A sinister case of deadly poisoned chocolates from Sodbury Cross's
high street shop haunts the group of friends and relatives
assembled at Bellegarde, among the orchards of 'peach-fancier'
Marcus Chesney. To prove a point about how the sweets could have
been poisoned under the nose of the shopkeeper, Chesney stages an
elaborate memory game to test whether any of his guests can see
beyond their 'black spectacles'; that is, to see the truth without
assumptions as witnesses. During the test - which is also being
filmed - Chesney is murdered by his accomplice, dressed head to toe
in an 'invisible man' disguise. The keen wits of Dr Gideon Fell are
called for to crack this brazen and bizarre murder committed in
full view of an audience. Also known by its US title The Problem of
the Green Capsule, this classic novel is widely regarded as one of
John Dickson Carr's masterpieces and remains among the greatest
impossible crime mysteries of all time.
This follow-up to the bestselling songbook Come All You People
offers 40 previously unpublished songs of similar variety which
have been sung in prisons, on pilgrimages, at open air festivals,
by cathedral choirs, and teenage and in-house music groups. They
are short songs, some from present day Scotland, some from the
World Church. They help people to participate and move in worship
in a way that conventional hymns cannot and can be used as a tool
to help create innovative styles of worship. The book includes
hints on using the material and an appendix of readings and prayers
for use with the songs. Agnus Dei (Aidan)Alleluia (Duncan)Amen

Chapel Royal meets country choir in this collection of eleven
strophic psalm-settings, one anthem and two Christmas hymns, for
four-part choir without organ. These elaborate settings with fugal
passages are suitable for a reasonably competent choir and could
provide useful material for evensongs and concerts. The
introduction attempts to explain how this London composer, who was
trained in the Chapel Royal, came to write music for a country
church in Hertfordshire.
Founded in 1915 by the musicologist William Gillies Whittaker, the
Newcastle-upon-Tyne Bach Choir is one of the oldest Bach choirs in
the United Kingdom. This book celebrates the centenary of the choir
with a multi-author account of the choir's contributions to musical
life and the many personalities who made that possible. It contains
almost 200 illustrations, many of them not previously seen.
Contains 17 songs for the Christmas season. Most of the songs are
for unaccompanied congregational singing, several have been
arranged for choirs, and may serve as anthems or introits. Full
music and notes by the author are provided for each song.
Ken Matthews was working at the CEGB's Marchwood Engineering
Laboratories near Southampton when, in 1977, a group of his
colleagues, who were keen brass band enthusiasts, started "having a
blow" during their lunchtime break. He went along and was soon
given an instrument and taught the rudiments of playing. It was not
long before this group decided to form a brass band and so
Marchwood Brass performed its first engagement later that year. A
sponsorship deal from Vodafone led to a name change in 1989 and the
band is now well established as the New Forest Brass Band. Ken has
been a playing member of this band ever since it started and, as he
has access to a substantial amount of archive information, he has
been able to write this account which traces the band's history
from its inception to the present day. Along the way, the band has
won many cups and performed in numerous concerts and other events.
Ken has remembered incidents, both humorous and more serious, which
have made his book a personal memoir rather than a chronological
historical treatise.
This is the story of the little girl with the magnificent voice
from Savannah, Georgie who sang out to America with the Big Bands
of Harry James and Tommy Dorsey. For two years Connie Haines and
Frank Sinatra, who won the title Best Boy and Girl Singer of the
era, sang shoulder to shoulder on stages across America, singing:
Let's Get Away from It All; Snootie Little Cutie; and Oh, Look At
Me Now. With a foreword by her friend and singing companion Jane
Russell, and comments by Frankie Laine and Rhonda Fleming, you are
transported back to the 1940s and '50s, Big Band Era. With over 50
wonderful, original photos you will relive her days with the Big
Bands and the Abbott and Costello tours and with 'Les Girls' Jane,
Beryl Davis, and Rhonda Fleming. As Jane Russell says, "I'm sure
you'll enjoy learning more about this honourable, faithful,
fun-loving, talented, crystal Chandelier-loving Southern Belle.".
Richard Grudens brings you this heart-warming story of one of
America's best-loved vocalists who still performs today. He
provides you with that special insight into her life.
As a companion to The Best Damn Trumpet Player and The Song Stars,
this is the last of a trilogy, with a foreword by Bob Hope,
explores the world of male vocalists. Richard Grudens initiates a
retrospective tribute to the early singers Al Jolson and Bing
Crosby, Fats Waller and Nat King Cole. His heart-warming interviews
or vignettes with living-legend artists, Frank Sinatra, Jack Jones,
Vic Damone, Steve Lawrence, Tony Martin, Johnny Mathis, Guy
Mitchell, Eddie Fisher, Andy Williams and Don Cornell are
revealing, anecdotal gems. And who could forget Dick Haymes, The
Ink Spots, Ray Eberle and Bob Eberly, and Billy Eckstine. Features:
Donald Mills and the Mills Brothers, Sam Arlen talks of his father,
Harold Arlen, and a look at Lou Lanza, Philadelphia's new singing
star. The author provides a special insight into the lives of the
Music Men and provides over 60 exceptional photographs to enrich
your reading pleasure.
