Book Synopsis Exploring Twentieth-Century Vocal Music by : Sharon Mabry
Download or read book Exploring Twentieth-Century Vocal Music written by Sharon Mabry and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2002-07-25 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The vocal repertoire of the twentieth century--including works by Schoenberg, Boulez, Berio, Larsen, and Vercoe--presents exciting opportunities for singers to stretch their talents and demonstrate their vocal flexibility. Contemporary composers can be very demanding of vocalists, requiring them to recite, trill, and whisper, or to read non-traditional scores. For singers just beginning to explore the novelties of the contemporary repertoire, Exploring Twentieth-Century Vocal Music is an ideal guide. Drawing on over thirty years of experience teaching and performing the twentieth century repertoire, Sharon Mabry has written a cogent and insightful book for singers and voice teachers who are just discovering the innovative music of the twentieth century. The book familiarizes readers with the new and unusual notation systems employed by some contemporary composers. It suggests rehearsal techniques and vocal exercises that help singers prepare to tackle the repertoire. And the book offers a list of the most important and interesting works to emerge in the twentieth century, along with suggested recital programs that will introduce audiences as well as singers to this under-explored body of music.
Book Synopsis This Is My Century by : Margaret Walker
Download or read book This Is My Century written by Margaret Walker and published by University of Georgia Press. This book was released on 2013-10-15 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In selecting Margaret Walker as the recipient of the Yale Series of Younger Poets in 1942—making her the first African American to receive this national literary award—Stephen Vincent Benét proclaimed hers a vibrant new voice, finding in her collection For My People “a controlled intensity of emotion and a language that, at times, even when it is most modern, has something of a surge of biblical poetry.” Today, more than seventy years later, Walker’s voice still resonates with particular power. Addressing the literature and culture of black America, This Is My Century, first published in 1989, marked a significant contribution to American poetry, bringing together Walker’s selection of one hundred of her own poems. On the eve of the centennial of Walker’s birth, the University of Georgia Press is proud to reissue this classic of American letters. In addition to her award-winning debut collection, the volume includes Prophets for a New Day (1970), a celebration of the civil rights movement; October Journey (1973), a collection of autobiographical and dedicatory poems; and thirty-seven previously uncollected poems.

Book Synopsis This Is Her Century by : Doaa Abdelhafez Hamada
Download or read book This Is Her Century written by Doaa Abdelhafez Hamada and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2014-07-24 with total page 195 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a study of the works of Margaret Walker (1915–1998) in chronological order, in the social and intellectual context of twentieth century America. Walker is a writer who is known by name for her works; however, very little criticism is written on her literary contributions. This is the first monograph on Walker’s work by a single author and is an attempt to establish the importance of Walker’s representation of twentieth-century America against its critical obscurity. This book shows that Walker is a woman writer who slipped to the margins of the African American literary canon for improper reasons. Material presented in this study is based on research on available criticism published on Walker’s work. It is also based on research on the social, intellectual, and political aspects of twentieth-century America. This text also incorporates information derived from the researcher’s close reading of Walker’s work. It argues that issues of race, gender, and class are always connected in twentieth-century America and in Walker’s work as reflective of this century in America. It also argues that Walker’s feminist consciousness develops from one work to another until it reaches its peak in her later poetry.

Book excerpt: Helix is a woman always looking over her shoulder, navigating life with unusual abilities – fire powers – that attract nothing but death and destruction. Abandoned as a baby and bounced from foster home to foster home, Helix seeks to discover why she is different, cursed even. It might be the key to figuring out a permanent way to stamp out the powers that leave her isolated and alone. Azra is an incubus, a Dark Creature from the world, Ether, forced to hide out on Earth after a clash with his former clan. Needing to feed on sex and sexual fantasies, Azra corners Helix one night in a dark alley. But Helix’s fire powers take over, and Azra realizes that she is not just another human; she’s a Zodiac from his own home world, though she doesn’t know it. Joining forces, Helix and Azra find a way to help each other get what they want: he will bring her to Ether and help her get rid of her destructive powers if she will first use them to help him defeat Lady Kae, the clan leader who usurped him. But nothing goes as they intend, including their unexpected and unstoppable attraction to each other. By turns fantastical, inventive, romantic, and packed with wry humour, Aries Awakened is sure to become a new classic of the genre.

Book Synopsis Leontyne Price: Voice of a Century by : Carole Boston Weatherford
Download or read book Leontyne Price: Voice of a Century written by Carole Boston Weatherford and published by Knopf Books for Young Readers. This book was released on 2014-12-23 with total page 41 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A stunning picture-book biography of iconic African American opera star Leontyne Price. Born in a small town in Mississippi in 1927, the daughter of a midwife and a sawmill worker, Leontyne Price might have grown up singing the blues. But Leontyne had big dreams—and plenty to be thankful for—as she surrounded herself with church hymns and hallelujahs, soaked up opera arias on the radio, and watched the great Marian Anderson grace the stage. While racism made it unlikely that a poor black girl from the South would pursue an opera career, Leontyne’s wondrous voice and unconquerable spirit prevailed. Bursting through the door Marian had cracked open, Leontyne was soon recognized and celebrated for her leading roles at the Metropolitan Opera and around the world—most notably as the majestic Ethiopian princess in Aida, the part she felt she was born to sing. From award-winners Carole Boston Weatherford and Raul Colón comes the story of a little girl from Mississippi who became a beloved star—one whose song soared on the breath of her ancestors and paved the way for those who followed.
