Feature title

J. S. BachA Life in MusicPeter WilliamsDuke University, Emeritus

Peter Wiliams approaches afresh the life and music of arguably the most studied of all composers, interpreting both Bach’s life by deconstructing his original Obituary in the light of new information, and his music by evaluating his priorities and irrepressible creative energy. How, though belonging to musical families on both his parents’ sides, did he come to possess so bewitching a sense of rhythm and melody, and a mastery of harmony that established nothing less than a norm in western culture? In considering that the works of a composer are his biography, the book’s title ‘A Life in Music’ means both a life spent making music and one revealed in the music as we know it. A distinguished scholar and performer, Williams re-examines Bach’s life as an orphan and a family man, as an extraordinarily gifted composer and player, and an energetic and ambitious artist who never suffered fools gladly.2007 228 x 152 mm 418pp 2 maps 30 music examples 978-0-521-87074-0 HB £19.99

A Concise History of Western MusicPaul Griffiths

Engaging, clear and informative, this is the story of western music – of its great composers, its performers and listeners, and of the ever changing ideas of what

music is and what it is for. Paul Griffiths shows how music has evolved through the centuries, and suggests how musical evolution has reflected developments in history and culture. The book provides an enticing introduction for students and beginners, using the minimum of technical terms, all straightforwardly defined in the glossary. Its perspective and its insights will also make it illuminating for teachers, musicians and music lovers. Suggestions for further reading and recommended recordings are given at the end of each of the 24 short chapters.

This book traces the changing interpretation of troubadour and trouvère music, a repertoire of songs which have successfully maintained public interest for eight centuries, from the medieval chansonniers to contemporary rap renditions. A study of their reception therefore serves to illustrate the development of the modern concept of ‘medieval music’.

‘ … what John Haines shows in this fascinating survey of the historiography of troubadours and trouveres is that the intellectual

appropriation of some repertories has a far long history … Haines’s work on early twentieth-century scholarship is already well known thanks to his articles, but the book puts all this into context and offers many valuable insights into the relationships between scholars and traditions A tgreat deal of research, illuminating many dark corners of medievalism, has gone into this book …’Music and Letters
