Illustrated with photos. Synopsis Irving Berlin (1888-1989) was unable to read or write music and could only play the piano in the key of F-sharp major; yet, for the first half of the twentieth century he was America's most successful and most representative songwriter, composing such hits as "Alexander's Ragtime Band," "Cheek to Cheek," "Let's Face the Music and Dance," "Puttin' on the Ritz," "White Christmas," "Anything You Can Do," "There's No Business Like Show Business," and "God Bless America." As Thousands Cheer, winner of the Ralph J. Gleason Music Book Award, explores with precision and sensitivity Berlin's long, prolific career; his self-doubt and late-blooming misanthropy; and the tyrannical control he exerted over his legacy of song. From his immigrant beginnings through Tin Pan Alley, Broadway, and Hollywood to his reclusive and bitter final years, this definitive biography reveals the man who wrote 1500 songs but could never quash the fear that, for all his success, he wasn't quite good enough. .

Brought up in a religious household in St. Louis, young Charles Edward Anderson Berry got into bad company, stole a car and was given a 10-year prison term.

But it took celebrated teacher and music visionary Don Campbell to show us just how deep, with his landmark book The Mozart Effect. Stimulating, authoritative, and often lyrical, The Mozart Effect has a simple but life-changing message: music is medicine for the body, the mind, and the soul.

Here are dramatic accounts of how music is used to deal with everything from anxiety to cancer, high blood pressure, chronic pain, dyslexia, and even mental illness.

Synopsis In this book, The authors have compiled a fascinating oral history of Woody Herman's life from the 'Band That Plays The Blues' in the 1930's through the Thundering Herds of 1980's. His orchestras thrilled generations of jazz lovers around the world. Publishers Weekly This comprehensive, entertaining history follows the long career of bandleader, clarinetist and saxophonist Herman (1913-1987) and his Herds, as his successive bands were called. Clancy, archivist of the Woody Herman bands, helped by Kenton, widow of bandleader Stan Kenton, covers each band's organization, chronicling the comings and goings of the musicians and the particulars of every performance and recording. The text consists mainly of lengthy quotations from band members, Herman's daughter Ingrid and Herman himself. These personal recollections, full of amusing anecdotes and tales of high jinks in which the fun-loving Herman often participated, provide glimpses into the inner workings of the bands and say much about the character of a bandleader who was both taskmaster and father figure to his musicians-a loyal friend with such a big heart that he couldn't bring himself to condemn the manager who left him owing nearly $1.5 million to the IRS in back taxes.

Scarecrow Pr, 1995 Fine condition. NO remainder marks or price clippings. Tight spine, bright pages. Illustrated with photos. NO writing, marks or tears inside book. 179 pages. Synopsis Rudolph Ganz (1877-1972) was an eminent musician and a champion of modern music. Throughout his long and prolific career as a pianist, conductor, composer, and educator, this Swiss/American musician represented an incomparable link between the old and new. Personal recollections included Liszt and Brahms and friendships with Busoni, Paderewski, Schweitzer, Toscanini, Theodore Thomas, Rachmaninoff, and Bartok. Ravel, Griffes, and Tcherepnin, among others, dedicated important compositions to him. His programs frequently offered first performances of contemporary music. As late as 1962, at age 85, Ganz continued to pioneer new music at the First International Webern Festival. This first biography of Rudolf Ganz not only fills an important and missing gap in the history of the "golden age" of pianism, but provides the first balanced appraisal of Ganz's tenure as conductor of the St. Louis Symphony Orchestra (1921-27). The author also traces Ganz's role as one of America's most imaginative and influential music educators. As conductor of the children and young people's concerts in St. Louis (1922-27), New York (1939-48), San Francisco (1939-48),and Chicago (1944-46), Ganz was responsible for introducing American youth to classical music during the early decades of this century. He extended his influence in education as president of the Chicago Musical College (1934-54) and a member of its faculty (1900-05 and 1928-69). The biography is illustrated and includes extensive endnotes and appendixes. Author Biography: Jeanne Colette Collester (M.Ed., Miami University of Ohio; MA, Washington University, St. Louis) is the step-daughter of Rudolph Ganz. She is Associate Professor and Chairof Art History, Principia College, Elsah, Illinois. In 1988 she published "Frederick Oakes Sylvester: The Principia Collection", a monograph on the turn-of-the-century St. Louis artist. In addition to teaching, she co-directs a number of art history programs in Europe, including an art history/music program which travels to London, Paris, Amsterdam, Berlin, Prague, Munich, and Vienna. .

Barbara Mandrell is pictured as a hard worker, always on the move, devoted to family, energized by religious commitmenta picture drawn with broad strokes. Yet, ``beneath the somewhat Pollyanna exterior is a core of smooth steel,'' notes her biographer, who suggests that this may account for her triumph over a near-fatal auto accident in 1984 that maimed her, injured her children and killed the driver of the other car. The arduous work of physical and emotional recovery ended in success, which Mandrell attributes to religious faith and family.

Synopsis Linda Katherine Cutting's memoir of family and music movingly portrays the trauma and recovery of a woman whose childhood was betrayed by those who were supposed to protect her. In exquisite prose she illuminates the inner life of a child for whom the gift of music was the only refuge, a refuge that protected her as long as it could. For when Linda began to remember what her father had done to her and her brothers - both eventual suicides - she stopped being able to remember Beethoven's notes. Linda Cutting's writing bears witness to what had occurred. Her stunning "Hers" column, originally published in the New York Times Magazine in October 1993, was clipped and carried in wallets and pocketbooks and reprinted around the world.

Universally acclaimed as a musical genius, Miles is one of the most important and influential musicians in the world. The subject of several biographies, now Miles speaks out himself about his extraordinary life. Miles: The Autobiography, like Miles himself, holds nothing back. For the first time Miles talks about his five-year silence. He speaks frankly and openly about his drug problem and how he overcame it. He condemns the racism he has encountered in the music business and in American society generally. And he discusses the women in his life. But above all, Miles talks about music and musicians, including the legends he has played with over the years: Bird, Dizzy, Monk, Trane, Mingus, and many others. The man who has given us some of the most exciting music of the past few decades has now given us a compelling and fascinating autobiography, featuring a concise discography and thirty-two pages of photographs. Annotation Miles Davis--a performer famous fornottalking--tells all: from his brilliant musical debut with Charles Parker and Dizzy Gillespie, to his creative encounters with such greats as John Coltrane and Herbie Hancock; from his recording of such classics as Porgy and Bess, to his pioneer work in the jazz fusion movement.

Tight spine, bright pages. 223 pages. Synopsis Walt Whitman wouldn't have to strain his ears to hear America singing. Over twenty million Americans sing publicly in a choir, chorus, or other ensemble. In an irresistible writing voice, Joan Oliver Goldsmith celebrates the world of song. She brings the reader inside the music she loves, to share the physical joys and agonies of making harmonious sound and the sensual pleasures of hearing it. She shares her inspirations and wisdom -- about making mistakes, about courage and difficulty, about teaching, friendship, self-knowledge, and the essential elements of creativity. When Goldsmith observes conductors, she gives insight into leadership, and when she participates in the chorus she intuits the essence of great "followership." Finding the range in which it's most comfortable to sing, she discovers, is linked to finding one's home in other areas of life and work. Above all, Goldsmith teaches us to listen to ourselves, and not to hold back in playing the "invisible instrument" of the creative spirit -- whether in writing poetry, restoring old cars, planting a garden, or singing a good old song. .

Synopsis Lisa Gubernick's Get Hot or Go Home is the inside story of the business of Nashville's Music Row. This is a behind-the-scenes look at the making and marketing of one of its newest stars - and at the anatomy of the hustle of a platinum-selling record. On the tour bus, on stage, in the recording studio, through the endless rounds of "meet-and-greets," in the strategy sessions at MCA Nashville, and finally through the grueling tension of the Country Music Association Awards night - Gubernick followed Yearwood through her first full year of fame. For lovers of the music, for students of the industry, for readers of business thrillers like The Devil's Candy or Barbarians at the Gate, Gubernick offers an incomparably revealing view of the life of a rising country star, and the price paid for glory.
