Making Music Modern New York in the 1920s
New York City witnessed a dazzling burst of creativity in the 1920s. In this pathbreaking study, Carol J. Oja explores this artistic renaissance from the perspective of composers of classical and modern music, who along with writers, painters, and jazz musicians, were at the heart of early modernism in America. She also illustrates how the aesthetic attitudes and institutional structures from the 1920s left a deep imprint on the arts over the 20th century. Drawing on extensive archival material-including interviews, correspondence, popular periodicals, and little-known music manuscripts-Oja provides a new perspective on the period and a compelling collective portrait of the figures, puncturing many longstanding myths. - Category: Books Reading - New Item: 461720645

The Great War in Irish Poetry W. B. Yeats to Michael Longley
The Great War in Irish Poetry explores the impact of the First World War on the work of W. B. Yeats, Robert Graves, and Louis MacNeice in the period 1914-45, and on three contemporary Northern Irish poets, Derek Mahon, Seamus Heaney, and Michael Longley. Its concern is to place their work, and memory of the Great War, in the context of Irish culture and politics in the twentieth century. The historical background to Irish involvement in the Great War is explained, as are the ways in which some of the events of 1912-1920-the Home Rule crisis, the loss of the Titanic, the Battle of the Somme, the Easter Rising-still reverberate in the politics of remembrance in Northern Ireland. - Category: Books Reading - New Item: 461720808

Keeping Mozart in Mind
The demand for math and science skills in our technology-driven world is at a premium, and yet U.S. students continue to lag behind many other industrialized countries in these areas. This book, based on studies conducted on 8000 elementary school-aged children, proposes that not only is there a relationship between music and math comprehension, but that music can be utilized to heighten higher brain function and improve math skills. The enclosed CD-Rom includes (1) a recording of Allegro con spirito from 'Sonata for Two Pianos in D Major (K. 448),' by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, performed by Murray Perahia and Radu Lupu, courtesy of Sony ClassicalTM, and (2) a descriptive interactive version of S.T.A.R.TM (Spatial-Temporal Animation Reasoning) software program. While this book s discussion of the breakthroughs in understanding of spatial-temporal reasoning abilities will be of particular interest to neuroscientists and cognitive researchers, the book is also accessible to parents and educators. - Category: Books Reading - New Item: 461407648
