= Oxford = Bliss on Music Selected Writings of Arthur Bliss, 1920-1975 ARTHUR BLISS Edited by GREGORY ROSCOW, University ofKeele Sir Arthur Bliss, a leading figure in British music for five decades, was also a prolific writer of articles, reviews, lectures, and broadcasts, which provide a vivid commentary on twentieth-century music, the English <strong>Musical</strong> Renaissance in particular, and display the characteristic vigor and vitality in keeping with his enfant terrible image of the 1920s. June 1991 304 pp. $39.95 Art and the Everyday Popular Entertainment and the Circle of Eric Satie NANCY PERLOFF, University of California, Los Angeles This book examines the early twentiethcentury movement that was sparked by the premiere of Erik Satie's ballet Parade in May 1917. Perloff argues that Satie and his colleagues, including Darius Millhaud, Max Jacob, and Jean Cocteau, led French music away from Impressionism by infusing their compositions with French and American popular idioms. May 1991 240 pp. $39.95 Euryanthe and Carl Maria von Weber's Dramaturgy of German Opera MICHAEL C.TUSA, University of Texas, Austin In this book, Tusa provides the first fulllength study of Euryanthe ever made and firmly stakes out the claim that it is "arguably the key work for understanding Weber's operatic aims." Along with close scrutiny of its dramatic aims and compositional planning, Tusa provides insight into its genre and reception history. The result is a book that not only deepens our understanding of a major neglected work but may help to restore it to its true place in the history of romantic opera. June 1991 312 pp. $49.95 The Concept of Music ROBIN MACONIE What is music for? How does it work? What can it teach us? In this brilliant and thoughtprovoking book Maconie seeks the answers to these and other fundamental questions about music, integrating music and appropriate scientific research in a new evaluation of his topic. In so doing, he argues passionately for a reappraisal of music, not as mere entertainment, but as something basic to our experience of listening and communicating in sound, and an art which has exerted a profound influence on society. 1991 200 pp. $49.95 Gesualdo Second Edition The Man and His Music GLENN WATKINS, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor Carlo Gesualdo, Prince of Venosa, is equally celebrated as the composer of madrigals of great power and tortured complexity and as the murderer of his wife and her lover in flagrante delicto. His neurotic sensibility found an ideal outlet in the mannerist tendencies of late Renaissance music, and his works are the most extreme examples of those tendencies. Alongside detailed analysis of Gesualdo's remarkable madrigals and of the few works in other genres. This book contains much new biographical material, particularly on the latter part of the composer's life. June 1991 438 pp. paper $19.95 New in paperback! C.P.E. Bach Studies Edited by STEPHEN L.
