upon a bevy of indie rock musicians to help her. The aural
accompaniment perfectly captures the spirit of Maurice Sendak's
classic kids' tale. This piano/vocal/chords folio contains Karen
O's wonderful music and also includes eight panels of color photos
from the film. Titles: Igloo * All Is Love * Worried Shoes * Rumpus
* Hideaway * Lost Fur * Heads Up.
Through an examination of her music, videos, philanthropic work,
and biographical details, this book gives insight into Alanis
Morissette's musical career and day-to-day life, from her early pop
beginnings in Canada to her work today. As a whole, Alanis
Morissette's work has never been critically analyzed. The Words and
Music of Alanis Morissette addresses this oversight through its
examination of Morissette's work in the context of biographical
facts, its relationship to other cultural trends, and its
reflection of the female perspective. This book merges biographical
information with a critical examination of the music that she
produced and performed during all periods of her life, thereby
providing a needed overview of Morissette's body of work. All
Morissette fans will appreciate learning about the details of her
life, but the author's melding of the star's personal life story
with an informed analysis of popular music will also appeal to a
wider audience-readers interested in music, culture, women's
studies, or female musicians, for example. The book provides
entertaining and engrossing reading for any Alanis Morissette fan
and serves as a resource that documents her broad contributions to
the music industry. Provides a study of subject matter far beyond
Morissette's blockbuster album, Jagged Little Pill, with coverage
extending to 2012's Havoc and Bright Lights Situates Morissette
alongside noteworthy female singer-songwriters with roots extending
back to the 1960s Traces the origins of Morissette's music in pop,
grunge, and electronic dance music Explains how Morissette's
enormous appeal among fans lies largely in their identification
with details that she shared about her life and experiences
The manuscript sources of medieval song rarely fit the description
of 'songbook' easily. Instead, they are very often mixed
compilations that place songs alongside other diverse contents, and
the songs themselves may be inscribed as texts alone or as verbal
and musical notation. This book looks afresh at these manuscripts
through ten case studies, representing key sources in Latin,
French, German, and English from across Europe during the Middle
Ages. Each chapter is authored by a leading expert and treats a
case study in detail, including a listing of the manuscript's
overall contents, a summary of its treatment in scholarship, and
up-to-date bibliographical references. Drawing on recent scholarly
methodologies, the contributors uncover what these books and the
songs within them meant to their medieval audience and reveal a
wealth of new information about the original contexts of songs both
in performance and as committed to parchment.

Poetic Song Verse: Blues-Based Popular Music and Poetry invokes and
critiques the relationship between blues-based popular music and
poetry in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. The volume is
anchored in music from the 1960s, when a concentration of artists
transformed modes of popular music from entertainment to
art-that-entertains. Musician Mike Mattison and literary historian
Ernest Suarez synthesize a wide range of writing about blues and
rock-biographies, histories, articles in popular magazines,
personal reminiscences, and a selective smattering of academic
studies-to examine the development of a relatively new literary
genre dubbed by the authors as "poetic song verse." They argue that
poetic song verse was nurtured in the fifties and early sixties by
the blues and in Beat coffee houses, and matured in the mid-to-late
sixties in the art of Bob Dylan, the Beatles, the Rolling Stones,
the Doors, Jimi Hendrix, Joni Mitchell, Leonard Cohen, Gil
Scott-Heron, Van Morrison, and others who used voice,
instrumentation, arrangement, and production to foreground
semantically textured, often allusive, and evocative lyrics that
resembled and engaged poetry. Among the questions asked in Poetic
Song Verse are: What, exactly, is this new genre? What were its
origins? And how has it developed? How do we study and assess it?
To answer these questions, Mattison and Suarez engage in an
extended discussion of the roots of the relationship between
blues-based music and poetry and address how it developed into a
distinct literary genre. Unlocking the combination of richly
textured lyrics wedded to recorded music reveals a dynamism at the
core of poetic song verse that can often go unrealized in what
often has been considered merely popular entertainment. This volume
balances historical details and analysis of particular songs with
accessibility to create a lively, intelligent, and cohesive
narrative that provides scholars, teachers, students, music
influencers, and devoted fans with an overarching perspective on
the poetic power and blues roots of this new literary genre.
