The collection of folk songs from the Americas, Europe, and Australia should provide many hours of pleasant music-making for intermediate-level recorder players. Several tunes can be easily sight -read, while others may prove to be more challenging. Every effort has been made to create interesting lines for each player, consequently, many arrangements do not confine the melody to the uppermost part, but allow it to move from instrument to instrument. Flexibility of scoring is a hallmark of these arrangements, and players will find that almost any combination of three recorders can be used effectively for one piece or another. To aid them in finding those pieces which can be played with a specific set of instruments, an index has been included which classifies the contents by instrumentation.

Miguel Mera and David Burnand present a volume that explores specific European filmic texts, composers and approaches to film scoring that have hitherto been neglected. Films involving British, French, German, Greek, Irish, Italian, Polish and Spanish composers are considered in detail. Important issues that permeate all the essays involve the working relationship of composer and director, the dialectic between the diegetic and non-diegetic uses of music in films, the music-image synergism and the levels of realism that are created by the audio-visual mix.

This book explores composed scores and pre-existing music in French cinema from 1985 to 2015 so as to identify critical musical moments. It shows how heritage films construct space through music, generating what Powrie calls “third space music,” while also working to contain the strong women characters found in French heritage films through the use of leitmotifs and musical cues. He analyses fiction films in which the protagonists perform at the piano, showing how musical performance supports the performance of gender. Building on aspects of musical performance, and in particular the use of songs performed in films, Powrie uses a database of 300 films since 2010 to theorize the intervention of music at critical moments as a “crystal-song”. Applying Roland Barthes’s concept of the “punctum” and Gille Deleuze’s concept of the “crystal-image,” Powrie establishes the importance of the crystal-song, which reconfigures time as a crystallization of past, present and future.
