Jessye Norman was born in Augusta, Georgia and grew up at a time when America was torn with racial strife. Today, she is at the peak of her career. Jessye Norman's insights into her cultural roots and evolution as a singer make this a moving commentary on an extraordinary career. After studying music at Howard University, her career progressed rapidly. She has a vast classical repertoire, but has always sought to extend her vocal capacity, attempting some of the most technically demanding music of the 20th century. One of today's most popular classical singers, she guarantees full houses wherever she performs. The full range and diversity of Jessye Norman's singing is featured here, from the London Opera Stage to recitals with the Dance Theater of Harlem. High School College Adult

Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star may not be the most sophisticated piece of music ever written. But hearing it played in concert by seventy very young, very dedicated violin students is wonderful indeed.
In this touching and inspiring documentary, we meet the gifted violinist and teacher, Dr. Chen Ho Yun. He works with YECCA (Youth Empowerment Center for Creative Achievement) in South Central Los Angeles, formed to provide low cost after-school music education for ghetto children. Chen Ho begins working closely with the children, empathizes with their vulnerability and their excitement, "…until the kids’ ears, minds and hearts open up." He teaches them discipline and respect for themselves as well as for their violins, to their parents’ amazement and delight.
The fact that Chen Ho is Korean and his pupils are African-American and Hispanic is important to YECCA, as this community is extremely sensitive to racial prejudice. After struggling and enduring hate-filled times in L.A., adults want to create a new age of cultural understanding for their kids. As one budding violinist says "people look at you differently when you say you play the violin." High School College Adult

This fascinating documentary on the life and music of Johann Sebastian Bach also explores the social, political and aesthetic forces in Germany during his time (1685-1750). Performances by soloists and ensembles, as well as commentary by distinguished Bach scholars, enliven the film. Violinist James Buswell, long identified with Bach's music, acts as both host and performer.
The story of Bach's life is told by visiting each German city where the composer lived, studied or worked, from Eisenach where he was born, to Leipzig where he died at the age of sixty five. Each location represents a turning point in his growth and musical development. As the documentary unfolds we are treated to several fine performances, including one by the boys choir of the St. Thomas Church in Leipzig. Supporting Mr. Buswell's interpretation are discussions by such well-known experts as Christian Wolff, Hans-Joachim Schulze of the Bach Archive in Leipzig, Paula Sutter Fichtner, a historian at City University of New York, and Blanche Honneger Moyse of the New England Bach Festival.
