New York: Garland Publishing. Very Good with no dust jacket. 1985. Hardcover. 0824088727 . Ink note on rear paste-down, otherwise slight wear. Crisp hardcover. ; "This volume is concerned with the efforts of a number of [Victorian] musicians, both professional and amateur, to write appropriate settings for poems by Tennyson. Strict technical analysis is for others to pursue. Attention here is directed toward the relevance of the settings to the poems for which they are written. My aim has been to gather the poems and the settings into a useful whole." - Introduction. Contents: Queen of the May / Mrs. Robert Arkwright; The splendour falls on castle walls / J.G.

First Edition [Stated], First Printing [Stated]. Hardcover. Very good/Very good. vi, 449, [7] pages. Frontis illustration. Notes. Bibliography. Index. Inscribed by Nadine on title page. Nadine Cohodas is the author of several books, most recently Queen: The Life and Music of Dinah Washington, which received an award for Excellence in Research in Recorded Jazz Music from the Association for Recorded Sound Collections. This is a complete account of the triumphs and difficulties of Nina Simone. Her distinctive voice and music occupy a singular place in the canon of American song. Tapping into newly unearthed material--including stories of family and career--Nadine Cohodas gives us a luminous portrait of the singer who was born Eunice Waymon. We see her as a talented child who is trained in classical piano through the auspices of a white woman. We witness her disappointment when she is rejected by the Curtis Institute of Music--a dream deferred that would forever shape her self-image as well as her music. Yet by 1959--now calling herself Nina Simone--she was on her way. As we watch Simone's exciting rise to stardom, Cohodas weaves in the central factors of her life and career: her relationship with her audiences; her involvement in the civil rights movement; her marriages; the alienation from the United States that drove her to live abroad. Alongside these threads runs a darker one, her lifelong struggle to overcome a deep sense of personal injustice, which persisted even as she won international renown. "Princess Noire" is a fascinating story, thoroughly documented with intimate photos--a treatment that captures the passions of Nina's life., Pantheon Books, 2010, 3<
