Book SynopsisGives players the chance to explore their favourite Christmas songs in jazzy, easy-to-play arrangements. This title gives adults the opportunity to learn the piano with a method devised for them.Trade ReviewI enjoyed Pam Wedgwood's previous set of arrangements, and am equally impressed with this new collection. The pieces are gently progressive and aimed at players of around Grade 1-2 level. There is a good variety in terms of style, ranging from dreamy waltzes like In Dulci Jubilo and Quem Pastores, through brighter, more up-tempo numbers like Let It Snow and the only duet: Winter Wonderland - and even a couple of old favourites like White Christmas and Walking in the Air. The Virgin Mary Had a Baby Boy has a Caribbean flavour, and even the more traditional carols get a look in, with a most attractive setting of In the Bleak Midwinter and Adeste Fideles. Something for everyone here and very good value. Music Teacher, June 2007Table of ContentsLet It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow! (Cahn/Styne); We Wish You A Merry Christmas (Traditional); Past Three O'Clock (Traditional); In Dulci Jubilo (Traditional); White Christmas (Berlin); Il Est Ne Le Divin Enfant (Traditional); Coventry Carol Traditional); Ding, Dong Merrily On High (Arbeau); Walking In The Air (Blake); In The Bleak Midwinter (Holst); Santa Claus Is Comin' To Town (Coots/Gillespie); Quem Pastores Laudavere (Traditional); Christmas Song (Wells/Torme); The Virgin Mary Had A Baby Boy (Spiritual); Adeste Fideles (O Come, All Ye Faithful); Silent Night (Gruber); Winter Wonderland (Duet) (Smith/Bernard)

Book SynopsisThe first of three abridged volumes of 'the greatest diarist of our times'Trade ReviewJust as querulous, misanthropic, greedy, vain and fascinating as ever. One reads, one deplores - and reads on with vindictive delight * Patrick Skene-Caitling, Sunday Telegraph *The greatest diarist of our times - funny, feline and disconcertingly honest, wielding a rapier to Alan Clark's cudgel * Jeremy Lewis, The Oldie *His wonderful diaries demonstrates to anyone with eyes to see that he was a superb chronicler of the human condition * Hugh Massingberd, Spectator *'Funny, shrewd, waspish and wise ... Lees-Milne was the greatest diarist of this century, and one of its finest writers' * Jeremy Lewis, Literary Review *'Nothing short of phenomenal ... surely the finest diary of the 20th Century, truly a great masterpiece of English literature' * Hugh Massingberd, Country Life *'Without question one of the finest diarists of the 20th century' * Selina Hastings, Spectator *

Book SynopsisVinyl: A History of the Analogue Record is the first in-depth study of the vinyl record. Richard Osborne traces the evolution of the recording format from its roots in the first sound recording experiments to its survival in the world of digital technologies. This book addresses the record''s relationship with music: the analogue record was shaped by, and helped to shape, the music of the twentieth century. It also looks at the cult of vinyl records. Why are users so passionate about this format? Why has it become the subject of artworks and advertisements? Why are vinyl records still being produced? This book explores its subject using a distinctive approach: the author takes the vinyl record apart and historicizes its construction. Each chapter explores a different element: the groove, the disc shape, the label, vinyl itself, the album, the single, the b-side and the 12 single, and the sleeve. By anatomizing vinyl in this manner, the author shines new light on its impact and appeal.Trade ReviewA Yankee Book Peddler US Core Title for 2013 Special Mention, 2013 IASPM Book Prize. '...this book is actually one of the best and most engaging books on phonography and/or recording formats in recent years.' IASPM Book Prize Jury Finalist, 2013 Association for Recorded Sound Collections Awards for Excellence in Historical Recorded Sound Research, Best Historical Research on General Recording Topics. A Yankee Book Peddler UK Core Title for 2012 Classified as 'Research Essential' by Baker & Taylor YBP Library Services 'Hats off to the excellent Richard Osborne for producing a thoroughly engaging and enjoyable romp through the musical history of polyvinyl chloride... The author has produced a valuable collection of sound bites and snapshots of what the 20th century sounded like.' Times Higher Education '... a well-written and thoroughly engaging précis of vinyl’s journey from its origins to its constantly shifting presence throughout the 20th Century.' Record Collector '... Richard Osborne has just released the most perfect book: a history of vinyl that does not neglect aesthetic or interpretative considerations, but focuses also on hard facts, and pays attention to technology, and economics... Osborne’s book proves a fascinating and essential read, and an elegant one at that.' InMedia 'Richard Osborne has produced a concise, readable, and well-researched historical study of the vinyl record. The text is not overloaded with scholarly apparatus, although Osborne supports his argument with quotations from primary sources... Vinyl would be an excellent addition to large public libraries as well as academic institutions that teach popular music and the history of recorded music.' CAML (Canadian Association of Music Libraries) Review '... a thoughtful discussion of the relationship between human senses and the physical aspect of records that makes them enduring objects of cultural interest... a fine introduction to both the history of recorded sound and the cuTable of ContentsIntroduction; Chapter 1 The Groove; Chapter 2 The Disc; Chapter 3 The Label; Chapter 4 Vinyl; Chapter 5 The LP; Chapter 6 The 45; Chapter 7 The B-Side and the 12” Single; Chapter 8 The Sleeve; conclusion Conclusion;
