How Equal Temperament Ruined Harmony (and Why You Should Care)What if Bach and Mozart heard richer, more dramatic chords than we hear in music today? What sonorities and moods have we lost in playing music in "equal temperament" the equal division of the octave into twelve notes that has become our standard tuning method? Thanks to How Equal Temperament Ruined Harmony, "we may soon be able to hear for ourselves what Beethoven really meant when he called B minor 'black'" (Wall Street Journal). In this

What if Bach and Mozart heard richer, more dramatic chords than we hear in music today? What sonorities and moods have we lost in playing music in "equal temperament" the equal division of the octave into twelve notes that has become our standard tuning method? Thanks to How Equal Temperament Ruined Harmony, "we may soon be able to hear for ourselves what Beethoven really meant when he called B minor 'black'" (Wall Street Journal).In this "comprehensive plea for more variety in tuning methods" (Kirkus Reviews), Ross W. Duffin presents "a serious and well-argued case" (Goldberg Magazine) that "should make any contemporary musician think differently about tuning" (Saturday Guardian)."

A Translation from the heart of the Father
Format: Paperback
I have been enormously blessed by Brian Simmons Passion translation of the scriptures. If you want to know the heart of Father God I highly recommend the TPT translation. This translation has lead me and many others in a deeper walk with Christ.

Life-changing
Format: Hardcover
This book my eyes to so many patterns that I've had since I was a child. I'm now much later in my life and wish I had had a book like this when I was in my 20s and 30s, and not my 70s. Nevertheless the information is always helpful and helped open my eyes to so many things. Nothing else that helps me move forward. I love all of Joyce's books and follow her Ministry. She is a no-nonsense straight to the punch speaker. She talks about very uncomfortable things. Which we still need to hear either way. So I recommend this book Kylie for anyone who's gone through rejection from friends, parents, friends, jobs, rejection from spouses. Joyce is a no-nonsense straight to the heart person. Sometimes we tiptoe around these issues, what's the point of that. I highly recommend this book
