Post-humus work of Timothy Callender ‘How Music Came to the Ainchan People’ gets new release
It is rare to find an author who is also a visual artist, a poet, a student of history and geography and an accomplished story teller.
BASSETERRE, St. Kitts and Nevis (PRWEB) January 23, 2013 -- In his previously un-published book “How Music Came to the Ainchan People” (published by Trafford Publishing), the late-Timothy Callender explores the evolution of music in ancient culture. Now, after his passing, his book is being released for the world to experience.
“How Music Came to the Ainchan People” tells the story of the epic journey of Shangodoon on his quest to overthrow a cruel dictator. Shangodoon’s experiences on his journey help open his eyes to the elements of music including: rhythm, through his Earth experiences; harmony, through the adventures of his wife with water; and melody, through the activities of his son with the air or wind. Eventually Shangodoon realizes that music is the tool he needs to defeat the dictator and the rule of the Dominauts.
An excerpt from “How Music Came to the Ainchan People”:
“I reached inside the hollow body of the shell and touched the taut gut strings. With my right hand I plucked at three of them together, and the things vibrated in myriads of echoing units of sound, softly and sweetly, so that for a moment I wondered if the shell of the turtle had a life and voice of its own, and lived on long after its occupant.”
“How Music Came to the Ainchan People” is one of Callender’s works published after his passing. “It is a combination of all the skills of this creative artist,” says his widow, Lorna. “It is rare to find an author who is also a visual artist, a poet, a student of history and geography and an accomplished story teller.”
