Description In Pursuance Of Books The Infinity Concerto (Songs of Earth and Power #1)
There is a song you dare not sing - a melody that you dare not play, a concerto that you dare not hear: It is called a Song of Power. It is a gateway to another world - a gate that will lock behind you as you pass, barring you from the Earth forever. Resist at all cost. For it is a world of great danger and great beauty - and it is not good to be human in the Realm of the Sidhe.Itemize Books Supposing The Infinity Concerto (Songs of Earth and Power #1)

Could've used more music...I tried to read this book more than once when I was a wee thing...and it was still a bit of a slog this time, but I made it through!! I have always loved this premise, but it's ignored for all much of the story...I'm conflicted. It was definitely worth reading by the last third.There are a lot of seemingly unrelated threads to hang onto through the story, with no real indications that they will come together to make a complete tapestry until that last third, and even then there are some threads that really didn't get woven in, just tied off, for fringe.But somehow I truly liked it. It's not the typical fantasy tale with good and evil clearly defined, it's a realistic, fatalistic fantasy and the words
This is the book that made me love reading. I still consider it my favourite book. Absolutely love the story and the characters
a tale about fairies and magic and the power of the arts...short plot description: Michael Perrin, an aspiring young poet, is given a key and instructions by an elderly music composer. Following the instructions he finds himself in a quite different world. The Sidhe are ruling this world by magic and humans (who all somehow are connected to music) are a persecuted minority, only tolerated after a terrible battle which ended in devastation and an uncomfortable truce.Michael gets assigned to the
I've read this and the following book three times. It's not light hearted fantasy. Its a fantastical journey of the main character changing and changing again and again.

It's not very long but it's moderately deep and quite enjoyable if you like your
It took me a very long time to read, intermittently, this second edition of THE INFINITY CONCERTO. Like most quest fantasies, it is a series of thinly connected adventures with no sense of community. The writing is truly beautiful, but lacks depth of character, even in the single main character.
The title, summary, and about the first third of this book intrigued me very much, which made me all the more disappointed when it all went flat. Bear incorporates some excellent fantasy elements -- Lamia, the Crane Women, humans confined to a sort of ghetto in the realm of the Sidhe, the mystical power of music -- but he never seems to effectively meld the components into a coherent whole.The most obvious example is music: the title has the word "concerto" in it, Michael's translation into the
