Om Sri Sai Ram. Sri Sathya Sai International Organization (SSSIO) offers the September 2023 issue of Sathya Sai–The Eternal Companion at the divine lotus feet of Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai Baba with love, reverence, and gratitude. This issue contains a divine discourse Swami gave on September 4, 1996, on the auspicious occasion of Sri Krishna Janmashtami (birthday of Lord Krishna). He explains that our real wealth is Love for God, which grants permanent and supreme bliss, while all worldly pleasures are fleeting and illusory. Through examples, Bhagawan highlights how Sri Krishna personified bliss, captivated the hearts of all devotees, and could be captured only through pure love. Finally, He urges everyone to follow His teachings implicitly as the Lord Krishna and His words are not different. The editorial, The Ganesha Principle, expounds on the inner significance, principles, teachings, and stories of Lord Ganesha. Such understanding and practice increase one’s joy and help in the path to Self-Realization. The publication contains beautiful stories of Lord Ganesha and the unique personal experiences of devotees with Sri Sathya Sai Baba. It also features articles on the glory of womanhood, ideal Sai Young Adults, Sathya Sai Education, and loving services rendered by the SSSIO in war-torn Ukraine. A brief overview of the growth of the SSSIO in Switzerland shows how Swami’s universal and eternal message has spread over the decades.

Larry Sitsky, professor emeritus at The Australian National University, is an internationally known composer, pianist, scholar, and teacher. His books are fundamental reference works on subjects such as Australian piano music, the 20th-century avant-garde, the piano music of Anton Rubinstein, the early 20th-century Russian avant-garde, and the classical reproducing piano roll. The Compleat Busoni is the result of Sitsky’s lifelong focus on the composer Ferruccio Busoni. Over three volumes, Sitsky surveys Busoni’s vast output, provides an ending to the unfinished opera Dr. Faust, and presents definitive realisations of the Fantasia Contrappuntistica in two-piano and orchestral versions. New insights into Busoni’s style and aesthetics are an integral aspect of this work.

Many people learn the flute. Most give it up as an adult because they cannot easily find anyone to play with, and a lack of practice makes it less enjoyable to play. This book is aimed at helping such people. The first chapter diagnoses why most amateur flautists give up playing, and sets out a number of remedies. The most important is finding other musicians with whom to play, whether in an orchestra, or more importantly, in chamber groups. The author explores how you might set about finding players for chamber music, and how you might set about finding the music itself. The second chapter gives guidance about the music for all the principal combinations of chamber groups which involve the flute. The most significant ones are flute and piano, two to four flutes, trio sonatas with another melody instrument and piano, and the wind quartet. The author describes the principal works for each of these groups, which are fun and manageable for amateurs, rather than listing everything that is available. Listed are the significant works that are available for free on the internet. The third chapter suggests a short practice regime to counteract the deficiencies in the playing of most amateur flautists, which are poor tone and tuning. Practicing half an hour a few times a week should do the trick.

By the end of the four-part series, Boehm and simple system flutists of any background will have the tools necessary to play Irish music with a deep understanding of the tradition as well as with individual creativity. “A fantastic bible of Irish flute playing. Harrison is a very meticulous and thorough author.” —Viviana Guzman, The Flute View Magazine“ An invaluable resource for any flutist.” —Brook Ferguson, Principal Flutist of the Colorado Symphony Orchestra “Leslie Anne Harrison’s Playing Outside the Lines is a marvelous gift to all interested in Irish music. Her clear and detailed writing is a huge boon to those embracing the traditional Irish flute and is truly enlightening to those (like me) who want to delve into this music while playing the Boehm flute. From tiniest detail to largest form, Leslie Anne Harrison is there every step of the way.
