A Handbook of the Musical Instrument Collection of the Commercial Museum Philadelphia (Classic Reprint) - Brossura
Sinossi
Excerpt from A Handbook of the Musical Instrument Collection of the Commercial Museum Philadelphia
In my travels throughout the exotic orient, the enchanting Pacific islands and mysterious Africa I was often deeply moved by the strangely exciting musical cultures I encountered. Fin. Java and Bali there was the majestic and ecstatic ringing of the'5 ceremonial gongs; in a Tibetan monastery there was the noble intoning of the lamaist monks playing the long copper trtimpets; in Africa and Haiti4 - the frenzied vitality of the combat of rhythms of war drums. Often I have Wished that lovers of great symphonic music in our country could hear these wonderful sounds and see the magnificent instruments which made them. Now, thanks to the exhibit and to the handbook by Dr. Barone, it will be possible for many more of us to become familiar with the musical instruments and cultures of other lands.
