Download or read book Triple Time written by Anne Sanow and published by University of Pittsburgh Press. This book was released on 2014-10-16 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For Jill, a young American living in Saudi Arabia in the 1980s, life is in “a holding pattern” of long days in a restrictive place-“sandlocked nowhere,” as another expat calls it. Others don't know how to leave, and try to adopt the country as their own. And to those who were born there, the changes seem to come at warp speed: Thurayya, the daughter of a Bedouin chief, later finds herself living in a Riyadh high-rise where, she says, there are “worlds wound together with years.” The characters in the linked stories in Triple Time are living an uneasy mesh of two divergent cultures, in a place where tradition and progress are continually in flux. These are tales of confliction-of old and new, rich and poor, sexual repression and personal freedom. We experience a barren yet strangely beautiful landscape jolted by sleek glass apartment towers and opulent fountains. On the fringes of urbanity, Bedouins traverse the desert in search of the next watering hole. Beneath a surface of cultural upheaval, the stories hold deeper, more personal meanings. They tell of yearnings-for a time lost, for a homeland, for belonging, and for love. Anne Sanow reveals much about the culture, psyche, and essence of life in modern Saudi Arabia, where Saudis struggle to keep their traditions and foreigners muddle through in search of a quick buck or a last chance at making a life for themselves in a world that is quickly running out of hiding places.

Download or read book The Triple Package written by Jed Rubenfeld and published by A&C Black. This book was released on 2014-02-05 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why do Jews win so many Nobel Prizes and Pulitzer Prizes? Why are Mormons running the business and finance sectors? Why do the children of even impoverished and poorly educated Chinese immigrants excel so remarkably at school? It may be taboo to say it, but some cultural groups starkly outperform others. The bestselling husband and wife team Amy Chua, author of Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother, and Jed Rubenfeld, author of The Interpretation of Murder, reveal the three essential components of success – its hidden spurs, inner dynamics and its potentially damaging costs – showing how, ultimately, when properly understood and harnessed, the Triple Package can put anyone on their chosen path to success.

Book excerpt: [Complete Play-Along tracks sold separately at the author's website - see below]Internalizing 2 against 3 is every musician's wish. As much as there are books extensively covering scale permutations, there are none that clearly illustrate all the possibilities that occur within the subdivisions of 2 and 3, in all their downbeats and upbeats, while also taking melodic motion into consideration.Training melodic motion awareness in rhythmic exercises is underrated while it is highly essential for any musician, especially the improvising jazz musician since being able to hear complex 2's and 3's patterns with changing pitches is integral to utmost freedom in phrasing. In this book, you will find 56 exercises in both, scalar and rhythmic notation, that will take you from the simple pattern of - half note triplet against whole notes - into the complex -syncopated 16th note triplets against syncopated 16th notes, hoping that along the way, this will help you achieve effortless sensitivity to swing and groove. Included with the eBook (sold separately) are play-along tracks of all 56 patterns with stereo separation so you can "hear" each pattern and practice against any line you wish.* Play-along tracks are available for download at www.tarekyamani.com/dupletriple* eBook (pdf version) + play-along tracks can also be purchased as a bundle from the author's website at www.tarekyamani.com/dupletriple

Download or read book Monteverdi written by Richard Wistreich and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-07-05 with total page 561 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Claudio Monteverdi is now recognized as the towering figure of a critical transitional moment of Western music history: relentless innovator in every genre within chamber, church and theatre music; self-proclaimed leader of a 'new dispensation' between words and their musical expression; perhaps even 'Creator of Modern Music'. During recent years, as his arrestingly attractive music has been brought back to life in performance, so too have some of the most outstanding musicologists focussed intensely on Monteverdi as they worked through the 'big' questions in the historiography and hermeneutics of early Baroque music, including musical representation of language; compositional theory; social, institutional, cultural and gender history; performance practices and more. The 17 articles in this volume have been selected by Richard Wistreich to exemplify the best scholarship in English and because each, in retrospect, turns out to have been a ground-breaking contribution to one or more significant strands in Monteverdi studies.
