The Making of a Music Academy
This is a story of a music-training program at one among many American institutions of higher learning. These institutions accepted the challenge to evolve and develop training programs for music as part of a liberal arts education. Covering a period of more than one hundred years, the book discusses aspects of politics and the arts in America during the twentieth and early twenty-first centuries. It focuses upon faculty and administrative efforts to maintain a rich experience in the arts at a typical university in Midwestern America. It is a representative story that includes interviews with former faculty and administrators as well as with present faculty and alumni. It is a kind of arts-survival story presenting the argument that music is essential to the ideals of a complete education.

Hope Never Dies
Hope is one of the greatest feelings to guarantee the survival of human beings on their journey on Earth―a journey filled with apparently insurmountable struggles and challenges. Counterposing the popular saying “Hope is the last to die,” Paiva Netto brings forth an eloquent cry: Hope never dies! He draws inspiration from the incomparable example of obstinacy and Eternal Life which Jesus, the Christ of God, bequeathed to humankind, an example that is much stronger than the also incomparable martyrdom of crucifixion, never getting discouraged before Calvary. “As severe as storms may be, Jesus will always lead and strengthen those who, by loving Him and persevering beyond the end, will find the solutions for the pain of the people, since He will rebuke the winds, soothe the seas, and bring lasting calm.” While faced with the storms of existence, the pages of this book will be a beacon of light, extending its arms and guiding you to cross safely the tranquil waters of Accomplishing Faith, Perseverance, and the victory of Goodness.

Villa-Lobos and Modernism
Villa-Lobos and Modernism: The Apotheosis of Cannibal Music provides a new assessment of the Brazilian composer Heitor Villa-Lobos in terms of his contributions to the Modernist Movement of the twentieth century. In this profound study, Ricardo Averbach elevates Cultural Cannibalism as a major manifestation of the Modernist aesthetics and Villa-Lobos as its top exponent in the music field. Villa-Lobos’s anthropophagic appetite for multiple opposing aesthetics enlightens through the juxtaposition of contradictory elements, leaving a legacy of unmatched originality, a glittering kaleidoscope of sounds that draw from the radical power of Josephine Baker to the outrageous extravagance of Carme...
