Excerpt: Charles Edward Ives (October 20, 1874 May 19, 1954) was an American modernist composer. He is widely regarded as one of the first American composers of international significance. Ives' music was largely ignored during his life, and many of his works went unperformed for many years. Over time, Ives came to be regarded as an "American Original". Ives combined the American popular and church-music traditions of his youth with European art music, and was among the first composers to engage in a systematic program of experimental music, with musical techniques including polytonality, polyrhythm, tone clusters, aleatoric elements, and ...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=66283 ...

Extrait : La musique minimaliste est un courant de musique contemporaine apparu dans les années 1960 aux États-Unis, qui représente une part importante de la musique classique de ce pays. En France, le courant est fréquemment appelé musique répétitive, et désigne plus spécifiquement l'ensemble des œuvres utilisant la répétition comme technique de composition. Les principaux compositeurs de musique minimaliste sont La Monte Young, Terry Riley, Steve Reich, Philip Glass, et John Adams. L'œuvre considérée comme fondatrice du minimalisme est In C de Terry Riley, composée en 1964. La musique minimaliste est parfois désignée sous l'étiquette plus large de musique postmoderne. Plus qu'un retour à la tonalité, le courant est surtout caractérisé par l'utilisation d'une pulsation régulière et la répétition de courts motifs évoluant lentement. Au-delà d'un mouvement de réaction au sérialisme, alors dominant en Europe, la musique minimaliste marque l'émergence d'une musique américaine novatrice, déliée de ses attaches européennes. Les compositeurs minimalistes ont aussi opéré un retour vers plus d'émotivité musicale, au lieu de l'approche essentiellement intellectuelle de la musique sérielle, ou l'appro...http://booksllc.net/?l=fr ...

Product Description
Born of necessity in 1961, fathered by George Maciunas and mothered by the rejection of high art and commercial values, the anti-art Fluxus movement is here recorded with encyclopedic thoroughness. With historical essays by Fluxus artists including George Brecht, Robert Filliou, Dick Higgins, Allan Kaprow, Per Kirkeby, Yoko Ono, Nam June Paik, and Maciunas, and critical passages by Arthur Danto, Joan Rothfuss, and others, this book questions what it asks, in true Fluxus fashion.

Edited by Jon Hendricks.
Essays by Arthur Danto, René Block, Tobias Berger, Ina Blom, Thomas Kellein, Joan Rothfuss and Harry Ruhé.

Product Description
This study explores the minimalist style of music. It details its beginnings in the music of Terry Riley and La Monte Young, focuses on its major exponents, Steve Reich and Philip Glass, and reviews its broader influences both in the USA, with the work of John Adams and Meredith Monk, and in Europe, with the work of Michael Nyman, Louis Andriessen and Arvo Part. Musical discussion is contextualized within the lives and development of each major artist. This text is part of the 20th-century composers series, examining composers in a biographical context, and offering a comprehensive study of key figures in the creation of 20th-century music. None of the books in the series presume a knowledge of specialized terms or musical notation. Each book in the series features a list of works, a bibliography, and a discography. ... Read more
