{"product_id":"a-dictionary-of-musical-terms-john-stainer-9781108000918","title":"A Dictionary of Musical Terms","description":"This illustrated dictionary, written by the prolific Victorian composer Sir John Stainer (1840-1901) - best remembered today for his oratorio The Crucifixion - and W. A. Barrett, was first published by Novello in 1876. It provides definitions for 'the chief musical terms met with in scientific, theoretical, and practical treatises, and in the more common annotated programmes and newspaper criticisms', ranging from short explanations of the Italian words for tempi, through descriptions of ancient instruments to expansive articles on such topics as acoustics, copyright, hymn tunes, the larynx and temperament. That it subsequently ran to several further editions suggests that it provided welcome guidance for the concert-going public in the nineteenth century.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e John Stainer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1108000916\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781108000918\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cambridge University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/20\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 468\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.63lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.61h x 6.69w x 0.94d","brand":"John Stainer","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47423409750271,"sku":"9781108000918","price":59.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_fc0c8694-1545-4212-bfde-1eae51bfc414.jpg?v=1761528575","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/a-dictionary-of-musical-terms-john-stainer-9781108000918","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
