Erreur ! Signet non défini. 3 Foreword by Nicole Notat The value of a company cannot be summarized to its financial value presented from the perspective of tangible assets or accounting results. The words we use are very important. Now, concepts need to echo value creation, which of course doesn’t simply refer to financial value.

    The Quarryman’s Wife A novel By Mary E. DeMuth Mary E. DeMuth, Inc. P.O. Box 1503 Rockwall, TX 75087 Copyright 2011 All rights reserved. No part of this publication may be reproduced in any form without written permission from Mary E. DeMuth, Inc, P.O. Box 1503, Rockwall, TX 75087, www.marydemuth.com. Cover design by Mary DeMuth Cover photo by Mary E. DeMuth Author photo by Sophie M. DeMuth This novel is a work of fiction. Any people, places or events that may resemble reality are simply coincidental. The book is entirely from the imagination of the author, though based on historical data. ISBN-10: 0983436762 ISBN-13: 978-0-9834367-6-8 Unless otherwise noted, all Scripture quotations in this publication are taken from the King James Version (KJV). Author’s Note his book is written for my great grandmother, Mary Walker, who lived like TJesus, told her stories fearlessly, wrote poems for everyone, and loved her chil- dren even after devastating loss. Her pluck and candor fueled my desire to write this book as a testament to her life. This is the first novel I ever penned, so it’s dear to me. When I submitted it back in 2004, editors said they didn’t want Depression-era fiction. So I put this book on a shelf, always wanting to see it in print, never forgetting the story, hop- ing someday others would enjoy it. Now that it’s in print, I hope The Quarryman’s Wife touches your resolve, energizes you to love others more fiercely, and helps you to persevere through your own economic stress, grief, or changing family dynamics.

Chapter 5: Organizing Music §1 Evolution “Huh-ooohw,” hovers an unstable, low male voice, “huh-eeehw.” A sudden Mountain-Song-like movement lifts the melody to a high pitch: like a rubber band stretched and then released, the voice howls: “ee-oo.” It remains high, but the volume now wavers and decreases, into a nasal falsetto. “Ii- ih-i-i,” on the last bit of breath. Silence again, a loud sigh “whiiiy,” followed by high, barely audi- ble, “e-e-e” sounds. Low again: “whoo-oo-ee.” The melody now jumps back and forth between al- most painfully high and low registers, while simultaneously working the overtones through changes of the vowel. Silence, another sigh, followed by a glissando. The sixth phrase is relatively conven- tional – a few drawn-out high notes with only microtonal fluctuations, briefly interrupted by a sud- den dive into lower registers. Then the glockenspiel enters with a quiet tremolo. On Taoism 道极 (1985) begins with composer Tan Dun singing the germ cell of the composition. A bass clarinet and bass bassoon take turns developing the melodic line provided by the voice, render- ing the music almost monophonic: a single calligraphic-melodic line divided over the three solo in- struments employs a palette of tone-colors on a canvas of strings.1 The seven phrases of the open- ing, the seventh accompanied by the glockenspiel, also foreshadow the division of the thir- teen-minute composition into seven parts.
