Foreword by James Conlon Imagination is spiritual perception. Authenticity is spiritual presence.  — M. C. Richards Performing artists and teachers often speak of the huge impact “Center†has upon their profession and craft. In this book, conductor and educator James Jordan details how the power of Center grounds performance, teaching, and learning, bringing the reader full circle to the ideas first introduced in his best-selling book The Musician’s Soul. Nova Thomas, an acclaimed singer and master teacher, relates how she employs Centering in her work preparing actors and vocalists for their life on the stage. The insights of these two renowned teachers reveal the importance of Centering in the day-to-day life for all performance, artists, and teachers—illustrating the “how’s†and “why’s†of Centering, and how Centering can transform one’s performance and teaching. The authors also cover the groundbreaking contribution of M.C. Richards, whose efforts to define Center profoundly shaped the creative life of all musical and dramatic arts in the United States. Toward Center also covers: • A definition of Center • The importance of knowing “The Crossing Point†• An overall philosophy of Centering • Aspects of Spiritual Center • Aspects of Physical Center and Grounding • Breath exercises to access Center • Performance/Teaching focus as an aspect of Center • Application of Stanislavsky Circles of Attention to performance, teaching, and conducting • Role of Centering in the development of the creative arts • Insightful applications of Centering by the authors to all performing artists and teachers • The role of focus and its use in performance, teaching, and conducting • How to achieve authenticity, honesty, and spiritual presence in both performance and teaching  This beautiful, illustrated book is an invaluable resource for performers, actors, conductors, and teachers alike.

In a miscellaneous manuscript in the Este Music Collection belonging to the Österreichische Nationalbibliothek in Vienna, a new sonata for violin and basso continuo by Antonio Vivaldi has recently been identified. Although it has until now been attributed by default to the Bolognese Giuseppe Aldrovandini, by virtue of a heading written (but subsequently rubbed out) by the copyist of the manuscript on one of the pages of the violin part, this sonata has been recognized as an authentic composition by the Red Priest. This work - which can be placed chronologically no later than the middle of the 1710s - represents the most clear-cut example in Vivaldi's music of a “Sonate auf Concertenart”: more specifically, a kind of solo sonata for violin that the Red Priest could perform in order to show off his prowess on that instrument, as signalled by the presence of many passages featuring double stoppingor the use of the ultra-high register.
