The ideal purpose of the book is to contribute to the growth of individuality and character. To this end songs have been slected which provide for free and spontaneous expression of all the normal moods and activities of young people; songs of joy, humor, hope, courage, sumpathy, devotion, ecstasy, aspiration and achievement; songs of action and the dance; of Nature and'the great out-of-doors.' The book teaches an exalted conception of human relations, in songs of altruism, freedom, comradeship, goodness, brotherhood and peace; and sounds a high note of patriotism. An aim of the book has been to express 'The People' in music - one of the truest forms of community effort and service - our America, the hope of an ideal humanity, with its Washington, Lincoln, and all the heroes of patriotic endeavor whose achievements are made the occasion of public recognition." 0607N0000C19 Music more information

"The majority of these primitive artists strive after some aspect of the world which folk art typifies and which in the civilization of our age is disintegrating and disappearing. This can mean that what is essentially genuine and good is often flawed by poor and inadequate means of expression. But it can also happen that we are so deeply moved by the imaginative freedom in the work of a primitive sculptor that we inevitable find ourselves trying to follow him across the mental bridges of his dreams. Certainly this was the impact the work of Bogosav Zivkovic made on me the first time I saw it." 0106N0195B18 Art more information

"John Piper was one of hte leading Modernist artists of hte twentieth century whose work was not only at the forefront of artistic developments but also appealed directly to a wide public. Marking the centenary of Piper's birth in 1903, this book dramatically uncovers the various shifts in his early career while working largely on the south coast of England, fron a lyrical, painterly style and lively use of collage, inspired by Picasso and Braque, into pure abastraction, in keeping with International Modernism. The second half of hte 1930s saw the order and harmony of Piper's work unsettled by the onset of war, and with it a return to representation in an attempt to find a contemporary idiom with which to express his romantic love of the past. The tension between abstraction and realism in Piper's work of the period is engagingly told and stunningly illustrated in this, the first in-depth expoloration of hte artist's formative years." 0809N0100J Art more information

From the book: "Indian Natya is the most complete dance-form existing today. It is the expression in lyric movement of an inspirational, philosophic religion. Its birth is beyond the portals of time, and it is ageless. It is for this reason that I, who am an ardent admirer of all racial dance- expressions, and perforce especially of Hindu Natya, came to the conclusion that the best way to introduce this art to the alien is to present and to explain its most outstanding technical characteristic, hastabhinaya, and its several best-known and most typical forms. I have selected teh Kathakali form, which is the great dance-drama of South India, the tandava dance of men. I have selected the Sadir Nautch of South India, the lasya dance which inspired the bas-reliefs of Chidambaram. I have selected the Kathak dance of North India, with its strong Mohammedan influence." 1008N0100A8 Signed: I Signed by Author more information
