Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ogni foresta incantata, nel cui cuore si cela una splendida cascata rombante, è AcquaBosco, e tutte le valli ed i campi sono dimora delle Fate, creature fantastiche ed irreali. Comunque appaiano alle nostre menti sognanti, pazze, oscure, con colorate ali di farfalla o con ali trasparenti come vetro, queste splendide, fragili creature avvolte dal mistero, difficili da scorgere se non col potere della nostra mente, ammalieranno ancora a lungo noi uomini mortali e ci porteranno ad immaginarle e sognarle ancora e ancora, alimentando la nostra fantasia e allontanandoci dallo squallore della realtà e dalla monotonia della vita umana...

Download or read book An Interpretive Guide to Operatic Arias written by Martial Singher and published by Penn State Press. This book was released on 2015-09-22 with total page 347 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A premier singer and master teacher here tells other singers how to get the most from 151 famous arias selected for their popularity or their greatness from 66 operas, ranging in time and style from Christopher Gluck to Carlisle Floyd, from Mozart to Menotti. “The most memorable thrills in an opera singer's life,” according to the author's Introduction, “may easily derive from the great arias in his or her repertoire.” This book continues the work Martial Singher has done, in performances, in concerts, and in master classes and lessons, by drawing attention “not only to precise features of text, notes, and markings but also to psychological motivations and emotional impulses, to laughter and tears, to technical skills, to strokes of genius, and even here and there to variations from the original works that have proved to be fortunate.” For each aria, the author gives the dramatic and musical context, advice about interpretation, and the lyric—with the original language (if it is not English) and an idiomatic American English translation, in parallel columns. The major operatic traditions—French, German, Italian, Russian, and American—are represented, as are the major voice types—soprano, mezzo-soprano, tenor, baritone, bass-baritone, and bass. The dramatic context is not a mere summary of the plot but is a penetrating and often witty personality sketch of an operatic character in the midst of a situation. The musical context is presented with the dramatic situation in a cleverly integrated way. Suggestions about interpretation, often illustrated with musical notation and phonetic symbols, are interspersed among the author's explication of the music and the action. An overview of Martial Singher’s approach—based on fifty years of experience on stage in a hundred roles and in class at four leading conservatories—is presented in his Introduction. As the reader approaches each opera discussed in this book, he or she experiences the feeling of participation in a rehearsal on stage under an urbane though demanding coach and director. The Interpretive Guide will be of value to professional singers as a source of reference or renewed inspiration and a memory refresher, to coaches for checking and broadening personal impressions, to young singers and students for learning, to teachers who have enjoyed less than a half century of experience, and to opera broadcast listeners and telecast viewers who want to understand what goes into the sounds and sights that delight them.

Book excerpt: For the past two years, Bailey Morgan has lived a double life: high school student by day, ancient mystical being by night. As the third Fate, Bailey literally controls the fate of the world, but as Plain Old Bailey, her life is falling apart. She’s got a tattoo that was supposed to be temporary (but isn’t), friendships that were supposed to last forever (but might not), and no idea what her future holds after high school graduation. Then Bailey meets the rest of the Sidhe, an ancient race defined by their power, beauty, and a sinister habit of getting what they want at any cost. Before Bailey knows it, she’s being drawn into an otherworldly web more complicated than anything she weaves as a mortal Fate.

Download or read book Sea of Lights written by Yael Remen and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2009-08-03 with total page 644 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Yaakov Eliyhu Binder had been through a frightening experience in the past, mirroring the terror and pain which existed in his life. He repeatedly told his unforgettable memory to his young children, but for his son, Avremele, the tale served as inspiration. Sea of Lights is the story of Avraham Binder, a perceptive boy who came of age in a time of strife and social chaos, but thanks to his sensitivity to beauty, noticed the loveliness of his universe and the goodness of man. Sea of Lights author, Yael Remen, takes you to the Jewish ghetto in Vilnius, Lithuania, in the opening years of the twentieth century. Avremeles devout mother expected him to be a rabbi, and his father hoped he would become a bookbinder, like him, but the boy was attracted to art. Pursuing his dream, he enrolled in art school. When his passion for art merged with Zionist fervor, he migrated to Palestine, under the British Mandate, becoming a member of the vibrant bohemian circle of Tel Aviv. While creating art in tempestuous years of war, political strife, and economic hardship, Avraham nurtured relationships with three pivotal womenhis mother, his sister, and his wife, each one inspiring and stimulating him in a different way. Looking at the world, Avremele saw a sea of lights, and in response, created light-splashed images of his environment. Innately a pacifist, moved by love and tolerance, his art reflected his outlook on life, providing a haven of peace and harmony for his viewers.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Italy is more strongly influenced by the experiences of migrants than many other European countries. This includes an historically ongoing internal migration from the south to the north, which is strongly echoed in neo-realism; a mass emigration mainly to western Europe and North and South America that is connected with mafia films, among others, in Italy's collective imaginary; as well as a more recent immigration influx from the southwestern Mediterranean, which is dealt with at a film leve...
Download or read book L Impietratrice written by Vittorio Imbriani and published by eBook Free. This book was released on 2014-10-25 with total page 313 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La sterminata erudizione dell’Imbriani, che nei romanzi è usata per sviare sardonicamente la narrazione, in questa “panzana”, tale è definita dall’autore, è usata per avviare invece la possibilità d’un diverso svolgimento storico, d’un’ucronia. Che il duca Valentino dopo la sconfitta in Italia sia morto in Spagna, è storia solo per chi conosce appena le fonti più note. Per chi come Imbriani è a conoscenza di tante rarità librarie, l’ultima parte di vita di Cesare Borgia ha ben altro esito. Che poi questo scorcio di biblioteca imbrianesca che sorregge la tesi storica, “preborgesianamente”, come è stato detto, mescoli edizioni false ma plausibili a edizioni vere ma improbabili, come può il povero lettore, impotente di fronte a tanto sfoggio di cultura, accorgersene? E così citazione dopo citazione libresca Cesare Borgia raggiunge il nuovo mondo e convince per amore la medusa azteca, la bellissima principessa che pietrifica chiunque la fissi negli occhi, Ciaciunena l’impietratrice, a essere strumento della sua vendetta e cambiare il corso storico delle cose italiane. Ma innamoratosi anche lui, l’audacia e la confidenza che anche come amante dimostra lo perde, e viene inavvertitamente pietrificato dalla fanciulla. Che disperata, vuole almeno portare a termine la vendetta dell’uomo che amava, e giunge in Vaticano alla presenza di Giulio II per pietrificare il papa e tutta la sua corte. Ma, com’è come non è, i suoi poteri lapidificatori decadono in questo emisfero e Giulio II scampa alla pietrificazione quanto al corpo; «quanto al cuore dell’augusto vegliardo, già da prima e da un pezzo era di sasso, di macigno, di scoglio», come lapidariamente – è il caso di dire – soggiunge l’explicit di questa serissima panzana. Neppure nel gioco letterario l’acre pessimismo d’Imbriani che colora di tragico il cinico e il beffardo della sua intuizione del mondo si placa. Né la storia d’Italia sa mutarsi in meglio e far pendere le sorti in favore della santa ambizione di Cesare Borgia d’unificarla. Sicché questa panzana che così bizzarramente illustra il suo pessimismo scava ben a fondo nelle scelte politiche d’Imbriani mettendo in luce e mostrando una delle convinzioni e degli atteggiamenti che infondono il suo spirito reazionario.
