Sinopse

Chorus Function Evolution explores the dynamic journey of the Greek chorus, challenging the notion of it as a static element in dramatic performance. The book traces its evolution from ancient Greece, where the chorus served as a communal voice and moral compass, to its diverse modern reinventions.

 
Intriguingly, the chorus's role wasn't always unified; it was a site of negotiation reflecting cultural values. The study reveals how the chorus, diminished at times, re-emerges in movements like Renaissance drama and even contemporary musicals, demonstrating its adaptability.

 
The book analyzes the chorus's function across different periods, beginning with its foundational role in classical tragedies and progressing through periods of dormancy and reinvention. By examining theatrical productions and dramatic literature, the author illuminates the chorus's capacity to address current social and political concerns.

 
Ultimately, Chorus Function Evolution argues that the chorus remains a potent theatrical tool, challenging conventional views and highlighting its relevance in shaping theatrical expression by providing a historical context within ancient Greek society.

I Can Hear Music: - The Heroes...

Steven Machat

De-Coding the Matrix of "Them" - Shift Into the Frequency of One Love The five questions that unlock your Soul! Is the reality you are living in just a "cover song" written by someone else? The old paradigms are shifting, and the rules we have been fed for generations are starting to glitch. If you feel a deeper rhythm beneath the noise of society, you have found the right frequency.
Steven Machat has spent over seventy-two years traversing the globe—most recently touring with Jesus Aguaje Ramos and the Buena Vista Orchestra—to decode the vibrations that run our world. Through the rhythms of Cuba and the ancient energies of Africa and Europe, he uncovered the "Muses," Orishas, and unseen forces that pull the strings of our collective narrative.
To wake up, we must stop accepting the self-serving answers of the past. I Can Hear Music challenges you to confront the naked truth:
Who am I?
Who are you?
What is the difference between you and me?
Why are we here on Earth?
Where do we go when we physically die?
From gods and saints to jinns and leprechauns, every society names the unseen energies that try to control us. Steven Machat identifies who "they" are and why these rules were created to divide us. This is for the Peter Pans who refuse to grow up into a broken system and instead choose to become the Pied Pipers of a united humanity.
This is the story of our awakening. It is time to strip away the regulations that keep us separate and tune into the vibration of One Love. Stop searching for a distant paradise—time to build the heaven we seek right here on planet Earth.

Schumann in Words and Music

Davinia Caddy

The unresolved and ambiguous details of Robert Schumann’s psychological decline and death have tended to dominate his biography. Yet in his time Schumann was lauded as a protean Romantic literary genius whose writings, as a music critic, poet, novelist and dramatist, eclipsed his musical creativity. How did Schumann reconcile these elements? Does his music suggest he suffered from bipolar disorder? How did his pianist wife, Clara, influence his compositions? The narration is illustrated with some of Schumann’s finest works including excerpts from the symphonies, his song cycle Dichterliebe, the piano works Papillons and Carnaval, and the Piano Concerto, among others.
