Sing out! With a stunning, graphic style and a melodious text, this picture book tells the story of Latin American icon Mercedes Sosa and how she became the voice of a people from exile to triumph. What if a voice became a symbol of justice? I’m here to offer my heart, said that voice. The folk rhythm of the bombo drum beats like a heart, with a resonant voice singing the truth of her people. Mercedes Sosa sang about what it means to be human, and her songs of struggle always spoke the truth of the injustice that so many workers and families in Latin America faced. As a teen, she won a local radio contest, and as her confidence grew, so did her fame. From a folk festival to Carnegie Hall and the Sistine Chapel, Mercedes performed the world over, sharing stories through song. But not everyone loved her singing: a military dictatorship ruled over Argentina, and they saw the power of her voice. Even from exile, Mercedes Sosa was a beacon of freedom for her people, and when she returned to her homeland, she persisted in her work: to be the voice of the voiceless. Adding a personal touch as a fellow Argentinean, Melisa Fernández Nitsche fills her debut picture book with bright and breathtaking illustrations that will surely inspire and empower young readers as they read about the impact one person's voice can have.

It all began with a rumor: an Indian girl who sang with the voice of an angel. A tiny girl, perhaps only nine years old. No one believed it at first, but the rumor persisted. Finally one day a runner arrived bringing news... And so the journey of the woman and the girl--Sister Mãe da Doçura and Yema, the Caeté Indian child acclaimed as The Cantora--begins to unfold as perilous circumstance compels them to become agents of fate, changing the destinies of all who cross their path.The setting for The Cantora is coastal Brazil during the early 1500s, in the colonial town of Luís, a shipping port for the brutal and lucrative dyewood trade. Many Indians and Africans are enslaved at the port, and the Indians, afflicted with European diseases, are perishing by the hundreds.A village priest discovers an Indian child with a magical voice, and he allows her to sing the Latin Mass. The regional bishop assigns the girl to Sister Doçura with the intention of making the child singer a ward of the Church. The child is also treasured by her tribe as a mystical Tuguy Kuñã (Blood Woman).The bishop summons The Vatican's Consilium de Virtutibus (The Council of Miracles) to certify Yema as a The First True Miracle of The New World, but when an Indian rebellion breaks out, the Council accuses the nun and child of heresy and condemns them to death as Doçura and Yema are forced to flee for their lives.Early Praise for Paul Cohn's The Cantora"If You Enjoyed The Book Thief, You Will Fall In Love With Cantora" --Hailey Zwanzig, Illustrator, Left Hand Tree by Jay Gunter""A Lyrically Stunning Novel...

"This memorable first novel is the story of four generations of Mexican - then Mexican American women - who defy and preserve the traditions of their often oppressive cultures. Set in Mexico and Southern California, the story of the Perez women is pieced together by the U.S.-born daughter who accidently stumbles upon a startling family secret. The truth of Amparo's forebears emerges through her recollections of the stories she's heard all her life - how her great-grandmother fled first from her domineering father, then the raiding Yaqui Indians, and finally the encroaching violence of the Revolution. She recalls stories of the family's restaurant in Hermosillo, Mexico. And, she remembers tales of the family's move to California. But Cantora is much more than the chronicle of a family. By coming to know her Mexicana great-grandmother, grandmother, and mother, the mestizo woman comes to know herself." "Based on the oral history of the author's family, this novel reveals Lopez-Medina as a new, strong voice in the chorus of women reconstructing their own histories. Cantora is a story of love, deceit, and liberation that will help readers look into their own pasts. It is a story that will inspire you to remember."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc. All Rights Reserved

Mirrors of Heaven or Worldly Theaters? Venetian Nunneries and Their Music explores the dynamic role of music performance and patronage in the convents of Venice and its lagoon from the sixteenth century to the fall of Venice around 1800. Examining sacred music performed by the nuns themselves and by professional musicians they employed, author Jonathan E. Glixon considers the nuns as collective patrons, of both musical performances by professionals in their external churches-primarily for the annual feast of the patron saint, a notable attraction for both Venetians and foreign visitors-and of musical instruments, namely organs and bells. The book explores the rituals and accompanying music for the transitions in a nun's life, most importantly the ceremonies through which she moved from the outside world to the cloister, as well as liturgical music within the cloister, performed by the nuns themselves, from chant to simple polyphony, and the rare occasions where more elaborate music can be documented. Also considered are the teaching of music to both nuns and girls resident in convents as boarding students, and entertainment-musical and theatrical-by and for the nuns. Mirrors of Heaven, the first large-scale study of its kind, contains richly detailed appendices featuring a calendar of musical events at Venetian nunneries, details on nunnery organs, lists of teachers, and inventories of musical and ceremonial books, both manuscript and printed. A companion website supplements the book's musical examples with editions of complete musical works, which are brought to life with accompanying audio files.

Nas décadas de 1950 e 1960, a cantora brasileira Leny Eversong se tornou um fenômeno: foram mais de 700 shows entre cidades como Los Angeles, Nova York, Las Vegas, Paris e grandes capitais das Américas Central e do Sul. Na TV dos EUA, chegou a dividir uma noite do programa Ed Sullivan Show com o, então, jovem astro Elvis Presley. Aqui no Brasil, com mais de 15 discos lançados, atuou em filmes, festivais, novela, teatro e rádio – chegando a ter um programa próprio de televisão (Quadra de Sete, na TV Record, em 1966). E, apesar desse alcance de sua música, é previsível a resposta para a pergunta: quem, hoje, já ouviu ao menos falar de Leny Eversong? O livro de Rodrigo Faour dá conta de apresentar esse completo e surpreendente apagamento da cantora nascida na cidade de Santos (SP) da memória do país. À medida em que apresenta sua trajetória por gravadoras, emissoras e palcos, Faour busca hipóteses a esse total esquecimento de Leny Eversong. Para ele, Leny, que mantinha repertório com músicas predominantemente em inglês, francês e espanhol, foi alvo de um sentimento nacionalista do período, que marcava o gosto e a crítica musical. Por outro lado, e como maior linha de força do livro, Faour aponta que Leny Eversong nunca se enquadrou nos padrões de beleza e sensualidade imposto a artistas do sexo feminino. Era uma mulher gorda e de voz que alcançava escalas que iam de mezzo soprano até a voz masculina de barítono. Além de inúmeras entrevistas com artistas contemporâneos de Leny, o livro reúne vasto material fotográfico e fac-símiles de matérias publicadas na imprensa da época. Grande parte do acervo pertencia à própria Leny Eversong e foi doado ao autor pelo filho da cantora, um dos entrevistados no livro. A obra traz ainda, na parte final, entrevistas com cantoras que sofreram resistências em suas carreiras por parecerem, igualmente, fora dos padrões de beleza, como Fafá de Belém e MC Carol. Bem resumido: um livro sobre a trajetória da cantora Leny Eversong e o modo como sua recente e rica história, de modo inacreditável, terminou apagada.
