    Sacred Prelude, Op.15 [Full String Orchestra version]

    No full text
    A natural rubato is felt throughout this haunting, single-movement work (initially composed in 1984 for string quintet as "Opus 1", and then newly arranged in 2015 for full string orchestra by Anthony Weeden - in collaboration with the composer - as "Opus 15"). The sound is reminiscent of that of ancient church music. Written in the stile antico, it opens with a “Plainsong”, then comes the main central “Anthem”. There is a brief reprise of the opening theme, before the work closes with a more emphatic “Fantasia” (where the sense of rubato becomes almost improvisatory). The work, as a whole, may be said to comprise a poignant “prayer” for strings. Ideal duration is ca. 11 mins. ISMN 9790720171678. ASCAP/MCPS Registered

    Aesop's Fables: The Complete Collection

    No full text
    “5 Minute Bedtime Stories for Kids. More Than 100 Classic Fables and Short Fairy Tales to Help Children & Toddlers Relax and Fall Asleep Fast.” This book, despite its rather high price, is a disappointment. It offers prose narratives of fables in twelve well organized chapters on standard 8½” x 11” paper. There are partial-page colored computer generated cartoons every few fables. Why is it disappointing? For starters, in what sense is it “complete”? Perry’s compendium of Aesop’s fables numbers in the 700’s. The very first fable has the wrong title, confusing “The Tortoise and the Hare” with “The Tortoise and the Eagle.” The subtitle makes reference to fairy tales: Why? Fairy tales and fables are quite distinct, and Aesop belongs generally, I would even say almost exclusively, to the latter. Little problems plague this text. On 63, a picture covers the last part of a sentence. The same page has both mice and rats engaging the lion. Which is it? 108 adds a confusing plus sign in the midst of its prose. 125 refers to “doublons” rather than “doubloons.” Aesop deserves better!Anthony Vanzell

    Music in words : the music of Anthony Burgess, and the role of music in his literature

    No full text
    Theý principal focus of the thesis is Anthony Burgess, a prolific novelist whose first and enduring creative passion was music in general and composition in particular. Burgess criticism is limited and largely out-of-date, showing little recognition of the aural or musical elements in his fiction, and virtually no specialist commentary on the music and its relationships with the literature. The main aim of the thesis, therefore, is to demonstrate the variety and strength of the widespread musical elements in Burgess's literature, including the importance he attaches to the sonic basis of language, and to show that these are supported by the musical sensibility and technical competence evident in his. compositions. It is suggested that in the inevitable reassessmenot f his work following his death in 1993, the effects of his musicianship on his literary work should play a greater part than hitherto, and the thesis makes a contribution to this reassessmenbt oth through its original critical commentaries on his music and through the music-orientated discussion of his literature. After an introduction and literature review, the first chapter examines three examples of Burgess's little-known music. All are associated with verbal texts, though the range is otherwise wide, and through them it is possible to draw conclusions about the competence of his handling of musical language and structure. The second and third chapters examine the more familiar work of Burgess the acclaimed author, but from the unfamiliar viewpoint of its musical content, including not only surface references but also hidden allusions and technical puzzles aimed at the musician reader. Two instances of music serving as a structural template for literature are analysed in detail, and attention is also drawn to Burgess's awareness of musical elements in the content and language of the, work of some. of his predecessors. The final core-chapter,e xamines the fusion of Burgess's literary and,m usical skills in the context of his music and words for stage and radio. What emerges is the clear intermeshing of his parallel careers;, and the production within his distinctive literary output of work which, due to the radical extent of its musicalisation, has to be viewed as musically-aware literature for specialised readers, at times evincing, it is proposed, a logic which springs primarily from music
