Book excerpt: La 4ème de couverture indique : "Dans le Harlem des années cinquante, se nouent les destins de quatre adolescents : Julia l'enfant évangéliste qui enflamme les foules, Jimmy son jeune frère, Arthur le talentueux chanteur de gospel et Hall son frère aîné. Trente ans plus tard, Hall tente de faire le deuil d'Arthur et revient sur leur jeunesse pour comprendre la folle logique qui a guidé leur vie. Pourquoi Julia a-t-elle subitement cessé de prêcher ? Pourquoi le quartet s'est-il dispersé ? Pourquoi Arthur n'a-t-il jamais trouvé le bonheur ? Ce roman magistral, où la violence et l'érotisme sont constamment maîtrisés par la tendresse et l'humour du poète, est, comme l'écrit Alain Mabanckou, "l'un des plus beaux chants de fraternité, d'amour, d'espérance et d'expiation".

Download or read book The Oxford Handbook of Music Performance Volume 1 written by Gary McPherson and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2021-12-24 with total page 737 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The two-volume Oxford Handbook of Music Performance provides a resource that musicians, scholars and educators will use as the most important and authoritative overview of work within the areas of music psychology and performance science. The 80 experts from 13 countries who prepared the 53 chapters in this handbook are leaders in the fields of music psychology, performance science, musicology, psychology, education and music education. Chapters in the Handbook provide a broad coverage of the area with considerable expansion of the topics that are normally covered in a resource of this type. Designed around eight distinct sections - Development and Learning, Proficiencies, Performance Practices, Psychology, Enhancements, Health & Wellbeing, Science, and Innovations - the range and scope of The Oxford Handbook of Music Performance is much wider than other publications through the inclusion of chapters from related disciplines such as performance science (e.g., optimizing performance, mental techniques, talent development in non-music areas), and education (e.g., human development, motivation, learning and teaching styles) as well as the attention given to emerging critical issues in the field (e.g., wellbeing, technology, gender, diversity, inclusion, identity, resilience and buoyancy, diseases, and physical and mental disabilities). Within each chapter, authors have selected what they consider to be the most important scientific and artistic material relevant to their topic. They begin their chapters by surveying theoretical views on each topic and then, in the final part of the chapter, highlight practical implications of the literature that performers will be able to apply within their daily musical lives.

Download or read book The Story Grid written by Shawn Coyne and published by Black Irish Entertainment LLC. This book was released on 2015-05-02 with total page 459 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: WHAT IS THE STORY GRID? The Story Grid is a tool developed by editor Shawn Coyne to analyze stories and provide helpful editorial comments. It's like a CT Scan that takes a photo of the global story and tells the editor or writer what is working, what is not, and what must be done to make what works better and fix what's not. The Story Grid breaks down the component parts of stories to identify the problems. And finding the problems in a story is almost as difficult as the writing of the story itself (maybe even more difficult). The Story Grid is a tool with many applications: 1. It will tell a writer if a Story ?works? or ?doesn't work. 2. It pinpoints story problems but does not emotionally abuse the writer, revealing exactly where a Story (not the person creating the Story'the Story) has failed. 3. It will tell the writer the specific work necessary to fix that Story's problems. 4. It is a tool to re-envision and resuscitate a seemingly irredeemable pile of paper stuck in an attic drawer. 5. It is a tool that can inspire an original creation.
