An Ordinary Girl
An Ordinary Girl By: Faye Robinson Have you ever felt your life spiraling out of control? Or felt as though the trials of ordinary life are too strenuous to handle? You’re not alone. The chaos and insecurities of your life are nothing compared to the power of God, Who has an ultimate plan for you and your journey. In fact, the challenges, obstacles, and hiccups in life are His way of developing you, your soul, and your spirit. An autobiography filled with humor and spiritual force, An Ordinary Girl: My Path to Peace of Mind features honest reflections and real stories from the life of Faye Robinson. She examines her childhood interactions, her own maturation, and her family relationships. Although heartbreaking at times, the reality of Robinson’s life exposes the ways in which the Lord can guide a person through even the darkest of times. As Robinson shares her own experiences, she looks to inspire her readers and help them find their own inner strength and peace.
On the Shoulders of Just Folks
Faye originally wrote her memoirs as a legacy to her descendants. Friends who heard the story, and her family who lived it, have encouraged Faye to publish the narrative as an inspiration to a larger audience. She grew up in a small Alabama farm town. At age nineteen, Faye married Doug, her high school sweetheart. Knowing each other since age four, both shared the same values and pursued similar goals. With persistence and faith, they remained focused on their common aspirations undeterred by setbacks. Faye has uniquely interwoven historical milestones to construct the timeline of her story. Readers will be encouraged as Faye shares how her tears became laughter, stumbling blocks became stepping stones, and disappointments became blessings when circumstances and just folks were providentially placed throughout her life’s journey. And what a journey she and Doug have experienced! Come along for the inspirational ride on the shoulders of just folks, Faye’s surrogate giants.

The Cambridge Companion to Mahler
In the years approaching the centenary of Mahler's death, this book provides both summation of, and starting point for, an assessment and reassessment of the composer's output and creative activity. Authored by a collection of leading specialists in Mahler scholarship, its opening chapters place the composer in socio-political and cultural contexts, and discuss his work in light of developments in the aesthetics of musical meaning. Part II examines from a variety of analytical, interpretative and critical standpoints the complete range of his output, from early student works and unfinished fragments to the sketches and performing versions of the Tenth Symphony. Part III evaluates Mahler's role as interpreter of his own and other composers' works during his lifelong career as operatic and orchestral conductor. Part IV addresses Mahler's fluctuating reception history from scholarly, journalistic, creative, public and commercial perspectives, with special attention being paid to his compositional legacy.

African American Music
American Music: An Introduction, Second Edition is a collection of seventeen essays surveying major African American musical genres, both sacred and secular, from slavery to the present. With contributions by leading scholars in the field, the work brings together analyses of African American music based on ethnographic fieldwork, which privileges the voices of the music-makers themselves, woven into a richly textured mosaic of history and culture. At the same time, it incorporates musical treatments that bring clarity to the structural, melodic, and rhythmic characteristics that both distinguish and unify African American music. The second edition has been substantially revised and updated, and includes new essays on African and African American musical continuities, African-derived instrument construction and performance practice, techno, and quartet traditions. Musical transcriptions, photographs, illustrations, and a new audio CD bring the music to life.
