Tchaikovsky's Musical Adventure - NEW CHILDRENS PC GAME

The Musical Playground is a new and fascinating account of the musical play of school-aged children. Based on fifteen years of ethnomusicological field research in urban and rural school playgrounds around the globe, Kathryn Marsh provides unique insights into children's musical playground activities across a comprehensive scope of social, cultural, and national contexts. With a sophisticated synthesis of ethnomusicological and music education approaches, Marsh examines sung and chanted games, singing and dance routines associated with popular music and sports chants, and more improvised and spontaneous chants, taunts, and rhythmic movements. The book's index of more than 300 game genres is a valuable reference to readers in the field of children's folklore, providing a unique map of game distribution across an array of cultures and geographical locations. On the companion website, readers will be able to view on streamed video, field recordings of children's musical play throughout the wide range of locations and cultures that form the core of Marsh's study, allowing them to better understand the music, movement, and textual characteristics of musical games and interactions. Copious notated musical examples throughout the book and the website demonstrate characteristics of game genres, children's generative practices, and reflections of cultural influences on game practice, and valuable, practical recommendations are made for developing pedagogies which reflect more child-centred and less Eurocentric views of children's play, musical learning, and musical creativity. Marsh brings readers to playgrounds in Australia, Norway, the USA, the United Kingdom, and Korea, offering them an important and innovative study of how children transmit, maintain, and transform the games of the playground. The Musical Playground will appeal to practitioners and researchers in music education, ethnomusicology, and folklore.

The core book for the Deryni Adventure Game presents geographical and historical information on the Eleven Kingdoms, a chapter on Religion and religious institutions in Gwynedd, a chapter on the Deryni and their capabilities, and a detailed chapter on Daily Life in the Eleven Kingdoms. The game rules are easy to learn and presented with plenty of examples to help first-time roleplayers understand how to play the game. There's plenty of information to help Gamemasters run a Deryni campaign, including lots of adventure "seeds" and two complete adventures. The appendices contain lots of information of interest to the fans as well as gamers, including indices of people and places from the novels, price lists for items in the Eleven Kingdoms, information on the Camberian Council, and more.
