orchestral works and many other forms of music, including chamber
works and art songs. He also wrote many operas, excerpts from which

Bumblebee" as well as the suite from "The Tale of Tsar Saltan."

by Pushkin's poetry, " The Golden Cockerel," a controversial satire

as an acted adaptation at the New Theatre, Cambridge from 10-14

Shakespeare's play in place of changes made by an anonymous

Of all the major singers of the late 20th century, Nina Simone was
one of the hardest to label. She recorded extensively in soul,
jazz, and pop and was also comfortable with blues, gospel, and
Broadway. She has subsequently been labelled as a 'soul' singer in
terms of emotion, rather than form. Her repertoire included jazz
standards, gospel and spirituals, classical music, folk songs of
diverse origin, blues, pop, songs from musicals and opera, African
chants as well as her own compositions. Nina Simone Piano Songbook
Volume 1 contains authentic piano and vocal transcriptions of 15 of
her best-known songs, including Feeling Good, I Put a Spell On You,
Sinnerman and My Baby Just Cares For Me, with guitar chord boxes.

players to produce the final score for a game, through case studies
of the Nintendo Entertainment System sound hardware configuration,
and game scores, including the canonic scores for Super Mario Bros.
(1985) and The Legend of Zelda (1986). This book is recommended

island of Iona in the sixth century, the work of George MacLeod
whose inspiration placed Iona firmoly on the Christian map once

Community, touching the map of human experience - spirituality,

symbol of the Holy Spirit.
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Interspersed with the lyrics are previously unpublished facsimile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.
