  • PILGRIMAGE a Project of Lorelei, Unplugged
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Jonah Kappraff, [email protected] 862-205-9563 Cambridge, MA- April 22, 2013 PILGRIMAGE a project of Lorelei, unPLUGGED Friday, May 10 BU, Marsh Chapel 735 Commonwealth Avenue Boston, MA 8pm Purchase Tickets at: www.loreleiensemble.com $20 General Admission/$12 Students/Seniors The eight women of Boston’s Lorelei Ensemble announce the third concert series of their 2012- 13 season featuring music of Hildegard von Bingen and Guillaume Du Fay alongside the premiere of two new multimedia works by composer/videographer collaborators Reiko Yamada/Sibylle Irma and Isaac Schankler/Chris O’Leary. The program will be presented on Friday, January 10 at Boston University’s Marsh Chapel (8pm). Pilgrimage, a project of Lorelei’s new unPLUGGED multimedia series, explores concepts of spirituality and pilgrimage from ancient and contemporary perspectives. Consistent with Lorelei’s commitment to programming early and new music side-by-side, small ensembles set the stage for each half of the program with the music of Hildegard von Bingen and Guillaume Du Fay. Selected responsories from Hildegard’s Scivias portray some of the composer’s earliest visions. Hildegard’s transcendent melodies elevate the already rich symbolism in her deeply rooted poetry. The strength and optimism of Guillaume Du Fay’s motet Rite Majorem reflect its ties to the service for St. James the Greater, patron saint of pilgrims. His shrine at Santiago de Compostela in Northwest Spain continues to be a destination for Christian pilgrims from around the world. The World Premiere of two new works commissioned by the ensemble explore both secular and sacred concepts of spirituality: The Familiar Spirit (2013) turns the first recorded instance of "spirit-rapping" communication into a series of poetic vignettes that explore the spiritual and social significance of the medium in the 19th-century.

  • The Complete Stories
    The Complete Stories by Franz Kafka a.b.e-book v3.0 / Notes at the end Back Cover : "An important book, valuable in itself and absolutely fascinating. The stories are dreamlike, allegorical, symbolic, parabolic, grotesque, ritualistic, nasty, lucent, extremely personal, ghoulishly detached, exquisitely comic. numinous and prophetic." -- New York Times "The Complete Stories is an encyclopedia of our insecurities and our brave attempts to oppose them." -- Anatole Broyard Franz Kafka wrote continuously and furiously throughout his short and intensely lived life, but only allowed a fraction of his work to be published during his lifetime. Shortly before his death at the age of forty, he instructed Max Brod, his friend and literary executor, to burn all his remaining works of fiction. Fortunately, Brod disobeyed. Page 1 The Complete Stories brings together all of Kafka's stories, from the classic tales such as "The Metamorphosis," "In the Penal Colony" and "The Hunger Artist" to less-known, shorter pieces and fragments Brod released after Kafka's death; with the exception of his three novels, the whole of Kafka's narrative work is included in this volume. The remarkable depth and breadth of his brilliant and probing imagination become even more evident when these stories are seen as a whole. This edition also features a fascinating introduction by John Updike, a chronology of Kafka's life, and a selected bibliography of critical writings about Kafka.
