Lyrics and guitar chords for nearly 1,200 songs are arranged in a
compact, easy-to-use format in this comprehensive collection. Folk
revival favorites; Broadway show tunes; Beatles' songs; hymns,
spirituals, and gospel standards; songs about peace, freedom,
labor, and the environment are among the types of songs included.
This revised and retypeset large-print version of the enormously
popular songbook makes this essential resource easy to read and
useful in leading large and small groups.
So this is permanence, edited by Jon Savage with a foreword by
Deborah Curtis, presents the intensely personal writings of one of
the most enigmatic and influential songwriters and performers of
the late twentieth century, Joy Division's Ian Curtis. The songs of
Joy Division, infused with the energy of punk but steeped in a
resigned longing, were born of Manchester in the late seventies - a
once flourishing industrial city in decline. They were the songs
too of Ian Curtis's inner tragedies, as he battled depression,
epilepsy and debilitating stage fright. Ian Curtis committed
suicide in 1980, on the eve of the band's first American tour.
Interspersed with the lyrics are previously unpublished facsimile
pages of Ian's notebooks, which throw his highly emotive lyrics
into fascinating relief and cast light on the creative process of
this singularly poetic songwriter.
Following the success of the first volume in Nikki Iles's acclaimed
jazz series, this collection features sophisticated new jazz
arrangements of Christmas classics, including 'Let it snow!',
'Rudolph, the red-nosed reindeer', 'Away in a manger', and 'Past
three o'clock'. A wide variety of styles are represented, from
swing and stride to boogaloo and calypso, and the expertly recorded
CD, by Nikki Iles, helps with interpretation. With fully notated
rhythms, grooves, and improvisations, Jazz on a Winter's Night 2 is
the perfect collection for pianists looking for that authentic
sound.
The Classical Film Collection brings together famous classic pieces
from the movies, such as Tchaikovsky's Swan Lake (from Black Swan),
Mozart's Clarinet Concerto (Out of Africa), Allegri's Miserere
(Chariots of Fire) and, for the first time in print, House of
Woodcock by Jonny Greenwood from Phantom Thread. All pieces have
been arranged for the intermediate pianist.
Eva Cassidy had a diverse reprtoire of jazz blues folk and pop
music. She remained virtually unknown in her lifetime but has been
afforded great critical and popular acclaim following the
posthumous release of her vocal recordings. The Eva Cassidy
Songbook collects some of her most famous and best-loved
arrangements for guitar and voice, containing tablature, standard
notation, chords and lyrics, so that you are able to reproduce some
of her best works.
for SATB and organ, with optional congregation This hymn-anthem of
thanksgiving begins gently and tenderly, but builds to a rousing
climax. It culminates with a verse of the hymn Now thank we all our
God (which may be sung by the congregation in addition to the
choir), underlaid by a powerful organ part and with a soaring
descant line above.
These never-before-published poems by Johnny Cash make the perfect
gifts for music lovers and fans alike. Edited and introduced by
Pulitzer Prize-winning poet Paul Muldoon with a foreword by John
Carter Cash, this poetry collection is illustrated with facsimile
reproductions of Cash's own handwritten pages. Now an album with
music by Rosanne Cash, Brad Paisley, Willie Nelson, Kacey
Musgraves, Elvis Costello, and more. Since his first recordings in
1955, Johnny Cash has been an icon in the music world. In this
collection of poems and song lyrics that have never been published
before, we see the world through his eyes and view his reflection
on his own interior reality, his frailties and his strengths alike.
In his hallmark voice, he pens verses about love, pain, freedom,
and mortality, and expresses insights on culture, his family, his
fame, even Christmas. Forever Words confirms Johnny Cash as a
brilliant and singular American literary figure. His music is a
part of our collective history, and here the depth of his artistry
and talent become even more evident.

for soloists, SATB, children's chorus and orchestra with Chinese
flute and erhu This opera in four acts is based on an ancient
Chinese myth about a snake-shaped spirit that attains human form to
experience love. The English libretto by Cerise Lim Jacobs
sensitively adapts the story for modern audiences, and Zhou Long's
music uses both Western and Chinese sounds to create a pioneering
cross-cultural opera. Long was awarded the 2011 Pulitzer Prize for
Music for Madame White Snake, and the Pulitzer jury described the
work as 'a deeply expressive opera that draws on a Chinese folk
tale to blend the musical traditions of the East and the West.'
Madame White Snake was first staged by Opera Boston on 26 February
2010 at the Culter Majestic Theatre, Boston, USA, and received its
first Chinese staging at the Beijing International Festival on 10
October 2010, Beijing, China.
This book contains complete, authentic drum notation and play-along
tracks to eight Led Zeppelin classics. There are two versions of
every song on the included CDs: an instrumental sound-alike
recording, and an instrumental accompaniment track (without drums)
so you can play along. When you use the CDs in your Mac or
Windows-based computer, the TNT (Tone 'N' Tempo) Changer lets you
easily loop sections for practice, slow tracks down or speed them
up without changing the pitch, change the key, and switch back and
forth between full instrumental and accompaniment tracks. Titles:
Black Dog * Communication Breakdown * Dazed and Confused *
Heartbreaker * Immigrant Song * Rock and Roll * Since I've Been
Loving You * Whole Lotta Love.
A collection of Einaudi's finest works from every album,
transcribed for piano solo.
