    How Sonata Forms (eBook, ePUB)
    Traditional approaches to musical form have always adopted a top-down perspective whereby a work's form organizes and unifies the individual parts of the work through an overarching logic. How Sonata Forms turns this view on its head, proposing instead that it was the parts that conditioned and enabled the whole. Relying on a corpus of over a thousand works, author Yoel Greenberg illustrates how the elements of sonata form arose independently of one another, with an overarching idea of form only emerging at the tail end of its formative period during the eighteenth century. Appreciation of the bottom-up nature of sonata form's evolution reveals it not as a stable package of features that all serve a common aesthetic or formal goal, but rather as an unstable collection of disparate and sometimes even contradictory common practices. The resolution of these contradictions presents a challenge to composers, rendering form a creative catalyst in itself, rather than as a compositional convenience. More generally, the deeply diachronic perspective of How Sonata Forms offers an alternative to the traditional synchronic outlook that pervades music theory in general and the study of form in particular. Rather than focus on definitions and taxonomies, How Sonata Forms proposes a focus on the motion of the system of form as a whole, suggesting that it is often more productive to appreciate the dynamics of a system than it is to rigorously define its parts.

    Identity: The Demand for Dignity and the Politics of Resentment , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 395min
    The New York Times best-selling author of The Origins of Political Order offers a provocative examination of modern identity politics: its origins, its effects, and what it means for domestic and international affairs of state In 2014, Francis Fukuyama wrote that American institutions were in decay, as the state was progressively captured by powerful interest groups. Two years later, his predictions were borne out by the rise to power of a series of political outsiders whose economic nationalism and authoritarian tendencies threatened to destabilize the entire international order. These populist nationalists seek direct charismatic connection to “the people”, who are usually defined in narrow identity terms that offer an irresistible call to an in-group and exclude large parts of the population as a whole. Demand for recognition of one’s identity is a master concept that unifies much of what is going on in world politics today. The universal recognition on which liberal democracy is based has been increasingly challenged by narrower forms of recognition based on nation, religion, sect, race, ethnicity, or gender, which have resulted in anti-immigrant populism, the upsurge of politicized Islam, the fractious “identity liberalism” of college campuses, and the emergence of white nationalism. Populist nationalism, said to be rooted in economic motivation, actually springs from the demand for recognition and therefore cannot simply be satisfied by economic means. The demand for identity cannot be transcended; we must begin to shape identity in a way that supports rather than undermines democracy. Identity is an urgent and necessary book - a sharp warning that unless we forge a universal understanding of human dignity, we will doom ourselves to continuing conflict. PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the ungekürzt.

    The Illustrated Step-By-Step Guide to Yoga for Stress Relief , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 51min
    The unrelenting ticking of the clock just minutes before a tight deadline. The bumper-to-bumper traffic that prevents us from reaching home after a long day of work. The sound of a crying infant in the early morning that makes us wonder if parenthood is really all it’s cracked up to be.What unifies each of these situations is stress. Stress is a term used to describe a state of mental or emotional strain or tension resulting from adverse or very demanding circumstances. Stress is something that all people experience, with varying levels of stress being placed on our minds and bodies at any given time. The factors that cause stress are numerous: work, diet, relationships, body image, examinations, deadlines, assignments, peer pressure, lack of sleep, family, depression, breakups, etc. Whatever the cause, stress is an inevitable component of daily life. The trick to coping with stress is learning how to manage, prevent, and reduce it when necessary.People often search for ways to reduce stress, but one often overlooked method of dealing with stress is yoga. Yoga, a Sanskrit word, is a physical, mental, and spiritual discipline that originated from ancient India. A philosophy based on Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras, yoga aims for the attainment of spiritual insight and mental peace. Literally, the word yoga means “to join.” In one sense, this means unifying the mind and body so that both are in perfect harmony. As the philosophy goes, if the body is in a healthy state, then the mind can be in a healthy state. Similarly, a healthy mind can allow for a healthier body.Given its goals and practice, it’s no surprise that yoga has become such a popular practice for reducing stress. It accomplishes this through breathing, mild to moderate exercise, and heightened connectedness to the self through conscious awareness and meditative techniques.The Step-By-Step Guide to Yoga for Stress Relief can help people of all ages and backgrounds manage and r ungekürzt.

    Mood Swings
    Brian Russell Cook is a mid-western multi-instrumentalist and songwriter who works mostly from a foundation that is based in American Roots Music. Roots music can mean many different things, and Brian enjoys the freedom of being able to move through the many styles that fall under the umbrella that is the roots. Brian's 2010 debut album "Mood Swings" is appropriately titled. It touches on elements of the blues, country, gospel, soul, surf guitar, and rock and roll while maintaining a unique identity that unifies the many moods on the album. Brian spent the early part of his career focusing on playing blues. Growing up in northern Indiana, Chicago blues was a major influence on his musical development. His early career consisted of over ten years playing the bass on the blues circuit. During this time Brian was honored to back up such blues heavyweights as Pinetop Perkins, Hubert Sumlin, Willie "Big Eyes" Smith, Lazy Lester, Sam Lay, Junior Watson, RJ Mischo, and the list goes on and on. In more recent years, Brian has been a member of the original acoustic roots music group Goldmine Pickers. The Goldmine Pickers draw on influences in bluegrass, folk, Irish music, and old-time while maintaining an approach that stays connected to modern music. Brian's current musical pursuits are a culmination of his previous experiences combined with his own vision and creative energy. He is now not only playing the bass, but also writing songs and playing various other instruments. His first album showcases the fact that he is a multi-dimensional musician who can write, arrange, and produce an eclectic mix of songs.

    Lost Safari Drummers
    THE LOST SAFARI DRUMMERS The word SAFARI was coined by the explorer Sir Richard Burton from the Arabic word meaning "to journey" WE ARE ON A JOURNEY INTO THE HEART OF RHYTHM INTO THE SPIRIT OF THE DRUM INTO THE CELEBRATION THAT UNIFIES... INTO THE HEARTBEAT OF LIFE!! The Lost Safari Drummers are inspired by the rhythms of West Africa: rhythms from Nigeria, Gambia, Guinea, Ghana, Senegal, Mali, Sierra Leone, and rhythms that were carried to and evolved in Trinidad, Cuba, Haiti, and Brazil. THE VOICES Jun Jun: a two-headed bass drum played with a mallet. Djembe: a goblet shaped drum with a bright sound from a goat skin head. The lead drum. Ashiko: a deeper shaped conical drum with deer skin or cow hide. The freedom drum. Shekeres (rattles), Agogo and Gankogui (double toned bells), Cow bells and Claves round out the sound. SPEAK Each drum has it's own voice in the musical arrangement and it is this interplay that creates the polyrhythmic groove. ? D R U M T A L K ? Trained initially under the tutelage of Mr. Gordy Ryan, a 20 year veteran of Babatundi Olatumji's world renowned Drums of Passion, the Lost Safari Drummers emerged innocently enough from the jungle of rhythm and drumming workshops and performed for the first time on Earth Day 1990. In the ensuing years, training from additional masters of the art has greatly expanded the repertoire. The group is made up of community members from many walks of life, with the common goal of promoting unity through rhythm, and keeping the traditions of African Drumming alive. It is a true ensemble in the sense that playing these African polyrhythms requires the collective interaction of the entire group. The ensemble performs at celebratory events and festivals including annually at the SFCC Spring Arts Festival. WE ARE GRATEFUL TO HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO KEEP THE SPIRIT OF THE DRUM "ALIVE"
