Book Description
Lucy Clairmont's family treasured the magic of the past, and her childhood fascination with stories of the high seas led her to become a marine archaeologist. But when tragedy strikes, it's Dashel, an American forensic astronomer, and his knowledge of the stars that may help her unearth the truth behind the puzzle she's discovered in her family home. Two hundred years earlier, the seeds of love are sown between a boy and a girl who spend their days playing in a secret sea cave, while the privileged young son of the estate looks on, wishing to join. As the children grow and war leads to unthinkable heartbreak, a story of love, betrayal, sacrifice, and redemption unfolds, held secret by the passage of time. As Lucy and Dash journey to a mysterious old estate on the East Sussex coast, their search leads them to a community of souls and a long-hidden tale that may hold the answers--and the healing--they so desperately seek.

Just Add Music
Author: David J. McMullen
Publisher: Strategic Book Publishing
ISBN: 1625166702
Category : Music
Languages : en
Pages : 62
Book Description
Everyone loves a song! But what is a song? To pare it back to basics, a song is a three- to five-minute story usually set to music. It generally consists of three or more verses tied together by a chorus. While the music is vital in conveying what the song sounds like and in capturing the listener’s attention, it is the lyrics and the vocalist’s interpretation of them that tell the story. In Just Add Music, or JAM, David J McMullen has compiled the lyrics to fit most popular genres of music, including but not limited to rock, pop, blues, country, Caribbean and adult contemporary. JAM is a book of 55 sets (Top 50 Plus 5) of song lyrics written for composers, producers and musicians to add the music to complete each song.

Pages : 563
Book Description
The Green Man is lost to Sherwood Forest... Yet the Horned Lord roams there still, and the legend grows. Robyn Hood has vanished, and the mystic trine of the Old Religion—Archer, Maiden & Knight—has been broken. Or has it? Rumours abound as to a hooded man wandering the Shire Wode. Marion holds both the Wode’s magical influence and the castle of Tickhill with shield, sword, and wit—not only for love of her covenant and her children, but as a weapon to bring her brother Robyn back. And Robyn’s lover, Gamelyn, plays a dangerous game with his Templar masters. They believe he has delivered the Wode’s Pagan rites to their use, all the while unaware that Gamelyn has sworn an even deeper oath: he will realise his own power and find Robyn, whatever the sacrifice. Yet it is Robyn’s to wield the deepest magic of all—he is the Sacrifice, and Undying King of the Wylding Wode.

Gypsy Jazz
Author: Michael Dregni
Publisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 0190295236
Category : Music
Languages : en
Pages : 350
Book Description
Of all the styles of jazz to emerge in the twentieth century, none is more passionate, more exhilaratingly up-tempo, or more steeped in an outsider tradition than Gypsy Jazz. And there is no one more qualified to write about Gypsy Jazz than Michael Dregni, author of the acclaimed biography, Django. A vagabond music, Gypsy Jazz is played today in French Gypsy bars, Romany encampments, on religious pilgrimages--and increasingly on the world's greatest concert stages. Yet its story has never been told, in part because much of its history is undocumented, either in written form or often even in recorded music. Beginning with Django Reinhardt, whose dazzling Gypsy Jazz became the toast of 1930s Paris in the heady days of Josephine Baker, Picasso, and Hemingway, Dregni follows the music as it courses through caravans on the edge of Paris, where today's young French Gypsies learn Gypsy Jazz as a rite of passage, along the Gypsy pilgrimage route to Les Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer where the Romany play around their campfires, and finally to the new era of international Gypsy stars such as Bireli Lagrene, Boulou Ferre, Dorado Schmitt, and Django's own grandchildren, David Reinhardt and Dallas Baumgartner. Interspersed with Dregni's vivid narrative are the words of the musicians themselves, many of whom have never been interviewed for the American press before, as they describe what the music means to them. Gypsy Jazz also includes a chapter devoted entirely to American Gypsy musicians who remain largely unknown outside their hidden community. Blending travelogue, detective story, and personal narrative, Gypsy Jazz is music history at its best, capturing the history and culture of this elusive music--and the soul that makes it swing.

A Light in Dark Places
Author: Daniel Sykes
Publisher: Xlibris Corporation
ISBN: 1524522767
Category : Poetry
Languages : en
Pages : 211
Book Description
My coming novel will be the story behind my poetry that will tie in with my work and back up my poetic considerations with classic prose. I have watched as each poem was worded in a manner of beautiful description to the words I love to hear and was composed to the narrative and to the image of wonder and enchantment in the dress sense of beautiful fable lines and imagination. Our whole world is reflective of the dark side, and the moonlight contrasts to the days end and the going down of the sun. Lucent travels are enlightened journeys, whether in darkness or by the light of the rising sunlit dawn and morning wake. And the dreams conscious of binding and reflective thought carry on in our daily lives through the passages that are arrived at and for the light that they are seen. Stars are held in awe of distance and time and are watched as they navigate the universe for which they are known in the space that they have always been seen to highlight and mark our travels in the light and depth of our destinations that only our imagination can concur to the challenge of understanding and distinction. We awake from sleep to the clarity of light, and hopefully, the guarded truth that follows our turbulent lives in hindsight to the character bestowed in our darkest thoughts and the things that bring them to light that may raise us from the pit of demons that carry chains to hold us hostage to their disparaging afterlife, that is fired by hatred, jealousy, and envy of the time that we have left and for their own fateful eternities for which there is no return, but for the devil that drives the enormities of fact for our own judgment.
