Beach 6964 1182 — Concerto in E minor for String Orchestra . Antonio Vivaldi (Born about 1680 at Venice; died there in 1743) This concerto was edited for an Oxford publishing house by A. Mistovski. ' Vivaldi was born some time during the latter half of the seventeenth century at Venice, where his father was violinist at St. Mark's Church. Little is known about Antonio's early history. It is supposed that he spent several years in Germany. We know that he was director of music to Duke Philip of Hesse—some say Duke Philip of Hesse-Phil- ippsthal, Ernest Ludwig—at Mantua, where the Duke had a residence from 1707 to 1713, when he returned to Venice. He was appointed maestro de concerti at the Ospedale-della Pieta, a foundling hospital for girls, with a choir and an orchestra, all women. In 1714 he was appointed violinist at St. Mark's Church. He was red-headed and a priest, so he was known as "II Prese rosso." Vivaldi composed a great quantity of music for the violin (according to Riemann, there are in Dresden alone eighty concertos in manuscript), and he wrote operas from 1713 'to 1739—thirty-eight, it is said, twenty-two of them for Venice. Few of his works have been printed. His published compositions include twelve trios for two violins and violoncello . (Op. 1); eighteen violin sonatas with bass (Op. 2 and 5); "Estro Poetico," twelve concertos for four violins, two violas, violon- JUST ISSUED Schmidt's Collection of Short Trios FOR Violin, 'Cello and Pianoforte Short trios are always in demand and when musicians can find a number of interesting compositions in one collection they may well be grateful.

Other transcriptions for the clavier were made by Duke Ernst of Saxony, Benedetto Marcello, and Telemann. Vivaldi was a virtuoso, and as a composer he has been accused of writing for mere display and inventing novel effects to win applause. Dr. Burney pooh-poohed his "Stravaganze" for solo violin. Sir John Hawkins said of Op. 8: "The first four concertos are a pretended para- phrase in musical notes of so many sonnets on the four seasons, wherein the author endeavors by the force of harmony and particular modi- fications of air and measure to excite ideas correspondent with the sentiments of the several poems." But the Germans, Bach, Benda, and Quanz among them, thought highly of the Venetian.

  • Incandescent: Light Bulbs and Conspiracies1
    Dr Grace Halden recently completed her PhD at Birkbeck, University of London. Her doctoral research on science fiction brings together her interest in philosophy, technology and literature. She has a range of diverse VOLUME 5 NUMBER 2 SPRING 2015 publications including an edited book Concerning Evil and articles on Derrida and Doctor Who. [email protected] Article Incandescent: 1 Light Bulbs and Conspiracies Grace Halden / __________________________________________ Light bulbs are with us every day, illuminating the darkness or supplementing natural light. Light bulbs are common objects with a long history; they seem innocuous and easily terminated with the flick of a switch. The light bulb is an important invention that, as Roger Fouquet notes, was transformational with regard to industry, economy and the revolutionary ability to ‘live and work in a well-illuminated environment’.2 Wiebe Bijker, in Of Bicycles, Bakelites and Bulbs (1997), explains that light bulbs show an integration between technology and society and how these interconnected advancements have led to a sociotechnical evolution.3 However, in certain texts the light bulb has been portrayed as insidious, controlling, and dehumanising. How this everyday object has been curiously demonised will be explored here. Through looking at popular cultural conceptions of light and popular conspiracy theory, I will examine how the incandescent bulb has been portrayed in dystopian ways.4 By using the representative texts of The Light Bulb Conspiracy (2010), The X-Files (1993-2002), and Thomas Pynchon’s Gravity’s Rainbow (1973), I will explore how this commonplace object has been used to symbolise the malevolence of individuals and groups, and the very essence of technological development itself.

  • Archons (Commanders) [NOTICE: They Are NOT Anlien Parasites], and Then, in a Mirror Image of the Great Emanations of the Pleroma, Hundreds of Lesser Angels
    A R C H O N S HIDDEN RULERS THROUGH THE AGES A R C H O N S HIDDEN RULERS THROUGH THE AGES WATCH THIS IMPORTANT VIDEO UFOs, Aliens, and the Question of Contact MUST-SEE THE OCCULT REASON FOR PSYCHOPATHY Organic Portals: Aliens and Psychopaths KNOWLEDGE THROUGH GNOSIS Boris Mouravieff - GNOSIS IN THE BEGINNING ...1 The Gnostic core belief was a strong dualism: that the world of matter was deadening and inferior to a remote nonphysical home, to which an interior divine spark in most humans aspired to return after death. This led them to an absorption with the Jewish creation myths in Genesis, which they obsessively reinterpreted to formulate allegorical explanations of how humans ended up trapped in the world of matter. The basic Gnostic story, which varied in details from teacher to teacher, was this: In the beginning there was an unknowable, immaterial, and invisible God, sometimes called the Father of All and sometimes by other names. “He” was neither male nor female, and was composed of an implicitly finite amount of a living nonphysical substance. Surrounding this God was a great empty region called the Pleroma (the fullness). Beyond the Pleroma lay empty space. The God acted to fill the Pleroma through a series of emanations, a squeezing off of small portions of his/its nonphysical energetic divine material. In most accounts there are thirty emanations in fifteen complementary pairs, each getting slightly less of the divine material and therefore being slightly weaker. The emanations are called Aeons (eternities) and are mostly named personifications in Greek of abstract ideas.

I would also like to express my deep gratitude to my colleagues at Arendal Upper Secondary School, Steinar Tvedt, Inger Johanne Hermansen, Ane Kristine Bruland and Ida Wullum for their patient guidance and useful critique of my writing in English. Finally, I wish to thank my father, a proud working-class man, for his support and encouragement throughout my whole life. Throughout his life, he was never able to read English. Therefore, he “forced” me to translate my work for him. The Nazi-form of evil with Himmler, Mengele and Eichmann concerned him. Often, he asked me, how could a man (Eichmann) be that blinded? Without my father giving me motivation, I would never have come this far in my studies. 1 CONTENTS ABSTRACT …..5 CHAPTER 1, INTRODUCTION 1.1) General introduction of evil in movies …..6-7 1.2) My Research Question ……7 1.3) A short overview on the typologies of evil …..7-9 1.4) Defining evil …..9-10 1.5) A critique and defense of evil ….10-12 1.6) What is The X-files about? ….12-14 1.7) Why explore The X-Files? …..14-15 CHAPTER 2, METHODS 2.1) Theory and applied ethics …..16-18 2.2) Specific evil episodes as subjects for research and constructing analysis chapters ..18-19 2.3) The importance of using scientific work related to movies and evil …..19-21 2.4) Methodological inspiration for my thesis, work done by Dean A.

  • The X-Files Meets the Skeptics
    The X-Files Meets the Skeptics When Chris Carter, creator of the popular Fox TV drama The X-Files, spoke at the CSICOP Twentieth Anniversary Conference, the result wasn't quite what anyone expected. Chris Carter, creator and executive producer of ' T h e X-Files, was the invited luncheon banquet speaker for the first day of the World Skeptics Congress and CSICOP Twentieth Anniversary Conference in Amherst, New York. The banquet, in the atrium of the State University of New York at Buffalo Center for the Arts, was packed. Tables were jammed together. Other people listened from second floor walkways or while standing against the walls. We present here essentially the transcript, only slightly edited for brevity, of that fascinating event, which consisted of informal introductory remarks by Carter followed by an extensive question- and-answer session. Not all of the audiences questions were recorded but Carter summarized many of them before answering. Carter was introduced by reporter Eugene Emery of the Providence Journal-Bulletin, who, even though he had written several somewhat critical pieces about The X-Files, enthusiasti- cally supported that Carter be invited to speak and served as his host.
