Revelation Software Took Advantage of Linux World Platform to Announce Sponsorship of Sir Tim Rice's New Production of Revelation Software took advantage of Linux World Platform to announce sponsorship of Sir Tim Rice's new production of "Blondel" Submitted by: Revelation Software Wednesday, 8 November 2006 London, UK 8th November 2006. Revelation Software (http://www.revsoft.co.uk) announced today that they were proud to be sponsoring Sir Tim Rice’s latest production ‘Blondel’ - a brand new version of the cult musical. Legend has it that when ‘Richard the Lionheart’ was captured on his way back from the Crusades by Leopold, the Duke of Austria; his brother, Prince John refused to pay the ransom. It was only the loyal and dogged pursuit of the king by the court musician, Blondel, that saved the country from certain ruin. Commenting on Revelation Software sponsoring Blondel, producer Pete Shaw stated “We are very excited to have Revelation Software sponsoring us on the remake of this amazing production. We have a wonderful cast and production team including: Chris Grierson (Hollyoaks) as Blondel and Abi Finley (How Do You Solve a Problem Like Maria?) as Fiona. Without the generous and continued support of Revelation Software, this production would not have been what it is shaping up to be today.” Managing Director of Revelation Software Francesca McAuley stated “Blondel was first performed in the same year that Revelation Software first started selling their database software solutions in Europe - 1983. It seems fitting then that in this re-launch year for Sir Tim Rice's rewritten version of Blondel, we present our rewritten version of our flagship database product OpenInsight for the Linux market.” To celebrate this synchronicity, Revelation Software (http://www.revsoft.co.uk) gave away 5 pairs of tickets to see Blondel during the Linux World Exhibition. -ends- Contact: Francesca McAuley Revelation Software Tel: +44 (0) 20 8912 1000 Email: [email protected] 45 St Mary’s Road London W5 5RGContact: Louise Gray-Murray (Partner) Bubble & Squeak Tel: +44 (0) 20 7287 4261 Email: [email protected] Page 1 80 Berwick St London W1F 8TU About Revelation Software (http://www.revsoft.co.uk) Founded in 1982, Revelation Software delivers a suite of application development tools and companion services that take full advantage of leading network computing architectures, messaging, groupware, and client server platforms.

About the Blondel Production Team:- • Sir Tim Rice - Lyricist: He famously collaborated with Andrew Lloyd Webber to produce the work that both are best known for: Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, Jesus Christ Superstar, and Evita. He has also worked as a lyricist in pop music, worked for Disney on projects with Alan Menken (Aladdin, Beauty and the Beast for the stage, King David) and Elton John (The Lion King, Aida). • Patrick Wilde - Director: Patrick Wilde trained as an actor at the Webber Douglas Academy. He worked extensively as an actor, parts played including: Hamlet, Roderigo in Othello, Amnon in Tirso da Molina’s The Rape of Tamar at the Lyric Hammersmith and Antony in ATC’s Antony and Cleopatra. As a director, he also concentrated on classics including: the British Premiere of Schiller’s Cabal and Love again at the Lyric. He directed shows several times at the Edinburgh Festival, including the cult show Sell Out! by Jonathan Rich in 1987 and 1989. In 1990 he directed a show for The British Council which toured Pakistan and caused a street riot (including gunfire) in Lahore for its "scandalous" depiction of women in society. Patrick was commissioned to write the film version, Get Real, which won the Edinburgh Film Festival Audience prize, both audience and jury prizes at The Dinard Film Festival and The Sydney Mardi Gras Film Festival. Patrick directed Blondel for the first time in 1987 at the Lost Theatre. • Pete Shaw - Producer: A curious fact about Pete is that every school he ever attended has since been demolished; this may just Page 2 be a coincidence. His career has included Broadcaster on Capital Radio, Deputy Editor of Your Sinclair magazine, author of a slew of technical books and Marketing Director of a video editing company. In 2002 he collaborated with Wilde to produce Patrick's second play, You Couldn't Make It Up at the Gilded Balloon. The Gilded Balloon burnt down later that year. Pete also produced the London production of You Couldn't Make It Up at the New End Theatre in Hampstead in 2003.

    MASARYK UNIVERSITY Faculty of Education Department of English Language and Literature ANDREW LLOYD WEBBER’S MUSICALS Diploma Thesis Brno 2009 Radka Adamová Supervisor: Mgr. Lucie Podroužková, PhD. 1 BIBLIOGRAPHICAL ENTRY Adamová, Radka. Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Musicals Brno: Masaryk University, Faculty of Education, Department of English Language and Literature, 2007. Diploma thesis supervisor Mgr. Lucie Podroužková, Ph. D. ANNOTATION This diploma thesis deals with British musical composer Andrew Lloyd Webber and his works. The first part of the thesis introduces Lloyd Webber’s biography, his close collaborators as well as his production company the Really Useful Group and description of all his works. The main part of the thesis is aimed at his musicals Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat and Jesus Christ Superstar , rather their origin and development, the main plot and their main characters that have many things in common. Both these musicals are based on topics from the Bible. The thesis also deals with the librettos and their translation into Czech. ANOTACE Diplomová práce se zabývá britským hudebním skladatelem Andrew Lloyd Webberem a jeho díly. První část práce seznamuje s Lloyd Webberovým životopisem, jeho blízkými spolupracovníky, stejně jako s jeho produkční společností Really Useful Group a popisem všech jeho děl. Hlavní část práce je zaměřena na muzikály Josef a jeho úžasný pestrobarevný plášť a Jesus Christ Superstar , přesněji řečeno jejich vznik a vývoj, hlavní dějovou linii a jejich hlavní postavy, které mají mnoho společného. Oba tyto muzikály jsou založeny na příbězích z Bible. Práce se také zabýva librety obou muzikálů a jejich překladem do češtiny. 2 I declare that I have worked on this thesis on my own and used only the sources listed in the Bibliography.

    THE HISTORICAL AND PEDAGOGICAL SIGNIFICANCE OF EXCERPTS BY ANDRÉ-ERNEST-MODESTE GRÉTRY (1741–1813) Jennifer Marie Youngs, B.M, M.M. Dissertation Prepared for the Degree of DOCTOR OF MUSICAL ARTS UNIVERSITY OF NORTH TEXAS May 2019 APPROVED: Carol Wilson, Major Professor Rebecca Geoffroy-Schwinden, Committee Member Jeffrey Snider, Committee Member Molly Fillmore, Chair of the Division of Vocal Studies Felix Olschofka, Interim Director of Graduate Studies in the College of Music John W. Richmond, Dean of the College of Music Victor Prybutok, Dean of the Toulouse Graduate School Youngs, Jennifer Marie. The Historical and Pedagogical Significance of Excerpts by André-Ernest-Modeste Grétry (1741–1813). Doctor of Musical Arts (Performance), May 2019, 84 pp., 9 figures, bibliography, 50 titles. This collection of 9 vocal works, taken from the oœuvre of André-Ernest-Modeste Grétry (1741–1813), was chosen for their utility in teaching undergrad voice majors. This collection offers a group of songs that are attractive in their simplicity allowing the time in their lessons to be devoted to the instruction of French pronunciation. Grétry’s attention to detail in the setting of French prosody provides undergraduate singers with a collection of songs that offer an immediate understanding as to the nuances of the French language. With funding from an I-GRO grant through the University of North Texas, research was conducted in the archives of the Bibliothèque nationale de France, and work continued in the Grétry Museum in Liège, Belgium. The primary sources found within these locations formulated valuable insights into to the life and influence of Grétry, and provided first-hand experience with research techniques within foreign libraries.

The story at the center of this contem- porary Aida is the legend that became the libretto of Giuseppe Verdi’s opera of the same name. This classic tale of forbidden love, set against the backdrop of Ancient Egypt and enhanced by the extraordinary talents of its composer and lyricist, Elton John and Tim Rice, makes Aida a unique and special educational tool. information desk information By using the study guide, you will see how Aida exposes us to the past (History), expands our visual and verbal vocabulary (Language Arts), illuminates the human condition (Behavioral Studies), demonstrates a process of analysis and implementa- tion (Math and Science), and encourages creative thinking and expression (The Arts). The study guide was developed as a series of lesson plans that, although inspired by and themed around Aida, can also accompany class study of other literary, theatrical, or historical works. To assist you in preparing your presentation of each lesson, we have included an objective; an excerpt from the lyrics of the Broadway production of Aida; a discussion topic; a writing assignment; and an interactive class activity. A reproducible handout accompanies each lesson unit which contains an essay ques- tion; a creative exercise; and an “after hours activity” that encourages students to interact with family, friends, and the community at large.
