From Celine Dion's album Loved Me Back to Life comes this new ballad, perfect for a concert or graduation theme. Quickly learned, with an encouraging hook: 'Cause we're all unfinished songs, waiting for the best part to come along?we're all pictures half drawn, we can be anything we want.' / Choeur Mixte (SATB)

Slipknot, the instantly-recognisable heavy metal band from Des Moines, Iowa, shot to fame after the release of their first album in 1999, grabbing the attention of millions of adoring fans, and some not-so-adoring conservative commentators. From the first, Paul Harries photographed them on stage, backstage and through artistic eyes, and Dysfunctional Family Portraits is a fascinatingly creative look at this distinctive band.The name Dysfunctional Family Portraits perfectly sums up the band, a dysfunctional melee of chaos and aggressive music, while the humans behind the monstrous masks remained truly close, and their camaraderie comes across in these intimate photographic portraits. The energy and chaos of their live shows is particularly well-captured by Harries' brilliant shots, showing them in their natural habitat: that of loud, sweaty, energetic and adrenaline-fuelled music.Throughout Dysfunctional Family Portraits, Paul Harries guides the reader on a journey from Slipknot's beginnings with their truly terrifying masks and red boiler suits, through their changing looks and their artistic developments. As Paul Harries says, being a rock photographer is not an easy task. You have to be able to capture personality and the essence of a musical style in a visual medium. But photographing Slipknot is a whole new endeavour, capturing masked madmen straight out of a horror film while maintaining order among the chaos must have been difficult, but the brilliance of this book is testament to his ability as a photographer.Featuring full colour photographs of Slipknot throughout their journey as a band, you will get to see exclusive backstage antics, dynamic shots of their legendary live shows, as well as hundreds of other behind-the-scenes pictures and words from Harries and members of the band. Perfect for a Slipknot fan, but also ideal for anyone interested in modern heavy metal music or even darkly comic theatrics. A ridiculously entertaining band, the vibrant photographs in Dysfunctional Family Portraits are full of life and full of the energy that Slipknot, as a band, have transmitted through their music. / Livre

Par MOZART WOLFGANG AMADEUS. Due to numerous customer requests, Bärenreiter will be successively offering vocal scores to major Mozart operas in hardback editions again. This means you now have the choice: perhaps you prefer a lower-priced and slightly lighter soft-cover edition with excellent lay-flat characteristics or you feel that sturdier hardcover editions of important repertoire works are more likely to survive the rigours of a musician's life. Our vocal score to 'Don Giovanni” K. 527 (BA 4550-93) is the first edition we have now published in a hardback version. The vocal score of this ingenious opera by Mozart contains the original Prague version of 1787, which, due to its musical and dramaturgical coherence, should unquestionably be preferred to any hybrid versions. The changes made for the Vienna performances of 1788 are included in the appendix. Based on the research findings published in 2003 in the Critical Commentary to the respective music volume of the 'New Mozart Edition” (Volume II/5/17), the highest musicological standards have been adhered to in this vocal score edition./ Répertoire / Chant et Piano
