Musical instruments : highlights of the Metropolitan Museum of Art / J. Kenneth Moore, Jayson Kerr Dobney, and E. Bradley Strauchen-Scherer. by Moore, J. Kenneth (Curator), author. New York : Metropolitan Museum Of Art, c2015. Subjects Metropolitan Museum of Art (New York, N.Y.). Department of Musical Instruments -- Catalogs.   Musical instruments -- Catalogs. ISBN:  1588395626 (pbk.) 9781588395627 (pbk.) Description:  191 pages : illustrations (chiefly color) ; 24 cm Contents:  Highlights from the collection -- About the musical instruments collection. Requests:  0 Summary:  "This insightful appreciation of musical instruments features more than one hundred extraordinary pieces from the Metropolitan Museum's collection. Whether created to entertain a royal court, provide personal solace, or aid in rites and rituals, these instruments fully demonstrate music's universal resonance and the ingenuity various cultures have deployed for musical expression. The results are astoundingly diverse: from Bronze Age cymbals and sistra to violins made by Stradivari, monumental slit drums from Oceania, and iconic twentieth-century American guitars. Stunning new photographs and a lively text reveal these objects to be works of both musical and visual art, as well as marvels of technology and masterpieces of design. Depictions of instruments and music making--paintings, statues, and pottery--further illuminate the narrative, providing a vivid counterpoint to these remarkable objects."--Publisher's description.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Art, Music & Recreation 784.19 Mo Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kailua Public Library Adult Nonfiction 784.19 Mo Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kaimuki Public Library Adult Nonfiction 784.19 Mo Checked In Add Copy to MyList Molokai Public Library Adult Nonfiction 784.19 Mo missing from shelf Add Copy to MyList Thelma Parker Memorial P/S Library Adult Nonfiction 784.19 Mo Checked In Add Copy to MyList
