Описание: My Neighbor Totoro is a long-standing international icon of Japanese pop culture that grew out of the partnership between the legendary animator Miyazaki Hayao and the world-renowned composer Joe Hisaishi. A crucial step in the two artists' collaboration was the creation of the album, My Neighbor Totoro: Image Song Collection, with lyrics penned by Miyazaki and Nakagawa Rieko, a famed children's book author, and music composed by Hisaishi. The album, released in 1987 prior to the opening of the film, served not only as a promotional product, but also provided Miyazaki with concrete ideas about the characters and the themes of the film. This book investigates the extent to which Hisaishi's music shaped Miyazaki's vision by examining the relationship between the images created by Miyazaki and the music composed by Hisaishi, with special emphasis on their approaches to nostalgia, one of the central themes of the film.

Описание: Shostakovich's music is often described as being dynamic, energetic. But what is meant by 'energy' in music? After setting out a broad conceptual framework for approaching this question, Michael Rofe proposes various potential sources of the perceived energy in Shostakovich's symphonies, describing also the historical significance of energeticist thought in Soviet Russia during the composer's formative years. The book is in two parts.
In Part I, examples are drawn from across the symphonies in order to demonstrate energy streams within various musical dimensions. Three broad approaches are adopted: first, the theories of Boleslav Yavorsky are used to consider melodic-harmonic motion; second, Boris Asafiev's work, with its echoes of Ernst Kurth, is used to describe form as a dynamic process; and third, proportional analysis reveals numerous symmetries and golden sections within local and large-scale temporal structures. In Part II, the multi-dimensionality of musical energy is considered through case studies of individual movements from the symphonies.
This in turn gives rise to broader contextualised perspectives on Shostakovich's work. The book ends with a detailed examination of why a piece of music might contain golden sections.

Описание: Kylie Minogue’s self-titled debut album produced hits, controversy and a perfect mainstream storm. The then soap and children’s television star ‘crossed over’ to music with hit writer/producers SAW — and the shamelessly commercial approach of all involved saw the ‘real’ music industry get its back up. This book interrogates the way that commercial pop albums are remembered in both the popular music press and in academic research. Is there a way of dealing with ‘mainstream’ pop without denigrating the music and (just as importantly) without validating it according to the terms of a ‘high art’ canon? This text sheds light on the way that notions of ‘mainstream’ and ‘other’ play out in a local context—specifically, Australia and New Zealand music on a global stage.

Описание: Dundee Street Songs, Rhymes and Games: The William Montgomerie Collection,1952. Introduced, Edited and Annotated by Margaret Bennett & Illustrated by Les McConnell.
In 1952 when these songs and rhymes were recorded in Hilltown, Dundee there may not have been a street or playground anywhere where the sound of children singing and playing was not part of everyday life. Although there had been Scottish collectors of 'bairn sangs' since the 1820s, it was not until the 1940s that anyone in Scotland audio-recorded the actual sound of playground voices. The voices of these school children captured the vitality of the local dialect, the spontaneity of their language-use outside the classroom, their repertoire of songs, rhymes and games, their musicality, as well as the sounds that echo the speed and accuracy of their hand-eye coordination. The Audio of The William Montgomerie Collection, 1952 can be obtained directly from GRACE NOTE PUBLICATIONS.
William Montgomerie (1904-1994) was born and brought up in Glasgow. He became a teacher and moved to Dundee, where he met and married Norah Shargool (1909-1998), an artist with D.C. Thomson. They shared a passion for the Scots language and folklore and began collecting children's rhymes, songs and games in the 1930s. Their first book was published in 1946 and together they produced over a dozen books.
William (Bill) was also a renowned poet, song collector and ballad scholar and as he wanted to capture the sound of the voice, in the mid-1940s he began to use a wire-recorder to audio-record singers. After collaborating with Alan Lomax on his 1951 tour of Scotland, Bill bought a tape-recorder and in 1952 recorded children in the Hilltown, Dundee. Though the recordings were made almost seventy years ago they are of remarkable quality and the 47 tracks have lost none of the vitality of the sound of children's voces, singing, chanting, laughing and playing in the street.
Folklorist and singer Margaret Bennett got to know the Montgomeries in the mid-1980s when she was on the staff of the School of Scottish Studies. She often visited them, and in 1993 she tape-recorded an interview in which they talked about their lives and their interest in folklore. Norah told Margaret they had hoped to issue a cassette of the recordings so that people could hear the actual sound of the children, but (disappointingly) the publisher decided to record well-known actors for the production. Though Bill had deposited the original tapes in the Archive of the School of Scottish Studies, he gave Margaret a cassette copy of his recordings - a reminder not just of the songs themselves and of Bill's work, but also of the importance of listening to the sound of the voice, the language, and the sheer joy of singing. Now digitised by the School of Scottish Studies, this is the first time any of Montgomerie's recordings have been published.
In the book, Margaret gives an insight into a century of audio recording as well as Bill Montgomerie's pioneering role in recording Scottish traditions. There is a transcription 47 audio-track followed by annotated notes on each item and concludes with a detailed bibliography. The book is intended for all ages, and (without a word of jargon) is also a scholarly production suitable for those who are curious to find out more. The illustrations are by Fife-based artist Les McConnell who remembers the playground games of the Fifties, as he brings to life the carefree joy of children playing and singing in the street.
