Histoire de la musique

On the one !

En 1967, James Brown sort "Cold Sweat", un titre que la plupart des historiens de la musique noire reconnaissent comme l'acte de naissance du funk. Il révolutionne la soul en basant sa musique sur le rythme, et son groove sur le premier temps de la mesure, le fameux "One", inaugurant un nouveau style plus dansant. Au-delà de la soul, le funk puise dans tous les styles dominants et influencera lui aussi ceux à venir tels que le hip-hop ou la house. Nombreux sont les musiciens qui participent à son essor — Sly Stone, Funkadelic, Kool & The Gang, Stevie Wonder —, à son anoblissement — Miles Davis, Herbie Hancock —, à sa complexification — George Clinton, Cameo — et à sa domination des charts — Michael Jackson, Prince. Cette anthologie explore l'univers protéiforme du funk et dessine une histoire qui s'écrit encore avec Bruno Mars, Justin Timberlake ou Daft Punk.

One Artist on Five Continents

Elisabet Delbrück (1876-1967) was one of a number of Germans who came to New Zealand in the late 1930s. Unlike most, she had not intended to emigrate but was touring the country when World War II broke out. She was at first forbidden to leave and then chose to remain in Wellington. Her thirty years in Mahina Bay on Wellington harbour had a profound effect on all who knew her. This study aims to discover why she was so remarkable. It explores her early life, her marriage into a prominent German family and her qualification as an artist. She turned this into a profession, teaching and exhibiting on five continents in the 1920s and 1930s. She always travelled alone, observing the customs and beliefs of the people she met. In Australia and New Zealand in 1938 and 1939 she was wrongly suspected of spreading Nazi propaganda. Her story is also the story of a heroic group of Wellingtonians who helped her in the 1940s and valued her friendship till her death.

Each Child Is My Only One

In Each Child Is My Only One : Lotte Carlebach-Preuss, the Portrait of a Mother and Rabbi's Wife, Miriam Gillis-Carlebach, the daughter of Rabbi Dr. Joseph Zvi Carlebach (1883–1942), last Chief Rabbi of Hamburg and its surroundings, describes her childhood in the lively household of a rabbi's family with nine children, focusing on the special personality of her mother, Lotte Carlebach, née Preuss (1900–1942). The book starts with the history of the Preuss family, goes on to describe the marriage of Lotte to Joseph Carlebach, and portrays in detail their dynamic family life – until their deportation with their four youngest children to a Latvian concentration camp in 1942. The book is composed of two main parts. In the first section the reader learns about the events up to 1938, both inside and outside the Carlebach home ; the second section covers the years 1938–1941, in which there was a lively correspondence mainly between the mother and those of her children who succeeded in emigrating from Nazi Germany. This part concludes with several testimonies portraying the special personalities of Rabbi Carlebach and his wife and their devotion to the unfortunate who benefited from their unbounded assistance and altruism during the Holocaust. Many photographs are included in the book, several of them taken by Lotte Carlebach herself. The book is a unique and personal testimony about Jewish life in Germany during the years of persecution that relentlessly led to the conflagration of the Holocaust.
