The music of Pulitzer Prize winning composer Michael Colgrass is
the music of our time. His works have been commissioned, performed
and recorded by major symphony orchestras and noted soloists around
the world, and his distinctive voice - steeped in a number of
musical histories and styles - has been praised and lauded by
critics and audiences alike. Colgrass' "uncanny ability to write
accessible music that simultaneously challenges the intellect and
stirs the emotions" is the subject of this book. Colgrass' artistic
development; the evolution of his work towards "a polyphony of
musics"; and his background in acting and theater training are
examined at length. Two particular works - Deja vu and Winds of
Nagual - are considered in some detail. Colgrass' recent works have
involved fusing the many layers of cultural styles, moving towards
a grand synthesis of his "counterpoint of characters." Musicians,
performers, conductors, admirers of Colgrass' works, wind band
enthusiasts, and devotees of contemporary music will all find A
Counterpoint of Characters stimulating reading.

The illustrious career of the Brazilian singer Elizeth Cardoso goes
way back to when she was a lounge and radio singer in the 1930s and
`40s. In fact, French vocal icon Edith Piaf was counted among her
many admirers, and Cardoso was revered in Brazil the way Mahalia
Jackson and Frank Sinatra were in the USA. While Cardoso preferred
samba, she actually recorded the first full bossa nova album (with
songs by Tom Jobim) in 1958. In 1966, she got together with peer
Ciro Monteiro for a whirlwind tour of bossa nova favorites--A BOSSA
ETERNA consists of medleys of Brazilian songs, both well-known and
not.
