Pages : 253
Book Description
In 1950, as a young bride, Margaret Laurence set out with her engineer husband to what was then Somaliland: a British protectorate in North Africa few Canadians had ever heard of. Her account of this voyage into the desert is full of wit and astonishment. Laurence honestly portrays the difficulty of colonial relationships and the frustration of trying to get along with Somalis who had no reason to trust outsiders. There are moments of surprise and discovery when Laurence exclaims at the beauty of a flock of birds only to discover that they are locusts, or offers medical help to impoverished neighbors only to be confronted with how little she can help them. During her stay, Laurence moves past misunderstanding the Somalis and comes to admire memorable individuals: a storyteller, a poet, a camel-herder. The Prophet’s Camel Bell is both a fascinating account of Somali culture and British colonial characters, and a lyrical description of life in the desert.

The Bells of Glocken
Author: Anna Laura Page
Publisher: Alfred Music Publishing
ISBN: 9780739032008
Category : Music
Languages : en
Pages : 16
Book Description
Flexible and easy to teach, The Bells of Glocken is approximately 20 minutes long and is an inspired choice for children's choirs, Christian schools or Sunday schools-also great as a multi-generation program for the entire congregation! With very simple narration and dialog, it features speaking and non-speaking roles for 7-10 people, though directors are encouraged to add dialog and characters as necessary. Glocken" is the German word for "bells." Four bell sounds represent the seasonal themes of hope, peace, love and joy. This pattern may be played by handbells, choir chimes, organ chimes or pitched percussion instruments, though keyboard alone is sufficient. The Director's Score includes fully supportive keyboard accompaniment, costuming, prop and staging suggestions, dialog, vocals and a reprintable audience/congregation program. The Singer's Edition features vocals, narration and dialog. Fully orchestrated recordings are available separately."

Encyclopedia of Percussion
Author: John H. Beck
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1317747682
Category : Music
Languages : en
Pages : 467
Book Description
The Encyclopedia of Percussion is an extensive guide to percussion instruments, organized for research as well as general knowledge. Focusing on idiophones and membranophones, it covers in detail both Western and non-Western percussive instruments. These include not only instruments whose usual sound is produced percussively (like snare drums and triangles), but those whose usual sound is produced concussively (like castanets and claves) or by friction (like the cuíca and the lion’s roar). The expertise of contributors have been used to produce a wide-ranging list of percussion topics. The volume includes: (1) an alphabetical listing of percussion instruments and terms from around the world; (2) an extensive section of illustrations of percussion instruments; (3) thirty-five articles covering topics from Basel drumming to the xylophone; (4) a list of percussion symbols; (5) a table of percussion instruments and terms in English, French, German, and Italian; and (6) an updated section of published writings on methods for percussion.
