Vaughan Williams fist encountered the old English folk song Dives
and Lazarus when he was 21, and here presents five variants that
are, in his own words, 'not exact replicas of traditional tunes but
rather reminiscences of various versions in my own collection and
those of others'. The work was premiered in Carnegie Hall as part
of the 1939 New York World's Fair, and is a wonderful example of
the sumptuous string textures and modal tonalities that have become
the composer's trademarks.

This is the first biography of the jazz trumpeter Lee Morgan
(1938-72). He was a prodigy: recruited to Dizzy Gillespie's big
band while still a teenager, joining Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers
not much after, by his early-20s Morgan had played on four
continents and dozens of albums. The trumpeter would go on to
cultivate a personal and highly influential style, and to make
records - most notably "The Sidewinder" - which would sell amounts
almost unheard of in jazz. While what should have been Morgan's
most successful years were hampered by a heroin addiction, the
ascendant black liberation movement of the late-60s gave the
musician a new, political impulse, and he returned to the jazz
scene to become a vociferous campaigner for black musicians' rights
and representation. But Morgan's personal life remained troubled,
and during a fight with his girlfriend at a New York club, he was
shot and killed, aged 33.
"Boland's clear, accessible text reflects years of professional
experience as a performer and teacher of the one-key flute. Her
book answers all the practical needs of beginners and offers
advanced flutists a wealth of useful information. Even players
wedded to the Boehm flute will gain fresh musical insights from
Boland's comprehensive method."--Laurence Libin, Department of
Musical Instruments, Metropolitan Museum of Art
"This is the best introduction to the one-key (baroque) flute
for Boehm system flute players available today. With her
comprehensive knowledge of the numerous historical treatises and
tutors and her extensive practical experience as a player and
teacher, Jan Boland has fashioned a guide that is at the same time
informative and enjoyable. I only wish it had been available when I
set out to learn the one-key flute. It would have saved me much
time and led me directly to the most important sources."--John
Thow, composer and Professor of Music at the University of
California, Berkeley
"An easy-to-read format, clear prose, attractive graphics, and
well chosen and very legible music make it an ideal beginner's
tutor."--Betty Bang Mather, Professor Emeritus, University of Iowa
