This limited edition silver-embossed, facsimile-autographed, slipcase holds both books. These books are essential for anyone who is interested in a comprehensive account of the modern guitar, and how a highly responsive guitar is made. They offer info from one of the most-revered luthiers of our times. No publication has ever presented trade secrets and practical information to truly change the way a person makes or appreciates the steel-stringed guitar. Ervin Somogyi is a Hungarian-born master luthier whose guitars are renowned for their responsiveness and tone - trademarks for a great guitar. After almost five decades of making this instrument, teaching and writing about the development and construction of the guitar, Somogyi reveals the methods, techniques and philosophy behind his legendary instruments. The Responsive Guitar is about physics, dynamics, acoustics and construction of the guitar. It's about the mechanics of tone; what materials to build with, when to add or remove wood for maximum benefit, and why those techniques work. Somogyi explains in exquisite detail how the guitar makes sound, and what musicians and luthiers need to know in order to appreciate a really well-made guitar. This book sets the foundation for the matching volume Making the Responsive Guitar. Making the Responsive Guitar is the second volume on a two-volume set of books that set out the principles and methods of building fine hand-made guitars. Where Volume 1 sets up the knowledge, this book is about how to build a guitar, from the very first step to the last.

Jeremy Jackman has brought his wealth of experience as a choral conductor to create a new set of practical and highly attractive short Wedding Responses for upper voices. The texts are from the traditional rite of the Book of Common Prayer, much favoured for its qualities of solemnity and occasion. Reminiscent of the ceremonial styles of Bliss and Walton, the music of each brief response is both contemporary and accessible in style, yet is easy to perform and well within the ability range of a typical church choir, whether using trebles or mixed voices.

Chorus Composed: 2013 Published by: Dunstan House This collection of choral responses includes thirty items, ten each of Introits, Prayer Responses and Benedictions, divided equally into 15 for SATB and 15 for SAB choirs. Where a particular text may appear more than once, the settings are completely different from each other; there are no cases of simplifying an SATB title for SAB use, nor of thickening an SAB original for SATB ensembles. Although intended to be sung a cappella, there is no practical objection to a bit of discrete keyboard support if that will bring the pieces within more confident reach of the choir. Difficulty: Moderate.
