Serious scholarship on the music of Ralph Vaughan Williams is
currently enjoying a lively revival after a period of relative
quiescence, and is only beginning to address the enduring affection
of concert audiences for his music. The essays that comprise this
volume extend the study of Vaughan Williams's music in new
directions that will be of interest to scholars, performers and
listeners alike. This volume contains the work of eleven North
American scholars who have been recipients of the Ralph Vaughan
Williams Fellowship based at the composer's own school,
Charterhouse, which was created and has been supported by the
Carthusian Trust since 1985. This wide-ranging and detailed
collection of essays covers the spectrum of genres in which Vaughan
Williams wrote, including dance, symphony, opera, song, hymnody and
film music. The contributors also employ a range of analytical and
historical methods of investigation to illuminate aspects of
Vaughan Williams's compositional techniques and influences,
musical, literary and visual.

How do you have a life when everyone in America thinks you gave the
president-elect a fatal heart attack during an illicit sex
romp?
Emma Jamison never thought she'd have to answer that question, but
here she is, smack dab in the middle of a political scandal that
would make Monica Lewinsky blush. Trouble is, nobody believes that
Emma wasn't the call-girl who killed the president-to-be with her,
uh, carnal skills.
So Emma packs up and moves to small-town Chartreuse, LA, to escape
her infamy and to start over. But when her grandmother starts
dating the grandfather of district attorney Max Duval, the quiet
life she was seeking blows up in smoke.

reach Lily's dad, a sperm donor. After all, he is a blood relative
and she believes family should raise family. Zack doesn't know what

usually get to meet their...well, he's not sure what to call Lily

spending time with Quinn, Lily, and Margaret, he's even more
certain that this is the place he wants to be. Together, Quinn,
Lily, Margaret, and Zack will learn that there are many different
roads to family.
