Overture : such sweet thunder -- pt. 2. Entr'acte : "Sepia Panorama." 330 $aBreaking down walls between genres that are usually discussed separately-classical, jazz, and popular-this highly engaging book offers a compelling new integrated view of twentieth-century music. Placing Duke Ellington (1899-1974) at the center of the story, David Schiff explores music written during the composer's lifetime in terms of broad ideas such as rhythm, melody, and harmony. He shows how composers and performers across genres shared the common pursuit of representing the rapidly changing conditions of modern life. The Ellington Century demonstrates how Duke Ellington's music is as vital to musical modernism as anything by Stravinsky, more influential than anything by Schoenberg, and has had a lasting impact on jazz and pop that reaches from Gershwin to contemporary R&B. 606 $aJazz$xHistory and criticism 606 $aJazz$xAnalysis, appreciation 606 $aMusic$y20th century$xHistory and criticism 610 $a20th century classical music. 610 $a20th century history. 610 $a20th century music. 610 $aaaron copland. 610 $abook club reads. 610 $abooks for music lovers. 610 $adiscussion books. 610 $aeasy to read. 610 $aeducational books. 610 $aengaging. 610 $aevolution of music. 610 $agifts for music lovers. 610 $ahistory of music. 610 $ahow music changed modern life. 610 $aigor stravinsky. 610 $ajazz history. 610 $ajazz. 610 $alearning about composers. 610 $alearning from experts. 610 $aleisure reads. 610 $amusic and culture. 610 $amusic exploration. 610 $amusic. 610 $amusicians. 610 $anonfiction. 610 $apage turner. 610 $apop music. 610 $atimeless music. 610 $avacation reads. 615 0$aJazz$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aJazz$xAnalysis, appreciation. 615 0$aMusic$xHistory and criticism. 676 $a780.9/04 700 $aSchiff$b David$0732293 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910789743103321 996 $aThe Ellington century$93722937 997 $aUNINA
