Arlo, Alice & the Anglicans: The Lives of a New England Church
by Lee, Laura  This is the first book to recount the story of the simple wooden
structure that went on to Woodstock-era fame after its deconsecration
and what that building meant to the communities it served. On
the surface, it may seem that an Episcopalian congregation from
turn of the century New England has little in common with the
rebellious youths in the movie AliceÅfs Resaurant. Yet there is
much they share... by Daniel, Peggy  This is the story of Tanglewood as told in first-person accounts
by such luminaries as Leonard Bernstein, Serge Koussevitzky, Aaron
Copland, Erich Leinsdorf, Seiji Ozawa, Yo-Yo Ma, James Levine,
and many other leading musicians, critics and music professionals
who consider Tanglewood a second home. This “documentary
coffee-table book” features letters, speeches, interviews,
vintage newspaper articles and a treasure trove of photographs
from the BSO’s archives, all woven together by Ms. Daniel’s
narrative and commentary.
