Audiokniha: Píše se rok 1946. Druhá světová válka skončila a po celém světě začínají mladé ženy plnit sliby, které daly mužům, za něž se během války provdaly. V australském Sydney se čtyři ženy připojí k dalším šest set padesáti válečným nevěstám na neobvyklé cestě do Anglie na letadlové lodi Victoria, která převáží nejen zbraně a letadla, ale i tisíc námořních důstojníků. A byť na palubě panují přísná pravidla, životy cestujících se začnou přes hrozbu přísných sankcí proplétat. A Frances Mackenziové, komplikované mladé ženě, utíkající před minulostí, změní tato plavba navždy život… Na základě skutečné události. Jojo Moyesová (* 1969) vystudovala na University of London žurnalistiku a novinařině se věnovala po deset let – pracovala pro britský deník The Independent a pobývala též v Hongkongu jako dopisovatelka listu Sunday Morning Post. V roce 2002 debutovala románem Schovej mě v dešti (Sheltering Rain), inspirovaným osudy jejích prarodičů, a od té doby je spisovatelkou na volné noze. Je autorkou více než desítky románů, její parketou jsou především romantické příběhy, které se však vyhýbají tradičním žánrovým klišé a za nimiž se skrývá vážnější podtext. Jejích knih se prodalo na 50 milionů výtisků po celém světě a jsou překládány do 46 jazyků. Jojo Moyesová je také jednou z mála autorek, která získala dvakrát prestižní britské ocenění Romantic Novel of The Year Award, která už od roku 1960 udílí The Romantic Novelists’ Association – v roce 2004 ho získala za Zakázané ovoce (česky 2018) a v roce 2011 za Poslední dopis od tvé lásky (2013). Největší čtenářské odezvy se však autorka dočkala s fenomenálnímNež jsem tě poznala (2012, česky 2013), jenž se později dočkal i filmového zpracování a dvou pokračování. Spisovatelka žije s manželem, novinářem Charlesem Arthurem, a jejich třemi dětmi na farmě v hrabství Essex. Je velkou milovnicí koní a také vášnivou jezdkyní. Martina Hudečková (* 1964) se narodila v Praze. Vystudovala konzervatoř a věnuje se především divadlu, nejčastěji žánru konverzační komedie. Celých třináct let byla členkou Divadla Jiřího Wolkera, později působila například v pražské Redutě. V současné době spolupracuje s divadlem Palace. Vedle divadla je její hlavní doménou dabing, v němž se vypracovala na jednu nejobsazovanějších hereček. Několik let dabovala postavu Kelly Taylorové v seriálu Beverly Hills 90210, svůj podmanivý hlas propůjčila rovněž René Zellwegerové (Deník Bridget Jonesové), Helen Huntové (Vějíř lady Windermerové) či Jennifer Greyové (Hříšný tanec).

Very Short Introductions: Brilliant, Sharp, InspiringThe world teems with different kinds of music - traditional, folk, classical, jazz, rock, pop - and each type of music tends to come with its own way of thinking. Drawing on a wealth of accessible examples ranging from Beethoven to Chinese zither music, this Very Short Introduction considers the history of music and thinking about music, focussing on its social and cultural dimensions. Nicholas Cook balances the Western Classical traditions within the context of many other musical cultures in today''s world, tracing the way in which their development since the eighteenth century has conditioned present-day thinking and practice both within and beyond the West.

In this new edition Cook explores the impact of digital technology on the production and consumption of music, including how it has transformed participatory music-making and the music business. He also discusses music''s position in a globalized world, from the role it played in historical processes of colonisation and decolonisation to its present-day significance as a vehicle of cross-cultural communication.

Four Ways of Hearing Video Game Music offers a novel account of the ways in which video games invite us to hear and listen to their music. By taking a phenomenological approach to characterize music in video games, author Michiel Kamp asks what it is we hear in the music when we play a game. Drawing on past phenomenological approaches to music as well as studies of music listening in a variety of disciplines such as aesthetics and ecological psychology, Kamp explains four main ways of hearing the same piece of music--through background, aesthetic, ludic, and semiotic hearing. As a background, music is not attended to at all, but can still be described in terms of moods, affordances, or equipment. Aesthetic hearing is a reflective attitude that invites hermeneutic interpretation; ludic hearing on the other hand invites "playing along" to the music, either through embodied movement, or in response to the music''s cinematic or theatrical connotations. Finally, in semiotic hearing, Kamp argues that we hear music as transparent symbols or signals that provide information about the state of a game. The book investigates these four categories through detailed case studies of video games from a variety of eras and genres accompanied by gameplay recordings and images on a companion website.

In recent years, a wave of scientific research has upended everything we once knew about its effects on our brains: not only in reducing stress, but also in enhancing cognitive function, slowing the spread of neurodegenerative diseases like Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s, even strengthening our immune systems.Here, a neuroscientist and celebrated musician introduces a bold new paradigm for medical treatment, rooted in the unexpected influence of music on our minds and bodies.

The result is both a surprising tour through the science of music, and a joyful celebration of humanity’s oldest obsession._''For many years I have wondered why a bunch of frequencies organised into a piece of music has the ability, even without words, to make the listener cry and become emotional.

Music is shaped by the science of sound. How can music - an artform - have anything to do with science? Yet there are myriad ways in which the two are intertwined, from the basics of music theory and the design of instruments to hi-fi systems and how the brain processes music.Science writer Andrew May traces the surprising connections between science and music, from the theory of sound waves to the way musicians use mathematical algorithms to create music.The most obvious impact of science on music can be seen in the way electronic technology has revolutionised how we create, record and listen to music. Technology has also provided new insights into the effects that different music has on the brain, to the extent that some algorithms can now predict our reactions with uncanny accuracy, which raises a worrying question: how long will it be before AI can create music on a par with humans?

Thinking Musically incorporates music from many diverse cultures and establishes the framework for exploring the practice of music around the world. It sets the stage for an array of case-study volumes, each of which focuses on a single area of the world. Each case study uses the contemporary musical situation as a point of departure, covering historical information and traditions as they relate to the present.The islands of Melanesia, Micronesia, and Polynesia are steeped in diverse musical traditions that reach far beyond the expanse of the Pacific Ocean. Music in Pacific Island Cultures is the first brief, single-volume text to provide a thematic, succinct introduction to the music of the Pacific Islands--a region of the world that has long been under-represented in ethnomusicological studies.Based on the authors'' extensive fieldwork and experiences in Pacific Island cultures, the text draws on interviews with performers, eyewitness accounts of performances, vivid illustrations, and insights gained from ongoing participation in Pacific music. The authors use four themes--colonialism, belief systems, musical flows, and the re/presentation of Pacific cultures--to survey the region and draw parallels and contrasts between its various musical traditions.Packaged with a 70-minute audio CD containing musical examples discussed in the book, Music in Pacific Island Cultures features numerous listening activities that engage students with the music.

Ed Le Brocq invites you to come on a journey with him through a living tradition that spans a millennium - the tradition of Western classical music. Have you ever wondered where our music comes from? How did we arrive here, a place where we can have a hundred musicians on stage executing the wildest rhythms, a singer performing the most heartbreaking of melodies, or a solitary pianist playing an instrument that weighs half a tonne? How did the melodies and harmonies we listen to today, right now, come about? Ed Le Brocq invites you on a journey through a living tradition that spans millennia: the tradition of Western classical music. With Ed, you will roam its magnificently bendy path, from the Mesopotamians to the mediaeval age to music composed just last week by Australia's most creative minds. You will discover how notes from the Indus Valley influenced the development of scales by Pythagoras and his mates in Ancient Greece, finding their way through the Romans into church music of the Middle Ages, and why some of those notes were banned. You'll find out how the invention of clocks changed rhythm, how pianos changed society, which composer was afraid of the number thirteen (and why we should be a little afraid of their music) and which composer had two skulls in their grave. This canter through the development of one of humankind's greatest achievements will delight and exhilarate you and have you listening to music with fresh ears.

For more than thirty years Francesco Lotoro, an Italian pianist and composer has been on an odyssey to recover music written by the inmates of Adolf Hitler''s concentration camps and the gulags of Stalin''s Soviet Union. Between 1933, the year of the opening of the Dachau Lager in Germany, to Stalin''s death in 1953 when thousands of Soviet prisoners were released, Lotoro pieces together the human stories of survivors whose only salvation was their love of music.Across three decades of relentless investigation, his findings as captured in Lost Music of the Holocaust are extraordinary and historically important. Lotoro unearthed over eight thousand unpublished works of music, ten thousand documents (microfilms, diaries, notebooks, and recordings on phonographic recordings), as well as locating and interviewing many survivors who in a previous life had been trained musicians and composers. Be it a symphony, an opera, a simple folk song or even a gypsy melody, Lotor has travelled the globe to track them down. Many pieces were hastily scribbled down ow whatever the composer could find: food wrappings, a vegetable sack and even a train ticket stub. To avoid discover by camp guards, Lotoro even discovered forgotten pieces of code inmates had invented to hide their real meaning - music. In many cases, the composers would be murdered in the gas chambers or worked to death, not knowing whether their music would be heard by the world. Until now.Their stories and their music adds colour and humanity to the horrors of the Holocaust and of Stalin''s oppressive rule.
