Book Synopsis Two Sisters Singing by : Carmen Cullen
Download or read book Two Sisters Singing written by Carmen Cullen and published by Liberties Press. This book was released on 2013-04-01 with total page 253 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Surrounded by the beauty of her native Mayo, eighteen-year-old Lily dreams of being a famous singer on the London stage - but her parents have planned a more normal life for her, taking a degree in UCD. But leaving home also means leaving a passionate romance with a handsome, visiting American named Theo. Once in Dublin, secrets and betrayal abound when Lily's sister Moyra begins a relationship with Theo and Lily's Aunt Terry, a nun, appears to be harbouring a hidden past. As Moyra's relationship with Theo turns grim, she desperately needs her sister's support to keep tragedy at bay. But, still longing to perform, Lily finds herself at a crossroads in life. Disturbing yet heartwarming, critical yet nostalgic, Carmen Cullen delivers a convincing portrayal of both the warmth and the wrath of 1940s' Ireland. Never flinching from the savage social impact of the Church's power, Cullen's writing also conveys the charming and simplistic quality of the time as reflected in the lines of classic Irish ballads, particularly those by the author's iconic aunt, Delia Murphy. This heartfelt and bittersweet story is a stirring evocation of a bygone era.
Download or read book Voice Lessons written by Cara Mentzel and published by St. Martin's Press. This book was released on 2017-10-10 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Voice Lessons is the story of one younger sister growing up in the shadow of a larger-than-life older sister—looking up to her, wondering how they were alike and how they were different and, ultimately, learning how to live her own life and speak in her own voice on her own terms. As Cara Mentzel, studied, explored, married, gave birth (twice) and eventually became an elementary school teacher, she watched her sister, Idina Menzel, from the wings and gives readers a front row seat to opening night of Rent and Wicked, a seat at the Tonys, and a place on the red carpet when her sister taught millions more, as the voice of Queen Elsa in the animated musical Frozen, to “Let It Go.” Voice Lessons is the story of sisters—sisters with pig tails, sisters with boyfriends and broken hearts, sisters as mothers and aunts, sisters as teachers and ice-queens, sisters as allies and confidantes. As Cara puts it, “My big sister is Tony-Award-Winning, Gravity-Defying, Let-It-Go-Singing Idina Menzel who has received top billing on Broadway marquees, who has performed for Barbra Streisand and President Obama, at the Super Bowl and at the Academy Awards. The world knows her as 'Idina Menzel', but I call her 'Dee'.” Voice Lessons is their story.

Download or read book Silly Sisters written by Mike Kurilovitch and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2012-08 with total page 31 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Silly Sisters" is the second entry in the Alliterative Alphabet Series of everyday stories told in alliterative style: a fun, tongue-twisty way of telling stories designed to pique the interest of young readers, while also encouraging their writing skills. Not only is the story told in alliterative fashion, but amazingly, EVERY WORD of the story starts with the same letter -- S. Each line builds upon the last by adding one additional word. The result is a diamond "shape" poem; a real "gem," you might say, about two silly sisters who like to sing and frolic and be the center of attention -- even if it means waking a slumbering sibling. After all, you can't be the center of attention if no one is paying attention to you! So read along and see which silly sister prevails!

Book excerpt: *Includes pictures *Includes a bibliography for further reading "I wanted to become an Andrews sister. My wish was that they could become a quartet and I'd be the fourth singer." - June Allyson, actress The vaudeville era of the early 20th century dominated American entertainment with an endless array of "specialty" acts. Thousands of performers emerged from familiar American lives to test their novel talents with a voracious public in search of the next fad. Violin concertos were played on bicycle pumps, and contortionists defied gravity and the limits of human anatomy. Animal acts of every variety sought to up the ante in bringing the exotic to the American stage. One thread held most of these oddities together. Whatever the talent, it was virtually obligatory in most cases that both humans and animals incorporate singing and dancing into the act. This was particularly true for women regardless of the talent level or genre of specialty. Acts based on family groups became increasingly common, and the genre of sister acts caught fire in the 1920s. Many of these female sibling groups emerged from Midwestern farms and small towns outside the large cities, a phenomenon that is still in play as young women from the American heartland arrive in Las Vegas and Los Angeles on an annual basis to search for stardom. However, in the vaudeville era, the exotic and the odd were often prized above quality, and in the words of author Colleen Cowie, many "performing girls were just pretty young things" of negligible qualifications at best. The appetite for simple beauty and acts based on mindless themes extended to men as well and typified the sort of entertainment a family member might devise for shows in a typical American living room. One female singing group, a hometown trio from Minnesota, stepped into the waning years of sister acts with a quality that at least in their case revived a national interest in the genre. The public psychology that opened the door to the Andrews Sisters has been analyzed extensively through the decades, and their extraordinary success likely originated from multiple fascinations. Gary Giddins, noted biographer of Bing Crosby, is particularly qualified to venture his theory. Crosby worked extensively with the trio from the small town of Mound in the east central portion of the state. Giddins asserts that Patty, LaVerne, and Maxene Andrews created their "unique sound" in part through the development of a "very bright harmonic sense," first achieved by the older sister, LaVerne. The trio mastered a virtuosic use of close, intricate harmonies, coupled with a precise and a seemingly telepathic rhythmic sense that could be honed for performance in a short period of rehearsal time. These qualities were enveloped in a timbral sheen reminiscent of multiple trumpets. At the root of it, the trio represented one of many thousands of families in which the children attempted to imitate the reigning stars. In this rare case, they did it better than anyone. While building on the genre of boogie-woogie, generally a feature of the African American music scene, the home-grown trio tapped into the grief of the First World War, then rode the ensuing wave of nostalgia that typified WWII. They filled a wartime and post-war need for emotional restoration in the same way vaudeville had served in 1918. Establishing a national boogie-woogie fad as an alternative to the typical 4/4 swing of white society, the sisters coupled the repertoire with an inherent quality of optimism and celebratory Americanism. Unlike most fellow performers, they eschewed the endless theme of brooding romantic love and instead exhorted a country at war to raise its collective morale through a rare demonstration of musical zest. The Andrews Sisters: The Lives and Legacy of the Famous Singing Trio during the Swing Era chronicles how the three sisters formed one of the most famous groups in music history.
