    Ballet for Martha: Making Appalachian Spring , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 45min
    In 1944 the modern American ballet Appalachian Spring premiered at the Library of Congress in Washington, D.C. The collaborators behind the performance anxiously awaited the critical response to their artistic achievement: Would the world understand what they had done? In Ballet for Martha, the journey to this stage and the success shared among choreographer Martha Graham, composer Aaron Copland, and artist Isamu Noguchi is expressively captured by acclaimed children’s book authors Jan Greenberg and Sandra Jordan. Together they tell the exceptional story of the collaborative efforts behind the creation of Appalachian Spring. Martha Graham, famous American dancer and pioneering choreographer, ignited the process with her innovative dance routines and desire to create a ballet that would represent America. With Martha’s spirit and choreography in mind, Pulitzer Prize-winning composer Aaron Copland built upon the melodies of an old Shaker hymn to create the original score. He titled it simply "Ballet for Martha". Upon Martha’s request, artist Isamu Noguchi created the stage design for the ballet, using a simple and angular style that reflected the movements of Martha’s choreography. This story, first chronicled in the award-winning book, is now brought to life in an original audiobook production by Brilliance Audio. Acclaimed actress Sarah Jessica Parker captures the voices and emotions of Martha Graham, Aaron Copland, and Isamu Noguchi as they work together to produce the dance, score, and set of this beloved American ballet. Accompanying the narration is a full performance by the Seattle Symphony of the very score which fueled and inspired the ballet. Listeners will be delighted by the layered collaborations brought together in this audio production. From the three trail-blazing artists who labored to capture America through lyrical movement, lilting melody, and avant-garde design, to the literary, vocal, and orchestral tale ungekürzt.

    Letters of Gratitude to American Heroes of Social Justice: Where Would We Be Without Them? , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 484min
    This well-researched book, which is volume I of a multi-volume set, represents everything our current Trump administration does not. It focuses on the heroes of our past who labored for monumental reform and urged our nation to keep the American promise that "all men are created equal", thus creating a more just and egalitarian society than the one they were born into. Written in an innovative writing style of penning letters of gratitude to these heroes of our past, coupled with an introductory biography, thanking them for so much that we have today, much of which we often take for granted.Letters of Gratitude to American Heroes of Social Justice: Where Would Be Without Them? helps us know the lives and achievements of outstanding leaders of social justice and helps us look at our lives in an entirely new way, seeing how we cannot disconnect ourselves from past reformers, as the author clearly demonstrates to us how their efforts endure in our lives today. These were champions of unity and not division, and their memory can inspire us in this age of Trumpism and reactionary divisiveness. Mr. Buffer also helps to connect our current challenges with the struggles and victories of the past and helps to diffuse the lies told by the far-right wing about our nation's history and who we are as a people.With his contemporary letters, Mr. Buffer imbues and inspires a sense of gratitude in the listener as well as a sense of inspiration to pay these gifts forward and become active in efforts to protect them in this time when there is a palpable push back on the great reform movements of past 240 years. In this volume, we learn about those who passionately fought for the American ideal and from whom we are all fortunate beneficiaries. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Stacey Krejci.

    The Life Story of Lester Sumrall , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 462min
    Born to Betty and George Sumrall of New Orleans on February 15, 1913, Lester Frank Sumrall's cold-hearted brawler father considered him an "accident", telling him bluntly, "You weren't supposed to be here." Reared in the Deep South he showed early in life the resourcefulness and leadership attributes that comprised his remarkable 83-year life and 65-year ministry of the Gospel of Christ. At 16, he contracted tuberculosis in both lungs, and for six months lay in bed, daily waxing worse, until one somber day in the fall of 1930 the doctor informed his parents he would die within hours. That night, Lester saw a vision of an empty, open casket just his size waiting for him on one side of his bed and "the biggest Bible in the world" that stretched from the ceiling to the floor on the other. A voice warned, “You must choose.” He responded, “God, if the only way for me to live is to preach - I’ll preach.” When he awoke the next morning he was perfectly well! Three weeks later, Lester left his parents' home in Panama City, Florida, "with no training, no formal preparation, and no guidance from an older preacher", to begin the preaching ministry that would take him to more than 110 countries and lead him to write more than 130 books and study guides. For sheer entertainment, he was unrivaled, but his spiritual depth was manifest in the myriad miracles and supernatural works God operated through this faith-filled and faithful servant of God. This autobiographical look at his extraordinary life and ministry is by turns funny, poignant, and inspiring, chronicling his hilarious beginnings as a teenage pulpiteer to his final work as director of a massive global food outreach to starving children. Dr. Lester Sumrall went home to be with the Lord on April 28, 1996, having labored tirelessly to the last toward his goal of reaching a million people for Christ and leaving behind a legacy and ministry that continues to reach forward with the gosp ungekürzt.

    Halicarnassus: The History and Legacy of the Ancient Greek City and Home to One of the Seven Wonders of the World , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 64min
    In 353 BCE, when King Mausolus of Halicarnassus passed away, his sister and queen Artemisia was inconsolable, but she found a way to honor him through finishing a project that they had started together during his life: the construction of a mausoleum that was so marvelous it would later be considered one of the Seven Wonders of the World. She sent messengers across the ancient world to persuade the best sculptors and architects to come to southeast Anatolia to work on the king's memorial, employing only the finest craftsmen and sparing no expense in making the final resting place of Mausolus the finest tomb the world had ever seen. They labored for years, creating marvelous statues of the king's dynasty. This great monumental tomb was completed in the middle of the fourth century BCE so that the name of Mausolus would be famous forever, as indeed it has been ever since. Like one of the other wonders, the Temple of Artemis, the Mausoleum at Halicarnassus was huge for its type of building, being about 150 feet tall and possessing 36 columns of marble on its four sides, nine to a side. Also like the Temple of Artemis, the site of the Mausoleum includes ruins that have been excavated in modern times. Using this, an accurate scale replica has been successfully constructed in Istanbul, Turkey, and pieces of the beautiful sculpture on the Mausoleum have been retrieved. Therefore, it is one of the few wonders that survived in some form and have directly inspired modern artists and architects. On top of it all, this is the only known major architectural Hellenistic work devoted to a secular theme (the burial of two mortals) rather than religious art dedicated to the Greek pantheon. The themes of the carvings even included many mythical enemies of the Greeks, such as the Amazons and centaurs, and the architecture was a marvel of engineering that was copied by neo-Classical buildings. The ultimate fate of the Mausoleum itself is unknown, though it was ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Scott Clem.

    Mated on the Speedboat: The Billionaire Wolf Paradise, Part 2 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 58min
    An Alpha Billionaire with a Werewolf Secret Warning: This audiobook has several moments that are sizzlin' hot, so it's highly recommended that you dress in appropriate clothing and crack a window before listening! This book is part two of the the Billionaire Wolf Paradise series, so make sure you start with part one so you don't miss any of the excitement. Lee's hands gripped her hips, and she heard a low growl starting in his throat. That growl was becoming familiar, and she knew the wolf inside him wanted to get loose. She shook her head at him and flicked one more lick across his neck. He made a gorgeous wolf, but it was not his fur she was interested in right at that moment. "Not now," she purred. "I need you to stay human for me." She gasped as Lee increased the pressure on her hips and pulled her down hard on his lap, tilting his pelvis up to meet hers. She felt his hardness nudging into her hot, wet core and wriggled her hips against it, luxuriating in the friction the movement caused. "For how long?" he asked through teeth gritted with desire and concentration. Jane rocked her hips against him again and kissed him, sinking her teeth lightly into his bottom lip. "Keep the wolf inside you long enough that I can have you inside me." Lee groaned and tilted his mouth to capture hers again, kissing her deeply as Jane reached down to release the button of his pants and ease the zipper down. She felt him lift his hips so that she could slide his pants down over his thighs. He shook his legs until the pants fell to his ankles then kicked them aside. "We're out in the middle of the water," Jane said through slightly labored breath. Lee nodded, tucking his hands under her skirt so that he pushed it further up her thighs with his arms. "I know. In my private lagoon. Nobody can see us here. Nobody can hear us." ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Rebecca Wolfe.

    Wake Up Awesome (lp)
    Das Trio besteht aus dem norwegischen Noisemaster und Mitglied von Jazzkammer Lasse Marhaug, dem Cellisten Okkyung Lee and C. Spencer Yeh, der als Burning Star Core kein Unbekannter in der freien Musik ist.Das Trio besteht aus dem norwegischen Noisemaster und Mitglied von Jazzkammer Lasse Marhaug, dem Cellisten Okkyung Lee and C. Spencer Yeh, der als Burning Star Core kein Unbekannter in der freien Musik ist. Wake Up Awesome, by C. Spencer Yeh (Burning Star Core), Okkyung Lee, and Lasse Marhaug (Jazzkamer), is the second chapter of Software Studio Series - a new venture in the Software Recording Co.'s expanding catalog that invites artists in the field of electronic music to create collaborative works of quality and vision. Inspired by the historical intersections of live performance and studio post-production, Wake Up Awesome is a modern kind of fusion in technique as well as genre. At its core are three artists highly experienced with both instant and labored composition. Together, they found the studio generated improvisations were iteratively developed by each on their own. Passages of real-time improvisation duck and swerve into electro-concrete tangles of samples, edits and juxtaposition all you'd want out of a world of mechanical possibility. If it sounds intentional on the record, it was. If Yeh and Marhaug's more electronic affinities in their respective practices place them as the producers, then Lee's cello often leads the drive as a sort of soloist. The resulting conversation is genuinely both serious and iconoclastic. All three artists have a history of dialogue, but this is the first time they've hung out for the record -- we're very happy that they did. Wake Up Awesome is available via the Software in limited vinyl edition as well as CD and digital formats. TRACKS: 1. Wake Up Awesome 2. Hairslide 3. The Mermen of Poetry 4. Ophelia Gimme Shelter 5. The Mermaids of Extended Technique 6. Magic Seagull Lamp 7. Mission: Lazy 8. Mission: Nothing 9. Throw Down the Fishcake 10. Neutrons Whatever 11. Serious Cat's Milk 12.

    Red Lights
    NEXT LIVE PERFORMANCE - CHECK OUT MYSPACE.COM/KINGORBA FOR UPDATES '...King Orba's music is really unique, interesting, special...but not only this...the whole release is simply, totally groovy!!' -Lord Litter '...The King is everywhere at once, with his other gigs keeping him very busy, but his music is the Thing, making it very difficult to describe. This is almost Classic Pop Rock verging on Pop Opera. We Like it That Much! We'd Love More From King Orba...' -The Fevered Brain of RadioMike '...there's so much out there to write and sing about. This may explain his prolific songwriting, but does nothing to explain his proficiency in relating an experience in such rich visual language. There are few musicians whose message comes across clearly without labored study. Every song of King Orba's that I've listened to receives this hallmark.' -Excerpt from PUSH Magazine 02-03 RED LIGHTS is the new album from Austin based singer/songwriter King Orba, follow-up to the musicians 2003 release titled, HALF MAST. It contains twelve tracks, an interesting blend of tunes, including an overture and is adorn by cool artwork. It's quite the achievement in the frontiers of independent music. The entire experience seems to wind as an effortless stream through new territories, new horizons in what some consider today, the true indie music scene. Especially in the Rock genre. Or shall we say Contemporary Rock or Rock Americana? We'll let you be the judge. You can hear his sounds on CD Baby. -Sean Lennox VIBE News 02-04.

    The People Vs Fritz Bauer
    During the late 1950s, repatriated German-Jewish state prosecutor Fritz Bauer (Burghart Klaubner) labored ceaselessly to bring Nazi collaborators to justice... in the face of indifference and hostility from a government and culture seeking simply to move on. When he opted to covertly aid Israeli intelligence in the location and capture of Adolf Eichmann, he would place reputation and career-and freedom-on the line. Intriguing procedural co-stars Rüdiger Klink, Ronald Zehrfeld, Andrej Kaminsky, Jörg Schüttauf. 105 min. Widescreen, Soundtrack: German, Subtitles: English. In German with English subtitles.
