Stravinsky: Symphony in Three Movements; Symphony in C; Symphony of Psalms
USD 12.60
The Symphony in Three Movements was composed during the height of WWII (1942-45), and reflects the composer's impressions, mostly gained through cinematic representations, of the ongoing war. The Symphony in C was composed during one of the darkest periods in Stravinsky's life--years marked by illness and the death of his mother, his wife, and a daughter. However, in trying to focus on formal concerns in the music, Stravinsky tried to keep his personal feelings out of the symphony. The first two movements were composed in Europe and reflect more of a traditional style. The third and fourth movements were composed after Stravinsky moved to America and herald his growing experiments with rhythmic meter change. The final composition on this CD, Symphony of Psalms, is based on various Psalms from the Bible and consists of three parts. The score's inscription à la gloire de Dieu, "to the glory of God," reveals Stravinsky's purpose for the work. Born in Dresden in 1927 but reared in Argentina, in the 1950s Michael Gielen began to gain a reputation as a conductor of both the Viennese classics and contemporary music, of which he is now an acknowledged master. His mastery of twentieth century idioms is unquestioned.

Schoenberg and His School
USD 14.59
This book talks about music. It incorporates modal and tonal music. It talks about Arnold Schoenberg, the founder of contempoary music, Alban Berg and how the past plays on contemporary music and Anton Webern and the future of contemporary music. As well as the structure of contemporary musical speech. // René Leibowitz was a French composer, conductor, music theorist and teacher born in Warsaw, Poland. // During the early 1930s, Leibowitz studied composition and orchestration with Ravel in Paris, where he was introduced to Schoenberg's Twelve-note technique by the German pianist and composer Erich Itor Kahn. He subsequently studied with Schoenberg's pupil Webern. Many of the works of the Second Viennese School were first heard in France at the International Festival of Chamber Music established by Leibowitz in Paris in 1947. Leibowitz was highly influential in establishing the reputation of the Second Viennese School, both through activity as a teacher in Paris after WWII and through his book Schoenberg et son ecole, published in 1947 and translated by Dika Newlin as Schoenberg and his School (US and UK editions 1949). This was among the earliest theoretical treatises written on Schoenberg's 12-tone method of composition. Leibowitz's advocacy of the Schoenberg school was taken further by his two most gifted pupils, each taking different paths in promoting the musics of Schoenberg, Webern and the development of serialism, namely Pierre Boulez and Jacques-Louis Monod. His American students include the composers Will Ogdon, Janet Maguire, and the avant-garde film director-animator John Whitney. // As conductor, Leibowitz was active in many recording projects. One of the most widely circulated and most notable is a set of the Beethoven symphonies made for Reader's Digest Recordings; it was apparently the first recording of the symphonies to follow Beethoven's original metronome markings. In choosing this approach, Leibowitz was influenced by his friend and colleague Rudolf Kolisch. Leibowitz likewise made many recordings for Reader's Digest in their various compilation albums. // He also wrote for Les Temps modernes, applying existentialist ideas to musicology.

BEST OF BIG BAND SOUND (3 CD Set)
USD 4.00
The "Swing Era " of the 1940s gave us some of the most memorable songs in the history of music. The brass of the big bands fronted by such famous names as Glenn Miller, Benny Goodman, Tommy and Jimmy Dorsey echoed throughout the dance floors, clubs and ballrooms around the country as WWII raged on but could not dampen our spirits. "In the Mood', "Chattanooga Choo Choo", "Begin the Beguine" and "One O'clock Jump" had the dance floor hopping and swinging to the beat as the big band orchestra's toured the country from coast to coast brining their unique sound to music lovers everywhere. Folks gathered around their radio at night and crooned along with Woody Herman, Duke Ellington, Artie Shaw and Cab Calloway and others as the war went on and it gave them a happy time to forget the misery of the battle and remember the good times when peace was the way and the trumpets and trombones played their favorite melodies. This collection contains 36 previously recorded hits of live concert and radio air-check renditions of the timeless music of the Big Band Era.

Encyclopedia of the History of the Swing Era: Biographies of Big Swing Band Arrangers and Sidemen
USD 29.99
Swing music was one of America's first truly original contributions to the world of Fine Arts. The period of the 1930s, 1940s, 1950s, and 1960s is thus far the only age in history when the popularity of swing eclipsed all other genres of music in the U.S. It is an epoch known as the Big Swing Band era, and during it swing music was king.

Since the 1950s I have been involved in the research, collecting, and radio and television broadcasting of swing music that spans seven decades of swing history.
