Through music, we are brought together and we can gain a better understanding of people from all corners of the Earth.I call this series I Dont Read Music since I am targeting beginners of all ages: children, teens, parents, and grandparents.This e-book includes 54 popular, rhythmic, and easy-to-play folk songs and melodies from all over the world. Since this e-book is aimed at the absolute beginner without any knowledge of reading music, I do not use the classical music staff and do not show the note duration. Each song here is written without classic musical notation but only with circles and numbered notes inside. First of all, I recommend following the QR-code which you will find on each page, listening to the song on YouTube, and then trying to repeat what is heard in the recordings. It will help to understand the rhythm pattern and duration.Keep in mind that folk music traditionally is not learned from sheet music or notes. Instead, it is learned by repetition and through being passed from generation to generation. I believe in this method of teaching, which is easier and more enjoyable. For learning purposes, all songs have been simplified and adapted especially for kalimba. Most songs have been transposed for one octave.So you can use an 8-note kalimba, but if you want to play all 54 songs, you should have a 10- or 17-note kalimba.Getting to know music from around the world can be one of the most exciting and appealing ways to be introduced to new and different cultures. Music is a universal language, meaning that it transcends borders and opens up an entirely new way of thinking.Table of contentsNorth AmericaAlice the CamelAni Couni ChaouaniAura LeeChicken on a Fence PostBim Bum BiddyBuckeye JimLil Liza JaneThe Farmer in the DellKum-Ba-YahPeace Like a RiverLand of the Silver BirchMy PaddleLatin AmericaBrinca la TablitaCucarachaDoDo Petit PoPoTingalayoCumpleanos FelizLost my Gold RingAfricaBanuwaChe Che KoolayDo-Do-Ki-DoFunga AlafiaKanzenzenzeLabe-igi-OromboObwisanaSansa KromaShosholozaSiyanibingelelaWelcome SongEuropeFive Little DucksFive Little MonkeysHush Little BabyOld Mother HubbardThis Old ManSee-Saw Margery DawDonde estan las LlavesAu Clair de la LunePirouette CacahueteFrere Jacques (Are You Sleeping?)Un Petit CochonVous Diraije Maman (Twinkle Little Star)Giro-Giro-TondoMein Hut (My Hat)O, TannenbaumAsiaKalinkaEkmek BuldumKum Bachur AtzelAnile, AnileGayatri MantraMaha Mrityundjaya MantraZhao Peng YouHotaru KoiAustralia and OceaniaEpo-i-Tai-Tai-eKangaroo, Skippy Roo

The Devil Prefers Mozart is the first comprehensive collection of Anthony Burgesss writings about music. In this extensive compilation of essays and reviews, he covers a vast range of musical topics, from the hurdy-gurdy to Beatlemania and the Sex Pistols, with Burgesss love of English music represented by writings on Elgar, Holst, and Delius. There are essays on Handel, Mozart, Beethoven, Berlioz and Wagner and other great composers from Monteverdi to Weill, as well as writings about Burgesss favourite performers, including Yehudi Menuhin, Larry Adler and John Sebastian. Whether whimsical (Food and Music), satirical (Anybody Can Conduct) or controversial (Why Punk Had to End in Evil), Burgesss writing is consistently informative and entertaining.The music of Debussy sparked Burgesss musical imagination so powerfully when he was a boy in Manchester that he composed his first symphony at eighteen years of age and aspired to a career as a professional composer until his mid-thirties. Writings about his own music provides valuable information about many of Burgesss compositions, including his Symphony in C, his works for guitar quartet, and his opera Blooms of Dublin based on Joyces Ulysses.Carcanet also publishes The Ink Trade, a companion volume of literary essays.

The Day The Country Died is the long-awaited follow-up to Ian Glaspers successful Burning Britain, and sees the author exploring in minute detail the obscure, esoteric, UK anarcho-punk scene of the early Eighties. If the bands in Burning Britain were loud, political and uncompromising, those examined in The Day The Country Died were even more so, totally prepared to risk their liberty to communicate the ideals they believed in so passionately. With Crass and Poison Girls opening the floodgates, the arrival of bands such as Zoundz, Flux Of Pink Indians, Conflict, Subhumans, Dirt, The Mob, Rudimentary Peni, Anti-Sect, Omega Tribe and Icons Of Filth heralded a brand new age of honesty and integrity in underground music. It was a time when punk stopped being merely a radical fashion statement, and became a force for real social change; a genuine revolutionary movement, driven by some of the most challenging noises ever committed to tape. Anarchy, as regards punk rock, no longer meant cash from chaos, it meant freedom, peace and unity. Anarcho-punk took the rebellion inherent in punk from Day One to a whole new level of personal awareness. All the scenes biggest names, and most of the smaller ones, are comprehensively covered with brand new, exclusive interviews and hundreds of previously unseen photographs. The Day The Country Died is the perfect companion piece to Burning Britain for anyone even remotely interested in the UK punk scene.

In The Dark Stuff Nick Kent profiles twenty-two of the most gifted and self-destructive talents in rock history. From Brian Wilson to Syd Barrett, the Rolling Stones to Neil Young, Iggy Pop to Lou Reed, he offers intimate portraits that are unimaginable in the world of todays market driven music business.

The singer may never be a member of the singer/songwriter in crowd. He knows he has the talent. And his band The Touts are being touted as the Next Big Thing. But you need someone to pay for studio time, book the tours, promo the albums and pay for beer tokens. Bo has enough money to buy new strings once a month and a new capo once a year.

George Wharton Edwards"The Book of Old English Ballads" is a meticulously curated anthology that celebrates the rich tapestry of English folk tradition through a collection of timeless ballads. Edwards employs a blend of lyrical elegance and scholarly precision, providing contemporary readers with both an appreciation for the original lyrical forms and a deeper understanding of their historical and cultural significance. The selection reflects a variety of themesfrom the heroic to the pastoralhighlighting the narrative strength and emotional resonance of this beloved literary genre, all while remaining accessible through Edwards deft editing and notes that contextualize each ballad within the broader landscapes of English literature. Edwards himself was a passionate advocate for the preservation of folk music and traditions, a stance that was likely influenced by his own background and experiences within the cultural melting pot of America at the turn of the 20th century. His work encompassed not only literature but also the visual arts, which enriched his narrative style in "The Book of Old English Ballads." His aim was to celebrate the lyrical beauty and narrative depth of the oral tradition, reconnecting modern audiences with their cultural heritage. For readers seeking a poignant introduction to English ballads, this anthology is an essential resource. It is not just a collection of poems; it is an exploration of the human experience through the ages, an invitation to step back in time and appreciate the enchanting stories that have shaped English cultural identity. Scholars, students, and lovers of poetry alike will find in this book both solace and inspiration.In this enriched edition, we have carefully created added value for your reading experience:- Handpicked Memorable Quotes shine a spotlight on moments of literary brilliance.- Interactive footnotes clarify unusual references, historical allusions, and archaic phrases for an effortless, more informed read.

It is the most singular of sounds, yet among the most ubiquitous. It is the sound of isolation that has sold itself to millions.Miles Daviss Kind of Blue is the best selling piece of music in the history of jazz, and for many listeners among the most haunting in all of twentieth-century music. It is also, notoriously, the only jazz album many people own. Recorded in 1959 (in nine miraculous hours), there has been nothing like it since. Its atmosphere - slow, dark, meditative, luminous - became all-pervasive for a generation, and has remained the epitome of melancholy coolness ever since.Richard Williams has written a history of the album which for once does not rip it out of its wider cultural context. He evokes the essence of the music - identifying the qualities that make it so uniquely appealing - while making effortless connections to painting, literature, philosophy and poetry. This makes for an elegant, graceful and beautifully-written narrative.

Everyone loves romantic music: the sweet melody of a Schubert song, the heroine dying for love in an Italian opera, the swooning orchestration of a Tchaikovsky symphony. But as Stephen Walsh - author of the highly praised Debussy: A Painter in Sound - points out in this intensely absorbing study, there is infinitely more to romantic music than meets the eye. The Beloved Vision amounts to a complete, entertaining and singularly readable account of the whole phase in music history that has become the mainstay of the twentieth and twenty-first century concert and operatic repertoire, with some little help from earlier times.The narrative begins in the eighteenth century, with C.P.E. Bach, Haydn and the literary movement known as Sturm und Drang, seen as a reaction of the individual artist to the confident certainties of the Enlightenment. The windows are flung open, and everything to do with style, form, even technique, is exposed to the emotional and intellectual weather, the impulses and preferences of the individual composer. Risk taking - the braving of the unknown - was certainly an important part of what the composers wanted to do, as true of Chopin and Verdi as it is of Berlioz and Wagner. Its an exciting, colourful, story, told with passion but also with the precision and clarity of detail for which this author is so widely admired.

Beggar.If Poverty be a Title to Poetry, I am sure nobody can dispute mine. I own myself of the Company of Beggars; and I make one at their Weekly Festivals at St. Giless. I have a small Yearly Salary for my Catches, and am welcome to a Dinner there whenever I please, which is more than most Poets can say.Player. As we live by the Muses, it is but Gratitude in us to encourage Poetical Merit wherever we find it. The Muses, contrary to all other Ladies, pay no Distinction to Dress, and never partially mistake the Pertness of Embroidery for Wit, nor the Modesty of Want for Dulness. Be the Author who he will, we push his Play as far as it will go. So (though you are in Want) I wish you success heartily.Beggar. This piece I own was originally writ for the celebrating the Marriage of James Chaunter and Moll Lay, two most excellent Ballad-Singers. I have introduced the Similes that are in all your celebrated Operas: The Swallow, the Moth, the Bee, the Ship, the Flower, &c. Besides, I have a Prison-Scene, which the Ladies always reckon charmingly pathetic. As to the Parts, I have observed such a nice Impartiality to our two Ladies, that it is impossible for either of them to take Offence. I hope I may be forgiven, that I have not made my Opera throughout unnatural, like those in vogue; for I have no Recitative; excepting this, as I have consented to have neither Prologue nor Epilogue, it must be allowed an Opera in all its Forms. The Piece indeed hath been heretofore frequently represented by ourselves in our Great Room at St. Giless, so that I cannot too often acknowledge your Charity in bringing it now on the Stage.Player. But I see it is time for us to withdraw; the Actors are preparing to begin. Play away the Overture.Exeunt.

A unique Companion to J S Bachs iconic Cello Suites from internationally-renowned cellist Steven Isserlis.Isserlis is the master of the material, yet always able to make it accessible . . . It is an absolute treat to be led to this sublime music by such an ethusiastic expert.MICHAEL PALINThe book Ive always wanted: an accessible, eloquent guide to the worlds greatest - and maybe most elusive - pieces of music. And written by the man Id want to tell me about it. This is such a delight.DERREN BROWNIlluminating.OBSERVERStriking.THE SPECTATORBachs six Cello Suites are among the most cherished of all the works in the classical music literature. Shrouded in mystery - they were largely unknown for some two hundred years after their composition - they have acquired a magical aura which continues to attract and fascinate audiences the world over. To cellists they represent a musical bible, to listeners, scarcely less. Through what are on the surface simple dance suites, Bach takes us on a spiritual journey like no other, leading us from joy to tragedy, concluding in jubilation, even triumph.Award-winning international cellist Steven Isserlis, whose recent recording of the Suites met with the highest critical acclaim, goes deep into that emotional journey, bringing to bear all his many years experience of performing the Suites. His book is intended as a rewarding companion for all music lovers, ranging from the casual listener to the performing musician. By offering his own very personal observations of the music, Isserliss aim is to take the reader further into the world of the Suites in order to enhance the experience of hearing some of the greatest works ever composed.Praise for Steven Isserlis BACH: THE CELLO SUITESThe most wonderful cello-playing, surely among the most consistently beautiful to have been heard in this demanding music.GRAMOPHONEIsserlis has done the impossible. He has given the listener something new, and indeed something outstandingly good . . . This recording can sit proudly on the shelf alongside the great recordings of Casals and Rostropovich. In fact, I may find myself picking it up as the favourite.BBC RADIO 3

The Anti-Slavery Harp: A Collection of Songs for Anti-Slavery Meetings is an evocative anthology that captures the spirit and urgency of the abolitionist movement in 19th-century America. Through a compilation of poignant lyrics and stirring melodies, this collection harnesses the power of music as a tool for social change, reflecting the literary style of folk and spiritual traditions. The texts are imbued with a passionate call for justice, employing vivid imagery and emotive language that aim to inspire both activism and empathy in the audience, contextualized within a historical framework of moral and political upheaval during the slavery debates. Compiled by various abolitionists and activists deeply entrenched in the struggle against slavery, The Anti-Slavery Harp serves as both a literal and symbolic anthem of resistance. The contributors, many of whom were prominent figures in the abolitionist movement, drew upon their personal convictions and experiences, aiming to galvanize communities against the injustices of slavery. Their collective voices reflect an era marked by both despair and hope, underscoring the transformative power of art in societal reform. I highly recommend The Anti-Slavery Harp for readers interested in understanding the intricate relationship between art and activism. This collection not only offers a glimpse into the cultural landscape of the time but also serves as a reminder of the enduring fight for justice. Engaging with this anthology will enrich your awareness of historical struggles and encourage critical reflection on ongoing social issues.
