George Gershwin is often described as a quintessentially American composer. This Cambridge Companion explains why, engaging with the ways in which his music was shaped by American political, intellectual, cultural and business interests. As a composer and performer, Gershwin embraced technological advances and broke new ground in music business practices. In the decades preceding World War II, he captured the mechanistic pulse of modern life with his concert works and lay the groundwork for the Great American Songbook with his Broadway shows and film music. With his brother Ira, and his cousins Henry and B. A. Botkin, Gershwin explored various ethnic and cultural identities and contemplated their roles in US culture. His music confronted race during the Jim Crow era and continues to engage with issues of race today. This interdisciplinary exploration of Gershwin's life and music describes his avowed pursuit of an 'American' musical identity and its ongoing legacy.

Dare to believe and be encouraged.
Format: Kindle
This book has increased my faith, and I believe every word written in this book as my spirit bears witness to these writings. All I think about now is visiting heaven, and being able to speak to the saints. The word says we will do the works that Jesus did, and I use to think just about healing, but Jesus did so much more. He raised the dead, walked on water, walked through walls. It's time to think out of the box and into the supernatural.

I often wondered why God took Enoch home before his time was up here on earth. I also wondered who the two witnesses in the book of Revelation would be. I guessed correctly. This book answers those questions by the two witnesses themselves.I enjoyed reading Matthew's book and would recommend it to those who also wonder like me!

Mind-blowing and revealing! Putting the puzzle pieces together with an interview with both Enoch and Elijah to make sense out of the witnesses in Revelation.

Too "out there" for me.
Format: Kindle
Not judging, as I can only speak for myself. Just had to put it down and walk away, because it didn't ring true in my spirit.
