Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - DAVID W. BARBER, WHO HAS DELIGHTED READERS all around the world with Bach, Beethoven and the Boys, Accidentals on Purpose, Getting a Handel on Messiah and other internationally bestselling books of classical musical humor, takes a more serious turn with his first extended foray into fiction - the collection Atonement and Other Stories. In this collection of 13 short stories - call them a Barber's dozen - the first eight cover a wide range of topics and time periods.They span from the early formation of our planet to first-century Palestine to the Second World War to the present day and beyond. Their topics and situations range from theology to political intrigue (both historical and modern) to the vagaries of marital infidelity, fortune and fame. Neither science fiction nor fantasy - though science and the fantastical sometimes play a role in these various cautionary tales - these stories are what readers might consider 'speculative fiction.' Each story in some way asks the question 'What if 'The title story, Atonement, asks what if an unknown politician arose to counter the devastation of Trumpism In Not So Wonderful, what if a loathsome rich man woke one day to find himself poor In Project Habakkuk (based on true events), what if a giant iceberg battleship could help defeat Hitler and hasten the end of WW2 In Terminal Velocity, what if you suddenly woke up and found yourself falling from an airplane at 10,000 feet In Suffer Little Children, what if a Boston Catholic with firsthand knowledge of the church's shameful sex abuse became Pope and decided to finally do something about it In Joseph, what if the father of Jesus wanted to tell his side of the story These and other questions are the inspiration for Barber's inventive fiction. The other five stories that round out the collection are Barber's own original Sherlock Holmes stories. Four have been published previously as The Adventure of the Sunken Parsley and Other Stories of Sherlock Holmes. But the fifth, The Case of the Solitary Canary, is a brand-new story that draws Sherlock Holmes into Barber's extensive knowledge of classical music in general and of Handel's Messiah in particular.…

Zustand: Hervorragend. Zustand: Hervorragend | Sprache: Englisch | Produktart: Bücher | Chances are you've probably heard Handel's Messiah at least once, if not many times. Maybe you've even performed it, as have countless musicians around the world. After all, it's probably one of the best-loved, and certainly one of the best-known, musical works in the standard repertoire. But if you thought you knew all there was to know about the great composer's famous oratorio, think again. For example, it may surprise you to learn that: ¿ Handel's first impulse to compose the work came not from religious or even musical inspiration. It had a whole lot more to do with money. ¿ The first performance of Messiah took place not in London but in Dublin - and not with a huge choir and orchestra but with only a relative handful of musicians. ¿ Although church groups and clergy members now praise Messiah as a fine example of religious music at its best, Handel had to disguise his oratorio for its first performance in London in order to sneak it past the church authorities. ¿ The Hallelujah chorus wasn't originally called that at all, but had a different name. ¿ Although Handel was proud of Messiah, he didn't think it was his best work. His favorite oratorio is one hardly anyone has ever heard of, much less heard. All these and many more entertaining (and entirely true!) facts await your discovery as internationally bestselling author David W. Barber takes you on another delightful romp through the pages of music history - as it ought to be taught. …
