    Ira Ross has produced and narrated the fourth CD in his series "Opera for Everyone". The new CD is the magnificent "Madama Butterfly" by Puccini. The three previous CDs in the series are--"The Barber of Seville" by Rossini, "Carmen" by Bizet and "La Traviata" by Verdi.
    Each CD begins with an introduction to the opera and to the overture. This is followed by music from the overture It then describes the action of the first major episode and suggests what to listen for in the related music. This is followed by the music. This sequence is repeated for each additional major episode in the opera: narration-music-etc.

     To achieve this I have donated the "Opera for Everyone" Project--computer downloadable 4 CDs and Teaching Manual (see attachment)----- to MENC ----the National Association of Music Educators---in the United States. The purpose is to have music educators, affiliated with schools or colleges, use these CDs and the Teaching Manual to enrich their students with the treasures of opera ------the magnificent vocal and orchestral music and the great variety of human emotions and acts of behavior. as expressed by the composers in these operas.
    Now, I wish to donate these materials, all FREE, to music educators ---affiliated with schools and colleges in your country ----for the same purpose. I must emphasize that there are no hidden costs---this is all FREE.
     The attachment will give you additional information about "Opera for Everyone" and an e-mail address to use for questions.
    To inform all your members and to publicize this gift adequately, may I suggest multiple e-mails, publications, announcements, and all other means deemed appropriate.

    Judy Mitchell's new novel, The Last Day of the War, (by the semi-nom de plume Judith Claire Mitchell), was released by Pantheon Books in 2004. For those who are interested, you can buy the book from any on-line bookseller (most offer it at a discount of 20% or more) or from your local bookstore. If you can't find it at your bookstore or in your library and are in the mood to do a good deed, you might want to request it or suggest they order it.
     The book, which is about a Jewish girl who, at the end of World War I, becomes romantically  and politically involved with an Armenian-American doughboy in Paris, has received some nice pre-publication reviews. Publishers Weekly called it "smart" and "entertaining" and gave it a coveted starred review. Booklist said, "This eloquent first novel encompasses the full spectrum of joy and torment that is the human condition." The book was also included in Vogue's list of recommended summer reading.
     Judy had a reading and book-signing during a 5-city tour in July with hubby Don Friedlich going along for the ride. [Great going, Judy!]
