Interview: Juanita Coulson, by Peggi Warner-Lalonde (8/25/03): Article.; In the Midwest in the '50s, we'd sit in a circle of three or four and run through our entire repertoires—which at most was three or four songs, including our adaptations of Heinlein's lyrics—until we'd done them all; then we'd repeat them, or stray into folk music or Tom Lehrer.
SF Resources on the Net, by Peggi Warner-Lalonde (6/2/03): Music.; The most common reaction I get when I mention SF Music to people is, "Oh, yeah. Uh huh. That weird stuff." Instinctively, I know they are thinking of something synthesized, and, you should pardon the pun, alien sounding. And my most common reaction is, "No, that's not it."
The Golden Dreydl: A Klezmer "Nutcracker" for Chanukah by Ellen Kushner & Shirim Klezmer Orchestra, by Peggi Warner-Lalonde (11/11/02): Music.; There are echoes of Tchaikovsky, but there's much more than that. It's rollicking and lively—as well as very visual.
Interview: Heather Alexander, by Peggi Warner-Lalonde (7/29/02): Music.; Heather Alexander is well known in many circles as an accomplished musician. Not just a vocalist and instrumentalist, Heather also composes and arranges. One of her most recent projects is a collaboration with Steven Barnes, inspired by his novel Lion's Blood.
Rick Wakeman, by Peggi Warner-Lalonde (5/27/02): Music.; From the ancient times of Stonehenge, to images of Spaceman visitors we hear musical explorations of our human soul. The final track, "The Lost Cycle," tells a moving Science Fiction story against a musical background of compelling composition and inspired performances.
The Arrogant Worms, by Peggi Warner-Lalonde (4/22/02): Music.; The Worms (as they are affectionately known) have become one of Canada's best known comedy acts, touring the folk circuit throughout North America, and as far away as Australia.
Interview: Donald Quan, by Peggi Warner-Lalonde (3/25/02): Music.; "Composing is my choice of expression. [M]usic is my means of communicating; it's my means of relating to people. I can run my life with it. I can use it to fuel everything that I do. And that's how I define myself as a composer."
Music to While Away a Saturday Afternoon, by Peggi Warner-Lalonde (1/28/02): Music.; With so much hype surrounding the release of the movie The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring, we thought it might be interesting to review some of the older (and one or two newer) recordings which were inspired by the writings of Tolkien.
The Starlit Jewel, by Peggi Warner-Lalonde (11/19/01): Music.; Marion [Zimmer Bradley] had set seven of Tolkien's poems to music in 1969 and called them "The Rivendell Suite." In 1991 we were asked by Marion's secretary if we would arrange, perform, and record "The Rivendell Suite" on cassette as a birthday present for Marion. In 1999, we re-petitioned the [Tolkien] Estate for further permission to make 2000 CDs, which was granted.
The National Space Society CD, by Peggi Warner-Lalonde (10/8/01): Music.; Now, the first-ever CD of songs to inspire and enthuse the public towards space exploration . . . is being produced . . . and it seeks to stir the hearts and minds of space-enthused individuals towards the National Space Society's mission.
Interview: Urban Tapestry, by Peggi Warner-Lalonde (9/10/01): Music.; "Urban Tapestry performs filk music, which is generally described as songs written on themes that appeal to fans of science fiction and fantasy. Our songs cover the silly and the serious in styles from ballads to jazz to rock, and our arrangements include vocal harmonies, guitar, flute and percussion."
