A cultural critic of extraordinary erudition, encyclopedic knowledge, and boundless curiosity, Ilan Stavans, an Ashkenazic Jew who grew up in Mexico, negotiates wildly varied topics as effortlessly and deftly as he manages the multiple perspectives of a dual national, religious, and ethnic identity.
In Singer’s Typewriter and Mine, a follow-up to The Inveterate Dreamer (Nebraska, 2001), Stavans interweaves his own experience with that of other Jewish writers and thinkers, past and present, to explore modern Jewish culture across the boundaries of language and nation. Juxtaposing the personal and the analytical, these essays and conversations take up the oeuvres of Isaac Bashevis Singer and Mario Vargas Llosa, translation and God’s language, storytelling as midrash, anti-Semitism in Hispanic America, Yiddish and Sephardic literatures, the connection between humor and terror, impostors as cultural agents, the creators of the King James Bible, and the encounter between Jewish and Latino civilizations, to name but a few of Stavans’s topics here. Funny, engaging, and provocative, this collection continues Stavans’s project of opening new vistas in our cross-cultural understanding of language, literature, and life.

This study focuses on the Chronicler's special interest in Levite singers. It takes into consideration the socio-ideological milieu of the Jerusalem temple community in the Persian period and the Mesopotamian elite professional norms and practices that nourished the singers and their music. It also explores the conception of the earthly temple as representative of its heavenly counterpart, and looks at the way in which this shaped the Chronicler's theological frame of reference.
The work is divided into two parts. Part I examines the Mesopotamian scribal-musical background, to which Ko attributes the rise of music in Chronicles. Part II considers the Chronicler's ideological perspective, the language of the temple and the educational, scribal, and liturgical services of Levite singers. By focusing on the characterisation of the Levite singers in the light of their Mesopotamian counterparts, Ko shows how they sought to foster cosmic stability according to the terms of the Davidic covenant.

"Singing An Extensive Handbook for All Singers and Their Teachers," has been written for anybody who is interested in singing, particularly those who teach it. It also contains information which will be useful to instrumental teachers. It is designed to help all teachers to improve the aural and technical singing skills of their students, even if they are not first-study singers. Singing, after all, is at the heart of all aural work and musicianship.
There is much in this book to assist conductors of choral societies, music directors, and indeed anyone who works with singers, of whatever age and in whatever musical style. Moreover, singers who have progressed beyond a basic level will gain by using this book as a companion for their on-going development.
There is a simplified outline of the basics of singing in "The Fast Track" section. This will help you to become acquainted with the general principles which are treated in more detail in the other sections.
The book is structured so that the section "The Essential Anatomy" underpins those on "Training the Singing Voice", "Making Music" and "Performance". The nature of the anatomy section means that there is a lot of information presented, which could be difficult to assimilate all at once. Please think of it as a reference section, which can be either read all at once, or dipped into as required, so that the broader picture emerges over time.
"The Developing Voice" section is especially relevant for teachers training young adolescents through those years of marked vocal change. The "Making Music" section shows how to put the anatomy and training all together to prepare for a performance. This section also contains advice on choice of repertoire and how to build different styles of repertoire into the voice.
In the "Performance" and "The Psychology of Singing" sections you will find advice on the many small steps which lead to a successful performance, bringing motivation, healthy practice and personal fulfilment together to create a fuller picture.
General advice on understanding the root causes of vocal difficulties is given in the section on "Troubleshooting", along with some methods of resolving them. More detailed exercises to resolve difficulties are to be found in "Training the Singing Voice".
The broader issues of musicianship are covered in the section "Practical Singing for all Musicians", such as the role of examinations, aural training and the benefit of working in groups. The "Further Development" section offers advice on how to take singing into a more advanced field of study or performance.
Above all, the intention of this book is to present singing as a pleasurable activity, which, at its best, combines the physical, creative and emotional aspects of human expression.
