Music is surrounded by movement, from the arching back of the guitarist to the violinist swaying with each bow stroke. To John Paul Ito, these actions are not just a visual display; rather, they reveal what it really means for musicians to move with the beat, organizing the flow of notes from beat to beat and shaping the sound produced. By developing "focal impulse theory," Ito shows how a performer's choices of how to move with the meter can transform the music's expressive contours. Change the dance of the performer's body, and you change the dance of the notes. As Focal Impulse Theory deftly illustrates, bodily movements carry musical meaning and, in a very real sense, are meaning.
A compelling drama full of controversy, crime, drug smuggling, health problems, international intrigue, politics that began in the summer of 1985, when Myriam’s son John Paul returns home from university and delivers unexpected and shattering news: he may have contracted HIV/AIDS. Blaming herself for the tragedy, Myriam embarks on a remarkable journey into an unknown world – a world which would redefine her life. With no help to be found at home, Myriam and John Paul leave Bolivia behind. Traveling abroad, Myriam faces deceit, injustice and merciless judgment. It is through these trials of darkness that she finds hope, and ultimately experiences the pinnacle of love and forgiveness.
