Product Information
This collection of essays, written in honour of the eminent architectural historian Paul Crossley, brings together some of the most distinguished scholars of medieval art and architecture from the United States and many parts of Europe. Covering a broad spectrum of topics and approaches including recent discoveries, new interpretations and critical debates, this book and its counterpart Image, Memory and Devotion (also published in the Studies in Gothic Art series) offer a fitting tribute to the exceptional range of Professor Crossley's intellectual interests, while providing invaluable insights into the present study of the Middle Ages.

Reviews
[A] volume to cherish for its documentary insights. . . . Work Songs is alive with feeling and sensitivity. Though the subject may sound academic, this material is by no means dry. The pages burst with intensity and emotion. Many thanks to Gioia for a fine book, one that is both a scholar's delight and a reader's sweet dessert! Highly recommended., "[A] stimulating and well researched journey right back to the dawn of music. . . . Gioia's handling of the material is exemplary, and although he has undertaken an impressive amount of research and condenses a tremendous amount of information, his writing moves along with a briskness and vitality. . . . The musical history "Work Songs "powerfully details offers a glimpse of how we can re-establish a vital link between music and our everyday lives. . . ." --Mike Barnes, "The Wire", "In this unique companion to his "Healing Songs," noted scholar Gioia poignantly tells the story of work songs sung by everyone from prehistoric hunters to today's consumers. . . . [H]e succeeds in making the broader connections of the big picture: that music exists for us all. This book provides an opportunity to re-experience the history and dignity of our human toils. Highly recommended for public and academic libraries." --Elizabeth M. Wavle," Library Journal", "In previous books, Ted Gioia proved himself one of our most incisive thinkers about jazz. Now he has integrated vast expanses of knowledge and recordings from cultures across the globe to shed valuable new light on work songs. A dazzling accomplishment."--John Edward Hasse, Curator of American Music, National Museum of American History, Smithsonian Institution "Ted Gioia enriches and makes real the powerful message that music is, and has always been, an integral part of the toolkit that ordinary humans have used to navigate life. He shows that, far from being a pastime to fill idle moments or a distraction from everyday preoccupations, music addresses fundamental issues of human existence, survival, and liberation. Gioia's work offers hope to those who fear that the corporate mass media may have suffocated the age-old impulse of ordinary people to make music their own."--John Sloboda, author of Exploring the Musical Mind " . . . a stimulating and well researched journey right back to the dawn of music . . . "--The Wire, May 2006 "Work Songs explores the vast body of music created to ease the burden of physical hard labour, from the yam-pounding songs of Ghana to the coal-mining songs of Northumberland . . . engaging and humane . . . "--The Daily Telegraph, 9 September 2006 "These are fascinating works of musical history which aim at putting two song genres fairly and squarely into their most basic context--human need. Gioia is a pianist and composer linked to Stanford University in the States, and here reinforces his reputation for combining inquisitive scholarship with lucid readability."--Classical Music, 12 May 2007, "In previous books, Ted Gioia proved himself one of our most incisive thinkers about jazz. Now he has integrated vast expanses of knowledge and recordings from cultures across the globe to shed valuable new light on work songs. A dazzling accomplishment."--John Edward Hasse, Curator of American Music, National Museum of American History, "Ted Gioia enriches and makes real the powerful message that music is, and has always been, an integral part of the toolkit that ordinary humans have used to navigate life.

Gioia's work offers hope to those who fear that the corporate mass media may have suffocated the age-old impulse of ordinary people to make music their own."--John Sloboda, author of Exploring the Musical Mind, This is a wonderful book. Work Songs invites the reader into the best of two worlds--serious theory and fun content. It is written in a clear and easy style, sprinkled here and there with verbal wit and passionate eloquence., "In previous books, Ted Gioia proved himself one of our most incisive thinkers about jazz.

[T]he breadth and surprising depth of the stories Gioia chooses to tell makes this transformative nature of work songs even more palatable. . . . In Gioia's examination of music through Work Songs, he confirms that people of all ages and professions value songs for how music connects us to our human experiences--our activities, our hopes, our fantasies, and our despair." --Aubrey Berger Cardany, "Kodaly Envoy", [A] stimulating and well researched journey right back to the dawn of music. . . .
