Peer Gynt Suite No1 for Piano - Op46

Edvard Grieg

Sinossi

"Peer Gynt Suite No. 1, Op. 46" by Edvard Grieg is a masterful orchestral work that has captivated audiences since its publication in 1888. This suite, along with Suite No. 2, Op. 55, which followed in 1893, originated from the incidental music Grieg composed for Henrik Ibsen's play "Peer Gynt." The original score, Op. 23, contains 26 movements that beautifully capture the essence of Ibsen's dramatic narrative.
In creating the first suite, Grieg selected four movements that stand out for their vivid characterizations and memorable melodies. These movements are: Morning Mood (Morgenstemning) in E major: Known for its serene and pastoral opening, this piece evokes the tranquility of a sunrise with its gentle, flowing melodies. It has become one of Grieg's most recognizable works. The Death of Åse (Åses død) in B minor: A somber and deeply emotional piece, it portrays the sorrowful moments surrounding the death of Åse, Peer Gynt's mother, with a touching and introspective melody. Anitra's Dance (Anitras dans) in A minor: This lively and exotic dance reflects the encounter between Peer Gynt and Anitra. Its rhythmic and playful character contrasts with the other more somber movements of the suite. In the Hall of the Mountain King in B minor: Perhaps the most famous piece in the suite, this movement is characterized by its increasing tempo and intensity, depicting Peer Gynt's encounter with the Mountain King and his subsequent flight from the trolls.
Grieg's music for "Peer Gynt" is notable for its incorporation of Norwegian folk elements and its vivid storytelling through orchestral color. The suite's popularity is a testament to Grieg's ability to distill the essence of the larger work into these concise, yet richly expressive pieces. The piano arrangements of these movements, while maintaining the essence of the orchestral originals, offer a more intimate rendition that captures the nuances of Grieg's musical language.

Once a Stooge Always a Stooge:...

Joe Besser, Jeff Lenburg, Greg...

This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice. 
REVISED AND EXPANDED AND BESSER THAN EVER! 
For more than six decades, Joe Besser brought gales of laughter to millions—in vaudeville, on Broadway, on radio, in motion pictures, and on television. From his days working as a bumbling assistant to the world-famous Thurston the Magician, he carved out success with his own act—that of a childlike sissy who brandished his foils with a flick of the wrist and such hilarious verbal assaults as “Ooh, you crazy you!” and “Not so f-a-s-t!” From stage to film and television screens, the famed roly-poly comedian left an indelible mark–from starring in his own feature films and short-subject series for Columbia Pictures, to dishing out huge laughs on scores of popular programs of the day, most notably as the malevolent brat “Stinky” on The Abbott and Costello Show, to stepping in to replace Shemp Howard after his death as a member of Three Stooges comedy team. Followed by countless more laugh out-loud performances in movies and on television, from playing the frustrated superintendent, Jillson, on The Joey Bishop Show to voicing Saturday morning cartoons, his legacy still lives on today, thanks to reruns of his classic work. Illustrating a passing age of American humor, ONCE A STOOGE, ALWAYS A STOOGE tells the whole story. Jam-packed with timeless remembrances, Besser vividly recounts it all–the personal ups and downs, the classic skits and routines that became his hallmark, and behind-the-scenes stories of show business icons who enriched his life and career, including Abbott and Costello, Fred Allen, Jack Benny, Milton Berle, Sammy Davis, Jr., Jerry Lewis, Olsen and Johnson, and many others, in this charming and thoughtfully written memoir.

Mariachi in the Twenty-First...

Donald A. Westbrook

This Element contributes to the interdisciplinary study of mariachi, especially in the United States, by focusing on two areas that have yet to receive substantive academic attention: philanthropy and museum studies. In 2011, UNESCO included mariachi music on its list of expressions of intangible cultural heritage. While it is undoubtedly true that mariachi is in many ways intangible, this downplays expressions of its rich material culture and the work of scholars to research mariachi history beyond an emphasis on musical performance. The first section considers mariachi collecting and philanthropy in the US, especially the efforts of Edward E. Marsh and Chris Strachwitz. The second section examines the first major mariachi history museum/exhibit in the US, managed by the Mariachi Scholarship Foundation and housed at Southwestern College in California. Finally, some open areas for research are proposed.

The Tenderness of Silent Minds -...

Martha C. Nussbaum

The human body is the primary instrument of war, yet those waging war often confront soldiers' bodies in a detached or merely intellectual way. In The Tenderness of Silent Minds, Martha C. Nussbaum, a leading thinker on emotion, morality, and justice, conducts a pioneering study of Benjamin Britten's musical representations of the tender male body amidst the brutality of war, and their ability to transform consciousness by evoking potent, non-personal emotions. 
 
 
 
Offering a reading of Britten's views about the value and beauty of the body that situates these in the context of his thirty-nine year partnership with his lover, the singer Peter Pears, and also surveying pacifist themes in works written both before and after War Requiem, Nussbaum presents a compelling framework for critically assessing Britten's oeuvre. Nussbaum engages with a remarkably wide range of Britten's works, examining his treatment of aggression and its roots in his collaborations with the poet W. H. Auden, offering readings of the value placed on the body in early partnerships with Britten's beloved and singer Peter Pears, and surveying pacifist themes in Britten's earlier works. The analysis throughout is enriched with perspectives from Britten's personal letters and thoughtful study of the social and political backdrop of fear and homophobic disgust in mid-twentieth century Britain.
