Hanns Eisler Edition Eisler - CD 5029365943024

Eisler's role in German music is similar to that of Brecht in German literature and the two men worked together for nearly thirty years. Together with Webern and Berg, Eisler is considered one of the three great pupils of Schoenberg. Albrecht Betz divides Eisler's life and music into four periods. The early formative period as student of Schoenberg includes compositions written in Vienna up to 1925. From 1926 to 1933, the second period, Eisler lived in Berlin and made his greatest impact with his political vocal music. The third phase of Eisler's life, fifteen years of exile, was spent principally in the USA, and the fourth (from 1948) in East Germany. The author shows how Eisler is distinguished from other great twentieth-century composers in his belief that music had a social function, and how he liberated modern music from what he and others felt was its isolation. Originally published in German in 1976, this English edition is illustrated with music examples and includes a complete list of works, and a bibliography which has been adapted for the English-speaking reader.

This classic account of the nature of film music aesthetics was first published in 1947. Its value comes from a unique combination of talents and experience enjoyed by the book's authors. Eisler's time at Hollywood gave him a particular insight on the technical questions which arise for composers when music is used in the production of films; while Adorno was able to contribute on wide aesthetic and sociological matters as well as specifically musical questions. Above all, the authors envisaged the book as a contribution to the study of modern, industrialised culture; and, in this respect, it has a particular importance to the whole area of cultural studies.

To set the stage, the authors discuss two massively popular books - Dan Brown's The Da Vinci Code and Riane Eisler's The Chalice and the Blade - both of which rely on a feminist conspiracy theory of history. They then show how some goddess feminists and their academic supporters have turned what Christians know as the Fall of Man into the fall of men. In the beginning, according to three "documentary" films, our ancestors lived in an egalitarian paradise under the aegis of a benevolent great goddess. But men either rebelled or invaded, replacing the goddess with gods and establishing patriarchies that have oppressed women ever since. In the end, however, women will restore the goddess and therefore paradise as well. The book concludes with several case studies of modern goddess religion and its effects on mainstream religion. Young and Nathanson show that we can move beyond not only both gynocentrism and androcentrism but also both misandry and misogyny.

Sabina Meyer is a Swiss-Italian singer with a strong background in different kind of music: traditional Jewish music, the German Lieder tradition of Brecht, Eisler, and Weil, the contemporary vocal experience of Scelsi, Berio and Cage and eventually the free improvisation practice as a means to reshape such a wide vocabulary into an organic new open field. Paul Lovens is one of the fathers of the European free improvised music and one of the main responsible for the transformation and the develo

This is a commentary on human violence. Man Into Wolf: An Anthropological Interpretation of Sadism, Masochism, and Lycanthropy is a reprint of the 1948 edition, with a new introduction by Donald Lathrop. Basing his own hypothesis on the writings of Carl Jung, psychologist Robert Eisler suggests a prehistoric answer to the birth of the werwolf. He suggests that primitive man had been vegetarian and peaceful until the Ice Age forced humans to kill to survive. Not only could the necessity of eating meat to not starve to death have resulted in permanent trauma, but wearing hides to not freeze to death could have been buried deep in our psyche as a memory of turning into fur-covered beasts. Eisler suggests the possibility of a pre-historical, evolutionist derivation of all causes of violence. Also offered is his thesis that many contemporary serial killers were a particular breed of psychologically warped individuals who believed that they were werewolves. The book includes Eisler's lecture given to the Royal Society of Medicine. Also included are chapters on: Professor Jung's Archetypes and Neo Lamarckism; the Roman Luperci and the Lupercalia Ritual, Contemporary Parallels; The Flagellation of Women in the Dio Nysian Mysteries; A Clear Case of Vampirism, John George Haigh; Going Beserk; many pages of his notes; and Index and appendices.

Veteran legal issues reporter Kim Eisler takes us behind the scenes into mega law firm Williams & Connolly, guiding us on a journey through the many storied cases that have served to shape current policies in public and private sector alike For the past twenty years, author and journalist Kim Eisler has covered the law firm of Williams & Connolly, first at American Lawyer Magazine, then for Legal Times and since 1993 as National Editor of Washingtonian Magazine. More than any other writer, Kim has unprecedented and unusual contacts and relationships with the partners, as well as a background knowledge and familiarity with the firm’s history and personnel over the past two decades. In Masters of the Game, Eisler sets out to demonstrate how the disciples of Edward Bennett Williams went beyond anyone’s expectations and came to occupy key roles in American culture and business. In the last ten years of his life, Williams, the founder of Williams and Connolly, often said he was building not just a law firm but a monument. Masters of the Game is not only about a law firm, but about how the philosophy and practices of this particular law firm have spread out beyond Washington to dominate business, finance, sports and the American psyche itself through its influence with past, present and future political, corporate and media figures.
