und deren Auswirkungen auf den kreativen Schaffensprozess von Musik nachgezeichnet. Unter besonderer Berücksichtigung ökonomischer Verfügbarkeit hochkultureller Technologien und dem Entstehen neuer Distributionswege, wird die gegenwärtige Musikproduktion beleuchtet. Das fünfte Kapitel ist medientheoretischen Überlegungen und den Auswirkungen des mediatisierten Alltags auf den Produktions- und Rezeptionsprozess von Musik gewidmet. Im sechsten Kapitel werden die unterschiedlichen Stile einer post- digital music erläutert (cracked media).

Debussy's sole completed opera was given its premiere at Paris' Opera Comique on April 30, 1902. It was the culmination of an eight-year effort on the composer's part. Though not an immediate sensation like Puccini's "Madame Butterfly" two years later in Milan, the five-act lyric drama, after the identically titled play by Maeterlinck, enjoyed a successful run in the first two decades of the 20th century. This new vocal score is a digitally-enhanced reprint of the one issued in Paris by A. Durand et Fils in 1907, with an English translation of the text by Harry Grafton Chapman appearing beneath the original French. Now available in a convenient, readable A4 format at an affordable price. In contrast to so many of the on-demand scores now available, this one comes with all the pages and the images have been thoroughly checked to make sure it is actually readable. As with all PLP scores a percentage of each sale is donated to the amazing online archive of free music scores and recordings, IMSLP - Petrucci Music Library. Wikipedia article IMSLP page

The Oxford Handbook of Sound and Image in Western Art is the first book to examine, under one umbrella, different kinds of analogies, mutual influences, integrations and collaborations of audio and visual in different art forms: painting, sculpture, installation, architecture, performance art, animation, film, video art, visual music, multimedia, experimental music, sound art, opera, theatre and dance. Sitting at the cutting edge of the field of music andvisual arts, the book offers a unique, at times controversial view of this rapidly evolving area of study.The book is organized around three core thematic sections. The first, Sights & Sounds, concentrates on interaction between the experience of seeing and the experience of hearing. Sound, Space & Matter expands the idea of music to include environmental sounds, vibrating frequencies, homemade instruments, linguistic utterances, noise and silence. Architecture, likewise, faces a similar discourse that examines non-material spaces, environments, human habitats, performances, destruction andvoid. Enhanced by advanced digital technologies, this aesthetic shift opened the door for endless experiments, which give a new context to theoretical issues such as medium, matter and process in creating and perceiving art. In the third section, Performance, Performativity & Text, music as a performingart provides the point of departure. The new light shed by modernism and the avant-garde on the performative aspect of music have led it - together with sound and text - to become active in new ways in contemporary dance, theatre and the visual arts.The chapters in the handbook make and prove their arguments using case studies in contemporary art, music, and sound as illustrations, building upon exsiting thought as a foundation for discussion. Artists, curators, students and scholars will find here a panoramic view of cutting-edge discourse in the field, by an international roster of scholars and practitioners.

Newly edited and engraved study score for the original 1877 version of Tchaikovsky's first ballet masterpiece. Includes Preface, Synopsis, and Cast of Characters. This is the complete orchestral score, not a piano reduction, based upon the composer's autograph, the first edition issued by P. Jurgenson, and the score from Tchaikovsky's complete works. Swan Lake, Tchaikovsky's first venture into ballet, was only moderately successful in its first production at Moscow's Bolshoi Theatre. Choreographer Julius Reissinger's dances were not well received, and those of his successor Joseph Peter Hansen fared no better. The ballet was propelled into the permanent repertoire only after a brilliant revival mounted by Marius Petipa and Lev Ivanov in St. Petersburg more than a year after Tchaikovsky's death from cholera. A new, reasonably priced study score that will be invaluable to students, conductors, music lovers and ballet aficionados everywhere.Originally issued in 2008 by the now-defunct American publisher E.F. Kalmus, the only authorized publisher of the Simpson edition is now Serenissima Music, who also offers the large conductor score (10 x 13 inches, 2 volumes) and orchestra parts (9.5 x 12.5 inches).
