Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It has long been argued that opera is all about sex. Siren Songs is the first collection of articles devoted to exploring the impact of this sexual obsession, and of the power relations that come with it, on the music, words, and staging of opera. Here a distinguished and diverse group of musicologists, literary critics, and feminist scholars address a wide range of fascinating topics--from Salome's striptease to hysteria to jazz and gender--in Italian, English, German, and French operas from the eighteenth to the twentieth centuries. The authors combine readings of specific scenes with efforts to situate these musical moments within richly and precisely observed historical contexts. Challenging both formalist categories of musical analysis and the rhetoric that traditionally pits a male composer against the female characters he creates, many of the articles work toward inventing a language for the study of gender and opera. The collection opens with Mary Ann Smart's introduction, which provides an engaging reflection on the state of gender topics in operatic criticism and musicology. It then moves on to a foundational essay on the complex relationships between opera and history by the renowned philosopher and novelist Catherine Clément, a pioneer of feminist opera criticism. Other articles examine the evolution of the "trouser role" as it evolved in the lesbian subculture of fin-de-siècle Paris, the phenomenon of opera seria's "absent mother" as a manifestation of attitudes to the family under absolutism, the invention of a "hystericized voice" in Verdi's Don Carlos, and a collaborative discussion of the staging problems posed by the gender politics of Mozart's operas. The contributors are Wye Jamison Allanboork, Joseph Auner, Katherine Bergeron, Philip Brett, Peter Brooks, Catherine Clement, Martha Feldman, Heather Hadlock, Mary Hunter, Linda Hutcheon and Michael Hutcheon, M.D., Lawrence Kramer, Roger Parker, Mary Ann Smart, and Gretchen Wheelock.

Book excerpt: The autobiography of America’s greatest living record man: the founder of Sire Records and spotter of rock talent from the Ramones to Madonna. Seymour Stein is America's greatest living record man. Not only has he signed and nurtured more important artists than anyone alive, now sixty years in the game, he's still the hippest label head, travelling the globe in search of the next big thing. Since the late fifties, he's been wherever it's happening: Billboard, Tin Pan Alley, The British Invasion, CBGB, Studio 54, Danceteria, the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame, the CD crash. Along that winding path, he discovered and broke out a skyline full of stars: Madonna, The Ramones, Talking Heads, Depeche Mode, Madonna, The Smiths, The Cure, Ice-T, Lou Reed, Seal, and many others. Brimming with hilarious scenes and character portraits, Siren Song’s wider narrative is about modernity in motion, and the slow acceptance of diversity in America – thanks largely to daring pop music. Including both the high and low points in his life, Siren Song touches on everything from his discovery of Madonna to his wife Linda Stein's violent death. Ask anyone in the music business, Seymour Stein is a legend. Sung from the heart, Siren Song will etch his story in stone.

Book excerpt: “The realization hits: We’re not going to win. It’s why I couldn’t defeat Draewulf in Bron—because this power was never mine anyway. I drop my arms and let the energy die off. And turn around to Face Eogan." After a fierce battle with Draewulf, Nym barely escaped with her life. Now, fleeing the scorched landscape of Tulla, her storm-summoning abilities are returning; only . . . the dark power is still inside her. Broken and bloodied, Nym needs time to recover, but when the full scope of the shapeshifter’s horrific plot is revealed, the strong-willed Elemental must race across the Hidden Lands and warn the other kingdoms before Draewulf’s final attack. From the crystalline palaces of Cashlin to the legendary Valley of Origin, Nym scrambles to gather an army. But even if she can, will she be able to uncover the secret to defeating Draewulf that has eluded her people for generations? With a legion of monsters approaching, and the Hidden Lands standing on the brink of destruction, the stage is set for a battle that will decide the fate of the world. This time, will the Siren’s Song have the power to save it?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A girl searches for a killer on an island where deadly sirens lurk just beneath the waves in this “twisty, atmospheric story that grips readers like a siren song” (Publishers Weekly, starred review). The sea holds many secrets. Moira Alexander has always been fascinated by the deadly sirens who lurk along the shores of her island town. Even though their haunting songs can lure anyone to a swift and watery grave, she gets as close to them as she can, playing her violin on the edge of the enchanted sea. When a young boy is found dead on the beach, the islanders assume that he’s one of the sirens’ victims. Moira isn’t so sure. Certain that someone has framed the boy’s death as a siren attack, Moira convinces her childhood friend, the lighthouse keeper Jude Osric, to help her find the real killer, rekindling their friendship in the process. With townspeople itching to hunt the sirens down, and their own secrets threatening to unravel their fragile new alliance, Moira and Jude must race against time to stop the killer before it’s too late—for humans and sirens alike.

Book excerpt: Alan Bond was a child of London, shaped by the horrors of World War II. He survived the worst of the London Blitz era before being sent to live in Devon. Even though he was sent away for his own safety, life with his elderly relatives compared rather unfavourably with life among the falling bombs. As a young man, he decided upon a career in medicine. After earning his degree at university, he followed another dream of life abroad. He settled in Tasmania to work as an anaesthetist. This new existence proved too challenging for his marriage to survive, so he started over again as a single man. But life had other plans in store for this adventurer. He met the Blonde, and his life changed forever. Now retired, he and his Australian lady shared a time of adventure on the high seas, daring the often challenging waters of the Tasman Sea and the Bass Strait. On board their boat, a wooden cutter, they explored the beautiful coasts of Tasmania and uncovered some of the ghosts of the state's colonial past. Alan Bond's story is one of adventure, loss, and newfound love, of second chances, surprises, and dreams pursued and achieved.

Alexandros knows firsthand how seductive sirens are, as well as their potential to destroy.

Can he banish Chloe from the town he's vowed to protect—or will he be drawn into the siren's bed?

Book excerpt: Fawzia Afzal-Khan's book is an important and timely feminist intervention in the study of classical music and a cogent challenge to the prevailing antisecular orthodoxy in the academy. In this complex and sensitive study...of the careers of artistes like Malka Pukhraj, Roshanara Begum, Reshma, and of the newer music and musical space offered by Coke Studio, Afzal-Khan shows us the multiple ways in which women performers negotiated and continue to negotiate their way through the numerous challenges thrown their way in the wake of the partitioning of the subcontinent and the multiple demands placed on them.

Book excerpt: Beauty. Grace. Song. The three core traits that make up the Sirens. Traits that create chaos and tragedy wherever they go, with every move that they make. To lose the effect, they are forced to give up its cause: their song. A pact was forged centuries ago in an agreement to stop singing. A pact that continues to be broken. Crevan is the name the three Sirens take when they move to Florence, Oregon as they once more try to escape what they are. Ariana is the eldest and most beautiful Siren sister. Her entire purpose in life is to care for her sisters. A purpose that continuously washes away who she really is. Shae is the middle Siren and flaunts her differences in any way possible with little to no restraint. It is she that possesses the most grace and charm of the three. Both of which she uses to have a good time as often as possible. Kalina is the youngest sister with a tendency to screw up. Of the three traits cursed upon the Sirens, hers is the most potent and the most dangerous, for she has the greatest song. A song that pulses through her very blood and tests her control with each and every breath. Florence was another stop in their world. Another place to call home for no longer than eight years - if they were lucky. It was never meant to be more than a place to recover from the last fall. But Florence has more in store for the Sirens than they could have possibly foreseen. Once more, Kalina finds herself flirting with disaster when she befriends William James. A human male intent on gaining some form of satisfaction from the enigmatic creature he has found. Inevitably, Kalina finds herself falling for William, and her entire nature changes because of it. But her love is a betrayal in itself. Furious, her sisters are determined to do whatever they must in order to protect themselves. Now Kalina must fight the entire world in order to keep the one man who has become absolutely vital to her own survival.

Book excerpt: Dive into the depths of myth and melody with "Siren's Song: The Lost Symphony of Atlantis," a mesmerizing journey into the heart of one of history's most enduring legends. This speculative exploration blends history, mythology, and musicology to craft a narrative as captivating as the mythical city itself. Within these pages lies a richly imagined tale of Atlantis's rise and fall, told through the creation of a Lost Symphony that captures the essence of a civilization both magnificent and tragic. From the ethereal melodies that marked Atlantis's birth to the somber tones of its demise beneath the waves, the symphony serves as a bridge between the ancient world and our own, echoing the timeless quest for beauty, understanding, and connection. Featuring speculative instruments that resonate with the power of the sea, a comparative analysis of ancient civilizations' music, and insights from contemporary scholars and musicians, "Siren's Song" invites readers on an unparalleled auditory adventure. This book is not just an exploration of Atlantis's musical legacy but a reflection on the power of music to convey the deepest emotions and mysteries of the human experience. As we navigate through the speculative Lost Symphony, the allegorical Siren's Song emerges as a powerful metaphor for human ambition and hubris, teaching us about the beauty of striving and the inevitability of loss. Through imaginative narrative and scholarly depth, "Siren's Song: The Lost Symphony of Atlantis" celebrates the enduring allure of Atlantis, urging us to listen closely to the echoes of the past as we compose the melodies of the future.
