Product Description
Here is one of the most improbable lives of the 20th century: a blind and homeless man who became a famous eccentric in New York, and who rose to prominence as an internationally respected music presence.

Born Louis Thomas Hardin in 1916, Moondog first made an impression in the late '40s when his music was played by the New York Philharmonic at Carnegie Hall. His unique, melodic compositions were released on the Prestige jazz label. In the late '60s the Viking-garbed Moondog was a pop music sensation on Columbia Records. The last decades of his life saw his evolution as a master composer for European orchestras.

Moondog's compositional style inspired the work of his former roommate, Philip Glass, who provides the foreword. A CD compilation with a variety of Moondog compositions will be bound into the book. ... Read more

All Is Loneliness
Louis Thomas 'Moondog' Hardin (1916-1999) was the classic iconoclast, performing at the corner of West 54th Street and Sixth Avenue in Manhattan for over 30 years (1943-1974) wearing a self-made Viking costume, a horned helmet and a 7 foot spear.He was tall, blind, and sported a mid-chest white beard.He was not, as popularly described however, homeless or destitute.

We learn, from Robert Scotto's 2007 authorized biography of Moondog, that Louis in fact owned property in upstate New York, to which he retreated when time & money allowed.He was married once, had two daughters by different women, and a string of girlfriends.He took the bus everywhere he went (hitchhiking being too dangerous), and rented apartments in New York throughout most of his life.Though famously 'difficult' (he was anti-Semite, antimiscegenation, anti-Federal Reserve and fiercely independent), he befriended literati and plebs alike, rich and poor, famous and anonymous.He counted among his friends Philip Glass, Steve Reich, Leonard Bernstein, Arturo Toscanini, Charlie Parker, Andy Warhol, Pete Seeger, Marlon Brando, Muhammad Ali and many others.He even sued disk jockey Alan Freed over his use of the Moondog name, and won.

Scotto reports on Hardin's upbringing as the neglected child of an itinerant preacher, his many moves and liaisons, and his iconclastic musical and extra-musical ideas.This reporting must not have come easy, since the "Viking of 6th Avenue" rarely documented anything and was by nature secretive and distrustful.Many gaps are delineated but left unexplained, and certain aspects of his life are clearly downplayed or whitewashed ("authorized" by whom one wonders...) but in general this first biography of Hardin must stand as a valiant effort.Scotto alas is not the most accomplished of writers: he frequently constructs long sentences with unclear meanings, and is often hampered by poor word choices.Consider this description of the obituaries following the musician's death: "These are but a handful of the scores that flooded the presses and the Internet."

The book comes with a 28-track CD of Moondog's music (sold separately under the same name) for the uninitiated.

Whether Moondog will be remembered as a street-performing novelty act or as a serious (under-recognized) composer alongside Ives, Ruggles, Cage, Partch and Nancarrow will probably depend on what happens to the hundreds of so-far unperformed Moondog manuscripts left behind -- many dauntingly large in scale and documented only in Louis's idiosyncratic Braille scores.

Great package deal and interesting biography
I had to learn more about Moondog.I enjoy Moondog's music: he reminds me of Philip Glass and those who tend to the fringes of American society.When I found out that the man lived on the streets for years, I was compelled to look into this man's life.Scotto, a professor in upstate New York, has delivered a meticulously researched biography.

Moondog's life is documented in great detail, from start to finish.Indeed, I was often a bit bogged down by the details of his boyhood days in Wyoming, or the myriad details of Moondog's poems (madrigals).I began to pick up the book with less enthusiasm, as I tired of minutia, and longed for more of Scotto's insights into the character, social context, and direction of Moondog.Still, I leave the book with an excellent cd in my collection and a sense of Moondog: a difficult, sometimes brilliant, sometimes hare-brained, musician.I had my issues with the length and style of the biography, but I wholeheartedly commend Scotto for leaving an impressive record of a significant figure in American music.

fun facts to know and tell
If you want to know about Moondog's life, this is what you'll have to buy, so there's no use nitpicking: isn't it nice to learn that when Moondog sued Alan Freed, he called Arturo Toscanini as a character witness?This isn't an especially well-written book; it's stilted and repetitive, but the author is a dogged researcher.By necessity, he has to rely on Moondog's own memoir (in verse) for details of his early life. Because it's an authorized biography, it doesn't ask any hard questions about the quality of Moondog's music or of his mental health.However, it comes with a CD of rare recordings, including madrigals sung by Moondog, Philip Glass and Stephen Reich.The CD alone is worth the price of the book.

MOONDOG
What makes a musical genius? Is it the quality of their music, or their role in history, or the hindsight of critical analysis? To some composers, it is the combination of a unique story, a unique mode of composing or a unique way of looking at the world. This was the case with Louis Hardin aka Moondog who has, at last, had a gentle and rewarding biography written by Robert Scotto. It is a remarkable story in the American mythology that began in Wisconsin and a childhood growing up in Wyoming with his preacher father. Louis' early musical education was with the music teachers of the state but he hardly got a pass grade school in his education. As the years went by he drifted to New York where he spent 25 years begging on street corners. During this time he composed several major works and many many epigraphs - short songs that captured the passer by with their imaginative nature. As time went on he almost inadvertently became the darling of the avant garde and was renowned for his songs and drumming. He was befriended by Philip Glass and Steve Reich (some of their collaborations are heard on the extra CD) but after a failed marriage he remained a shadowy figure in the American Classical music world. By luck he managed to move to Germany in 1974 where he achieved a cult status among musicians. It seems so sad that it has taken such a long time to recognise this sensitive musician who, at his death had composed hundreds of songs, invented (a la Harry Partch) new instruments and had almost completed some 200 Symphonies.. Scotto is to be praised for trying to give the 21st century the dream of an almost forgotten genius of the 20th

Finally a full documentation!
Moondog (aka Louis Hardin, 1916-1999), the great American original, blind street musician, brilliant composer, gentle conversationalist, writer of wise/witty aphorisms, friend of the great and near-great -- not to mention of the "common man" -- who spent the latter part of his life in Europe (where recognition was faster in coming), at long last has his life story in print.Robert Scotto, a professor at Baruch College of C.U.N.Y., spent many years researching, interviewing his subject, as well as many of his colleagues and friends, and produced this well-written, entertaining and wise story of the life of the eccentric artist who was both personally and musically one of a kind!Scotto balances the most unusual story with perceptive yet readily accessible discussion of the wide span of Moondog's music, ranging from drum solos, through madrigals, keyboard and chamber music, to symphonic essays for large orchestra, and enhances it with a selection of intriguing photographs, an excellent
"sampler" CD of compositions spanning a half century of creativity from shortly after Moondog's arrival in New York in the 1940s to his last years in the 1990s in Germany, and a foreword by Phillip Glass (a master of contemporary musical "minimalism").Full disclosure: as a friend of Moondog's and a contributor to the CD, this reviewer's name appears in the book.Based on its merits, however -- and those of its unique and lovable subject -- I'm confident that there will be other reviewers, with no axe at all to grind, whose comments will affirm my positive view and appreciation of this long-awaited, substantial and revealing biography.

Excerpt: Koyaanisqatsi (English pronunciation: ), also known as Koyaanisqatsi: Life out of Balance, is a 1982 film directed by Godfrey Reggio with music composed by Philip Glass and cinematography by Ron Fricke. The film consists primarily of slow motion and time-lapse photography of cities and many natural landscapes across the United States. The visual tone poem contains neither dialogue nor a vocalized narration: its tone is set by the juxtaposition of images and music. Reggio explains the lack of dialog by stating "it's not for lack of love of the language that these films have no words. It's because, from my point of view, our language is in a state of vast humiliation. It no longer describes the world in which we live." In the Hopi language, the word Koyaanisqatsi means "crazy life, life in turmoil, life out of balance, life disintegrating, a state of life that calls for another way of living". The film is the first in the Qatsi trilogy of films: it is followed by Powaqqatsi (1988) and Naqoyqatsi (2002). The trilogy depicts different aspects of the relationship between humans, nature, and technology. Koyaanisqatsi is the best known of the trilogy and is considered a cult film. However, because of copyright issues, the film was out of print for most of the 1990s.. The film contains several cinematic sequences accompanied by recurring musical themes. The chapters on the Koyaanisqatsi DVD are separated and named by the titles...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=18932654 ... Read more

Commentary (music and lyrics not included).Chapters: Dracula, Notes on a Scandal, Passages, Cassandra's Dream. Source: Wikipedia. Pages: 20. 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: Dracula is a soundtrack performed by the Kronos Quartet, with music composed by Philip Glass, for the 1931 film Dracula. The movie (directed by Tod Browning and starring Béla Lugosi) could be shown to audiences both as a silent movie and as a talkie, though conversation was limited to basic narrative elements. Unusually, it did not have a specific score and only two pieces of music on its soundtrack: Tchaikovsky's Swan Lake during the opening credits, and the overture of Wagner's Die Meistersinger von Nürnberg during a scene at an opera. Glass was commissioned to write the score by Universal Studios Home Entertainment, which released the movie with the Glass-soundtrack on VHS and DVD in 1999. According to Glass, the choice of chamber music played by a string quartet rather than an orchestral score followed from the movie's setting, "libraries and drawing rooms and gardens." Kronos and Glass (on piano) performed the score during viewings of the movie across the United States in 1999 and 2000 to promote the album. Other promotion efforts by Universal, which was trying to "reinvigorate and re-market" their Classical Monsters catalog, included discounts for buyers of multiple CDs, and a trailer for the movie on copies of the video release of The Mummy. Glass and the Quartet have collaborated on a number of albums. Kronos first recorded a Glass composition on the 1985 soundtrack Mishima: A Life in Four Chapters. In 1986, they contributed two tracks to his Songs from Liquid Days. In that same year they recorded a composition of his for their 1986 album Kronos Quartet, their first album on Nonesuch Records, which ...http://booksllc.net/?id=22777239 ... Read more

Non illustré. Mises à jour gratuites en ligne. Extrait : Steve Reich, né Stephen Michael Reich le 3 octobre 1936 à New York, est un musicien et compositeur américain. Il est considéré comme l'un des pionniers de la musique minimaliste, un courant de la musique contemporaine jouant un rôle central dans la musique classique des États-Unis. Pour caractériser son œuvre, et spécialement ses compositions de la période 1965-1976, il préfère utiliser l'expression « musique de phases » (traduite de l'américain Phasing), qui fait référence à son invention de la technique musicale du déphasage. À partir de 1976, il développe une écriture musicale basée sur le rythme et la pulsation avec l'une de ses œuvres les plus importantes, Music for 18 Musicians, qui marque le début de son large succès international. Dès lors reconnu comme un compositeur contemporain essentiel, il oriente son travail de composition autour de la mise en musique du discours, notamment dans des œuvres multimédia associant la vidéo créées en collaboration avec son épouse Beryl Korot. Bien qu'ayant joué un rôle central dans l'évolution de la musique contemporaine, et, par ses œuvres, influencé des artistes au-delà de son champ de création, comme en musique électronique et en danse contemporaine, Steve Reich reste toutefois un compositeur peu prolifique qui n'a écrit, durant l'ensemble de sa carrière, qu'une cinquantaine de pièces distinctes. Celles-ci lui ont cependant valu de nombreux prix et distinctions internationaux et font l'objet d'une très importante discographie.
