The Emergence of a Musical Life

A Retrospective on Charles H. Webb

By: Charles H. Webb

If music be the food of love, play on." William Shakespeare might have written these glorious words in affirmation of the life of Charles H. Webb, who grew from a small boy with the surprising ability to play piano by ear to become dean of one of the most prestigious schools of music in the world, Indiana University (IU) Jacobs School of Music.In The Emergence of a Musical Life: A Retrospective on Charles H. Webb, the author chronicles his upbringing in Dallas, Texas, and the support he received from his parents, grandparents, early teachers, and the church, all of whom nurtured his extraordinary talent. As he grew, his opportunities to make music grew too, as did numerous pivotal relationships that opened the door to a career spent building an internationally recognized school of music.As dean at IU's school of music for nearly a quarter century, with the gracious support of his beloved wife, Kenda, Webb took the school from respected to revered. Along the way, his relationships with outstanding musicians such as Fred Waring, Sylvia McNair, and Leonard Bernstein as well as endlessly generous faculty members, alumni, and donors enriched his life and that of his family. Today, having come nearly full circle, Webb's continued association with music and the church remains a musical center of his life.

Writings of Charles S. Peirce: A Chronological Edition, Volume 1

1857-1866

By: Charles S. Peirce

Volume 8 of this landmark edition follows Peirce from May 1890 through July 1892 -- a period of turmoil as his career unraveled at the U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey. The loss of his principal source of income meant the beginning of permanent penury and a lifelong struggle to find gainful employment. His key achievement during these years is his celebrated Monist metaphysical project, which consists of five classic articles on evolutionary cosmology. Also included are reviews and essays from The Nation inches.

English Warfare, 1511-1642

By: Mark Charles Fissell

English Warfare 1511-1642 chronicles and analyses military operations from the reign of Henry VIII to the outbreak of the Civil War. The Tudor and Stuart periods laid the foundations of modern English military power. Henry VIII's expeditions, the Elizabethan contest with Catholic Europe, and the subsequent commitment of English troops to the Protestant cause by James I and Charles I, constituted a sustained military experience that shaped English armies for subsequent generations. Drawing largely from manuscript sources, English Warfare 1511-1642 includes coverage of: *the military adventures of Henry VIII in France, Scotland and Ireland *Elizabeth I's interventions on the continent after 1572, and how arms were perfected *conflict in Ireland *the production and use of artillery *the development of logistics *early Stuart military actions and the descent into civil war. English Warfare 1511-1642 demolishes the myth of an inexpert English military prior to the upheavals of the 1640s.

Writings of Charles S. Peirce: Volume 6, 1886–1890

A Chronological Edition

By: Charles S. Peirce

Volume 6 of this landmark edition contains 66 writings mainly from the unsettled period in Peirce's life just after he moved from New York to Milford, Pennsylvania, followed shortly afterward by the death of his mother. The writings in this volume reveal Peirce's powerful mind probing into diverse issues, looking for an underlying unity, but, perhaps, also looking for direction.

A Library of the World's Best Literature - Ancient and Modern - Vol.XL (Forty-Five Volumes); Songs, Hymns, Lyrics

By: Charles Dudley Warner

Popular American essayist, novelist, and journalist CHARLES DUDLEY WARNER (1829-1900) was renowned for the warmth and intimacy of his writing, which encompassed travelogue, biography and autobiography, fiction, and more, and influenced entire generations of his fellow writers. Here, the prolific writer turned editor for his final grand work, a splendid survey of global literature, classic and modern, and it's not too much to suggest that if his friend and colleague Mark Twain-who stole Warner's quip about how "everybody complains about the weather, but nobody does anything about it"-had assembled this set, it would still be hailed today as one of the great achievements of the book world. Volume 40 is a comprehensive selection of songs and hymns including works by: . Richard Lovelace . Nora Hopper . James Montgomery . Sarah Williams . Charles Godfrey Leland . Andrew Marvell . King Henry IV of France . Gerald Massey . Eliza Calvert Hall . Sir Walter Raleigh . and many others
