Book Description
What does music mean to you? Is it entertainment? Background noise? Or a consuming passion and constant presence in your life for as long as you can remember? For longtime music writer Jason Warburg, editor of indie album review site the Daily Vault, the answer has never been in doubt. Collecting 100 album reviews and artist interviews, plus a smattering of essays and concert reviews, My Heart Sings the Harmony is a love letter to rock and roll-and progressive rock, and power-pop, and jazz, and Americana, and, truth be told, popular music itself. If you've ever experienced a moment when it felt like music changed your life, this book was written for you. "Jason Warburg writes with an unreasonable amount of velocity and heart. My Heart Sings The Harmony is a gentle, funny and thoughtful reminder about why music makes us feel so much, and offers the kind of emotional honesty that we rarely see anymore. Each piece here is like a sepia snapshot of a forgotten time, but one that can be called back immediately in just one note-and it's in that one note where we feel most at home." -- Alex Green, editor of Stereo Embers magazine and author of Emergency Anthems "Jason Warburg is one of the finest music writers out there. My Heart Sings the Harmony demonstrates in a clear, passionate and unpretentious way the process of 'acquiring musical memories'-Warburg is out to celebrate and share what he loves and why. You'll more than likely be re-visiting some albums you may have given short shrift to, or searching for a new artist or album that, as Jason puts it, stops him in his tracks." -- Bernadette Quigley, music publicist, QuigleyMedia

Book Description
This author appreciates writing poetry, novels, childrens stories; the performing arts; and music of many genres. She was raised on gospel and country music played on an old Victrola phonograph with a black-and-white dog staring into a gramophone on the inside of the cover. Today, this author has become enamored with and is fangirling over country a cappella music, which is relatively new. Curious about the behind the scenes activities of a successful bands life, living on the edge of temptations in todays media-frenzied world, she created a believable group running through life on unbelievable favor, spearheaded by love between a wealthy, incredibly intelligent and beautiful African-American ballerina and a super talented tenor from the deep South and their unique way of overcoming racial issues with love. Murder, sex, and drugs fuel the life and romance of these two extraordinary, opposite, characters living and excelling way above the normal expectations of life, hinting into the cosmic pluralism like no one has ever experienced before. This author spent thirty-five years in the busy, topsy-turvy support area of corporate America, starting with the FBI and ending in the legal field, before being forced to retire on disability. This is her first adult romance novel. She writes and has published poetry on poetry.com with two poems published in anthologies; she was the author and publisher of Newsletters for Boy Scout Troop and Pack 731, The Indian Creek District, and for newsletters, service bulletins, and memorial programs for two churches.

Book Description
In the quiet chambers of my chest, Where silence weaves its sacred nest, My heart sings a melody, soft and true, A hymn to the universe, old and new. It echoes the rhythm of cosmic dance, A symphony of stardust, a cosmic trance, Each beat a mantra, a whispered prayer, Seeking the essence beyond time’s snare. Through valleys of longing and peaks of grace, My heart sings, seeking its destined place, In stillness, it finds the eternal refrain, A song of love, where all sorrows wane. So let it sing, this ancient, wordless art, A serenade to the cosmos, stitched with stardust, My heart, a celestial harp, forever free, In quietude, it weaves its cosmic tapestry.

Book Description
(Music Pro Guide Books & DVDs). Most choirs spend their rehearsal time focusing on notes, rhythms, and precision. They rarely, if ever, discuss a song's meaning and feeling, even though those elements are precisely what draws people to the music in the first place. Thousands of books have been written about choral technique, teaching people how to sing technically well. What sets The Heart of Vocal Harmony apart is its focus on honest unified expression and the process of delivering an emotionally compelling performance. It delves into an underdeveloped vocal topic the heart of the music and the process involved with expressing it. The Heart of Vocal Harmony is not just for a cappella groups it is also for vocal harmony groups, ensembles, and choirs at all levels, with or without instruments. In addition to the process, the book features discussions with some of the biggest luminaries in vocal harmony: composers, arrangers, directors, singers, and groups including Eric Whitacre, Pentatonix, the Manhattan Transfer, and more!
