Cannot reach me anymore! About how when I say, say red, for example. There's no way of knowing if red Means the same thing in your head And it is quiet. As red means in my head, when someone says And I am warm. red? Like I've sailed. Into the eye of the storm. And how if we are travelling at, almost the speed of light And we're holding a light That light will still travel away from us At the full speed of light, which seems right in a way But I'm trying to say, I'm not sure But I wonder if inside my head I'm not just a bit different from some of my friends These answers that come into my mind unbidden These stories delivered to me fully written! And when everyone shouts like they seem to like shouting The noise in my head is incredibly loud! And I just wish they'd stop, my Dad and my Mum.

  • In Plain Sight: Aspects of Developmental Process in Sally Beamish’S Seafarer Trilogy
    In Plain Sight: Aspects of Developmental Process in Sally Beamish’s Seafarer Trilogy Richard E. McGregor University of Cumbria For a composer who has been described as being ‘at the top of her game and the pinnacle of her profession’, there is currently a complete lack of critical anal- ysis of Sally Beamish’s compositional style and technique.1 Interviews and re- views content themselves with a more or less descriptive approach, while prais- ing her ear for orchestral colour, particularly her affinity with string instruments or with voices. The former is usually explained by reference to her years as an ensemble player with, for example, Lontano and the Raphael Ensemble, while the latter is related back to the fact that her father was an amateur singer, and an aunt had a number of professional singing engagements. There are only so many times that a biography can be repeated, and Beamish is in good company with other well-respected composers such as James MacMillan who suffered for many years from the curse of the biography without analytical content. Interviewed by the author on two occasions, Beamish gave some tentative clues as to the origins of her compositional technique. In 2000 she responded to a question about pre-planning of composition with a hint of late-Stravinskian procedure: I do use [motifs] in a serial type of way with a series of transpositions so that I do make a note square with a 5 note motif and I transpose it and put them all on top of each other and then I have harmonies as well going down.2 Interviewed again during the 2012 Musica Scotica conference in Glasgow, she was somewhat more forthcoming as to the origin and nature of this working method: [Oliver Knussen] showed me a way of manipulating notes.

    1 1 2 2 3 9AM I’m sad to say that I’m dedicating this first couple of songs here to our dear friend Stan …you know him as Stan the Hot Sauce Man….whose Mom Marion passed away yesterday…Now we got to know Marion here on BWTB quite well…as she came hung out with us more than a few times She also made me that British Flag quilt blanket And BWTB pillow…that we often talked about…she came down to all the events at Capitol Records…Just Imagine shows…everyone loved her…and she will certainly be missed…and here is Marion’s favorite Beatles song. 3 4 The Beatles - If I Fell - A Hard Day’s Night (Lennon-McCartney) Lead vocal: John and Paul John Lennon’s stunning ballad “If I Fell” was by far the most complex song he had written to date. It could be considered a progression from “This Boy” with its similar chord structure and intricate harmonies by John and Paul, recorded – at their request – together on one microphone. Performed live on their world tour throughout the summer of 1964. Completed in 15 takes on February 27, 1964. Flip side of “And I Love Her” in the U.S. On U.S. album: A Hard Day’s Night - United Artists LP Something New - Capitol LP The Beatles - In My Life - Rubber Soul (Lennon-McCartney) Lead vocals: John with Paul Recorded October 18, 1965 and written primarily by John, who called it his “first real major piece of work.” Of all the Lennon-McCartney collaborations only two songs have really been disputed by John and Paul themselves -- “Eleanor Rigby” and “In My Life.” Both agree that the lyrics are 100% Lennon, but John says Paul helped on the musical bridge, while Paul recalls writing the entire melody on John’s Mellotron.

    I SEE, HE SAYS, PERHAPS, ON TIME: VISION, VOICE, HYPOTHETICAL NARRATION, AND TEMPORALITY IN WILLIAM FAULKNER’S FICTION DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for The Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By David S. FitzSimmons, B.A., M.A. ***** The Ohio State University 2003 Dissertation Committee: Approved by Professor James Phelan, Adviser Professor Jared Gardner ______________________ Adviser Professor Jessica Prinz Department of English Copyright by David S. FitzSimmons 2003 ABSTRACT This study examines four narrative techniques in William Faulkner’s fiction in order to accomplish two things: 1) see what applying contemporary narrative theory to Faulkner can tell us about his narratives; and 2) see how examining Faulkner’s narratives can cause us to revise or extend concepts in narrative theory. In other words, the study establishes a recursive relationship between Faulkner’s fiction and narrative theory, one in which each subject matter can illuminate the other. The four narrative techniques examined include shifts in focalization, shifts in voice, hypothetical narration, and representations of time. Each chapter examines background theory, gives examples of the technique, offers explication of the technique, and analyzes the technique’s effects. The first chapter takes “Barn Burning” as its main example and looks at how to identify shifts in focalization (vision), develops a model of layers of focalization, and investigates their effects. Chapter two focuses on As I Lay Dying and “Old Man” and examines narrative voice, works at defining voice, distinguishes conventional markers of narrative voice from voice features, and explores the effect of narrative voice.

  • Multimillion-Selling Singer Crystal Gayle Has Performed Songs from a Wide Variety of Genres During Her Award-Studded Career, B
    MultiMillion-selling singer Crystal Gayle has performed songs from a wide variety of genres during her award-studded career, but she has never devoted an album to classic country music. Until now. You Don’t Know Me​ is a collection that finds the acclaimed stylist exploring the songs of such country legends as George Jones, Patsy Cline, Buck Owens and Eddy Arnold. The album might come as a surprise to those who associate Crystal with an uptown sound that made her a star on both country and adult-contemporary pop charts. But she has known this repertoire of hardcore country standards all her life. “This wasn’t a stretch at all,” says Crystal. “These are songs I grew up singing. I’ve been wanting to do this for a long time. “The songs on this album aren’t songs I sing in my concerts until recently. But they are very much a part of my history.” Each of the selections was chosen because it played a role in her musical development. Two of them point to the importance that her family had in bringing her to fame. You Don’t Know Me contains the first recorded trio vocal performance by Crystal with her singing sisters Loretta Lynn and Peggy Sue. It is their version of Dolly Parton’s “Put It Off Until Tomorrow.” “You Never Were Mine” comes from the pen of her older brother, Jay Lee Webb (1937-1996). The two were always close. Jay Lee was the oldest brother still living with the family when their father passed away.

    ENDER'S GAME by Orson Scott Card Chapter 1 -- Third "I've watched through his eyes, I've listened through his ears, and tell you he's the one. Or at least as close as we're going to get." "That's what you said about the brother." "The brother tested out impossible. For other reasons. Nothing to do with his ability." "Same with the sister. And there are doubts about him. He's too malleable. Too willing to submerge himself in someone else's will." "Not if the other person is his enemy." "So what do we do? Surround him with enemies all the time?" "If we have to." "I thought you said you liked this kid." "If the buggers get him, they'll make me look like his favorite uncle." "All right. We're saving the world, after all. Take him." *** The monitor lady smiled very nicely and tousled his hair and said, "Andrew, I suppose by now you're just absolutely sick of having that horrid monitor. Well, I have good news for you. That monitor is going to come out today. We're going to just take it right out, and it won't hurt a bit." Ender nodded. It was a lie, of course, that it wouldn't hurt a bit. But since adults always said it when it was going to hurt, he could count on that statement as an accurate prediction of the future. Sometimes lies were more dependable than the truth. "So if you'll just come over here, Andrew, just sit right up here on the examining table.
