RAY RAGHUNATH CAPPO - LEGENDARISK HARDCORE-PUNKMUSIKER, MUNK OG PIONER INDEN FOR STRAIGHT EDGE-BEVÆGELSEN – FORTÆLLER HER SINE ERINDRINGER MED DYBFØLT VARME, ÅBENHED OG HUMOR. Ray Cappo var en hardcore/punksanger og straight edge pioner, der boede på Lower East Side i New York City i 1980’erne, hvor hans band Youth of Today spillede for fyldte huse og tusindvis af fans. Men til trods for at Ray udgav adskillige plader og turnerede over hele USA, var han ikke tilfreds. Berømmelsen og succesen havde ikke bragt den lykke med sig, han havde håbet på. Det havde kun efterladt ham med følelse af tomhed. Dette, sammen med sin fars alt for tidlige død, fik Ray til brat at forlade bandet og købe en enkeltbillet til Indien i jagten på svarene på livets store spørgsmål. Her levede han blandt munke i den hellige landsby Vrindavan og omfavnede den rige, åndelige kultur, han opdagede der. Da han vendte tilbage til USA, gennemgribende forandret, dannede han bandet Shelter – dedikeret til at sprede et budskab om håb. Fortalt med varme, ærlighed og humor beskriver denne dybfølte erindringsbog Rays rejse fra punk til munk. HISTORISK: Bogen giver et unikt indblik i punk- og hardcorescenen omkring Lower East Side i 1980’erne og straight edge-bevægelsens tidlige år. ÅNDELIGT: Bogen stiller (og besvarer) dybe spørgsmål om vores forhold til verden omkring os og de levende væsener, der befolker den. PERSONLIGT: Beskriver Rays åndelige rejse med egne ord – fortalt med varme, ærlighed og humor. Kort om forfatteren: Som teenager grundlagde Ray Raghunath Cappo hardcore/punk-bandet Youth of Today, som var fortalere for principperne om ren livsstil, vegetarisme og selvkontrol. Efter at have oplevet en åndelig opvågnen i Indien, dannede han et nyt band, Shelter, dedikeret til at sprede et budskab om håb gennem åndelig forbindelse. Ray leder i dag yoga-retreats, yogalæreruddannelser og kirtans på sit Supersoul Farm Retreat Center i Upstate New York, såvel som årlige pilgrimsrejser til Indien. Han er medstifter af og vært på Wisdom of the Sages, en daglig yoga-podcast, der har ligget #1 på Apple over listen af podcasts om spiritualitet.

Gracchus is a grand opera that tells of an unforgettable human drama set to soaring music. The whole unfolds according to the principles of the total work of art (Gesamtkunstwerk), incorporating perennial human themes while embracing music, poetry, dance, scenography, and philosophical reflection in a spectacle of emotional power whose purpose is to entertain and to edify. Besides the dialogue and lyrics, the libretto contains summary descriptions of the music for each scene giving the reader a substantive taste of the score. Though the plot has a historical basis being set in the late Roman Republic and centered on the life of Gaius Gracchus, a tribune of the people, the story uses that period to create a socio-political allegory of contemporary times. The text and score of Gracchus do not, finally, just combine but merge to produce a single aesthetic phenomenon inspired by the roots of opera, epic literature, and the dramatic tradition of classical tragedy.

As they embarked on this transformative journey, they were embraced by a community of educators and peers who would become more than just mentors and friends - they would be the catalysts propelling them towards their dreams.Among the luminaries who would guide and inspire these young artists, three remarkable educators stood out as pillars of wisdom and knowledge.

Lastly, Mr. Kenneth Sampson, the director of bands, orchestration instructor, and a guru of instrumentation, completed this triumvirate of mentors, each possessing a unique blend of expertise and passion.

This collection includes sea chantey variations, sea songs, work songs, parodies, light verse, forecastle songs, and the occasional ballads culled over the last year from newspapers, libraries, and online sources. Most of the songs originated between 1850 and 1930. The need for clipper ships and sailing packets slowly disappeared in the mid to late nineteenth century, and the sea songs and chanteys soon followed. The sounds of the donkey engine and the steam capstan have replaced the chantey. The chantey and forecastle songs slowly moved from these vessels to the boarding houses, pubs, and along the waterfront of large seaports, keeping the tradition alive.* Several songs in this book are variations of older sea chanteys, while other songs are composed and sung in the tradition, using the voice as a vocal metronome with a pronounced rhythm.* At the turn of the century, there was a rejuvenation of interest in the history and the singing of seachanteys and sea songs with concerts and folk music collectors.

Poul Schierbeck (1888-1949) er en af de vigtigste danske komponister fra første halvdel af 1900-tallet. Han havde en omfattende karriere og blev især kendt for sin brillante orkestermusik, operaen Fête Galante og for sine sange – ikke mindst ”I Danmark er jeg født”.Schierbeck blev i sin samtid opfattet som en arvtager til Carl Nielsen, fordi han mestrede både de enkle melodier og de store komplekse formater. Han overgik dog både Carl Nielsen og de fleste andre danske komponister med sin overlegne teknik, og af samme grund blev han en meget betydningsfuld lærer for de efterfølgende generationer.Hans elegante og poetiske kompositioner har desværre længe været overset, men de senere år er de blevet udgivet i nye nodeudgaver, og med denne bog er Poul Schierbecks liv og musik langt om længe også blevet grundt præsenteret.

Jews have been a major presence in America's jazz, as musicians and as jazz facilitators, and in Kosher Jammers: Jewish Connections in Jazz - The USA, Gerber tells that story with a rigour worthy of academia but with a feature writer's creative flair. Besides drawing on a plethora of second-hand sources, Kosher Jammers is absolutely packed with first-hand material, from interviews, phone calls and emails with jazz figures, Jewish and otherwise - including possibly the last ever interview with swing era icon Artie Shaw. Among the many other interviewees are black jazz figures such as saxophonist Buddy Collette and the critic Stanley Crouch, as a key theme running through the book is the relationship between Jews and African Americans in jazz. The impact on jazz of tunes written by Jewish "Great American Songbook" composers such as George Gershwin, Harold Arlen and Johnny Green is also covered, And the book features an extensive study of the Jewish-jazz phenomenon, whereby musicians from Ziggy Ellman in the 1930s to contemporary artists, notably John Zorn, have sought to create jazz that draws on Jewish music influences and themes. Gerber drives home the point that, even had there never been a single Jewish jazz musician, Jews will still have contributed massively to the development of jazz in the United States, as managers, impresarios, venue owners, label founders, writers and such. 382 pages
