Music Speaks
Albright presents a collection of essays on the history of music, probing the problems of articulating the meaning of music, and exploring the larger question of how music interacts with language and image to create the full artistic spectrum afforded in media such as opera.
Mendelssohn Perspectives
Mendelssohn Perspectives presents valuable new insights into Mendelssohn's music, biography and reception. Critically engaging a wide range of source materials, the volume combines traditional musical-analytical studies with those that draw on other humanistic disciplines to shed new light on the composer's life, and on his contemporary and posthumous reputations. The volume offers essays on Mendelssohn's Jewishness, his vast correspondence, his music for the stage, and his relationship with music of the past and future, as well as the compositional process and handling of form in the music of both Mendelssohn and his sister, the composer Fanny Hensel.
Rethinking Mendelssohn
Building on the renaissance in Mendelssohn scholarship of the last two decades, Rethinking Mendelssohn critically engages with the composer's music and aesthetics, as well as the interpretation of his works in relation to contemporaneous culture.
