  Singing Games in Early Modern...

  In Italy during the late cinquecento, printed music could be found not only in the homes of the wealthy or the music professional, but also in lay homes, courts, and academies. No longer confined to the salons of the elite, music took on the role of social play and recreation. Paul Schleuse examines these new musical forms through a study of the music books of Italian priest, poet, and composer, Orazio Vecchi. Composed for minor patrons and the wider music-buying public, Vecchi's madrigals took as their subjects game-playing, drinking, hunting, battles, and the life of the street. Schleuse looks at how music and game-playing allowed singers and performers to play the roles of exemplary pastoral characters and also comic, foreign, and "rustic" others in ways that defined and ultimately reinforced social norms of the times. His findings reposition Orazio Vecchi as one of the most innovative composers of the late 16th century.

  There’s a rumour spreading quickly on the farm that triggers immediate emergency escape plans for this unknowing bunch of fruit and vegetables. And there’s a certain upcoming birthday to celebrate, but it’s too dangerous to stay on the farm. Where can they flee to? Make no mistake; this is a day full of twists and turns. Just how does an ordinary Saturday morning lead to an unexpected adventure of mysterious cave exploring? The fact that a beautiful creature is living all alone in such cold temperatures is intriguing, and so are those motionless objects…. Rapping, knocking, tapping, clapping, stomping – not to mention booming beats, spooky silence, eerie echoes, windy whistling, strange shadows and objects – all give this cave a creepy feel. Luckily, it doesn’t last, and it’s not long before the strains of music and birthday singing drown out those scary sounds.Join this cute bunch of Pentatonics and Diatonics as they journey from the farm to the mountains and then to the City. What else do they see along the way? These likeable little characters, renamed as the Chromatics, certainly have a lot to learn about themselves – and so do you! There’s fun, excitement, humour, adventure, and so much more, and don’t forget that Big Ride either!

  The Nirvana bassist “offers specific platforms for electoral reform . . . as well as charming anecdotes about rock ‘n’ roll as a pursuit of happiness” (Sarah Vowell, The New York Times Book Review).   A memoir of both music and politics, Of Grunge and Government tells Krist Novoselic’s story of how during his years with Kurt Cobain and Nirvana, the band made a point of playing benefits—the Rock for Choice show, a concert for gay rights, a fundraising gig for the Balkan Women’s Aid Fund—and how in the ensuing years he has dedicated himself to being a good citizen and participating in American democracy.   In this book he shares stories about making music and making a statement—as well as inspiring ideas for anyone who wants to advance progressive causes, to become a more active part of the community, and to make sure our votes count and our voices are heard.
