Brochure De La Saison 2021-2022
Les Talens Lyriques Les Talens Lyriques ont 30 ans ! ui, nous célébrerons cet anniversaire coûte que coûte. O Quelle longévité ! Je ne l’aurais moi-même jamais espé- rée. Comment m’imaginer diriger tant d’opéras, italiens et français, comment imaginer Les Talens à l’opéra de Sydney, de Versailles ou de Drottningholm, comment aurais-je pu me voir diriger du Berlioz, du Verdi, du Gounod ? Ma grande satisfaction est d’avoir tenu ma ligne entre la France et l’Italie, d’avoir pu éviter l’effet pour l’effet, d’avoir pris des risques avec les trompettistes mais aussi les cornistes et autres aventuriers du baroque pour retrouver les techniques et les sonorités « justes ». Je ne rougis d’aucune eau dans le vin que je respecte trop pour l’édulcorer. Cette saison marquera aussi nos 15 ans d’actions pédagogiques dans les écoles et les collèges. Aujourd’hui, les partenariats se transforment et se multiplient, de nou- veaux projets se développent dans ce souci de transmis- sion qui m’est si cher. Bien sûr, tous ces accomplissements ne seraient pos- sibles sans l’aide de nos partenaires qui nous soutiennent fidèlement depuis de nombreuses années. Sans eux, Les Talens Lyriques n’auraient pu mener à bien tous ces beaux projets. Qu’ils en soient ici très chaleureusement remerciés. Et merci à vous cher public pour votre présence pas- sionnée à nos côtés depuis toutes ces années. Vous me manquez, et j’ai hâte de vous retrouver ! Et maintenant : que la fête commence ! Cette saison justement rassemble ce qui est le cœur de notre vocation : 3 beaucoup d’opéras, surtout méconnus ; de la musique de chambre (car le claveciniste que je suis tient à rester aussi chambriste) ; des récitals de jeunes chanteurs (car découvrir de nouveaux talents est aussi notre marque de fabrique) ; et des incursions dans le romantisme. -

What Makes a Healthy Environment for Native Freshwater Mussels?
USGS science for a changing world WHAT MAKES A HEALTHY ENVIRONMENT FOR NATIVE FRESHWATER MUSSELS? What are freshwater mussels, and what makes them special? Freshwater mussels are mollusks-close relatives of clams, oysters, and saltwater mussels. Many species of freshwater mussels can live for 20 to 30 years, and individuals of some species live for more than 100 years. Freshwater mussels have been valued by humans throughout history. They can produce pearls, and their shells can be used to make buttons for clothing or to serve as seedstock for Figure 1 . Life cycle of freshwater mussels. After fertilization of eggs (lower right corner), glochidia, or larvae, are released. Those glochidia that successfully attach to fish hosts transform into the cultured pearl industry. In past times, juvenile mussels, which detach and burrow into the streambed. (Diagram by G.T. Walters, Ohio freshwater mussels also were food for State University.) Native Americans.

Hesiod Theogony.Pdf
Hesiod (8th or 7th c. BC, composed in Greek) The Homeric epics, the Iliad and the Odyssey, are probably slightly earlier than Hesiod’s two surviving poems, the Works and Days and the Theogony. Yet in many ways Hesiod is the more important author for the study of Greek mythology. While Homer treats cer- tain aspects of the saga of the Trojan War, he makes no attempt at treating myth more generally. He often includes short digressions and tantalizes us with hints of a broader tra- dition, but much of this remains obscure. Hesiod, by contrast, sought in his Theogony to give a connected account of the creation of the universe. For the study of myth he is im- portant precisely because his is the oldest surviving attempt to treat systematically the mythical tradition from the first gods down to the great heroes. Also unlike the legendary Homer, Hesiod is for us an historical figure and a real per- sonality. His Works and Days contains a great deal of autobiographical information, in- cluding his birthplace (Ascra in Boiotia), where his father had come from (Cyme in Asia Minor), and the name of his brother (Perses), with whom he had a dispute that was the inspiration for composing the Works and Days. His exact date cannot be determined with precision, but there is general agreement that he lived in the 8th century or perhaps the early 7th century BC. His life, therefore, was approximately contemporaneous with the beginning of alphabetic writing in the Greek world. Although we do not know whether Hesiod himself employed this new invention in composing his poems, we can be certain that it was soon used to record and pass them on. -

Vous allez goûter en cette veille de fêtes à un aspect bien particulier du génie du Cantor. Le choral Nun komm der Heiden Heiland est en effet au centre des trois cantates de ce soir et sa mélodie, qui vous sera bientôt familière, y apparaît sous des formes tellement différentes, parfois chan- tée, parfois jouée, parfois très lente ou très rapide, à deux temps comme à trois, thème de fugue ou choral homophonique, que vous allez vous aussi éprouver le vertige qu’offre la musique quand elle dessine tant de tableaux différents à partir d’un même croquis ! Pour continuer à glisser dans chacun de nos programmes une pièce d’un autre com- positeur des 17e et 18e siècles, toujours afin de faire entendre l’extraordinaire répertoire des prédécesseurs et contemporains de Bach, nous avons choisi aujourd’hui Dietrich Bux- tehude. -

The Recorded Examples Les Illustrations Sonores
The recorded examples The eight CDs that accompany this treatise follow its argument closely. Lengthy works or those on a large scale are represented by a few well-chosen excerpts; we have also chosen to refer the listener to certain complete recordings that are easily available through normal commercial channels. The greatest performers of our time have devoted their talents to making these works live again; some of these works have also enjoyed stage revivals, as was the case with Lully’s Atys, conducted by William Christie and directed by Jean-Marie Villégier in 1987 in a staging that has since become legendary. More recently, the young conductor Sébastien Daucé has presented the first reconstruction of aballet de cour, the Ballet royal de la Nuit. Les illustrations sonores Les huit disques qui accompagnent cet ouvrage suivent pas à pas le cours de ce récit. En ce qui concerne les œuvres de grande envergure, elles ne sont illustrées ici que par quelques extraits représentatifs. Il convient évidemment de se référer aux quelques enregistrements complets qui sont disponibles sur le marché du disque. Les plus grands interprètes de notre époque ont apporté tout leur talent à faire revivre ces ouvrages, bénéficiant parfois aussi de la possibilité d’une représentation scénique, comme ce fut le cas pour Atys de Lully, dont le spectacle dirigé par William Christie pour la musique et par Jean-Marie Villégier pour la mise en scène fut, en 1987, un événement mémorable. Tout récemment, c’est le jeune chef Sébastien Daucé qui a proposé la première reconstitution d’un ballet de cour, Le Ballet royal de la Nuit… 140 CD I AIRS DE COUR & BALLETS DE COUR 1. -
Greek Words 3
Lethe The river Lethe was also called the river of forgetfulness or oblivion. It was one of five rivers separating the Greek underworld from the land of the living. Souls often became drowsy as they listened to the river's murmuring. Those who drank water from the river Lethe forgot everything they had seen while they were in the Underworld. Then they could return to Earth to be reincarnated (born in a new form). 1. The river Lethe was also called "_______________________________." 2. Which of the following is an antonym for "lethargic"? A. dry B. safe C. hungry D. energetic Muses The nine Muses were daughters of Zeus and Mnemosyne (Memory). Each Muse was in charge of one area of the arts: Calliope, epic poetry and eloquence Clio, history Erato, love poetry Euterpe, lyric poetry Melpomene, tragedy Polyhymnia, songs to the gods (hymns) Terpsichore, dance Thalia, comedy Urania, astronomy The Muses provided inspiration and joy. Artists often asked their muse for help. 3. The ancient Greek muses were goddesses in charge of what? A. sports B. tools and technology C. nature D. the arts 4. If you are "musing" about something, what are you doing? A. thinking B. singing C. dancing D. writing a poem NYx According the Greek story of creation, at first there was nothing but Chaos. Chaos was a huge, wild, disorganized void or "nothingness." Chaos had two children: Nyx and Erebus. Nyx and Erebus were not gods to be worshipped; they were personifications of the concepts of night (Nyx) and darkness (Erebus). !!Nyx laid an egg, and from it came love. -
A Theology of Memory: the Concept of Memory in the Greek Experience of the Divine
A Theology of Memory: The Concept of Memory in the Greek Experience of the Divine Master’s Thesis Presented to The Faculty of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences Brandeis University Department of Classical Studies Leonard Muellner, Advisor In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For Master’s Degree by Michiel van Veldhuizen May 2012 ABSTRACT A Theology of Memory: The Concept of Memory in the Greek Experience of the Divine A thesis presented to the Department of Classical Studies Graduate School of Arts and Sciences Brandeis University Waltham, Massachusetts By Michiel van Veldhuizen To the ancient Greek mind, memory is not just concerned with remembering events in the past, but also concerns knowledge about the present, and even the future. Through a structural analysis of memory in Greek mythology and philosophy, we may come to discern the particular role memory plays as the facilitator of vertical movement, throwing a bridge between the realms of humans and gods. The concept of memory thus plays a significant role in the Greek experience of the divine, as one of the vertical bridges that relates mortality and divinity. In the theology of Mnemosyne, who is Memory herself and mother of the Muses, memory connects not only to the singer-poet’s religiously efficacious speech of prophetic omniscience, but also to the idea of Truth itself. The domain of memory, then, shapes the way in which humans have access to the divine, the vertical dimension of which is expliticly expressed in the descent-ascent of the ritual passage of initiation. The present study thus lays bare the theology of Memory. -
