This book explores the diverse styles of the blues. From the mutual influence between African cultures and those of the West, right through to the seamless transition from rhythm and blues to rock and roll, the book traces the evolution of blues styles from their origins up to around the 1970s. The central question is how these styles emerged and how they developed. All the supposed truths of the present are compared with those of the past in order to get a little closer to reality. This book compares the facts of that era with the status quo of today. In doing so, it also gets to the bottom of myths, such as that of the legendary Robert Johnson. All too often, a plausible, practical and economic explanation lurks behind the stories.

Complete Songs (High Voice): Sheet
Numbering more than 100 in total, and composed across a 60-year period, Gabriel Fauré's songs form the single most influential contribution to the field of French art song. Despite their importance, the songs have long been riddled with misprints and inconsistencies. This first complete critical edition is based on study of hundreds of manuscript and printed sources, along with evidence and interpretative advice from artists who worked with Fauré. Above all, it is a practical edition, informed by extensive work with musicians in performances, masterclasses and workshops. <p/>This second volume comprises the songs of Fauré's creative maturity, including popular favourites (Les Roses d'Ispahan, Clair de lune) alongside some lesser-known gems, together with his three vocal duets and the delightful four-voice Madrigal. Version for High Voice.
