How to Direct a Musical is a step-by-step guide for anyone interested in creating a musical play. Writing in a style that is informal and accessible, David Young covers all aspects of directing, from initial casting through to dress rehearsals and the first performances. The range is comprehensive, covering choreography and musical direction as well as strictly dramatic theatrical presentation. A uniquely useful feature of the book is a diary that chronicles the decisions and reasoning of the director of a professional production, allowing the reader to examine the creative thought processes involved in bringing a musical to the stage.
"David Young's version of Petrarch will refresh our images of the
West's crucial lyric poet. We are given a Petrarch in our own
vernacular, with echoes of Wyatt, Shakespeare, and many who come
after." --Harold Bloom
"Ineffable sweetness, bold, uncanny sweetness"
"that came to my eyes from her lovely face; "
"from that day on I'd willingly have closed them, "
"never to gaze again at lesser beauties."
--from Sonnet 116
Petrarch was born in Tuscany and grew up in the south of France. He
lived his life in the service of the church, traveled widely, and
during his lifetime was a revered, model man of letters.
Petrarch's greatest gift to posterity was his Rime in vita e morta
di Madonna Laura, the cycle of poems popularly known as his
songbook. By turns full of wit, languor, and fawning, endlessly
inventive, in a tightly composed yet ornate form they record their
speaker's unrequited obsession with the woman named Laura. In the
centuries after it was designed, the "Petrarchan sonnet," as it
would be known, inspired the greatest love poets of the English
language-from the times of Spenser and Shakespeare to our own.
David Young's fresh, idiomatic version of Petrarch's poetry is the
most readable and approachable that we have. In his skillful hands,
Petrarch almost sounds like a poet out of our own tradition
bringing the wheel of influence full circle.
During the last two decades, the pharmaceutical industry has been
under pressure to reduce development costs and the time needed to
bring drugs to market in order to maximize return on investment and
bring treatments to patients sooner. To meet these ends,
pharmaceutical scientists working in the differing areas of
pharmacy, pharmaceutics, and pharmacokinetics are collaborating to
address physicochemical and biological issues in the early stages
of development to avoid problems in later stages. In Vitro-In Vivo
Correlation (IVIVC) is a multidisciplinary tool that has been
successfully applied in testing the effectiveness of a drug
substance. The only comprehensive guide available on IVIVC, this
source illustrates the emerging importance of IVIVC in the drug
development process, and covers the most recent advances and
regulatory perspectives on the role of IVIVC in the pharmaceutical
industry.
First published in 1980, this book provides a clear and practical
introduction to a wide variety of English structures. It
concentrates on a large and crucial area of English grammar, which
covers units of higher rank than words, and structures that have
verbs rather than nouns as their nuclear elements. Throughout the
book, David Young focuses on the English language as it is actually
spoken. At every point his discussion of syntax is closely
integrated with meaning, and he pays particular attention to the
ways in which speakers of English signal their intensions. The
author points out how verbal patterning is meaningful, and outlines
the criteria used by grammarians to distinguish one structure from
another. The result is an analytical framework that can be applied
to any real-life text in order to understand its structure. This is
a book that will encourage a realistic, exploratory and
investigative attitude towards the English language.
How to Direct a Musical is a lively and practical guide to the
seemingly overwhelming task of directing a musical. David Young
brings to this handbook his extensive experience as a director of
over 100 productions and more than 250 workshops in the US, China,
Senegal and Brazil. Young takes a pragmatic, do-it-yourself
approach, guiding the reader from planning to casting, rehearsal to
opening night. Topics covered include script analysis,
collaboration with designers, musical directors, choreographers and
crew, eliminating lengthy pauses between scenes, dress rehearsals
and curtain calls.

An illuminating look at a fundamental yet understudied aspect of
Italian Renaissance painting The Italian Renaissance picture is
renowned for its depiction of the human figure, from the dramatic
foreshortening of the body to create depth to the subtle blending
of tones and colors to achieve greater naturalism. Yet these
techniques rely on a powerful compositional element that often goes
overlooked. Groundwork provides the first in-depth examination of
the complex relationship between figure and ground in Renaissance
painting. "Ground" can refer to the preparation of a work's
surface, the fictive floor or plane, or the background on which
figuration occurs. In laying the material foundation, artists
perform groundwork, opening the ground as a zone that can precede,
penetrate, or fracture the figure. David Young Kim looks at the
work of Gentile da Fabriano, Giovanni Bellini, Giovanni Battista
Moroni, and Caravaggio, reconstructing each painter's methods to
demonstrate the intricacies involved in laying ground layers whose
translucency and polychromy permeate the surface. He charts
significant transitions from gold ground painting in the Trecento
to the darkened grounds in Baroque tenebrism, and offers close
readings of period texts to shed new light on the significance of
ground forms such as rock face, wall, and cave. This beautifully
illustrated book reconceives the Renaissance picture, revealing the
passion and mystery of groundwork and discovering figuration beyond
the human figure.
Beethoven Symphonies Revisited guides the reader -- music student,
concert goer, or general music lover -- through the movements in a
way that renews the novelty and excitement that listeners must have
felt at the first performances. Stylistic discussion concentrates
on the unusual features of each symphony, placing each individual
work in the context of Beethovens musical advancement and
circumstances. His musical innovations are explored, and his
contribution to the genre assessed. Thirty author-annotated musical
pages elaborate and exemplify. The essential building blocks of
key, tonality, metre, rhythm and instrumentation are discussed in
detail. The authors purpose is twofold: to bring together major
research findings and at the same time offer detailed descriptive
analyses of all nine symphonies. The approach is singular in its
emphasis on the symphonies in the context of performance practice
of the time, especially musical direction; the importance of the
wind instruments (especially horns) and kettle drums; how
counterpoint features in various passages in all the symphonies
except the Sixth and Eighth, and how this was influenced by
Beethovens strict training in species counterpoint. New evaluations
are offered, especially for the Second, Eighth and Ninth
symphonies. The books multi-faceted approach will be invaluable not
only for conductors and music students at all levels, but for all
concert goers and music lovers who wish to gain insight into the
musical intricacies developed and enhanced by Beethovens symphonic
journey. Illustrations: 30 annotated musical score pages comprising
99 examples linked to text explanations; autographed manuscripts;
performance venues; and instruments of the period. Illustrations:

The year is 1987. Having made history by becoming the UK's first
female Prime Minister and then driving out the most left-wing
manifesto the country has ever seen, Margaret Thatcher faces a
climactic third election campaign. Her eight years in power have
been pivotal in guiding the UK back onto the path towards
prosperity, and as he surveys the scene, David Young, Secretary of
State for Employment, can see the fragile seeds of Thatcher's
government beginning to grow. But this third election threatens to
destroy it all, plunging the nation back into the chaos of union
militancy, the three-day week and the Winter of Discontent, when
Britain ground to a halt and even the bodies lay unburied. Drafted
in to run the campaign, Young knows one thing for certain: the
country cannot afford to go back. Written in lucid, powerful prose,
Young's remarkable diary of the election that set the UK on course
for the next thirty years invites readers into the room with the
key players, including the Prime Minister herself. Full of
gut-wrenching claustrophobia, tension and paranoia, Inside
Thatcher's Last Election reveals the personality clashes that
threatened to derail the campaign from the beginning and presents a
very different woman from the Thatcher we think we know. For those
in the eye of the storm, there was little doubt about what was at
stake: the future of Britain's enterprise.
Detective Sergeant Eigil Holst is on holiday in the countryside
when the body of a baby is washed up on the banks of a nearby lake.
The local magistrate orders the lake to be drained and the body of
a young woman is discovered, naked and weighed down with stones
tied to her feet and neck. Her identity is a mystery. Holst then
takes it upon himself to find out where this woman came from, why
she was in this remote location and who could have had motive to
kill her. His investigations take him across Scandinavia and into
central Europe as, gradually, he realises that the solution to the
mystery could have huge implications for his own future. Originally
published in 1903, The Forest Lake Mystery is considered to be the
very first Danish crime novel, and the annual Danish crime writing
awards are named in honour of its author, Palle Rosenkrantz.
What does it mean to be a disciple? The call of discipleship is
more than programs and Bible study. In King Jesus and the Beauty of
Obedience-Based Discipleship, David Young presents a bold call for
obedience-based discipleship and argues that it alone is the proper
response to the kingship of Jesus. Many have wrongly associated
obedience with bad theology, believing that Jesus' demand for
obedience is a form of works righteousness or legalism. Others
simply don't like obedience and resist the demands Jesus makes in
calling us to follow him. But if we surrender to the kingship of
Jesus, we will find the life we were designed to live. We are
accustomed to calling Jesus "Savior." And we should. But until
recently, many in the Western church have not learned to call Jesus
"King." The kingship of Jesus has implications for how we live. We
can either rebel against him, raising puppet kings and constructing
our own kingdoms, or we can submit to him in obedience-based
discipleship. Could it be that you are still sitting on the throne
of your life, treating King Jesus as a mere advisor? What would
change in your life if you started treating Jesus as nothing short
of your King? Young unpacks five principles for those who wish to
follow Jesus as King. Surrender to the authority of King Jesus
Embrace the mission of King Jesus Live immersed in King Jesus Obey
the teachings of King Jesus Behold the presence of King Jesus
Following these five steps awakens us to a life truly worth living,
a life of power, peace, beauty, and love. This is eternal life,
that we would know and follow Jesus as King of the Universe, and
king over our lives. After all, you don't merely believe in kings.
You obey them.

The Stasi and MI6 clash in this gripping Cold War crime thriller,
from the award-winning author of Stasi Child.
______________________ Dresden, East Germany, 1980 - A man's body
is found buried in concrete at a building site in the new town
district. When People's Police homicide captain Karin Muller
arrives at the scene, she discovers that all of the body's
identifiable features have been removed - including its fingertips.
The deeper Muller digs, the more the Stasi begin to hamper her
investigations. She soon realises that this crime is just one part
of a clandestine battle between two secret services - the Stasi of
East Germany and Britain's MI6 - to control the truth behind one of
the deadliest events of World War II. The Stasi Game brilliantly
fictionalises the true story of how Britain's wartime leaders
justifed the fire-bombing of German city of Dresden, which many
have since condemned as a war crime.
