Resonance in Music

Pasquale De Marco

Sinopsis

This book is a comprehensive exploration of the major musical trends of the 20th century. From the rise of modernism to the development of electronic music, this book covers it all. Readers will learn about the works of some of the most important composers of the era, including Igor Stravinsky, Arnold Schoenberg, Béla Bartók, Claude Debussy, and Dmitri Shostakovich. They will also learn about the major musical movements of the 20th century, such as serialism, atonality, neoclassicism, expressionism, and impressionism.One of the most striking features of 20th-century music is its diversity. Composers experimented with new sounds, new forms, and new ways of organizing musical material. This led to a wide variety of musical styles, from the complex and dissonant music of Schoenberg to the lush and impressionistic music of Debussy.Another important aspect of 20th-century music is its relationship to technology. The development of new technologies, such as the recording studio and the synthesizer, had a profound impact on the way music was composed, performed, and listened to. Composers began to explore new possibilities for sound and texture, and they found new ways to engage with audiences.This book is essential reading for anyone interested in the history of music. It is also a valuable resource for musicians, composers, and music educators. With its comprehensive coverage of the major musical trends of the 20th century, this book provides a deeper understanding of the music of this fascinating and complex era.This book is divided into 10 chapters, each of which focuses on a different aspect of 20th-century music. The chapters cover topics such as the evolution of musical styles, the major composers of the 20th century, the major musical movements of the 20th century, and the role of technology in music. The book also includes a glossary of musical terms and a bibliography for further reading.If you like this book, write a review!

First Among Equals - US Foreign...

Emma Ashford

A fresh, concise roadmap for United States grand strategy in a multipolar world For the past thirty years, post–Cold War triumphalism and a desire to reshape the world have defined United States foreign policy. But the failures of the global war on terror, the return of conflict to Europe, and growing tensions with China all suggest that this approach to the world is flawed. For the United States—the country that has ruled the international system largely alone since 1991—this moment is particularly perilous. Can policymakers adapt American foreign policy to better fit the twenty-first century, and in doing so avoid the pitfalls and excesses of the past three decades? In this book, Emma Ashford proposes a return to a more pragmatic, realist set of strategic principles, ones better suited for the emerging multipolar world, that would pursue narrower United States interests, cultivate the capabilities of friendly states, and emphasize room for maneuver over rigid alliances. In this she provides a valuable counterpoint to today's liberal internationalist consensus, as well as a road map for policymakers who seek to change the course of United States foreign policy.

Post-Modern Buildings in Britain

Elain Harwood, Geraint Franklin

An illuminating look at a controversial architectural style – and its finest examples
Post-modernism was the 1980s' counter to Brutalism but fell out of fashion until its best buildings began to disappear. Now is the time to reassess its values. Historians Geraint Franklin and Elain Harwood discuss its background and key architects before celebrating Britain's finest examples. Individual entries are beautifully illustrated, many with new photography, including the SIS Building made famous by James Bond, John Outram's awe-inspiring pumping station in London's Docklands and Judge Institute in Cambridge, and the late works of James Stirling and Michael Wilford, including No.1 Poultry – an extraordinary corner of the City that in 2016 became England's youngest listed building.

Peter Kreeft

"All the world’s a stage"—but are the men and women merely players, or actors in a heavenly drama?  In God on Stage, renowned author and professor Peter Kreeft explores fifteen great dramas, and within them, five great themes: life, death, suffering, religion, and damnation. From classics like Oedipus the King and Hamlet to modern plays like Robert Bolt’s A Man for All Seasons and Cormac McCarthy’s The Sunset Limited, Kreeft draws vivid lessons on the big questions we all ask ourselves.  Like the plays it takes up, God on Stage invites readers to smile and frown, ponder and fall in love, and sit back in awe and wonder—at art, God, and the art of God that is man.
