Trace

by Ho, Jeff
No customer reviews yet ISBN 9780369100566

Great-grandmother fled the Japanese during World War II by escaping China into Hong Kong, a traumatic effect that's rippled down the family line. Grandmother married into the family after a childhood of poverty that will always stay with her. Mother decided to leave Hong Kong for Canada with her two sons, pursuing more opportunities, though
dissatisfied with her son's desire to focus on the piano rather than math. Though pain is a constant, there are plenty of wisecracks, games of Mahjong, and familiar family anecdotes swirling through Ho's genealogical journey of survival.

When Words Sing: Seven Canadian Libretti
<p>Meet the creators behind the words of Canadian opera in this exciting new collection of contemporary libretti. Featuring <em>Ours</em> by Robert Chafe, <em>Rocking Horse Winner</em> by Anna Chatterton, <em>Beatrice Chancy</em> by George Eilliott Clarke, <em>Missing</em> by Marie Clements, <em>Nigredo Hotel</em> by Ann-Marie MacDonald, <em>Shelter</em> by Julie Salverson, and <em>Dog Days</em> by Royce Vavrek, <em>When Words Sing</em> turns the spotlight on everything that goes into writing libretti, and answering frequently asked questions along the way.</p> <p>Through supplementary interviews, essays, and illustrations, the book will examine the role of the librettist&#x3b; how a libretto can inspire a composer, director, and designer&#x3b; and how the relationship between words, music, sound, and design coalesces into an ageless theatrical form.</p>
