Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Sheila of Big Wreck Cove: A Story of Cape Cod Seated on this sunshiny morning in his old arm chair of bent hickory, between his knees a cane on the head of which his gnarled hands rested, Captain Ira Ball was the true retired mariner of the old school. His ruddy face was freshly shaven, his scant, silvery hair well smoothed; everything was neat and trig about him, including his glazed, nar row-brimmed hat, his blue pilot-cloth coat, pleated shirt front as white as snow, heavy silver watch chain festooned upon his waist-coat, and blue-yarn socks showing between the bottom of his full, gray trouser legs and his well-blacked low shoes.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from She Loved a Sailor Love As A Sailor. "Far, far upon the sea, The good ship speeding free, Upon the deck we gather, young and old, And view the flapping sail, Spreading out before the gale, Full and round, without a wrinkle or a fold; Or watch the wave's that glide By the stately vessel's side, And the wild sea birds that follow through the air; Oh! gayly goes the ship when the wind blows fair!" "Follow, follow, round the earth, The green earth and the sea; So love is with the lover's heart, Wherever he may be." When the very old men of this generation were very young men, some of them may have stood upon the banks of the East River and watched the "Arethusa" come flying in before the wind, her deck crowded with homecoming Americans, and the English mail safe in her hold.

Download or read book Rhapsody in Red written by Sheila Melvin and published by Algora Publishing. This book was released on 2004 with total page 746 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Western classical music has become as Chinese as Peking Opera, and it has woven its way into the hearts and lives of ordinary Chinese people. This lucidly written account traces the biographies of the bold visionaries who carried out this musical merger. Rhapsody in Red is a history of classical music in China that revolves around a common theme: how Western classical music entered China, and how it became Chinese. Chinas oldest orchestra was founded in 1879, two years before the Boston Symphony. Since then, classical music has woven its way into the lives of ordinary Chinese people. Millions of Chinese children take piano and violin lessons every week. Yet, despite the importance of classical music in China -- and of Chinese classical musicians and composers to the world -- next to nothing has been written on this fascinating subject. The authors capture the events with the voice of an insider and the perspective of a Westerner, presenting new information, original research and insights into a topic that has barely been broached elsewhere. The only other significant books touching on this field are Pianos and Politics: Middle Class Ambitions and The Struggle Over Western Music by Richard Kurt Kraus (1989), and Barbara Mittler's Dangerous Tunes - The Politics of Chinese Music. Both target the academic market. Pianos focuses narrowly on the political aspects of the Cultural Revolution and subsequent re-opening. Rhapsody in Red is a far better read and benefits from considerably more research with primary source material in China over the past decade; and it covers classical music in general over all the history of East-West interaction. This book will appeal to a general readership interested in China -- the same readers who made "Wild Swans" a bestseller. It will also appeal to all who are interested in the future of classical music. It could easily be used for college courses on modern China, cultural history and ethnomusicology.
