Member IOBA offering professional service since1999.; B&W Photographs; 8vo 8" - 9" tall; 463 pp; Hailed as important, entertaining, and revealing, <I>Copland: Since 1943</I> is composer Aaron Copland's irresistible account of the latter half of his career--a career that brought us such pioneering works as <I>Appalachian Spring</I> and <I>Lincoln Portrait</I>, the movie scores for <I>Of Mice and Men</I> and <I>Our Town</I>, and numerous other orchestral and chamber works. It tells the story of how a self-described "brash young man from Brooklyn" went on to become one of the founding fathers of "serious" American music. Featuring cameos by luminaries such as Leonard Bernstein, Martha Graham, Agnes de Mille, Benny Goodman, and other peers of Aaron Copland during this explosively creative period, <I>Copland: Since 1943</I> is an invaluable memoir that charts the crescendo of one of the most accomplished careers in the modern canon. . more information

Phaidon Press; London, United Kingdom. Very Good+; First Edition; Softcover; Slight typical edge rub. Crisp copy, . clean text.. 1996. First Printing. 20th-Century Composers; B&W Photographs; 8vo 8" - 9" tall; 240 pp; This text contains four biographical portraits of leading Polish composers of the 20th century - Andrzej Panufnik (1914-91), Witold Lutoslawski (1913-94), Krzystof Penderecki (b.1933) and Henryk Gorecki (b.1933) - with contextual considerations of their work. Each composer has a different creative approach despite a common national background. Key elements in that background are Poland's folk and art music; the Roman Catholic tradition; and the sequence of political regimes - Nazi, Communist and post-Communist - by which all were affected. For Penderecki and Gorecki (being of a younger generation) the music of Panufnik and Lutoslawski is also part of their shared experience. Against the background of the varied musical styles practised in the latter half of the 20th century - serialism and its clever incidental results, and on the other, the use of chance procedures, the "new simplicity" and minimalism - the author dramatizes the position of these four composers, showing how each rises above the musical movements with which they are habitually linked. Their individual lives and careers are also compared and contrasted in a series of "interfaces", and show their contribution to the revival of modern Polish music. 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. . more information
