{"product_id":"9781108038652","title":"My Musical Life (Cambridge Library Collection - Music)","description":"\u003cp\u003eHugh Reginald Haweis (1838–1901) was a clergyman and writer. Published in 1884, this memoir deals with one of his great interests: music. He was a proficient violinist, and his musical writings included books on church bell-ringing, violins, and the best-selling Music and Morals (also reissued in this series), which had reached its sixteenth edition by his death. As curate of St James, Westmoreland Street, he used musical events as a way of turning an empty church into a fashionable one. He acted as music critic for Truth and the Pall Mall Gazette, in addition to lecturing and writing on religious subjects. The book recounts a lifetime of making and enjoying music, and conveys Haweis' emotional response to music from an early age. It is a record of nineteenth-century musical performances and changing tastes, which also demonstrates Haweis' belief in the reforming influence of music on morals and society.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cambridge University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48726786965739,"sku":"00000_00000_00000_00000","price":144.66,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0758\/4484\/5803\/files\/9781108038652-1.jpg?v=1781655245","url":"https:\/\/kinokuniya.com.sg\/ja\/products\/9781108038652","provider":"Books Kinokuniya Singapore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
