What Comes After Abracadabra

Abracadabra Clarinet

This collection of piano accompaniments to clarinet solo pieces has been arranged for clarinet teachers or parents who may not be virtuoso pianists. The accompaniments are simple but effective, and should give the pupil valuable extra musical support.

The Origins of English Words

There are no direct records of the original Indo-European speech. By comparing the vocabularies of its various descendants, however, it is possible to reconstruct the basic Indo-European roots with considerable confidence. In The Origins of English Words, Shipley catalogues these proposed roots and follows the often devious, always fascinating, process by which some of their offshoots have grown. Anecdotal, eclectic, and always enthusiastic, The Origins of English Words is a diverting expedition beyond linguistics into literature, history, folklore, anthropology, philosophy, and science.
