Composer and broadcaster Andrew Ford tells his life story through the lens of music what it is, why it means so much to us and how it works in our lives. From his early childhood in the Beatles-crazy Liverpool of the 1960s to his evolving work as a composer, choral conductor, concert promoter, critic, university teacher and radio presenter, he shares the vivid musical experiences that have shaped his life. Memory of Music is a moving and evocative memoir that will appeal to music lovers everywhere. Ford excels at capturing the way different kinds of music affect us how a piece of religious music can transport us regardless of our beliefs, or how a pop song can call up an instant recollection from the past (a family holiday, a girlfriend).

First Edition. An exceptional copy; fine in an equally fine dw. Particularly and surprisingly well-preserved; tight, bright, clean and especially sharp-cornered. Literally as new.; 8vo 8" - 9" tall; 384 pages; Physical desc. : xvi, 384 p. : ill. (some col.), map ; 25 cm. Subject: Gesualdo, Carlo, principe di Venosa (c1560-1613) --Criticism and interpretation --Influence --Composers and musicians --Medieval and Renaissance music (c1000 to c1600) --Influence music --History and criticism. Summary: In this vivid tale of adultery and intrigue, witchcraft and murder, Glenn Watkins presents a riveting investigation of one of the most provocative musicians of the Renaissance. He explores the life of Renaissance composer Gesualdo - a life suffused with scandal and bordering on the fantastical - as well as the undeniable impact of his music on a host of later musicians and artists from Stravinsky and Schnittke to Abbado and Herzog. Tracing the vitalising force of Renaissance chromaticism to our own day, this multifaceted account weaves together the cumulative experience of some of the most vibrant musicians of the past half century. "The Gesualdo Hex" considers how music inevitably takes on a new guise as it is revisited by subsequent generations and how history plays with the evidence. This compelling book asks us to grapple with our understanding, not only of art and the artists who create it, but also of history itself. 1 Kg.

Hardcover. Condition: As New. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. 1st Edition. Dazzling and original, SONATA FOR JUKEBOX is a brilliant foray into how pop music has woven itself into our lives since the dawn of the recording age. Geoffrey O'Brien has delved into 20th-century pop music as we experience it: a phenomenon that is at once public and private; personal yet popular. This is not a history of pop music, although fragments of that history find their way into its pages. It is not a memoir, although it is an entertaining biography of the author's ears and his family's exceptional affinity with pop music-his father was a leading New York DJ and his grandfather led a dance band in Philadelphia. It is an exploration of what listeners hear, what they think they hear, and how they connect it with the rest of their lives. The dizzying array of musical references will play through the reader's mind like a soundtrack as O'Brien explores how lives are lived in the presence-and in the memory of the presence-of music. As new, first edition, first printing, in fine, mylar-protected dust jacket.{Not remainder-marked or price-clipped} N38.
