Book Synopsis David Played a Harp by : Ralph W. Johnson
Download or read book David Played a Harp written by Ralph W. Johnson and published by . This book was released on 2000 with total page 472 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A history of a college town, Davidson, NC, told in autobiography by an African-American barber who lived a 20th century of unparalleled change. Ralph Johnson, 96, caught in the poverty-ridden rule of Jim Crow customs, tells of struggles against disadvantage, unbelievable today, to get ahead. Of frugal, intense personal discipline, correspondence courses, self-schooling and hard work. As he moved into the post world war II years and his efforts began to find some success -- his 7-chair shop was one of the largest in the south -- he suddenly became the 1967 target of desegregation picketers who demanded he sacrifice his business to try to settle the centuries old curse of segregation. After a difficult, divisive struggle of a community with itself, Mr. Johnson's peacefully became the first publicly integrated barber shop anyone knew of in the South if not the nation and its demise followed shortly thereafter. Trying to understand what happened to him and why is a very personal puzzle in this eloquent, gripping life story as well as a life changing experience for any serious reader.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This authoritative reference work investigates the roots of the Sacred Harp, the central collection of the deeply influential and long-lived southern tradition of shape-note singing. David Warren Steel and Richard H. Hulan concentrate on the regional culture that produced the Sacred Harp in the nineteenth century and delve deeply into history of its authors and composers. They trace the sources of every tune and text in the Sacred Harp, from the work of B. F. White, E. J. King, and their west Georgia contemporaries who helped compile the original collection in 1844 to the contributions by various composers to the 1936 to 1991 editions. Drawing on census reports, local histories, family Bibles and other records, rich oral interviews with descendants, and Sacred Harp Publishing Company records, this volume reveals new details and insights about the history of this enduring American musical tradition. David Waren Stel is an associate professor of music and southern culture at the University of Mississippi. Richard H. Hulan is an independent scholar of American folk hymnody.

Book Synopsis Spectacular Rubens by : Alejandro Vergara
Download or read book Spectacular Rubens written by Alejandro Vergara and published by Getty Publications. This book was released on 2014-10-14 with total page 116 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The six glorious scenes that make up the Triumph of the Eucharist series by Peter Paul Rubens (1577–1640) are highlights of the Museo Nacional del Prado’s superb collection of Flemish paintings. Completed in 1626, these brilliantly detailed sketches were painted at the behest of the Infanta Isabel Clara Eugenia in preparation for a series of monumental tapestries that are now considered among the finest made in Europe in the seventeenth century. Unfortunately, additions to the wooden supports, introduced after the paintings were created, made the panels considerably larger than Rubens intended and over time caused serious damage to the original sections. With the aid of the Getty Foundation’s Panel Paintings Initiative, the panels have been restored and returned to their original dimensions by the Prado, and the magnificent oil sketches can once again be placed on public view. This lushly illustrated and illuminating volume provides new insight into the history of the Eucharist series of paintings and tapestries and attests to Rubens’s exhilarating art. Spectacular Rubens is published on the occasion of an exhibition of the paintings, on view at the Museo Nacional del Prado from March 25 through June 29, 2014, and at the J. Paul Getty Museum from October 14, 2014, through January 4, 2015.
Book Synopsis The David Story: A Translation with Commentary of 1 and 2 Samuel by : Robert Alter
Download or read book The David Story: A Translation with Commentary of 1 and 2 Samuel written by Robert Alter and published by W. W. Norton & Company. This book was released on 2009-10-21 with total page 452 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "A masterpiece of contemporary Bible translation and commentary."—Los Angeles Times Book Review, Best Books of 1999 Acclaimed for its masterful new translation and insightful commentary, The David Story is a fresh, vivid rendition of one of the great works in Western literature. Robert Alter's brilliant translation gives us David, the beautiful, musical hero who slays Goliath and, through his struggles with Saul, advances to the kingship of Israel. But this David is also fully human: an ambitious, calculating man who navigates his life's course with a flawed moral vision. The consequences for him, his family, and his nation are tragic and bloody. Historical personage and full-blooded imagining, David is the creation of a literary artist comparable to the Shakespeare of the history plays.

Book Synopsis The Music of the Bible Revealed by : Suzanne Haïk-Vantoura
Download or read book The Music of the Bible Revealed written by Suzanne Haïk-Vantoura and published by Continuum. This book was released on 1991 with total page 584 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a translation by Dennis Weber, edited by John Wheeler and jointly published with King David's Harp, in which a noted French musicologist argues that the accentual system preserved in the Masoretic Text was originally a method of recording hand signals (chironomy) by which temple musicians were directed in the performance of music. She explains her reconstruction of these notations which has allowed her to perform haunting and beautiful music around the worlds using only the Hebrew text as a score.
Download or read book David's Harp written by Alfred Sendrey and published by . This book was released on 1964 with total page 302 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "From the beginning the Jews were allowed no graven images. Their deep creative impulses found expression in poetry and song--in a musical tradition that was not only to enrich ancient Israel but all civilization for the next four thousand years. The first popular treatment of the music of biblical times, David's Harp is a work of scholarship that chronicles the history of the Jews through a record of their singular art. Here, for the first time, are full descriptions of the origins, forms, and instrumentation of Hebrew music set in a dramatic narrative of the people who created it. Drawing upon recent archeological discoveries and their own biblical research, the authors achieve dynamic portraits of Hebrew monarchs, as well as unique accounts of such hereditary guilds as the Temple singers--a group that staged the first recorded strike in history. David's Harp presents a vibrant picture of the rustic and the urban Jews celebrating their festivals and expressing their sentiments in an uninhibited secular music. It describes the sacred liturgy, performed only by the Levites; and it offers a thoroughly engrossing account of the shofar, the ram's horn of Abraham, which is the only ancient Hebrew instrument that has survived unchanged to modern times. The authors bring their story to a dramatic conclusion with a discussion of the common musical legacy shared by the two great faiths of the Western world. They show how the sacred liturgy of the Christians and of the Jews--for example plainchant and the songs of the Patriarchs--developed from the same source: the music of ancient Israel. Interspersed with the song and psalm that have come down to us through the centuries, David's Harp is a provocative work rich in originality and discovery. Layman and musician alike will find it a thoroughly enjoyable reading experience--one that adds a new dimension to the understanding of biblical culture and of the imperishable music that is the mutual heritage of the Judeo-Christian world."--Dust jacket.

The inspiration for this story came to David in a moment of anxiety and hopelessness a few hours before conducting his twin brother's funeral. He, his family, and friends needed some hope from the Lord to cope with their grief. That morning, David rose at five to walk and pray. He asked God, "Please show me You care." He needed a message from heaven to comfort himself and others. Suddenly, he heard the sound of harp music playing from above and in his heart. In that moment, the entire legend of David's harp filled the the author's soul with great joy and comfort. It was truly a gift given by God's loving grace-- which David sincerely desires to share with you."
