In a series of conversations with English music critic Edward Seckerson, conductor Michael Tilson Thomas shares his thinking on diverse musical matters, from the influence of technology on listening, to composers, including Mahler and Stravinsky, to his friendship with Leonard Bernstein, to his own composing. For those who don't know much about "classical" music (or think they don't like it), he provides friendly guidance, amusing anecdotes, and an unabashedly American point of view. Walt Whitman, James Brown (whom he worked with briefly in the '60s) and Steve Reich are as important to him as the European masters. Tilson Thomas' descriptions of symphonic music and the art of conducting are honest and de-mystifing. On page 195, he says, "The performers' instinct to find whatever is necessary to put the piece over is a reflection of music as a part of show business... there is still a platform, performers, an audience, lights, ushers and tickets. That's a show. Sometimes the show may have a prayerful intention which can unite people in a spiritual way. There is nothing more wonderful than the moments of silence that the audience and orchestra share together at the end of Tchaikovsky's Pathetique, or Mahler's Ninth Symphony... In this spectacle the conductor can be a kind of master of ceremonies, celebrant, cheerleader, drill sergeant, band leader..." Seckerson's questions and comments are also interesting and at times provocative. The text is accompanied by a generous number of photos of Tilson Thomas with composers, soloists, orchestras, and friends.

This book is organized by terms of harmonic content. The book is divided into three sections: Diatonic Materials, Chromatic Materials, and Twentieth Century Materials. It contains an analytic checklist and sample analysis that can be used as a guide to the student. An index of composers makes it easy to study the musical style of a particular composer. The excerpts can be played by any competant keyboard player. This book contains mostly excerpts, but a few sections that contain a complete piece or movement of a piece. The selections are not analyzed, which makes for fun practice at analyzing them yourself!

This is a fine book for teenagers, many of whom have serious and important questions about spirituality and religion. Libraries would do well to own it, as would browsers and thoughtful seekers. Here we find interviews with Americans from a range of faith traditions - everyone from a Catholic Bishop to a Quaker pacifist to a Wiccan writer to a Hindu doctor. Each one recounts their own personal experiences, and how they were drawn to the paths they chose to follow. It is this personal storytelling that makes the book most appealing - too often religion is seen merely as a set of stories or rules. Here we see it operating in the lives of individuals. There is a distinct emphasis on interfaith tolerance, acceptance of all (women, gays, etc.), and social activism that may prove inspiring to young people. Some interviews are more interesting or relevant than others to me, but of course it depends on your point of view. Each chapter ends with a helpful list of further readings and approved web sites.

This is a usefull book for those starting in Pediatric A+E or those in Primary Care who see children.

this was truely a great book and i enjoyed reading it, however i desired more interpretation on "the secret sayings of the living Jesus." i thought the authors would elaborate in depth the sayings they've discovered, but rather they were just presented. I'd recommend buying the book, that is for sure, but you should research the gospel of Thomas deeply before you undertake the reading.
