Download or read book A Guide to the Latin American Art Song Repertoire written by Stela M. Brandão and published by Indiana University Press. This book was released on 2010-04-29 with total page 369 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A reference guide to the vast array of art song literature and composers from Latin America, this book introduces the music of Latin America from a singer's perspective and provides a basis for research into the songs of this richly musical area of the world. The book is divided by country into 22 chapters, with each chapter containing an introductory essay on the music of the region, a catalog of art songs for that country, and a list of publishers. Some chapters include information on additional sources. Singers and teachers may use descriptive annotations (language, poet) or pedagogical annotations (range, tessitura) to determine which pieces are appropriate for their voices or programming needs, or those of their students. The guide will be a valuable resource for vocalists and researchers, however familiar they may be with this glorious repertoire.
Download or read book G ographie linguistique et biologie du langage Autour de Jules Gilli ron written by Elizabeth A. Livingstone and published by Peeters Publishers. This book was released on 1993 with total page 456 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Papers presented at the Eleventh International Conference on Patristic Studies held in Oxford 1991 (see also Studia Patristica 24, 25, 26 and 28). The successive sets of Studia Patristica contain papers delivered at the International Conferences on Patristic Studies, which meet for a week once every four years in Oxford; they are held under the aegis of the Theology Faculty of the University. Members of these conferences come from all over the world and most offer papers. These range over the whole field, both East and West, from the second century to a section on the Nachleben of the Fathers. The majority are short papers dealing with some small and manageable point; they raise and sometimes resolve questions about the authenticity of documents, dates of events, and such like, and some unveil new texts. The smaller number of longer papers put such matters into context and indicate wider trends. The whole reflects the state of Patristic scholarship and demonstrates the vigour and popularity of the subject.

Download or read book Behind Spanish American Footlights written by Willis Knapp Jones and published by University of Texas Press. This book was released on 2014-07-29 with total page 626 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Across a five-hundred-year sweep of history, Willis Knapp Jones surveys the native drama and the Spanish influence upon it in nineteen South American countries, and traces the development of their national theatres to the 1960s. This volume, filled with a fascinating array of information, sparkles with wit while giving the reader a fact-filled course in the history of Spanish American drama that he can get nowhere else. This is the first book in English ever to consider the theatre of all the Spanish American countries. Even in Spanish, the pioneer study that covers the whole field was also written by Jones. Jones sees the history of a nation in the history of its drama. Pre-Columbian Indians, conquistadores, missionary priests, viceroys, dictators, and national heroes form a background of true drama for the main characters here—those who wrote and produced and acted in the make-believe drama of the times. The theatre mirrors the whole life of the community, Jones believes, and thus he offers information about geography, military events, and economics, and follows the politics of state and church through dramatists’ offerings. Examining the plays of a people down the centuries, he shows how the many cultural elements of both Old and New Worlds have been blended into the distinct national characteristics of each of the Spanish American countries. He does full justice to the subject he loves. A lively storyteller, he adds tidbits of spice and laughter, long-buried vignettes of history, tales of politics and drama, stories of high and low life, plots of plays, bits of verse, accounts of dalliance and of hard work, and sad and happy endings of rulers and peons, dramatists, actors, and clowns. A valuable appendix is a selected reading guide, listing the outstanding works of important Spanish American dramatists. A generous bibliography is a useful addition for scholars.
Download or read book Manuel Machado written by Gordon Brotherston and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2010-06-03 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A biographical and critical study of the Spanish poet Manuel Machado (1874-1947), who was highly thought of in his lifetime but who, since his death, declined in popularity. His brother, Antonio, whom he once overshadowed, became more widely read. The first half of the book is biographical, setting Machado against the general literary background in Spain, and estimating his debt to French influence. Dr Brotherston deals in some detail with the Modernista movement, so that the study is almost an account of Spanish literary life of the time. The second half of the book is critical; Dr Brotherston wishes to show the fine quality of certain poems, and to affirm Machado's real importance and distinction. The generous bibliography will be useful to readers closely concerned with Machado and his period.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sin Permiso Para Entrar – en palabras de la misma autora- “...es una recopilación de escritos logrados gracias a la magia de la invisibilidad, condición que tengo la dicha de poseer, a voluntad, desde hace años. Cruzar puertas sin ser vista siempre fue algo que desee poder hacer. Ahora, simplemente, puedo....” “....La única diferencia entre las dos secciones de “Sin Permiso Para Entrar” es que, la primera es un compendio de diálogos escuchados y transcritos textualmente dentro de algunos lugares que, en ese momento, se encontraban habitados. En la segunda parte no hago más que compartir mis experiencias tras abrir puertas que me llevan a espacios no habitados, donde, es el alma de aquellos ausentes, la que me habla. Siempre dejamos atrás indicios inequívocos de lo que realmente somos cuando no estamos. Cuando hemos salido a ganar el pan, siempre dejamos el alma en casa. Yo no toco nada. Solo escucho o descubro....”

Book excerpt: ¿Tenemos realmente un destino escrito o elegimos cómo queremos vivir? Pregunta formulada por el hombre desde el principio de los tiempos. María, Javier, Bryan, Stephania, Johan, Crystal, Katherine y Sebastián: ocho jóvenes que viven sus vidas de acuerdo a las circunstancias que les han tocado. Ocho vidas reunidas por un plan mucho más grande que las suyas y que se entrelazarán de manera casual para formar un club que los unirá por siempre. Esta es una historia conmovedora impregnada de dolor, tristeza y frustración ante la existencia que a cada quien le correspondió llevar, pero también es una historia de esperanza, alegría, amor y reconciliación, al encontrar en aquellos que llegan a sus vidas, el apoyo y la luz que necesitan para salir adelante. Llega un punto en nuestras vidas donde nos damos cuenta de quien importa, quien no, y quien siempre será importante. Cuando los problemas amenazan la amistad, y la oscuridad nos hace perder de vista lo que realmente importa... sigue adelante, y hallarás una luz en el camino.

Book excerpt: ¿Tienes algo para mí? Amigo con esto no compras ni el pronóstico del clima en un día nublado. Eso es, ya estamos progresando, pero todavía puedes hacerlo mejor. Ah por cierto, perdón por mi falta de modales, pero uno nunca es demasiado precavido. Ahora dime ¿Qué puedo hacer por ti? ¿El origen del Linaje? Lo que pides no es cualquier cosa. Vampiros. Una palabra muy en boga en nuestros días que no define a la sociedad de los no-muertos, sus luchas intestinas, su pasado envuelto en un halo de misterio. Tampoco su futuro, encarnado en un asesino de sonrisa macabra. Estas páginas son un atisbo al Linaje, un mundo oculto que bien puede encontrarse al borde del colapso.
