Book of Requiems, 1550-1560

From the Earliest Ages to the Present Period

2023 || Hardcover || David J. Burn e.a. || Leuven University Press

Few western musical repertories speak more to the imagination than the Requiem mass for the dead. Yet, surprisingly, despite the significance of Requiem settings for our musical culture, the literature concerning them is sparse. The Book of Requiems presents essays on the most important works in this tradition, from the origins of the genre up to the present day. Each chapter is devoted to a specific Requiem, and offers both historical information and a detailed work-discussion. Conceived as ...

Metamorphoses / druk 1

the art of the virtuoso piano transcription

Paperback || Rian de Waal || Eburon

Rian de Waal (1958-2011) has written a book about the piano, and how the development of piano playing has been very much dependent upon musicians who were able to cross borders. In 'Metamorphoses, the Art of the Virtuoso Piano Transcription', De Waal takes us on a journey through the capricious history of the piano transcription. At first revered by musicians and audience alike (and often the sole reason for the great fame of some pianists), the piano transcription later became despised and c...

(Dis)embodying myths in ancien regime opera

multidisciplinary perspectives

2012 || Paperback || Bruno Forment || Universitaire Pers Leuven

The role of mythology in ancien régime opera

Throughout the Ancien Régime, mythology played a vital role in opera, defining such epoch-making works as Claudio Monteverdi's La favola d'Orfeo (1607) and Christoph Gluck's Iphigénie en Tauride (1779). The operatic presence of the Greco-Roman gods and heroes was anything but unambiguous or unproblematic, however. (Dis)embodying Myths in Ancien Régime Opera highlights myth's chameleonic life in the Italian dramma per and French tragédie en mu...

The Legacy of Elise Hall

Contemporary Perspectives on Gender and the Saxophone

2024 || Paperback || Kurt Bertels e.a. || Leuven University Press

The saxophone is a globally popular instrument, often closely associated with renowned male players such as Charlie Parker, John Coltrane, or more recently, Kenny G.

Elise Hall (1853–1924), a prominent wealthy socialite in Boston at the turn of the twentieth century, defied social norms by mastering the saxophone, an unconventional instrument for...

An Unfinished Life

Franz Schubert’s Schmerzen and the Shadow of Beethoven

2022 || Paperback || Robert Joost Willink || Eburon

Franz Schubert (1797–1828) and his oeuvre are surrounded by an atmosphere of tragedy. During his lifetime he struggled with childhood trauma, lack of recognition, and syphilis, and he became truly appreciated as a composer only long after his death. His initial fame came mainly from his songs, though he himself longed for recognition of his instrumental music. This new Schubert biography, drawing extensively on 19th-century sources and the latest scholarship, relates how lack of recognition...

Ab den frühen 1960er-Jahren vollzog er den Wandel vom Interpreten zum Komponisten-...
