Motion, Emotion, and Love

The Nature of Artistic Performance
Thomas Carson Mark
Summary
Dynamically transforming the elements of any performing artist's craft, this practical guide is a must-have for
musicians, dancers, and actors. The handbook shows how artistic performance is embodied in the unification of
three critical elements-motion, emotion, and love-demonstrating how it offers experiences and opportunities
distinct from the nonperforming arts. Step-by-step guidelines are provided for building intentional and
inspirational practice time, thereby enhancing the relationships between the source, the performer, and the
audience. Illustrating how intentional movement invokes emotions from both the performer and the audience and
how the concept of love gives a performance humanity and life, this eye-opening exploration creates pathways
for achieving true artistry.

The Musician's Breath

The Role of Breathing in Human Expression
James Jordan, Mark Moliterno, Nova Thomas
One of the most powerful elements of a musician’s performance
Summary
Examining breath in its role as the "delivery system" for ideas in musical performance, this provocative book
makes a compelling case for the power of submitting oneself to its miracles. The study is divided into two
sections-the first discussing the "why" of breathing and the second providing the "how" with practical
applications for singers, instrumentalists, and conductors. Unique perspectives on the practice of yoga and other
paradigms help to reveal the breath's potential, ensuring that all musicians-from choral directors to solo
instrumentalists-can deepen their understanding of human expression through this simple practice.

The Book of Drummers' Tales
Spike Webb
Summary
From the story of the drummer who had to fly separately from the rest of Oasis because they thought he was
bad luck, to the drummer who drummed his way out of prison
Never have so many famous drummers been gathered together in one place-this is the ultimate collection of
stories about legendary drummers, and they are guaranteed to be stories fans have not heard before. Drummer
and writer Spike Webb has spent more than three years meeting fellow drummers in bars, clubs, and cafes,
shooting the breeze for a couple of hours, and extracting anecdote after anecdote for posterity. This is truly a
labor of love-and somebody had to do it. The stories here are about drummers like Nick Mason of Pink Floyd, Don
Powell of Slade, Adam Facek of Babyshambles, Steve White who worked with Paul Weller, Topper Headon of the
John Blake Clash, Woody of Madness, and world-class session players like Toto drummer Simon Phillips. Sometimes hilarious,

The Right Instrument for Your Child

Atarah Ben-Tovim, MBE, Douglas Boyd
Summary
An updated edition of the definitive guide to choosing the right instrument to unlock a child's musical potential
Offering a simple and practical method of selecting the right instrument for the individual child, this unique book
starts with the child's physical and emotional makeup, and uses questionnaires and charts to systematically
explain the pros and cons of various instruments. For instance, a child who loves company might not enjoy
playing the piano as it is predominantly a solo instrument appealing to quiet introverts, yet many a child has
been forced to learn only to give up as soon as they are allowed. As well as examining each individual
instrument, it gives advice on how some of the pitfalls can be avoided and provides information on buying and
practicing. Based on years of research by the authors, this is a comprehensive and inspirational book that will
help unlock every child's potential.

The Art of Making a Harpsichord

Darryl Martin
Summary
For around 300 years, the harpsichord was the leading domestic musical instrument and often a highly
fashionable piece of furniture as well. Usurped by the piano at the beginning of the nineteenth century, it was
taken up again with the first revival of early music at the beginning of the twentieth century. Over the past 40
years, makers have been getting closer to reproducing examples from the historical past. Now, The Art of Making
a Harpsichord gives its readers the chance to discover this challenging and rewarding pursuit in a way that is
rarely possible without working with an established builder. Beginning with an overview of the instrument, its
schools and workshop traditions, the author-himself an experienced maker and researcher-explores the various
models and types before leading the reader through the manufacture of an Italian-style instrument, while
describing historically-based working methods which are applicable to all traditions. Just as in the seventeenth or
Robert Hale eighteenth century, there is no need to rely on large power-tools. This book has been designed to provide assi...

The Ants Are My Friends

A Celebration of Misheard Lyrics and Other Linguistic Gaffes
Martin Toseland
Summary
Do you take things for granite? Do you need a secretary at your beckoned call? In The Ants Are My Friends-
delightfully misheard from Bob Dylan's "Blowing in the Wind"-Martin Toseland has collected the very best, and
very worst, linguistic gifts of the gaffe. Examples have been plucked gleefully from three categories of blunders:
malapropisms-named after Mrs. Malaprop in Sheridan's play The Rivals where the wrong word pops out to bizarre
results; eggcorns-where a new word is created from misheard real one (the name comes from someone
misunderstanding "acorn" as "eggcorn," as it has the same shape); and of course mondegreens, or misheard
lyrics, a rich vein of accidental invention. Such classic mondegreens are collected as Ray Parker Jr.'s "Who Ya
Gonna Call, Gus Foster," Eurythmics' "Sweet Dreams are Made of Cheese," Roy Orbison's "Only Baloney," AC/DC's
Anova Books "Dirty Deeds Done with Sheep," and Bob Dylan's "Mr. Tangerine Man."

Bossa Nova
The Story of the Brazilian Music That Seduced the World
Ruy Castro, Julian Dibbell
Summary
Bossa nova is one of the most popular musical genres in the world. Songs such as "The Girl from Ipanema" (the
fifth most frequently played song in the world), "The Waters of March," and "Desafinado" are known around the
world. Bossa Nova-a number-one bestseller when originally published in Brazil as Chega de saudade-is a definitive
history of this seductive music. Based on extensive interviews with Antonio Carlos Jobim, João Gilberto, and all
the major musicians and their friends, Bossa Nova explains how a handful of Rio de Janeiro teenagers changed
the face of popular culture around the world. Now, in this outstanding translation, the full flavor of Ruy Castro's
wisecracking, chatty Portuguese comes through in a feast of detail. Along the way he introduces a cast of
unforgettable characters who turned Gilberto's singular vision into the sound of a generation.

The Little Black Book of Setlists

Glen Matlock
Summary
From Billie Holiday's grand Flamingo Club gig in 1953 right through to the Rolling Stones biggest concert ever, The
Little Black Book of Setlists is the perfect dip-in guide for every obsessive music fan. The setlist has become part
of rock and roll legend-a snapshot in time for your favorite artist, the songs they played and the shows they
rocked. Setlists can tell the story of a band breaking up-sometimes right on stage, a final tragic show, the first
gig of a massive world tour, the biggest show ever, the strangest, and even the deepest underground! For most
though, legendary gigs, and their setlists, are remembered simply for their blistering rock and roll performances.
Legendary setlists in this pocket guide include the final Nirvana performance, the Last Waltz, the Rolling Stones
at Altamont, Johnny Cash in San Quentin, the Beatles rooftop show, Spinal Tap at Carnegie Hall, Prince's
Superbowl half-time show, and Joy Division's first ever gig. The collection includes a foreword by Sex Pistols
songwriter and bassist, punk rock pioneer Glen Matlock.

Marching to the Drums

A History of Military Drums and Drummers
John Norris
Summary
A full history of the crucial role played by drums in the history of warfare, including previously untold stories
from the American Civil War and Napoleonic Wars
Military drummers have played a crucial role in warfare throughout history, as soldiers marched to battle to the
sound of the drums and used the beat to regulate the loading and reloading of their weapons during the battle,
and drummers were used to raise morale during the fight. This is the first work to chart the rise of drums in
military use and how they came to be used on the battlefield as a means of signaling. This use was to last for
almost 4,000 years when modern warfare with communications rendered them obsolete. Even so, drummers

Songs of Freedom
The James Connolly Songbook
James Connolly, Mat Callahan, James Connolly Heron...
Summary
Songs of Freedom is the name of a songbook edited by James Connolly and published in 1907. Connolly's
introduction is better known than the collection for which it was written, containing his oft quoted maxim: "Until
the movement is marked by the joyous, defiant singing of revolutionary songs, it lacks one of the most
distinctive marks of a popular revolutionary movement, it is the dogma of a few and not the faith of the
multitude." Though most of the songs were of Irish derivation, the songbook itself was published in New York and
directed to the American Working Class; explicitly internationalist in its aims. Songs of Freedom is a celebration
of the life and work of James Connolly, the Irish revolutionary socialist martyred by the British government for his
role in the Easter Rising of 1916. It is at once a collection of stirring revolutionary songs and a vital historical
document. For the first time in a hundred years, readers will find the original Songs of Freedom as well as the

A Biography of 12 of America's Most Popular Songs
Will Friedwald
Summary
This pop culture history takes 12 legendary songs and, with a staggering wealth of detail and unprecedented
understanding, provides an extended history of each. The circumstances under which each was written and first
performed are explained and their musical and lyric content are explored. Those who were responsible for making
these songs famous and performers who have left their unique marks on them are also identified. Variations in
style, classic and obscure versions, brilliantly original interpretations, and ghastly travesties in the performance
lifetime of each song are discussed. Also included are revelations of facts, such as Herman Hupfeld, who wrote
"As Time Goes By," had a much bigger hit with "When Yuba Plays the Rhumba on the Tuba"; Billy Strayhorn wrote
about "a week in Paris" in "Lush Life" when he was a teenager and had never been to any city larger than
Pittsburgh; and the first-ever public performance of "I Got Rhythm," sung by Ethel Merman, featured Benny

American Music Gets Hot, 1843-1924
David Wondrich
Summary
The early decades of American popular music-Stephen Foster, Scott Joplin, John Philip Sousa, Enrico Caruso-are,
for most listeners, the dark ages. It wasn't until the mid-1920s that the full spectrum of this music-black and
white, urban and rural, sophisticated and crude-made it onto records for all to hear. This book brings a forgotten
music, hot music, to life by describing how it became the dominant American music-how it outlasted sentimental
waltzes and parlor ballads, symphonic marches and Tin Pan Alley novelty numbers-and how it became rock 'n'
roll. It reveals that the young men and women of that bygone era had the same musical instincts as their
descendants Louis Armstrong, Elvis Presley, James Brown, Jimi Hendrix, and even Ozzy Osbourne. In minstrelsy,
ragtime, brass bands, early jazz and blues, fiddle music, and many other forms, there was as much stomping and
swerving as can be found in the most exciting performances of hot jazz, funk, and rock. Along the way, it

Stuart Adamson: In a Big Country

Summary
The book that fans of the Skids, Big Country and the Raphaels have been waiting for, this is a critical
perspective not only of Adamson's music and its wider cultural influence, but also the excesses of fame and how
the music business really works. Stuart Adamson: In a Big Country tells the story of how a teenager who was
raised in a small Fife village released his first single at age 19, wrote three Top 40 albums in the next three years
and was written off as a has-been at age 23, but then went on to form a new band and sell more than 10 million
records worldwide, touring with the Rolling Stones and David Bowie. Although Adamson was one of the most
respected and popular figures in the music industry, his personal life was complex and ultimately tragic, ending
with his alcohol-fueled suicide in a Hawaiian hotel in December 2001.

The 52 Creepiest Love Songs You've Ever Heard
Tom Reynolds
Summary
Love once inspired sonnets, plays, novels, and countless romantic songs. But romance can become obsession,
and nowadays, love songs are creepier than ever. Even the Police's stalker anthem "Every Breath You Take" is a
popular choice at weddings and funerals.
In Touch Me, I'm Sick, Tom Reynolds offers hilarious riffs on 52 love songs that have gone off the rails into the
realm of the tawdry, the overwhelming, the obsessive, the self-absorbed, and the completely weird. Including
songs by artists as diverse as Melissa Etheridge, Michael Jackson, Paul Anka, Sinéad O'Connor, and Slipknot, he
also pillories a handful of the 1,700 different songs called "Butterfly."

You're Wondering Now: The Specials from Conception to Reunion

Paul Williams, Phill Jupitus
Summary
Against the backdrop of the demise of punk, social unrest, and the coming to power of Margaret Thatcher, the
Specials burst onto the scene with their unique brand of music in 1979-sweeping up the nation's youth with their
edgy, politically charged message and iconic 2 Tone branding. Thirty years later, as the band celebrate their
anniversary with a reunion tour, their hard-hitting, poignant tales of teen pregnancy, knife crime, and racism are
still as prevalent as they always were. This book sees the first publication of a full gig listing, complete
discography, and an amazing collection of rare, unseen photographs from the band members themselves.
Author Bio
Paul Williams is a concert promoter, creator and editor of the 1990s cult 2 Tone fanzine Street Feeling, and
administrator of the Specials' website.

African American Heritage Hymnal

575 Hymns, Spirituals, and Gospel Songs
Rev. Dr. Delores Carpenter, Rev. Nolan E. Williams...
Summary
Eight years of inspired work by a committee of more than 30 musicians and pastors, all leaders in African
American worship and gospel music, have resulted in this compendium representing the common repertoire of
African American churches across the United States. For the first time in an African American hymnal, traditional
hymns and songs are notated to reflect performance practices found in the oral tradition of the black church in
America. At a time when such traditions are falling victim to modern technology, this book strives to preserve
this rich heritage for future generations. Presented are litanies for "Fifty-Two Sundays of Worshipful Celebration"
outlining an African American church year, including such special days as Martin Luther King Sunday, Elders' Day,
Mother's Day, and Men's Day. Also included are 52 responsive scripture readings from the Old and New
Testaments and an extensive index that includes scriptural and thematic cross-references.
