Excerpt: "France has been inhabited since the days when prehistoric man unconsciously told the story of his life through the medium of the household utensils and the implements of war which he left behind him in the caves in which he dwelt, or which his considerate relatives buried with him to make his sojourn easy in the land beyond the grave. From bits of bone, of flint, and of polished stone archaeologists have reconstructed the man himself and his activities through the early ages. Of contemporary information, however, there is none until the adventurous peoples of the Mediterranean pushed their way as traders and explorers into the heart of Gaul, and then wrote about their discoveries. The Gauls, they said, were largely Celtic in origin and had displaced an earlier race, the Iberians, whom they had crowded to the southwest. They were brave, loyal, superstitious, and subject to their priests, the Druids. Their dresses showed that they had made great advance in knowledge over the cave men, for they wore coloured tunics—which meant that they knew how to spin and weave and dye—and brazen helmets and shields and gold and silver girdles—which meant that they could work in metal."

An idealized image of European concert-goers has long prevailed in historical overviews of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. This act of listening was considered to be an invisible and amorphous phenomenon, a naturally given mode of perception. This narrative influenced the conditions of listening from the selection of repertoire to the construction of concert halls and programmes. However, as listening moved from the concert hall to the opera house, street music, and jazz venues, new and visceral listening traditions evolved. In turn, the art of listening was shaped by phenomena of the modern era including media innovation and commercialization. This Handbook asks whether, how, and why practices of music listening changed as the audience moved from pleasure gardens and concert venues in the eighteenth century to living rooms in the twentieth century, and mobile devices in the twenty-first. Through these questions, chapters enable a differently conceived history of listening and offer an agenda for future research.

The volume contains selected contributions to the Max Weber Foundation’s annual conference, organised by the German Historical Institute Moscow. The contributors look at the crisis-ridden processes of modernity through the prism of individual biographies, which manifest themselves in national and social, anti-imperial and de-colonial, global, and regional movements. The contributions cover the Russian, Habsburg, and Ottoman Empires, Germany, Italy, the USA, France, the Soviet Union, Iran, Poland, Turkey, and Africa. They focus on transnational and trans-imperial life paths, networks and the imprints of the actors as well as forms of (auto)biographical self-constitution and the political use of biographical narratives.

The principles of liturgical music have, in recent years, become a subject of bitter, yet confused controversy, and until now a general source of information or background on the subject has been unavailable in English. Furthermore, most European books, because they are old, have long been out of print. The author's present work, therefore, at last offers the kind of material for which there has been great need as well as much demand. The author has written for anyone interested in or concerned with the subject of church music--whether musically trained or not. To make it easy, footnotes have been used to give an explanation of particular musical terms where they are necessary for an understanding of the text, and these definitions are cumulated in the appendix for the convenience of a ready reference. Introducing the subject by a survey of early church music up to the year A.D. 400, the author gives major treatment to the three great schools of liturgical music: Gregorian, polyphonic, and modern. He also discusses the development and use of organ music for the church and concludes with a history of American Catholic Church music. Readers will greatly appreciate the many new and original illustrations that highlight the book, the translation of the Encyclical on Sacred Music by Pius X, and the list of leading Catholic Church music periodicals. For the home library or the public book shelf, for the average reader who wishes to be generally informed as well as the student and scholar, here is reading that is interesting, informative, and an important American contribution to the existing literature on this vital aspect of Catholic worship. --Dust jacket.
