Book Synopsis Edgar Evans: Extempore by : Bob Little
Download or read book Edgar Evans: Extempore written by Bob Little and published by The Endless Bookcase Ltd. This book was released on 2012-03-22 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A biography of Edgar Evans, principal tenor at the Royal Opera House (1946–1975) and, later, a teacher at the Royal College of Music. This is an e-book version of a biography of Edgar Evans, principal tenor at the Royal Opera House (1946–1975) and, later, a teacher at the Royal College of Music. However, it is far more than a thorough, engaging and at times very amusing biography of an acclaimed performer at one of the world’s top opera houses in the 20th century. It is also an insightful account of what national and international artistic life was like at the time. Woven into the account of Edgar Evans’ life are fascinating anecdotes about famous people of the day set against a colourful local historical background. The stories are made all the more intriguing by the inclusion of copies of scanned documents and black and white photographs of performances and performers. What may interest you about the life of Edgar Evans Edgar Evans will be best remembered for creating the role of Hermann in Tchaikovsky’s The Queen of Spades at the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden. In all, he sang some forty-five roles (most of them major ones) at Covent Garden over a period that stretched from 1946 -when, as one of its three principal tenors, he became a founder member of the Covent Garden Opera Company – to his retirement in 1975. In that time, he sang more roles and gave more performances at the Opera House than any other artist. Subsequently, he conducted his share of masterclasses and adjudicated at singing competitions. Even in his later years he had a regular procession of singers all anxious to learn his secrets of vocal technique and his opinion of their vocal talents and abilities. On his retirement from Covent Garden, Edgar was invited – by Sir David Willcocks – to join the teaching staff at the Royal College of Music. For ten years he taught vocal technique there and many singers can pay tribute to his masterly teaching. He sang with leading singers and with leading orchestras, both in this country and on the Continent, and worked with leading conductors including Erich Kleiber, Karl Rankl, Sir Thomas Beecham, Sir John Barbirolli, Sir Malcolm Sargent, Sir Georg Solti, Otto Klemperer, Rudolf Kempe and Carlo Maria Giulini. Among those to whom he felt he owed a special debt of gratitude was Peter Gellhorn who, as a répétiteur and conductor at Covent Garden, taught Edgar the part of Hermann in The Queen of Spades in the remarkably short time of just fourteen hours. He sang the title role in Peter Grimes and Captain Vere in Billy Budd after Peter Pears had initally brought these characters to theatrical life. He sang Dmitri in Boris Godunov (in English under Clemens Krause and, later, in Russian – being taught the part by David Lloyd Jones and Oda Slobotskyia), Steva in Janacek’s Jenufa under Kubelik, the drum major in Alban Berg’s Wozzeck under Kleiber, Calaf in Turandot under Barbirolli, and many more roles. Barbirolli and Kleiber were among Edgar’s favourite conductors, closely followed by Kempe and Giulini. There are a few recordings of Edgar Evans’ performances. They and this book are a tangible legacy of a performer whose life and influence deserves the recognition of a wider audience.
Book Synopsis Re-imagining Preaching and Leading Worship by : Robert Little
Download or read book Re-imagining Preaching and Leading Worship written by Robert Little and published by The Endless Bookcase Ltd. This book was released on 2024-03-15 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If you’ve ever wondered how you could be more effective at engaging audiences, conveying what you have to say and, thereby, motivating them to change their attitudes and behaviour – you’re not alone. Robert Little has often wondered the same thing (but about himself, not you). He’s spent many years speaking in the world of business; advising other people on how to speak; listening to and watching others speak in a variety of contexts, as well as being a preacher. He’s also been a singer, performing as a soloist in concerts and operas around the UK. Cajoled into writing this book – outlining many of the tips and techniques you’ll need to be an effective public speaker – Robert has captured relevant thoughts and observations from many people. These include practical, pragmatic, preachers; assiduous academics, along with popular presenters and personable performers from the worlds of business, the arts and even sport. He’s contributed several of his own tried-and-tested techniques, too. Robert believes Christian communicators tend to miss out on some of this book’s tips and techniques which have been garnered from today’s business world. These tips and techniques focus on how to engage and keep an audience’s attention – and motivate that audience to put into practice what they hear and see. So, this book is worth at least a cursory glance from those who want their preaching ministry (or any other type of public speaking) to be effective – as well as, perhaps, to be memorable, popular and successful. *If you’re a Baptist, part of the Baptist church leadership, or just want to improve your biblical preaching and public speaking, this book can help you to prepare for worship leading. Discover the responsibilities of a worship leader; references to leading worship, Scripture and much more.

Download or read book The Arts in the 1970s written by Bart Moore-Gilbert and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-02-01 with total page 283 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Were the 1970s really `the devils decade'? Images of strikes, galloping inflation, rising unemployment and bitter social divisions evoke a period of unparalleled economic decline, political confrontation and social fragmentation. But how significant were the pessimism and self-doubt of the 1970s, and what was the legacy of its cultural conflicts? Covering the entire spectrum of the arts - drama, television, film, poetry, the novel, popular music, dance, cinema and the visual arts - The Arts in the 1970s challenges received perceptions of the decade as one of cultural decline. The collection breaks new ground in providing the first detailed analysis of the cultural production of the decade as a whole, providing an invaluable resource for all those involved in cultural, media and communications studies.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bestselling author and humorist Garrison Keillor returns to one of America's most beloved mythical towns, beset by a contagion of alarming candor. A mysterious virus has infiltrated the good people of Lake Wobegon, transmitted via unpasteurized cheese made by a Norwegian bachelor farmer, the effect of which is episodic loss of social inhibition. Mayor Alice, Father Wilmer, Pastor Liz, the Bunsens and Krebsbachs, formerly taciturn elders, burst into political rants, inappropriate confessions, and rhapsodic proclamations, while their teenagers watch in amazement. Meanwhile, a wealthy outsider is buying up farmland for a Keep America Truckin’ motorway and amusement park, estimated to draw 2.2 million visitors a year. Clint Bunsen and Elena the hometown epidemiologist to the rescue, with a Fourth of July Living Flag and sweet corn feast for a finale. In his newest Lake Wobegon novel, Garrison Keillor takes us back to the small prairie town where for so long American readers and listeners have found laughter as well as the wry airing of our foibles and most familiar desires and fears—a town where, as we know, "all the women are strong, all the men are good-looking, and all the children are above average."
