Sinossi

"Choral Roots" explores the largely undocumented origins of choral music, tracing its evolution from early poetic expressions within ceremonial and ritual music settings. Delving into ancient cultures, the book reveals how the human need for communal expression manifested in structured vocalizations, forming the basis for complex choral traditions. Intriguingly, early choral expressions weren't mere artistic endeavors; they were essential components of ritual practices, reinforcing communal identity and transmitting cultural knowledge. 

 
The book uniquely approaches choral music through the lenses of early poetic forms and ceremonial functions. It begins by establishing a historical and anthropological backdrop, then examines specific examples from Mesopotamia, Ancient Greece, and early Hebrew traditions. It then analyzes the lasting impact of these early choral roots on Western musical traditions.

 
This interdisciplinary approach, combining musicology, history, and anthropology, provides a holistic understanding of choral music's significance and its intertwining with religious music.

Black Evidence - A History and a...

Candis Watts Smith

A fierce exposé of American resistance to believing Black people and its devastating effects throughout history. 
 
From Reconstruction to redemption, civil rights to the Southern strategy, the multiracial protests of 2020 for social justice to the swift elimination of policies etching out a more inclusive, equitable society, Americans regularly experience periods of racial reckoning followed by walloping retrenchment. This pattern is a result of an American pastime: creating and implementing tactics to deny Black truth. Candis Watts Smith explores how Black voices have been prevented from contributing ideas to break these cycles. Distilling four centuries of critical moments in US history, this careful curation of vignettes provides a warning of what happens when Black testimony is subject to exclusion, when Black communities are terrorized, when Black children are transformed into adults, and when Black resistance is pathologized. Black Evidence shows how the ugly legacy of the past continues into our present and prescribes a cure—listen to the veracity of Black voices and amplify it.

A Lifetime Doing Nothing - Tales...

Ian McCrorie

This book is a compilation of teachings told in short stories about the author's attempts to undo the done. He offers this little book as a more ardent, and hopefully lucid, attempt to explain the paramount importance of doing nothing as a way to undo oneself. 
 
----------------------------- 
 
"In my experience, all our problems do indeed stem from this hyperactive and delusional thinking we have acquired over time. 
 
There is a way to eradicate the light-speed, blind reactions and the habitual confusion. The way is very simple. It boils down to just two words: do nothing. That s it. Do nothing. Sit quietly in a room alone and do nothing. Watch the monkey mind and do not try to fix it or eliminate it or drown it out or engage it. 
 
This is doing non-doing. Observe the mind, on autopilot as usual, screaming editorial comments from the sidelines like some frenzied play-by-play announcer and do nothing about it. Don't turn the monologue into a dialogue. Do nothing. 'Nothing to see here, folks. Let s keep it moving.'"

Woman's Experiences in the Great...

Louise Mack

An eye-witness account of the fall of Antwerp to the Germans in the opening months of World War I, Mack’s story has passages of extraordinary vividness and immediacy. Flawed by the most treacly sentiment in some places and the most ferocious anti-German invective in others, her account endures as an uncommonly forthright, passionate testimony to those tragic events and the ordinary people who were the true heroes of them. As a forty-something, coquettish war correspondent wrapped in sable furs and speaking French in her native Australian accent, she seems to have inspired amusement in some observers, but her courage in the face of wartime brutality bordered on suicidal effrontery, as she insisted time after time on having a vantage-point in the most dangerous places at the most dangerous times. Perhaps over-generous to the “little” Belgians (who had not long before this been perpetrators of hideous imperial atrocities themselves), she is able to be honest even about those she admires most, pointing out, for example, the appalling number of spies among the Belgian population and the foibles of those who claimed to be its leaders. There are startling moments in this book, riveting details that could only have been recorded by an eyewitness as audacious and authentic as Mack, no matter her sentimental biases. - Summary by Expatriate
