Orchestral "Pops" Music - Lucy Manning - Bog - Scarecrow Press - Plusbog.dk

In this second edition of Orchestral “Pops” Music: A Handbook, Lucy Manning brings forward to the present her remarkable compendium of information about this form of orchestral music. Since the appearance of the first edition in 2009, this work has proven critical to successful “pops” concert programming.

Manning’s emphasis on clarity and accuracy gives users an indispensable tool for gathering vital information on the style, instrumentation, and availability of the repertoire listed, as well as notes on its performance. The user-friendly appendices include expanded instrumentation choices, easy-to-find durations, and handy title cross-references. In addition to corrections and updates, this new edition of Orchestral “Pops” Music includes at least 1,000 new title listings. Orchestral “Pops” Music: A Handbook is the ideal tool for working conductors and orchestral librarians, as well as music program directors at colleges, conservatories, and orchestras.

Philosopher at the Keyboard - Elizabeth Angilette - Bog - Scarecrow Press - Plusbog.dk

Philosopher at the Keyboard - Elizabeth Angilette - Bog - Scarecrow Press - Plusbog.dk

This is a provocative account of pianist Glenn Gould''s intellectual and musical thought. Gould was a philosopher who incessantly pursued wisdom through his art. If the reader follows Gould''s ardent campaign through the metaphorical thicket found in his ideas, a compelling Gouldian model for a philosophy of music unfolds. Gould argues that music is not only a reflection of social dynamics, but could also be a tool for the betterment of society. The original methodology conceived and implemented in this study contributes an important design for subsequent historical/philosophical studies, particularly in music education.

The Heart Has Its Reasons - Christine A. Jenkins - Bog - Scarecrow Press - Plusbog.dk

The Heart Has Its Reasons - Christine A. Jenkins - Bog - Scarecrow Press - Plusbog.dk

Society does not make it easy for young people, regardless of their sexual orientation, to find accurate, nonjudgmental information about homosexuality. It makes it even more difficult for young homosexuals to find positive role models in fiction either written or published expressly for them or—if published for adults—relevant to them and their lives. The Heart Has Its Reasons examines these issues and critically evaluates the body of literature published for young adults that offers homosexual themes and characters. Cart and Jenkins chart the evolution of the field of YA literature having GLBTQ (gay/lesbian/bisexual, transgendered, and/or queer/questioning) content. They identify titles that are remarkable either for their excellence or failures, noting the stereotypic, wrongheaded, and outdated books as well as the accurate, thoughtful, and tactful titles. Useful criteria for evaluating books with GLBTQ content are provided. Books and resources of all types are reviewed based on a model that uses the category descriptors of Homosexual Visibility, Gay Assimilation, and Queer Consciousness/Community. An annotated bibliography and a number of author-title lists of books discussed in the text arranged by subject round out this valuable reference for teachers, librarians, parents, and young adults.

Comprehensive Musical Analysis - John D. White - Bog - Scarecrow Press - Plusbog.dk

Comprehensive Musical Analysis - John D. White - Bog - Scarecrow Press - Plusbog.dk

Now available in paperback! Evolved from the author''s widely used book, The Analysis of Music (Prentice-Hall, 1975; 2nd. ed. Scarecrow Press, 1984), Comprehensive Music Analysis is a guide for acquiring the tools of musical analysis, skills which are essential to every serious musician and musical scholar. The new volume presents material on Heinrich Schenker and reductive linear analysis and additional material on set theoretical analysis. White''s theoretical writing is characterized by logic of methodology, clarity of organization, and lucidity of prose. It should be eagerly received by theorists seeking a comprehensive view of current methodology. White''s approach to current theoretical dogma is not uncritical. As Gerald Warfield (General Editor of the recent English translation of Schenker''s Der Freie Satz) says in his Preface to White''s new book,"...we begin to glimpse a powerful tool which does not exist in any single school of theory or musicology, but which draws upon any and all nethodologies as required by the analyst. The opinions in this book are strong. Indeed, there is material which may disturb the dogmatic, yet the author''s intentions are clear. White invites you to take your cue for analysis from the compositions themselves rather than from dogma." Replete with musical examples, charts, and diagrams, the book is more than a treatise on analysis, it is a valuable tool for the advanced student of music as well as the musical scholar.

Indians of Texas - Michael L. Tate - Bog - Scarecrow Press - Plusbog.dk

Indians of Texas - Michael L. Tate - Bog - Scarecrow Press - Plusbog.dk

Until their final military defeat in the Red River War of 1874 and subsequent removal to western Oklahoma reservations, Indian peoples played a major role in all phases of southern Plains history, yet no systematic bibliographical tool has ever been compiled to identify the diverse published source materials about their cultures and histories. This bibliography, including 3,791 entries, not only lists the monographic and journal citations but also assesses the quality and reliability of most of these sources. Furthermore, it includes tribes ranging from the well-known Comanche, Kiowa, Caddo, and Wichita to the smaller, more obscure indigenous groups such as the Tonkawa, Karankawa, Jumano, Coahuiltecan, and Atakapa. The author also includes citations relevant to the Texas experiences of ''eastern removed tribes'' such as the Cherokee, Alabama, Coushatta, Seminole, and Kickapoo.

Historical Dictionary of Aid and Development Organizations - Guy Arnold - Bog - Scarecrow Press - Plusbog.dk

Foreign aid, whose growth coincided with the years of the Cold War, is now an accepted part of international relations.

In his wide-ranging introduction, Arnold illustrates the development of foreign aid as a policy tool beginning with the U.S. Marshall Plan and the subsequent development, with the Colombo Plan of 1950, of a new principle in international relations: that the rich, developed countries had a duty and a self-interest in providing economic assistance for poor, less developed countries.
