Описание: (Note: does not include a piano accompaniment) This compendium of beautiful Christmas carols -- popular and rare, familiar and uncommon -- is designed for violinists of all ages, with fifty gorgeous carols and hymns written in basic, flexible arrangements. Including historical notes and full lyrics, it is both practical and informative, musical and literary. This collection of classic Yuletide carols for solo violin is a unique and inexpensive anthology perfect for Christmas parties, caroling, or simply familiarizing oneself with Christmas musical literature. Particularly concerned with under-appreciated classics of English carols from the Tudor, Georgian, and Victorian periods, this book of music includes appendixes with historical notes on the carols and the complete lyrics. Perfect for novice and advanced violinists alike, this collection is more concerned with spirit than technique, allowing the violinist to improvise as they wish, but providing a straight-forward transcription that honors the spirit of the original music. Included in this edition are favorites such as O Holy Night, We Wish You a Merry Christmas, We Three Kings, Silent Night, Ding Dong Merrily on High, What Child is This?, O Come O Come Emmanuel, I Wonder as I Wander, Still Still Still, The First Noel, The Coventry Carol, and God Rest Ye Merry, Gentlemen, but also includes lesser-known, under appreciated standards such as The Boar's Head Carol, The Cherry Tree Carol, Gabriel's Message, The Echo Hymn, The Gloucestershire Wassail, Masters in this Hall, The Sussex Carol, The Gower Wassail, This Endris Night, Down in Yon Forest, and The Friendly Beasts.*****BONUS: Includes Charles Dickens' Christmas punch recipe, a genuine Victorian recipe for Christmas pudding, and two short Yuletide tales from Dickens and Washington Irvin
Описание: His supernatural fiction was unparalleled in the Victorian Era. It inspired Robert Louis Stevenson, Henry James, and E. F. Benson. M. R. James was a worshipful devotee who resurrected his legacy and modeled his ghost stories after his style. Bram Stoker reworked his erotic vampire fiction to write his masterpieces, "Dracula" and "The Judge's House." J. Sheridan Le Fanu was the most influential, original, and inspirational horror writer of his time, and unlike many of his peers, his writing has not become dated or quaint: it still carries his trademark atmosphere of unsettling discomfort and uncanny fear. Le Fanu's psychological ghost stories and weird fiction are remarkable for the way in which they merge elements which should be diametrically opposed: the conscious and unconscious, life and death, heaven and hell, right and wrong, light and darkness, public self and private self. He sets his stories in a world of deep twilight -- a chiaroscuro of deep shadows broken up with faint light and vague definitions. His cosmos is unforgiving, malicious, and misanthropic: unlike Lovecraft who feared a world where mankind didn't matter, Le Fanu depicted a punishing spiritual order where every sin, every misstep, and every crime was closely watched and viciously, mercilessly punished. His murky universe is populated with demon lovers, haunted portraits, seductive ghosts, hanging judges, demonic rats, maddening visions of hell, animated corpses, sensual vampires, evil fairies, shape-shifting goblins, spectral hands, haunted candles, malevolent phantoms, and the ghosts of evil men who cozy up to the living in disturbingly intimate ways.
