Notes

The title “LIGHT & DARK” refers to the juxtaposition of different musical genres, between "light and serious", a multifaceted abstract percussion blending sounds of nature, dance, folklore, legends, and the severe sonic architectures from J. S. Bach to the present day. In the "LIGHT" CD, one can appreciate Keiko Abe's "Wind Sketch II" (Scherzi del Vento), a Japanese composer often inspired by natural events in her music. Cadença per Berimbau by Ney Rosauro focuses on the chordophone percussion instrument of African origin used in Brazil in the acrobatic dance Capoeira. Afro-Amero by Phil Faini is characterized by deep roots in the percussion of the 6/8 rhythms of the African Yoruba tribe. This is followed by pleasant arrangements of Birdland by Joseph Zawinul, ex-Weather Report, and Why not! by the virtuoso pianist of Puerto Rican origin Michael Camilo. With Ney Rosauro's Mitos Brasileiros, we delve into Brazilian mysteries and legends, with the narration of its bizarre characters represented by colorful rhythms, sounds, and instruments. The CD concludes with a solo jazz drum performance accompanied by a small percussion orchestra in John Beck's Drum Concerto. The "DARK" CD, on the other hand, presents a program with a distinct classical and contemporary feel. It begins with the sonic architecture of J. S. Bach in this Prelude in the atypical version for two marimbas; it continues with the spatialized timbral interpenetrations of sound tubes, glasses, and vibraphone in Mimesis, a piece composed for the Ensemble by Giovanni Bonato, and with Lou Harrison's unique experience in 1942, experimenting with references to Javanese music with sounds obtained from recycled objects such as trash cans, disc brakes, watch and truck springs… Following this: Metal-mente, a serial piece for vibraphone and only percussive and rubbed metallophones with curious but effective methods, dedicated to Edoardo Gioachini and the Ensemble; Kecak, "the dance of the chattering monkeys" by the Japanese Akira Nishimura, inspired by one of the dramaturgies of the island of Bali and based on four sequences that intertwine like a rhythmic belt coupled with a pair of timpani and vibraphone that develop a dialogue similar to the Indian Raga. It concludes with a "live" version of Ionisation by Edgard Varèse for thirteen performers, described by Curt Sachs as "the greatest rhythmic inspiration ever composed," an absolute masterpiece, completed in 1932, characterized by an incessant explosion of imagination and timbral creativity within traditional constructive elements.

A Sure Favorite
What's not to like about Stick Dog. This book is in full color and has a bonus chapter. I wish all of the Stick Dog and Stick Cat books were in full color. As with all of the books, the pages are lined giving the appearance of notebook paper. The lines really help a kiddo with dyslexia follow along better.

Good, Silly, Doggy, Reading Fun!
Format: Hardcover
I've read all three of the Stick Dog books to my class and they've loved every one! Someone always has them at their desk now. This is a fun, easy to read story that's 140+ pages of some stray dogs plotting to get some hamburgers. The font is huge and the story is littered with illustrations so each page has at most four paragraphs, so not very daunting if you have a reluctant reader. The author's tone makes it easily accessible too. He talks to kids at their level, never down to them, and even manages to sneak in some higher level vocabulary in there at times! This book and its sequels could be the ones to turn any reluctant readers in your life into book hounds!

A Book About Friendship, Gumption and Happiness
Format: Hardcover
This book is an enthusiastic and inspired combination of stick drawings, challenging vocabulary, cheerful wordplay and shaggy dog, (literally), adventures. There is a tremendous sense of happy camaraderie among the doggy characters. The drawing is intentionally amateurish; the dogs are stick figures. Except there's more going on here than you might imagine, and the author manages to fit a considerable amount of expression and personality into the drawings. You get a sort of "less is more" vibe, and the young reader is drawn into paying more attention to the writing. That said, the simple drawings clearly illustrate what's being related in the text and so end up being amusing and helpful. Let's hear it for stick drawings. Think Picasso, but with more tails. The vocabulary is at a high but fair level - one dog doesn't speak to another, he "addresses" him. That's not outlandish, but it represents a real step up in the level of sophistication of the writing. The overall effect is that this is a book that encourages a young reader, ever so gently, to step up his or her game in terms of reading confidence and ability. Pretty nice for a stick figure dog story. There is word play and a great deal of clever conversation. But, there's also just a lot of silly, engaging dog stuff. The dogs tease each other, compliment each other, and play with each other. They have adventures, meet other animals, and explore things. There are set pieces, but a lot of the action just involves Stick Dog's bemused management of this gang of knuckleheads. The upshot is that the book is funny, calm and welcoming. It is sneaky in that it has charms that are not immediately evident, but that become clear as you read it. It's sort of like a stray dog that works its way into your home, (like Stick Dog himself). How cool is that.

We love this book!
Format: Hardcover
My son and I originally found this book together for free on Nook and Kindle. We read it together, and it is hilarious! I loved it as much as he did. He loved it so much, he wanted an actual print copy he could take to school. We are also planning to buy another one to donate to his school library, and he has convinced several of his friends to buy it at their school book fair. If you have a kid in k-5, get this book. It is a cute story, but smart, too. Very funny! Tom Watson doesn't talk down to his readers, but writes in a way that lets them be in on the joke, too.

Just a good time read.
Format: Hardcover
Funny, funny and funny again. Stick Dog shares a lot of dog wisdom with his small band of diversified followers while they scout for food , or better yet, dreamily scheme to confiscate a few delicious morsels. Shared antics, back door begging knowledge, a dog's eye view of the more upscale garbage pickins' lead this foursome of mixed mongrels through some challenging romps all tied up in low keyed humor that builds to giggles and "Don't stop now, Mom, pleaseeeeee"" reading sessions. Funny dogs, funny story and fun to read again! Maybe that IS the best part - "Mom, read it again".
