Handel in London: The Making of a Genius
Handel In London: The
Making Of A Genius
£25.00
` How refreshing, to read a book about music written for a music lover & not a musicologist. In clear, lucid, entertaining prose, Jane Glover makes those of us who lack musical literacy better understand & appreciate Handel`s divinity.`
- Donna Leon, author of Handel`s Bestiary & the Inspector Brunetti mysteries Handel in London tells the story of a young German composer who in 1712, followed his princely master to London & would remain there for the rest of his life. That master would become King George II & the composer was George Frideric Handel. Handel, then still only twenty-seven & largely self-taught, would be at the heart of musical activity in London for the next four decades, composing masterpiece after masterpiece, whether the glorious coronation anthem, Zadok the Priest, operas such as Giulio Cesare, Rinaldo & Alcina or the great oratorios, culminating, of course, in Messiah. Here, Jane Glover, who has conducted Handel`s work in opera houses & concert halls throughout the world, draws on her profound understanding of music & musicians to tell Handel`s story. It is a story of music-making & musicianship, of practices & practicalities, but also of courts & cabals, of theatrical rivalries & of eighteenth-century society. It is also, of course, the story of some of the most remarkable music ever written, music that has been played & sung, & loved, in this country
- & throughout the world
- for three hundred years.

Handmade Houses & Other Buildings
Handmade Houses &
Other Buildings
£14.95
Vernacular architecture, by its very nature, is built from local materials that are readily to hand & is thus defined by the geology & ecology of the region & by local climatic conditions. Constructed by the community using traditional tools, these structures are highly practical, energy-efficient, & blend with the landscape. They carry many of the attributes that we are now seeking in green architecture as we struggle to adapt our built environment to the demands & concerns of the climate-change era. ” Handmade Houses & Other Buildings” looks at everyday structures all over the world, from whatever wood, grass, earth or stone that was to h&, in ways that offered practical solutions to the challenges of climate or terrain. Based on immemorial principles, but highly relevant to our newly found environmental concerns, these buildings show the simple & satisfying ways in which humans have worked out how to live & live well, in harmony with their surroundings. ...
