This seventh volume of The New Cambridge Medieval History covers the last century (interpreted broadly) of the traditional Western Middle Ages. It takes account of much new research and modern, interdisciplinary approaches to the study and writing of history to present a broad view of late medieval society across Europe. It deals with ideas about government, social and economic change and development, the world of the spirit, as well as the history of individual countries, in many of which the powers of central government were greatly extended.

Exciting Henry Mancini score finally gets released! 1981 action-filled Disney comicbook superhero tale directed by Charles Jarrott, starring Michael Crawford, Oliver Reed, Barbara Carrera inspires Henry Mancini to write one of his most exciting, energetic scores of his career. Mancini anchors with robust "Condorman" theme (including fun chorus), then tackles profuse action scenes with dynamic, propulsive action material for full orchestra. Powerful trombone lines, aggressive rhythms, fanfares for trumpets all get spotlight! Music for killer Morovich is especially aggressive. In contrast, Mancini creates one of his gentlest, most heartfelt pretty themes for Natalia, given particular prominence in beautifully-scored "Free Single Woman". Interestingly, due to licensing, not a note of this splendid score has ever been released before, not even as a single theme on one of the numerous Mancini compilations of the era. Now, through courtesy of Disney, Intrada presents entire score (plus several extras) in crisp, punchy stereo, direct from multi-track scoring session masters stored in mint condition in Disney vaults. Colorful artwork, too!

En 1947, Henry Miller vit avec sa femme et sa fille à Big Sur, Californie, dans une petite maison perdue au milieu de montagnes sauvages. Quand il propose à un ami vieillissant, toxicomane repenti, astrologue de son état, de venir vivre avec eux, il ne soupçonne pas qu il commet une erreur grossière. De chamailleries en confrontations improbables, Miller découvre qu un enfant gâté reste, à soixante ans, un enfant gâté et que la familiarité avec les astres n exclut pas un manque absolu de savoir-vivre.

Living legend of the classic New Orleans piano tradition Henry Butler and prolific arranger and composer Steven Bernstein join forces on "Viper's Drag", leading the Hot 9 in a timeless romp through NOLA jazz with tunes by Jelly Roll Morton, Fats Waller and originals from Butler. Bernstein's unique arranging style shimmers on this record, bringing a contemporary approach to these historic jazz pieces and linking the past with the present—a gentle reminder that jazz is alive and kicking.

Henry’s House was my first double-CD rock opera, written and recorded in the winter of 2000 and spring of 2001. It tells the story of five kids in a magical kingdom who are forced to flee their homes and then rescue their parents. I also had the wonderful experience of staging Henry’s House as a musical at Hubbard Hall in Cambridge, NY in 2002.
