Sinossi

In "Chapters of Opera," Henry Edward Krehbiel meticulously dissects the evolution of operatic art, offering readers an engaging exploration of its historical and cultural significance. Written in a lyrical yet scholarly style, Krehbiel's prose intertwines analysis with anecdotal narratives, allowing for a comprehensive understanding of opera's development from its nascent forms to its grand productions. The book's rich context is anchored by Krehbiel's deep appreciation for music as a multifaceted cultural phenomenon, evidenced by his incisive comparisons of different styles and genres, alongside vivid portraits of key figures in opera history. Krehbiel, a prominent music critic and scholar of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, brought a wealth of knowledge to this work, influenced by his involvement in the American music scene and his passion for elevating the opera as an art form. His previous writings and critiques reflect his commitment to demystifying music and making it accessible to a broader audience, which aligns with his intent in "Chapters of Opera" to not only inform but also inspire a love for this sophisticated genre. This book is highly recommended for anyone seeking to deepen their understanding of opera or who wishes to appreciate the interplay between music and cultural history. Krehbiel's insightful analysis and engaging narrative style make it an essential read for both scholars and casual enthusiasts alike.

And does a moonster called Mr Cheezy Feet really live there?This audiobook features two songs: 'The Cheese Song (Mr. Cheezy Feet)' and 'Queenie'.

With very creative prose, Spid's adventures are fun for parents, and teachers to read to, and with, their children. They present lots of opportunities to invest dramatic licence thus helping adults and children interact and engage.

432 Hz The Musical Revolution -...

Riccardo Tristano Tuis

Being the outcome of years of research, the book outlines the connection between music and the science of intonation, leading the reader through the ancient wisdom of Pythagoras, Fibonacci, Leonardo da Vinci, and Johannes Kepler, up to the most modern research of quantum physics and neuroscience.The author shows how the fixed tuning to A at 440 hertz was an arbitrary choice imposed by a few influential people, without providing any convincing reason or artistic proof to support it. This imposition has moved us away from the natural tuning of 432 Hz, which is linked to the earth’s resonance.Thanks to this book, you will become aware of    which brain areas music activates and at which octaves of frequency the human brain operates;    what role sound waves play in modifying blood pressure, respiration, heartbeat, electrical resistance of the skin, neuroendocrine response, concentration, and other essential components for human well-being.It is one of the most comprehensive works published on the subject of intonation.
