  Handel’s Music for the Royal Fireworks and  Water Music, two of his greatest orchestral achievements, have become synonymous with mid-18th-century England and with the pomp, ceremony and tradition of British royalty. But is this music necessarily synonymous with Handel? Where did his eclecticism and experimentalism come from? How and why did he conquer the emerging genre of the English oratorio and what were the circumstances that allowed him to become one of opera’s greatest composers? This revealing audio biography is accompanied by musical examples drawn from his orchestral and instrumental music, his cantatas, oratorios, operas and those two famous royal commissions.

  In Pop Masculinities, author Kai Arne Hansen investigates the performance and policing of masculinity in pop music as a starting point for grasping the broad complexity of gender and its politics in the early twenty-first century. Drawing together perspectives from critical musicology, gender studies, and adjacent scholarly fields, the book presents extended case studies of five well-known artists: Zayn, Lil Nas X, Justin Bieber, The Weeknd, and Take That.By directing particular attention to the ambiguities and contradictions that arise from these artists' representations of masculinity, Hansen argues that pop performances tend to operate in ways that simultaneously reinforce and challenge gender norms and social inequalities. Providing a rich exploration of these murky waters, Hansen merges the interpretation of recorded song and music video with discourse analysis and media ethnography in order to engage with the full range of pop artists' public identities as they emerge at the intersections between processes of performance, promotion, and reception. In so doing, he advances our understanding of the aesthetic and discursive underpinnings of gender politics in twenty-first century pop culture and encourages listeners to contemplate the sociopolitical implications of their own musical engagements as audiences, critics, musicians, andscholars.

  "Fierce Love" is a memoir that tells the story of British artist Adrian Snell and his Christian music, while also introducing the reader to the world of music therapy. It chronicles the career of Adrian as one of the most prolific artists of faith in his field. As his career evolves, children continue to be a window into new perspectives and ideas. 
  
   
  Adrian ultimately decides to give up the "artist" life, disillusioned by a repeating pattern of struggles in order to allow the music to be heard by a broader audience. After a time of soul-searching, he makes a life-altering decision to train as a music therapist. He not only rediscovers his purpose but also gains a new perspective on the impact of music.
  
   
  He later reconnects with his audience; a "lost child" once again "found" with a fresh appreciation for the arts and the implications of unconditional love and acceptance. The story, however, is not over. A private revelation also allows him to look back on his storied career and personal life with new eyes.
