New Perspectives on Handel’s MusicEssays in Honour of Donald BurrowsEdited by DAVID VICKERS Much like a baroque ‘drama per musica’, this book is divided into a three parts. Part I introduces the principal characters: Handel’s musical works in different genres and diverse aspects of his musical style and creative practices; part II develops complications to the plot: there is new information about the authenticity and chronology of works and analysis of musical, literary and documentary sources; part III brings all of these scholarly strands together and leads to a set of outcomes: a fresh examination of the broader context of Handel’s music in relation to his contemporaries and collaborators sits alongside reception studies. This collection will be essential reading for baroque music admirers, performers, experts and students.DAVID VICKERS is Lecturer in Academic Studies at Royal Northern College of Music (Manchester) and Council Member of the Handel Institute.Visit www.boydellandbrewer.com for list of contributors$99.00/£60.00(s) August 2017978 1 78327 146 720 b/w illus.; 320pp, 23.4 x 15.6, HB

Songs without WordsKeyboard Arrangements of Vocal Music in England, 1560-1760SANDRA MANGSEN During the two hundred years stretching from William Byrd to George Frideric Handel, English publishers released thousands of keyboard arrangements of arias, songs, and other vocal pieces. Sandra Mangsen here uncovers a body of material that is remarkably varied (ranging from the simple to the virtuosic), musically inventive, and indicative of major trends in musical and social life at the time. This book will be of great interest to scholars, performers, and anyone who loves the music of the late Renaissance, Baroque, and early Classic eras.SANDRA MANGSEN is professor emerita of music at the University of Western Ontario.$99.00/£65.00(s) August 2016978 1 58046 549 67 b/w illus.; 282pp, 9 x 6, HBEastman Studies in Music

Verse and Voice in Byrd’s Song Collections of 1588 and 1589JEREMY L. SMITH William Byrd (c. 1540-1623), England’s premier Renaissance composer,

devoted considerable attention to the poetry and prose of his native language. This book, the first full-length study specifically devoted to Byrd’s English-texted music, provides a close reading of all of the works he published in the late 1580s, constituting nearly half of his total song output. It delves into the musical, political, literary, and, specifically, the sequential qualities of Byrd’s 1588 and 1589 published collections as a whole, revealing, explaining, and interpreting an overall grand narrative.

Smith...offers a brilliant, rich, provocative examination of Byrd’s manipulation of his song texts-how he organized them and conveyed hidden meanings and a grand narrative to his Catholic, recusant friends. Highly recommended. CHOICE

Italian Guitar Music of the Seventeenth CenturyBattuto and PizzicatoLEX EISENHARDT In the seventeenth century, like today, the guitar was

often used for chord strumming (“battuto” in Italian) in songs and popular dance genres, such as the ciaccona or sarabanda. In the golden age of the baroque guitar, Italy gave rise to a unique solo repertoire, in which chord strumming and lute-like plucked (“pizzicato”) styles were mixed. This book explores this little-known repertoire, providing a historical background and examining particular performance issues. The book is accompanied by audio examples on a companion website.LEX EISENHARDT is one of Europe’s foremost experts on early guitar. $90.00/£60.00(s) December 2015978 1 58046 533 510 b/w illus.; 266pp, 9 x 6, HBEastman Studies in Music

The Lives of George Frideric HandelDAVID HUNTER This book seeks to distinguish fact from fiction, not only to produce a new biography but also to explore the concepts of

biography and dissemination by using Handel’s life and lives as a case study. By examining the images of Handel created by his biographers and other reporters and by adding new factual information, David Hunter shows how events have been manipulated into stories and tropes. Picking apart biographies and music histories, he exposes their narrative underpinnings – the lies, confusions, presumptions, and conclusions, whether direct and inferred or assumed – to show how Handel’s many ‘lives’ have moulded our understanding of the musician, the man and the icon.DAVID HUNTER is Music Librarian at the University of Texas at Austin.$49.95/£30.00 November 2015978 1 78327 061 3, Library e-book 978 1 78204 642 4e-book 978 1 78204 730 817 b/w illus.; 536pp, 23.4 x 15.6, HBMusic in Britain, 1600-2000

The “Musica” of Hermannus ContractusEd. and trans. by LEONARD ELLINWO OD Revised by JOHN L. SNYDER

The polymath monk Hermannus Contractus (1013-54) wrote on a wide range of subjects, including history, astronomy, and time-keeping devices. His music theory, which is concerned largely with the organization of pitch in Gregorian chant, forms a nexus between Germanic species-based thought and then-new ideas from Italian music theory. Hermann also ties his theory to practice through citations of plainsong and recommended exercises. This revised edition of Leonard Ellinwood’s 1952 text and translation offers a new introduction, a critical edition of the Latin text with an annotated English translation on facing pages, appendices, and detailed indexes.JOHN L. SNYDER is professor of music theory and musicology at the University of Houston’s Moores School of Music.$85.00/£55.00(s) November 2015978 1 58046 390 4240pp, 9 x 6, HBEastman Studies in Music

Who bought music in the long eighteenth century and how did those consumers know what music was available? Where was it sold and by whom? How did the consumption of music affect its composition? What individuals and market forces shaped consumers’ musical taste?

Delius and NorwayANDREW J. B OYLE Norway was a primary source of inspiration for Delius: 20 summers of his adult life were spent there, and almost 40 works express his experiences of Norwegian nature or were composed to Norwegian texts. Yet, although his attachment to Norway was at the core of his creative life, this book is the first in-depth study of the influence the country and its artists had on the composer. The Delius that emerges from these pages is little known, even to most enthusiasts of his music: a driven and energetic personality and an artist searching for a language with which to express the existential crisis facing modern man in the early twentieth century.ANDREW J. BOYLE is an author and musician.

Hans RichterCHRISTOPHER FIFIELD The Austro-Hungarian Hans Richter (1843-1916) was the first career-conductor to gain international fame. His first appointment was to Budapest, and he went on to dominate music-making in Vienna, Bayreuth, London, Manchester (with the Hallé Orchestra) and other towns and cities in Britain and Europe between 1865 and 1912. Richter gave first performances of works by Wagner, Brahms, Elgar, Bruckner, Tchaikovsky, Stanford and Parry and helped to further the careers of Dvorák, Sibelius, Bartók and Glazunov.Christopher Fifield’s remarkable study explores the personality, life and work of a conductor who influenced and inspired the leading composers, singers and instrumentalists of his day. Originally published in 1993, this revised and expanded edition contains extensive new material in the form of Richter’s conducting books. Translated and reproduced in full, they detail every one of the 4,351 public performances Richter gave in a professional life spanning 47 years. Drawing on Richter’s own diaries, the book also presents his correspondence with many contemporary composers (Wagner in particular) and performers. Fifield’s biography of this seminal figure provides a revealing insight into British and European music and concert life during the long nineteenth century.CHRISTOPHER FIFIELD is a conductor, music historian, lecturer and broadcaster.$90.00/£50.00(s) September 2016978 1 78327 021 7, Library e-book 978 1 78204 823 735 b/w illus.; 804pp, 23.4 x 15.6, HB

He established successful and pioneering London concert series, was a prime mover in the setting up of the Philharmonic Society and the Royal Academy of Music, and taught many of the leading singers of the day, being well versed in the Handelian concert tradition. He also conducted the opera at the Covent Garden Theatre and introduced significant new works to the public. His journeys to Europe, and his contacts with the leading European musical figures of the day (including Weber, Meyerbeer, Spohr, and Mendelssohn), were crucial to the direction music was to take in nineteenth-century Britain.JOHN CARNELLEY is Deputy Director of Music and Head of Academic Music, Dulwich College, London. $99.00/£60.00(s) November 2015978 1 78327 064 4, Library e-book 978 1 78204 592 210 b/w illus.; 343pp, 23.4 x 15.6, HBMusic in Britain, 1600-2000

Performing PropagandaMusical Life and Culture in Paris in the First World WarRACHEL MO ORE This book looks at musical life in Paris between 1914 and 1918. It examines

how Western art music became a central part of the home-front war effort, employed by both musicians and government as a powerful tool of propaganda. Drawing on a diverse range of archival material, the book explores how various facets of French musical life served, in very different ways, as propaganda. In short, it explores why music mattered during a period of prolonged conflict, whether as emotional catalyst, weapon, or tool.

Dent (1876-1957) covers not only his pioneering music scholarship and cultural activities but also his personal crusades on behalf of music and opera, gays, refugees, and the culturally destitute. Drawn from a wide variety of unpublished sources, from behind Dent’s carefully constructed public persona of a cosmopolitan gentleman scholar the picture emerges of a more complex and fascinating human being. His seminal books and articles remain fresh and vital and his writing hugely entertaining, while his ideas on the importance of the arts in everyday life are as relevant as ever. $90.00/£45.00(s) June 2017978 1 78327 205 120 b/w illus.; 448pp, 23.4 x 15.6, HBMusic in Britain, 1600-2000

Conductors in Britain, 1870-1914Wielding the Baton at the Height of EmpireFIONA M. PALMER Drawing on many archival findings, this book considers the emerging

function and status of orchestral conductors in Britain and the nature of the opportunities available to them from the late Victorian era until the outbreak of World War I. It does so by examining and comparing the profiles and impact of eight men whose work supplied the needs of a variety of institutions across the period and whose significant contributions were overshadowed by the emergence of virtuoso interpreters. This book deepens our understanding of the internal networks, influences and priorities within musical life in Britain in the late nineteenth century.FIONA M.

Bedford’s Musical Society A History of Bedford Choral SocietyMICHAEL BENSON Introduction by D ONALD BURROWS The Bedford (Amateur) Musical Society, now

Bedford Choral Society, was formed in 1867. Its beginnings were not auspicious - an article in a local newspaper reported that ‘no one felt very sanguine about the success of the proposed Society ... the idea being that musical people were a quarrelsome lot and could not hold together for any length of time.’ Despite this, the Society has had a long and almost continuous history and is still thriving today.This volume records the characters who have shaped the Society through the years, the varied musical programmes and the links with well-known performers and musicians. It includes the BBC Music Department’s move to Bedford early in the Second World War and its support for the Society as it re-established itself.MICHAEL BENSON was educated at St Michael’s College, Tenbury Wells and later attended Hereford Cathedral School and Theological College. Michael has been a member of Bedford Choral Society since 1977 and was General Secretary from 2002 to 2008.$45.00/£25.00(s) December 2015978 0 85155 081 716 b/w illus.; 307pp, 23.4 x 15.6, HBPublications Bedfordshire Historical Record SocietyBEDFORDSHIRE HISTORICAL RECORD SOCIETY

Felix AprahamianDiaries and Selected Writings on MusicEdited by LEWIS FOREMAN & SUSAN FOREMAN The music critic Felix Aprahamian (1914-2005) was a remarkable self-made man whose enormous influence in musical circles was deeply founded in his practical experience of promoting music in London, notably British and French composers. Being friends with leading French composers and musicians of the day, Aprahamian made his name as music critic on the Sunday Times, where from 1948 to 1989 he was required reading. The collection assembled here from his diaries, articles, reviews and broadcasts sheds new light on his life and work and evokes the almost vanished world of a music criticism both humane and strict, paying tribute to music’s spontaneous and absolute qualities.

Benjamin Britten Studies Essays on An Inexplicit ArtEdited by VICKI P. STROEHER & JUSTIN VICKERS Benjamin Britten Studies brings together established authorities and new voices to offer a fresh perspective on previous scholarship models and a re-contextualization of previously held beliefs about Britten. Using the most recent and innovative historical, musicological, sociological, psychological, and theoretical methodologies, the authors take off the ‘protective arm’ around Britten and disclose an unprecedented amount of previously unpublished and disregarded primary source materials. The collection considers difficult questions of identity such as Britten’s retreat to America; addresses sensitive issues of intimacy and Britten’s relationships; and combines closer analysis of Britten’s music and compositional practices with a description of the more overtly political context within which he found himself. Benjamin Britten Studies ends by asking what we can actually know about the composer in a reconsideration of the materials he left behind.VICKI P.

Building the Operatic MuseumEighteenth-Century Opera in Fin-de-Siècle ParisWILLIAM GIBB ONS Focusing on the operas of Mozart, Gluck, and Rameau, this book examines the role that eighteenth-century works played in the opera houses of Paris around the turn of the twentieth century. These works became central exhibits in what William Gibbons calls the Operatic Museum – a simultaneously physical and conceptual space in which great masterworks from the past could entertain audiences while educating them in their own history and national identity. Building the Operatic Museum explores how this seemingly simple idea represented a fundamental shift in how French audiences, critics, and composers understood the nature and function of music history.

What makes the book particularly worthwhile is its careful contextualization of the major fin-de siècle revivals of eighteenth-century operas including abundant selections from critical discourse. . . . One of the merits of Gibbons’ book is the way it enables us to see how these dilemmas [of historical fidelity vs. practical viability, and of Germanic traditions vs. French national pride] were understood, and hotly debated, throughout the period in question, paving the way for a conception of the repertoire that is still very much with us. The book’s most engrossing section is probably the one devoted to Mozart, for the [Austrian] composer’s place within the French operatic pantheon would always entail the most complex negotiations.

The ViolinEdited by ROBERT RIGGS With a colourful history that spans 450 years, the violin has proven to be one of the world’s most important and versatile instruments. Addressed to performing musicians, serious concertgoers, and collectors of recordings, The Violin offers insightful, up-to-date essays on a wide range of topics. Essays discuss beloved masterpieces from the violin’s solo repertoire, with individual chapters on the Italian Baroque, Bach, Mozart, Beethoven, and the violin concerto in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, as well as the evolution of performance styles and interpretation as documented in recordings. The volume also illustrates the broad cultural and geographic reach of the instrument, offering readers a taste of the traditional music of Argentina, Mexico, Norway, and India, in which the violin’s participation is an essential and characteristic element. Other chapters are devoted to American fiddling and to the violin and violinists as metaphors in literature and the visual arts.Musicologist and violinist ROBERT RIGGS (Ph.D., Harvard University) chairs the Department of Music at the University of Mississippi and is the author of articles on Mozart as well as the monograph Leon Kirchner: Composer, Performer, and Teacher (URP 2010).Visit www.boydellandbrewer.com for list of contributors$39.95/£19.99 November 2016978 1 58046 506 920 b/w illus.; 280pp, 0 x 0, HBEastman Studies in Music

Music in Vienna1700, 1800, 1900DAVID WYN JONES Vienna has long been associated with many of the most significant composers in Western music – from Haydn, Mozart, Beethoven and

Schubert, through the Strauss family, Brahms, Bruckner and Wolf, to Mahler, Lehár, Schoenberg and Webern. Today, venerable institutions like the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra, the Staatsoper and the Vienna Boys’ Choir, together with the shared pride of residents and visitors in its musical inheritance, ensure that the image of a musical city is undimmed. This volume focusses on the political and social role of music in the city. Patronage, social function and audience are key considerations, set within wider political and cultural developments; and the volume is populated by emperors, princes, performers, publishers and writers as well as composers.DAVID WYN JONES is Professor of Music at Cardiff University.$45.00/£25.00 June 2016978 1 78327 107 8, Library e-book 978 1 78204 831 2e-book 978 1 78204 832 916 b/w illus.; 287pp, 23.4 x 15.6, HB

Performative AnalysisReimagining Music Theory for PerformanceJEFFREY SWINKIN This book proposes a new model for understanding the musical work, which

includes interpretation – both analysis- and performance-based – as an integral component. Jeffrey Swinkin explores the important role that performance plays in the understanding of a work, as well as the performative nature of musical analysis itself (especially Schenkerian analysis), which he views as a mode of interpretation. The first three chapters theorize this stance, the last three apply it to works by Chopin, Beethoven, and Schumann.JEFFREY SWINKIN is assistant professor of music theory at University of Oklahoma and has published on musical topics as diverse as variation form, Beethoven, the philosophy of music, and pedagogy.$95.00/£60.00(s) March 2016978 1 58046 526 73 b/w illus.; 280pp, 9 x 6, HBEastman Studies in Music

three aspects that have been neglected in the burgeoning field of music and literature. First, it considers figures from German Romanticism to the present who saw themselves as writers before they turned to composition (Schumann), or sought careers in music before becoming writers (Hoffmann, Burgess), then the few operatic composers (e.g. Wagner, Schoenberg), who wrote their own libretti. Second, the book turns to literary works based on musical compositions. It concludes with a unique case: modern composers’ efforts to render musically the compositions described in detail by Thomas Mann in his novel Doktor Faustus.THEODORE ZIOLKOWSKI is Professor Emeritus of German and Comparative Literature, Princeton University$34.95/£19.99 February 2017978 1 57113 973 31 b/w illus.; 278pp, 9 x 6, HBStudies in German Literature Linguistics and Culture

Performing Gender, Place, and Emotion in MusicGlobal PerspectivesEdited by FIONA MAGOWAN & LOUISE WRAZEN While ethnomusicologists

and anthropologists have long recognized the theoretical connections between gender, place, and emotion in musical performance, these concepts are seldom analyzed together. Performing Gender, Place, and Emotion in Music is the first book-length study to examine the nexus between these three concepts from a cross-cultural perspective. Contributors consider ways in which locally produced musics emerge from and interact with particular structures of feeling while recognizing that the emotional terrains of musical performance are complex local, national, and global domains in which gender, identity, and meaning are produced and contested.

Scoring RaceJazz, Fiction and Francophone AfricaPIM HIGGINSON Drawing on race theory, aesthetics, cultural studies, musicology, and postcolonial studies, the author examines two

converging strains of Western thought that had developed the idea that music and language (especially writing) were located differentially, and allowed a definition of blackness to emerge that incorporated the idea of music as a Black art form. The author’s research focuses on how this naturalization of Black musicality occurred and the impact of these theories on a selection of 20th and 21st century black and white writers and filmmakers; how such writers and filmmakers perpetuated these characterizations, and how these ways of thinking about race and music subsequently impacted African and African Diaspora authors wishing to practice within the medium of writing, from which he argues they have been “systematically expelled into music”.PIM HIGGINSON is Associate Professor in the French Dept at Bryn Mawr College, Pennsylvania.$90.00/£50.00(s) February 2017978 1 84701 155 810 b/w illus.; 256pp, 23.4 x 15.6, HBAfrican Articulations
