Everyone sang or played an instrument. Mama had a soft voice, sweet and pure. Daddy had a deep voice that could go as low as a tuba. Sister played the piano, her fingers bouncing across the keys. Grandma Bing played the flute, and when she blew the soft notes, people closed their eyes and let the music drift over them. Grandpa Bing played the violin so well, Jennifer sometimes cried because the music was too beautiful. “Jennifer Bing, Why Won’t You Sing?” Reprinted by permission of LADYBUG magazine, March 1997, Vol. 7, Na 7 copyright 0 1997 by Kimberly Thomas, illustrations by Jada Rowland. Reading Student Master 2b I The Bings were talented, but Jennifer didn’t seem to be. When she tried to sing, her high notes squeaked and her low notes squawked. She had never learned to play an instrument, either. “Jennifer Bing, why won’t you sing?“ Mama asked when the family got together to practice. Jennifer shook her head. ‘Who ever heard of a Bing that won’t sing?” Grandpa asked. “All Bings MUST sing!” Wow, now,” Daddy said to Grandpa. “Not all Bings have to sing.” Then he added, “But it would be nice.” Reading Student Master 2c I Whenever the Bing family practiced, Jennifer would sneak out the back door. She liked to go out in the yard and listen through the window. She shut her eyes and enjoyed the music-easily picking ” ...... .., .- -- . - i:*-*,.--_ out Grandpa’s violin, 4.. ._-2.. - -._ . --’-->>-..,”.. Y .! Grandma’s flute, ! Mama’s high voice, Daddy’s deep voice, and Sister’s piano. Then she would wave her arms and kick her legs. She leaped and skipped. She swooped and swirled. She glided. She flew. Jennifer loved to move! She loved to jump! She could do a happy dance or a sad dance. The music told her how. Reading Student Master 2d One evening the Bing family gathered together to practice, but Jennifer didn’t go outside. Mama and Daddy raised their voices in song as Sister’s fingers pounded the piano keys. Grandpa Bing played on his violin. Grandma Bing blew on her flute. And suddenly Jennifer flew across the floor. She skipped! She leaped! She shuffled and spun! And she didn’t stop until the music stopped. Then she looked at the startled faces around her. ((JenniferBing!” Mama said. “Who taught you to dance?” Student Master Be 0 “Nobody taught me, Mama,” Jennifer said. “The music tells me how.” Grandpa patted her on the head. “Such a talented Bing,” he said. “Such a graceful Bing,” Grandma said. “Such a musical Bing,” Daddy said. “Such a singing Bing!” Sister said. And Jennifer Bing was very happy, because she could sing after all. Not with her voice. Not with a musical instrument. No! She sang with her whole body, and she liked her own singing best of all. ~~ ~~ Reading 0 Student Master 3a Name How Do I Read?

Non è la prima volta che Arvo Pärt viene ispirato a comporre su testi di Saint Silouan, nel 1991 ha infatti pubblicato i "Silouans Songs" per orchestra, registrati da ECM con il Te Deum, il Magnificat e la Berliner Mass. Il compositore ha interiorizzato profondamente le parole,che, nella lingua slava ecclesiastica, determinano la sostanza e la struttura del brano. Il nome di Adamo è pensato come un termine collettivo, che comprende l'intero genere umano, ma anche ciascuna persona individualmente, la previsione di una tragedia umana come una colpa personale. La prima esecuzione di questo lavoro ebbe luogo nel giugno 2010 a Istanbul proprio sotto la direzione di Tõnu Kaljuste e con l'Estonian Chamber Choir, cioè gli interpreti ideali di cui si avvale questo CD, che comprende anche altri importanti lavori della produzione sacra di Pärt.

Summary The narrator, a teacher in Harlem, has escaped the ghetto, creating a stable and secure life for himself despite the destructive pressures that he sees destroying so many young blacks. He sees African American adolescents discovering the limits placed on them by a racist society at the very moment when they are discovering their abilities. He tells the story of his relationship with his younger brother, Sonny. That relationship has moved through phases of separation and return. After their parents’ deaths, he tried and failed to be a father to Sonny. For a while, he believed that Sonny had succumbed to the destructive influences of Harlem life. Finally, however, they achieved a reconciliation in which the narrator came to understand the value and the importance of Sonny’s need to be a jazz pianist. The story opens with a crisis in their relationship. The narrator reads in the newspaper that Sonny was taken into custody in a drug raid. He learns that Sonny is addicted to heroin and that he will be sent to a treatment facility to be “cured.” Unable to believe that his gentle and quiet brother could have so abused himself, the narrator cannot reopen communication with Sonny until a second crisis occurs, the death of his daughter from polio.

    Dictionnaire Black Déjà paru dans la collection Dico Compil' Dictionnaire du Fantastique, Alain Pozzuoli, Jean-Pierre Krémer Dictionnaire Gay, Lionel Povert @ Jacques Grancher, Éditeur, 1995, Paris ISBN : 2733904523 Christiane/ Passevant Larry Portis Dictionnaire Black Éditeur Michel Grancher Directeur de collection Alain Pozzuoli A C Q U E S &Nffl 98, rue de Vaugirard 75006 Paris À Bruce, Jamie, Mydia, Randa, Rosalie, Nora et à tous ceux qui luttent pour un rapprochement des peuples et un monde sans discrimination. PRÉFACE "Afrovisions" "Je suis invisible, tu comprends, simplement parce que les gens ne veulent pas me voir." Ralph Waldo Ellison, L'Homme invisible (1952). Avec son unique roman traduit mondialement après- guerre, Ellison, américain et noir natif d'Oklahoma, accédait à la visibilité totale et globale, bombardé porte-parole de la commu- nauté noire aux côtés de son ami, l'activiste Richard Wright. Voici le dictionnaire des idées et des personnalités noires relevant de la géographie triangulaire du TRAFIC. Bibliothèque de la mémoire noire, mais aussi photothèque des classiques contempo- rains qui font partie à juste titre de l'humanisme tout simplement, universalisme dans lequel l'Afrique et ses diasporisations figu- raient jusqu'ici le tam-tam, le tonneau vide. Autant aller droit au cœur du problème : la nécessité d'entretenir et de développer une mémoire afrocentriste en cette fin de siècle. Elle ne vaut une note de musique ou un cliché photo que si elle brise l'infini processus de dissolution inauguré par le TRAFIC en 1492. En ce sens, le verbe et l'image du LIVRE deviennent la TERRE commune d'un peuple arraché à sa mère, quelquefois honteux de sa famille ou - actuellement - génocidaire (Rwanda).
