These essays explore music and its relationship to language; aesthetics; and culture in the life and work of the preeminent Modernist writer Virginia Woolf (Mrs. Dalloway; To the Lighthouse; Orlando; A Room of Ones Own; and other works). Approaching Woolf from musicology; literary criticism; and gender studies; the collection examines her musical background; music in her fiction and critical writings; and the importance of music in the Bloomsbury milieu and its role within the larger framework of Modernism. Making use of Woolfs diaries; letters; fiction; and the testimony of her contemporaries; these essays illuminate the rich and deeply musical nature of Woolfs works.

Its been a few years since I graduated music school and I wanted a book I could reference when I needed to and Essentials of Orchestration was exactly what I needed. It wont go deep into any subject but gives you range of each instrument in the orchestra and tips on writing and arranging to be as clear as possible. Id recommend this product to anybody who is familiar with music notation but wants to brush up on or read an introduction to orchestration.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.

Nicely printed in large format.8 of 8 people found the following review helpful. Orchestration as Sound BitesBy Music GrandmaI started taking music lessons and writing music in retirement. I dont have any formal training and this book provides basic information for a new composer such as myself. It contains simple to understand definitions of musical terms plus the limitations and capabilities of each instrument. The title says essentials and that is true. It is written in bulleted format which makes for easy reading.
