"A Banjo Song" is a vocal piece from the collection titled "Bandanna Ballads," a set of art songs composed in the late 19th century. The texts for these songs were written by the American poet Paul Laurence Dunbar, whose work often explored African American life and dialect in both serious and lyrical ways. The "Bandanna Ballads" were first published in 1899 and consist of a group of short songs for voice and piano. They are written in a style that blends elements of classical European art song with themes and rhythms inspired by American folk traditions. "A Banjo Song" is one of the lighter and more rhythmically playful pieces in the set. It reflects the sound and cultural associations of the banjo, an instrument deeply connected to American folk music. The song uses lively rhythms and expressive phrasing to evoke a sense of movement and musical storytelling. Like other songs in the collection, it is typically performed by a solo vocalist with piano accompaniment and has been interpreted by classical singers interested in American art song repertoire. --- Sidney Homer was an American composer born in 1864 and died in 1953. He is best known for his art songs, many of which set texts by prominent American and British poets. He studied music in the United States and in Europe, including in Germany, which influenced his compositional style. His work reflects a blend of European Romantic traditions and distinctly American literary sources. Homer had a close professional and personal connection with the poet Paul Laurence Dunbar, whose texts he set in "Bandanna Ballads." Their collaboration is considered one of the notable partnerships in early American art song. He composed over 100 songs, as well as orchestral and chamber music, but his reputation rests primarily on his vocal music. His songs are known for their lyrical melodies, careful attention to text setting, and expressive harmonic language. Sidney Homer was also connected to the American musical community through his marriage to Louise Homer, a well-known contralto who performed many of his works and helped bring them to wider audiences. --- Summary "A Banjo Song" from "Bandanna Ballads" is part of an important early American art song collection that combines poetic texts by Paul Laurence Dunbar with music by Sidney Homer. Homer's work helped establish a distinctly American voice in classical vocal music while remaining rooted in European traditions.…

Hardback. Condition: Good. First published in 1972, and then updated in 2004, Inside the Yield Book is the widely-read classic volume that led to the modern science of bond analytics. With the global nature of today's investment management process and the increasing complexity of financial instruments, we may seem far removed from the bond markets that authors Martin Leibowitz and Sidney Homer first wrote about over forty years ago, but the ability of this new Third Edition to explain complex relationships in the debt markets in a logical and often intuitive way remains unchanged. Divided into three comprehensive parts, this new edition is filled with what many would consider some of the best information regarding bonds you'll ever find. It contains the complete original edition of Leibowitz and Homer's classic, which basically created the science of bond analysis through clear explanations of bond portfolio management and the math behind bond yields and prices. It also includes the 2004 updates to the classic, which developed a horizon-based approach to present-value and showed how these concepts could be generalized beyond bonds to become useful in the analysis of virtually any investment opportunity, including equities. While the earlier editions of this reliable guide focused on a single bond that was continuously held either to maturity or to some specified horizon, many bond investments take the form of portfolios composed of multiple bond holdings and a continually changing bond composition. A completely new part of this Third Edition contains material coauthored by Martin Leibowitz, Anthony Bova, and Stanley Kogelman that reflects this reality. It provides valuable insights into the often-surprising return behavior exhibited by Duration Targeting (DT) portfolios--the most common form of bond management--over multi-year horizons. Engaging and informative, this new part addresses some practical concerns in this arena as it: develops a trendline-based zero coupon bond model of Duration Targeting; explores the relationship between yield volatility and return volatility; moves beyond theory and simulated returns to the recorded returns of actual Duration Targeted portfolios; analyzes the so-called laddered portfolios that commonly are used by individual investors; and much more. Whether you're an institutional or individual investor, trader, or analyst, if you're looking to enhance your bond analysis skills, this authoritative work covers essential concepts and contains illustrative examples that will allow you to excel in today's challenging bond markets.…
