for SATB and organ Setting a section from The Blessed Virgin
Compared to the Air we Breathe by Gerard Manley Hopkins, this
Marian piece opens with an extended soprano passage, underpinned by
soft yet characterful organ writing. Several hallmarks of Jackson's
style are evident, including soaring, melismatic soprano lines,
sonorous harmonies, and repeated organ motifs. The result is a
captivating and emotive work for church and concert use.
First Published in 2000. Routledge is an imprint of Taylor &
Francis, an informa company.
With a voice that Pitchfork has called "as scratchy as a three-day
beard yet as supple and pliable as moccasin leather," former
Screaming Trees and Queens of the Stone Age vocalist Mark Lanegan
draws frequent comparisons to wounded masters of doom like Tom
Waits, Nick Cave, and Leonard Cohen. But Lanegan's talents aren't
limited to his vocal skills. His lyrics are on par with the best of
them, exploring with Blakeian insight the stark and scorched
emotional terrain that exists somewhere beyond sadness, addiction,
trauma, and spiritual longing. Now, for the first time ever, the
reclusive singer presents a comprehensive look at his lyrics, the
stories behind them, and the making of his albums as well as
photos, insights, and ephemera from a long career in rock 'n' roll,
I Am the Wolf gives fans a rare and candid glimpse into the inner
workings of a living-and singular-rock legend.

Samuel Babcock was an active Boston-area composer who made a
significant contribution to the repertory of American psalmody.
Best known for his tunebook, "Middlesex Harmony, " Babcock composed
extended and plain psalm tunes, set pieces, fuging tunes, and
anthems, and frequently used three-part vocal textures. He uniquely
combined elements of both traditional and newer Methodist styles of
psalmody. This edition includes 75 works known to be by Babcock,
plus six of unknown attribution.

Evidence indicates that the concertos of Vivaldi, Bach, Haydn etc
were performed as chamber music, not the full orchestral works
commonly assumed. The concertos of Vivaldi, Bach, Handel and their
contemporaries are some of the most popular, and the most
frequently performed, pieces of classical music; and the assumption
has always been they were full orchestral works. This book takes
issue with this orthodox opinion to argue quite the reverse: that
contemporaries regarded the concerto as chamber music. The author
surveys the evidence, from surviving printed and manuscript
performance material, from concerts throughout Europe between 1685
and 1750 (the heyday of the concerto), demonstrating that concertos
were nearly always played one-to-a-part at that time. He makes a
particularly close study of the scoring of the bass line,discussing
the question of what instruments were most appropriate and what was
used when. The late Dr RICHARD MAUNDER was Fellow of Christ's
College, Cambridge.
