"This musical autobiography is one of those rich finds that give double satisfaction. For the reader there is that very special pleasure that intimate acquaintance with the famous will bring, in this case the great names of contemporary music and ballet. And it gives the publisher satisfaction to bring out a book which in years to come still will be a source of firsthand information about a period of tremendous intellectual excitement and artistic experimentation. It details the legendary brilliance of the days when Picasso, Stravinsky, Karsavina, Cocteau, Balanchine, Prokofiev and others all worked together under the flamboyant direction of the great Diaghilev. The portraits of Stravinsky and Prokofiev are perhaps the most illuminating nontechnical evaluations yet written about these composers, their lives and their music, while the chapter on Koussevitzky is informed with affection and understanding. Nicolas Nabokov's recollections of his childhood in Byelorussia and St. Petersburg are almost from the first memories of music: the "calling songs" of the lumberjacks floating down the Niemen, the shrill gay songs of the peasant women on their way to the hayfields and the lingering melodies they sang when returning, the minstrel songs of old man Troshka. Born into a wealthy Russian family in the early years of the twentieth century, young Nabokov was particularly well-placed to indulge his love for music. Affectionately he describes his first memorable performance of Glinka's A Life for the Tzar at the sumptuous Mariynski Theater and talks of the music making which went on in his family. After the Revolution, the aspiring composer found himself in Paris, then the cultural capital of the Western World. It is at this point in his autobiography that Mr. Nabokov cheerfully yields the center of the stage to the magnificent Diaghilev, the impresario of impresarios who exerted so great an influence on the music, art, and theater of his day. Much has been written about his personality - most of it laudatory, some of it critical - but rarely has the writer been a man of Nabokov's keen observation and careful judgment. His account of the Diaghilev he knew and of the various toilers in the Diaghilev Ballet Company (which produced his own Ode) is fascinating reading. Here is a poignant description of the mad Nijinsky's excursion to see Lifar perform. Nabokov's long friendship with Stravinsky has provided new material for a stimulating study of this great composer and his music, and the author's account of visit with Igor Stravinsky in his California home is both delightful and instructive. Since the early '30s, Nabokov has bene writing and teaching in America. New compositions of his have been commissioned by the Koussevitzky foundation and have been played by the Boston Symphony, the Philharmonic in New York and other leading American orchestras. He has become an American citizen and during the war served as a "cultural" officer attached to the army. His particular concern was the musical life of Berlin after the surrender and his experiences there attempting to cooperate with the Russians close this absorbing memoir."--Dust jacket.

Ask an old-timer what life was like in rural upstate New York during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries and you will hear about the dances and bees that brought villagers and farmers together. You will hear of favorite fiddlers who held center stage with dance tunes taken from early British and American sources. You will hear of old-time music and its significance to a people making the transition from a rural, agricultural life to an urban, industrial one. Old-Time Music Makers of New York State is the first book published on this rich legacy of traditional Anglo-American music and dance. It traces the development of old-time music beginning with its movement into New York State from New England in the early nineteenth century and to its combination with commercial country music in the twentieth century. Exploring the regional character of the music and its meaning co the people who enjoy it, Bronner introduces memorable figures from the major periods in the development of old-time music, and he places their stories, their lives, and their music in the context of the region's cultural and historical changes. This is much more than a regional study, however. Bronner brings to the fore issues of national scope and interest. He discusses the relationship of old-time music to the commercial country music with which it has been closely aligned, and he challenges the prevailing wisdom that the origins of country music are in the South. Musician, fan, folklorist, and historian alike will benefit from and enjoy this book. The many musical transcriptions, annotations, photographs, and appendixes provide a valuable reference to be used again and again.

Even as worship wars in the church and music controversies in society at large continue to rage, many people do not realize that conflict over music goes back to the earliest Christians as they sought to live out the "new song" of their faith. In A New Song for an Old World Calvin Stapert challenges contemporary Christians to learn from the wisdom of the early church in the area of music. Stapert draws parallels between the pagan cultures of the early Christian era and our own multicultural realities, enabling readers to comprehend the musical ideas of early Christian thinkers, from Clement and Tertullian to John Chrysostom and Augustine. Stapert's expert treatment of the attitudes of the early church toward psalms and hymns on the one hand, and pagan music on the other, is ideal for scholars of early Christianity, church musicians, and all Christians seeking an ancient yet relevant perspective on music in their worship and lives today.
