Fifty years. 350 million readers in 75 countries. 2 600 newspapers in 21 languages. Four feature films and over 60 beloved TV specials. One cast of characters: Peanuts?. Lovingly rendered by the late Charles Schulz Peanuts is much more than a simple comic strip. Charlie Brown Linus Lucy and of course Snoopy have sneaked into our psyche and become international symbols of purity and happiness. Schulz created the characters but it was the music of Vince Guaraldi that gave them life. Pre-Peanuts Bay Area pianist and composer Guaraldi was best known for penning the standard ?Cast Your Fate to the Wind ? but his own fate would soon change; when producer LeeMendelson solicited him to score a documentary on Schulz and subsequent television specials Guaraldi's music became inextricably linked with Peanuts. Through the swinging beats of ?Linus & Lucy? on the soundtrack to A Boy Named Charlie Brown and the festive refrains on the holiday classic A Charlie Brown Christmas he and his trio introduced millions of people to jazz in the mid-'60s and far beyond. Now for the first time available with easy Piano arrangements this coffee-table quality songbook is a celebration of the art of Charles Schulz and the music of Vince Guaraldi. Within its stunning full-color high-gloss pages are: an introduction by veteran music journalist Hank Bordowitz which provides background on how the Schulz/Mendelson/Guaraldi collaboration came to be and reflections from fellow musicians influenced by Guaraldi's music; and Piano solo arrangements of 30 terrific tunes each featuring a Peanuts illustration by Schulz. The songs include: Baseball Theme Blue Charlie Brown The Christmas Song Christmas Time Is Here Frieda (With the Naturally Curly Hair) Great Pumpkin Waltz Happiness Theme Linus and Lucy Oh Good Grief The Pebble Beach Theme Peppermint Patty Red Baron Schroeder Skating and more. This book will be an absolute treasure for any Peanuts or jazz fan!

John Luther Adams' The Immeasurable Space Of Tones for Violin Vibraphone Piano sustaining Keyboard and Contrabass. Duration: 30 minutes. 'Number 5 1950 was MarkRothko's last painting before the breakthrough into his mature format. In it the luminous color fields of a classic Rothko are inscribed across the middle with three delicate lines. Describing thispainting and its pivotal position in Rothko's work Brian O'Doherty observes: 'After this the lines disappear completely.' In recent years gesture and figuration have disappeared from my music. What used to bebackground has emerged to become a musical world composed entirely of floating color fields. In this new world I've changed media moving from the orchestra to smaller combinations of acoustical instruments andelectronically-processed sounds. I still think in orchestral terms but this hybrid medium allows me to create orchestral textures for more practical and readily available ensembles. Initially I imagined this as akind of monolithic music -an entire piece as one rich and complex sound. Then I came to hear it as homophonic or heterophonic. And now -in this musical world that I thought was completely free of lines -I've come to hear apolyphony of harmonic clouds. Maybe the lines never disappear completely. Maybe Christian Wolff was right when he quipped: 'No matter what we do sooner or later it all sounds melodic'.' - John LutherAdams
