  • Give Me Something to Sing About": Intertextuality and the Audience in "Once More, with Feeling"
    Chapter 12 "Give Me Something to Sing About": Intertextuality and the Audience in "Once More, with Feeling" Amy Bauer "I love all musicals." (Joss Whedon, audio commentary to "Once More, with Feeling.") Critics hailed "Once More, with Feeling" (6.7) as a brilliant example of the television musical. Its musical numbers flow from the narrative, yet prove integral to the seven-year arc of the series, and its eclectic but unified score was written expressly for the talents of a cast (mostly) new to the genre. Notably, its book, score, and concept all sprang from one mind, that of the Buffyverse's primary architect, Joss Whedon. Although untrained in musical composition, Whedon's affection for and knowledge of the American musical are everywhere evident, even if we did not have John Kenneth Muir's admission that he is a "virtual encyclopedia of musical film history."1 Analogous to the combined cinematic genres-from horror to religious epic-that mark Buf/Y the Vampire Slayer and Angel, "Once More, with Feeling" alludes to Sondheim and Loesser alongside the sardonic charm of 1940s music, 1950s swing jazz, 1970s arena rock, 1980s power ballads, and 1990s soft-rock confessionals, all within a lean, swift-moving structure that performs the dramatic functions of the classic American musical. Much has already been written regarding the novelty, influence, and intertextual richness of the Buf/Y musical.2 My contribution to that literature analyzes the musical structure of the songs themselves and places it in a dialogic relationship to the sources they summon. Such intertextual richness acknowledges fans' devotion to and knowledge of both the show's history and cultural references to the John Kenneth Muir, Singing a New Tune: The Rebirth ofthe Modern Film Musical, from Evita to De-Lovely and Beyond (New York, 2005), p.

I meditate precisely because My meditation proudly carries me To the shore I seek. —Sri Chinmoy What can meditation do for us? Meditation can do everything. It can help reduce nervousness, lower high blood pressure or improve concentration for study or work. Meditation can also fill us with peace and happiness. You can learn meditation as lightly or as deeply as you want. Sri Chinmoy taught these methods to thousands of students during his lifetime. His students have, in turn, used the same techniques while offering free meditation workshops to more than a million people in 60 countries. As Sri Chinmoy said, “Meditation is absolutely necessary for those who want to have a better and more fulfilling life. Meditation will give you inner joy and peace of mind. “If you wish to develop your talents or increase your capacity in any field, then I wish to say that it is obligatory to follow some inner discipline.

Flowing from these myths there is usually also a framework for practical day-to-day encounters between humans and Nature and between different human groups or tribes that carries the essence of the spiritual origins. In the remote past when these traditions developed, the theater of action was local, and the greater Nature was most likely a local or regional environment, e.g. a desert, tropical rainforest, prairies or the ocean, and spirituality was the beings who had dominion over the realm of Nature. Human populations were small and widely scattered in the vastness of surrounding landscapes. Their physical impacts on environment were not much greater than any other animal of comparable size and population. Today, almost eight billion humans occupy nearly every part of the global environment. We have developed technologies that on one hand produce many short-term benefits while on the other, catastrophic impacts not only on local environments and resources but also on the fabric of planetary atmosphere, soils, oceans, fresh water and biodiversity.
