Quirky Quavers
William Brown spent his working life playing the violin in orchestras throughout UK. During this time he got to know, extremely well, all the orchestral instruments, and the composers of the music they played. When he retired he brought his sense of humour into 'play' and wrote a series of witty verse about both instruments and composers. This book contains some of them. From the sultry bass flute to the seductive clarinet and the dazzling E flat clarinet, to the vulnerable keyboard we move on to the composers. How did Alkan meet his end when reaching for a copy of the Talmud? Who knows who composed 'Singing in the Rain'? Where did Jerome Kern get his name from? All these questions and many more are answered by William Brown in Quirky Quavers. His affection for the orchestra and the masters who composed music for it, shines through this book of verse.
Deep Calls to Deep
The Psalms can help us during a time of disruption and division. Deep Calls to Deep demonstrates a new and generative way of reading the Bible, which looks for differences among texts to engage in dialogue over critical issues that are not only biblical but also are relevant to our contemporary crises. Bill Brown explores uncharted territory in the Bible with a particular focus on the Psalms, the most diverse book of the Bible. By taking his cue from Martin Luther, Brown explores how the “little bible” (the Psalter) engages the larger Hebrew Bible in dialogue, specifically how the Psalms counter, complement, reconstrue, and transform biblical traditions and themes across the Hebrew canon...

Seeing the Psalms
William Brown introduces a new method of exegesis, particularly for biblical poetry, that attends to the metaphorical contours of the Psalms. His method as proposed and demonstrated in this book supplements traditional ways of interpreting the Psalms and results in a fresh understanding of their original context and contemporary significance.
