Rachmaninoff: Composer, Pianist, Conductor

Barrie Martyn

Scolar Press
1990
sidottu
This study is the first to consider all three of Rachmaninoff's careers in detail. After surveying his place in Russian musical history and his creative activity, the author examines, with musical examples, each working chronological order against the background of the composer's life. Among the the many subjects upon which new light is shed are the operas, the songs, and the religious music. Rachmaninoff's remarkable career as a pianist, his style of playing and repertoire are analysed along with his historically important contribution to the gramophone and his work for the reproducing piano. The book includes a survey of his activity as a conductor. There are extensive references to Russian sources and the first appearance of a complete Rachmaninoff disconography is included. This book is the only comprehensive study in any language of the three aspects of Rachmaninoff's musical career and is a stimulating read for music lovers everywhere.

Scolar Press

Nicholas Medtner (1880-1951) has always been a neglected figure in the history of Russian music, and yet his friend Rachmaninoff considered him the greatest of contemporary composers. He wrote three fine piano concertos, more than one hundred solo piano compositions, including a cycle of fourteen sonatas fully worthy to be set alongside those of Scriabin and Prokofiev, and many beautiful songs. He was also a great pianist. Leaving Russia after the Bolshevik Revolution, Medtner lived for a time in Germany and France before finally settling in London, where he passed the final sixteen years of his life. The present work is the first to tell the full story of his eventful life and to consider in turn each of his compositions. The author has drawn on Medtner’s own correspondence and writings and collected the reminiscences of those who knew him personally to build a comprehensive picture of a great, if still largely unrecognised, musician.

He spent his early career performing in different bands, which helped him refine his skills and create his own distinctive style. A major turning point came in 1968 when Barre joined Jethro Tull, launching an illustrious career. His iconic riff in 'Aqualung' is widely recognized as one of the best guitar riffs in rock history and was also voted as one of the top rock guitar solos of all time by Guitar Player magazine readers.

Martíneztown, 1945: Tales of Life and Loss in an Albuquerque Barrio

Nasario García

Unm Press

nidottu
Nasario Garcia's poignant memoir revisits the 1940s Albuquerque neighborhood of his youth to capture the struggles and joys of growing up in Albuquerque's oldest barrio. In the summer of 1945, nine-year-old Junie is transplanted from the idyllic setting of his family ranch in the R o Puerco valley to Albuquerque's oldest barrio, Mart neztown, home and refuge for Nuevomexicanos seeking better opportunities in the wake of World War II. Young Junie finds comfort in some of the community's familiar Hispanic traditions as he struggles to learn a new language and navigate this often confusing and challenging new environment. Through the boy's eyes we meet an extraordinary cast of characters and urban survivors on an intercultural journey into modern New Mexico. To read this remarkable collection is to enter a time machine and travel into a world where neighbors help neighbors as they celebrate life and confront life's tragedies and heartaches side by side. These connected stories serve as an elegy for an era too important to relegate to the forgotten past. Mart neztown, 1945 transcends its specific time, place, and culture to become a universal testament to our shared humanity with all of its confounding imperfections and sporadic splendor.

El presente libro es un estudio de caso etnogr fico de un asentamiento de afromexicanos de la Costa Chica de Guerrero y Oaxaca en una de las colonias del puerto de Acapulco. Dicho espacio ha sido nombrado por sus mismo integrantes y por sus vecinos pr ximos como barrio negro. Quienes lo conforman son hombres y mujeres originarios de comunidades rurales que emigraron al puerto entre las d cadas de los setenta y ochenta, para emplearse en los sectores de la construcci n y los servicios, dado que Acapulco se consolidaba como uno de los primeros centros vacacionales de sol y playa en M xico y demandaba mano de obra. Estos sujetos una vez en el puerto formaron sus propias familias y se establecieron de manera conjunta en las inmediaciones de la bah a Santa Luc a. Dichas personas han logrado recrearse social y culturalmente formando un enclave tnico caracter stico que marca un contraste f sico, social y cultural con el entorno de infraestructura tur stica polarizante que lo rodea. Los temas que se abordan aqu son referentes a la configuraci n de identidades, territorio y redes sociales que nos acercan a desentramar este espacio territorial y a sus sujetos sociales.

The Myth of the 200 Barrier

The Myth of the 200 Barrier

Kevin E. Martin

Abingdon Press
2005
pokkari
"This is the best book I have ever read on congregational development! I wish I had written it." (Lyle E. Schaller, Parish Consultant) The common experience of large congregations getting larger and small congregations getting smaller has given rise to the belief that growing congregations tend to hit a barrier at the 150-200 attendance mark. The dividing line in American Church attendance is 150 people on an average Sunday. Churches below this seem to have a harder time growing. Above this, churches seem to have an easier time growing. Trying to grow a smaller church can feel like trying to break through what Martin calls the 200 barrier. Martin explains that there is no barrier; there are just two different ways of being a church the Pastoral Size church and the Program church. The Transitional Church is really a hybrid of these two cultures, and this dual nature produces stress and tension where the idea of a 200 barrier often becomes a self-fulfilling expectation. How does the Pastor Size church culture really work? What are the key elements of the larger American Church? How does this create a large church culture that becomes self-supporting? Martin looks at these elements and shows how the Transitional Church can avoid mistakes in their effort to grow beyond the barrier, and why transformation and change is so difficult. Drawing on sociological and anthropological studies about the significance of numbers in human organizations, Martin proposes practical steps that leaders of Transitional Churches will want to take."

Socialdemokratin går mot ett avgörande vägskäl när den nyliberala eran närmar sig sitt slut. Att ensam fortsätta försvara åtstramningspolitiken efter att högern övergett den i spåren av kostnadskrisen ter sig osannolikt. Men vad är alternativet? I den här boken bygger tio socialdemokrater ett fundament för hur en välståndsskapande ekonomisk politik skulle kunna se ut, där människan sätts i centrum. Genom attkombinera ekonomisk analys med praktiska policyförslag visar författarna hur vi kan skapa ett samhälle där alla har möjlighet att utvecklas och bidra. Nationens välstånd visar att framtiden är vår att skapa. En politik där människan sätts i centrum är möjlig. Samhället är trots allt människans verk.

The remarkable true story that became a viral news sensation.Former Royal Engineer Sean Laidlaw was working as a bomb disposal expert in Syria when he heard whimpering from the rubble of a school that had exploded and collapsed. Upon further inspection he found that the source of the noise was a tiny, abandoned puppy, surrounded by her four dead siblings. A terrified Barrie initially rejected Sean's advances - but he refused to give up. He made sure she was safe and brought her food and drink, and cordoned off the area to ensure it was safe from explosives. After a few days Barrie grew to trust Sean and eventually the two became inseparable in the three months he was in Syria.Sean had to return to the UK, leaving Barrie behind. When his contract wasn't renewed he knew he had to bring Barrie home. The two created an unbreakable bond and they were reunited in emotional scenes that have made headlines all over the world. Sean credits Barrie with helping him with his PTSD and their story is a powerful reminder of the incredible bond that dogs and humans have, and how both can save the other.

Barrie Kosky on the Contemporary Australian Stage

Charlotte Farrell

This is the first book-length study of Australian theatre productions by internationally-renowned director, Barrie Kosky. Now a prolific opera director in Europe, Barrie Kosky on the Contemporary Australian Stage accounts for the formative years of Kosky's career in Australia. This book provides in-depth engagements with select productions including The Dybbuk which Kosky directed with Gilgul theatre company in 1991, as well as King Lear (1998), The Lost Echo (2006), and Women of Troy (2008). Using affect theory as a prism through which these works are analysed, the book accounts for the director's particular engagement with – and radical departure from – classical tragedy in contemporary performance: what the book defines as Kosky's 'post-tragedies'. Theatre studies scholars and students, particularly those with interests in affect, contemporary performance, 'director's theatre', and tragedy, will benefit from Barrie Kosky on the Contemporary Australian Stage’s vivid engagement with Kosky's work: a director who has become a singular figure in opera and theatre of international critical acclaim.
