Berry tries unsuccessfully to castrate himself, then convinces a clinic to treat him as a transsexual. The pills Berry takes keep his voice from changing, but they also open a door Berry can't close.

As a teenager, Alis adventures took him into the spiritual realm or the world of the spirit as some call it. OBE is a situation in which a persons spirit (the inner man), moves temporarily out of his or her physical body, the same way an astronaut striped off his space suit would stand beside his empty suit. OBE was a rare and strange phenomenon, so Ali kept this experience to himself, until he discovered through books that: OBE is a universal subject, although, some consider it a purely spiritual phenomenon; some aspects of it (OBE) has been scientifically proven through experiments. Prominent amongst the books are Kenneth E Hagins The Threefold Nature Of Man and Perry Stones Secrets from Beyond the Grave. Much later, Ali was introduced by TL Lizzy to EA Adeboyes Abundant Life After Death; Open Heavens Daily Devotionals of 26th February 2016 and Kenneth E Hagins I Believe in Visions. In this compelling book, Ali recounts for the first time his adventures out of his physical body. This true life story also provides answers to some unvoiced inquiries that only a few would ask their Rabbis, Pastors, Imams or Spiritual Mentors. Such as: Is the inner man a myth or a reality? How does human spirit look like? How is the world of the spirit look like? What is OBE and what do our scriptures say about it?

"The training of singers for performance in religious services shaped the very structures of ecclesiastical institutions, which developed to meet the need for educating their youngest members. The development of musical repertories and styles also directly reflected the ubiquitous participation of children's voices in both chant and polyphony. There was even, frequently, a future for choristers after their voices broke."--BOOK JACKET.

Book Synopsis Masculinity, Class and Music Education by : Clare Hall
Download or read book Masculinity, Class and Music Education written by Clare Hall and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-07-08 with total page 219 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers a provocative sociological examination of masculinity, class and music education within the context of a unique and fascinating culture: the classical musical world of choirboys. The myriad cultural meanings embodied in the ‘boy voice’ are unravelled through compelling musical narratives of young choirboys, their mothers, and their teachers. The book investigates how boys negotiate dominant gender-class discourses and the various pedagogies involved in producing middle-class masculinities during primary school and early years contexts. Drawing on the theoretical resources of Bourdieu to develop the concept of ‘musical habitus’, the continued symbolic distinction of the choirboy is analysed in order to better understand how culture is simultaneously reproduced and evolving through music. This interdisciplinary work at the juncture of pedagogy and culture will appeal to social science researchers, educators and arts practitioners interested in the sociocultural dynamics of music.

Book excerpt: LONGLISTED FOR THE DESMOND ELLIOTT PRIZE 2021 'Clever, elegantly constructed, utterly convincing' Daily Mail 'As gripping as Hilary Mantel and as convincing as Sarah Perry ... debut novels shouldn't be this perfectly formed' Ben Myers 'Clever, page-turning, original ... beautifully written' Jane Harris 'Exactly observed, densely textured and richly flavoured ... Crow Court is throbbing with life' Rick Gekoski Spring, 1840. In the Dorset market town of Wimborne Minster, a young choirboy drowns himself. Soon after, the choirmaster—a belligerent man with a vicious reputation—is found murdered, in a discovery tainted as much by relief as it is by suspicion. The gaze of the magistrates falls on four local men, whose decisions will reverberate through the community for years to come. So begins the chronicle of Crow Court, unravelling over fourteen delicately interwoven episodes, the town of Wimborne their backdrop: a young gentleman and his groom run off to join the army; a sleepwalking cordwainer wakes on his wife’s grave; desperate farmhands emigrate. We meet the composer with writer’s block; the smuggler; a troupe of actors down from London; and old Art Pugh, whose impoverished life has made him hard to amuse. Meanwhile, justice waits...
