  • ARSC Journal
    A Discography of the Choral Symphony by J. F. Weber In previous issues of this Journal (XV:2-3; XVI:l-2), an effort was made to compile parts of a composer discography in depth rather than breadth. This one started in a similar vein with the realization that SO CDs of the Beethoven Ninth Symphony had been released (the total is now over 701). This should have been no surprise, for writers have stated that the playing time of the CD was designed to accommodate this work. After eighteen months' effort, a reasonably complete discography of the work has emerged. The wonder is that it took so long to collect a body of information (especially the full names of the vocalists) that had already been published in various places at various times. The Japanese discographers had made a good start, and some of their data would have been difficult to find otherwise, but quite a few corrections and additions have been made and some recording dates have been obtained that seem to have remained 1.Dlpublished so far. The first point to notice is that six versions of the Ninth didn't appear on the expected single CD. Bl:lhm (118) and Solti (96) exceeded the 75 minutes generally assumed (until recently) to be the maximum CD playing time, but Walter (37), Kegel (126), Mehta (127), and Thomas (130) were not so burdened and have been reissued on single CDs since the first CD release. On the other hand, the rather short Leibowitz (76), Toscanini (11), and Busch (25) versions have recently been issued with fillers.

  • The Emblems of Christmas
    The Emblems of Christmas : Where they came from and what they can mean to us. By: Jeff Grismer, for my precious niece and nephew Lacy Lee and Jesse, December 1998 ☺ ANGELS – Angel simply means messenger. Despite the current “angel craze” affecting society today, angels become more prevalent at Christmastime. You’ll find them hanging on streetlights, office doors, truck grills and the tops of Christmas trees abroad. Biblically they have many associations with Christmas. This is because it was the angel Gabriel who first told Mary she would be “overshadowed by the power of the Most High when the Holy Spirit came upon her and, although she was a virgin, she would be with child and the Holy One to be born would be called the Son of God.” The Angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph, Mary’s husband to be, and told him, do not be afraid to take Mary as your wife because what was conceived in her was from the Holy Spirit. She would give birth to a son who you are to name Jesus, because He will save His people from their sins.” (Jesus most literally means, “the Lord is salvation”). The Angel of the Lord, with a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, appeared to certain shepherds and announced good news of great joy to all the world: In Bethlehem that day a Savior, Christ the Lord, was born onto all men. Luk 1:26-38 / Mat 1:18-22 / Luk 2:8-15 BELLS – Biblically bells represent Holiness. They were sewn onto the High Priest’s Ephod to wear into the Most Holy Place once a year to atone for the sins of the people.

One of these is certainly Acis and Galatea, composed in 1720 when Handel was at the height of his fame as an opera composer and manager in London. In music of great charm it tells the story of the goddess Galatea, whose great beauty causes the Cyclops, Polypheme, to fall madly in love with her. He catches sight of her one day sporting with her love Acis, a Naiad. Mad with rage, he hurls a rock at them, pinning the unfortunate Acis beneath.

  • Robert Shaw and Doubting Thomas
    4/15/2007 Robert Shaw and Doubting Thomas A sermon by the Very Reverend Sam Candler Atlanta, Georgia Second Sunday of Easter "Peace be with you," Jesus said. When he had said this, he showed them his wounded hands and his side. Anybody been listening to the radio lately? About twenty years ago, I remember the most compelling fifteen minutes of radio I have ever heard. I can still sense almost every detail in that slice of time. I was serving an Episcopal parish in Cobb County, and I was making my usual hospital rounds, about to visit another person in pain. I was driving my little Honda Civic automobile, driving up South Cobb Drive toward what was then called Kennestone Hospital, in Marietta. I was listening to the radio. In those days, radio had not entered the shock-jock phase; it could still be a source of comfort as one drove. It was an interview on the radio that filled that slice of my life. Those fifteen minutes were so engaging, so beautiful, really, that, when I turned into the hospital parking lot, I did not get out of the car. I kept the radio on and stayed in the car for fifteen minutes. The interview was with Robert Shaw, the great music director and principal conductor of the Atlanta Symphony, founder of the Robert Shaw Chorale and the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra Chorus. Some of you in this room sang with Robert Shaw, and some of you knew him very well. Those of you who only recognize his name may not know that Shaw came from a family of chaplains, ministers, and missionaries.

  • Week Three.Day 15 the First Noel
    Christmas Season Devotionals Week Three – Day 15 The First Noel “History hasn't preserved the record of how the music for 'The First Noel' came to be written, but some historians think that the traditional melody originated in France as early as the 1200s. By the 1800s, the melody had become popular in England, and people had added some simple words to sing the song outside when celebrating Christmas together in their villages. Englishmen William B. Sandys and Davies Gilbert collaborated to write additional words and set them to music in the 1800s, and Sandys published the resulting song as 'The First Noel' in his book Christmas Carols Ancient and Modern, which he published in 1823.” (liveabout.com) Craft Idea – https://www.theartkitblog.com/super-simple-christmas-star-craft-kids/ Video by The First Noel with Lyrics | Christmas Song & Carol | Children Love to Sing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D5uud2fjtoo The first Noel the angel did say Then entered in those Wise Men And by the light of that same star was to certain poor shepherds in three, full reverently upon the three Wise Men came from country fields as they lay; in fields where knee, and offered there, in his far; to seek for a king was their they lay keeping their sheep, presence, their gold and myrrh intent, and to follow the star on a cold winter's night that was and frankincense.
