    Initially trained as a sculptor, Anderson did her first performance art piece in the late 1960s. Throughout the 1970s, Anderson did a variety of different performance art activities. She became widely known outside the art world in 1981 when her single "O Superman," reached number two on the UK pop charts. She also starred in and directed the 1986 concert film, Home of the Brave.

    Opera was the prestige genre of the time, and Mozart loved it dearly and counted on it heavily for personal, professional, artistic, and financial reasons. Just the thought of opera, as Mozart wrote, made him "beside myself at once." The world of the operatic stage spoke deeply to his primal instinct for play, his taste for fantasy, and his restless creative imagination. Mozart's operas vie with each other to be considered among the greatest achievements of human artistic striving: Idomeneo, The Abduction from the Harem, The Marriage of Figaro, Così fan tutte, Don Giovanni, The Magic Flute. On September 30, 1791, the last of his masterpieces, The Magic Flute, had premiered in Vienna. Ten weeks later, on December 5, 1791, at the age of 35—when most of us are still hoping for one great accomplishment in our lives—Mozart was dead. What Did Mozart Do? And How Did He Do It? In this course with Professor Robert Greenberg, we are summoned to understand more fully the height of Mozart's operatic achievement by analyzing two masterpieces closely. The course also invites us to fathom the enigma of Mozart's meteoric genius by studying his career and development. Professor Greenberg is not an idolator—he reminds us that Mozart was a man, a human, working to make a name and a living. Professor Greenberg shows that Mozart was an "irreverent revolutionary" who did not worship the past. Accordingly, says Professor Greenberg, "This course is somewhat different from what you might expect. It brings Mozart's art refreshingly down to earth. It does not trivialize opera, nor does it put it on a pedestal." The structure of the course is somewhat unusual. The 24 lectures are in three parts of eight lectures each. The first and third parts concentrate your attention on two works of surpassing beauty and accomplishment, Così fan tutte and The Magic Flute. The middle eight lectures of the course study Mozart's early life and development from the first opera he wrote (when he was 11 years old) to Don Giovanni, completed when he was 31. A Brief Tour of the Course: A Genius in Three ActsPART I: Così fan tutte In his early years in Vienna (1781–1785), Mozart enjoyed considerable success as a composer and performer. By 1785, when he was 29, he was among the highest-paid musicians in Europe, and he and his wife Constanze lived very well. From 1786 onwards, however, he received fewer commissions and opportunities to perform. This was in part because he fell out of favor with any number of Viennese aristocrats as a result of the pointed satire in The Marriage of Figaro of 1786 and partly because of a war with the Ottoman Empire that by 1788 brought austerity to Vienna. In 1789, Mozart and master librettist Lorenzo da Ponte (a Jewish-born, Italian ex-priest) wrote Così fan tutte (All Women Behave Like This). Imperial court composer Antonio Salieri had rejected this project because the libretto dealt with sexual infidelity. By then, both Wolfgang and Constanze had been coping for some time with illness, financial anxieties, family tragedy, and distrust and strife within their marriage. Così fan tutte is one of three operas—the others are The Marriage of Figaro and Don Giovanni—that Mozart wrote with da Ponte. Their collaboration can rightly be considered one of the greatest in the history of opera. Così is a masterpiece of comic opera—opera buffa—and this study of it will establish an operatic vocabulary with which to measure and study Mozart's other operas. PART II: Early Life, Singspiel, and Mastery of the Form Mozart had a lifelong love of the opera, having written his first opera-like composition by the age of 11. A few weeks after that he composed the music for his first opera, Apollo et Hyacinthus. The operatic genre favored by the aristocracy was a type of opera called "heroic" or "serious" opera (opera seria). In 1780, Mozart, then 24, received a commission from Munich to write the opera seria Idomeneo, rè di Creta, based on a character from Homeric myth. Idomeneo premiered on January 29, 1781. It is generally considered the greatest opera seria ever written. Its dramatic momentum sweeps away the traditional rituals of opera seria; the characters are given depth and substance that transcend their archetypes, and Mozart's compositional technique reaches an unprecedented level of mastery. In 1781, Mozart's unhappiness in the service of the Archbishop of Salzburg brought about his dismissal. His musical genius quickly found an appreciative audience in the Habsburg capital of Vienna, where he was invited to write an opera for the new Imperial German Theater. The result was The Abduction from the Harem of 1782. It was, in Mozart's lifetime, his most popular work. After The Abduction, Mozart did not complete and produce another opera until 1786—The Marriage of Figaro. Lorenzo da Ponte wrote the libretto for what would be his and Mozart's first and greatest masterwork. The next year, Mozart collaborated again with da Ponte, and Don Giovanni was the result. The libretto recounts the ancient morality tale of Don Juan, whose lack of conscience and restraint doom him. You hear how Mozart imbued Don Giovanni with an extraordinary degree of momentum and dramatic interaction, all the while using the orchestra to knit together and give context to the vocal parts. The second act finale is one of the greatest conclusions in all of opera. PART III: The Magic Flute In 1791, Mozart and fellow Mason Emanuel Schikaneder collaborated on a singspiel that premiered on September 30, 1791. The Magic Flute was immensely popular, and history has shown it to be one of the most successful operas ever written. Its libretto, on the surface, is a farrago of obscure Masonic lore that has been injected into a standard boy-meets-girl fairy tale plot, set against a faux-Egyptian background, and relieved by the low-comedy antics of a character resembling an 18th-century Austrian Big Bird. But when Mozart took hold of the material, the result was something transcendent, not just because the music was superb but because Mozart used it to illustrate character, to reveal emotion, to propel action, and to weave a world on stage as fully realized and fascinatingly imagined as anything in the dramatic repertoire. Ironically, with money finally coming in, Mozart died just 10 weeks after The Magic Flute's premiere. Works you’ll hear in the lectures are excerpted from: Apollo et Hyacinthus, K. 38 (1767) Bastien und Bastienne, K. 50 [K. 46b] (1768) La finta semplice, K. 51 [K 46a] (1769)Lucio Silla, K. 135 (1772)La finta giardiniera, K. 196 (1775)Il rè pastore, K. 208 (1775)Idomeneo, rè di Creta, K. 366 (1781)The Abduction from the Harem, K. 384 (1782)The Marriage of Figaro, K. 492 (1786)Don Giovanni, K. 527 (1787)Così fan tutte, K. 588 (1789)The Magic Flute, K. 620 (1791)

    Front man in an almost famous band. Judge on The Great Pottery Throwdown. How did all that happen?By accident mostly. But I always say we make our own luck. What if an art teacher hadn't given me a lump of clay? What if the band had been really successful? What if I hadn't taken a photograph of a bowl to the buyer at Heals in London?

That video.Sifting through half-forgotten memories, trying to pick out the golden nuggets from the stuff that is definitely dross has been a curious, and at times hilarious, sometimes sad, but definitely enlightening process. So here it is - my pottery life with some very loud music and some pretty good dancing. And a lot of throwing, fettling and firing. Oh ...and a good dose of anxiety.

    Written by David Clayton and Todd K. Smith, the narrative guides the reader through the foundation and early influences that inspired four young musicians to combine forces and plunge headlong into the late sixties revolving music scene. Entitled Heavy Load, this 300-page epic catalogues the long months of a struggling band playing smoke filled pubs eventually winning an overwhelming fan adoration. It marks the heady days of having a hit single and album, which eventually lead to the inevitable first split in 1971. The short-lived splinter bands, KKTR, Peace and Toby, are explored and the reasons for Frees reformation in 1972 explained. This volume runs right to the very end of their career in 1973 and into the early exploits of Bad Company, Sharks and Back Street Crawler leading inevitably to the tragic death of Paul Kossoff in 1976, the true end of Free. Their legacy lives on through musicians as diverse as Lynyrd Skynyrd, The Black Crowes, Ocean Colour Scene, Paul Weller and Gov't Mule, all who have sighted them as a major influence. Their mentor, Alexis Korner, called them "The last major band to come out of the sixties", and famed producer, Al Kooper hails them as "The greatest band that ever lived".

    The Grennan Larter, lead singer and guitarist of The Rising Sun. It had happened so fast, but somehow, plain old Brooklyn Cooper had captured the rock star. It was wonderful and fun; he was caring, attentive, and as cliché as it was, he thought I was the rising sun … and setting sun, and everything in between. I was in love and so was he. And then it all fell apart. All I thought I knew … well … let’s just say I wasn’t sure I could trust myself anymore. I had a war waging in my head, and I wasn’t sure who would win, or rather, who I wanted to win. I felt like I was going crazy. And then it all finally clicked. I finally understood why my life had gone in the direction it had. It was the shape of my life.

    It is intended to encourage the tradition of kanikapila. The emphasis is on accurate Hawaiian lyrics and translation. Simple chording and fingering for the ukulele is shown for each song. The lyrics are large for easy reading. It is in a workbook format, with ring binding, large print and room to make notes. Kanikapila: The word kanikapila, literally "play music," has come to mean gathering together informally to sing and play. It was not so long ago that kanikapila was part of our daily lives in Hawai'i. Over the last generation music has moved from the garage party to the concert stage. It has become something to listen to rather than participate in. There is a sense today that singing is reserved for those who are really "good" at it. Still, many people yearn to kanikapila. Translations: English translations favor a less than literal approach, as the translator tried to capture not only the specifics of the language but the essence of the song. Existing translations were edited in order to provide a level of consistency, and were sometimes adjusted to reflect more recent understandings of the poetry. When translations were not available, they have been written anew. Melody and phrasing is not provided-you must know the song to sing it. Most of these songs have been recorded, and one purpose of this book is to encourage support of Hawai'i's composers and entertainers. Profits from sales go to Lunalilo Home.

    Is it pearls of wisdom from an experienced pro, or rambling drivel from a burnt out road dog? I guess that's up to you the readers. (Reviews have been kind.) The book has anecdotes from the road, essays, advice, cartoons and more - all with humor and a sense of how special it is to be a musician and working with other great players.The most often quoted excerpt from the book is "In the Beginning" - a quasi biblical chapter about bass playing - it's circulated around all the Net numerous times, as forwarded humor.An early review: ".... a fun melange of wisdom that could have come only from someone who's logged as many road miles and studio hours as Tony Levin. At times whimsical and at times profound, the book provides a unique glimpse into the life of a top-echelon working musician. Nowhere else can you learn as much about bass and life--we all benefit from Tony's decades of experience with both." ------Karl Coryat, Senior Editor, Bass Player Magazine

    "Who by Fire is a stunning resurrection of a moment in the life of Leonard Cohen and the history of Israel. It’s the story of a young artist in crisis and a young country at war, and the powerful resonance of the chord struck between them. A beautiful, haunting book full of feeling." —Nicole Krauss, author of To Be a Man In October, 1973, the poet and singer Leonard Cohen – 39 years old, famous, unhappy, and at a creative dead end – traveled to the Sinai desert and inserted himself into the chaos and bloodshed of the Yom Kippur War. Moving around the front with a guitar and a pick-up team of local musicians, Cohen dived headlong into the midst of a global crisis and met hundreds of fighting men and women at the worst moment of their lives. His audiences heard him knowing it might be the last thing they heard, and those who survived never forgot what they heard. Cohen’s war tour was an electric cultural moment, one that still echoes today, and one that inspired some of his greatest songs – but a moment that only few knew about, until now. In Who By Fire, Canadian-Israeli journalist Matti Friedman gives us a riveting account of what happened during those weeks in Israel in October, 1973. With access to amazing and never-before-seen material written by Cohen himself, along with dozens of interviews and rare photographs, Friedman revives this fraught and stunning time, presenting an intimate and unforgettable portrait of the artist, and of the young people who heard him sing in the midst of combat. Who By Fire brings us close to one the greatest, most brilliant and charismatic voices of our times, and gives us a rare glimpse of war, faith, and belonging.

    It enables teachers to develop musicianship, finger technique (strength, independence, perfect legato and staccato, gradation (sharp contrasts of loud and soft first, and then getting louder and softer), recognition of basic key concepts, reinforcing reading in familiar keys with advances in other concepts (either tone, articulation or addition of new skills) and a clear feel of rhythm using familiar tunes and enjoyable "talk about" integration of theoretical and aural aspects. It is also hoped that with the familiar tunes parents also know, support and encouragement, so vital during these early stages will be given by them. This basic firm and "Step by Step" concept gradually frees out into the Classical world of styles and interpretation, not forgetting that major part of "Fun Pieces" still included at the back of every book for the enjoyment of the children and parents.Contents:爸爸，妈妈我爱你 (Papa, Mama, I Love You)Mary Had a Little Lamb同作乐London BridgeThe ChimesThe TrainKuching TownGood MorningGoodbye To You小猪Ding Dong BellOld MacDonaldYankee DoodleClap Your Hands If You're HappyThanks Giving HymnChan Mali ChanTwinkle Twinkle Little StarI Love MusicThe FairHello HelloThe StairsI'm A Little Tea-PotRow, Row!Two Clean HandsCoconutLightly RowI Saw Three Ships Go Sailing ByPolly Puts the Kettle OnOh Where Oh Where Has My Little Dog Gone小小蚂蚁我们一同瞧Oh How Lovely Is The EveningTen Little IndiansSkip to My Lou!Perfect PostureBaa Baa Black SheepClementineSailing小鼓号唱歌跳舞The Music MakersHear Our DrumsThe Church OrganBingo同欢喜玩乐In The MoonlightFreddi Song

    At a time when South Africa was embroiled in the Border wars, PW Botha was Die Groot Krokodil and Potchefstroom University was debating whether dancing was a sin, an eccentric mix of young Afrikaans artists took to the road and became the voice of their generation. Their goal was the emancipation of Afrikaner youth from the strictures of their authoritarian, patriarchal culture, and they would make it cool to be an Afrikaner. Organised by Vrye Weekblad and Shifty Records, the Voelvry tour featured, among others, Andre Letoit (Koos Kombuis), Johannes Kerkorrel en die Gereformeerde Blues Band, and Bernoldus Niemand (James Phillips) en die Swart Gevaar. This title, based on interviews with participants and observers, reconstructs those heady days. It is a rollicking read that will appeal to those who were there, those who say they were there and those who wish they were there. Illustrated with photographs of the event.

    All are accompanied by her drawings and formatted according to hours of the day.Book of Hours was created to be viewed on a handheld digital device. Taking the idea of the medieval prayer book into the virtual age, it provides light but also underscores our vast separation from the natural and spiritual worlds. It’s a guide for the days ahead: an hourly reminder of the often overlooked beauty of time and season; an acknowledgement of the interconnectedness of all living things and a plea to value the lives of the animals with whom, as temporary visitors on planet Earth, we share time and space; a memento mori for this dark age of the Anthropocene; and, hopefully, a vehicle for transcendence.

    The companion recording contains two musical settings for Holy Communion, along with additional psalms and songs.

    The 87 songs -- picked from DM s past 11 studio albums and myriad B sides -- span two and a half decades, and are gathered together in one volume along with their translation in French. The translation, which appears in front of each original lyric, has been painstakingly prepared by French DM aficionado JUGURTHA HARCHAOUI. The latter put the whole thing together over a several-year period with Martin Gore s blessing. He received help from world-renowned Dutch photographer ANTON CORBIJN, who provided the rare black-and-white portrait adorning the cover. The book also benefits from the contribution of legendary German artist KLAUS VOORMANN, who supplied half-a-dozen original illustrations made specifically for the book. The band s greatest classics enjoyed such massive commercial success over the decades, it is easy to forget the masterful language, the timelessness and, quite often, the dry wit that characterize them. The translator annotated the French version with an unstinting eye for detail and rock history, allowing us to connect Gore's unique voice as a British songsmith with the American blues-and-rock tradition that, often, informs those songs. The 87-song retrospective is compiled into one lavish volume, more akin to a fine vintage poetry book than a typical rock coffee-table tome. Foreword by rock journalist Gerard Bar-David (Rolling Stone France, Best) who de facto acted as France s DM expert ever since their debut back in 1981. Translation by Jugurtha Harchaoui.

    Moss.It was only two decades ago, but, for the women of country music, 1999 seems like an entirely different universe. With Shania Twain, country’s biggest award winner and star, and The Chicks topping every chart, country music was a woman’s world: specifically, country radio and Nashville’s Music Row.Cut to 2021, when women are only played on country radio 16% of the time, on a good day, and when only men have won Entertainer of the Year at the CMA Awards for a decade. To a world where artists like Kacey Musgraves sell out arenas but barely score a single second of airplay. But also to a world where these women are infinitely bigger live draws than most male counterparts, having massive pop crossover hits like Maren Morris’s “The Middle,” pushing the industry to confront its deeply embedded racial biases with Mickey Guyton’s “Black Like Me,” winning heaps of Grammy nominations, banding up in supergroups like The Highwomen and taking complete control of their own careers, on their own terms. When the rules stopped working for the women of country music, they threw them out and made their own: and changed the genre forever, and for better.Her Country is veteran Nashville journalist Marissa R. Moss’s story of how in the past two decades, country’s women fought back against systems designed to keep them down, armed with their art and never willing to just shut up and sing: how women like Kacey, Mickey, Maren, The Chicks, Miranda Lambert, Rissi Palmer, Brandy Clark, LeAnn Rimes, Brandi Carlile, Margo Price and many more have reinvented the rules to find their place in an industry stacked against them, how they’ve ruled the century when it comes to artistic output—and about how women can and do belong in the mainstream of country music, even if their voices aren’t being heard as loudly.
