Opera Noir Presents Classical Soprano J. Rosalynn Smith Clark in the West Coast Premier – “Then Sings My Soul”
Oakland, CA (PRWEB) January 17, 2012
J. Rosalynn Smith-Clark, nationally recognized and highly acclaimed classical soprano, will grace the stage on February 3, 2012 at Beebe Memorial Cathedral, Oakland, CA in a staged concert performance of “Then Sings My Soul”. This riveting “site-specific” concert performance explores the role of faith and music in the African American journey towards social justice. Joining Ms. Smith-Clark in this much anticipated evening of song and oratorio, is award winning actor of stage and screen, Hawthorne “Big Red” James.
Ms. Smith-Clark has been lauded for her full and rich, lyric soprano voice with simmering high notes and a lovely floating pianissimo that delights audiences. In addition to being blessed with a beautiful voice, Ms. Smith-Clark possesses an elegant and commanding stage presence. Hawthorne James, while possibly best known for his menacing performance as the villainous manager, “Big Red” in the Robert Townsend movie, “The Five Heartbeats”, is a classically trained actor with numerous stage and screen credits. Both actor and soprano will be under the capable stage director of critically acclaimed and award winning director Zadi Ife.
The performance, much like the evolution of the African American worship experience, combines the haunting melodies of negro spirituals, the simplistic beauty of traditional european hymns and anthems, the provocative and soul stirring strains of gospel music, as well as movements from Duke Ellington’s “Sacred Concert”. Powerful oratorio works in the performance include excerpts from James Weldon Johnson’s “God Trombones”, excerpts of speeches of great African American pioneers and leaders, and reenactments of scriptural passages that mirror and inform the African American experience. Produced with passion and enthusiasm by Kosmond Russell, writer and producer of “The Visit” starring Billy Dee Williams and Hill Harper, “Then Sings My Soul” promises to be a landmark production in the lexicon of both concert and theater, celebrating the contributions of African American artists and visionaries.
Concerned by the lack of performing opportunities for classical artists of color, J. Rosalynn Smith-Clark founded Opera Noir to “promote cultural diversity in the classical arts”. Ms. Smith-Clark is passionate about giving back to the youth in every community she touches and as a result of that commitment, she will offer a free master class to 200 youth during the West Coast tour stop in Oakland, CA. During the master class, students from various arts schools will have the opportunity to perform before the stars and director of “Then Sings My Soul” and receive feedback on their performance techniques that include commanding the stage, character development, and professional etiquette.
The concert performance of “Then Sings My Soul” on February 3, 2012, begins at 7:00 PM at Beebe Memorial Cathedral, located at 3900 Telegraph Avenue, Oakland, CA 94609.
Tickets may be purchased online at http://www.operanoir.org. For sponsorship, publicity and further information contact Glass House Communications at 510.691.8687 or yanad_burrell@glasshousepr.com.

Sound Innovations for Guitar, Book 1 Method Released by Alfred Music Publishing
Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) December 21, 2011
Alfred Music Publishing, the world leader in educational print music publishing since 1922, is proud to announce the release of Sound Innovations for Guitar, written by Aaron Stang (author and Grammy® Award-winning guitarist) and Bill Purse (Guitar Chair at Duquesne University). This revolutionary new method utilizes solid pedagogy and ground-breaking technology to provide students and teachers with the skills needed to play modern guitar—with a focus on real-world guitar skills.
Built with feedback from guitar teachers across the country, Sound Innovations for Guitar is the first guitar method to fully address the skills, techniques, and knowledge required by all guitarists in a solid, linear teaching method. Unlike other methods, Sound Innovations for Guitar starts off by teaching chords and notes on the low E string to promote fretboard understanding, build solid left- and right-hand technique, and to allow students to begin playing fundamental bass-line type rock and blues patterns right away. Lessons focus on learning all skills in the context of great repertoire ranging in style from folk to blues, flamenco, rock, and classical music, as well as core guitar skills like strumming and fingerpicking, chords, playing pivotal rock and blues riffs, improvising, reading music, and applying music theory. Focused goals and benchmarks are included, organized into six levels with clean page layouts for quick identification of concepts.
In addition, students can practice with the included DVD, which has three and a half hours of video lessons to explain and demonstrate all the concepts and techniques covered in the book. And, MP3 recordings of every example and song in the book, with play-along accompaniments, and specialized instructional tracks featuring concise explanations and demonstrations of all new concepts and techniques are embedded on the DVD. The built-in SI Player software allows tracks to be slowed down and sections looped for continuous practice. The book and DVD is designed so that even band, orchestra, and choral directors, with little experience on the guitar can easily teach a guitar class that really focuses on the skills and music young guitarists want and need.
The Teacher Edition, available in late Spring or early Summer 2012, contains lesson plans and suggestions for expansion and assessment. Additional reinforcement pages, supplementary materials, assessments, and much more for the method will be available online.
Visit alfred.com/SIguitar to learn more about the method and to view the Sound Innovations for Guitar trailer.
Sound Innovations for Guitar (00-37177) Book, CD & DVD is now available for $ 12.99 at music retail stores and at alfred.com/guitar.

ShalinIndia Launches Snake Charmers’s Music Instrument Pungi on Global Online Marketplaces
New Delhi, India (PRWEB) December 16, 2011
India shopping store ShalinIndia has launched the pungi’s music instrument on the online marketplaces. Pungi is a traditional folk music instrument used by the snake charmers of India to make snakes dance to their tunes. This flute like music instrument has intrigued westerners. They have often wondered how snake charmers make the deadly cobras sway to the tune of their pungi music. Actually the cobra is deaf to the snake charmer’s pipe, but follows the visual cue of the moving pipe and it can sense the ground vibrations from the snake charmer’s tapping.
As a seller of Indian culture products, we are happy to do a commercial launch of the pungi, on the global online marketplaces. Two months ago we began to test market this Indian music instrument. When we found that a good number of people were not only attracted, they had also begun to buy these pungis, we decided to launch them on a commercial scale.
“Besides having clear business goals, we are trying to sell Pungis to achieve certain social objectives too. Snake charmers are no longer allowed to catch snakes. So this community is now looking for alternative sources of income. Selling their music instruments is one of them. Most of the snake charmers make their own Pungis using dried and hollow gourd. If we
succeed in achieving scale economies, we would be able to buy pungis from large number of snake charmers”, said Shalini Verma.
We have launched two varieties of Pungis, one made from gourd, and the other made from coconut shell. Snake charmers generally use pungis made from gourd. However, this is very delicate and risks breaking at the joints with the flute like pipe. Pungis made from gourd often produce better quality sound than the one made with coconut shell. Pungis made from coconut shell are stronger and last longer. However, they produce inferior quality sound and are used only by the hobbyists.
ShalinIndia, one of the premier online India shopping stores, specializes in selling handmade gifts, silver and gemstone jewelry, clothing accessories like men scarfs and scarves for women to customers around the world. Through an arrangement with Amazon, ShalinIndia keeps its inventory in five countries US, UK, France, Germany, and Japan. This enables ShalinIndia to reduce not only delivery time but also shipping costs for its customers. ShalinIndia has maintained consistently high feedback ratings from its online customers.

“Christmas In Your Eyes” was produced by Bridge of Light Productions, a joint venture of Russian American songwriting team, Edgar Arens, a composer and resident of Moscow in the Russian Federation, and Johnny Blue Star, lyricist and resident of Palm Desert, California. Edgar Arens, (http://www.edgararens.com), an emerging film composer who just scored the Russian TV mini-series,”The Secret Agent’s Memoir.” Edgar single-handedly, created the richly, textured orchestral vehicle for Christmas In Your Eyes, a song which could only be considered a modern Christmas classic.
“We are pleased to offer ‘Christmas In Your Eyes’ not only to consumers for themselves or to give Christmas gifts, but also to potential affiliates who can share in our revenue stream by signing up for free at our website,” says Johnny Blue Star (http://www.johnnybluestar.com), President of New Galaxy Enterprises, a company devoted to development of book and film franchises as well as music, through its Bridge of Light Production Division. “We have worked closely with Pauline Vilain of Vilain-Innovations, (http://www.vilain-innovations.com) our media and literary agent, to promote ‘Christmas In Your Eyes’ throughout the world.

Patricia Welch says, “I have been fortunate in being able to work with various stars and sing some of the greatest songs ever written as part of my repertoire. But now that I’ve started to work with Johnny and Edgar, I am looking forward to a really creative and original collaboration. As a performer, I think there’s nothing more exciting than to work with original, cutting edge material, no matter what the genre.”
Mike Merrick, the famed Broadway producers of shows like “Passion,” “Copperfield,” “Clarence Darrow” and “The Belle of Amherst,” has this to say about the song: “Christmas in Your Eyes” is an inspirational song, performed by an inspirational singer, Patricia Welch. Her interpretation of the beauty of the song, affords it with the true meaning it is meant to convey. A perfect blending of artist and musical materia.”
