SUMMARY:Words & Music - Joni Mitchell 6-Part Lecture Series
DESCRIPTION:Explore the life and music of one of the most influential and beloved singer-songwriters of all time\, Joni Mitchell with Dr. Mike Daley. \nIn this course\, we’ll do a deep dive into the career and artistic journey of this iconic artist\, from her early folk roots to her groundbreaking forays into jazz and pop. Along the way\, we’ll listen to and analyze classic songs like “Big Yellow Taxi\,” “Both Sides Now\,” and “Woodstock\,” as well as delve into the personal and cultural influences that shaped Mitchell’s unique and enduring sound. Whether you’re a long-time fan or new to the music of Joni Mitchell\, this course will deepen your appreciation and understanding of her enduring legacy. \nLecture Outline\nMonday\, April 17 at 10am: Early years in Canada \nJoni Mitchell was born into a middle-class family in western Canada\, growing up as an artistic and spirited child. After an unplanned pregnancy\, Joni moved to Toronto to bear a daughter (and soon give her up for adoption) and begin a career as a folk musician. We’ll examine her early years playing the coffeehouses in Yorkville and the start of her songwriting career. \nMonday\, April 24 at 10am: Joni’s breakthrough \nEven as the folk scene declined\, Joni’s engaging live performances and finely crafted songs attracted the attention of influential tastemakers and put her in the upper echelon of rock music. We’ll examine her first album Song To A Seagull\, her more accomplished follow-up\, Clouds\, and a third album\, Ladies of The Canyon\, which contained the massive radio hit\, “Big Yellow Taxi.” \nMonday\, May 1 at 10am: Rock stardom \nThe release of Blue in 1971 confirmed Joni’s legendary status in the popular music of the ’70s and cemented her image as the model of a singer-songwriter. We’ll examine the emergence of Joni’s new full band sound on her albums For The Roses and the mega-selling Court and Spark\, establishing a format that she would retain throughout the rest of her career. \nMonday\, May 8 at 10am: Jazz explorations \nHer fame assured\, Joni spent the latter half of the 1970s developing a new jazz-influenced approach to her music. She collaborated with legends like Charles Mingus\, Jaco Pastorius and Pat Metheny\, and produced a series of fascinating albums that never found large audiences: The Hissing Of Summer Lawns\, Hejira\, Don Juan’s Restless Daughter and Mingus. \nMonday\, May 15 at 10am: Navigating the changing pop landscape \nThe 1980s represented a sea change in the music business – and in Joni’s music too. After a return to form with her 1982 album Wild Things Run Fast\, she tried to update her sound and subject matter on Dog Eat Dog and Chalk Mark in a Rainstorm. Meanwhile\, a second marriage and a reunion with the daughter she gave up for adoption provided her with the personal stability to start revisiting her past. \n(Monday May 22 is the Victoria Day long weekend) \nMonday\, May 29 at 10am: Latest works and legacy projects \nOver the last 25 years\, Joni has balanced interesting new albums with orchestral remakes of her greatest hits. A brain aneurysm suffered in 2015 lowered her profile\, but her influence as a performer and songwriter remains huge. We’ll close the series by examining the many tributes she’s received in recent years and her enduring place in the pantheon of popular songwriters. \nCoffee will be made available during the morning lectures.

DESCRIPTION:Explore the life and music of one of the most influential and beloved singer-songwriters of all time\, Joni Mitchell with Dr. Mike Daley. \nIn this course\, we’ll do a deep dive into the career and artistic journey of this iconic artist\, from her early folk roots to her groundbreaking forays into jazz and pop. Along the way\, we’ll listen to and analyze classic songs like “Big Yellow Taxi\,” “Both Sides Now\,” and “Woodstock\,” as well as delve into the personal and cultural influences that shaped Mitchell’s unique and enduring sound. Whether you’re a long-time fan or new to the music of Joni Mitchell\, this course will deepen your appreciation and understanding of her enduring legacy. \nLecture Outline\nMonday\, April 17 at 10am: Early years in Canada \nJoni Mitchell was born into a middle-class family in western Canada\, growing up as an artistic and spirited child. After an unplanned pregnancy\, Joni moved to Toronto to bear a daughter (and soon give her up for adoption) and begin a career as a folk musician. We’ll examine her early years playing the coffeehouses in Yorkville and the start of her songwriting career. \nMonday\, April 24 at 10am: Joni’s breakthrough \nEven as the folk scene declined\, Joni’s engaging live performances and finely crafted songs attracted the attention of influential tastemakers and put her in the upper echelon of rock music. We’ll examine her first album Song To A Seagull\, her more accomplished follow-up\, Clouds\, and a third album\, Ladies of The Canyon\, which contained the massive radio hit\, “Big Yellow Taxi.” \nMonday\, May 1 at 10am: Rock stardom \nThe release of Blue in 1971 confirmed Joni’s legendary status in the popular music of the ’70s and cemented her image as the model of a singer-songwriter. We’ll examine the emergence of Joni’s new full band sound on her albums For The Roses and the mega-selling Court and Spark\, establishing a format that she would retain throughout the rest of her career. \nMonday\, May 8 at 10am: Jazz explorations \nHer fame assured\, Joni spent the latter half of the 1970s developing a new jazz-influenced approach to her music. She collaborated with legends like Charles Mingus\, Jaco Pastorius and Pat Metheny\, and produced a series of fascinating albums that never found large audiences: The Hissing Of Summer Lawns\, Hejira\, Don Juan’s Restless Daughter and Mingus. \nMonday\, May 15 at 10am: Navigating the changing pop landscape \nThe 1980s represented a sea change in the music business – and in Joni’s music too. After a return to form with her 1982 album Wild Things Run Fast\, she tried to update her sound and subject matter on Dog Eat Dog and Chalk Mark in a Rainstorm. Meanwhile\, a second marriage and a reunion with the daughter she gave up for adoption provided her with the personal stability to start revisiting her past. \n(Monday May 22 is the Victoria Day long weekend) \nMonday\, May 29 at 10am: Latest works and legacy projects \nOver the last 25 years\, Joni has balanced interesting new albums with orchestral remakes of her greatest hits. A brain aneurysm suffered in 2015 lowered her profile\, but her influence as a performer and songwriter remains huge. We’ll close the series by examining the many tributes she’s received in recent years and her enduring place in the pantheon of popular songwriters. \nCoffee will be made available during the morning lectures.

SUMMARY:Building God's Beloved Community Online Book Launch
DESCRIPTION:The United Church Publishing House is releasing a new book\, with an online launch with United in Learning. Join Stephen Fetter and editor Taylor Croissant as they discuss the book. Participants will receive a time-limited discount coupon. Be sure to join us “live” so you can make use of this! \nSome book background: As disciples of Jesus\, we are called to grow in our faith and to serve the church. In The United Church of Canada\, we prepare for the lifetime commitment of discipleship by becoming full members of the church. Building God’s Beloved Community is an accessible and engaging primer designed to accompany you during this period of preparation—whether you’re embarking on adult baptism\, considering confirmation\, or seeking to enrich your faith through deeper study.\nDrawing on the expertise of United Church theologians and ministers from across the country\, Building God’s Beloved Community outlines the church’s approach to some of the big questions about God\, the Bible\, and theology\, narrates the life of Jesus as both a historical figure and the messiah\, and provides an overview of the history of Christianity and the United Church. This book also offers insight into United Church worship\, tradition\, doctrine\, and governance\, while introducing readers to its legacy of social justice as a lived expression of faith. \nIf you’re considering being discipled into the wider body of Christ in the context of The United Church of Canada\, this book will offer an ideal accompaniment to your period of intentional preparation. Together with prayer and worship\, it will draw you closer to God as it invites you into beloved community and encourages you to move out into the world to love and serve. \nContributors to the book:\nSusanne Abbuhl\nPhyllis D. Airhart\nSandra Beardsall\nJordan Cantwell\nSusalm Chisholm\nTaylor Croissant\nRob Fennell\nAdriean Jacobs\nWilliam S Kervin\nYunJung Kim\nAndrew Kinoti Lairenge\nAndrew O’Neill\nBill Richards\nDon Schweitzer\nJohn H. Young
