Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Song and Story From Les Cheneaux: Vacation Memories Early Morning at Mackinac. Night yields to morning, and the fairy island sleeps On Huron's placid breast. The fleecy covering Which water-sprites with magic fingers nightly weave, Moves lightly on the gently throbbing waves, as moves The drapery o'er the sleeping form of one we love. The birds within the arbor-vitae groves begin, In piping notes, to tell the near approach of day. The breezes bring sweet odors from the pine-clad rocks And fling the fragrant incense o'er the quiet lake. Phoebus, with laughing eye, looks on the drowsy East, Which straightway blushes as a maiden innocent, And, smiling, leaves her couch to greet the coming god. The fort upon the hill as yet shows naught of life, Its white walls looming up like specters of the past, Hoary with history, and strong yet beautiful. The boats at anchor in the bay are touched with light. Bois Blanc appears; its forest in the distance seems A bold, deep graven line, made by a master's hand. Above, with lighter touch, Aurora paints the clouds, While earth and vapor, lake and sky unite To form this charming, changing, ever-brightening scene. And now, the far-off light that flashed throughout the night To guide the mariner, goes out. The stars that shone With equal brilliancy from higher towers, grow faint. The heavy shadows of the night are rolled away. The misty curtains part and leave the lake revealed. To clothe its lovely form in well-becoming dress, The sky throws down a robe of blue, flecked o'er with gold; The trees along the shore in varying shades of green, Embroider it, and as the morning light breaks full Over Lake Huron, still upon its breast is seen, Like purest emerald, the Island Mackinac.

Download or read book Earth s Wild Music written by Kathleen Dean Moore and published by Catapult. This book was released on 2022-02-22 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At once joyous and somber, this thoughtful gathering of new and selected essays spans Kathleen Dean Moore's distinguished career as a tireless advocate for environmental activism in the face of climate change. In this meditation on the music of the natural world, Moore celebrates the call of loons, howl of wolves, bellow of whales, laughter of children, and shriek of frogs, even as she warns of the threats against them. Each group of essays moves, as Moore herself has been moved, from celebration to lamentation to bewilderment and finally to the determination to act in defense of wild songs and the creatures who sing them. Music is the shivering urgency and exuberance of life ongoing. In a time of terrible silencing, Moore asks, who will forgive us if we do not save nature's songs?

Download or read book A New Song for China written by Allen Artz Wiant and published by Trafford Publishing. This book was released on 2003 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bliss Wiant went to China in 1923 with the lofty goal of some day introducing hymns to Chinese Christians that would not sound foreign to them. It was a goal that occupied much of his life. The locale of his work was Yenching University, which was arguably the premier institution of higher education in China. There he established a department of music, and enabled students to discover and develop their musical talents. There also he taught students who had never before seen a western musical score, to sing and to love Handel's Messiah and other great music of the west. In less than 10 years after its first performance, the reputation of the university chorus was such that it was invited by the government of China to present the Messiah in Nanking, the national capitol, as the finale to a two-week exposition of the arts. A major milestone in the pursuit of his life's goal was reached in that same year (1937), when a hymnal (English Title, "Hymns of Universal Praise") was published. This was the culmination of years of collaborative effort involving scores of individuals. Not only was the hymnal a uniquely inter-denominational achievement, it also included for the first time, a substantial number of original, indigenous hymns. Wiant's work in China produced in him a great love for the people as well as a deep admiration for their culture, which he saw both as misunderstood and unappreciated in the U.S. Consequently he devoted much of his energy in the years that followed to being a cultural ambassador, representing China to his own countrymen. An important manifestation of this was his work and that of his wife, Mildred, in translating into English a number of the Chinese hymns that first appeared in Hymns of Universal Praise. Several of these are now found in hymns used in the U.S., in effect closing a circle begun when Wiant went to China in 1923.
