In Il Trittico, Turandot, \u003ci\u003eand Puccini's Late Style, \u003c\/i\u003e Andrew Davis takes on the subject of Puccini's last two works to better understand how the composer creates meaning through the juxtaposition of the conventional and the unfamiliar--situating Puccini in past operatic traditions and modern European musical theater. Davis asserts that hearing Puccini's late works within the context of \u003ci\u003ela solita forma\u003c\/i\u003e allows listeners to interpret the composer's expressive strategies. He examines Puccini's compositional language, with insightful analyses of melody, orchestration, harmony, voice-leading, and rhythm and meter.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAndrew Davis is Associate Professor of Music Theory and Director of Graduate Studies at the University of Houston Moores School of Music. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 328\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.1 x 9.2 x 6.2 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e September 09, 2010\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42135005626503,"sku":"9780253355140","price":57.53,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0601\/2623\/2711\/files\/893b45b2be5ef5709f964b72671ab51d_d910da2b-806a-467d-b29b-22603d5c6861.webp?v=1732646275","url":"https:\/\/booksby.splitshops.com\/products\/il-trittico-turandot-and-puccinis-late-style-hardcover-1","provider":"Books by splitShops","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
