Mi nombre es Gersam Pastor Tuckler Hernández. Nací en Managua, Nicaragua el 30 de Marzo, de 1937. Obtuve mi diploma de Bachiller de Ciencias y Letras, del Instituto Pedagogico de Varones, conocido como Colegio de los Hermanos Cristianos La Salle, el 18 de Febrero de 1956. También recibí mi diploma de Inspector de Sanamiento Rural, en Febrero de 1965, del Gobierno de Nicaragua. Obtuve un Certificado de Asistente de Refineria de Petroleo de Exxon Standard Oil. Después de muchos empleos que tuve sin éxitos, incluyendo la ayuda que aportaba en la Farmacia de mi madre, me dediqué al Teatro, dando shows de baile y cantos, incluyendo tocando piano en restaurantes y escuelas públicas. Al fin de decidí salir del país. Mis padres estuvieron de acuerdo, y salí para New York City el 4 de Julio de 1965. El primer trabajo decente que encontré fue en Bulova Watch Co. Estuve trabajando por 20 años desempeñado varios otros empleos. Me casé con una muchacha nicaragüense, hasta la fecha de hoy. Recibí mi Diploma de Asociado en Ciencia en Marzo, 19 de 1978 del Colegio de la Comunidad de la Ciudad de Nueva York. Obtuve mi grado de Sargento con la Policía Auxiliar de la ciudad de Nueva York en 1979, y al mismo tiempo fui miembro de la Banda Musical de Policía Auxiliar, tocando el piano. Me retiré en 1999. Durante mi estadía en New York, principié a escribir poemas a mi familia, y amigas. He escrito casi 200 composiciones musicales para piano, así como canciones románticas, y melodías bailables. Toqué la marimba nicaragüense y piano en shows especiales, cuando me invitaban. A mi padre le agradezco por ingresarme a este noble pasatiempo. Cuando nosotros nicaragüenses nos invitaban a cualquier evento familiar, siempre, a como cualquier grupo étnico lo hace, se formaba un grupo para contar aventuras cuando vivíamos en nuestra tierra. Se hablaba más de política, comparando las diferencias de comunismo, dictadura y república. Sin darnos cuenta el tiempo había pasado tan rápido que veíamos los rayos matutinos entran por las ventanas. Nos prometíamos llamarnos por teléfono, pero yo nunca recibí alguna. Y siempre alguien sugería que se podía escribir un libro con tantas cosas que se oía cada vez que nos reuníamos cuando éramos invitados a alguna fiesta. Yo había escrito muchos poemas y canciones. Lo mismo que escribir la música de mis canciones que eran casi como 200 de ellas. Principié a buscar publicadores que encontraba atrás de libros en las bibliotecas públicas. Siempre había una razón para rechazar mis anhelos. Algunos gerentes de librerías, no sabían, y me aconsejaban que lo hiciera en el extranjero, como Colombia, Méjico, España, República Dominicana. Escribía cartas, llamaba por teléfono a ciertos lugares que encontraba en las "páginas amarillas". Nada encontraba. En Julio de 2010, mi esposa y yo, cambiamos de domicilio, y nos venimos a Virginia. Bueno, leyendo los periódicos dominicales, encontré lo que siempre buscaba. Palibrio, una publicadora en español, ofrecían lo que yo anhelaba. Bueno, y en eso estamos ahora.

Singers and teachers may use descriptive annotations (language, poet) or pedagogical annotations (range, tessitura) to determine which pieces are appropriate for their voices or programming needs, or those of their students.

This book, the first of its kind to be published in English, introduces the reader to the rich heritage of Spanish song. Here in one volume are the texts of over 300 songs with parallel translations in accurate and readable English. The majority are love poems, which form a fascinating anthology of Spanish poetry from the thirteenth to the twentieth century. The introduction by Graham Johnson, who in recent years has done more than anyone to kindle interest in the international song repertoire, traces the history of Spanish song from its beginnings, via the period of the Catholic kings in the fifteenth century, the Golden Age of the sixteenth, through to the remarkable rebirth in the twentieth century. All the songs and cycles frequently heard in recital are gathered here: Albeniz, Falla, Granados, Rodrigo and Obradors are generously represented, as well as Catalan composers such as Montsalvatge and Mompou. The volume is arranged chronologically by composer, and includes notes on all the major poets and composers, a discography, and names and addresses of the music publishers. The Spanish Song Companion is a much-needed volume and will be welcomed by singers, students of Spanish literature, concert-goers and record-collectors throughout the English-speaking world.

Selected verse from the poet who "expanded the scope of lyric poetry" (Rafael Campo, The Washington Post). The work of Federico García Lorca, Spain's greatest modernist poet, has long been admired for its emotional intensity and metaphorical brilliance. The revised Selected Verse, which incorporates changes made to García Lorca's Collected Poems, is an essential addition to any poetry lover's bookshelf. In this bilingual edition, García Lorca's poetic range comes clearly into view, from the playful Suites and stylized evocations of Andalusia to the utter gravity and mystery of the final elegies, confirming his stature as one of the twentieth century's finest poets.

As part of the larger, ongoing movement throughout Latin America to reclaim non-Hispanic cultural heritages and identities, indigenous writers in Mexico are reappropriating the written word in their ancestral tongues and in Spanish. As a result, the long-marginalized, innermost feelings, needs, and worldviews of Mexico's ten to twenty million indigenous peoples are now being widely revealed to the Western societies with which these peoples coexist. To contribute to this process and serve as a bridge of intercultural communication and understanding, this groundbreaking, three-volume anthology gathers works by the leading generation of writers in thirteen Mexican indigenous languages: Nahuatl, Maya, Tzotzil, Tzeltal, Tojolabal, Tabasco Chontal, Purepecha, Sierra Zapoteco, Isthmus Zapoteco, Mazateco, Ñahñu, Totonaco, and Huichol. Volume Two contains poetry by Mexican indigenous writers. Their poems appear first in their native language, followed by English and Spanish translations. Montemayor and Frischmann have abundantly annotated the Spanish, English, and indigenous-language texts and added glossaries and essays that discuss the formal and linguistic qualities of the poems, as well as their place within contemporary poetry. These supporting materials make the anthology especially accessible and interesting for nonspecialist readers seeking a greater understanding of Mexico's indigenous peoples.

A revised edition of this major writer's complete poetical work And I who was walking with the earth at my waist, saw two snowy eagles and a naked girl. The one was the other and the girl was neither. -from "Qasida of the Dark Doves" Federico García Lorca was the most beloved poet of twentieth-century Spain and one of the world's most influential modernist writers. His work has long been admired for its passionate urgency and haunting evocation of sorrow and loss. Perhaps more persistently than any writer of his time, he sought to understand and accommodate the numinous sources of his inspiration. Though he died at age thirty-eight, he left behind a generous body of poetry, drama, musical arrangements, and drawings, which continue to surprise and inspire. Christopher Maurer, a leading García Lorca scholar and editor, has brought together new and substantially revised translations by twelve poets and translators, placed side by side with the Spanish originals. The seminal volume Poet in New York is also included here in its entirety. This is the most comprehensive collection in English of a poet who—as Maurer writes in his illuminating introduction—"spoke unforgettably of all that most interests us: the otherness of nature, the demons of personal identity and artistic creation, sex, childhood, and death."

Few Mexican musicians in the twentieth century achieved as much notoriety or had such an international impact as the popular singer and songwriter Agustín Lara (1897-1970). Widely known as "el flaco de oro" ("the Golden Skinny"), this remarkably thin fellow was prolific across the genres of bolero, ballad, and folk. His most beloved "Granada", a song so enduring that it has been covered by the likes of Mario Lanza, Frank Sinatra, and Placido Domingo, is today a standard in the vocal repertory. However, there exists very little biographical literature on Lara in English. In Agustín Lara: A Cultural Biography, author Andrew Wood's informed and informative placement of Lara's work in a broader cultural context presents a rich and comprehensive reading of the life of this significant musical figure. Lara's career as a media celebrity as well as musician provides an excellent window on Mexican society in the mid-twentieth century and on popular culture in Latin America. Wood also delves into Lara's music itself, bringing to light how the composer's work unites a number of important currents in Latin music of his day, particularly the bolero. With close musicological focus and in-depth cultural analysis riding alongside the biographical narrative, Agustin Lara: A Cultural Biography is a welcome read to aficionados and performers of Latin American musics, as well as a valuable addition to the study of modern Mexican music and Latin American popular culture as a whole.

Partiendo de Debussy y llegando a Steve Reich. O empezando por Ablinger y acabando por Zimmerman. O arrancando en el impresionismo y siguiendo hasta la electroacústica. El lector puede elegir su forma de lectura en este libro torrencial, quizá el más completo escrito hasta la fecha, y no solo en español, sobre el complicado y muy diverso escenario de la música contemporánea durante el siglo XX. Vertebrada sobre itinerarios estéticos, la presente guía no deja de ser una historia de la música del siglo XX. La gran diferencia respecto a los manuales de historia estriba en la importancia que en este libro cobra el compositor, que junto al sonido es el eje fundamental del relato. (De la Introducción del autor). Relato es la palabra clave para un libro llamado a convertirse en un clásico: una obra llena de erudición, exhaustiva y utilísima como manual de referencia. Pero impregnada a la vez de amor por la música, de buen pulso narrativo y de una notable capacidad crítica.
