A DAZED BOOK OF THE YEARA landmark social history of British rap and grime - from the artists and communities who created and were shaped by the music, to the listeners who found a sense of identity and home within it. WITH A NEW FOREWORD BY GARY YOUNGERemarkable.GUARDIANSublime.NEW STATESMANEssential.THE WIREPioneering.MOJOEkpoudom has written the book Ive been waiting to read . . . Intimate and illuminating.CALEB AZUMAH NELSON, author of Open Water and Small WorldsBrims with life and reverberates, long after you have closed its pages, with a quiet, lasting power.JIMI FAMUWERA, EVENING STANDARD*** Something is happening in Britain, trembling the tracks as it unfolds. Recent years have borne witness to underground genres leaking out from the inner cities, going on to become some of the most popular music in the nation.In this groundbreaking social history, journalist Aniefiok Ekpoudom travels the country to paint a compelling portrait of the dawn, boom and subsequent blossoming of UK rap and grime. Taking us from the heart of south London to the West Midlands and South Wales, he explores how a history of migration and an enduring spirit of resistance have shaped the current realities of these linked communities and the music they produce. These sounds have become vessels for the marginalised, carrying Black and working-class stories into the light.Vividly depicted and compassionately told, Where We Come From weaves together intimate stories of resilience, courage and loss, as well as a shared music culture that gave refuge and purpose to those in search of belonging. Ekpoudom offers a rich chronicle of rap, identity, place and, above all, the social and human condition in modern Britain.

This e-book is for kids or adults who are absolute beginners in music. I tried to write it as simply as possible. That is why I use an easy-to-play visual aid so any beginner can play music quickly.Neither kids nor their parents have to read sheet music or have a musical background. No previous knowledge is necessary. None at all.Every song has a large and simple, color and letter-coded visual, along with traditional sheet music. The instruction is designed so that children begin with simple circles and gradually advance to reading notes using sheet music. I try to make this transition as easy as a game, where children advance to higher levels themselves.There is a total of 22 songs and 3 options to help children to begin to play right away.PLAYING BY COLOR CIRCLEPLAY BY LETTERPLAY WITH THE MUSICAL STAFFThe player can first follow the circles and then repeat with the classic note symbols and staff. The helpful letters are always above the notes.There are 3 parts to this e-book. They are equal to 3 levels.Level 1Songs that are played in one octave. All songs here appear twice: once written with circles and the next time with classic music notes. This will help kids remember the staff notes.For example:Mary Had a Little Lamb - Ver 1 - CirclesMary Had a Little Lamb - Ver 1 - NotesLevel 2In this part, you will find one version with both circles and notes and a more advanced version of the song with notes and musical notation.For example:Hot Cross Buns - Ver 1 - CIRCLESHot Cross Buns - Ver 1 - NOTESHot Cross Buns - Ver 2 - NOTES (Here the player will play songs in a different key and learn to transpose.)Generally, the version of the song written with sheet music is a little bit more complex than a letter-coded version. Such versions already have music notations such as rests or beams, etc. You can find an illustrated explanation of the notation at the end of this e-book.Level 3Here, the first two songs are versions of the same melody (different combinations of notes) written with circles and notes. This is important so that the beginner can see how the same melody can be played in different keys.First of all, this e-book is addressed to newcomers to any keyboard instrument (such as Piano or Synthesizer). I offer 22 one-hand piano songs.Also, it is a perfect self-training guide for children and beginner adults to mastering the challenges of percussion instruments such as kalimba, marimba, xylophone, glockenspiel, or even color bell set.Table of contentsLevel 1Mary Had a Little LambOde to JoyThe Wheels on the BusJolly Old Saint NicholasTen Little FingersLondon BridgeDo You Know the Muffin Man?we Wish You a Merry ChristmasThe First NoelBrahms LullabyRow Row Your BoatItsy Bitsy SpiderSilent NightOh SusannahLevel 2Hot Cross BunsAre You Sleeping?Old McDonaldLevel 3Jingle BellsLa CucarachaYankee DoodleHappy BirthdayAmazing GraceMusic Note ValuesMusical Puzzles

For the second half of his long life, Christopher Logue (1926-2011) - political rebel, inventor of the poster poem, pioneer of poetry and jazz - was at work on a very different project: a rewriting of Homers Iliad. The volumes that appeared from War Music (1981) onwards were distinct from translations, in that they set out to be a radical reimagining and reconfiguration of Homers tale of warfare, human folly and the power of the gods, in a language and style of verse that were emphatically modern. As each instalment, from Kings to Cold Calls, was published, it became clear that this was to be Logues masterpiece.Sadly, illness prevented him from finishing it. Enough, however, of his projected final volume, Big Men Falling a Long Way, survives in notebook drafts to give a clear sense of its shape, as well as some of its dramatic high points. These have been gathered into an appendix by Logues friend and one-time editor, Christopher Reid. The result comes as near as possible to representing the poets complete vision, and confirms what his admirers have long known, that Logues Homer is one of the great poems of our time.

This book is characterized as the result of an ethnomusicological and historical research by Recife musician Walter Wanderley (1932-1986), known as a representative of Bossa Nova. Organist, pianist, arranger and sporadic composer, Walter Wanderley has released dozens of records on record labels such as Odeon, Philips, the American company Verve and many others, both as an instrumentalist and arranger for singers and as solo instrumental albums. Even with such a robust record production, Walter Wanderley seems to have been forgotten by most records in the History of Brazilian Popular Music. This book tries to help understand how this success happened predominantly only outside his country of origin and the reasons why his name was practically omitted by historiography and by important references of Bossa Nova. As was his performance in other genres such as Samba, Bolero, Sambalanço and Sambajazz, which are much more present in his work than Bossa Nova itself, a genre for which the artist came to be labeled as representative, especially after his death. The book makes a contribution to the construction of knowledge for Ethnomusicology, Musicology and other areas of study of Brazilian Popular Music in its relations with the cultural industry and with the aspects between Memory and Forgetfulness.

Este livro se caracteriza como resultado de uma pesquisa etnomusicológica e histórica do músico recifense Walter Wanderley (1932-1986), conhecido como representante da Bossa Nova. Organista, pianista, arranjador e compositor bissexto, Walter Wanderley lançou dezenas de discos por gravadoras como Odeon, Philips, a norte-americana Verve e muitas outras, tanto como instrumentista e arranjador para cantores e cantoras, quanto como em discos de trabalho solo instrumental. Mesmo com uma produço discografica to robusta, Walter Wanderley parece ter sido esquecido pela maioria dos registros da Historia da Musica Popular Brasileira. Este livro tenta ajudar a compreender de que forma esse sucesso aconteceu predominantemente apenas fora de seu pais de origem e as razes pelas quais seu nome foi praticamente omitido pela historiografia e por importantes referencias da Bossa Nova. Como aconteceu sua atuaço em outros generos como Samba, Bolero, Sambalanço e Sambajazz, que se mostram muito mais presentes em sua obra do que a propria Bossa Nova, genero pelo qual o artista passou a ser rotulado como representante, principalmente apos sua morte. O livro traz uma contribuiço na construço do conhecimento para a Etnomusicologia, Musicologia e outras areas de estudo da Musica Popular Brasileira nas suas relaçes com a industria cultural e com os aspectos entre Memoria e Esquecimento

Voices of Spring (Voci di Primavera) op. 410, e un valzer di Johann Strauss (figlio).Nellinverno del 1882-83 il compositore fu invitato a comporre un valzer vocale per il celebre soprano austriaco Bianca Bianchi (il cui vero nome era Bertha Schwarz), al tempo un acclamato membro del Wiener Hopfoperntheater (Teatro dellopera reale di Vienna).Il valzer fu eseguito per la prima volta al Theater an der Wien il 1º marzo 1883 ad un concerto di beneficenza per la fondazione degli indigenti dellImpero austro-ungarico fondata dallimperatore Francesco Giuseppe e dallimperatrice Elisabetta.Strauss, dopo il successo che aveva ottenuto con i suoi valzer corali, fu felice di scrivere un brano per sola voce e il librettista Richard Genee, che aveva gia collaborato con il compositore nelloperetta Eine Nacht in Venedig (Una notte a Venezia) del 1883, scrisse anche il testo per il nuovo valzer.Lautunno del 1882 vide Strauss impegnato a Budapest per curare la prima rappresentazione delloperetta Der lustige Krieg (Lallegra Guerra; 1881). Durante lo svolgimento di una delle serate in onore della visita del musicista viennese, fu Strauss stesso ad esibirsi al pianoforte con un altro degli illustri ospiti della serata: Franz Liszt. I due compositori si conoscevano gia molto bene da almeno 30 anni (Strauss aveva dedicato il suo valzer Abschieds-Rufe op. 179 a Liszt nel gennaio del 1856) e si incontrarono in numerose altre occasioni. Fu questa visita che forni lispirazione per la scrittura del valzer Fruhlingsstimmen.Successivamente il valzer venne arrangiato da Johann in versione solamente orchestrale e fu eseguito in questa forma, oggi celeberrima, da Eduard Strauss durante uno dei suoi concerti al Musikverein nel 1883.Nel 1934 il valzer fu riutilizzato per loperetta "postuma" (con musiche di Strauss jr.) Die Tanzerin Fanny Eller.Durante il Concerto di Capodanno del 1987, Herbert von Karajan, inseri nel programma il valzer Fruhlingsstimmen eseguendolo nella versione vocale originale con il soprano Kathleen Battle.

Every nation has a song a melody meant to unite, to honor, and to remember. But behind the stirring notes and patriotic lyrics lie stories far more complex, emotional, and human than the words we sing. Voices of a Nation unveils the real histories behind national anthems around the world songs born from bloodshed, rebellion, heartbreak, and triumph.From ancient chants of resistance to modern symbols of unity, each anthem carries within it the struggles, victories, and contradictions of its people. Some were written in the heat of revolution, others by poets who never imagined their verses would echo across generations.Inside youll discover:How La Marseillaise began as a battle cry that terrified monarchs and inspired freedom movements worldwide.Why The Star-Spangled Banner was never meant to be sung and how it almost didnt become the anthem of the United States.The forgotten verses of God Save the King that reveal its original message of divine submission.How African independence movements used song as a weapon against colonial rule.The emotional weight behind anthems banned, rewritten, or reclaimed after war and revolution.Written in vivid, accessible language, Voices of a Nation combines history, music, and politics to show how national anthems are more than just melodies they are emotional time capsules. Each story reveals the heartbeat of a people, their suffering and pride transformed into song.Perfect for teachers, historians, and lovers of culture and music, this book reminds us that every note we sing is part of a larger human story one of struggle, resilience, and shared identity.

Dallo spazio apparentemente marginale della quotidianita e del domestico, le donne hanno trovato nel canto e nelle storie orali una delle espressioni piu autentiche dei propri vissuti. Le donne hanno cantato e si sono fatte udire, con una voce critica tanto collettiva quanto plurale che poneva domande, raccontava e si raccontava, trasformava e creava, lottava, si schierava e resisteva. Eppure, la memoria della voce delle donne e tutta da colmare. Sono pochissimi i repertori specifici e pochissime le donne ricordate nel canto popolare. In questo profondo vuoto si inserisce la ricerca di Alice Mammola che rintraccia questa eredita sussurrata di voce in voce, intrecciando Storia e storie personali. Il corredo orale che le donne mondine, lavandaie, contadine, operaie si passano di generazione in generazione e ricco e pesante, parla di fatti specifici e si rivolge a una complessita di orecchie, grida in quelle dei padroni e di chi detiene il potere e si fa strumento di rivolta e di autoconsapevolezza. Recuperando e analizzando decine di canti popolari, da quelli quasi ignoti alle canzoni ormai iconiche, questo saggio diventa baule per tramandare la memoria di chi altrimenti e destinata allinvisibilizzazione.
