Angel of Song

Master of Illusion Book Three

By: Anne Rouen

From the award-winning historical fiction author, Anne Rouen, comes the third installment to the Master of Illusion series. Angel of Song is a historical romance set in World War I on the Western Front. Born into the halcyon era of the Belle Époque, Parisian debutante Angelique de Villefontaine has been shielded all her young life by her influential guardian, the marquis du Bois, and his life-long companion, Madame Dupont. Despite the protection of her mentors, the allure of her ethereal beauty and surpassing talent cannot be restrained, and Angelique's life becomes a frenetic whirl of performance and social engagement, peppered with the seduction of fame and adulation. Though she has a voice of an angel, she is not without her demons. Unbeknownst to Angelique, her guardian is frantically attempting to bring the antiquated French Military into the twentieth century. Acutely aware of growing political tensions and paranoia sweeping Europe, the marquis' efforts are rebuffed. Despairing, he sends his protégé on a mission hitherto unthinkable. Oblivious to this seething political clime, Angelique embarks on the most important tour of her budding career, only to be turned back by a murder that plunges the world into darkness. Rendered hysterical by the horrors of war, Angelique rallies to help the wounded. Amidst rumours of an angel whose voice can inspire, soothe and heal, an eminent general makes an astonishing request. And the marquis must use all his ingenuity to protect his ward from enemies, both within their own military and without. In the particular hell of the trenches, soldiers sacrifice their lives to hold their posts against insurmountable odds; and as the French search for inspiration to counter the nihilistic policy of an implacable enemy, they find they already have a secret weapon—their own Angel of Song.

Singing The Psyche--Uniting Thought and Feeling Through the Voice

Voice Movement Therapy in Practice

By: Anne M. Brownell,Deirdre A. Brownell,Gina Holloway Mulder

This book is about the use of vocal sound, melody, and rhythm to increase one’s sense of self and presence with others, and how to facilitate this process. We discover how the ten vocal principles and four non-vocal principles of Voice Movement Therapy work together, uniting in a single purpose: to facilitate a more embodied, flexible, durable, and versatile voice. Singing the Psyche: Uniting Thought and Feeling Through the Voice provides a basic understanding of Voice Movement Therapy and how it uses both spontaneous vocalization and the creation and performance of song, integrated with active body movement, to increase expressive and communicative skills. First-hand practitioner experiences offer a compelling and fascinating account of how our voices hold a core intelligence that can transform our lives from constriction to freedom and from trauma to compassionate understanding. Perfect for anyone dedicated to unlocking the therapeutic power of the voice, this book is an invaluable tool for therapists, counselors, singing teachers, speech and drama instructors, and speech-language pathologists. It's also a must-have for academic institutions offering creative arts therapies courses, music and drama conservatories, and parents and organizations supporting children with special needs and hidden disabilities. What people say - “As an artist and writer, I and my friends in many different disciplines are well acquainted with creative blocks both in art and in life. When a friend suggested that I may be interested in reviewing a book on Voice Movement Therapy, I said, “Well, OK,” expecting to read an informative, but unexciting tome. To my delight, this book clearly explains the basic principles of VMT in the first chapter, then presents five chapters of case studies by VMT practitioners who work with human situations worldwide read like stories. It is a great read and so interesting that I called a musician friend and read one of the stories aloud!” — Jo Walters, Visual Artist and Writer MA, MFA, University of California, Berkeley “This comprehensive volume will enhance therapists', educators’, caregivers’, and parents’ understanding of the intricacies of using our voices for expression and communication. Through practical guidelines woven together with current interdisciplinary practices, theory and research, Anne Brownell and colleagues creatively decode the language of vocal expression.” —Susan Loman, MA, NCC, KMP Profiler, former Director Dance Movement Therapy Program Dept. of Applied Psychology, Antioch New England Graduate School

How to Turn Poems, Lyrics, & Folklore into Salable Children's Books

Using Humor or Proverbs

By: Anne Hart

Do you want to adapt your poem to a storybook that tells a story in words, and pictures-or only amplify the images that you create with words? Would you rather turn your poem into a picture book that tells a story with pictures? Will words take second place to illustrations? Decide first whether you will write a story book or a picture book. Then use the images in your poem to clarify your writing. You won't be able to read a picture book into a tape recorder or turn it into an audio book or radio play. You will be able to narrate a word book for audio playing. Start with an inspirational poem, proverb, or song lyrics. Ask children what makes them laugh. You can make something out of nothing. You can make a story out of anything intangible, such as an idea with a plan still in your mind. Capture your children's dreams, proverbs, song lyrics, and the surprise elements that make them laugh. Record imagination, "what-if" talk, and personal history. A folktale or story is something that could come from any place in the past, from science, or from nothing that you can put your hands on. What children want in a book, poem, or folklore is a cave where they can go to be themselves. When suspending belief, children still want to be themselves as they navigate fantasy. The story book becomes a den or tree house where children can go inside, shut the door, and play. Introduce children to poetry by showing how you transform your poem into a children's book by expanding and emphasizing significant events in the life story of one child. Poems, memorable experiences, significant life events or turning points are all ways to make something out of nothing tangible. You begin re-working a concept, framework, or vision. Here's how to write, publish, and promote salable material from concept to framework to poem to children's book-step-by-step.

The Performance of 16th-Century Music

Learning from the Theorists

By: Anne Smith

Most modern performers, trained on the performance practices of the Classical and Romantic periods, come to the music of the Renaissance with well-honed but anachronistic ideas. Fundamental differences between 16th-century repertoire and that of later epochs thus tend to be overlooked-yet it is just these differences which can make a performance truly stunning. The Performance of 16th-Century Music will enable the performer to better understand this music and advance their technical and expressive abilities. Early music specialist Anne Smith outlines several major areas of technical knowledge and skill needed to perform the music of this period. She takes readers through the significance of part-book notation; solmization; rhythmic flexibility; and elements of structure in relation to rhetoric of the time; while familiarizing them with contemporary criteria and standards of excellence for performance. Through The Performance of 16th-Century Music, today's musicians will gain fundamental insight into how 16th-century polyphony functions, and the tools necessary to perform this repertoire to its fullest, most glorious potential.

A Chant

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

A Chant

By: Adelaide Anne Procter

Chant" is a reflective poem written by Adelaide Anne Procter, an English poet and philanthropist of the 19th century. Born in 1825, Procter was known for her works that often addressed social issues and displayed a deep empathy for the less fortunate. In "Chant," Procter likely presents a meditative and contemplative piece, as the term "chant" suggests a rhythmic and melodic quality to the verses. The poem might encompass themes such as introspection, spirituality, or reflections on the human condition. Adelaide Anne Procter's poetry often carried a moral and humanitarian tone, reflecting her commitment to social causes. As the daughter of Bryan Procter, a notable poet of his time, she was immersed in literary circles and became a respected voice in her own right. To fully appreciate "Chant" and Procter's body of work, one may explore her broader collection of poems. Her writing, characterized by its emotional depth and social consciousness, contributes to the rich landscape of Victorian poetry.

Ina Lohr (1903–1983)

Transcending the Boundaries of Early Music

By: Anne Smith

Although almost forgotten today, Ina Lohr played a significant role in Basel's 20th-century musical world. In 1930, she became Paul Sacher's musical assistant, helping in the preparations for performances of the Basel Chamber Orchestra, of which he was the director. Just three years later, she was one of the courageous pioneers who under the direction of Paul Sacher founded the now internationally renowned Schola Cantorum Basiliensis. As Ina Lohr was instrumental in creating its program, her work indirectly had an enormous impact on the Early Music Movement. Through her biography, we learn to see Early Music within the complex cultural and religious matrix of her time, forcing ourselves to transcend our own boundaries to understand her life.

The Baby and the Bathwater

By: Anne Hill

The Baby and the Bathwater is a deeply personal chronicle of one woman's involvement in Reclaiming, the Earth-based spiritual tradition formed by Starhawk and others in 1980. Through a series of blog posts written over a four-year period, author Anne Hill re-visits the inspiring ideals that helped Reclaiming spread around the world, as well as the challenges that caused her and others to leave the tradition. The Baby and the Bathwater provides a vivid glimpse into the most popular nature religion of the 1980s and 90s, and examines whether the movement is capable of producing the social change it espouses. The book also includes blog comments written by Macha NightMare, Thorn Coyle, Deborah Oak, Cat Chapin-Bishop, and many others. This edited collection from the pages of the popular Blog o' Gnosis is sure to be of interest to readers of Anne's previous book with Starhawk, Circle Round: Raising Children in Goddess Traditions, as well as anyone who has been inspired by The Spiral Dance or Earth-based spirituality.

Tears of Rangi

Experiments Across Worlds

By: Anne Salmond

Six centuries ago Polynesian explorers, who inhabited a cosmos in which islands sailed across the sea and stars across the sky, arrived in Aotearoa New Zealand where they rapidly adapted to new plants, animals, landscapes and climatic conditions. Four centuries later, European explorers arrived with maps and clocks, grids and fences, and they too adapted to a new island home. In this remote, beautiful archipelago, settlers from Polynesia and Europe (and elsewhere) have clashed and forged alliances, they have fiercely debated what is real and what is common sense, what is good and what is right. In this, her most ambitious book to date, Dame Anne Salmond looks at New Zealand as a site of cosmo-diversity, a place where multiple worlds engage and collide. Beginning with a fine-grained inquiry into the early period of encounters between Maori and Europeans in New Zealand (1769–1840), Salmond then investigates such clashes and exchanges in key areas of contemporary life – waterways, land, the sea and people. We live in a world of gridded maps, Outlook calendars and balance sheets – making it seem that this is the nature of reality itself. But in New Zealand, concepts of whakapapa and hau, complex networks and reciprocal exchange, may point to new ways of understanding interactions between peoples, and between people and the natural world. Like our ancestors, Anne Salmond suggests, we too may have a chance to experiment across worlds.

Moving Beyond Symbol and Myth

Moving Beyond Symbol and Myth

Understanding the Kingship of God of the Hebrew Bible Through Metaphor

By: Anne Moore

For hundreds of years, scholars have debated the meaning of Jesus' central theological term, the 'kingdom of God'. Most of the argument has focused on its assumed eschatological connotations and Jesus' adherence or deviation from these ideas. Within the North American context, the debate is dominated by the work of Norman Perrin, whose classification of the kingdom of God as a myth-evoking symbol remains one of the fundamental assumptions of scholarship. According to Perrin, Jesus' understanding of the kingdom of God is founded upon the myth of God acting as king on behalf of Israel as described in the Hebrew Bible. Moving Beyond Symbol and Myth challenges Perrin's classification, and advocates the reclassification of the kingdom of God as metaphor. Drawing upon insights from the cognitive theory of metaphor, this study examines all the occurrences of the 'God is king' metaphor within the literary context of the Hebrew Bible. Based on this review, it is proposed that the 'God is king' metaphor functions as a true metaphor with a range of expressions and meanings. It is employed within a variety of texts and conveys images of God as the covenantal sovereign of Israel; God as the eternal suzerain of the world, and God as the king of the disadvantaged. The interaction of the semantic fields of divinity and human kingship evoke a range of metaphoric expressions that are utilized throughout the history of the Hebrew Bible in response to differing socio-historical contexts and within a range of rhetorical strategies. It is this diversity inherent in the 'God is king' metaphor that is the foundation for the diversified expressions of the kingdom of God associated with the historical Jesus and early Christianity.
