D the Courting Dress Prologue Mandy Stevens stepped out of her steam-filled bathroom wrapped in a towel and surveyed the piles of clothing and trinkets she had pulled out of Grandma Flo’s “membry” chest over the last three hours. Be careful, Man- dy. The warning played over and over again in her mind. Be careful. Careful. “Why? What’s in there?” She let out an exasperated sigh and nudged a pile aside with her bare toe. If only Grandma Flo could answer the question. For a second, Mandy was tempted to dump everything back into the chest and worry about it tomorrow, but as she reached for a stack of clothing, she was drawn to a blue dress peeking out from the bottom of the stack on the bed. She tugged it out and held it up to the light. It was pretty but not beau- tiful; feminine but not frilly. A smile flitted across her face as she imagined her grandmother putting it on for a special occasion. It obviously held some precious memories or Grams wouldn’t have saved it for decades.

  • Tailor-Made: Does This Song Look Good on Me? the Voices That Inspired Vocal Music History
    ABSTRACT Title of Dissertation: TAILOR-MADE: DOES THIS SONG LOOK GOOD ON ME? THE VOICES THAT INSPIRED VOCAL MUSIC HISTORY Theresa Rose Bickham, Doctor of Musical Arts in Vocal Performance, 2019 Dissertation directed by: Professor Carmen Balthrop, School of Music The history of tailor-made repertoire is celebrated, and, in many cases, the composer and the works live on in perpetuity while the performing artist is remembered only in historical documents. Timbres, agilities, ranges, and personalities of singers have long been a source of inspiration for composers. Even Mozart famously remarked that he wrote arias to fit singers like a well-tailored suit. This dissertation studies the vocal and dramatic profiles of ten sopranos and discovers how their respective talents compelled famed composers to create music that accommodated each singer’s unique abilities. The resulting repertoire advanced the standard of vocal music and encouraged new developments in the genres and styles of compositions for the voice. This is a performance dissertation and each singer is depicted through the presentation of repertoire originally created for and by them. The recital series consisted of one lecture recital and two full recitals performed at the University of Maryland, College Park. I was joined in the performance of these recitals by pianist Andrew Jonathan Welch, clarinetist Melissa Morales, and composer/pianist Dr. Elaine Ross. The series was presented chronologically, and the first recital included works of the Baroque and Classical music eras written for Marie Le Rochois, Faustina Bordoni, Catarina Cavalieri, and Adriana Ferrarese del Bene. The second recital advanced into the nineteenth-century with repertoire composed for Anna Milder-Hauptmann, Giulia Grisi, and Mary Garden.

  • The Turn of the Screw
    THE TURN OF THE SCREW BY HENRY JAMES 7^WYS`f7Taa]e COPYRIGHT INFORMATION Book: The Turn of the Screw Author: Henry James, 1843–1916 First published: 1898 The original book is in the public domain in the United States and in most, if not all, other countries as well. Readers outside the United States should check their own countries’ copyright laws to be certain they can legally download this ebook. The Online Books Page has an FAQ which gives a summary of copyright durations for many other countries, as well as links to more official sources. This PDF ebook was created by José Menéndez. The Turn of the Screw THE story had held us, round the fire, sufficiently breathless, but except the obvious remark that it was gruesome, as, on Christmas Eve in an old house, a strange tale should essentially be, I remember no comment uttered till somebody happened to say that it was the only case he had met in which such a visitation had fallen on a child. The case, I may mention, was that of an apparition in just such an old house as had gathered us for the occasion—an appearance, of a dreadful kind, to a little boy sleeping in the room with his mother and waking her up in the terror of it; waking her not to dissipate his dread and soothe him to sleep again, but to encounter also, herself, before she had succeeded in doing so, the same sight that had shaken him. It was this observation that drew from Douglas—not immediately, but later in the evening—a reply that had the interesting consequence to which I call attention.

  • Trumpet & Brass Recordings
    Recording Recommendations I believe each of these recordings will interest any musician, young or old, and especially trumpet players. While I am a trumpet player, I tend not to listen to all that much exclusively trumpet music, so the music shown below is fairly wide-ranging in its scope. Many of them are recordings at which one might not otherwise not look twice (I never even heard of most of these performers until I was long out of high school). And many of these may not feature the kind of music you might think you would enjoy. Given a chance, though, I think they might grow on you. I think it is a lot of fun discovering a new artist or a new sort of music. Trumpet & Brass Recordings Wynton Marsalis Carnaval This is the quintessential recording of the standard cornet/trumpet solo repertoire, including Carnival of Venice, Napoli, The Debutante, etc. This is an absolute must-have recording for any trumpet player. Wynton Marsalis Baroque Music for Trumpets Again, this is a MUST-HAVE. The soloist’s playing is sublime. It includes the Vivaldi Concerto (for Two Trumpets), the Michael Haydn Concerto and a beautiful arrangement of the Pachelbel Kanon. All the trumpet parts are performed by Wynton Marsalis – the miracle of modern recording technology on full display. Malcolm McNab Exquisite The playing on this recording truly is exquisite. Beyond that, it is super-human. McNab, the premiere studio player in Los Angeles, plays a transcription of Tchaikovsky’s Violin Concerto that is simply not to be believed. His technical mastery of the instrument – especially in the extreme ranges – is just phenomenal.

This model was expanded upon by musicians in England and Germany during the late-1970s who developed the popular music style called Industrial as a fusion of experimental popular music sounds, performance art theatricality, and avant-garde composition.
