SHELLEY GILL was the fifth woman to complete the Iditarod race. When she's not writing, Shelley travels to schools around the country where she covers a variety of topics--from whale watching to where her ideas come from. Gill was a founder and publisher of the Paws IV line of Alaskan children's books now owned by Sasquatch Books. The author lives in Homer, AK. Shannon Cartwright has spent most of her Alaska years living in the bush, and has never owned a TV or a computer. Cartwright has traveled all over the state working on a set-net site in Bristol Bay, driving horse-pack trips, guiding in the Alaska Range and Brooks Range, researching book projects, and traveling between her cabins by train, skis, snowmobiles, and horses. She expresses her love of Alaska through the 28 children's books she has illustrated, seven of which she has also written.
'... outstanding. Into a mere 100 lucid pages, this most stimulating of our younger Bach scholar-performers has managed to pack accounts of the work's background, composition and reception history ... this little book serves to illuminate not only the Mass itself, but the entire sweep of current thinking about Bach.' Bayan Northcott, BBC Music Magazine ' ... this little book serves to illuminate not only the Mass itself, but the entire sweep of current thinking about Bach.' Bayan Northcott, BBC Music Magazine 'John Butt's handbook (116 pp inc. Index) on the Mass in B minor is an absolute MUST for anyone who wants to know about this remarkable piece in every particular.' London Bach Society
