Living the Life I Sing: Gospel Music from the Dorsey Era to the
Millennium discusses the foundations of gospel music and how the
form has developed across time to create a genre that reaches far
beyond its geographical borders. In addition, it addresses the
future of the genre and considers its place in the general music
industry. Section One explores the development of Gospel music,
including its transition from the secular path of the blues to a
path of sacred spirituality. Section Two focuses on the rise and
role of the Black church in spreading Gospel music. Topics include
the development of a Gospel methodology, the resistance of the
Black press to "swinging" spirituals, the promise of and challenges
to contemporary Gospel , and the value of live recording. Living
the Life I Sing compiles an outstanding selection of resources to
chronicle Gospel music from its blues-based foundation to its role
in the lives of a post-millennial generation. The book is
well-suited to courses on African-American music, those on the
music business, religious music, and African-American history. It
can also be used in music workshops.
Johann Sebastian Bach's chorale settings have been vital to the
teaching of music ever since they were composed. His four-voiced
harmonisations represent a Baroque composer's approach to melodies
that are often centuries older. As musical styles continued to
evolve, each succeeding generation of teachers and students brought
their own viewpoint to bear on this small corpus of music.
Consequently, during the three centuries since their composition
and a quarter of a millennium since their first publication, a
range of contrasting ideas and approaches has tended to obscure the
fundamental nature of these short yet complex musical works. This
volume of Resources presents a comprehensive selection of
individual phrases and whole chorales in Bach's harmonisations,
together with some alternative settings for comparison. They have
been sorted into five principal types and arranged in an increasing
order of complexity. Every phrase has been meticulously checked for
accuracy against its original version in the cantatas and Passions.
This collection complements any course on chorale harmonisation -
in particular, it provides authentic solutions to the exercises set
in the accompanying Workbook.
This major new collection is the perfect resource for small choirs,
young choirs, and all choirs whose numbers fluctuate week by week.
Each piece is scored flexibly with optional parts or parts for
equal voices, so that it can be performed by more than one
combination of performers; many pieces can also be sung in unison.
The music is accessible - ideal for choirs with limited rehearsal
time - and keyboard parts are playable on organ (with or without
pedals) or piano. The repertoire spans the sixteenth century to the
present day and includes new, flexibly scored arrangements of
traditional pieces, as well as newly commissioned anthems. There
are also pieces in lighter styles, to cater for a broad range of
tastes. With complete coverage of the church year, this is an
essential resource for those looking for fresh and accessible
options for church services.

Research on dubbing in audiovisual productions has been prolific in
the past few decades, which has helped to expand our understanding
of the history and impact of dubbing worldwide. Much of this work,
however, has been concerned with the linguistic aspects of
audiovisual productions, whereas studies emphasizing the importance
of visual and acoustic dimensions are few and far between. Against
this background, Dubbing, Film and Performance attempts to fill a
gap in Audiovisual Translation (AVT) research by investigating
dubbing from the point of view of film and sound studies. The
author argues that dubbing ought to be viewed and analysed
holistically in terms of its visual, acoustic and linguistic
composition. The ultimate goal is to raise further awareness of the
changes dubbing brings about by showing its impact on
characterization. To this end, a tripartite model has been devised
to investigate how visual, aural and linguistic elements combine to
construct characters and their performance in the original
productions and how these are deconstructed and reconstructed in
translation through dubbing. To test the model, the author analyses
extracts of the US television series Buffy the Vampire Slayer and
its French dubbed version.
Theirs had been a love story, a story of friendship, courtship and
marriage, beginning when she was seventeen and he was a dashing
Navy officer. It was a fairytale that never ceased-even Alzheimer's
couldn't come between them. Phyllis Brown relives this
one-of-a-kind love she shared with her husband, Bert, in HELP ME
I'm Slipping. According to the Alzheimer's Association, there are
many signs of the disease. The author noticed some of these signs
in her husband, but she completely ignored them at first. A highly
successful businessman, a gentle yet hardworking person who never
stopped until he accomplished his goals, Bert was adept at hiding
his memory loss. But as soon as it was confirmed that he had
Alzheimer's disease, his wife went into action. Phyllis may not
have been well-equipped with medical information and guidelines,
but she was determined to give all her love and support to make the
last years of Bert's life as happy as they could possibly be. HELP
ME I'm Slipping follows the author's difficult yet rewarding
experience as she helps her husband through the uncharted waters of
Alzheimer's. From her journey, she shares lessons that she learned
with her readers. In each day, she found something they could enjoy
together: moments of love, and even fun and laughter. From
strategies for helping her husband maintain his dignity to tips on
activities that can be enjoyed daily, this book provides a truly
inspiring testament to a love that endures.
