Stuck, I look upon the light of you And strike the closing flame with fright. But yet! We climb, and see each other clear. Inside a cloud of light we open fast. Burning, holy bright as it draws near, Until I turn and see the thing at last. It’s then we fall and wake ourselves with life; With bursting pulse I breathe and see the sun. The morning opens with its glory rife And looks upon the things that we have done. Nothing more can mean as much as this, If not for you–the beauty I would miss. Frightfully Mortal Greg Van Dyke |Oil Paint on Canvas 4 5 Christmas Breakfast Hindsight Teresa Harwood Joseph Klingman — — The stairs are wrapped with holly and with twine; Some fledgling words I paddle from my room, eyes glued with sleep. Have a habit of falling from the nest Mom’s flipping sausage: “Morning! about time.” Blighted, premature, or otherwise The biscuits are halfway done. Dad hovers To their death— beside the George Foreman grill, watching dew Reincarnating as vultures condense and drip from the glass that covers To pick the meat from my bones the unfrozen hashbrowns.

I like this job. I bought almost nothing but am given all and give all away. 6 7 To be close to you The Boy Who Lived Matt Schmincke Donnelly Warren — — the way we walk, I’ve managed to see them once or twice over and out, Twice today I’ve felt them watching me beautiful sun on beautiful earth, Me, the boy who lived and it shifts. Lived for so many years in emptiness holding my head Emptiness filled with stuff I sweat in radiant mirth, Stuffing to soften the cold, hard lie but it’s never too much Lying on my bed, wondering for me or for you, Wandering amidst could-have-beens much if you know how it works. Bins filled with metal tools it doesn’t matter, Tools that took away their chance the things that i think and Chance was they could have lived well the things that i feel. Well, at least they could have lived opening the sun, Lived here with me I laugh with you Me, the boy who lived. and it shifts. But this expansive house is solely mine Mine to hate Hate my parents I do not Not that I’ll ever forgive. Forgive me for living Living the life they never can Can I ever find release? Release the hounds Hounds, let them tear me apart Apart from a couple of genes we were the same Same day, same struggles Struggles that I can not overcome Overcome with grief I wail for the lost Lost, the feeling bites me Me, the boy who lived. 8 9 A Foul November Teresa Harwood — New neighbors moved next door I heard the ruckus four doors away And went over to end the foul Noise but they saw me coming Eyes wide, one told the other, “Fly, fly” With a hop and a leap, they soared And the noise barreled out-- not to stay. But my neighbors now live right here-- In this freezer. Tomorrow’s Thanksgiving, Maybe, let’s have turkey. Tornadoland Abi Ogle | Photo, Acrylic, Ash, Alabama Clay 10 11 congregations from the tv.

Feel free to link to this archive. Send questions to [email protected] Pippin: Corner of the Sky alternate lyrics? Question: Dear Stephen, I'm a fan for over 30 years, blah blah. I have a question about Corner of the Sky. I've seen two different sets of lyrics for it; the one I'm familiar with has the lyrics "Rain comes after thunder; winter comes after fall" while the other one uses "Thunderclouds have their lightning". I learned the one I learned because that's the version my 1983 singing partner Heidi knew. Can you enlighten me about these differing versions? Also, for some strange reason my brain keeps wanting to do "Rivers will run" instead of "Rivers belong" and "Children play in" instead of "Children fit in"-- I think I was doing that back in '83 too. Why do I do that? Did such lyrics ever exist, or is it just my brain acting weird (and if so, should I correct myself?)? …Thank you for all your wonderful contributions both in the music world and on this board, archived messages of which I've been reading the past few days and from which I'm receiving much inspiration and support. -Walter Answer from Stephen Schwartz: Your guess was a good one.

  • 2021 Breeze Show Choir Catalog
    Previously Arranged Titles (updated 2/24/21) Specific details about each arrangement (including audio samples and cost) are available at https://breezetunes.com . The use of any of these arrangements requires a valid custom arrangement license purchased from https://tresonamusic.com . Their licensing fees typically range from $180 to $280 per song and must be paid before you can receive your music. Copyright approval frequently takes 4-6 weeks, sometimes longer, so plan accordingly. If changes to the arrangement are desired, there is an additional fee of $100. Examples of this include re-voicing (such as from SATB to another voice part), rewriting band parts, making cuts, adding an additional verse, etc. **Arrangements may be transposed into a different key free of charge, provided that the change does not make re-voicing necessary** For songs that do not have vocal rehearsal tracks, these can be created for $150/song. To place an order, send an e-mail to [email protected] or submit a license request on Tresona listing Garrett Breeze as the arranger, Tips for success using Previously Arranged Titles: • Most arrangements can be made to work in any voicing, so don’t be afraid to look at titles written for other combinations of voices than what you have. Most SATB songs, for example, can be easily reworked for SAT. • Remember that show function is one of the most important things to consider when purchasing an arrangement. For example, if something is labelled in the catalog as a Song 2/4, it is probably not going to work as a closer.

    Pippin Themes and Meaning The following questions and answers are from the archive of the StephenSchwartz.com Forum. Copyright by Stephen Schwartz 2010 all rights reserved. No part of this content may be reproduced without prior written consent, including copying material for other websites. Feel free to link to this archive. Send questions to [email protected] Pippin: The True Meaning Of Question: I am studying your musical, Pippin for my English class. I would like some personal information from you yourself on your thoughts and feeling behind the "true" meaning. Answer from Stephen Schwartz: Thank you for your EMail. Basically, PIPPIN is about a young man in search of what to do with his life. But like many of us in contemporary society, particularly those with enough economic freedom to allow choice, he has the illusion that there is one particular choice which, if only he finds it, will lead to complete fulfillment and contentment. He has not yet learned that it is the process of seeking that contains the joy, not the attainment of the goal itself. He also is quite selfish in his pursuits at the beginning, as most of us are when we are young. It isn't until he learns to give himself to someone else (Catherine and her son) that he begins to find a sense of inner peace and self-worth. Ultimately, he realizes that the demand for something without flaw or compromise is not just self-defeating but ultimately self-destructive. He must come to accept that life is never perfect and that what we have to do is find something and someone to care about, devote ourselves to that, and do the best we can.

  • MICHAEL JACKSON : Remembering the King of Pop
    MICHAEL JACKSON : Remembering the King of Pop by Valerie Mikell During an interview at the height of his career, Michael Jackson was asked, “What do you know for sure?” He replied, “I’m still learning…I can’t say I know anything for sure.” By that time, he’d been performing for more than three decades. He’d been crowned The King of Pop. He’d already released the world’s best selling album, which also earned a record-breaking eight Grammys during one show. If someone had asked him that same question little more than a decade later, what would he have replied? Reflecting on the dramatic twists and turns his life had taken, he may have reminded us that he knew he was talented. He knew he was flawed. And he realized that he was only human. Until his sudden passing at the young age of 50, Michael and the world may have forgotten that he was just a man. Much like Michael Jackson, the legends or icons we revere are not born into wealth or fed from birth with a silver spoon. They come from families filled with regular folk who work at ordinary jobs in the hopes of keeping food on the table. What is it that drives the artists and performers we idolize? Is it a need to stand out and showcase their individuality? Is it the obligation to make good of the gifts that have been bestowed upon them? Is it the desire to provide a better life for their families? Many of these things may have contributed to the success of Michael Jackson, who began his musical journey alongside his brothers and whose solo career catapulted himself to mega stardom.

Trinidad originally was a western frontier town. With it being a frontier town it also had lots of bars and brothels— and churches. So there was lots of sinning and lots of repenting, I guess you could say. :56 LE: Trinidad is the spiritual center for transsexuals. 1:08 [music out] 1:08 [music in] 1:57 [music out] 1:57 [marching band] 2:29 Carney: I went to the hospital and they told me they wanted to put me under for some surgery on my knee, and I told them I didn’t want them to put me under because I had heard it was the sex change capital of the world and I wanted to wake up with everything I came with. 2:38 Woman in tank: You’re from Trinidad, the sex change capital of the world? Yes, unfortunately. 2:43 Cowboy: They ask where you’re from and you say “Trinidad, Colorado,” and they’re like, “Oh [laughs], that place.” 2:49 Bearded guy with cap: I wanted to move cuz that shit’s disgusting.

  • Lount Shasta Journal 1917- 1923
    lount Shasta Journal 1917- 1923 by Edward Stuhl J MOUNT SHASTA JOURNAL. 1917 - 1923 by EDWARD STUHL. Association for Northern California Records and Research Chico, California 1989 A Word about this Text— We have edited this manuscript as gently as possible. To preserve the integrity of the text written by Edward Stuhl, whenever clarity was not an issue, we have allowed Mr. Stuhl's original spelling, grammar, word choice, punctuation, and capitalization to stand — such as, "I set in the cold," and, "optical delusion." We have silently corrected obvious typographical errors (e.g., "ticket"for "ticked") and occasionally some words or phrases where his intent was clear, but the clarity of the passage was an issue (e.g., "stacks of hay" for "stakes of hay"). Any other changes, such as the addition of omitted letters, are indicated within square brackets. The original manuscripts are available for study in the Meriam Library's Special Resources Department at California State University, Chico. —Ramona Flynn and Sarah E. Newton INTRODUCTION When he set out on a 350-mile trip to Mount Shasta in June 1917, little did Ed Stuhl realize that he was beginning a pilgrimage that would consume his interest for the remaining sixty seven years of his life. Born in 1887, Stuhl spent his early years hiking and climbing the Austrian Alps. In 1912 he climbed his first American mountain, Mount Tamalpais. In the years before his first trip to Mount Shasta, he climbed Mount Tamalpais several times and went to the top of Mount St Helena. This volume contains accounts of StuhPs two earliest trips to Mount Shasta, traveling by railroad, foot, wagon, and car.
