'Joseph Mcbride's book has the sweep, passion, complexity and tragic grandeur of a great John Ford film - it should be compulsory reading.' Martin Scorsese John Ford's many classic movies - among them Stagecoach , The Grapes of Wrath , The Quiet Man , The Searchers , and The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance - earned him worldwide praise and renown. Now Joseph McBride presents us with the definitive account of the man's myriad complexities and contradictions, tracing Ford's life from his modest beginnings as 'Bull' Feeney, the nearsighted football-playing son of Irish immigrants in Maine, to his recognition, after a long, controversial, and much-decorated career, as America's national myth-maker. This deeply insightful and impeccably documented narrative is the epic tribute that Ford's stature merits.

Abraham Bosse
- Liber Faber
- 26 Mai 2015
- 9782365802192
Les Sentiments sur la distinction d'Abraham Bosse (1604-1676), publiés à Paris en 1649, constituent non seulement un premier guide pour le discernement des originaux et des leurs copies, sujet décidément vaste et presque méconnu par la plupart des amateurs du XVIIe siècle, mais aussi, comme en témoigne le petit glossaire rédigé par l'auteur, un tout premier lexique de la terminologie artistique de l'époque.
La présente édition, établie d'après celle de 1649 et précédée d'une brève introduction sur la vie et les ouvrages de l'auteur, se propose d'offrir au lecteur une version la plus proche possible de l'original, tout en posant l'accent sur les instruments critiques et interprétatifs évoqués par Bosse et susceptibles d'offrir plusieurs éléments de réflexion.
I Sentiments sur la distinction di Abraham Bosse (1604-1676), pubblicati a Parigi nel 1649, costituiscono non soltanto una prima guida per il discernimento degli originali dalle loro copie, soggetto decisamente vasto e quasi sconosciuto alla maggior parte degli amateurs del tempo, ma anche, come dimostra il piccolo glossario redatto dall'autore, una prima testimonianza della terminologia artistica dell'epoca.
La presente edizione, preceduta da una breve introduzione sulla vita e le opere dell'autore, si propone d'offrire una prima traduzione in lingua del piccolo pamphlet bossiano. Al fine di offrire un'edizione integrale dell'opera, si è deciso di mantenerne non soltanto la stessa struttura e la ripartizione dei capitoli proposta dall'autore, ma si è anche provveduto a offrire una traduzione il più fedele possibile dei termini tecnici impiegati dall'autore, offrendo altresì un rapido confronto con le definizioni offerte dei principali dizionari dell'epoca.

Legendarily reticent, perverse and misleading, Prince is one of the few remaining 80s superstars who still, perhaps, remains unexplained. Now a firm fixture in the pop canon, where such classics as 'Purple Rain', 'Sign o' the Times' and 'Parade' regularly feature in Best Ever Album polls, Prince is still, as he ever was, an enigma.

- 9780571281978
For fifty years, pop music was created and consumed like this: you heard a record on the radio, or read about it in a music paper; you bought it on Saturday; you lent it to, or taped it for, a friend; and they reciprocated with another record. This book covers the birth of rock, soul, punk, disco, hip hop, indie, house and techno.

46 solfeggi accompagnati per voci liriche ; 46 solfeggios for opera's voices
Delfo Menicucci
- Liber Faber
- 26 Janvier 2015
- 9782365800754
È opinione pressoché universalmente condivisa che i solfeggi accompagnati ottocenteschi, ancora oggi nel programma ministeriale d'esame dei Conservatori italiani, abbiano fatto il loro tempo.
Prendono continuamente vita numerosi metodi pratici ed eserciziari per strumento, ma poche pubblicazioni di questo genere sono indirizzate alla voce cantata, pur essendo la voce per nulla esente dai capricci delle mode e dei compositori.
Con questo metodo pratico ho inteso contribuire a diffondere una scuola che ha creato molte delle voci dell'epoca d'oro dell'Opera e che oggi, vantando per di più avalli di diverse correnti foniatriche, continua ad essere oltremodo attuale ed indiscutibilmente valida.
It is almost universally shared opinion that the Nineteenth century accompanied solfeggio, even today in the ministerial examination program of the Italian conservatories, have had it.
A lot of practical methods and workbooks actually come to life and develop, but few publications of this kind are devoted to the singing voice, though the voice for anything free from the vagaries of fashion and of the composers.
With this practical method I intended to spread a school that has created many of the items from the golden age of the Opera and today, boasting more endorsements for various phoniatric currents, continues to be extremely timely and unquestionably valid.
