Bücher von James Webster

James Webster werd geboren in 1658 of 1659. Hij studeerde aan de St. Andrews Universiteit. Doordat hij zich kantte tegen bisschop Sharp moest hij de Universiteit verlaten voor dat hij de graad van M.A. behaalde. Hij verenigde zich met de Covenanters, die vasthielden aan het Nationaal Verbond. Om deze reden onderging hij twee maal gevangenisstraf. Na de Omwenteling van 1688 werd hij bevestigd als presbyteriaans predikant te Liberton, in de buurt van Edinburg. Hiervandaan vertrok hij naar Wgitekirk, in 1691. Vanaf 1693 werd hij verbonden aan de Collegiate Church te Edinburg. Daar bleef hij tot zijn dood op 18 mei 1720. Zijn gepubliceerde preken kenmerken zich door sterk geloofsvertrouwen, een vurige liefde tot Christus, de Gezondene van de Vader en een vaste hoop op de zalige opstanding van de Rechtvaardigen. De toespraken bij de Avondmaalstafels zijn innig en roepen heimwee op naar dit geloofsleven uit Christus, wat nu helaas zo zeldzaam is.

This volume offers a new view of Joseph Haydn's instrumental music. It argues that many of Haydn's greatest and most characteristic instrumental works are 'through-composed' in the sense that their several movements are bound together into a cycle. This cyclic integration is articulated, among other ways, by the 'progressive' form of individual movements, structural and gestural links between the movements, and extramusical associations. Central to the study is a detailed and comprehensive analysis of the 'Farewell' Symphony, No. 45 in F sharp minor (1772). The analysis is distinguished by its systematic use of different methods (Toveyan formalism, Schenkerian voice leading, Schoenbergian developing variation) to elucidate the work's overall coherence. The work's unique musical processes, in turn, suggest an interpretation of the entire piece (not merely the famous 'farewell' finale) in terms of the familiar programmatic story of the musicians' wish to leave Castle Eszterhaza. In a book which relates systematically the results of analysis and interpretation, Professor Webster challenges the concept of 'classical style' which, he argues has distorted our understanding of Haydn's development, and he stresses the need for a greater appreciation of Haydn's early music and of his stature as Beethoven's equal.

This Informative Book is a MUST read ...... The author, James Webster, has spent more than fifty years researching and investigating the Aferlife (life after death)and the paranormal. He has no problem in accepting that we all survive physical death, with the opportunity to reunite with loved ones and friends, and progress up the spiritual ladder. What he does not accept is the theory and doctrine of reincarnation which has become an increasingly popular but dangerous concept. James presents his case with fine back-up evidence from a wide input - past and present - to provide the reader with a wealth of information, not hitherto considered, to enlighten with clearer understanding.
