Download or read book Burning in Blueness The Dark Light of a Countertenor written by Maxine Handy and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2011-06-21 with total page 275 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Burning in Blueness is a haunting memoir of the world's foremost countertenor James Bowman. The author lyrically portrays and interprets her affinity with the great man and his music. The text is in three parts covering a total of three decades, to include James' work with David Munrow, Britten and Pears, and as the voice of Robert King's five-year Purcell series. The account is not chronological, but traces the creative contact between the author's literary interests and James Bowman's musical genius. The book makes a valuable contribution to musical history, as the famous and intensely private countertenor himself, has always resisted the suggestion of a conventional biography. Burning in Blueness is part of James' legacy as he approaches his 70th birthday in 2011.

Download or read book The Eternity Beyond The Triple Helix written by Victor G. Henigan and published by PublishAmerica. This book was released on 2011-01-05 with total page 166 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Victor Henigan takes us on a unique journey from our world, down into the micro world of the atom, and beyond into the very realm of the architectural source of creation and on to Eternity. The Triple Helix published in the year 2000, is reviewed and visionary corrections are made based on NASA's 'WMAP' space probe. Following, he moves to define string theory at a level that is unique and quite understandable. Presenting a number of proofs for his farsighted prediction's, he follows with a sacred visionary writing that was written some fifty years ago, ending in eternity itself. Author Henigan, now in his eighties, is retired following a sixty year carrier in church music, during which he served many churches in the San Francisco bay area' sometimes as choir director, other times as organist, and many times as tenor soloist. For seven years in the sixties, as choir director at the Woodside Road United Methodist Church, he produced two beautiful recording albums of sacred music, 'Revelation' and 'Glory.' In addition to his church carrier, he was a member of the Orpheum Male Chorus, for ten years, and tenor soloist for the Sonoma County Men's Chorus, during the lifetime of the chorus under its founder. His musical studies include nine years of piano, one year of organ, and seven years of voice. In this effort we realize, as stated in 'The Witness of The Animation' that: All creation is housed within and upon a structure which in its true and pure existence is not given to structural form. The natural activity within and upon this existence is divine residence. That which exists within it in a state of natural activity is so flexible that it no longer remains in structural form. That which exists within it in a state of unnatural activity is in structural form. Man is in the image, or unnatural structural form, while God is in the natural existence.

Download or read book Gateways to Understanding Music written by Timothy Rice and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2022-11-14 with total page 505 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gateways to Understanding Music, Second Edition, explores music in all the categories that constitute contemporary musical experience: European classical, popular, jazz, and world music. Covering the oldest forms of human music making to the newest, this chronology presents music from a global rather than a Eurocentric perspective. Each of 60 "gateways" addresses a particular genre, style, or period of music. Every gateway opens with a guided listening example that unlocks a world of music through careful study of its structural elements. How did the piece come to be composed or performed? How did it respond to the social and cultural issues at the time, and what does that music mean today? Students learn to listen to, explain, understand, and ultimately value all the music they encounter in their world. New to this edition is a broader selection of musical examples that reflect the values of diversity, equity, and inclusion advocated by North American universities. Eight gateways have been replaced. A timeline of gateways helps students see the book’s historical narrative at a glance. Features Values orientation—Diverse, equitable, and inclusive approach to music history. All genres of music—Presents all music as worthy of study, including classical, world, popular, and jazz. Global scope within a historical narrative—Begins with small-scale forager societies up to the present, with a shifting focus from global to European to American influences. Recurring themes — Aesthetics, emotion, social life, links to culture, politics, economics, and technology. Modular framework—60 gateways—each with a listening example—allow flexibility to organize chronologically or by the seven themes. Consistent structure—With the same step-by-step format, students learn through repeated practice how to listen and how to think about music. Anthology of scores—For those courses that use the textbook in a music history sequence. Gateways to Understanding Music continues to employ a website to host the audio examples and instructor’s resources.
