Among the many fine examples of film scores by Erich Wolfgang
Korngold (1897-1957), the score for The Adventures of Robin Hood
(1938) stands out the most. Winner of the Academy Award (TM) for
best dramatic score in 1938, it is seen by many as the archetypal
accompaniment to a Warner Brothers swashbuckler, and it established
Korngold as one of the leading exponents of film score composition
at a formative point in its history. In Erich Wolfgang Korngold's
The Adventures of Robin Hood: A Film Score Guide, author Ben
Winters uses manuscript and archival research to challenge
preconceived notions about the score's composer and its authorship.
In the first two chapters, Winters examines Korngold's career on
its own and in relation to the film, including his background in
composing concert music and opera, his film scoring techniques, and
his engagement with the Hollywood studio system. Chapter three
focuses on the Robin Hood film while placing Korngold's music in a
larger framework. It examines the film's treatment of the Robin
Hood legend, its historical and critical contexts, and its place
within the swashbuckler genre and the studio's anti-fascist agenda.
While looking closely at the composer's work on this score, chapter
four shows sources Korngold used, the music's production process,
and the changes the score had undergone. The book concludes with a
thematic analysis and reading of the score, identifying the various
musical 'voices' that the listener weaves together as he or she
experiences the film. This detailed consideration of Korngold's
masterpiece will be continually turned to by film and music
scholars alike.
(Book). Jimi Hendrix was such an extraordinary guitarist, it can be
easy to forget that just as much passion, soul, and precision went
into his lyrics. Inspired by Bob Dylan, Hendrix was a fearless
lyrical innovator, willing to let his imagination guide him to
landscapes hitherto unexplored within the realm of pop music. From
the existential euphoria of "I Don't Love Today" to the elusive
beauty of "Little Wing" to the psychedelic blues of "My Friend" to
the otherworldly "1983 (A Merman I Should Turn to Be)," his lyrics
remain among the greatest in the pantheon of rock, infused with the
same inventiveness, virtuosity, and courage that informed his
guitar playing. Here are all the words to the Hendrix classics
you've rocked along to for years, as well as unpublished songs from
Valleys of Neptune and other hitherto undiscovered sources. Jimi
Hendrix: The Ultimate Lyrics Book, compiled by Janie L. Hendrix, is
extraordinarily personal. It includes numerous examples of Jimi's
handwritten lyrics, often scribbled on hotel stationery, as well as
photos of Jimi to accompany every song. Much of this material has
never been seen before. Jimi Hendrix: The Ultimate Lyrics Book will
give you a glimpse of the lyricist behind the songs, a songwriter
whose words were just as searing as his solos.

The British duo, Flanders and Swann, were the actor and singer
Michael Flanders (1922-1975) and the composer, pianist and linguist
Donald Swann (1923-1994) who collaborated in writing and performing
comic songs. A chance meeting in 1948 led to a musical partnership
writing songs and light opera that have been sung by performers
such as Ian Wallace and Joyce Grenfell. In December 1956, Flanders
and Swann performed their own two-man revue "At The Drop Of A Hat",
which opened on New Year's Eve. Over the course of 11 years,
Flanders and Swann gave nearly 2,000 live performances. Although
their performing partnership ended in 1967, they remained friends
afterwards and collaborated on occasional projects. Songs of
Flanders and Swann brings together 41 classic songs and represents
