Download or read book And the Band Played On: The enthralling account of what happened after the Titanic sank written by Christopher Ward and published by Hodder & Stoughton. This book was released on 2011-05-26 with total page 437 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On 14th April 1912 the Titanic struck an iceberg on her maiden voyage and sank. Fifteen hundred passengers and crew lost their lives. As the order to abandon ship was given, the orchestra took their instruments on deck and continued to play. They were still playing when the ship went down. The violinist, 21 year-old Jock Hume, knew that his fiancée, Mary, was expecting their first child, the author's mother. One hundred years later, Christopher Ward reveals a dramatic story of love, loss and betrayal, and the catastrophic impact of Jock's death on two very different Scottish families. He paints a vivid portrait of an age in which class determined the way you lived - and died. An outstanding piece of historical detective work, AND THE BAND PLAYED ON is also a moving account of how the author's quest to learn more about his grandfather revealed the shocking truth about a family he thought he knew, a truth that had been hidden for nearly a hundred years.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The movies, the documentaries, the museum exhibits. They often tell the same story about the "unsinkable" Titanic, her wealthy passengers, the families torn apart, and the unthinkable end. But never before has "that glorious band," the group of eight musicians who played on as the Titanic slipped deeper and deeper into the Atlantic Ocean, been explored in such depth--until now. Join renowned biographer Steve Turner as he shares an extraordinary portrait of eight men who were thrown together on a maiden voyage, never having played together as a band, and whose names will be forever linked because of an extraordinary act of courage in the face of death. In The Band that Played On, Turner asks and answers key questions, including: How did the faith of the band members allow them to react with grace under pressure? Why does the story of the Titanic continue to fascinate? How does the legacy of that glorious band live on today? Praise for The Band that Played On: "The Band that Played On is, surprisingly, the first book since the great ship went down to examine the lives of the eight musicians who were employed by the Titanic. What these men did--standing calmly on deck playing throughout the disaster--achieved global recognition. But their individual stories, until now, have been largely unknown. What Turner has uncovered is a narrow but unique slice of history--one more chapter of compelling Titanic lore." --Marjorie Kehe, Book Editor, Christian Science Monitor

Download or read book Scottish 18th-Century Guitar Tunes written by Rob MacKillop and published by Mel Bay Publications. This book was released on 2019-09-16 with total page 72 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this unique collection, multi-instrumentalist Rob MacKillop presents 30 airs and dances from Scotland, Ireland and England transcribed for the modern guitar in open-D tuning (DADF♯AD). Although conceived for fingerstyle playing, most of these traditional, Classical and Baroque pieces are also playable with a pick. During the mid to late 18th century, a wire-strung instrument which could be described as a cross between a guitar and a cittern appeared in Britain. With the exception of the publications in Edinburgh by Robert Bremmer (c. 1713 – 89), most period writings refer to this instrument as the guittar. In providing extensive historical and performance notes on this music, the author has adopted this spelling. While derived principally from the publications by Scottish guittarists Robert Bremmer and James Oswald (1710 – 69), MacKillop discovered additional Scottish publications and manuscripts in The National Library of Scotland and even more manuscripts in the uncatalogued library of Blair Castle in Perthshire, Scotland. Written in standard notation and tablature, this book brings a particularly uncommon repertoire to light with an exceptional downloadable recording. Includes access to online audio.

Fleming and published by Read Books Ltd. This book was released on 2016-12-09 with total page 54 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1890, this volume contains a detailed account of the history of the violin, exploring its fascinating history and evolution with reference to notable designers and makers from England, Ireland, and Scotland. This interesting volume was originally written for those who love the violin and those who desire to learn about its history, and it is not to be missed by modern enthusiasts or collectors of vintage literature of this ilk. Also highly recommended for violin collectors and antique instrument dealers. Contents include: “Early Makers and Brescian School”, “The Cremonese School and its Italian Followers”, “German Makers”, “French Makers”, “Dutch, Belgian and Other Foreign Makers”, “English, Scottish and Irish Makers”, “Violin Bow Makers”, “Violin Acoustics”, “Violin Varnish”, “Violin Collecting”, “Ole Bulle's 'Gasparo Da Salo'”, etc. Many vintage books such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially-commissioned new introduction on the history of the violin.
