Notes

The title “LIGHT & DARK” refers to the juxtaposition of different musical genres, between "light and serious", a multifaceted abstract percussion blending sounds of nature, dance, folklore, legends, and the severe sonic architectures from J. S. Bach to the present day. In the "LIGHT" CD, one can appreciate Keiko Abe's "Wind Sketch II" (Scherzi del Vento), a Japanese composer often inspired by natural events in her music. Cadença per Berimbau by Ney Rosauro focuses on the chordophone percussion instrument of African origin used in Brazil in the acrobatic dance Capoeira. Afro-Amero by Phil Faini is characterized by deep roots in the percussion of the 6/8 rhythms of the African Yoruba tribe. This is followed by pleasant arrangements of Birdland by Joseph Zawinul, ex-Weather Report, and Why not! by the virtuoso pianist of Puerto Rican origin Michael Camilo. With Ney Rosauro's Mitos Brasileiros, we delve into Brazilian mysteries and legends, with the narration of its bizarre characters represented by colorful rhythms, sounds, and instruments. The CD concludes with a solo jazz drum performance accompanied by a small percussion orchestra in John Beck's Drum Concerto. The "DARK" CD, on the other hand, presents a program with a distinct classical and contemporary feel. It begins with the sonic architecture of J. S. Bach in this Prelude in the atypical version for two marimbas; it continues with the spatialized timbral interpenetrations of sound tubes, glasses, and vibraphone in Mimesis, a piece composed for the Ensemble by Giovanni Bonato, and with Lou Harrison's unique experience in 1942, experimenting with references to Javanese music with sounds obtained from recycled objects such as trash cans, disc brakes, watch and truck springs… Following this: Metal-mente, a serial piece for vibraphone and only percussive and rubbed metallophones with curious but effective methods, dedicated to Edoardo Gioachini and the Ensemble; Kecak, "the dance of the chattering monkeys" by the Japanese Akira Nishimura, inspired by one of the dramaturgies of the island of Bali and based on four sequences that intertwine like a rhythmic belt coupled with a pair of timpani and vibraphone that develop a dialogue similar to the Indian Raga. It concludes with a "live" version of Ionisation by Edgard Varèse for thirteen performers, described by Curt Sachs as "the greatest rhythmic inspiration ever composed," an absolute masterpiece, completed in 1932, characterized by an incessant explosion of imagination and timbral creativity within traditional constructive elements.

Must read for contemporary (and all) times.
Format: Paperback
This is a great book. I wonder why we were not taught this in the freshman year, or at least as a counterpoint to Econ101. It opens up the perspective to seeing culture, economics, politics, and technology in an integrated way with an emphasis on social choesion as a unifying fabric for humanity and, looking for the right rate of economic reform. Much of what we do as "development" can in fact be harmful in the long (also short) run if we are not sensitive to the premises Polanyi is alerting us to. This is not counterpoint or counterfactual thesis per se. I am a strong proponent of the market system and also realize that this system is subsumed and must be complementary to the larger, complex social system where things are interconnected. An effective policy can only result from the collective consideration of these together. Polanyi's writing style is clear, direct, and simple and, unlike deeply nomenclature-intense economics write-ups, this book is rather an easy read. When we prescribe/teach The Industrial Revolution as an essential or secondary reading, The Great Transformation should also be a companion reading.

Read!
Format: Paperback
Well, I was going to review this wonderful work. However, Robert Moore's review is so spot on that there is really no need to take up more space. Also I need a nap. Anyway, this book is truly fascinating. If you are at all interested in Political Economy, this is perhaps one of the most important books you will ever read. There is no school which has the authors name attached to it, nor is there a political movement dedicated to the realization of his ideas. In most cases this is because the author did not contribute original thought or make an adequate connection of his thought process with reality. In Polanyi's case, this is because the originality of his thought cuts through the specialized form in which science and social studies is presented today and cannot possible be claimed to belong to 'economics' any more than it can of 'sociology', 'anthropology', 'history', 'international relations', etc.. Read this book.

Great book!
Format: Paperback
We read this story as a class read aloud after we read the first Sprinkles and the Unicorn book. They noticed similar characters, and loved the story line. They’re begging me to buy the whole series of this and all the other books! I can’t read them fast enough.
