Music Gen X Chico Cesar Putumayo Lifestyle Trend Demko It is a region that is rich in culture but poor in resources, and poverty andlow life expectancies Chico Cesar is released by Putumayo World music. http://www.demko.com/cx001031.htm
Extractions: AgeVenture News Service Since his phenomenally successful debut recording in 1995, a self-produced live album that was released on a small, independent Brazilian label, César has been recognized as one of the most gifted composers and lyricists in Brazil. The Putumayo Artists release, Chico Cesar (photo), includes selections from Césars groundbreaking studio albums and serves as perfect introduction to the music of this stunning new world music star. While Chico now lives in the southern metropolis of São Paulo, Brazils largest city, he hails from the small city of Cartolé do Rocha (population 12,000) in Paraîba, a state in the Northeast. It is a region that is rich in culture but poor in resources, and poverty and low life expectancies are the rule. The dusty streets of Chicos hometown were sources for both joy and sorrow giving rise to the deep sentiments and sparkling pleasures of his compositions. Born to a poor, farm worker father and a washerwoman mother, Chico is clearly gifted. At three years old, he had learned to read. By twelve, without knowing a single musical note, he composed his first song. "I was just a kid, 8 years old, when I started working at a record store. At the same time, my aunt got me a scholarship at a school founded by nuns. At age 10, we had a band with instruments my friends and I invented ourselves. At age 14, I formed another music group, and with our own songs we crossed my native state singing in music festivals. At 16, I moved to the state capital, and soon after dedicated myself to music only, touring Brazil, Japan, and Europe."

Bibliography Serial Composition Techniques The Twelve-Tone Method One of the most dominating ideas in twentieth century music has been the development of techniques for systematic ordering of musical events. The first significant advance in this trend toward serialism in music was the twelve-tone atonal composition system devised by the German experimental composer Arnold Schoenberg in the late 1910s. Although the twelve-tone method does not represent the entire panoply of serial composition techniques, it is perhaps the most important element of most serialized music. In order to promote consistency and order in atonal composition Schoenberg adopted specific precepts for his "method of composing with twelve notes only related to each other":

Growing up my family had every kind of push mower imaginable - from the Kmart special to the Wal-Mart special. Every one got the job done, but it was never easy work, especially in the hot New Mexico sun. The thing I remember most about those days is how difficult it was to start those bargain basement machines. I can't begin to tell you how much of my youth was wasted pulling on stubborn mower cords. On the worst occasions, I'd eventually give up and try a new spark plug or air cleaner; sometimes I'd even rebuild the carburetor. When all else failed my father would look at me and say, "well, it's time to get a new mower", and the latest push special would roll into our lives. Confused yet?

Extractions: Microform collections ... Back to Homepage General statement Edinburgh University Library has been acquiring books on North America since the early 17th century, and these early items are now held as part of the Early Printed and Special Collections. Because the modern collections on Canada and USA are intershelved with the Library's other general subject collections, it is difficult to estimate their extent in numerical terms. The Library, however, is unlikely to have fewer than 10,000 separate items on North America in its post-1900 collections, and quite probably more. Subjects covered include history, geography and ecology, emigration, travel and exploration, politics and economics, law, religions, anthropology, literature, the fine arts and music. Some of these are held outwith the Main Library. Modern printed collections Focused interest in the United States is older than in Canada, but the spread of subjects is similar; a greater emphasis is placed on American than on Canadian foreign policy. The Library has significant holdings of printed editions of Presidential and other personal papers, including those of John Adams, John C. Calhoun, Henry Clay, Dwight D. Eisenhower, Benjamin Franklin, William A. Graham, Ulysses S. Grant, Alexander Hamilton, Thomas Jefferson, Andrew Johnson, William Johnson, H. Laurens, James Madison, G. Mason, Franklin D. Roosevelt and Woodrow Wilson. Holdings on slavery, Afro-Americans, and the Black Diaspora are good, and include a number of Afro-American newspapers and journals in microform (see below)
Extractions: Full Review I was not planning on buying a 4G iPod, but I got one. I had the original first generation 5GB iPod when it launched and loved the thing, except for the fact that I could not build playlists while I was on the road. I got a 3G iPod 15GB when it came out and loved it. But, recently my music collection had ballooned to over 17GB and I was tired of shuffling songs onto and off the iPod via playlists. So, I sold it off on eBay and used the proceeds to pick up my new iPod 40GB.

Extractions: The Washington Post LAGOS, Nigeria Fela Anikulapo-Kuti, 58, the maverick Nigerian singer, composer and saxophonist who fused rock with African rhythms into a blend known as "Afrobeat" and popularized it around the world, died here Aug. 3. He had AIDS. Known to his fans as "Fela," he rose to national and international fame with his distinctive Afrobeat music and his criticism of Nigeria's military government, and for his bohemian lifestyle. Known for openly smoking marijuana, dressing only in his underpants and sleeping with numerous women, Fela was a legend among his fans.
