Like his compositions, Milton Babbitt’s writings about music have exerted an extraordinary influence on postwar music and thinking about music. In essays and public addresses spanning fifty years, Babbitt has grappled profoundly with central questions in the composition and apprehension of music. These writings range from personal memoirs and critical reviews to closely reasoned metatheoretical speculations and technical exegesis. In the history of music theory, there has been only a small handful of figures who have produced work of comparable stature. Taken as a whole, Babbitt’s

Located in the Finger Lakes region, Steuben County has seen industries like glass and brick-making factories, railroad shops, and clothing mills spring up over time. Early transportation grew when people with canal fever followed water routes to the Erie Canal, while railroads crisscrossed the county and improved travel.

In, A Dialog on Polygamy, the Famous Italian Reformer; Bernardino Ochino, presents both sides of the argument, and it’s HILARIOUS! Ochino plays the part of a sixteenth century priest, which he was, while Telypolygamus plays the part of the advocate for polygamy. On December 2, 1563, Ochino was exiled from Germany for publishing this work. Some say the German Reformation ended that day. He and his children were sent out into the harsh elements where three of them died of the plague. Ochino died a year later.

Award winner Natalie Babbitt (Knee-Knock Rise, The Search for Delicious) outdoes herself in this sensitive, moving adventure in which 10-year-old Winnie Foster is kidnapped, finds herself helping a murderer out of jail, and is eventually offered the ultimate gift--but doesn’t know whether to accept it. Babbitt asks profound questions about the meaning of life and death, and leaves the
