Examines Joseph Joachim's vital legacy through a range of philological, philosophical and critical approaches. Joseph Joachim (1831-1907), violinist, composer, teacher, and founding director of Berlin's Royal Academy of Music, was one of the most eminent and influential musicians of the long nineteenth century. Born in a tiny Jewish community on the Austro-Hungarian border, he rose to a position of unsurpassed prominence in European cultural life. This timely collection of essays explores important yet little-known aspects of Joachim's life and art. Studies of his Jewish background, early assimilation into Christian society, Felix Mendelssohn's mentorship, and the influence of Hungarian vernacular music on the formation of his musical style elucidate the roots of Joachim's identity. The later chapters focus on his personal and creative responses to the contentious and rapidly evolving cultural milieu in which he lived: his choice of instruments as his musical "voice," his performances as sites of (re)enchantment in the modern age, his pathbreaking British career, his calling and sway as a quartet player, his pedagogical legacy, his influence on the establishment of the musical canon, and several of his most distinctive and original compositions. With a wide variety of approaches-analytical, philological, archival, philosophical, and critical-this collection will prove enlightening to scholars, performers, and others interested in this brilliant artist and the musical aesthetics, culture, and styles of his time.

"Whirlwind" is a spiritual self-help book that journeys through the book of Job, addressing questions about life's struggles and our expectations of God. The book challenges readers to be honest about religious faith and includes themes of mystery, justice and theology. Horne and Eades address these themes by presenting thirty homilies on the biblical book of Job. Each homily is then followed by a fictional pastoral counseling session. These sessions aim to portray individuals grappling with the challenges of being honest about faith while retaining faith. This religious honesty is more challenging than people usually admit. Horne and Eades each bring over 30 years of experience to their respective fields. Horne is a biblical scholar and professor of religion whose in-depth study of the biblical book of Job began with his dissertation at Oxford. Eades is a psychotherapist and pastoral counselor who has served on church staffs and is now in private practice. Together they bring the age-old questions of Job to bear on the struggles of modern life, challenging the reader to examine deeply held assumptions about what it means to live a life of faith in the midst of great suffering.
