The Goddess: Myths of the Great Mother Description The Goddess is all around us: Her face is reflected in the burgeoning new growth of every ensuing spring; her power is evident in the miracle of conception and childbirth and in the newborn’s cry as it searches for the nurturing breast; we glimpse her in the alluring beauty of youth, in the incredible power of sexual attraction, in the affection of family gatherings, and in the gentle caring of loved ones as they leave the mortal world. The Goddess is with us in the everyday miracles of life, growth, and death which always have surrounded us and always will, and this ubiquity speaks to the enduring presence and changing masks of the universal power people have always recognized in their lives.

No part of this journal and its associated articles, nor any imagery used may be reproduced in any form or by any means in existence or that may come into existence without the prior written consent of the Publisher Dr Erin Pritchard Historically, they [dwarfs] have borne the labels “freaks” and “oddities”; they have been collected as pets, displayed as spectacles, and treated as comic relief (Adelson, 2005a: Front cover, inside). Introduction Dwarfism is a visible disability with strong connections to various forms of entertainment, including folklore and lowbrow entertainment. Throughout history, as within the current media, dwarfs1 have often been a popular form of entertainment, not so much for any talents they might have, but due to their distinctive appearance, in particular their small stature (Adelson, 2005a). How disability is culturally represented can affect how it is understood and, subsequently, how those with the disability are treated within society. Media narratives that misrepresent disability produce dominant societal beliefs about disability (Haller, 2010). How these beliefs affect dwarfs in society has largely been ignored. Kennedy (2003) argues that dwarfism is a social disability, as dwarfs receive a lot of unwanted attention due to their appearance, including staring and verbal abuse.

  • RIDE of the VALKYRIES by WAGNER TEACHER PAGES
    SECONDARY 10 PIECES PLUS! RIDE OF THE VALKYRIES by WAGNER TEACHER PAGES RIDE OF THE VALKYRIES BY WAGNER http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p034s31d CONTEXT The Valkyrie is a Music Drama performed in an opera house. The Ride of the Valkyries is the descriptive orchestral prelude which sets the scene for Act III. The scene takes place on a mountain top : the music describes the arrival of a group of female warriors riding on horseback – these are the Valkyries who carry the bodies of fallen heroes to Valhalla, the home of the Gods. Wagner wanted to create dramatic works in which each of the arts contributed equally, as in Ancient Greek theatre. Wagner rekindled this tradition by choosing themes from mythological Nordic sagas for his music dramas – ancient Viking tales that underpin German culture. MUSICAL INGREDIENTS Pitch Major and minor contrasts Leitmotif (mainly triadic) Motivic development Fanfare Dramatic, expectant trills and tremolando effects Timbre Full romantic orchestration including Wagner Tubas Prominent brass Rhythm Compound time Dotted compound ‘galloping’ rhythms Texture Thick homophonic texture LEARNING ACTIVITIES SUMMARY Active Listening challenge: ‘Thought Bubbles’ and ‘Musical Jigsaw’ Performing challenge: Round of the Valkyries Composing challenge 1: Composing a funeral march Composing challenge 2: Alternative creative approach 1 KEY LEARNING Knowledge of musical dimensions: major and minor contrasts Skills development: composing - motivic development RELATED LISTENING EXAMPLES ‘Ride of the Valkyries’ staged

  • Wayland Smith : a Dissertation on a Tradition of the Middle Ages
    p. KENNEDY, ANGLESEA STREET, Tliree doors from College Green. XgamMé^f^ ^ .' WAYLAND SMITH. A DISSERTATION ON A TRADITION OF THE MIDDLE AGES. FROM THE FRENCH OF G. B. DEPPING AND FRANCISQUE MICHEL. WITH ADDITIONS BY S. W. SINGER. AND THE AMPLIFIED LEGEND 13 Y OEHLENSCHLAGER. LONDON: WILLIAM PICKERING. 1847. TO MRS. KINNEAR, WHOSE TRANSLATION FROM OEHLENSCHLAGER FURNISHES THE MOST ATTRACTIVE PORTION, THE FOLLOWING PAGES ARE GRATEFULLY DEDICATED BY HER AFFECTIONATE FRIEND S. W. SINGER. PREFACE. The use which Sir Walter Scott made of this legend in his romance of Kenilworth, has given it universal celebrity, but, inde- pendent of this claim to our attention, it may be considered as one of the most interesting of the old Sagas of the North. The rifacci- mento of it by Adam Oehlenschlager was first written by him in Danish about the year 1800, and he afterwards re- wrote it in Ger- man, from which language the following version has been made. The dissertation appended to it will show how gradually it has been built up, and how skilfully from its fragmentary state the Danish poet has constructed a poetical tale breathing the wild spirit of his native land. A dissertation on a popular tale may at first glance appear to be a trifling thing. Nevertheless, when this tale is of remote origin ; when it has amused the people of the South and of the North, and given occupa- tion to poets, to writers of romance, and to mythologers of various ages ; when it has passed from one language and from one country to another, it is no longer an object to be despised.
