Song of Lawino and Song of Ocol

Okot P'Bitek did what most writers dream of doing when he completed this book.  Song of Lawino and Song of Ocol is a fulfiling work of art.  It is poetry in the best sense of the word and is based in Africa in the advent of the revolution to mordernize the continent, it shows the stuggles between the overlaping cultures;tradition(African)and the western(European).
He makes sense of what people dismiss as minute details, and empasis' on the importance of change while still empasising on the the role of tradition in the Afircan society. The book is most humorous and at the same time gives a different point of view on the effects of the european presence in Africa. I have recomeded this book to a lot of my friends

I liked that it had both English and Spanish for the song lyrics. The song book has the melody music if you want to play on an instrument.

Normalmente los discos de Montaner tienen una o dos canciones que no me gustan mucho, pero este disco aporta pasin y sentimiento en cada una de las canciones. Encontr en l una nueva favorita para mi lista. Curiosamente, a mis amigas les ha gustado la misma cancin sin que yo les mencione nada. Un disco de xito de Montaner!

These are old songs of a generation when Jose A Jimenez sang songs of love and pain that goes with loving someone in a style that He could only express. Los Diablos modern way of singing these songs are done amazingly. Great job!

Anna and Monsignor Joseph sing beautifully, especially this song.  I highly recommend this song.  O God Believe in Me is an awesome song.

I bought this because while reading Shakespeare and Marlowe, I discovered that many famous pieces of poetry as their source have Ovid.  For example, the the source story of Venus and Adonis poem is to be found in Ovid's Metamorphoses book X.  The story of Marlowe's Hero and Leander is to be found in Ovid's Heroides cycle, series of heroic tragedies.  Ovid's Metamorphoses contains many interesting stories including the story of Narcissus and Echo,  and many many more.

Also included are the complete works of Virgil, Homer.  The content runs to thousands of pages, and it would probably be easier to tell you what is not included because it is such a comprehensive collection of both Roman and Greek Mythology, with more than 50 books.

If you were to buy these works separately in paperback or hardback, you could easily end spend hundreds of dollars.  Here are a few paperback examples&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Heroides-Penguin-Classics/dp/0140423559/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Heroides (Penguin Classics)</a>,<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Metamorphoses-A-New-Translation-by-Charles-Martin/dp/039332642X/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Metamorphoses: A New Translation by Charles Martin</a>&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/The-Aeneid-of-Virgil-35th-Anniversary-Edition/dp/0520254155/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">The Aeneid of Virgil: 35th Anniversary Edition</a>,<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/The-Tragedies-of-Euripides-Volume-I/dp/3842477430/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">The Tragedies of Euripides, Volume I.</a>

I think you will agree that represents a tremendous value for content.  It's well formatted with a very detailed and linked table of contents, and you can also search by unique words, if like me, you wish to research any particular story or character..

I think you will love it and I hope this this was helpful.

Caball is in her prime in this live radio broadcast from Moscow. The performance is from June 19, 1974 and stars frequent singers from La Scala like the incomporable Fiorenza Cossotto as Adalgisia and an amazing Gianni Riamondi as Pollione who sang many times with Maria Callas and is on the live Anna Bolena recording from La Scala with Callas and Simionato. The sound quality is so good that is must have been a radio broadcast of a live performance.

This is an in-depth analysis of the Biblical Book of Song of Songs.  It is readable for a text book, but often repetitive.

Este es uno de los mejores discos que han sido jamas grabado en idioma espanol y es, ademas, el mejor exito de Julio Iglesias. Las canciones son muy romanticas y nostalgicas y la produccion, gracias a Roberto Livi, es excelente. Lo recomiendo a todos a los cuales les gusta musica de calidad y no la basura que se escucha en la radio. Julio sabe cantar de veras.

These guys sound great on high notes. I love the way their voices blend together. Their music is so touching and beautiful, it moves me.

Sus voces mezclan bien, y suenan bien en los sonidos altos. Bellisimo, su musica. Cantan con emocion, suave como un susurro. Se puede sentir the pena de un amor perdido cuando cantan.

This is a beautiful ode to Ofra Haza's Yemenite ancestry.  She sings in the three languages of the Middle East-Aramaic, Hebrew, and Arabic.  The only songs i know she sings in Arabic are Galbi, Yachilva Yachali (ya helwa ya hali), and Ayeselech (a'salk).  With the exception of Yachilva Yachali, Ofra Haza confuses the dialects of Arabic that had surrounded her in life to make the lyrics nearly indiscernable, Yemenite, Palestinian, and evidently Egyptian (Egyptian movies are quite popular in Israel), but once you get through those tiny flaws the lyrics are lovely.  The only reason i gave it four stars is i believe this songs would sound lovelier if devoid of synthesizers.

Though I'm impressed with the recording that David Oberg and the Polish Radio National Symphony Orchestra made of my "Desert Light" on this CD, I want to stress that it includes excellent renditions of two important pieces by my mentor, John Donald Robb.  He was a colorful character--composer, educator, conductor, ethnomusicologist (in the tradition of Bartok and Kodaly), author, administrator, soldier and lawyer.

When I was in graduate school at the University of New Mexico, it was an early piano version of his "Scenes From a New Mexico Mountain Village" that moved me to write programmatic music inspired by the magic of New Mexico.  This version, arranged and orchestrated at Robb's request by John J. Mitchell, is performed beautifully by Oberg and the PRNSO.

Robb's "Elegy for Our War Dead" was written shortly after World War II and is the second movement of his "Symphony for Strings."  Often performed independently, the Elegy is a meditative reflection of its time.  It's dedicated to those in the US military who died during the war.

I love when Robert Bly combines poets in his translations (I'm also a fan of the Neruda and Vallejo book). These poems are gorgeous and Jimenez was an inspiration to Lorca. It's a small gem but a book I read and re-read, and certainly a great stepping-off point to learn more about each poet.

En esta versin podemos apreciar tres hermosas sinfonas del genio de Salzburgo (las sinfonas No. 30, 31 y 32) en versin del destacado maestro James Levine a cargo de la emblemtica Wiener Philharmoniker en una versin muy intensa de la msica mozartiana.
Muy hermosos los temas meldicos de la Sinfona No. 30. La orquesta presenta una interpretacin vivaz y frentica de los violines y las madera, finas y elegantes , como siempre.
Muy interesante tambin la Sinfona No. 32 de cortsima duracin pero de sublime belleza. Un disco interesante.

This period instruments version is musically and vocally excellent. As i have always said,you have to have a libretto or to know the language to apreciate this masterpiece, because is formed for long recitatives,that are  so varied ,that they are diferents of the later  comic,seria,romantic and wagnerian operas. It tells us of the ill fated love that the god Apollo felt  for the river nymph Daphne,who asked be turned in a laurel tree for her own father to avoid his
love. Also has two more smaller love stories,drawn from Greek mithology.

The first cut is instrumental  - Ride on King Jesus.  It is wondeful to hear the orchestra on a gospel CD.  Juanita  Bynum's rendition of One Night with the King is very moving and I love to hear it over and over again.  Jonathan Butler plays the guitar which is another departure from the standard gospel songs.  I have thoroughly enjoyed this two CD treat.  Good stuff!
