Pos-Tudos (12 etudes for piano solo)
Book of solo piano etudes by Brazilian composer Bruno Ruviaro. The title comes from a Brazilian poem by Augusto de Campos (Pós-tudo). An étude ("study" in French, "estudo" in Portuguese) is typically a short musical composition designed to improve the skills of a performer by isolating and exploring a specific technical and musical challenge. Each of these twelve etudes is made up of transformations of existing music by other composers, from Bach to Tom Jobim, from Chopin to Pixinguinha, from Kagel to Chiquinha Gonzaga. A PDF of this work can be accessed directly from the composers' website. Bruno Ruviaro lives in Oakland, California, and teaches Composition and Electronic Music at Santa Clara University.
Live Coding
The first comprehensive introduction to the origins, aspirations, and evolution of live coding. Performative, improvised, on the fly: live coding is about how people interact with the world and each other via code. In the last few decades, live coding has emerged as a dynamic creative practice gaining attention across cultural and technical fields—from music and the visual arts through to computer science. Live Coding: A User’s Manual is the first comprehensive introduction to the practice, and a broader cultural commentary on the potential for live coding to open up deeper questions about contemporary cultural production and computational culture. This multi-authored book—by artists and musicians, software designers, and researchers—provides a practice-focused account of the origins, aspirations, and evolution of live coding, including expositions from a wide range of live coding practitioners. In a more conceptual register, the authors consider liveness, temporality, and knowledge in relation to live coding, alongside speculating on the practice’s future forms.
Composer Genealogies
Throughout the western classical tradition, composers have influenced and been influenced by their students and teachers. Many musicians frequently add to their personal acclaim by naming their teachers and the lineage through which they were taught. Until now, the relationships between composers have remained uncataloged and understudied, but with enough research, it is possible to document entire schools of composition. Composer Genealogies: A Compendium of Composers, Their Teachers, and Their Students is the first volume to gather the genealogies of more than seventeen thousand classical composers in a single volume. Functioning as its own fully cross-referenced index, this volume lists composers and their dates, followed by their teachers and notable students. A short introduction presents the parameters by which composers were selected and provides a survey of the literature available for further study. Gathering records and information from reference books, university websites, obituaries, articles, composers’ websites, and even direct contact with some composers, Pfitzinger creates a valuable resource for music researchers, composers, and performers.

Converting street corners to open-air churches and gangsta rap beats into anthems of praise, holy hip hoppers used gospel rap to navigate complicated soc...
