Practice and Performance Method for Flutists

By: Abigail Walsh

Plugged In: Practice and Performance Method for Flutists" is an innovative flute method book that uniquely integrates electronic tools to enhance tonal, technical, and rhythmic stability. In the realm of music, the flute possesses a unique ability to stir emotions and captivate listeners. However, to unlock the full potential of this instrument, one must delve into a path of self-discovery and technical mastery. Divided into three distinct sections, the initial section provides foundational knowledge and skills, setting the stage for effective utilization of the electronic tools discussed in the subsequent sections. Readers of this book are likely already acquainted with the basics of flute playing, yet it is anticipated that they will find value in a comprehensive review, discover fresh insights into these crucial skills, and derive enjoyment from the new exercises. 1. Preparing the Body to Play in Tone and in Tune: The initial section starts with the basics - posture, breathing, embouchure, and tone production, emphasizing the nuances of tone color and tuning. This section introduces new exercises to enhance control and expression and aims to provide fresh insights and enjoyment, refining the foundational skills necessary for advanced techniques. 2. Drone Studies - Blending and Accuracy: This section harnesses the power of drone studies, crucial for musical development. It includes access to drones of the tonic and fifth in just intonation for all twelve chromatic notes, available in three timbres (oboe, flute, and clarinet) on Conway Publications' YouTube page and other streaming platforms. These drones vary from most harmonic to hollow timbres, offering a rich palette for blending and accuracy exercises. The method trains flutists to adjust tone color, dynamics, and vibrato, while rhythmic drones sharpen timing and precision. 3. Delay Studies - Precision and Artistry: The final section explores 10 original delay studies composed by Christian Glascock. Delay studies enhance rhythmic accuracy and cultivate musicianship as you adjust your playing and refine your timing by playing with an echo of yourself! Each study, inspired by nature's power and transformative ability, captures unique aspects of the natural world - the balance of life, the passage of time, and the interplay between formidable forces and nurturing qualities. These pieces require dynamic interaction with software, synchronizing performances with past iterations. The studies are designed to enhance tone, intonation, and phrasing, deepening the theoretical understanding of music while offering fulfilling musical experiences. Electronic Tools included in method or free to access: Drone Tracks of Various Timbres; Rhythmic Drone Tracks; Analog Rack Delay Application (ARDelay); Digital Audio Workstation. "Plugged In: Practice and Performance Method for Flutists" is more than a method book; it is a journey into the heart of flute playing, blending traditional skills with innovative electronic tools. It's an invitation to explore the expressive potential of the flute, understand the beauty of rhythmic precision, and form a deeper connection with the instrument"--

Joy

Poet, Seeker, and the Woman Who Captivated C. S. Lewis

By: Abigail Santamaria

“A lush Narnia tale for grownups”: The first comprehensive biography of the rebel thinker who married C. S. Lewis (Megan Marshall, Pulitzer Prize winner). If Joy Davidman is known at all, it’s as the wife of C. S. Lewis, author of The Chronicles of Narnia. On her own, she was a poet and radical, a contributor to the communist journal New Masses, and an active member of New York literary circles of the 1930s and ’40s. Growing up in a family of Jewish immigrants in the Bronx, she became an atheist, then a practitioner of Dianetics, and finally a Christian convert after experiencing a moment of transcendent grace. She was also a mother, a novelist, a screenwriter, and an intelligent, difficult, and determined woman. In 1952 she set off for England to pursue C. S. Lewis, the man she considered her spiritual guide and her intellectual mentor. Out of a deep friendship grounded in faith, poetry, and a passion for writing grew a timeless love story, and an unforgettable marriage of equals—one that would be immortalized in the film Shadowlands and Lewis’s memoir, A Grief Observed. “Plumbing the depths of unpublished documents, Santamaria reveals the vision and writing of a young woman whose coming of age in the turbulent thirties is both distinctive and emblematic of her time” (Susan Hertog, author of Anne Morrow Lindbergh: Her Life). Finally, Joy Davidman is brought out of her husband’s shadow to secure a place in literary history that is both a long-time coming and well-deserved. “This book gives Davidman her life back. . . . Ms. Santamaria succeeds in de-mythologizing Davidman’s story.” —The Wall Street Journal “Compelling . . . clear, unsentimental.” — The New York Times Book Review
