Описание:

Over the past fifty years Roger Sessions has developed, in articles, lectures, and addresses, various themes that reflect the stages of his own musical and intellectual growth. These themes form the basis of the present collection of essays. Many of the essays deal with specific problems that musicians, especially composers, have faced during the past five decades: problems related to new musical styles and techniques, to the position of composers in society, to their responsibilities as teachers, to their role during the period of the world wars, to the mutual reactions of composer and audience, and to the basic questions of musical form and expression. The collection also includes a set of critical essays on such seminal figures as Bloch, Schoenberg, and Stravinsky.

Roger Sessions is the composer of a recently recorded cantata on Whitman's "When Lilacs Last in the Dooryard Bloom'd" as well as numerous other works. He is the author of The Musical Experience of Composer, Performer, and Listener (Princeton).

Originally published in 1979.

Описание: Wisdom's Way is a clear and well-organized primer to the I Ching, as seen through a Christian lens.

The I Ching is a three thousand year old book of Asian wisdom that has been revered by millions of people, but until now has been inaccessible to most Christians.

Wisdom's Way gives a solid understanding of how to query, read, and interpret the I Ching archetypes, as well as an understanding of the history of the I Ching, the biblical basis for the I Ching, and how the I Ching fits into contemporary Christian theology. The step-by-step directions are admirably organized and the scripturally grounded interpretations of each of the sixty-four archetypes will be illuminating and easy to understand for Western audiences.

However, Wisdom's Way is more than just a practical manual. It uses personal stories to show the reader how the I Ching has helped others gain insight into their problems and can help them as well. It successfully draws a parallel between the Myers-Briggs typology and the I Ching, and describes Carl Jung's lifelong fascination with the I Ching as a tool for exploring what he called the collective unconscious.

Most important, Wisdom's Way makes the I Ching relatable to Western readers by using elegant language and phrasing that echo scripture without ever losing sight of clarity. Wisdom's Way brings together for the first time two of the greatest Wisdom books ever written: the I Ching and The Bible. These two books are strongly synergistic. The Bible describes the loving relationship God so desperately wants with us. The I Ching gives us the communication tools we need to surrender ourselves more fully into that relationship.
