A house, too, can be a battlefield, and a garden a wilderness. The house here belongs to Faber and Thea: middle-class, middle-aged, probably more than middle-income and in a mid-matrimonial rut of mutual laissez-faire. Also in the house is their young ward Flora, to whom Faber has been making sexual advances. And there are visitors. Thea's sister Denise is taking a break from other distant battlefields, where she is engaged in the struggle against oppression. A black writer, Mel, is here as well with his white lover Dov, a musician: the first homosexual couple to be 'out' on the operatic stage.These people's entanglementswith each other but also, and more importantly, within themselveshave to be addressed, as in Tippett's first opera. But this time the Mozart model is Cosi fan tutte, and the lessons of myth are clothed in the language of psychiatry, as practised by Mangus, the Don Alfonso who may not be as much in control as he would hope. In the last act he stages a performance of The Tempest, which comes adrift. Perhaps more has been achieved in the middle act, a swirl of short scenes ending in an exchange of songs between Flora and Dovan exchange, too, of homages to Schubert and the blues, both held in the magic of this lustrous score.(Paul Griffiths)2 (2pic).1.ca.Ebcl.2 (2: bcl).1.cbn-4.4.2.1-timp.3perc (s.d., t.d., b.d., jazz kit, cym., sus.cym., w.bl., t.bl., tamb., casts., wh., metal bar or heavy triangle, tam-tam, xyl., vib., glock., claves, small rattle)-hp.cel.pno.egtr/ehpd-str Reduced version: 1 (pic).1 (ca).1 (Ebcl, bcl).1 (cbn)-3.2.2.0-2perc (timp., t.d., jazz kit, cym., t.bl., tamb., casts., metal bar or heavy tri., tam-tam, vib., glock., tub.bells, cl., rattle)-hp.pno (cel).egtr-str: 3 vns (3: va).va.vc.db.

â??During my career spanning half a century, like all my fellow harpists I constantly had to grapple with the commonly held view that the harp has neither music nor history of its own.Fortunately, over the years I have been able to give the lie to this myth and have tried to bring to light some of the vast repertoire, both early and modern, expressly composed for this instrument which has been treated somewhat as an outsider in the musical world.The research work for my books on Italian and Swiss harp music was plain sailing because source materials were specific titles and title pages. Were I to write books on French, German, Austrian, British, Bohemian, Spanish, Portuguese or Scandinavian harp music, the work involved would be equally smooth and straightforward.However, where Dutch music is concerned, the approach is rather different, because here it is the painters, treatise-writers and historians who provide the evidence and guidance necessary to discover the musical customs and traditions where the harp played a significant part.Performers looking for pieces of music may use this book as follows: chapter II deals with treatises, chapter III with paintings, chapter IV with history and research accounts. Chapters V and VI are concerned with confusions in terminology. Chapter VII describes recent developments and chapters VIII and IX cover composers and pieces of music. Libraries and publishers are listed with their addresses in chapters X and XI, and finally chapter XII consists of the index based on the various groups of performers.In this last chapter harpists will find the composers most suited to their programme, and can then turn to chapters VIII and IX for details. The actual pieces can be obtained by consulting chapters X and XI. I wish you every success in your search, in your rehearsals and in your concerts !In order to define what is Dutch or non-Dutch in early music, I have followed the current approach, i.e. all art and history prior to the separation of the â??Seven ProvinÂces in the 16th century is the common heritage of the Low Countries, whereas everything pertaining to those courageous lands from then onwards is specifically Dutch..

Come and See is an invitation for each of us to experience Jesus as He enters Jerusalem; to witness His betrayal by a friend; to endure with Him the suffering and death of a sinless Savior; and finally to behold His empty tomb. Through the eyes of a blind beggar, we're taken through these events and more by way of a powerful and moving dramatic script, and energetic choral arrangements carefully designed for smaller choirs by two-time Dove Award winning writers, Dennis and Nan Allen. With a run time of 36 minutes, this dramatic musical includes popular worship songs Come and See and Sing to the King and the classic Wayne Watson song Friend of a Wounded Heart. Also included is a beautiful arrangement of the hymn I Saw the Cross and a new tune to the great hymn text Beneath the Cross of Jesus. Musically, this work is highlighted by settings that any choir can comfortably attain. Several opportunities for congregational involvement are included. For the full drama version, a small cast is required, and Nan Allen has written creative and very useful production notes to assist in both staging and costuming. The narrator version requires two narrators and is equally moving. This Easter, come and see what Jesus did for you.

Vivaldi's 12 concertos were first published in 1711 by Roger in Amsterdam. These 8 elegant part-books helped to establish Vivaldi's reputation throughout Europe and provided the rules from which such writers as Quantz, Marcello and Mattheson judged and advised other composers. Much imitated, the concertos continued to influence the works of later composers and indeed J. S. Bach.

Music is one of the most important elements of a preschoolers' development and it is the perfect way to introduce spiritual concepts to this age child. What they hide in their hearts from the ages of three to five will stay with them for a lifetime. Having worked together for years as writers editors and directors of children's music Pamela Vandewalker and Cherry Garasi felt the need for quality age appropriate musical presentations for preschoolers. Live LOVE! is a result of that idea and it presents one of the strongest spiritual concepts anyone can ever learn. This musical presentation outlines the idea that truly love is a verb. By teaching children that we show love to others in the way we live and the things we do and say we are pointing them toward a relationship with God through His son Jesus - the One who teaches us to love one another. Because the subject matter of this musical is love this music program can be used at any time of year but would be especially suited for a February (or Valentine's) performance. Suggestions for sharing this musical in your church school or community are included in this book. Our prayer is that as you teach Live LOVE! you and your children will have a happy experience with music making. But more importantly we hope the ideas of God loving us and the importance of loving each other will be instilled in the hearts and minds of your preschoolers. Video Blogs Now Available! View here .

The outcome of a fruitful collaboration of theologians, writers and musicians working at the retreat and therapeutic centre of Holy Rood House in Yorkshire, this new collection articulates the needs of a contemporary ministry of healing through the agency of hymns, the church's most resonant and expressive form of worship. Acknowledging the impact of medical science in vastly expanding the range of the possible in every aspect of our living and dying, eighty-three texts tackle a rich diversity of themes: infant death, illness and suffering, ageing and dementia, the genome, mortality and bereavement, grief and lament, pain and despair - including pain and despair from the failure of healing - but also wisdom and resilience, healing as part of a spiritual holism of mind and body, and as a metaphor for social and political justice and care for the environment. The wealth of music includes new tunes and familiar ones, and the anthology concludes with a section of twelve short or repetitive texts to be used in conjunction with prayer. Hymns of Hope and Healing is the product of many voices, from those of widely experienced authors to others taking their promising early steps in the form. It will provide a vehicle for worship and reflection for those involved in chaplaincy, in therapies and counselling, and all in the wider church with an interest in this ancient ministry. Witnessed through the life, death and resurrection of Christ, it is refreshed and re-imagined here for a time both of breathtaking scientific advance, and of an urgent need to affirm our wholeness and faith while embracing the momentous challenges to our traditional understanding of health and healing.
