Four Works combined into one book in order to save money...{Plus a Bonus Book} -Musical Quotes from Some Famous People. -'Some Twenty and One Poemas'. -Lyrics are NOT Poems -The Spontaneous Effusions of Robert Mulderrig. -What? More Spontaneous Effusions from Robert Mulderrig {Bonus Edition}. ------------------- "Musical Quotes from Some Famous People"; The Author has picked up these simple and mindful quotes "All Along The Way", whilst on His Sojourn upon Terra Firma. From Bach to Beethoven, Chopin and Copland, Durante to Goethe, Hugo and an Italian Proverb. From Landon to Longfellow, Luther, Martin, Mendelssohn, & Moore. Including Mulderrig, Napoleon, Odetta and Plato: lest we forget Schnable, Schwab, Smith & Stern, and of course Toscanini. ------------- "The Spontaneous Effusions of Robert Mulderrig" are a group on one-line Quips, Off-the-Cuff Remarks, and Delusional Personal Misquotes that contain within them The Wisdom of One Man's Journey upon Terra Firma. Like Artesian Springs that Forcibly Erupt with-out Afore-Warning; from Deep below The Conscience Horizon; That-Which-Is, is rarely Hidden from an Open Mind, a Full Heart, & The Spirit of The Quantum Continuum... Once Seen; Never Forgotten; Once Heard; Always Sung; Once Sung; Forever Upon The Winds that Cross The Eternal Sky. . . "Without The Hub, there is no Wheel." "The Lone Ant has more purpose on this Earth than does The Fool." "Public is where crazy people go to practice acting normal." -------------- "Lyrics are NOT Poems " is a written document using Lyrics from Robert J. Mulderrig as Examples of how Lyrics & Poetry are NOT the same. One is with The Music, the other cannot, such is The Essence of The Mysteries. Long before The Spoken, and written word, The Song has filled The Wind with its purposeful beauty. As a child, I "came up with Tunes" for no apparent reason, or cause. Without a Cause, no Effect? Perhaps, but with each Affect, there is Causation; and thusly The Path of One's Life is altered... ---------------- The creation of 'Twenty One and One Half Poemas' was purely a Happenstance. Born to a Mother, Grandmother, and Great Grand Mother whom wrote Poerty, it was enevitable that Robert, too, would create such Works. Here they, Off-The-Cuff, printed as Written, and without Edits... --------------- What? More Spontaneous Effusions from Robert Mulderrig {Bonus Edition}. Just another group of one-line Quips, Off-the-Cuff Remarks, and Delusional Personal Misquotes that contain within them The Wisdom of One Man's Journey upon Terra Firma. --------------- Focusing on the Authoring of "Melopoeia: A Treatise concerning The Art of Composing Melodies" took hold of his attention full-time in late 2012. By the time he "Released-The-Ink", and within 108 days, The Work was completed. Editing took far longer than hoped, or expected, with the completion arriving in the summer of 2016. Three and a half years, and eighteen songs later, The Work, encouraged by a Life-Time of devotion, is ready for The World at large. No other Treatise, written by a Composer, for his Fellow Composers, will ever compare with "Melopoeia: A Treatise concerning The Art of Composing Melodies." ...Enjoy...

I get Bored some times, betweenResearching and Composing and Performing.One fine day I quickly wrote a poem.Just off the cuff, just for fun. Steam-Conscience type, ya know? Well, it happened again, and again...My mother, and hers, had written poetry all their lives and they couldn't figure out why I did not...I wrote Lyrics Go figure.Well, after 21 I stopped. Started to write one more, but The Muse had vanished.Such is Life.
Lyraphonakousmato: It all starts with an Utterance. Be it short or long, it has to contain inside of itself the reflections of the universal will that created it. Somewhere in The 1970's, I heard about an old Russian School of Thought that had something to do with how Words and Music work together. At the time I did not have any idea what was being imparted onto my youthful ears. As I began to set my words to my Music I found that some types of words just did not "Sit-Well" with The Tune. I attempted upon many occasions to recall "That School of Thought", but to no fortune. Trips to The Library (this was long before "The Internet-of-Things") found not a single trace of what I sought. There was no True Treatise on the subject. I asked around school and college and random Musicians, but still nothing. What little I could remember was that, before The First World War, Russia had a Great Musical Heritage that had been Literarily Burn by The Communists and their ilk. I read some Tzarist History and inquired with Librarians, still nothing. I never gave up, and over the course of Forty years each time I composed a "New Song", I kept in mind this concept: The Sonority of the Pronunciation of The Lyric is imbued by, and with, The Harmonic Structure of The Music. Sad Songs need sad Tonalities, whilst Happy require Joyful Modalities. Seems simple enough, but... The relationships between Word-Tone, Speech-Sound, and Musical-Meaning are of The Essences in Sonic-Communications.

Producer of Nanook of the North, Moana, Man of Aran, and other pioneering documentaries between 1920 and 1940, Robert J. Flaherty was America's first independent film artist. Popular conceptions of Flaherty have led many either to worship his work and regard him in mythical terms or to debunk him as a fraud and castigate him for lack of a social consciousness. Rarely has the attempt been made to understand him in the context of his times. This captivating study presents Flaherty through the eyes of someone who knew him personally-the brilliant British filmmaker and scholar Paul Rotha. A colleague and close friend of Flaherty, Rotha gives us s a powerfully written biography that is a balanced and intimate look at the life and work of an American genius. Editor Jay Ruby has restored the Rotha biography, including a wealth of anecdotes, letters, and memoirs that begin to bring Robert Flaherty the man into focus. An especially valuable dimension of this work is the appraisal of Flaherty the filmmaker from the viewpoint of a major figure of the British industry. He summarizes in detail the critical response to Flaherty of his contemporaries, about which only sketchy information has previously been available. Flaherty regarded himself as an explorer as well as a filmmaker. The exciting story of this biography takes us from the Arctic, where Flaherty spent years filming Nanook, to the South Pacific, England, the Aran Islands, and finally the United States. his courage and overarching vision resulted in an unprecedented recording of the human struggle and in documentary films that reached a wider audience than ever before.
This book tells the story of the steamship Robert J. Walker, an early coastal survey ship for the agency that would later become the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), that sank with loss of 21 crew off the coast of New Jersey in 1860. The wreck was a frequent stop for divers and anglers before it was identified by a team of researchers in 2013. Here, leaders in the documentation efforts describe the history of the ship and the archaeology of the shipwreck, emphasizing the collaborative community participation that made the project successful.James Delgado and Stephen Nagiewicz highlight the contributions of government archaeologists from NOAA as well as local divers from varying backgrounds. Although such groups are not typically known for working together, they united to achieve the shared goal of mapping and interpreting this historically significant shipwreck. Delgado and Nagiewicz show how incorporating local knowledge both improves archaeological work and empowers community members as stakeholders, inspiring residents to promote their maritime heritage.With Contributions from Vincent J. Capone, Matthew S. Lawrence, Dan Lieb, Deborah E. Marx, Lisa J. Stansbury, Peter F. Straub, and Albert E. Theberge.
This is a descriptive catalog of one of the world's largest collections of Milton and Miltoniana.Housed at USC's Thomas Cooper Library, the Wickenheiser Collection contains more than six thousand volumes, including more than sixty seventeenth-century editions of Milton's writings and significant holdings of seventeenth-century Miltoniana. The special focus on illustrated editions makes this perhaps the most comprehensive collection of Milton illustration in existence - from the first illustrated edition of ""Paradise Lost"" (1688) through all the major illustrators that follow, particularly John Martin (1789-1854) and Gustave Dore (1832-1883), and with original drawings by several of the artists. The collection's eighteenth-, nineteenth-, and twentieth-century editions record Milton's continuing impact, while expansive holdings of Milton biography, scholarship, and criticism document the evolution of knowledge of the poet's writings and influence.Augmented by nearly 300 color illustrations, this comprehensive descriptive account of the Wickenheiser Collection is being published in 2008 to honor Milton's birth four hundred years ago. The book includes descriptions of nearly twenty-eight hundred editions in the collection, with a large number of the eighteenth-and nineteenth-century editions described for the first time. Detailed listings are provided for all seventeenth-and eighteenth-century Miltoniana as well as select later works. In addition to the listings, ""Wickenheiser"" provides a section devoted to original drawings, illustrations, engravings, prints, portraits, manuscripts, illuminated texts, ephemera, memorial medals, and other artifacts to show responses to Milton through the centuries.
This is a compilation of three books: The Books of Wisdom of Sirach, Tobit, and the Epistle of Jeremiah.They all share something in common; they were all found in the Qumran Caves of the Dead Sea Scrolls in the late 1940's-early 1950's and they are also found in the millennia-old Apocrypha. You can enjoy this compilation in this Kindle format as well as print and a stunning, semi-dramatized audiobook. The audiobook is read with the passion it deserves from voice talent and audio producer, Steve Cook.
