A combination of memoir and music history, Distant Melodies takes the reader on a journey of exploration into the related ideas of home, displacement and retreat in the lives and music of four composers whose works Edward Dusinberre has rehearsed and performed as first violinist of the Takács Quartet: Antonín Dvorák, Edward Elgar, Béla Bartók and Benjamin Britten. Distant Melodies explores the experience of living with a piece of music over time and the ways in which engaging more closely with these composers has changed the author's own perception of home. As he learned more about Dvórâk, Bartók and Britten's American experiences, Elgar's remarkable Piano Quintet and the English landscapes that inspired it provided another way to explore the ways in which a piece of music may affirm or alter one's sense of home. While Dusinberre's earlier book, Beethoven for a Later Age: The Journey of a String Quartet,delved into the inner workings of a string quartet, Distant Melodies charts the progress of the Takács during a period of change as the world begins to emerge from the distancing caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.

An engaging blend of memoir and music history, Distant Melodies explores the changing ideas of home, displacement, and return through the lives and chamber music of four composers. How does music played and heard over many years inform one’s sense of home? Writing during the COVID-19 pandemic, when travel is forbidden and distance felt anew, Edward Dusinberre, first violinist of the world-renowned Takács Quartet, searches for answers in the music of composers whose relationships to home shaped the pursuit of their craft—Antonín Dvořák, Edward Elgar, Béla Bartók, and Benjamin Britten. Dusinberre has lived abroad for three decades. At the age of 21, he left his native England to pursue music studies at the Juilliard School in New York. Three years later he moved to Boulder, Colorado. Drawn to the stories of Dvořák’s, Bartók’s, and Britten’s American sojourns as they tried to reconcile their new surroundings with nostalgia for their homelands, Dusinberre reflects on his own evolving relationship to England and the idea of home. As he visits and imagines some of the places crucial to these composers’ creative inspiration, Dusinberre also reflects on Elgar’s unusual Piano Quintet and the landscapes that inspired it. Combining travel writing with revealing insights into the working lives of string quartet musicians, Distant Melodies is a moving and humorous meditation on the relationship between music and home.

Twelve folk songs from different countries, arranged for resonator bells with piano accompaniment, for elementary and/or special education children. Only one 20-bar set of resonator bells (an octave and a half ) is necessary for their performance. The children's parts are easy to learn and memorize because they are short, simple, and repetitive. Though the piano parts are also easy, they have been strategically written to provide rhythmic, melodic, and harmonic variety. Aside from their musical interest, these pieces provide opportunities for children to think and talk about people from other countries and their customs. Most importantly, the children can enjoy the simple beauty of the music, and have fun with the instruments.

A richly imaginative novel of love, loss, time and the rise and fall of a great maritime empire, that sends two thwarted lovers spiralling through the chaos of history. The story begins in 1429 on Madeira, when a peasant girl meets a boy- a Jewish outsider- from a Portuguese sailing ship. Esperança and Emmanuel know they must part when the ship sails. From that first meeting and parting, others follow... Emmanuel is in turn sailor, mapmaker, bookseller, jazz musician; Esperança an illiterate peasant, a rich girl in Faro and a clever, bookish recluse who confronts a murderer in nineteenth-century Lisbon. In twentieth-century London, Esperança is faced with a double incarnation, one of the true Emmanuel and the other a shadow. Over the centuries the couple face peril and tenderness. Each life is short. What survives is love.

"The poems in this volume, written by the probing, questing spirit that was John Tamas, are unique in many ways, but one quality deserves special mention. Over the years, I have many students write beautiful poems, and I have had a few students write disturbing ones, but John is one of the very few whose poems are often beautiful and disturbing at the same time. While there is almost always a music in his language, there is also often an edge. His "Lover's Leap" poem is a case in point. Here you have the romantic myth of the past and the graphic present juxtaposed with one another, and both stories are brought into sharper focus as a result of this contrast... ...The perceptive reader will find an impish "edge" in John's poems. He will see it in the graphic treatment of the present in "Lovers' Leap," the description of the dead swan in "Distant Music," and throughout the Babylon sequence. But it is important to understand that John rarely, if ever, uses graphic description for its own sake. When he shocks us, he does so for a purpose. The disturbing material is almost always used in context, usually for contrast." - James R. Scrimgeor, poet and author of Balloons Over Stockholm, We Are What We Have Loved, Monet in the 20th Century, and Brushstrokes of the Millenium.
