WHAT EVERY PIANIST NEEDS TO KNOW ABOUT THE BODY

WITH SUPPLEMENTAL MATERIAL FOR ORGANISTS

BY ROBERTA GRAY AND THOM MILES

Thomas Mark What Every Pianist Needs to Know about the Body is a book about how we move our bodies to play the piano. Author Thomas Mark takes a close look at the specific needs of players of keyboard instruments, whether piano, organ, harpsichord, or digital keyboard and using the concept of Body Mapping developed by Barbara Conable and William Conable, he presents anatomical facts, detailed illustrations, and excellent commentary. This information can bring about improved body awareness, a better quality of movement, and better, freer playing from each musician.

Organists Roberta Gary and Thom Miles have contributed sections addressing the special needs of organists, concentrating on the use of the feet, legs, and hips as well as the arms and hands. Thus, the book is as much for organists as it is for pianists.

CHANT DISCOVERING CHANT

TEACHING MUSICIANSHIP AND HUMAN SENSIBILITIES THROUGH CHANT

James Jordan and James Whitbourn with Dominic Gregorio and Steven Pilkington Discovering Chant asks conductors, teachers, and music educators to reconsider the use of plainchant as an essential pedagogy for teaching intonation, phrasing, and understanding of musical line—while building community within an ensemble. The pedagogy was borne out of the Westminster Choral Institute at Oxford, where chant has become a part of the daily regimen of the Grammy-nominated Westminster Williamson Voices.

The companion volume to this text, Laudate, is a collection of chants presented so all musicians—not only liturgists or specialist singers—can explore a repertory so rich and extraordinary that it has dominated and influenced musical composition for centuries, even to the present day.

Judith M. Kubicki Judith Kubicki’s analysis of over 50 hymns will help you bring texts to life and renew the importance and vitality of hymn singing for your assembly.

SING WITH UNDERSTANDING— SECOND EDITION

AN INTRODUCTION TO CHRISTIAN HYMNOLOGY

Harry Eskew and Hugh T. McElrath Sing with Understanding promotes more meaningful congregational singing of hymns. Its primary use is as a textbook for college and seminary classes in hymnology and related areas. This revised edition has provided the opportunity to update the bibliography. Because of the large number of new publications in hymnology, the bibliography is selective rather than comprehensive. In addition to updating each of the original chapters, this edition concludes with an epilogue that focuses on trends and issues in hymnody in the 1980's and 1990's, especially in Britain and America. Another significant change is the expansion to reference hymns from five major recent hymnals. This provides a broader coverage of song available to American congregations in the closing decade of the twentieth century.

THEMES AND VARIATIONS

MUSIC AND IMAGINATION

Don Saliers Originally written as a series of columns for The American Organist magazine, Themes and Variations is a collection of reflections for music-lovers as well as music-makers.

With each essay, theologian and musician Don Saliers embraces the connection between musical passages and life passages, exploring “the powerful way in which music explores a double journey into the depths of humanity and the mystery of the divine.”

These seventy-plus reflections, filled with personal stories and thoughtful insights, make an excellent basis for conversations about music in churches, in classrooms, or among friends.
