CHORAL RESOURCESWORLdS OF JOHAnn SEBASTIAn BACHby Raymond EricksonAmadeus PressWorlds of J.S. Bach offers both traditional and new perspectives on the life and work of the man who is arguably the central figure in the Western musical tradition. It appears at a time when, because of the fall of the Iron Curtain, extraor-dinary new discoveries are being made about

Bach and his family at an increasing rate – thus this book is able to incorporate important information and images not available even in the recent anniversary year of 2000.

After making the case for the universality of Bach’s art as an epitome of Western civilization, Worlds of J.S. Bach considers in broad terms the composer’s social, political, and artistic environment, its influ-ence on him, and his interaction with it. Renowned specialists in history, religion, architecture, literature, theater, and dance offer the perspectives of these disciplines as they relate to Bach’s milieu, while leading Bach specialists from both the U.S. and Germany focus on the man himself. The book is an outgrowth of the “celebrated” (Boston Globe) multidisciplinary Academies sponsored by the Aston Magna Foundation for Music and the Humanities with support from the National Endowment for the Humanities.

• Makes accessible in English much recent German-language scholar-ship on Bach

• Incorporates the latest important discoveries concerning Bach, including, with illustrations, an unknown aria and the oldest known autograph manuscript by the composer at age 15

• Contains biographical information not found in any of the standard reference works and other biographies

• Over 200 black-and-white and color illustrations with detailed cap-tions both support and extend the content of the essays

CHORAL FOLk SOngS FROM SOUTH AFRICA(Collection)Introductory Notes and English Lyrics by Pete SeegerEdited by Robert DeCormierSchirmerThese songs first became known in the U.S. when Pete Seeger and a group of New York City teenag-ers, called the Song Swappers, recorded some of

them for Folkways Records in 1955. (One of the Song Swappers was Mary Travers, who later became “Mary” of Peter, Paul and Mary.) In 1960 G. Schirmer published a collection of the songs, which made it possible for choral directors and song directors to introduce their singers to this music. Long out of print, the collection has now been reissued with several new songs included. The music can be adapted and used with young children, as well as high school and adult singers.
