Its first page was written in the 1940s and its final page in 2005. By evaluating other orchestration texts throughout his life, Brant realized that many were incomplete, in that they gave instructions based on “hoped-for evocations of mystic visions” rather than the actual, practical qualities of instruments. “Textures and Timbres” focuses on the study of acoustic instrumental tone qualities, offering comprehensive systematic procedures for balancing and mixing them, both in harmonic and linear contexts. The lessons and inspiration shared in this text span Brant’s entire career, from his work in commercial radio to his orchestration classes at the Juilliard School and orchestrations of numerous Hollywood film scores. 10075641 Paperback Book . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .39.95 Bruford, Bill BILL BRUFORD - THE AUTOBIOGRAPHY Jawbone Press (Berkeley, CA, 2009) Bill Bruford, once called “The Godfather” of progressive rock, has been at the top of his profession for four decades, playing with “Yes,” “King Crimson,” “Genesis,” “Earthworks” and many more.

Leigh H. Edwards explores the allure of this paradoxical image and its cultural significance. She argues that Cash embodies irresolvable contradictions of American identity that reflect foundational issues in the American experience, such as the tensions between freedom and patriotism, individual rights and nationalism, the sacred and the profane. She illustrates how this model of ambivalence is a vital paradigm for American popular music, and for American identity in general. Making use of sources such as Cash’s autobiographies, lyrics, music, liner notes, and interviews, Edwards pays equal attention to depictions of Cash by others, such as Vivian Cash’s publication of his letters to her, documentaries and music journalism about him, “Walk the Line,” and fan club materials found in the archives at the Country Music Foundation in Nashville, to create a complete, albeit fragmented, portrait of Cash and his significance as a cultural icon.
