1) An opera about this character is the subject of a long paper by University of Miami music professor Jeffrey Stern, in which he argues that opera should be considered among the canon of American opera classics along with the works of Menotti and Copeland. That opera about this character features an aria in which another character describes watching this man and seeing “a Glimmer of hope until the very last minute”. That opera about this character is by William Schuman and is called The Mighty this character. A literary work about this character describes a “pall-like silence [falling]” after Cooney died at first, and Barrows did the same. That poem describes this man’s visage shining with a smile of Christian charity, while later the air shattered by the force of his blow. That poem about him describes a situation where the Mudville Nine are losing by two, before this title character disappoints a stadium full of fans by striking out. For 10 points, identify this character in an 1888 poem often used to teach introductory poetry, the most enduring work of Ernest Thayer.

On this album, Spalding alludes both musically and conceptually to an idea of chamber music that got its recognizable shape in the nineteenth century with the canonization of classical repertoire, while still delivering a product that can be classified as ‘jazz’. Thus, Spalding positions herself within both discourses. Three issues feature prominently in these discourses that are particularly interesting because of Spalding’s position and background: the issues of ethnicity, gender and creative genius. While Spalding reinforces several elements of the idea of chamber music in her interviews, on issues of ethnicity, gender and genius she mostly does not comply to stereotypes (although some critics assessing her musicianship do). -
Spirit of Black Descendant Encouragement As Reflected in Black Gold Lyric by Esperanza Spalding
Spirit of Black Descendant Encouragement as Reflected in Black Gold Lyric by Esperanza Spalding a Journal by Renanda Prima Tyasa [A2B009054] English Department Faculty of Humanities Diponegoro University 2013 CHAPTER 1 ± Introduction The slavery era of black people from the 17th until 20th century had inherited wounds toward the descendants of black people. After Civil War (1861-1865), slavery was abolished by the combination of /incoln‘s Emancipation 3roclamation and the 13th Amendment to the Constitution in 1865. However, although the Blacks were no longer slaves, they were still treated as second class citizens and continued to live in poor conditions without many chances to make their life better. It would take a long time before their life would be improved. However today, people of black descendants in the United States are able to blend with society. Indeed, their presence is considered better these days. However, they factually are not totally free from discrimination. News is reporting about discriminations that are faced by black descendants nowadays. As for example is the killing plan that is conducted by white supremacist group Ku Klux Klan that put target into President Barack Obama. News canal thesun.co.uk published it on June 21st, 2013. It is said, Fanatics Glendon Scott Crawford, 49, and Eric Feight, 54, were nicked after a six- month FBI undercover operation. Mr Obama was among those said to have been targeted by the futuristic device that would have fired lethal doses of radiation. Engineer Crawford, a member of the white supremacist group the Ku Klux Klan, told undercover agents his design was —Hiroshima on a light switch“. -

Some follow a strict regimen to invite Career the muse, while others depend on the harsh reality of deadlines and bills to inspire their creative process. Still others swear by long walks, prayer, yoga, or just the right psychedelics. A few even mine their dreams. Emily, however, needs none of this. She knows exactly what moves her, and she knows how to get it: Complex chords, hard-hitting drums, multi-tracked vocals, shifting time signatures, loud guitars with over- drive, and theatricality are the things that rock her world, and when it’s time to shine, Emily is happy to step up and wail. -
