Eric Whitacre: The Seal Lullaby
Author: Eric Whitacre
Publisher: Chester Music
ISBN: 178323122X
Category : Music
Languages : en
Pages : 11
Book Description
The Seal Lullaby by Eric Whitacre is a delightful, deceptively simple setting in the form of a lullaby for mixed choir and accompaniment of Rudyard Kipling's poem 'The White Seal'. This full SATB (Soprano, Alto, Tenor, Bass) choral arrangement with Piano accompaniment is accurately transcribed and appears in great quality print, with easy part writing throughout, so that singing this emotive song is as easy as possible. When Eric Whitacre was commissioned to write music for an animated feature, he was so struck by the words of Kipling's lovely poem that he immediately sat down to write a calm and subtle yet musically interesting piece. Unfortunately, the song was not used, but was later commissioned by the Towne Singers, and we are pleased to offer you this Seal Lullaby sheet music.

The Sultan's Seal: A Novel (Kamil Pasha Novels)
Author: Jenny White
Publisher: W. W. Norton & Company
ISBN: 0393072517
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 356
Book Description
"A wonderful read…. An historical novel of the highest quality." —Iain Pears Rich in sensuous detail, this first novel brilliantly captures the political and social upheavals of the waning Ottoman Empire. The naked body of a young Englishwoman washes up in Istanbul wearing a pendant inscribed with the seal of the deposed sultan. The death resembles the murder by strangulation of another English governess, a crime that was never solved. Kamil Pasha, a magistrate in the new secular courts, sets out to find the killer, but his dispassionate belief in science and modernity is shaken by betrayal and widening danger. In a lush, mystical voice, a young Muslim woman, Jaanan, recounts her own relationships with one of the dead women and her suspected killer. Were these political murders involving the palace or crimes of personal passion? An absorbing tale that transports the reader to nineteenth-century Turkey, this novel is also a lyrical meditation on the contradictory desires of the human soul. Reading group guide included. Includes the first chapter of the next Kamil Pasha novel.
