Flyfisher's Guide to Washington

By: Greg Thomas

Everything an angler needs to know about flyfishing Washington is in this comprehensive guide, in more detail than ever before in print. There has never been a thorough statewide guide written specifically for flyfishing in Washington. Much like Oregon, this state combines a high population of flyfishers with a host of prime flyfishing water. With steelhead and salmon runs, trophy trout in lakes and rivers throughout the state, and the occasional smallmouth and largemouth bass thrown in, Washington has something to offer even the most discriminating angler. This guide will show you maps with access points, river mileage, campsites, and more, for each river system, along with detailed descriptions of rivers, tributaries and lakes, with hatch charts for each. Our format makes calling fly shops for up-to-the minute information or setting up motel reservations in a new area a snap.

John Cage's Concert for Piano and Orchestra

By: Martin Iddon,Philip Thomas

John Cage's Concert for Piano and Orchestra is one of the seminal works of the second half of the twentieth century, and the centerpiece of the middle period of Cage's output. It is a culmination of Cage's work up to that point, incorporating notation techniques he had spent the past decade developing - techniques which remain radical to this day. But despite Cage's vitality to the musical development of the twentieth century, and the Concert's centrality to his career, the work is still rarely performed and even more rarely examined in detail. In this volume, Martin Iddon and Philip Thomas provide a rich and critical examination of this enormously significant piece, tracing its many contexts and influences - particularly Schoenberg, jazz, and Cage's own compositional practice - through a wide and previously untapped range of archival sources. Iddon and Thomas explain the Concert through a reading of its many histories, especially in performance - from the legendary performer disobedience and audience disorder of its 1958 New York premiere to a no less disastrous European premiere later the same year. They also highlight the importance of the piano soloist who premiered the piece, David Tudor, and its use alongside choreographer Merce Cunningham's Antic Meet. A careful examination of an apparently bewildering piece, the book explores the critical response to the Concert's performances, re-interrogates the mythology surrounding it, and finally turns to the music itself, in all its component parts, to see what it truly asks of performers and listeners.

Rameau and Musical Thought in the Enlightenment

Rameau and Musical Thought in the Enlightenment

By: Thomas Christensen

Ranging widely over the musical and intellectual thought of the eighteenth century, Thomas Christensen orients Rameau's accomplishments in the light of contemporaneous traditions of music theory as well as many of the scientific ideas current in the French Enlightenment. Rameau is revealed to be an unsuspectedly syncretic and sophisticated thinker, betraying influences ranging from neoplatonic thought and Cartesian mechanistic metaphysics to Locke's empirical psychology and Newtonian experimental science. Additional primary documents and manuscripts (many revealed here for the first time) help clarify Rameau's fascinating and stormy relationship with the Encyclopedists: Diderot, Rousseau, and d'Alembert." "This book will be of value to all music theorists concerned with the foundations of harmonic tonality and it should also be of interest to scholars of eighteenth-century science, the Enlightenment, and the general history of ideas."--BOOK JACKET.
