Assessment in schools has become a hotly debated issue in education. In the wake of political pressures for accountability, educators have sought to defend the principle that assessment should serve the interests of learners and learning. With the aim of improving learning and raising standards, this book presents a case for formative assessment, day-by-day, rather than summative assessment at the end of key stages.

Bach's cantatas are among the highest achievements of Western musical art, yet studies of the individual cantatas that are both illuminating and detailed are few. In this book, noted Bach expert Eric Chafe combines t heo lo g ica l, his t o rica l, analytical, and interpretive approaches to the cantatas to offer readers and listeners alike the richest possible experience of these works. A respected theorist of seventeenth-century music, Chafe is sensitive to the composer's intentions and to the enduring and universal qualities of the music itself.

Conceptualizing Music: Cognitive Structure, Theory, And Analysis This book shows how recent work in cognitive science, especially that developed by cognitive linguists and cognitive psychologists, can be used to explain how we understand music. The book focuses on three cognitive processes--categorization, cross-domain mapping, and the use of conceptual models--and explores the part these play in theories of musical organization. The first part of the book provides a detailed overview of the relevant work in cognitive science, framed around specific musical examples. The second part brings this perspective to bear on a number of issues with which music scholarship has often been occupied, including the emergence of musical syntax and its relationship to musical semiosis, the problem of musical ontology,
the relationship between words and music in songs, and conceptions of musical form and musical hierarchy. The book will be of interest to music theorists, musicologists, and ethnomusicologists, as well as those with a professional or avocational interest in the application of work in cognitive science to humanistic principles.

In An Eye for Music, author John Richardson navigates key areas of current thought -- from music theory to film theory to cultural theory - to explore what it means that the experience of music is now cinematic, spatial, and visual as much as it is auditory. Richardson maps out the terrain of recent audiovisual production over a wide array of styles and practices, and sketches out a set of common structures that inform how we experience sound and vision. Whether examining Philip Glass or The Gorillaz, Richard Linklater's Waking Life or Michel Gondry's Be Kind Rewind, Richardson's arguments are both fascinating and provocative.
Mahler: Vida e Obra (com CD) Para Gustav Mahler, a música nada tinha de abstracto ou quimérico. "A música tem de ser como o mundo", afirmava. "Tem de abarcar tudo." Cumpriu exuberantemente o seu ideal, criando obras de tal amplitude emocional e força criativa que é como se cada uma delas fosse, por si só, um mundo. De forma inigualável, Mahler foi o prisma através do qual se refracta essa amálgama de experiências. Este livro segue a evolução de Mahler como homem e
compositor, e relata as vivências - as alegrias e tristezas pessoais e também as forças culturais mais gerais - que o enformaram e fizeram dele um dos compositores mais amados e admirados de todo o repertório clássico.

Haydn - Vida e Obra
Autor(es): David Vickers Editora: Bizâncio Isbn: 9789725304204
Haydn é um dos primeiros grandes compositores cuja fama em vida prevaleceu depois da sua morte. Sendo muito apreciado pelas suas sinfonias mais populares e cantantes, e pela oratória A Criação, a gama de realizações musicais e a sua fascinante vida têm sido relegadas para segundo plano, ensombradas pela figura do seu grande amigo Mozart e pela ousadia rebelde do seu discípulo Beethoven. Amplamente sustentada em soberbos extractos musicais, esta biografia revela Haydn como um homem de grande mestria, eloquência, energia e charme — traços que se reflectem na sua música.
