Lord of the Rings Instrumental Solos Violin Book: With Piano Accompaniment & CD Review

Lord of the Rings Instrumental Solos Violin Book: With Piano Accompaniment and CD
Average Reviews:

This is a wonderful score book for violin with piano accompaniment. Inside there is a removable section with just the violin sheet music and it comes with a cd with a demo and back-up music to play along with. I truly recommend this for anyone who plays violin. I enjoy the Lord of the Rings, but I also feel that the music is beautiful on its own.

Music from all three films arranged for string instruments. Desirable and collectible, these instrumental folios are loaded with full-color photos of scenes from all three films. They are printed on top-quality antique paper stock, and the covers showcase the new "trilogy" artwork. The string series was written especially for violin, viola, and cello. Each book features a piano accompaniment and a carefully crafted removable string part complete with bowings, articulations, and keys well suited for the Level 2-3 player. A fully orchestrated accompaniment CD, with demo tracks (featuring live string performances) and play-along tracks, completes each package. The string books are completely compatible with each other and can be played together or as solos. Due to level considerations, the string books are not compatible with the books in the wind series. Titles are the twelve major themes from the blockbuster trilogy: from The Fellowship of the Ring: The Prophecy * In Dreams * Concerning Hobbits * Many Meetings * The Black Rider; from The Two Towers: Gollum's Song * Rohan * Evenstar * Forth Eorlingas; from The Return of the King: Into the West * The Steward of Gondor * Minas Tirith.

The Life, Death, and Resurrection of Harry Potter Review

The Life, Death, and Resurrection of Harry Potter
Average Reviews:

I have recently begun reading John Killinger's work, The Life, Death and Resurrection of Harry Potter. Being a clergyman, Killinger poses an interesting thesis. He finds a theological undertone to the entire J. K. Rowling series about the boy wizard. To his thesis, I pose no judgment. It is a fascinating one at that, but not alone in literature. Certainly one can find Christ figures in Superman, C. S. Lewis' works, Melville's, et al. What disturbed me most was Killinger's lack of in-depth research, or perhaps understanding, of the basic facts of the Rowling series. On page 58 he writes, "...Harry pauses at the end of a difficult race to allow his chief competitor from Huffelpuff House, a boy named Cedric Diggory..." Diggory was not in Huffelpuff House, but in Gryfindor.
While this may seem a trival point, and admittedly it probably is, when you consider the rest of the book, and the thesis posed I think it would be good to at least have facts correct.
