Practical Percussion
Author: James Holland
Publisher: Scarecrow Press
ISBN: 1461670632
Category : Music
Languages : en
Pages : 210
Book Description
The second half of the twentieth century saw vast changes in all aspects of percussion - the instruments themselves, playing techniques, and percussion writing - plus the huge influence of pop music, jazz, and film scores. Additionally, the revolution in travel and communications has meant that composers have become much more aware of a seemingly endless variety of ethnic instruments from around the world. Holland aims to show the world of percussion as it is today, and to answer some common questions about it. Today's professional players frequently find themselves performing in many countries where the availability of percussion instruments can vary widely. Practical Percussion contains a section on manufacturers and suppliers all over the world. In addition to this list of manufacturers, the percussion requirements - both instruments and players - for some 1500 works are also listed. The foreword by Pierre Boulez further assists the reader in appreciating and understanding the richness, variety, and function of percussion instruments the world over.

Lifting the Veil
Author: Nicholas Moon
Publisher: Page Publishing Inc
ISBN:
Category : Drama
Languages : en
Pages : 273
Book Description
Lifting the Veil is the second novel in the interdimensional travelers series and follows the initial novel When the Goddess Returns to Eden. Lifting the Veil begins with the existential and paranormal protagonist, Rhea Michaels, awakening in the attic from her cosmic journey where she was forced by ancients to view her crucifixion by the Romans. Turner Ashton, the existential and paranormal antagonist, is introduced in the second book undergoing an interrogation by Ross Jackson, the sheriff. Members of the drug cartel, as existential antagonists, continue their plans to assassinate both Rhea Michaels and Max Hastings, the district attorney. The fictionalized setting remains Bell City in Eaton County, Kentucky. The plot continues to weave the fictionalized main characters and supporting cast in a web of crime, torture, murder, and mayhem with both existential and paranormal features. Lifting the Veil presents themes that are worthy of thought and consideration by multiple members of the at-present civilization, including climate change, overpopulation, pollution, extinction, and enslavement. The connecting element of the interdimensional series is a professor, Bradford Wainwright, who, as a character, not only reads and analyzes the manuscript but also is caught in a web of personal and professional analysis. Once Wainwright finishes reading and reviewing Lifting the Veil, he calls Virgil, his literary agent. While they are speaking, the third manuscript arrives and is entitled Aila's Mission.
