In The Beat Stops Here: Lessons on and off the Podium for Today's Conductor, master conductor Mark Gibson addresses the technique of conducting as an extension of intimate knowledge of the score to the hands and arms. He employs a variety of everyday activities and motions (brushing the dog, Tinkerbelle, the "door knob") to describe the physical aspects of the role. He advocates a comprehensive, detailed approach to score study, addressing major works bar-by-bar in terms of both musical analysis and conducting method. Finally, Gibson explores the various roles a conductor plays, as a teacher, a scholar and a member of the musical community. His writing is highly focused, with an occasionally tongue-in-cheek, discussing everything from motivic development in Brahms to how to hold a knife and fork in public. In short, The Beat Stops Here is a compendium of style and substance in the real world of today's conductor.

This volume explores several recurring topics in Romance phonetics and phonology, with a special focus on the segment, syllable, word, and phrase levels of analysis. An international team of experts and junior researchers present research that ranges from the low-level mechanical processes involved in speech production and perception to high-level representation and computation, based on data from across the Romance language family, including from varieties that areless widely studied.The book is divided into five parts. In the first, chapters present acoustic studies, examining topics such as Italian anaphonesis and voiceless fricative sibilants in Galician, while chapters in part two turn to articulatory studies of features including three-consonant onsets in Romanian and rhotic variation in Tuscan Italian. The focus of the third part is perception, and includes studies of perceived phrasing in French and perceptual cues for individual voice quality, while part fourexamines phonological issues such as Galician mid-vowel reduction and sibilant voicing in Spanish. Chapters in the final part of the volume look at the effects of production and perception on issues in language acquisition. The book draws on a range of experimental and methodological approaches and will beof interest not only to scholars of Romance linguistics but also to all those working in phonetics and phonology from graduate level upwards.

Conductors today must come to the podium with a wide-ranging set of skills. A modern symphony conductor is expected not only to reveal the spirituality in a Brahms symphony, but also to perform the latest symphonic arrangement of The Lord of the Rings for movie lovers, put together an evening of light classics, and program the first half of a pops concert before reading the charts of a country-western artist while following a click track—to name just a few examples. Modern conductors are charged with maintaining the language and values of the past while also being able to promote todays agenda of outreach and audience building, and at the same time striving to remain true to their role as the composers advocate.The New Modern Conductor argues that it is time to redefine what it means today to be a "modern conductor" within a cultural landscape transformed by technology and accessibility. In contrast to previous editions of the classic text (first published in 1961), which updated the original work, this eighth edition of The Modern Conductor presents an entirely new approach to conducting designed for the present day. As author (and co-author of the book's seventh edition) Mark Gibson argues, the mastery of the craft involves mastery of a variety of languages--vocabularies both musical and physical, visual and aural. From a technical standpoint, he shows, it is time to reexamine a basic approach to conducting, one that begins not with beating but with music, not with gesture but with score study and stylistic understanding. In doing so, Gibson transforms the basic vocabulary of conducting into a rich language of gesture to reflect one's best understanding of a composer's sound world. Emphasis is placed on learning and understanding music by well-known composers such as Beethoven and Debussy, overlooked masters such as Louise Farrenc and Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, and up and coming composers, including Aya Yoshida, Shawn Okpebholo, and Viet Cuong.The book is written in two interwoven parts, with chapters devoted to technical skills, both conducting and musical, interspersed with "Score Study" chapters--score analyses that help the reader to understand and conduct a composer's music--and video links to demonstrations of conducting techniques. Written for students in conducting programs and conducting courses from beginner to advanced, this book is a much-needed update to an essential conducting text.

Exploring this troubling paradox, The Feeding of Nations: Re-Defining Food Security for the 21st Century offers a glimpse into how the simple aspiration of global food security has evolved and unfolded—with sometimes contradictory and counterproductive policies, agendas, and ideologies.Providing a holistic analysis of the issues surrounding food security, this volume engages in a cross-disciplinary approach that makes the subject accessible to readers and academically rigorous in delivery. Topics discussed include: A brief overview of our current understanding of the prevalence of hunger and malnutritionHistorical perspectives on the feeding of nations, to understand how we arrived at this pointContemporary motivations that led to the creation of the modern concept of food securityThe many different sectors related to food security, including agriculture, environment, and policy The goals that society has set regarding food security, the means by which these are to be achieved, and current thoughts on solutionsThe book contains a broad set of appendices that enable focused study on critical topics presented in the text. Uniquely amalgamating all the disparate elements of food security into one volume, it sets the record straight about the origins and evolution of the phenomenon while dispelling myths along the way.

Fringe to Famous examines exchange between small scenes of cultural production and mainstream institutions and markets.Drawing on Australian examples in music, streetwear, comedy, screen and digital games, it argues that there has been much greater crossover between the two than is generally recognized.The book resists a tendency to represent fringe and mainstream as abstract opposites, bringing a focus instead to concrete historical formations. It offers an alternative both to romantic celebrations of a ‘pure’ fringe – discredited now by half a century of critical responses to the counterculture – and to an increasingly hardened anti-romantic reaction.Drawing on extensive original interviews, Fringe to Famous offers an overview of transformations in Australian culture since the 1980s, concluding with suggestions for cultural policy ‘after the creative industries’. It proposes an idea of ‘generative hybridity’ between fringe and mainstream that allows us to imagine new possibilities for arts and culture in the 2020s and beyond.

Power has long been a central preoccupation of social and cultural analysis. Culture and Power focuses on power to shape a history of Cultural Studies. A critical analysis of the nature and purpose of Cultural Studies, the book assesses the development of the discipline from the work of Michel Foucault in post-war France and the Birmingham Centre for Cultural Studies in the 1970s to the expansion of the field in the United States and present-day concerns with culture, politics and ethics.As Cultural Studies has shifted, the concept of power has changed and become more problematic. Moving on from the celebrated 'culture wars' - and battles over language, objective knowledge and disciplinary values and meanings - Culture and Power unravels the social, ideological and political knots bound up in the concept of power. In doing so, the book charts not only the history but also the possible future of Cultural Studies.
