Individual composers & musicians, specific bands & groupsOctober 2010The Beethoven song companion
by Paul Reid
This is the first full-length, published study of Beethoven's songs. All the composer's songs with piano are included, with full German texts and translations, together with comprehensive notes on the poetry and the music. The inclusion of unfinished songs gives a fascinating insight into Beethoven's compositional methods. An introductory essay considers reasons for the relative neglect of the songs, the significance of Beethoven's choice of texts, his crucial role in the development of German art-song and specific aspects such as choice of key. Throughout the book, poetic and musical texts are discussed in their historical context, and in the overall context of Beethoven's life and music. It is anticipated that this book, like its predecessor The Schubert Song Companion, will encourage the performance and study of an important but comparatively neglected aspect of the work of the world's most celebrated composer.

Humanities & Social SciencesMarch 2024A savage song
Racist violence and armed resistance in the early twentieth-century U.S.–Mexico Borderlands
by Margarita Aragon
This book examines key moments in which collective and state violence invigorated racialized social boundaries around Mexican and African Americans in the United States, and in which they violently contested them. Bringing anti-Mexican violence into a common analytical framework with anti-black violence, A savage song examines several focal points in this oft-ignored history, including the 1915 rebellion of ethnic Mexicans in South Texas, and its brutal repression by the Texas Rangers and the 1917 mutiny of black soldiers of the 24th Infantry Regiment in Houston, Texas, in response to police brutality. Aragon considers both the continuities and stark contrasts across these different moments: how were racialized constructions of masculinity differently employed? How did African and Mexican American men, including those in uniform, respond to the violence of racism? And how was their resistance, including their claims to manhood and nation, understood by law enforcement, politicians, and the press? Building on extensive archival research, the book examines how African and Mexican American men have been constructed as 'racial problems', investigating, in particular, their relationship with law enforcement and ideas about black and Mexican criminality.

October 2015Learning Qin with Me
by Liu Zhenyu, Deng Hong
As a gem of Chinese culture, qin (7-stringed zither) became a representative of human oral and intangible heritage at the UNESCO World Heritage Conference in 2003. Its popularization rests on the popularization of introductory textbooks. Qin can help the coordination of hand and mind, activate the human brain and enhance memory. It can also sharpen people’s hearing and bring joys to people. The invention of this musical instrument has made the Chinese people cleverer and the ancient Chinese civilization ahead of other world civilizations, leaving behind precious treasures. Learning Qin with Me is a systematic introductory textbook. It includes an introduction of qin, its cultural continuity and change, its basic knowledge, and its basic fingering, scales, works and songs accompanied by it. The textbook also contains an introduction of the traditional Chinese gongchi musical notation. The qin works and songs appear in numbered musical notation, staff, and qin tablature. As it is very difficult to typeset qin tablature, this is the only qin introductory textbook with qin tablature at present. The book is also attached with a demonstrative CD.

Roman
by Ahn Do-Hyun, Hyuk Sook Kim, Manfred Selzer
Sanft wiegt der Grüne Fluss die Lachse auf ihrem Weg zum Oberlauf, dem Ort, wo sie geboren wurden. Sie sind weit geschwommen, haben den Fluten des Ozeans getrotzt und sind mutig den Wasserfall hinaufgesprungen – sie sind ihrer Bestimmung gefolgt und haben getan, was Lachse eben so tun. Doch einer unter ihnen, Silberlachs, will sich nicht damit zufriedengeben – der Sinn seines Daseins muss doch aus mehr bestehen, als blind dem Schwarm zu folgen? Immer wieder streckt er den Kopf aus dem Wasser und blickt sehnsüchtig in die Welt da draußen, gar bis zu den Sternen hinauf. Er will frei sein. Doch seine geliebte Freundin Klarauge warnt ihn davor, Regenbogen nachzujagen. Warum bin ich auf der Welt? Was braucht es zum Glück? Die Geschichte des Fisches, der zu träumen wagte, hat Millionen von Lesern verzaubert. Ahn Do-Hyun stellt mit leichter Hand die großen Fragen des Lebens. Denn im weiten Universum ist jeder nur ein kleiner Fisch – und doch ist jedes Leben einzigartig und wunderbar.

October 2023The Nile of the Living
by Mohamed Abdallah
“In the old days, passing on an inheritance was rarely an issue. Oh, there were always old men to complain about the folly of the new generations and cheeky brats ready to mock their elders, but, on the whole, the world of sons resembled that of fathers, and the lessons of the latter were passed on without much difficulty. Today, each era seems to create its own world, bringing its own new life into it. The challenge is not to lose sight of the aspects of continuity that reign from one era to the next.” Mohamed Abdallah Egypt, its neighbors. Cairo, a city that has created an arena for itself between the jaws of the desert. Its river emerges from elsewhere, the Nile, always there, meandering amiably between Cairo's buildings, sometimes disappearing behind a mosque or cinema, before reappearing for good, an ancient comrade in a procession backwards through the decades. Its nourishing trickles are laden with secrets, the destinies of men and women and the mysteries of millennia. One era? No, several. At the beginning, or rather at the end, two novelists, two cousins who don't know each other but remember the same universe. In their books, they recount its beauty, greatness and pettiness, successes and failings. The root of this painful poetics? A revived horizon, refracted from one era to the next. Revolutions wished for, sung about, mourned. A world, several continents believing themselves to be in the hollow of a valley where faces emerge, voices rise, psalms are declaimed, music dances, scents run through the streets... Oumm Koulthoum, Youcef Cha-hine, Tawfiq al-Hakim, Ahmad Shawqi, Cheikh Imam, Fouad Nagm, Soad Hosny and... take their place at Café Isfet in the El Gamaliyya district. Broken, twisted, surviving, magnificent friendships. Unspoken loves, over-thought, under-experienced. Good-natured, jovial, albeit frazzled, witnesses. And, in the midst of this field of superb ruins, life, its aspirations, the arts and their.
