It is not unusual for a festive song to be the best seller at Christmas, but Carey's famous song was first released 25 years ago. When the song first came out in 1994, it was on a record with several other songs. This meant it was not allowed to compete in Billboard's Hot 100 chart. Rules have been changed over the years. Carey's song has got near number one several times since 1994. The singer said she was very happy her song finally hit the top spot. She tweeted: "We did it". The song is also currently the most streamed song in the U.K. on the music streaming service Spotify. Mariah Carey was born in 1969. She is a singer, songwriter, actress, record producer, and entrepreneur. She is now the solo artist with the most ever number ones in the U.S. chart. She is one behind The Beatles, who had 20 number ones. The Guinness World Records book called her the "Songbird Supreme". She has a unique voice and can sing in five different octaves. Her song "All I Want For Christmas Is You" is famous worldwide. It has become an essential tune at Christmas parties and family get-togethers. Wikipedia said: "The track is an up-tempo love song that includes bell chimes, heavy back-up vocals, and synthesizers....It is the most played holiday song in modern history."

D. in Film and Television Studies University of Warwick November 1997 ABSTRACT This thesis examines the ways in which heterosexuality is rendered in the Hollywood genre where its existence is most privileged: musicals of the studio era (c. 1930 - c. 1960). In this popular film category, heterosexuality is expressed in a framework of "boy-meets-girl" amatory coupling that is remarkably amplified and insistent. In analysis that is at once sympathetic and critical of the subject matter, I show that heterosexuality in the Hollywood musical is constructed in a way that is far from monolithic. On the contrary, I find that there are in fact varieties of heterosexual identity that exist in the genre, and that they are most succinctly revealed through romantic engagement. Yet heterosexuality is depicted along divergent formulations owing to contrasting relational aims and assumptions. Building on Richard Dyer's 1993 essay, 'III Seem to Find the Happiness I Seek': Heterosexuality and Dance in the Musical, " I will discuss how the basis of these separate models is traceable to different approaches related to power distributions between men and women.

ARTISTIC DIRECTOR I’m pinching myself. Is it really the last show of the 14 – 15 season? Seems like just yesterday it was May ‘14 and I was announcing to my students what the shows you have enjoyed this season would be. Those announcements are always made full of anticipation and uncertainty. We embark bravely on a plan that is intentionally creative, complicated, academically valuable, Liberal Arts focused, challenging and fun. We pray that our plans will be Divinely blessed and pray the prayer that never fails, Thy Will Be Done. They were and it was and He did and we are thankful. It has been said that Irving Berlin didn’t write American music, he was American music. Over the years he was known for writing music and lyrics in the American vernacular: uncomplicated, simple and direct, with his stated aim being to “reach the heart of the average American,” whom he saw as the “real soul of the country.” In doing so, said Walter Cronkite, at Berlin’s 100th birthday tribute, he “helped write the story of this country, capturing the best of who we are and the dreams that shape our lives.” I Love a Piano then becomes somewhat of a review of the American narrative and an exploration of how art speaks into and reflects the culture and political climate in which it was written.

  • February 2013 Newsletter
    February 2013 Newsletter Changes at the Library The Board of Trustees announces that The Cornwall Library’s long time director, Amy Worthington Cady, has offered her resignation effective February 1. After much contemplation Amy has decided to relocate to Manchester, Connecticut, to be with her husband, Scott Cady, who is pastor at the Emanuel Lutheran Church in Manchester. “Amy has been the mainstay of the Library for a decade,” said Marnell Stover, president of the Board of Trustees, “and we greatly appreciate her helping us to make the transition a smooth one. We shall miss her deep knowledge of the community and the Library, but we understand the difficulties of having one’s family in two different towns. We wish her and Scott all the best.” Amy joined the staff in 2003 and has been with the Library in its new building and location almost since the beginning. She has made an invaluable contribution to its growth as a center of Cornwall intellectual, social and cultural life. Under her stewardship, the Library’s collection has grown to some 29,000 print and non-print items, and the institution has offered a lively variety of programs, from talks and concerts to movies and storybook hours, appealing to the diverse audience that makes up the Cornwall community. To meet staffing needs the Board will post two positions: Director of The Cornwall Library and Associate Director of the Cornwall Library. The positions re-align some of the responsibilities of the Library staff and put new emphasis on library science and computer expertise. The immediate goal is to hire a new Director who, in turn, would hire the Associate Director.
