Product Description
This is a study of the seventeenth-century Latin role dialogue, a sung conversation on a sacred subject involving two or more characters, each of whom is represented by a single voice.This is the first critical study of the genre, which has never been the object of comprehensive scholarly treatment.Few exist in modern editions, and a valuable portion of this book is the complete transcriptions of ten dialogues, representative of their range and invention. Professor Noske divides his subject matter into Biblical and non-Biblical dialogues, and offers a comprehensive discussion of their musical and non-musical aspects. In the course of his discussion, he brings to light a number of minor masters and allows for a re-appraisal of more well-known composers familiar through other genres, such as Giovanni Legrenzi.The study also adds to our understanding of seventeenth-century sacred music as a whole. ...

Reviewer: derjenrogers from WILTHIRE
l found long ago, a very special sound,but no one was around totell me about it, no one knew anything, only that the music was so powerful it WOULD change your life. My soul has been searching for 30 years untill Jim McCarthy came and spent four years of his life, writting, hundred of interviews, to bring to life an utter MASTERPIECE, documenting the raw,uncensored passion to the roots of LATIN ROCK. Authenticity and powerful emotion drips off every page,forcing the reader to collect it and greedily drink
down this strong, pungent,wonderful nectar to fill your unknowing soul with THE KNOWLEDGE!

All the peoples names (which i only use to just read on the back of album covers) all come to life and i feel that they are close
friends,as so many are backed-up with the huge amount of photographs in this wonderful book.l now, no longer feel left outside, without The Knowledge, but part of global commune, full of love, warmth and unashamed greed for LATIN ROCK.
Jim McCarthy has pulled off a monumental task with getting to grips with the truth behind the roots of the music to some of the greastest latin rock bands of all time.
Their music will be here forever, as indeed this book will be.

this book was the greatest book about latin rock history
i love this book it,s about time a book like this came out i love all the old pics of the bands and of the mission district now people will know the history of san franciscos latin rock and salsa sceen all the bands they mentioned on here like malo santana and sapo azteca tower of power el chicano i grew up listening to them

adelante roqueiros!
Quite a book,an amazing trip down the "memories lane".

Fotos beyond expectation, SO many nice documents of Latin Rock, from its jazzy moments (Caravanserai -era Santana and Malo) to the Latin Funk/Bugalú end of the spectrum (Mandrill in particular).

Finally , words about not only the "stars" like Carlos Santana , in particular, but nice words about músicos as the unbelievable innovative (and completely ignored) bassist Douglas Rauch and pianista beyond compare Richard Kermode. Abel Zarate was as great a guitarrista as Carlos Santana, this book can set the record straight!

What more to say, a great period in sounds , I made many friends in that period when fellow afficionadosmutually "hacer buenas migas" when we discovered our common denominator, this new sound mixing genres in the tradition so well associated with Brasil! (cultural cannibalism is the "famous" term!)

Also included, some words on Afro-American and Chicano activisim of the time, and , for me, a wonderful surprise that the late Alberto Gianquinto, the mad composer/pianista was mentioned in more than passing detail(He cowrote "Incident at Neshabur" with Carlos Santana, among other accomplishments) .
He was a severe combination of Thelonius Monk meet Otis Spann, Che Guevara meet 21st century schizoid puertoriqueño! I knew him in Chicago, and was quite influenced by his unique brand of madness, a madness that unfortunately led to his demise.

the book is written in the tone of a fan, not in the scholarly fashion, but no matter , I am not an "elitista"!

Very easy to read, almost 50/50 text/pictoral.

A must purchase!

Music in Latin American Culture
There has long been a need for a scholarly, comprehensive, affordable english language text addressing Latin American music. "Music in Latin American Culture Regional Traditions" provides a schoarly look at thediverse musical cultures of Mexico, Central America, South America and theCaribbean.Each chapter is written by an expert in the field who has firsthand experiences with the culture they are discussing.The text coversmusic rituals, instrument manufacturing, improvisation techniques andculural/social history of the topic under discussion. Thebibliography/discography at the end of each chapter is extensive.Thistext is geared towards the undergraduate student and is similar in contextto Jeff Todd Titon's "Worlds of Music:An Introduction to the Musicof the World's Peoples" by the same publisher.My only criticism ofthe book that the Cuban and Puerto Rican contributions to Latin AmericanMusic are not covered as thoroughly as they deserve.I believe thatalthough each is mentioned in the text that they, too, deserve an entiredchapter in the text.....maybe in the next edition.With the exception ofthis perceived oversight, the "Music in Latin American CultureRegional Traditions" is an excellent book, filling a much needed gapin scholarly writing on Latin American Music and is a wonderfulintroduction for those seeking to study the musics of Latin America. ...
