To learn something of the life and labors of Palestrina, one of the earliest as well as one of the greatest musicians, we must go back in the world's history nearly four hundred years. And even then we may not be able to discover all the events of his life as some of the records have been lost. But we have the main facts, and know that Palestrina's name will be revered for all time as the man who strove to make sacred music the expression of lofty and spiritual meaning.

Led Zeppelin IV, often called heavy metal's greatest album, kicks off an exciting new series that takes a fresh, in-depth look at some of the greatest works from the most influential artists of the rock era. Fans may know the songs, but wait until they hear the stories behind them! The music contained in Led Zeppelin IV is part of the soundtrack to a generation. Released in 1971, it rocks, stomps, glides, and shimmers as it covers all the bases the band had mastered: heavy blues, barroom rock and roll, mandolin-driven folk, epic Tolkien-infused mysticism, acoustic Americana, and more. Certified gold one week after its release, the album went to #2 on the U.S. charts and #1 in the U.K. It remained on U.S. charts for 259 weeks. There probably isn't an aspiring rock guitarist anywhere who hasn't plucked out the notes and chords to "Stairway to Heaven" or "Black Dog," and yet many music lovers are unaware of the intriguing backstory to this genre-defining work. To this day there is confusion about what is the actual title of the album. And what about those mysterious symbols? Barney Hoskyns pierces those veils and more as he tells the fascinating story of the evocative set that cemented Led Zeppelin's standing as the biggest, baddest, loudest band in the world—and that remains today the apex of their art.

The World's Great Men of Music was written in 1922 by a piano teacher named Harriette Brower. Her love of the old composers was something she wanted to pass on to her students.The first group of composers she wrote about were Baroque and Classic. These included Palestrina, Bach, Handel, Gluck, Haydn and Mozart.Next came the Romance composers such as Beethoven, Von Weber, Schubert, Mendelssohn, Schumann, Chopin and Berlioz.These were follwed by the Impressionistic and Contemporary composers including Tschaikowsky, MacDowell, Debussy, Toscanini, Stokowski and Koussevitzky. Harriette Brower had the privilege of meeting and interviewing some of the composers in this group, as they were alive during her lifetime.Although the work seemed complete at that time, Mrs. Brower decided to write six more biographies of the Romance composers. These included Liszt, Verdi, Wagner, Franck, Brahms and Grieg.Music lovers will be intrigued with the surprising details of the lives of their favorite composers.
