Seeing Through
Author: Ricky Ian Gordon
Publisher: Farrar, Straus and Giroux
ISBN: 0374605734
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 382
Book Description
The true confessions of a working opera composer: an exhilarating story of "a life that comes out of chaos." At eight years old, Ricky Ian Gordon pulled The Victor Book of Opera off his piano teacher’s bookshelf, and his world shifted on its axis. Though scandal, sadness, and confusion would shake that world over the next few decades, its polestar remained constant. Music has been the guiding force of Gordon’s life; through it, he has been able not only to survive great sorrow but also to capture the depths of his emotion in song. It is this strength, this technical and visceral genius, that has made him one of our generation’s greatest composers. In Seeing Through, Gordon writes with humor, insight, and incredible candor about his life and work: a tumultuous youth on Long Island, his artistic collaborations and obsessions, the creation of his compositions (including The Grapes of Wrath, 27, Orpheus and Euridice, Intimate Apparel, Ellen West, and more), his addictions and the abuses he endured, and the loss of his partner to AIDS and the devastation of the HIV/AIDS epidemic. As Gordon writes of that period: “We were, thousands of us, Lazarus. We had to rise from the ashes. We didn’t have to rebuild our lives, we had to build new ones.” Gordon has succeeded in building a remarkable life, as well as a body of work that bears witness to all he survived in the process—one that will endure as a pivotal chapter in America's songbook.

The First Resurrection
Author: Flossie Jackson Spencer
Publisher: WestBowPress
ISBN: 1490803254
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 118
Book Description
Many people believe there will be a future rapture, great tribulation, and millennial kingdom, but what about escaping the conflict in the rapture, yet having to face Satan in another after the millennium is complete? There are a lot of flaws in the end-time doctrine that cause joy and nightmares for many believers. I was such a believer, and because of the unanswered questions that caused me to lose sleep, my prayers were answered with wonder and excitement. Revelation came with hard studies and prayer, which should continue with the reader of this book. My prayer is for your understanding to be opened as you read and meditate on this work.
