This book was released on 2011-08-31. Big Bangs available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. The dramatic story of five key turning points in a thousand years of Western music - discoveries that changed the course of history. Who first invented 'Doh Re Mi...'? What do we mean by "in tune"? Looking back down the corridor of a thousand years, Howard Goodall guides us through the stories of five seismic developments in the history of Western music. His "big bangs" may not be the ones we expect - some are surprising and some are so obvious we overlook them - but all have had an extraordinary impact. Goodall starts with the invention of notation by an 11th-century Italian monk, which removed the creation of music from the hands of the players to the pens of the composers; moves on to the first opera; then to the invention of the piano, and ends with the story of the first recording made in history. Howard Goodall has the gift of making these complicated musical advances both clear and utterly fascinating. Racy and vivid in a narrative full of colourful characters and graphic illustrations of technical processes, he also gives a wonderful sense of the culture of trial and error and competition, be it in 11th-century Italy or 19th-century America, in which all progress takes place. Big Bangs opens a window on the crucial moments in our musical culture - discoveries that made possible everything from Bach to the Beatles - and tells us a riveting story of a millennium of endeavour.

This book was released on 2015-04-10. Stickman available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Emmett Chapman did more than simply create a new musical instrument (as if that's simple). He discovered, developed and refined a new way for musicians to interact with stringed and fretted musical instruments. Along the way, a community gathered around this new instrument and a rich, new musical vocabulary emerged. This is his story. The Chapman Stick is a 5 and 1/4 octave, stringed and fretted musical instrument played with a two-handed tapping technique. Both the instrument and the technique were created by American musician and inventor Emmett Chapman. To date there are thousands of Stick players all around the world creating new, innovative music with The Stick on some of the biggest concert stages, small clubs, coffee houses and even in their parent's basements. This is the story of the man who created this new musical instrument, his music and the community that has grown around both. ---------------------------------------- "Creation is a dream or an imagining about something existing that may never exist, but does exist in your mind and in your heart. It comes from your experience and it comes from stretching what you know is possible to include the improbable... In the dream somehow the new way of imagining away from a problem creates the solution that was never there before." - Emmett's childhood friend Bill Kettman discussing Emmett and The Stick. "I blended my creation-from-the-heart with the aspirations of other musicians, and almost got drowned out in the process. The rewards for such sacrifice may seem distant and less personal but are immense." - Emmett From Chapter 1 - Evolution: "The room is silent. The audience has remembered that dimmed house lights signal the beginning of a performance. Quickly, burbling conversations dry up. Attention focuses. In the instant between the end of old banter and the potential to begin anew, a rich baritone voice fills the auditorium from unseen loud speakers: "Would You Welcome Please..." (The voice rises ever so slightly, perhaps this is a question) "Would you welcome please, Emmett Chapman." The name comes on an exhale, a downbeat. The name is a release. Shoulders drop..." And with that, the story begins...
