Paris, 1925. Nineteen-year-old Dorothea Walker has fled the poverty and prejudice of St Louis for the glittering cabarets of the City of Light. But her dreams of stardom are quickly dimmed - pushed to the end of the chorus line, she's nearly invisible. Until one daring, scandalous performance catapults her into fame. For more than a decade, Dorothea dances her way across Paris and Europe, adored and envied in equal measure. But as the shadow of Nazi power spreads, she finds herself drawn into a world far more dangerous than the stage: the French Resistance. Forming an alliance with American promoter Joseph Smith, Dorothea embarks on her own high-stakes missions. With secrets hidden in sheet music and couture gowns lined with classified files, Dorothea plays a double game in clubs, salons, and occupied cities. But as the stakes get ever higher, not only is her job on the line - her life is, too. Dorothea must decide how far she's willing to go and how much she's willing to risk - not just for herself, but for the freedom of a country that became her home. Sweeping from the smoky nightclubs of Montmartre to the perilous under world of wartime espionage, The Last Star in Paris is a tale of ambition, survival, and one woman who refuses to be silenced.

Whether you are a low brass musician or an organist, you have an opportunity to explore a new and rewarding musical collaboration. This annotated bibliography provides information about 221 original pieces for solo trombone, euphonium, or tuba with organ. Annotations for each work include information about the composer, general stylistic comments, performance notes, and available recordings. My interest in low brass and organ began with an opportunity to play with a gifted and willing organist during my master's study. It grew into research for a doctoral paper. It's morphed into a mission to have this literature played more widely. Try it It will inject welcome variety into routine academic recitals. And it's a feast for the ears for the many who have never heard this rich combination of instruments. In here, you'll find solos spanning every dimension, from starched-collar serious to utterly laughable. From serene and reflective to bold and bombastic. From baroque to avant-garde. From easy to extremely challenging. Some are perfectly straightforward. Others require an array of mutes and every tricky technique that composers can imagine (and some you may wish they hadn't). There's something for everyone and every situation.
