Classical Music: The 50 Greatest Composers and Their

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Goulding, Phil G., PUBLISHER: Fawcett Books, MAKE A SOUND INVESTMENT IN CLASSICAL MUSIC Who are the ten most important classical composers? Who in the world was Palestrina? Why did Stravinsky's "Rite of Spring" cause a riot? Which five of each important composer's works should you buy? What is a concerto and how does it differ from a sonata? Maybe you don't know the answers to these questions; author Phil Goulding certainly didn't. When Goulding first tried to learn about classical music, he found himself buried in an avalanche of technical terms and complicated jargon--so he decided to write the book he couldn't find. The result is a complete classical music education in one volume. Comprehensive, discriminating, and delightfully irreverent, Classical Music provides such essential information as: * Rankings of the top 50 composers (Bach is #1. Borodin is #50) * A detailed and anecdotal look at each composer's life and work * The five primary works of each composer and specific recommended CDs for each. * Further great works of each composer--if you really like him * Concise explanations of musical terminology, forms, and periods * A guide to the parts and history of the symphony orchestra "This book uses every conceivable gimmick to immerse readers in the richness of classical music: lists, rankings, sidebars devoted to lively anecdotes, and catchy leads." --The Washington Post "One terrific music appreciation book...The information is surprisingly detailed but concisely presented. Goulding's writing style is breezy yet mature.... He] has raised music appreciation from a racket to a service." --The Arizona Daily Star "From the Trade Paperback edition."

Music Therapy in Palliative Care: New Voices

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Aldridge, David, PUBLISHER: Jessica Kingsley Publishers, Working together in a creative way to enhance the quality of living can help patients make sense of dying. Within the past decade, music therapists have developed their work with people who have life-threatening illnesses and with those who are dying. Music Therapy in Palliative Care presents some of the work from music therapists working in different approaches, in different countries. They describe their experiences when working with children and adults living with HIV/AIDS, cancer and other chronic degenerative diseases. Music therapists, as clinicians, are strongly engaged with their clients: it is this intimacy which is so important for those who are suffering. In this book, the dedication of the therapist to allow and encourage personal expression in others, is reflected. It is of relevance, therefore, to all those involved in caring for the sick and the dying. While there are traditions of case presentation and musical excellence within music therapy, and a developing practice of research, the tradition of clinical writing has been neglected.

Quantum-Classical Correspondence: Dynamical Quantization and

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Bolitschek, Josef, PUBLISHER: Springer, At what level of physical existence does "quantum behavior" begin? How does it develop from classical mechanics? This book addresses these questions and thereby sheds light on fundamental conceptual problems of quantum mechanics. It elucidates the problem of quantum-classical correspondence by developing a procedure for quantizing stochastic systems (e.g. Brownian systems) described by Fokker-Planck equations. The logical consistency of the scheme is then verified by taking the classical limit of the equations of motion and corresponding physical quantities. Perhaps equally important, conceptual problems concerning the relationship between classical and quantum physics are identified and discussed. Graduate students and physical scientists will find this an accessible entree to an intriguing and thorny issue at the core of modern physics.
