MESSIAEN<br />
Shawnee Press (Chester, NY, <strong>2009</strong>)<br />
The author (1932-2000) was a lecturer at Oxford, a<br />
composer, and a pianist who recorded a number of<br />
Messiaen’s works and gave the UK premiere of one of<br />
his pieces. This edition has been updated by Dr.<br />
Caroline Rae to include works composed by Messiaen<br />
between 1989 and his death in 1992. This<br />
comprehensive guide to Messiaen’s music will be<br />
invaluable to students and connoisseurs of Messiaen.<br />
Numerous musical examples, a chronological list of<br />
works, a bibliography and a list of bird names are<br />
included in this edition. This volume is not a<br />
biography of the man, but rather an in-depth study of<br />
his music, newly revised to celebrate the centenary of<br />
Messiaen’s birth. 248 p.<br />

FOLK MUSIC IN BARTOK’S<br />
COMPOSITIONS<br />
G. Henle Verlag (Munich, Germany, <strong>2009</strong>)<br />
Folksong arrangements hold a significant place in Bela<br />
Bartok’s oeuvre. More than a third of his compositions<br />
are folksong arrangements or contain movements built<br />
on folk music material. Moreover, the genre is not<br />
confined to certain style periods, it is present<br />
throughout Bartok’s career. This catalog brings<br />
together all the folk melodies that appear in Bartok’s<br />
compositions. They were selected from the documents<br />
of his ethnomusicological work, from the music books<br />
used in his collecting trips, from the master sheets<br />
containing his notations from phonograph recordings,<br />
and from his published collections. All the data<br />
pertaining to the original performances of the<br />
melodies including the singers’ or performers’ name,<br />
age, the place and time the song or instrumental piece<br />
was recorded can be found in the commentaries<br />
accompanying the melodies in the catalog. The<br />
accompanying CD contains all available surviving<br />
original recordings of the melodies. Hardcover, 242 p.<br />

THE SPIRIT OF A GENERATION<br />
Celebrating the 40th Anniversary of the<br />
Woodstock Festival<br />
Backbeat Books (<strong>New</strong> York, NY, <strong>2009</strong>)<br />
In the turbulent sixties, the Woodstock Festival and<br />
the Generation that came from that event were a<br />
manifestation of the desire to create a free, loving and<br />
just world. Elliott Landy has his finger on the pulse of<br />
the Woodstock generation. He was there before the<br />
famous festival, hanging out with Dylan and “The<br />
Band,” was the photographer of record at the festival<br />
itself, and still lives in Woodstock today. In this edition<br />
of “Woodstock Vision,” Landy captures and preserves<br />
the true vision and pure essence of the festival - what<br />
it was like to be part of the sixties, sharing the spirit of<br />
unlimited hope, optimism, and belief that the world<br />
can be made better through peace and love. The book<br />
affectionately chronicles what it was like to be at the<br />
Woodstock Festival and to be a part of the spirit of its<br />
generation. Hardcover, 224 p.<br />

GETTING GREAT SOUNDS:<br />
THE MICROPHONE BOOK<br />
Course Technology PTR (Milwaukee, WI, <strong>2009</strong>)<br />
How to choose and use microphones was once a skill<br />
passed down from senior sound engineers to their<br />
assistants as they would listen and learn by<br />
observation. Today, few large studios have assistant<br />
engineers, and an overwhelming number of studios<br />
are operated by their owners who are self-taught and<br />
<strong>New</strong><br />
do not have the benefit of the big studio tutelage.<br />
“Getting Great Sounds: The Microphone Book”<br />
imparts these microphone tips and tricks of the pros<br />
to make them available to any sound engineer or<br />
home studio enthusiast. It explains aspects of all<br />
kinds of microphones, how they work, and how to<br />
use them in session recording. The conversational<br />
narrative style presents technical aspects in an easyto-understand,<br />
humorous fashion, based on the reallife<br />
experiences of its author, a well-known recording<br />
engineer. Paper, 308 p.<br />
