Cambridge University Press The Cambridge Companion to Wagners Der Ring Des
Book SynopsisThe Companion is an essential, interdisciplinary tool for those both familiar and unfamiliar with Wagner''s Ring. It opens with a concise introduction to both the composer and the Ring, introducing Wagner as a cultural figure, and giving a comprehensive overview of the work. Subsequent chapters, written by leading Wagner experts, focus on musical topics such as ''leitmotif'', and structure, and provide a comprehensive set of character portraits, including leading players like Wotan, Brünnhilde, and Siegfried. Further chapters look to the mythological background of the work and the idea of the Bayreuth Festival, as well as critical reception of the Ring, its relationship to Nazism, and its impact on literature and popular culture, in turn offering new approaches to interpretation including gender, race and environmentalism. The volume ends with a history of notable stage productions from the world premiere in 1876 to the most recent stagings in Bayreuth and elsewhere.Trade Review'This Companion fully captures the richness and all too human complexity of this astonishing work, offering up multiple paths for us each to find our way to its heart.'

Bloomsbury Publishing Plc The Ukulele Handbook
Book SynopsisThe definitive illustrated guide to the ukulele, from its history to how to play, including a fantastic songbook. The ukulele has gone from strength to strength in recent years, undergoing a massive resurgence. You can hear the uke all over the place, from trendster indie rock to top ten pop songs, from unshakeable TV ads to YouTube megahits. And this obsession shows no sign of abating - all over the country people are picking up a ukulele and starting to strum, at home, in classes and down at the pub. Schools are even replacing the faithful recorder with a jazzy, inexpensive uke. Famous idlers Gavin Pretor-Pinney and Tom Hodgkinson have spent hours idling away on their ukuleles to produce the ultimate uke handbook: an illustrated guide to its history crossed with a how-to guide and songbook. This is the book that will bring the underground movement into the mainstream. The first half of the book delves into the rich history of this eccentric little instrument, from its birth in Hawaii to its popularity across the world, with a timeline from 1879 to today and a ukulele hall of fame that includes George Formby, Hawaiian legend Israel Kamakawiwo''ole and YouTube ukulele superstar Jake Shimabukuro. Then on to the practicalities: the anatomy of the ukulele, which uke to buy, how to play it, how to strum, pick, read chord charts and tune the strings. Once you know all this, you can get playing the songbook, which includes a wide spread of songs from medieval lays and nursery rhymes to blues and rock ''n roll. Beautiful presentation and tab notation make reading the music easy, even for beginners. With the highest production values, a light touch and an irresistible instrument at centre stage, this book is a must-have for all aspiring Formbys.

Book SynopsisThe Rivered Earth contains four libretti written by Vikram Seth to be set to music by Alec Roth - together with an account of the pleasures and pains of working with a composer.Entitled 'Songs in Time of War', 'Shared Ground', 'The Traveller' and 'Seven Elements', they take us all over the world - from Chinese and Indian poetry to the beauty and quietness of the Salisbury house where the poet George Herbert lived and died.Spanning centuries of creativity and humanity, these poems pulse with life, energy and inspired brilliance.They are accompanied by four pieces of calligraphy by the author.Trade ReviewThe language has a remarkably direct, almost naive fullness of rhythm and rhyme . . . extraordinary - GUARDIANVikram Seth is already the best writer of his generation - THE TIMESA phenomenon, a prodigy, a marvel ... It is hard to believe that Seth is only one man - EVENING STANDARDSuch writing reminds us that there are secrets beyond technique, beyond style, which have to do with a quality of soul on the part of the writer, a giving of oneself - Guardian on A SUITABLE BOYA SUITABLE BOY may prove to be the most fecund as well as the most prodigious work of the latter half of this century - perhaps even the book to restore the serious reading public's faith in the contemporary novel . . .

Oxford University Press Lulajze Jezuniu Lullaby Jesus child
Book Synopsisfor SATB (with SAT solos) unaccompaniedLulajze, Jezuniu is a dual-language arrangement of a well-known Polish carol, presented with the original Polish text and an English singing translation by the composer. Chilcott gives the exquisite melody of this gentle lullaby, sung to Jesus and Mary, to the alto soloist, setting it above a mellifluous background of rich harmonies and gentle polyphony from the choir. Lulajze, Jezuniu has been recorded by NFM Wroclaw Philharmonic Choir on the CD The Seeds of Stars.Trade ReviewThis familiar and lovely Polish carol (with both Polish and English texts) is set beautifully by Chilcott - of course! The chorus parts are simple and provide a lovely blanket of sound supporting the solo verses. The alto solo takes the melody with the soprano and tenor solos providing harmony. * Philip Brunelle, American Guild of Organists Journal, Sept 13 *
