"Ah, alas!" The "faithful shepherd" Mirtillo's woeful sigh of unrequited love, delivered with outrageous musical dissonances, has rung through the ages since the first publication of Claudio Monteverdi's madrigal "Cruda Amarilli" in 1605. But there is far more to the composer's nine books of madrigals than dissonant progressions--they are an integral part of the intellectual, artistic, and practical worlds of creation and performance in Italian musical and literary culture of the late sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries. While Monteverdi is also recognized for his operas and sacred works, it is no surprise that the madrigal dominated his output through his long career in Cremona, Mantua, and Venice. Author Tim Carter illustrates how the composer's wonderfully witty settings of Italian verse ran the gamut from compositions in the traditional polyphonic style for five unaccompanied voices to those in more modern idioms for one or more singers and instruments. Their poets included the major figures of the day--Torquato Tasso, Battista Guarini, and Giambattista Marino--as well as the classics, not least of all Petrarch, with texts that embraced all the current literary genres from lyric through epic to dramatic. Monteverdi also repeatedly asked and answered the fundamental question of any musical setting of poetry concerning the relationship between poetic and musical voice(s). Carter offers a more holistic perspective than has been adopted in the partial studies of Monteverdi's madrigals to date and moves far beyond conventional views of the composer and his work. He considers how Monteverdi engaged with poetry, with sound, and with the performers for whom he was writing. As Carter shows, Monteverdi was irascible, exasperating, and prone to error. Yet his astonishing musical mind was also inventive, playful, and capable of the most extraordinary wit--producing madrigals that continue to invite new approaches both to their study and to their performance.

DOG TRAINING TOOLKIT - The World's Only This is Tim's book that has been called "The greatest invention since the emergence of dogs". If you are still fairly new to dogs then the Dog Training Toolkit is too advanced, as it is way ahead of all dog training advice you find elsewhere. So clearly, this Toolkit is not for beginners.

It is the most practical approach to dog training you will ever find. The Dog Training Toolkit provides an abundance of tools that you can use to make your dog behave the way you want: well! Of course the Toolkit too features Behavior Training, Tim's proprietary dog training approach so much loved by his loyal fan base. In fact, the Toolkit is the foundation of Behavior Training. The Toolkit allows to train your dog anything you want, without the problems that Obedience Training entails. Note that the Dog Training Toolkit is more relevant for adult dog training. While it is also helpful for puppy training, puppies do not yet consciously focus as much on our behavior as adult dogs do. Tim advises to "use roughly half-half for your puppy, half Obedience Training and half Behavior Training. By the time you have an adult dog, pretty much all Obedience Training should be finished. Now give all attention to your Behavior Training". The Toolkit revolutionizes dog training all across the globe. The Toolkit lays out all dog training tools in an easy-to-follow structure. The Toolkit is what allows Tim's mygermanshepherd.org the gentle dog training that works even with the most difficult rescue dogs.

The Florentine musician Jacopo Peri (1561-1633) is known as the composer of the first operas--they include the earliest to survive complete, Euridice (1600), in which Peri sang the role of Orpheus. The recent discovery of a large number of private account books belonging to him and his family allows for a greater exploration of Peri's professional and personal life. Richard Goldthwaite, an economic historian, and Tim Carter, a musicologist, have done more, however, than write a biography: their investigation exposes the value of such financial documents as a primary source for an entire period. This record of Peri's wide-ranging investments and activities in the marketplace enables the first detailed account of the Florentine economy in the late sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries, and opens a new perspective on one of Europe's principal centers of capitalism. His economic circumstances reflect continuities and transformations in Florentine society, and the strategies for negotiating them, under the Medici grand dukes. They also allow a reevaluation of Peri the singer and composer that elucidates the cultural life of a major artistic center even in changing times, providing a quite different view of what it meant to be a musician in late Renaissance Italy.

An exploration of Monteverdi and his contemporaries. It discusses the rise of the "new music" for solo voice and basso continuo in late 16th- and early 17th-century Florence, then moves on to broader aesthetic issues crystallized in contemporary theoretical debate and musical practice.

A collection of essays starting with the author's research on Jacopo Peri and the rise of opera and solo song in late-16th and early-17th-century Florence. It extends to broader issues concerning music and patronage in the city, and thence to the commerce of music printing and the book trade.
