Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The jews-harp is a distinctive musical instrument of international importance, yet it remains one of those musical instruments, like the ocarina, kazoo or even the art of whistling, that travels beneath the established musical radar. The story of the jews-harp is also part of our musical culture, though it has attracted relatively little academic study.

Beginning with an introductory chapter describing the instrument, Part One looks at the various theories of its ancient origin, how it came to be in Europe, terminology, and its English name. Part Two explores its commercial exploitation and the importance of the export market in the development of manufacturing. Part Three looks the instrument?s appearance and use in art, literature and the media, finally considering the many players who have used the instrument throughout its long history.

Download or read book Jew's Harp written by Walter Hess and published by PBS Publications. This book was released on 2018-02-21 with total page 54 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Poetry. Jewish Studies. Walter Hess's remarkable JEW'S HARP is a celebration of family, of tradition, of living through terrible and wonderful times, and even of memory itself. The obvious themes are love and survival. The controlled lyric and narrative voice of the poems is that of a son, and grandson, speaking about his father, mother, wife, children and grandchildren; they speak of the agony of loss and the joy of retrieval; they speak of journeys, from Hitler's Germany, to Ecuador, to safety in America, and a new life. These are poems of an open spirit toward God and His people. These poems create the feel of ritual, a distancing that the depth of his subject and emotion evoke.

Download or read book Davita's Harp written by Chaim Potok and published by Ballantine Books. This book was released on 2010-03-10 with total page 385 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For Davita Chandal, growing up in New York in the 1930s and '40s is an experience of indescribable joy—and unfathomable sadness. Her loving parents, both fervent radicals, fill her with the fiercely bright hope for a new, better world. But the deprivations of war and the Depression take their ruthless toll. And Davita, unexpectedly, finds in the Jewish faith that her mother had long ago abandoned both a solace to her questioning inner pain and a test of her budding spirit of independence. To her, life's elusive possibilities for happiness, for fulfillment, for decency, become as real and resonant as the music of the small harp that hangs on her door, welcoming all guests with its sweet, gentle tones. Praise for Davita's Harp “Rich . . . enchanting . . . [Chaim] Potok's bravest book.”—The New York Times Book Review “It is an enormous pleasure to sink into such a rich . . . solidly written novel. The reader knows from the first few pages that he is in the hands of a sure professional who won't let him down.”—People “Engrossing . . . Filled with a host of richly drawn characters. Potok is a master storyteller.”—Chicago Tribune “Gripping and intriguing . . . A well-told tale that needed telling.”—The Philadelphia Inquirer
Book Synopsis The Jew's Harp by : William P. Chauvin
Download or read book The Jew's Harp written by William P. Chauvin and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2015-11-21 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Spanning an era from the 1860's to the present, The Jew's Harp begins in the Nerchinsk silver mining district of Siberia. The only hope in the dismal and lonely life of Nikolay Kuznetsov, former Russian silversmith, now exiled, is derived from stealing small splashings of silver from the smeltworks where he is forced to labor. Over many years he saves enough silver to design a beautiful silver Jew's harp for his wife in Moscow. The Jew's Harp traces the path of Kuznetsov's gift as his son, Pytor, carries it to its future. It becomes intertwined in the lives of an orphaned art school student, the atomic bomb era veteran who marries her, the sculptor who inspires her, and shapes the destiny of their son, Matt. On April 12, 1945 three young people with very different backgrounds are at personal crossroads wondering about their future. Little did they know, at that moment, that their paths would intertwine to the haunting strains of Nikolay's silver Jew's harp.

Book Synopsis The Origins of Language Revisited by : Nobuo Masataka
Download or read book The Origins of Language Revisited written by Nobuo Masataka and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-06-11 with total page 348 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book summarizes the latest research on the origins of language, with a focus on the process of evolution and differentiation of language. It provides an update on the earlier successful book, “The Origins of Language” edited by Nobuo Masataka and published in 2008, with new content on emerging topics. Drawing on the empirical evidence in each respective chapter, the editor presents a coherent account of how language evolved, how music differentiated from language, and how humans finally became neurodivergent as a species. Chapters on nonhuman primate communication reveal that the evolution of language required the neural rewiring of circuits that controlled vocalization. Language contributed not only to the differentiation of our conceptual ability but also to the differentiation of psychic functions of concepts, emotion, and behavior. It is noteworthy that a rudimentary form of syntax (regularity of call sequences) has emerged in nonhuman primates. The following chapters explain how music differentiated from language, whereas the pre-linguistic system, or the “prosodic protolanguage,” in nonhuman primates provided a precursor for both language and music. Readers will gain a new understanding of music as a rudimentary form of language that has been discarded in the course of evolution and its role in restoring the primordial synthesis in the human psyche. The discussion leads to an inspiring insight into autism and neurodiversity in humans. This thought-provoking and carefully presented book will appeal to a wide range of readers in linguistics, psychology, phonology, biology, anthropology and music.
