SKU: GI.G-10542 Free Your Shoulder Region through Body Mapping. Composed by Jennifer Johnson. Body Mapping. Music Education. 184 pages. GIA Publications #10542. Published by GIA Publications (GI.G-10542). ISBN 9781622775927. Pain in the shoulder region is one of the most common problems afflicting instrumentalists, vocalists, and conductors alike. Musician, Heal Thyself! uses the principles of Body Mapping to free musicians of their shoulder pain, injury, and limitations, leading to more expressive and healthy music making. While keenly aware of the importance of whole-body balance and context, author Jennifer Johnson presents the four most common patterns that cause shoulder pain and fatigue, along with guidance on how to “remap†the body for healthier whole arm movements in playing, singing, and conducting. Also included in the book are anatomical images for remapping and many photographs of world-class musicians who exhibit exemplary arm movement and a free shoulder region in their performances. Especially helpful are the book’s movement exploration activities, online video links, and the appendix, which outlines the functions of the shoulder region muscles in layman’s vocabulary. A healthier approach to music making begins today with the ideas and insights presented in Musician, Heal Thyself! Jennifer Johnson is a licensed and internationally sought-after lecturer on Body Mapping, teaching musicians how to move according to the design of their bodies to address and prevent playing injuries. She maintains an active private violin studio, performs regularly, and is the author of three books on Body Mapping.  Musician, Heal Thyself! is an invaluable resource for performers and teachers at every level. The material is so clearly elucidated and its concepts immediately useful and empowering. I love this book! —Carol Rodland, violist   Viola and Chamber Music Faculty, The Juilliard School After doing several of the very clear and thorough explorations in Jennifer Johnson’s new book, my arms had the freedom and ease of a child’s, and I felt a corresponding ease in my trumpet posture and sound. Emotional re-mapping is also part of any physical improvement, and Ms. Johnson describes that aspect of the process clearly and compassionately. I recommend this book for all musicians seeking to express their music with efficiency, freedom, and beauty. —Jeffrey Reynolds, trumpet   Associate Professor, Faculty of Music, University of Toronto For years, I stubbornly ignored my body’s messages because I was afraid to find out I was 'doing everything wrong.' But Jennifer’s wealth of experience working with musicians and her compassionate approach in Musician, Heal Thyself! have made playing more fun and less painful. Why did I wait so long? —Nathan Cole, First Assistant Concertmaster, Los Angeles Philharmonic   Founder of natesviolin.com. $29.95 - See more - Buy onlinePre-shipment lead time: 1 to 2 weeks | | |

SKU: GI.G-10374 The Abbey Psalms and Canticles. Composed by Michel Guimont. Sacred. 216 pages. GIA Publications #10374. Published by GIA Publications (GI.G-10374). ISBN 9781622775347. English. Text Source: Refs. Lectionary for Mass, vv. The Abbey Psalms and Canticles A complete set of responsorial psalms for Sundays, solemnities, and feasts of the Lord throughout the three-year Lectionary cycle. About the text: The Abbey Psalms and Canticles find their source in the 1963 English language Grail Translation of the Psalms. The Grail Psalms themselves have their origin in the French Bible de Jerusalem which sought to faithfully capture the text stresses or sprung rhythm, of the original Hebrew. The Grail Psalms underwent minor revisions in the 1980s and 1990s. The release of the document Liturgiam authenticam in 2001 required that the Grail Psalms be revised again for use in Roman Catholic liturgy, this time under the direction of Abbot Gregory Polan and the monks of Conception Abbey. Their careful editing and scholarship produced the Revised Grail Psalms in 2010. However, this translation would undergo further (slight) revisions in 2018 leading to the publication in 2020 of The Abbey Psalms and Canticles About the music: Since their publication in 1994, the psalm refrain settings and psalm tones of Canadian composer Michel Guimont have enjoyed wide popularity in North America. These psalm settings have been included as the lectionary psalter in a number of GIA hymnals and have a harmonic freshness and flexibility in performance that makes them a unique and enduring contribution to the Church’s song.  . $36.95 - See more - Buy onlinePre-shipment lead time: 1 to 2 weeks | | |
