Images and Ideas in Modern French Piano Music
In our visually-oriented society, music appears to stand apart from other arts. Yet just as a poet can write a poem whose focus is a painting, so musicians have composed scores based on poems, paintings, and other non-musical art forms. In instrumental music such reinterpretations are especially intriguing as the verbal or visual stimulus does not appear in performance but is rendered in musical form. In this study, Siglind Bruhn investigates how three French composers of the twentieth century, Claude Debussy, Maurice Ravel, and Olivier Messiaen, express extra-musical subtexts in their piano works. She shows how the relation between the subtexts and the musical works can be broadly catagorized in terms of pictoriality and interiority. In all cases, Bruhn analyzes each musical piece and each source text in its entirety and in depth, drawing on her broad background in both literary and musical interpretation of the twentieth century. For pianists who seek to better understand an individual work, for scholars in the growing field of musical hermeneutics, and for lovers of music in general, this volume explores and makes explicit connections between music and other arts.

The Poets of Tin Pan Alley
"Mrs. Oscar Hammerstein, so the story goes, once overheard someone praise "Ol' Man River" as a "great Kern song." "I beg your pardon," she said, "But Jerome Kern did not write 'Ol' Man River.' Mr. Kern wrote dum dum dum da; my husband wrote ol' man river." It's easy to understand her frustration. While the years between World Wars I and II have long been hailed as the "golden age" of American popular song, it is the composers, not the lyricists, who always usually get top billing. "I love a Gershwin tune" too often means just that-the tune-even though George Gershwin wrote many unlovable tunes before he began working with his brother Ira in 1924. Few people realize that their favorite "Arlen...
Ball of Confusion
Millennium Jones is an American foreign correspondent, embroiled in a melting pot, in London. She abhors those slaughtering innocents for their cause, and reasons unreason with two convicts for her documentary "One Man's Good is Another Man's Evil". As three culturally diverse life-paths intersect, Millie sits on the fence, between a tramp and a terrorist: a sweet Englishman born into bad, and one hell-bent on heaven Iraqi, who's heard it all before. Emotions flow: rage, belly laughs, bewilderment... and then woe, as death's knell tolls, and a Ball of Confusion blows one mind to either: follow the guided path... or choose another route. Mother Nature spins our world. Human nature spins our minds. Ball of Confusion is an original, pacy, punchy, extremely topical novel offering several suspense filled perspectives that will appeal to fans of thought provoking thrillers and dramas.
