Verse and Voice in Byrd’s Song Collections of 1588 and 1589JEREMY L. SMITH

William Byrd (c. 1540-1623), England’s premier Renaissance composer, devoted considerable attention to the poetry and prose of his native language. This book, the first full-length study specifically devoted to Byrd’s

English-texted music, provides a close reading of all of the works he published in the late 1580s, constituting nearly half of his total song output. It delves into the musical, political, literary, and, specifically, the sequential qualities of Byrd’s 1588 and 1589 published collections as a whole, revealing, explaining, and interpreting an overall grand narrative.JEREMY L.

Italian Guitar Music of the Seventeenth CenturyBattuto and PizzicatoLEX EISENHARDT

In the seventeenth century, like today, the guitar was often used for chord strumming (“battuto” in Italian) in songs and popular dance genres, such as the ciaccona or sarabanda. In the golden age of the baroque guitar, Italy gave rise to a unique

solo repertoire, in which chord strumming and lute-like plucked (“pizzicato”) styles were mixed. This book explores this little-known repertoire, providing a historical background and examining particular performance issues. The book is accompanied by audio examples on a companion website.LEX EISENHARDT is one of Europe’s foremost experts on early guitar. He teaches both classical guitar and historical plucked instruments at the Conservatory of Amsterdam. He has produced a number of highly acclaimed CD recordings, and has given concerts and masterclasses in Europe, the United States, and Australia.$90.00/£60.00(s) December 2015978 1 58046 533 5123 line & 10 b/w illus.; 266pp, 9 x 6, HBEastman Studies in Music

The Lives of George Frideric HandelDAVID HUNTER To evaluate the familiar, even over-familiar, story of Handel’s life could be seen as a quixotic endeavour. How can there be anything new to say? This book seeks to distinguish fact from fiction, not only to produce a new biography but also to explore the concepts of biography and dissemination by using Handel’s life and lives as a case study. By examining the images of Handel to be found in biographies and music histories and by adding new factual information, David Hunter shows how events are manipulated into stories and tropes. Picking apart the writing of Handel’s biographers and other reporters, Hunter exposes the narrative underpinnings - the lies, confusions, presumptions, and conclusions, whether direct and inferred or assumed - to show how Handel’s ‘lives’ in biographies and histories have moulded our understanding of the musician, the man and the icon.DAVID HUNTER is Music Librarian at the University of Texas at Austin.$50.00/£30.00 November 2015978 1 78327 061 317 b/w illus.; 536pp, 23.4 x 15.6, HBMusic in Britain, 1600-2000

The Musica of Hermannus ContractusEd. and trans. by LEONARD ELLINWO OD Revised by JOHN L. SNYDER

The polymath monk Hermannus Contractus (1013-54) wrote on a wide range of subjects, including history, astronomy, and time-keeping devices. His music theory, which is concerned largely with the organization of pitch in Gregorian chant, forms a

nexus between Germanic species-based thought and then-new ideas from Italian music theory. Hermann also ties his theory to practice through citations of plainsong and recommended exercises. This revised edition of Leonard Ellinwood’s 1952 text and translation offers a new introduction, a critical edition of the Latin text with an annotated English translation on facing pages, appendices, and detailed indexes.JOHN L. SNYDER is Professor of Music Theory and Musicology at the University of Houston’s Moores School of Music.$85.00/£55.00(s) November 2015978 1 58046 390 4240pp, 9 x 6, HBEastman Studies in Music

Music in Elizabethan Court PoliticsKATHERINE BUTLER

Queen Elizabeth I (1558-1603) had a strong reputation for musicality; her court musicians, Thomas Tallis and William Byrd, even suggested that music was indispensable to the state. This book looks at such questions as the influence of private

performance on courtships and diplomacy, how music was used by others to achieve their own aims, and the construction of personality and political identity, It reveals how music was simultaneously a tool of authority for the monarch and an instrument of persuasion for the nobility.KATHERINE BUTLER is a researcher and tutor at the University of Oxford.$90.00/£60.00(s) January 2015978 1 84383 981 1 Library e-book 978 1 78204 431 42 b/w illus.; 272pp, 23.4 x 15.6, HBStudies in Medieval and Renaissance Music


Troubadour Poems from the South of FranceTranslated by WILLIAM D. PADEN & FRANCES FREEMAN PADEN

The poetry of the troubadours was famous throughout the middle ages, but the difficulty and diversity of the original languages have been obstacles to its appreciation by a wider audience. This collection aims to redress the situation, presenting

English verse translations in contemporary idiom and a highly readable form. It includes some 125 poems, with a strong representation of those composed by women, and goes beyond traditional limits in time to feature a sampling of the earliest texts in the Occitan language, written in the tenth and eleventh centuries, and later works from the early fourteenth. Though most poems translated in the book were written in Occitan, the vernacular of southern France, there are also a few translations of poems written in the same place and time but in other languages, including Latin, Hebrew, Norse, Catalan, and Italian. WILLIAM D. PADEN is a Professor of French and Italian at Northwestern University, and was recently named a Chevalier dans l’Ordre des Palmes Académiques. FRANCES FREEMAN PADEN is a Distinguished Senior Lecturer in The Writing Program and Gender Studies, also at Northwestern University.$34.95/£19.99 November 2014978 1 84384 408 21 line & 7 b/w illus.; 296pp, 23.4 x 15.6, PB

Benigno Zerafa (1726-1804) and the Neapolitan Galant StyleFREDERICK AQUILINA

Zerafa’s large-scale and small-scale vocal and choral works, mostly written during his long service as musical director at the Cathedral of Mdina, have been winning increased recognition in recent years. In addition to describing

and analysing this extensive corpus, the book gives an account of Zerafa’s sometimes eventful career against the wider background of the rich musical and cultural life in Malta, especial attention being paid to its strong links with Italy, and particularly Naples, where Zerafa was a student for six years. Well stocked with music examples, the book makes copious reference to Italian and Maltese composers from Zerafa’s time and to modern analytical studies of Italian music from the middle decades of the eighteenth century.

Venanzio Rauzzini in BritainCastrato, Composer, and Cultural LeaderPAUL F. RICE

The career of leading soprano castrato Venanzio Rauzzini (1746-1810) sheds light on changing musical tastes in late eighteenth-century Britain. The book examines Rauzzini’s career in Britain as a singer, concert director, composer (operas, chamber music,

and songs), and voice teacher. Rauzzini’s leadership of the Bath subscription concerts from 1780-1810 reveals how he was forced to reevaluate his compositional choices during the protracted war with France. Furthermore, the recovery of much of the repertory performed during these concerts provides specific insights into issues of concert management at the time.PAUL F.

Reviving HaydnNew Appreciations in the Twentieth CenturyBRYAN PROKSCH By the 1840s Joseph Haydn, who died in 1809 as the most celebrated composer of his generation, had degenerated into the bewigged “Papa Haydn,” a shallow placeholder in music history who merely invented the forms used by Beethoven. In a remarkable reversal, Haydn swiftly regained his former stature within the opening decades of the twentieth century. Reviving Haydn: New Appreciations in the Twentieth Century examines both the decline and the subsequent resurgence of Haydn’s reputation in an effort to better understand the forces that shape critical reception on a broad scale.BRYAN PROKSCH is Assistant Professor of Music History at Lamar University.$85.00/£55.00(s) October 2015978 1 58046 512 032 line & 13 b/w illus.; 304pp, 9 x 6, HBEastman Studies in Music

George Smart and Nineteenth-Century London Concert LifeJOHN CARNELLEY

Smart earned his living primarily as a conductor, but he was also significant as an organist, composer and recorder of events. He established successful and pioneering London concert series, was a prime mover in the setting up of the Philharmonic Society and

the Royal Academy of Music, and taught many of the leading singers of the day, being well versed in the Handelian concert tradition. He also conducted the opera at the Covent Garden Theatre and introduced significant new works to the public. His journeys to Europe, and his contacts with the leading European musical figures of the day (including Weber, Meyerbeer, Spohr, and Mendelssohn), were crucial to the direction music was to take in nineteenth-century Britain.JOHN CARNELLEY is Deputy Director of Music and Head of Academic Music, Dulwich College, London.

Rossini and Post-Napoleonic EuropeWARREN ROBERTS

This book examines Rossini within the context of his own time, one of Napoleonic domination of Italy, restoration of the Bourbon monarchy in Naples in 1815, and the 1830 Revolution in Paris. Using the techniques of the historian, and reading

librettos as texts, Roberts shows that Rossini made probing commentaries on politics and religion in a time of reaction and revolution, and that the composer was well-informed on post-Napoleonic politics. Rossini’s comic writing served very serious purposes, exposing the problems and complications of an age that he observed with striking clarity.WARREN ROBERTS is Professor Emeritus of History at the University at Albany, SUNY, and has published extensively on eighteenth-century French culture. $85.00/£55.00(s) October 2015978 1 58046 530 415 b/w illus.; 260pp, 9 x 6, HBEastman Studies in Music

Performed nightly for a broad audience alongside acrobatic acts and song-and-dance routines, these ballets formed a unique repertoire that combined the conventional structures of high art with the popular idioms of mass entertainment.SARAH GUTSCHE-MILLER is Assistant Professor of Musicology at the University of Toronto.$85.00/£55.00(s) September 2015978 1 58046 442 039 line & 37 b/w illus.; 384pp, 9 x 6, HBEastman Studies in Music

Mendelssohn, the Organ, and the Music of the PastConstructing Historical LegaciesEdited by JÜRGEN THYM

The number of cultural icons of German nationalism that Felix Mendelssohn “discovered,” promoted, or was asked to promote (by way of commissions) in his compositions is striking: Gutenberg and the invention of the printing

press, Dürer and Nuremberg, Luther and the Augsburg Confession as the manifesto of Protestantism, Bach and the St. Matthew Passion, Beethoven and his claims to universal brotherhood. The essays in this volume shed light on the construction of historical legacies that, in some cases, served to assert German cultural supremacy only two decades after the composer’s death.Visit www.boydellandbrewer.com for list of contributors$99.00/£65.00(s) December 2014978 1 58046 474 131 line & 11 b/w illus.; 352pp, 9 x 6, HBEastman Studies in Music

Not Russian Enough?Nationalism and Cosmopolitanism in Nineteenth-Century Russian OperaRUTGER HELMERS

It is often believed that the “Russianness” of Russian music is what makes it special, yet an exclusive focus on nationalism fails to capture the complex realities of nineteenth-century musical life. Not Russian Enough? explores the many tensions that

arose when the aspirations for a national tradition in nineteenth-century Russia were applied to the cosmopolitan world of opera, examining in particular the influence of Italian and French opera, the use of foreign subjects, and the application of local colour in four Russian operas. By considering the implications of these operas’ perceived “Russianness,” the book offers a fresh perspective on the function of nationalist thought in the world of opera.RUTGER HELMERS is Assistant Professor in Historical Musicology at the University of Amsterdam and lectures in literary and cultural studies at Radboud University Nijmegen.$85.00/£55.00(s) December 2014978 1 58046 500 739 line illus.; 256pp, 9 x 6, HBEastman Studies in Music

Erik SatieA Parisian Composer and his WorldCAROLINE POT TER

Erik Satie’s (1866-1925) music appeals to wide audiences and has influenced both experimental artists and pop musicians. For Satie, music was part of a wider concept of artistic creation, as evidenced by his collaborations with leading

avant-garde artists and in works which cross traditional genre boundaries. His music was created in some of the most exciting and creatively stimulating environments of the late nineteenth and early twentieth century: Montmartre and Montparnasse. Paris was the artistic centre of Europe, and Satie was a notorious figure whose music and ideas are inextricably linked with the City of Light. This book situates Satie’s work within the context and sonic environment of contemporary Paris. Music from the ever-popular Gymnopédies to newly discovered works are discussed, and an online supplement features rare pieces recorded especially for the book.CAROLINE POTTER is Reader in Music at Kingston University London.

A third section includes his few other essays, including a 1955 report to the unsuspecting west of the true nature of Polish intellectual life under Communism, an insightful radio broadcast on Szymanowski and a brief tribute to Bartók.

SvetikA Family Portrait of Sviatoslav RichterWALTER MOSKALEW Edited by ANTHONY PHILLIPS Foreword by VLADIMIR ASHKENAZY For well over half a century, since the Soviet regime first allowed Sviatoslav Richter to travel to the west, his name has been synonymous with the very pinnacle of pianistic art. His recorded legacy, extending from 1947 to 1994 is one of the largest and most admired ever assembled by any musician anywhere. Yet this prodigiously gifted artist underwent no formal musical studies of any kind until at the age of 22 when he left the relative obscurity of the Ukraine to seek the advice of Russia’s most celebrated piano pedagogue, Heinrich Neuhaus, in Moscow. Neuhaus’ astonished reaction to his first encounter with Richter, and his declaration that ‘to teach one who already knows will only do damage’, have passed into legend. Richter, a famously reclusive man outside a small circle of trusted companions, resisted speaking or writing about himself. As a result, comparatively little is known about his life before his move to Moscow. This lavishly illustrated book provides unique insights into the childhood and formative years of ‘Svetik’. $50.00/£30.00 October 2015978 0 90768 993 530 colour & 270 b/w illus.; 504pp, 23.4 x 15.6, HBToccata Press

The Austrian composer Hans Gál (1890-1987) was one of many Jewish refugees who fled to Britain from Hitler’s Third Reich only to find themselves interned in prison camps in Britain as ‘enemy aliens’. The diary Gál kept during his captivity vividly

describes the difficulties the internees had to overcome to live as normal a life as possible. Gál’s contribution, of course, was music, and the CD with this book presents first recordings of the Huyton Suite, the satirical review What a Life! and the piano suite he drew from it. Introductory chapters by Gál’s daughter and by Richard Dove present a biographical survey of Gál’s life and career.

Shostakovich is a central theme, but it also explores other key influences, particularly Britten’s passion for Tchaikovsky, his more elusive fascination with Prokofiev, and his ambiguous attitude towards Stravinsky; and it places Britten’s enduring friendships with Rostropovich, Vishnevskaya and Richter in the context of his musical output. It will appeal not only to Britten scholars and students but also to those interested in twentieth-century culture, history and politics more widely.CAMERON PYKE is Deputy Master (External) at Dulwich College and part-time lecturer at the Centre of Russian Music, Goldsmiths, University of London.$95.00/£55.00(s) August 2016978 1 78327 113 930 line & 27 b/w illus.; 336pp, 23.4 x 15.6, HBAldeburgh Studies in Music

My Beloved ManThe Letters of Benjamin Britten and Peter PearsEdited by VICKI STROEHER , NICHOLAS CLARK & JUDE BRIMMER

The 365 letters written throughout their 39-year relationship are brought together here and published, as Pears intended, for the first time. While the correspondence provides valuable evidence of the development of Britten’s works, more

significant is the insight into his relationship with Pears and their day-to-day life together. Entertaining to read, domestic and intimate, the letters provide glimpses of cultural and artistic life in the twentieth century. Above all, when read together, Britten and Pears’s letters allow the clearest possible look ‘behind the scenes’ of one of the most productive creative partnerships of the twentieth century.$45.00/£25.00 June 2016978 1 78327 108 510 colour & 46 b/w illus.; 448pp, 23.4 x 15.6, HBAldeburgh Studies in Music

Peter DickinsonWords and MusicPETER DICKINSON Peter Dickinson has made an enduring contribution to British musical life, and his music has been regularly performed and recorded by leading musicians. His writings, brought together here for the first time, are equally noteworthy. Covering well over half a century, the subjects are fascinatingly varied. Apart from musical interests ranging from Charles Ives to John Cage, they touch on literature; and Dickinson’s meetings with W.H. Auden and Philip Larkin are an intriguing insight that led to his Auden songs and the chamber work Larkin’s Jazz. American themes are prominent in this collection. There are unique reviews of concert life in New York from 1959 to 1961; an account of the teaching programme at the Juilliard School of Music at that time; three studies of Ives; and features containing original material on Copland, Thomson and Cage, all of whom Dickinson knew. Features on Erik Satie include the imaginary discussion marking his centenary in 1966. Dickinson also writes about his own music, providing an insight into what it was like being a British composer in the later twentieth century.PETER DICKINSON is a British composer and pianist. He was a regular contributor to BBC Radio 3 and a critic on the Gramophone. $50.00/£30.00 May 2016978 1 78327 106 122 line & 24 b/w illus.; 304pp, 23.4 x 15.6, HB

The Music of Frank BridgeFABIAN HUSS The English composer, violist and conductor Frank Bridge (1879-1941), a student of Sir Charles Villiers Stanford, was one of the first modernists in British music, developing the most radical and lastingly modern musical language of his generation. Bridge was also one of the most accomplished British composers of chamber music in the twentieth century. This book, the first detailed, and long-overdue, study of Bridge’s music and its relevant socio-cultural and aesthetic contexts, encourages a more thorough understanding of Bridge’s style and development and will appeal to readers with interests in British music, early twentieth-century modernism and post-romanticism as well as genre and style.

Felix AprahamianDiaries and Selected Writings on MusicEdited by LEWIS FOREMAN & SUSAN FOREMAN

The music critic Felix Aprahamian (1914-2005) was a remarkable self-made man whose enormous influence in musical circles was deeply founded in his practical experience of promoting music in London, notably British and French composers.

Being friends with leading French composers and musicians of the day, Aprahamian made his name as music critic on the Sunday Times, where from 1948 to 1989 he was required reading. The collection assembled here from his diaries, articles, reviews and broadcasts sheds new light on his life and work and evokes the almost vanished world of a music criticism both humane and strict, paying tribute to music’s spontaneous and absolute qualities.LEWIS FOREMAN is a writer on British music and the editor of The John Ireland Companion (The Boydell Press, 2011) and author of Bax: A Composer and His Times.

Based on Michael Hall’s many interviews with leading British composers of the genre, this book looks at the heyday of the British Music Theatre in the 1960s and 70s, a period when the author as a BBC radio producer was actively involved with the

contemporary music scene. Hall’s book presents an account of the context for the activity of Birtwistle, Goehr and Maxwell Davies; it uncovers details of little-known early works by other major figures such as Cardew and Tavener; and it recognises the highly distinctive contributions of composers whose works are less well known.

The Creation of Der RosenkavalierFrom Chevalier to CavalierMICHAEL REYNOLDS A full account of the making, during1909-10, of Der Rosenkavalier with emphasis on its derivation from a French operette of 1907, L’Ingénu libertin, which was seen in Paris by Count Harry Kessler and which formed the basis of the opera then to be written by Hofmannsthal and Strauss. Previous scholarship has credited the narrative and characters of Der Rosenkavalier to much older French sources known to, and studied by Hofmannsthal, but this book shows clearly how every element in L’Ingénu libertin is in fact taken (and transformed) by Kessler and Hofmannsthal into the work that made fortunes for Hofmannsthal and Strauss, but left Kessler on the sidelines. MICHAEL REYNOLDS casts a major new light on Strauss’s most popular operatic success, highlighting in particular how it was that Hofmannsthal – who had not until then had any theatrical success as an original playwright – was advised and empowered by Kessler to produce a work that succeeded onstage from its very first performance and went rapidly on to conquer the stages of the world.$85.00/£50.00(s) April 2016978 1 78327 049 115 colour, 20 line & 30 b/w illus.; 288pp, 23.4 x 15.6, HB

In 1848 Richard Wagner began what would become the largest stage work of his career, the Ring of the Nibelung. In preparation, he composed an overview of the Nibelung myth; he then composed the verse “libretto” Siegfried’s Death. Although he abandoned the

idea of a single opera on Siegfried as the huge Ring cycle developed out of it, he did include the two early documents in his collected works. The present volume provides modern, reliable, facing-page translations of the two Wagner texts, which are otherwise not available in English, as well as an overview of the German scholarship on the Nibelungs that was available to Wagner and a bibliography of further reading.EDWARD R.

Conducting the Brahms SymphoniesFrom Brahms to BoultCHRISTOPHER DYMENT

How did Brahms conduct his four symphonies? What did he want from other conductors when they performed these works, and to which among them did he give his approval? And crucially, are there any stylistic pointers to these performances in early

recordings of the symphonies made in the first half of the twentieth century?For the first time, Christopher Dyment provides a comprehensive and in-depth answer to these important issues. Drawing together the strands of existing research with extensive new material from a wide range of sources – the views of musicians, contemporary journals, memoirs, biographies and other critical literature – Dyment presents a vivid picture of historic performance practice in Brahms’s era and the half-century that followed. Here is a remarkable panorama showcasing Brahms himself conducting, together with those conductors whom he heard, among them Levi, Richter, Nikisch, Weingartner and Fritz Steinbach, and their disciples, such as Toscanini, Stokowski, Boult and Fritz Busch. Here, too, are other famed Brahms conductors of the early twentieth century, including Furtwängler and Abendroth, whose connections with the Brahms tradition are closely examined. Dyment then analyses recordings of the symphonies by these conductors and highlights aspects which the composer might well have commended. Finally, Dyment suggests the importance of his conclusions for those contemporary conductors who are currently attempting to rediscover genuine performance traditions in their own re-creations of the symphonies.This major study is complemented with forty photographs and a frontispiece. It is sure to fascinate musicians, Brahms enthusiasts and those interested in the history of recorded music.CHRISTOPHER DYMENT is author of Felix Weingartner: Recollections and Recordings (Triad Press 1976) and Toscanini in Britain (The Boydell Press 2012).

Sleeping in TemplesSUSAN TOMES

In several decades as a distinguished classical pianist, Susan Tomes has found that there are some issues which never go away. Here she takes up various topics of perennial interest: how music awakens and even creates memories, what ‘interpretation’ really means,

what effect daily practice has on the character, whether playing from memory is a burden or a liberation, and why the piano is the right tool for the job. She pays homage to the influence of remarkable teachers, asks what it takes for long-term chamber groups to survive the strains of professional life, and explores the link between music and health. She also describes some of the challenges facing classical musicians in today’s society, and considers why this kind of long-form music means so much to those who love it.

The Idea of Art Music in a Commercial World, 1800-1930Edited by CHRISTINA BASHFORD & ROBERTA MONTEMORRA MARVIN This collection presents fresh insights into the ways in which art music, i.e., classical music, functioned beyond its newly established aesthetic purpose (art for art’s sake) and intersected with commercial agendas in nineteenth – and early twentieth-century culture. International scholars from musicology and other disciplines address a range of unexplored topics to investigate what happened once art music began to be understood as needing to exist within the wider framework of commercially oriented culture.

two of which focus primarily on the interaction of elements of musical design and voice leading. The third group of essays focusses on the “motive” from different perspectives. The result is a volume of integrated studies on a body of music that remains at the core of modern concert and classroom repertoire.Visit www.boydellandbrewer.com for list of contributors$95.00/£60.00(s) June 2015978 1 58046 515 1246 line & 27 b/w illus.; 296pp, 9 x 6, HBEastman Studies in Music

The Other Classical MusicsFifteen Great TraditionsEdited by MICHAEL CHURCH What is classical music? This book answers the question in a manner never before attempted, by presenting the history of fifteen parallel traditions, of which Western classical music is just one. Each music is analysed in terms of its modes, scales, and theory; its instruments, forms, and aesthetic goals; its historical development, golden age, and condition today; and the conventions governing its performance. With contributions from leading ethnomusicologists, the book conveys the belief that music is best understood in the context of the culture which gave rise to it . With specialist language kept to a minimum, The Other Classical Musics is designed to help both students and general readers to appreciate musical traditions which may be unfamiliar to them, and to encounter the reality which lies behind that lazy adjective ‘exotic’.MICHAEL CHURCH has spent much of his career in newspapers as a literary and arts editor; since 2010 he has been the music and opera critic of The Independent. From 1992 to 2005 he reported on traditional musics all over the world for the BBC World Service; in 2004, Topic Records released a CD of his Kazakh field recordings and, in 2007, two further CDs of his recordings in Georgia and Chechnya.CONTRIBUTORS: Michael Church, Scott DeVeaux, Ivan Hewett, David W.

Performing Gender, Place, and Emotion in MusicGlobal PerspectivesEdited by FIONA MAGOWAN & LOUISE WRAZEN

While ethnomusicologists and anthropologists have long recognized the theoretical connections between gender, place, and emotion in musical performance, these concepts are seldom analyzed together. Performing Gender, Place, and Emotion in Music

is the first book-length study to examine the nexus between these three concepts from a cross-cultural perspective. Contributors consider ways in which locally produced musics emerge from and interact with particular structures of feeling while recognizing that the emotional terrains of musical performance are complex local, national, and global domains in which gender, identity, and meaning are produced and contested.

Accompanied VoicesPoets on Composers: From Thomas Tallis to Arvo PärtEdited by JOHN GREENING

Accompanied Voices is a unique book: not only is it a highly readable anthology of some of the most memorable and accessible international writing about classical music, but also a moving commentary by one set of practising artists on the work of another.

Poets have been inspired by music for centuries, but with the arrival of recordings and the possibility of repeated listening there was an extraordinary upsurge in verse about specific pieces, particular composers. There followed a century of pithy, perceptive responses, fascinating to the poetry lover, delightful to the music lover, and irresistible to those who are both. John Greening’s new anthology draws especially on this exciting hoard of forgotten material.Major poets represented include Geoffrey Hill, Ted Hughes, Elizabeth Jennings, Michael Longley, Andrew Motion, Peter Porter, Siegfried Sassoon, Jo Shapcott, Anne Stevenson and Charles Tomlinson among a total of nearly a hundred writers.JOHN GREENING is a poet and received a Cholmondeley Award in 2008. He is also a Hawthornden Fellow and a Fellow of the English Association. He has published studies of the Poets of the First World War, Yeats, Hardy, Edward Thomas and Elizabethan Love Poets.$34.95/£18.99 August 2015978 1 78327 015 6, Library e-book 978 1 78204 502 1, e-book 978 1 78204 554 0240pp, 23.4 x 15.6, HB

Scoring RaceWriting, Jazz & the Production of BlacknessPIM HIGGINSON Drawing on race theory, aesthetics, cultural studies, musicology, and postcolonial studiesthe author examinse two converging strains of Western thought that had developed the idea that music and language (especially writing) were located differentially, and allowed a definition of blackness to emerge that incorporated the idea of music as a Black art form. The author’s research focuses on how this naturalization of Black musicality occurred and the impact of these theories on a selection of 20th and 21st century black and white writers and filmmakers; how such writers and filmmakers perpetuated these characterizations, and how these ways of thinking about race and music subsequently impacted African and African Diaspora authors wishing to practice within the medium of writing, from which he argues they have been “systematically expelled into music”.PIM HIGGINSON is Associate Professor in the French Dept. at Bryn Mawr College, Pennsylvania.$80.00/£45.00(s) July 2016978 9 11000 422 110 b/w illus.; 256pp, 23.4 x 15.6, HBAfrican Articulations


Into the GroovePopular Music and Contemporary German FictionANDREW WRIGHT HURLEY

Between the mid-1990s and the mid-2000s there was an unprecedented “confusion of the spheres” of German literature and popular music. Popular musicians “crossed over” into the literary field, editors and writers called for literature to emulate popular music,

writers borrowed structural aspects from pop music, paid new attention to it at the thematic level, or sought to raise their profiles by using performance models taken from it. This book sets out to make sense of this situation, arguing for more inclusive and detailed attention to what it calls “musico-centric fiction.”ANDREW WRIGHT HURLEY is Senior Lecturer in German and Cultural Studies at the University of Technology, Sydney, Australia.$85.00/£55.00(s) February 2015978 1 57113 918 46 b/w illus.; 288pp, 9 x 6, HBStudies in German Literature Linguistics and Culture

American Popular Music in Britain’s Raj identifies musical intersections between the United States, England, and India, arguing that the popularity of American music in India often depended on its popularity in Britain, especially London, and that these three nations together constituted an anglophone entertainment network supported by global commercial and military enterprises.

During the Great Depression, Harry Partch rode the railways and wrote music based on his experiences with what he called “a fountainhead of pure musical Americana.” Exploring the impact of Partch’s time as a hobo, this study examines the

composer and the cultural icon from many perspectives in order to discover how he responded to the hobo label and how others used it to define and contain him for over thirty years.S.
