{"product_id":"essential-cowell-selected-writings-on-music-9780929701639","title":"Essential Cowell: Selected Writings on Music","description":"This volume presents for the first time a generous selection from the more than 200 essays and articles written by one of the most original American composers and musical theorists of the twentieth century. There are articles on harmony, melody, notation and music history; essays on vocal innovation, folk music, and the intersection of music with other arts; reviews of concerts and recordings by contemporaries; notes on several of his own works, and several pieces on his life and experiences as a composer. Henry Cowell may be best known as a creator of \"tone cluster\" compositions, which he began writing while in his early teens, but his influence has been far broader and much deeper. As founder in 1925 of the New Music Society, he became a concert impresario for works by, among others, Carl Ruggles, Arnold Schoenberg, Charles Ives and Leo Ornstein; and publisher from 1927 to 1958 of New Music: A Quarterly of Musical Compositio\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e McPherson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/11\/2003\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780929701639\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 347\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.59lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.72h x 7.36w x 1.20d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e IndieFab awards - Winner\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003ePW Notes and Reprints\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/29\/2001 pg. 58\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/11\/2002 pg. 8\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/29\/2001\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/01\/2001\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Dick Higgins, Henry Cowell","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45058703425717,"sku":"9780929701639","price":29.75,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_4248b1c3-c302-4259-8d14-8bb783e2e7e4.jpg?v=1738078141","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/essential-cowell-selected-writings-on-music-9780929701639","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
