Book Description
Las Tres Toronjas is a chapter book for upper elementary children. The P'urhépechan King of Michoacán strays from his warriors into a grapefruit orchard to quench his thirst. He discovers La Niña Encantada (the Enchanted Girl) when he cuts into a magic grapefruit. He realizes that this mystical being could be a great asset to his reign. Even though she is hesitant to leave her magical grapefruit, he eventually convinces her to become a part of his royal household. However, not everyone at his palace is happy with her presence. Envy and revenge lead to the Enchanted Girl's disappearance. The P'urhépechan King, Prince Irepan, and Arameni, the Enchanted Girl's best friend, join forces to bring her back. Along the way, they discover the maiden-in-waiting who betrayed the Enchanted Girl, fight the witch who cursed her and establish bonds of friendship.

Author: Maya Hoover
Publisher: Indiana University Press
ISBN: 0253003962
Category : Music
Languages : en
Pages : 369
Book Description
A reference guide to the vast array of art song literature and composers from Latin America, this book introduces the music of Latin America from a singer's perspective and provides a basis for research into the songs of this richly musical area of the world. The book is divided by country into 22 chapters, with each chapter containing an introductory essay on the music of the region, a catalog of art songs for that country, and a list of publishers. Some chapters include information on additional sources. Singers and teachers may use descriptive annotations (language, poet) or pedagogical annotations (range, tessitura) to determine which pieces are appropriate for their voices or programming needs, or those of their students. The guide will be a valuable resource for vocalists and researchers, however familiar they may be with this glorious repertoire.

In the Light of Contradiction
Author: Roberta Ann Quance
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1351563084
Category : Foreign Language Study
Languages : en
Pages : 196
Book Description
In 1926, as a young man of 28 with a growing reputation as an oral poet, Federico Garcia Lorca (1898-1936) toyed with the idea of proving his worth in writing by bringing out a boxed set of three volumes of his verse. Because the Suites , Canciones , and the Poema del cante jondo eventually came out singly (in the case of the Suites , posthumously), readers have not always realised that they formed a single body of work -- one which, Lorca himself was surprised to note, has 'una rarisima unidad', an odd unity of aims and accomplishment. This is poetry which takes up the question of desire in progressively depersonalizing ways, and shows modernism coming into being. Through renunciation, by cutting away the personal and the taboo, Lorca created a poetry that, like no other in Europe, stood between the avant-garde and oral traditions, making their contradictions his truth. Roberta Ann Quance is Senior Lecturer in Spanish at Queen's University, Belfast.
