Nagauta

The Heart of Kabuki Music

By: William P. Malm

This study of Japanese music explore Nagauta or literally "long song"--the delicate and complex music that accompanies kabuki theater--in great detail. The Kabuki theater of Japan has achieved a growing reputation as one of the world's most brilliant achievements in the field of theater. And the number of studies made on the subject in the West has been considerable. Yet, in spite of the fact that so much of the unique brilliance of the kabuki stage depends on the character of its music, the manner in which it is used, and its integral connection with the development of the dramatic impact of the plays, very little has been written on this phase of the genre. Of particular interest are the attempts to explore the various approaches to form music in the vast repertoire of this living art music. The playing techniques of the instruments are explained, and the relations of each instrument's music to the vocal line and to the overall design is shown. The analysis is accompanied by two compete transcription of nagauta in Western notation. These transcriptions are the first complete scores of nagauta ever printed. Additional musical examples, bibliography, discography, and glossary-index add value to the text.

Studies in Malaysian Oral and Musical Traditions

By: William P. Malm,Amin Sweeney

The first of two studies included is “Music in Kelantan, Malaysia and Some of Its Cultural Implications,” by William P. Malm. Kelantan is the northernmost province on the east coast of Malaysia. It is considered to be the most orthodox area in a nation whose state religion is Islam. At the same time it must be noted that it borders to the north with the Buddhist country of Thailand and to the west is the Malaysian province of Perak whose jungles and mountains contain many “pagan” tribal traditions. Beyond Perak is Kedah with its larger Indian and Chinese populations and to the south is Trengganu where some Indonesian traits are still to be found. It is in this context that Malm’s study of music is made. The second study is “Professional Malay Story-Telling: Some Questions of Style and Presentation” by Amin Sweeney. In view of the hitherto almost exclusive concern with the content of such tales as those of Sang Kanchil or Pak Pandir, Sweeney throws some light on the form, style, and presentation of oral Malay literature, with special reference to that class of story-telling popularly known as penglipur lara, or what Winstedt termed “folk romances.”

The Stille Reaction

By: Vittorio Farina,Venkat Krishnamurthy,William J. Scott

Die Stille-Reaktion ist eine der sehr wenigen Reaktionen, in denen unter milden Bedingungen Kohlenstoff-Kohlenstoff-Bindungen geknüpft werden können. Man verwendet die Reaktion häufig in der Synthese komplizierter Moleküle zur Verknüpfung größerer Molekülbausteine. Die Autoren diskutieren vom präparativen Standpunkt aus Grenzen, Einflüsse, strukturelle Effekte und die Wahl der geeigneten Reaktionsbedingungen. Mit ausführlichen Vorschriften und vielen Beispielen. (11/98)
