The sales of organic products have increased significantly over the
last five years in Europe and the USA. This, along with the EU's
definition of organic in 1993, has prompted the publication of a
practical guide which describes what is involved in the processing
and production of organic food ingredients and products. This
handbook emphasizes technological, economic and regulatory issues,
and includes a directory of companies which sell and produce
organic foods and ingredients. It should interest organic food
manufacturers, retailers, wholesalers, organic farmers and growers,
and those in academic research institutions.
The music of the prolific Heitor Villa-Lobos (1887-1959) typifies
Brazil, in its diversity, spirit of racial amalgam, and awesome
beauty. Through the sheer quantity of his output, his original use
of folkloric material, and the striking accessibility of his
scores, Villa-Lobos has become the best-known and most significant
Latin American composer of all time. This book provides an
introduction to his music, and by focusing attention on important
or unusual works from his large oeuvre, charts Villa-Lobos's own
often anguished musical journey through the Brazilian landscape.
Jungle, grasslands, river, city, and ocean all find a legitimate
place in his aural mosaic of Brazil, but as he approached death his
music assumed a deep spiritual quality of peace and resignation.
His personal journey of discovery and fulfilment is clearly
explained, set against the pervasive backdrop of social and
political upheaval which characterized Brazil during Villa-Lobos's
lifetime. Simon Wright has lectured, broadcast, and written on all
aspects of Latin American music, and was awarded the Rocha Miranda
Award of the Anglo-Brazilian Society for research in Brazil.
