This question-and-answer book about Santa Fe, New Mexico contains
400 reminders of what is known and what is sometimes forgotten or
misunderstood about a city that was founded more than four hundred
years ago. Not a traditional history book, this group of questions
is presented in an apparently random order, and the answers
occasionally meander off topic, as if part of a casual
conversation. What you find here will stimulate your curiosity and
invite debate about what history is. References follow each entry.
Black-and-white illustrations, photographs, maps, an index, and
study guides further enliven this unconventional approach. A
compilation of four hundred questions cannot attempt to encompass
all of Santa Fe's history, but the bibliography extends an
invitation to read more and connect to different topics. Also
included is a game ("What Is It?") scattered throughout the text.
ELIZABETH WEST, the editor of this book, is a newcomer to Santa Fe,
having arrived in 1966. Her first job in Santa Fe was as a
waitress, working as a modern-day version of a "Harvey Girl" at La
Fonda. She was born in Boston, but her children and grandchildren
were born in Santa Fe. She worked at the Santa Fe Public Library
off and on for over twenty-five years. During 2010 she served on
the History Task Force for the Santa Fe 400th Committee for the
Commemoration of the 400th Anniversary of the founding of Santa Fe.
This Workbook accompanies The Musician's Guide to Theory and
Analysis, Fourth Edition, and features hundreds of exercises
students can complete on tear-out-and-turn-in pages.
Publishing for children between 1930 and 1960 has been denigrated
as a relatively fallow period for creativity and quality, certainly
in comparison with the 'golden ages' of children's literature that
preceded and succeeded it. This book questions this perception by
using archival evidence to argue that the work of what was
predominantly a female group of editors, illustrators, authors and
librarians (collectively referred to as bookwomen) resulted in many
titles which are still considered as 'classics' today. The
bookwomen reframed ideas about how children's publishing should be
approached and valued and, in doing so, laid the foundations for a
subsequent generation of children's authors and publishers who were
to achieve far greater prominence. The key to the success of the
bookwomen was their willingness to experiment, the strength of
their relationships and their comprehensive understanding of the
book production process. By focusing on a selection of women
working across all aspects of the book production process, this
book demonstrates that, both individually and collectively, women
capitalised on their position as 'other' to the existing male
institutions.
Featuring melodies, rhythms, and improvisation activities, this
Sight-Singing volume features all the material students need to
prepare for the sight-singing portion of the AP (R) exam. The
repertoire for the Fourth Edition has been expanded with additional
works by women and composers of color, including Josephine Lang,
Emilie Mayer, Pauline Viardot, Robert Nathaniel Dett, and many
others. AP (R) is a trademark registered and/or owned by the
College Board, which was not involved in the production of, and

The Musician's Guide to Aural Skills helps students develop skills
in ear-training and sight-singing through a repertoire of real
music that students listen to and perform. Designed to link aural
skills with what students do in the theory classroom, The
Musician's Guide to Aural Skills is closely coordinated with The
Musician's Guide to Theory and Analysis.
Interdisciplinary articles bridge the gulf between classical and
popular music. Modern musical-analytical techniques are applied to
a wide range of Western music, disregarding barriers between
different kinds of music. Topics discussed fall into three
sections: compositional poietics (poietics being the
pre-compositional activities of composer theorists); structuralist
approaches, extending musical-theoretical research to new
repertoires; and musical-analysis employing techniques from other
disciplines. The essays in this volume present current research
into a wide range of Western music, disregarding barriers between
different kinds of music, and drawing on modern musical-analytical
techniques to draw together the varied subjects they explore.

The Musician's Guide: Workbook and Ear-Training provides an
abundance of exercises to give students hands-on practice with the
AP (R) Music Theory skills and course content. Contextual Listening
questions throughout the text are ideal practice for aural skills
questions on the AP (R) exam. The chapters correspond with The
Musician's Guide to Theory and Analysis textbook and emphasize
connection to theory so that both the aural skills and theory are
mutually reinforcing. AP (R) is a trademark registered and/or owned
