XVI, 364 Seiten. Beiger Original-Leinwand-Einband mit rotem Titel. (Einband etwas fleckig u. angestaubt. Ansonsten gutes u. sauberes Exemplar). 23x16 cm * Erste deutsche Ausgabe von "Man, God, and Immortality" --- Sir James George Frazer (* 1. Januar 1854 in Glasgow; 7. Mai 1941 in Cambridge) war ein schottischer Ethnologe und Klassischer Philologe. Er gilt neben Edward B. Tylor und Émile Durkheim als Mitbegründer der Religionsethnologie. Frazer war der Sohn des Apothekers Daniel Frazer und seiner Ehefrau Katherine, beides Mitglieder der Free Church of Scotland. Er besuchte die Schule in Helensburgh und studierte ab 1869 an der Universität Glasgow, wo er seine Liebe zur klassischen Philologie entdeckte, sowie ab 1874 am Trinity College in Cambridge, wo er 1878 mit einer (erst 1930 veröffentlichten) Arbeit über die Platonische Ideenlehre promovierte. Anschließend studierte er Jura am Middle Temple ohne je zu praktizieren. Bis auf einen kurzen Aufenthalt an der Universität Liverpool 1907 1908 arbeitete er zeit seines Lebens am Trinity College, wo er 1879 ein Stipendium erhielt, das 1885, 1890, 1895 und schließlich lebenslang verlängert wurde. Im Winter 1883/84 lernte er William Robertson Smith kennen, der ihn zur Mitarbeit an der Encyclopaedia Britannica einlud. Frazer verfasste die Artikel Tabu und Totemismus, zwei Begriffe, um die sein Werk immer wieder kreisen sollte. 1886 heiratete er die aus Frankreich stammende Witwe Elizabeth Grove, die zwei Töchter in die Ehe brachte. Im Laufe ihres Ehelebens übersetzte sie Frazers Werke ins Französische und setzte sich unermüdlich für die öffentliche Anerkennung der wissenschaftlichen Leistung ihres Ehemanns ein. Die dritte Fassung von Frazers Goldenem Zweig (1928) wurde ein überraschender Verkaufserfolg, der ihn von seinen bisherigen materiellen Sorgen befreite. Nach wiederholt auftretenden Augenbeschwerden erblindete Frazer 1931 vollständig. So war er auf die Hilfe von Sekretären angewiesen, von denen Robert Angus Downie noch zu seinen Lebzeiten seine erste Biografie schrieb. Als er schließlich am 7. Mai 1941 starb, verschied auch seine Frau nur wenige Stunden nach ihm. Er ist zusammen mit seiner Frau auf dem Ascension Parish Burial Ground in Cambridge begraben. Frazer erforschte die religionsgeschichtlichen und volkskundlichen Hintergründe antiker Texte. Sein Interesse bestand, dem damaligen wissenschaftlichen Paradigma entsprechend, hauptsächlich in der Erforschung evolutionärer Prozesse, so dass er die hinter antiken Quellen liegenden primitiven" (d. h. ursprünglichen") Anschauungen und Riten durch Analogieschlüsse sichtbar machen wollte. Frazers Religionsbegriff war reduktionistisch, da er Religion als defiziente Weltanschauung verstand, die auf einer falschen kognitiven Perspektive beruhe und den aus Furcht entstandenen Versuch darstelle, das bedrohte Überleben zu sichern. Im Bereich der Ethnologie versuchte Frazer, Antriebe und Motive der so genannten Wilden" durch vergleichende Methoden zu erkennen. Dabei postulierte er die Fähigkeit, unterscheiden zu können, ob eine gegebene Motivation tatsächlich ausschlaggebend für das Motiv oder nur (unbewusst) vorgeschoben ist, und die wahre Motivation dahinter benennen zu können. Durch seine Forschungen trug Frazer wesentlich zur Anerkennung der Ethnologie als Wissenschaft bei. Frazer versuchte in seinem Hauptwerk Der goldene Zweig (The Golden Bough) die griechische und römische Religionsgeschichte durch eine vergleichende Methode im Sinne Edward Tylors und der durch die Volkskunde erbrachten Forschungen zu verbinden, von denen Mannhardts Werk Wald- und Feldkulte" ihn am stärksten beeinflusste. Er kommt zu dem Schluss, dass die Evolution des menschlichen Geistes eine Höherentwicklung von Magie zu Religion und schließlich zur Wissenschaft darstelle. Magie ist demnach der Versuch, die dem Menschen bedrohliche Umwelt zu kontrollieren und zu seinen Gunsten zu beeinflussen, und hieraus entspringe die Erkenntnis übernatürlicher Mächte, deren Wohlwollen es durch die Religion zu erreichen gelte. Besonders in seinem Vorwort zur dritten Auflage von 1928, das in der weitverbreiteten, gekürzten deutschsprachigen Ausgabe fehlt, zeigte sich Frazer als kämpferischer Religionskritiker, der es für unausweichlich hielt, die Grundlagen der Glaubensvorstellungen zu erschüttern. Seine sendungsbewusste evolutionistische Auffassung wird jedoch heutzutage in den entsprechenden Wissenschaften nicht mehr vertreten, da zum einen der Wissenschaft nicht mehr unbedingt Sinnstiftung zugesprochen wird, zum anderen Magie und Religion vielfach vermengt sind und darüber hinausgehend Frazer von einer Leistung einzelner herausragender Individuen ausgeht und die soziologische Perspektive ablehnt. Frazers opus magnum diente zahlreichen Künstlern als Inspirationsquelle, etwa den Surrealisten Max Ernst und Wolfgang Paalen. Frazers Werk Totemismus und Exogamie stellte zum ersten Mal in der Geschichte der Ethnologie sämtliche ethnographischen Daten zum Thema Exogamie zusammen und gilt trotz der Kritik an den Frazerschen Schlussfolgerungen als bedeutendes Werk. Zu seinen Anfängen als klassischer Philologe kehrte Frazer noch einmal zurück, als er 1929 Ovids Fasti herausgab und kommentierte. in diesem allgemein anerkannten fünfbändigen Werk hielt sich Frazer relativ eng an die zu erläuternden Texte und verzichtete auf evolutionistische Ansätze.

Folio (ca. 356 x 278 mm.). Unbound. 9 leaves notated in pencil on one side of each leaf of 18-stave AZTEC C-18 music manuscript paper. A working manuscript, with erasures, alterations and cancellations. Together with: A copy of the published full score of the movement, i.e., pp. 107-138, and a 1-1/2 page printed commentary by the composer discussing the background of the work and briefly describing the music: "I should say, however, that as I was working on the last movement, I found myself thinking as much about the fox as about the hunting hounds. This, coupled with the fact that I recently acquired a recording of background music from the old movie serials that I used to go to as a kid, probably accounts for the quite ungentlemanly, almost lurid quality of the chase music." "Thurber's Dogs was commissioned for the ProMusica Chamber Orchestra of Columbus and the Thurber House to commemorate the 100th birthday anniversary of author James Thurber. It was completed on August 13, 1994. The first performances took place on December 2 and 4, 1994; the ProMusica Chamber Orchestra of Columbus was conducted, respectively, by the composer and Timothy Russell, the orchestra's Music Director. The work has been recorded by the ProMusica Chamber Orchestra of Columbus for release in the fall of 1995." - Mr. Schickele's commentary accompanying the manuscript A composition student of Roy Harris, Darius Milhaud, Persichetti and Bergsma, "Schickele has become the leading American musical satirist, giving concerts throughout the USA in which he lectures, sings, conducts and plays as guest soloist with symphony orchestras or with his own ensemble. The humorous compositions range from outrageous parodies, such as the cantata Iphigenia in Brooklyn, to ingenious combinations of antithetical styles, as in Blaues Gras (Bluegrass Cantata), and are full of surprising violations of familiar styles, musical forms and phrase structures, harmonic conventions and orchestration. Schickele's commentaries and his mock-scholarly The Definitive Biography of P.D.Q. Bach. juxtapose incongruities from contemporary culture with relatively austere academic and classical canons, and are reflective of the eclectic musical menu of the modern American public. One of the most widely performed and published of contemporary composers working in many different styles ." Deane L. Root in Grove Music Online Thurber (1894-1961), one of the foremost American humorists of the 20th century, had a great love of dogs and included them in many of his drawings, calling them "sound creatures in a crazy world." - Thurber House website.

Campra was a leading figure in French theatrical and sacred music in the early 18th century. With: MONTECLAIR, Michel Pignolet 1667-1737 [1] (Les Soirées de l'Eté, tirées du ballet Des Festes de l'Eté: Le Paroles d de M. Pellegrin. La Musique de M. Monteclair.), 2 (cast list), 3-22 pp. Named cast includes: - Actors Mlles. Coupée and Chevalier and Messieurs Person, de la Tour, and Le Page - Dancers Mlles. Camargo, Lyonois, Thierry, Dazenoncourt, Sauvage, Beaufort, and Briseval; Mrs. Dupré, Dumay, Matignon, Hamoche, and Caillé; Monsieurs Tessier and Levoir "Although not prolific, Montéclair wrote in most of the genres cultivated during the early 18th century in France, excepting only the keyboard. He was one of the most versatile of the generation between Lully's death (1687) and Rameau's advent as a stage composer (1733); composers of this 'préramiste' period are often described as 'imitators of Lully', but Montéclair and Campra are among those who influenced Rameau's dramatic music. In his stage works, Montéclair was particularly sensitive to the dramatic function of orchestral colour. His operatic scores are much clearer than those of his contemporaries in giving directions for specific instruments, like the off-stage horns 'played very softly to simulate the hunt in the distance' in the second entrée of Les festes de l'été (Montéclair added that 'if no cors de chasse are available, oboes and violins may play the following and remain in the orchestra'). In the same work, a 'Prélude à trois basses' introduces the first scene of the third entrée, where the main roles are sung by basses; the prelude to the second scene, whose main roles are sung by sopranos, is scored for violins and violas without continuo. The parts enter in reverse order, and the melodic material is derived from the earlier prelude (ex.1). Les festes de l'été and Jephté both contain an a cappella chorus and the former has a large-scale double chorus - an operatic counterpart to the choruses in Lalande's grands motets." James R. Anthony in Grove Music Online With: BOURGEOIS, Thomas Louis 1676-1750 or 1751 [1] (L'Estime, tiré Des Amours Déguisés. Les Paroles de Monsieur Fuzelier. La Musique de Monsieur Bourgeois.), 2 (cast list), 3-14 pp. Named cast includes: - Actors Mlles. Fel, Jacquet, and Gondré; Messieurs de Chassé, Poirier, and Person - Dancers Mlles.

A French composer and singer, best known for his contributions to the 18th century French cantata, Bourgeois also wrote ballets and divertisseme.
