The Registration of Baroque Organ Music

Book Description

". . . Barbara Owen has succeeded admirably in distilling three centuries of organ registration practice into a volume less than three hundred pages long. . . . Anyone with an interest in the history of the organ and its music . . . will not want to ignore this book." --Sixteenth Century Journal

"It is rare to find a book that combines such careful scholarship with a practical focus that makes it accessible to performing musicians as well as research specialists."--Notes

"An excellent volume from historical, musical style and interpretive standpoints. Highly recommended for all large academic and professional music collections."-- Choice

Barbara Owen has prepared the first work to present in a single book the registrational practices of organists from c.1550 to 1800. The four parts of the book move from the Renaissance through the Early, High, and Late Baroque. Each part starts with a brief description of the political and religious climate of the period and the way such factors affected the compositions and the organ-building of the time.

Great Practical Guide with Historical Background.......2005-10-18

Barbara Owen succeeds in condensing more than 200 years of registration practice in a working volume. The book is organized by time period and nationality, allowing the reader to assimilate the trends of each of the organ "schools." Each chapter is prefaced by a list of the relevant composers, as well as stop lists of representative organs. Perhaps Owen's signal accomplishment is a combination of historical awareness with the practical needs of the performance. For instance, after giving the background on the Italian voce umana stop, she suggests that one can replicate the sound on a mechanical action organ by coupling two 8' principals, with one detuned (half drawn). Overall, a practical reference for the performance of 16th, 17th, and 18th-century organ music.

I LOVE THIS BOOK!!!.......2007-08-13

I love it, I love it, I love it! From the very first page, I was hooked. This explains the reframing technique spawned by Virginia Satir and later tweaked by Richard Bandler and John Grinder. This book is great for NLP-lovers as well as regular people who want to learn how to phrase things correctly to allow others to see things DIFFERENTLY in life.

For instance: "This hotel is a dump and there's dust everywhere and paint chipped off the wall," can be reframed to be, "This hotel is a historical antique and it's been left the way it was a hundred years ago, isn't that amazing?"

Also, this explains how people miscommunicate based on interpretations of tonality. For instance, "Oh it's you again." If the emphasis is on the word "again" then people assume it's a negative statement. However, there's absolutely nothing that implies it being negative at all and can be a very positive statement when stated the same way.

Chapter two talks about "negotiating parts" that conflict and how to bring them together. Some people call it parts integration. This explains in detail how to fit it all together. For instance, "A part of me wants to do this, and a part of me wants to do that." This explains how to comfortably decide what needs to be done.

Reframing on page 14 -
Before: "I feel terrible because my boss always criticizes me."
Reframe: "He must really notice the work you do, and like you enough to want to help you improve it."

This book is REALLY a keeper. I love this book probably better than all my current NLP and hypnosis books.

5*****.......2004-04-12

Strengths:practical skills and results can be gained from this book.You can apply reframing in many areas of your life and save money for therapy sessions.

Weaknesses:for some people reading long transcripts (describing the action)may not be suitable. It can be boring,then your brain has no desire in continuing the reading.

However if you have found some specific areas you can benefits,you may want to read this book.

I'm glad I bought this book. hope it improves your life too.

Warning: Don't attempt to learn from book; buy my workshop!.......2004-01-27

More "great communications" form the obfuscators of N L P. If you've shelled out for the workshops, the book may be useful. If all the other NLP workshop-transcription books were helpful to you, may be this one will be. If not... not.

Good luck!

I'll admit.....i didn't use this one right. kinda tough........2002-09-23

I could never master this book. I really just liked reading it because of the procedure. I used it in conversational settings to make myself look smart. Yet i never solved any problems...even my own. I['ve given up on NLP cause of my inability to INTERPRET the meanings given to each NLP thought or action.... i was never able to really get it. So i just used this as a way to let time pass in the laundromat. I tried using it for sales, but i could never get into it with the energy necessary. be well.

Still relevant and a gold mine........2002-04-02

A careful reading of this book will unearth a wealth of information, not only about remedial and generative models developed in early NLP, but also how and why models were designed as they were to begin with. If one keeps that in mind, as well as the primary presupposition (map/territory), there will be no vast discrepancy between old and new NLP, nor even DHE. You can see the roots right here. The authors themselves make a point in saying that the Six Step Reframing pattern, for instance, was only structured the way it was as a teaching tool, and that it should be forgotten once it was integrated with other communication processes. The Parts metaphor, they say, is only a one of a number of ways of mapping "as if," perhaps only a way of "chunking" behavior. Bandler is cleverer than everybody thinks: if he doesn't use parts as a metaphor, then what are all the "machines" he's talking about? What about the spacial/visual representations of decision making strategies, et al? Aren't they essentially the same thing? The problem is people tend to forget that these are not actuallities but only useful ways of talking.

This book takes the simpler version of reframing from "Frogs" and really opens it up, describes how it can be used in conjunction with anchoring and linguistic patterns, until it begins to disintegrate as a specific and separate model and becomes a direction.

Book Description

There has been a notable upsurge of interest in the body in empirical and theoretical study and debate. Contributions to this book move these debates forward by considering a range of bodies as active in their own construction in social and economic processes. The authors consider the body as a site of agency, resistance, and compromise and reflect upon the reluctance of sociology to engage with the body and notions of embodiment.

Book Description

Reframing Disease Contextually will be of particular interest to philosophers of medicine, bioethicists, and philosophers. It may also be of value to medical professionals, historians of western medicine, and health policy makers who take interest in the conceptual foundations of medicine.

This book:
- provides an overview of key debates in the history of modern western medicine on the nature, knowledge, and value of disease;
- illustrates how these debates relate;
- provides a "contextual" or "localized" way of understanding disease;
- includes case studies of e.g. AIDS, genetic disease, and gendered disease;
- conveys the importance of the intersection and interrelation between and among factors that make up disease;
- illustrates how bioethical discussions about disease naming, classification, diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment are part of a much greater discussion in philosophy of medicine.

Great inspirations from short real life stories........2004-02-13

Dr. Reva Camiel has composed a jewel of a book here for self reflection and growth. It is not one of those new age boring pop psychology books that gather dust either. It is very entertaining and the stories can be read in a few minutes each in any sequence. I feel there is a particular story for most of us that may help you get things in perspective by reading how other real people overcame great adversities in their lives then transformed those challenges into wisdom, strenght and happiness.

Another very nice part of this book is that Reva being in her 70's has much experience in life as a woman who has lived through those sexist times and came out very liberated but not angry or bitter. The characters in her book (of all ages) many of which are still living have played big parts in her own emotional and spiritual growth. This is not a senior last day's reflection depressing book but a very uplifting tool for happiness, hope and inspiration for people of all ages.

After each story she includes a page or two of self insightful questions so if that story effected you in a certain way you can do a little writing for your own self growth.

This book will stay in my small but effective book collection. A good book I can grab to read at a day on the beach or while traveling as the paperback version is a good convenient size too.

Book Description

"I don't make culture, I sell it" Dick Clark once remarked. Indeed, the man who reigned as host of American Bandstand for nearly four decades may not have invented rock 'n' roll, but he sold it to the American public better than anyone before or since. Before Clark, rock 'n' roll was the step child of radio--which took to playing records as a cost-saving measure after television siphoned off radios most lucrative sponsors. But it was network television--and specifically Clarks Bandstand--that ultimately legitimized what was then viewed by most adults as vulgar, low-class music, broadcasting a sanitized vision of rock 'n' roll straight into Americas living rooms five afternoons a week. Here is the first book to tell the full story of what happened in front of--and behind--the cameras on Dick Clark's American Bandstand, providing both a history of this landmark show and of the changing styles of rock 'n' roll over four decades. Based on extensive interviews with music business figures, recording stars, and Clark himself, and featuring dozens of rare or never before published photographs, this is a riveting and uncensored account of a show that managed to survive countless revolutions in popular music. Jackson describes Bandstands humble beginnings in Philadelphias blue collar south side, the sex scandal that scuttled the first host of Bandstand and enabled Clark to launch his career, the glory days when an appearance on Bandstand was one of the most prized gigs in the music business and when teenagers lined up for blocks hoping to enter the studio, and memorable Bandstand appearances by rock 'n' roll royalty from Chubby Checker and Frankie Avalon, to Jerry Lee Lewis and Jefferson Airplane, to Pink Floyd and Madonna. Here as well is a candid look at the backstage financial maneuvering that allowed Clark to launch a video and entertainment empire worth nearly $200 million dollars today. Voted Most Likely To Sell The Brooklyn Bridge by his high school classmates, Clark emerges as a cunning business impresario determined to make millions. Readers learn how Clark decided which eager young singers would appear on the show, how he managed to survive a 1959 Congressional payola investigation that destroyed the careers of many other popular disc jockeys, how much money he earned from his personal financial investments in many of the songs played on Bandstand, and his importance to ABC in its fledgling days as a national television network. As entertaining as it is eye-opening, Dick Clark's American Bandstand will bring back a flood of memories to everyone who lived through that era. It will fascinate everyone interested in popular American culture or in rock 'n' roll history.

The definitive historical and critical study of Bandstand.......2006-05-14

Jackson's book is published by a top-flight academic press, and that should warn off readers hoping for a snappy, picture-laden bit of nostalgic hagiography (for that, see Dick Clark's own book, coauthored with Fred Bronson, replete with pictures and even, as the cover declares, a "Nifty Dance Poster Inside!"). What Jackson gives us is a deeply researched, thoughtful, and judicious history of the show and its implications. There are numerous divergences from common wisdom here-- most notable is Jackson's read on the so-called "integration" of Bandstand, which he treats with nuance and sophistication. References to obscure tunes and performers indicate that Jackson is surely one of those legendary record-collector enthusiasts; it shows in his footnotes but not, blessedly, in the text itself. Instead, the book gives us a closely observed history of the pop music business and one of its most important institutions.

A Must Read For Any Oldies Fan.......2001-07-05

This is the ultimate book on one of the early major Rock n Roll shows. Every detail you could possibly want to know about American Bandstand is in here. From the early days in Philadelphia, to the Dick Clark payola scandal, to the move to California, this book covers it. It also discuss the discrimination that existed, and how the regulars became celebrities. I really enjoyed and would recomend it to any fan of the fifties and sixties

DUH! I know Dick hosted AB many years ago!.......2000-11-15

I don't even watch "American Bandstand," and I know nothing about Dick Clark except:

1. That he hosted the show,

2. That 's also notorious for his "Pyramid" duo, which had been short-lived but is till aired here in New York,

3. And that on every New Years' Eve, he comes to New York to do I-bet-you-know-what.

Musical "Philadelphia Story" Retold in "Bandstand" Bio.......2000-10-07

In his history of Dick Clark and "American Bandstand," John Jackson had his choice of several stories. He could tell of Clark's ascension to the "Bandstand" podium at a strategic time, hooking Clark, his host network (ABC), and host city (Philadelphia) to pop culture prominence. Jackson could chronicle the city's fast-moving music scene, the teen singers, disc jockeys, and businessmen (Clark among them) who exploited the new music. Finally, he could tell the show's own 32-year story, as "Bandstand" led, followed, then rehashed youth culture.

Despite factual errors (putting "All You Need Is Love" on "Sgt. Pepper" shows as much Beatle knowledge as Jackson claimed Clark had) and unneeded 60s-70s rehash, Jackson's biography adddresses its subjects accurately and engagingly. Jackson sees Clark not as money-grubbing villain but driven, opportunistic businessman who "within the bounds of propriety - followed the dollar wherever it took him."

Clark fought to cult!ivate, keep, and wield a pleasant national image to his advantage. Jackson succeeds most in showing how that image served, even saved Clark's career. Clark's soft-spoken, "nice guy" image eased the transition from the scandalous, tragic tenure of original "Bandstand" host Bob Horn. It softened and widened (some said, despite Clark's objections, "whitened") rock and roll's ease into daily life and the youth buying power enjoining it. Mostly, it masked the clear-eyed, hard-charging figure who not only stood up to federal regulators and network bosses, but parlayed his "Bandstand" success into music-related (torn by 1959-60's "payola" scandal, covered in depth here despite little Clark participation), then rebuilt into complete media-based success.

Fans of early rock will enjoy Jackson's musical side trips. He looks at the "Bandstand" dancers' quick fame, the synergy and rivalry between the show, Philadelphia promoters, and disc jockeys, the rise of small record labels whi!ch (with Clark's involvement throughout) recorded national hits (Jackson tells fresh versions of the making of "At The Hop" and "The Twist"), and, finally, Clark's move to California which closed Philly music dominance (and, to believe Jackson, did little for "Bandstand," either). Figures like musician Charlie Gracie, producer Tony Mammarella, and songwriters Kal Mann and Bernie Lowe, today unknown outside Philadelphia music, are remembered either as villain or victim. The last chapters, describing Clark's adjusting the "Bandstand" image to changing musical times, are among the book's most intriguing.

The result makes "American Bandstand" unflinching, unfawning yet high-minded critique that Clark, generally no friend of critics, could support. The epilogue essays Clark's motivations, how he achieved and maintained fame and riches yet still promotes, produces, and hosts. Jackson concludes that it's what Clark enjoys doing and does best. That, and the dearth of harsh word!s for Clark by anyone in the book, makes this an incisive, fun read for pop culture fans.

Tough to get through.......1999-12-28

This is a very tough book to read as the author seems only to list endless, meaningless, facts without organizing them in to an interesting narrative. The role American Bandstand and Dick Clark played in the early days of television and rock 'n roll is a very interesting story. Unfortuneately this book fails to tell it an enjoyable way. Also, the author seems to have an unjustified vendetta against Clark.
