Woman in Music Laney Goodman

Ever since she was a small child, Helma Swan, the daughter of a Northwest Coast chief, loved and learned the music of her people. As an adult she began to sing, even though traditionally Makah singers had been men. How did such a situation develop? In her own words, Helma Swan tells the unusual story of her life, her music, and how she became a singer. An excellent storyteller, she speaks of both musical and nonmusical activities and events. In addition to discussing song ownership and other Makah musical concepts, she describes songs, dances, and potlatch ceremonies; proper care of masks and costumes; and changing views of Native music education. More generally, she speaks of cultural changes that have had profound effects on contemporary Makah life. Drawing on more than twenty years of research and oral history interviews, Linda J. Goodman in Singing the Songs of My Ancestors presents a somewhat different point of view -- that of the anthropologist/ethnomusicologist interested in Makah culture and history as well as the changing musical and ceremonial roles of Makah men and women. Her information provides a context for Helma Swan's stories and songs. Taken together, the two perspectives allow the reader to embark on a vivid and absorbing journey through Makah life, music, and ceremony spanning most of the twentieth century. Studies of American Indian women musicians are rare; this is the first to focus on a Northwest Coast woman who is an outstanding singer and storyteller as well as a conservator of her tribe's cultural traditions.

Words About Music is an enchanting, lively, and delightfully varied anthology of writings about music - musicians, music critics, music-lovers, music-haters, musical performances, musical instruments, and musical history - by over five hundred celebrated figures, including George Gershwin, P.J. Wodehouse, Lenin, Richard Wagner, and George Sand. The selections of anecdotes, prose, poetry, criticism, letters, and memoirs gathered here range from a few lines to a few pages and are linked irregularly by entertaining informal comments and explanatory asides from the editors. Compiled by Michael Rose, editor of The New Grove, and John Amis of the BBC, this treasury of writings takes us from the hilarious and outrageous to the metaphysical and deeply moving, from the beloved and familiar to the unexpected and wonderfully surprising. Here is Madame Bovary's unforgettable night at the opera, Shaw's pleading with the authorities at Covent Garden to protect him from a woman who wore on her head "the pitiable corpse of a large white bird" - her hat; Nietzche's complaint that listening to Wagner annoys his feet, upsets his stomach, saddens his bowels, and inflames his throat; Rossini's observation, "How wonderful opera would be if there were no singers"; and Franklin Roosevelt's confession, "It got to the point where I had to get a haircut or a violin". A wonderfully idiosyncratic, unique collection, Words About Music never ceases to delight. As the Observer has praised, "Words About Music is enormous fun. Amis and Rose have a fine selective eye for wit and wisdom".

Latin music in the United States - Latin music has long influenced American popular music, jazz, rhythm and blues,rock and even country music. For an early example (1914), the bridge to "Saint Louis Blues"--"Saint Louie woman, with her diamond rings"--has a habanera beat, prompting Jelly Roll Morton to comment, "You've got to have that Spanish tinge.

Music of Bulgaria - Bulgarian music is part of the Balkan tradition, which stretches across Southeastern Europe, and has its own distinctive sound. Traditional Bulgarian music has had more international success than its neighbors due to the breakout international success of Le Mystère des Voix Bulgares, a woman's choir that has topped world music charts across Europe and even farther abroad.
