He had recently attended the première of his Stabat Mater, and completed his Sixth Symphony. Two years earlier he had composed his first book of Slavonic Dances for piano, four hands, which had been a great success for his publisher, Friedrich Simrock, who was understandably enthusiastic about the next project that the composer announced in a letter dated October 14th 1880. This new set of pieces was completed remarkably quickly, before March 1881, although it seems likely that he based them on sketches from the previous spring; and furthermore he re-used some material from significantly earlier works, notably a theme from the Third Symphony (c.1873). Composer and publisher took advantage of the opportunity to test the reception of the new score when they met in Karlsbad in the spring of 1881 to go over the proofs, in the presence of no less a personage than the famous critic Eduard Hanslick. He was a great champion of Brahms (who had originally recommended Dvořák to Simrock’s attention), and was vehemently opposed to Wagner, and to programme music in general. The simple title Legends, with no further elaboration, was unlikely to cause any offence to the great proponent of “pure” music! At any rate, Hanslick was enthusiastic about what he heard at this meeting; logically enough, Dvořák dedicated the cycle to him. Soon after, Brahms himself wrote of the score in laudatory terms: “It is a lovely work, and one can only envy the fresh, lively, and rich inspiration of this man.” Notwithstanding these career-conscious manouevrings, Dvořák’s æsthetic position, as a man of deep religious faith and a kind of unworldly simplicity, was more ambiguous and eclectic than is commonly acknowledged. He was, in fact, a great admirer of Wagner, and his music achieves a remarkable synthesis of German classicism, Wagnerian harmony and the influence of traditional Czech idioms, already prominent in the œuvre of his compatriot, Smetana. The ten pieces of Op.59 are generally in straightforward tripartite form, and readily appeal to a wide audience, though in every case the simple structures are permeated and enlivened by the composer’s prodigious imagination. It should be remembered that by its very nature, Mozart’s and Schubert’s legacy of writing for four hands at one piano is intended to be pleasing, entertaining, suitable for musical discourse among friends; the essence of “salon music” (in no derogatory sense) - even if Schubert himself provided some notable exceptions. Even so, as Brahms pointed out, these brief pieces contain an abundance of inventiveness, diverse inspiration, and atmosphere, which is truly remarkable. Ironically, their relative subtlety of expression as compared to the Slavonic Dances probably contributed to their more modest commercial success. Soon after publication, at Simrock’s request, Dvořák arranged the pieces for small orchestra. The other cycle we offer here, From the Bohemian Forest, Op. 68, was written a few years later (in the shadow of the Seventh Symphony, one of Dvořák’s greatest works), the bulk of the manuscript dating from the beginning of 1884. Interestingly, this time the composer seems to have sought symbolic inspiration through the application of titles to the pieces. Not, apparently, feeling equal to inventing his own, à la Schumann, he turned to a friend, Marie Červinková-Riegrová, librettist for his opera Dmitri. She recounted that “I said to him: ‘It doesn’t matter about the titles, ‘it’s the music that counts.’ ‘The music isn’t the problem,’ Dvořák answered, ‘I have the music, but I haven’t any titles.’ He then asked me to think up some suitable poetic designations as images, just a few words to conjure up these images, and his imagination would do the rest. As I discovered, he merely wished to have some kind of motif, a tonic that would trigger ideas, you might say. I told him that I would do it.” Meanwhile, his publisher, Simrock, had been pressuring him for some time to write a second book of Slavonic Dances, a task which Dvořák fulfilled soon after. From the Bohemian Forest is a cycle of six character pieces, somewhat more developed than those of the previous set. The writing here might be described as more Lisztian, and generally more extroverted. Furthermore, the arrangement of keys throughout the cycle is structured such that the tonalities of the first three pieces ascend in thirds, mirrored by the sequence of descending thirds of the following three. However, for this recording we decided to offer the listener an alternative path through the two works, as possibly relating a more compelling story. In any case, Dvořák would never have envisioned their being played one after the other, nor in a predetermined sequence. Our primary concern in leading the listener along an unfamiliar path was to highlight the naive freshness and infectious energy of this music, and to present it from a different perspective. Thus, to each of the six pieces of From the Bohemian Forest we have appended two of the Legends. In the Spinning Room, the first piece of Op.68, is full of light, lively good humour. The central part presents a second idea, more dancelike but less energetic. The second Legend (G Major) is imbued with the touching simplicity that permeates the Eighth Symphony, while the third, in G minor, looks back to the rustic passions of some of the Slavonic Dances. In the second piece of Op.68, By the Black Lake, with its strange, questioning introduction, Dvořák develops a pastoral nocturne of great delicacy. The sixth piece of the Legends, in C sharp minor, passionate and stormy, mesmerisingly repeats a phrase, accompanied by flowing streams of repeated notes. The central section of the piece is an enchanted nocturne in D flat, like a dream in the midst of the storm. The fourth Legend, in C Major, sets a different tone altogether, at first solemn and archaic, then mysterious, before an impressive climax which hints at a quotation from Wagner’s Die Meistersinger von Nürnberg. The contrast with the robust Witches’ Sabbath, the third piece of From the Bohemian Forest, could not be greater. This tipsy, joyous wild ride frames a central section like a popular folksong. The first of the Legends foreshadows the D minor and the feeling of brooding, epic legend that will permeate the fabric of the future Seventh Symphony. Then we return to the countryside for the Seventh Legend (A Major), gracefully pastoral but troubled, in the central section, by an episode in sombre colours illuminated by lightning (to say nothing of its clear allusion to the Scherzo of Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony, replete with blows of fate at the climax). Next is In Wait (From the Bohemian Forest, No.4), suggesting a reminiscence of a pastoral tale of the adventures of a huntsman. Here can be heard not only the initial motif of Chopin’s Second Scherzo - probably an unconscious coincidence - but also, astonishingly, in the penultimate section, a passage of calm and peaceful atmosphere which seems to anticipate certain elements of Mahler’s First Symphony, a work with a deep connection to the forests of Bohemia.

  • PERFORMED IDENTITIES: HEAVY METAL MUSICIANS BETWEEN 1984 and 1991 Bradley C. Klypchak a Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate
    PERFORMED IDENTITIES: HEAVY METAL MUSICIANS BETWEEN 1984 AND 1991 Bradley C. Klypchak A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY May 2007 Committee: Dr. Jeffrey A. Brown, Advisor Dr. John Makay Graduate Faculty Representative Dr. Ron E. Shields Dr. Don McQuarie © 2007 Bradley C. Klypchak All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Dr. Jeffrey A. Brown, Advisor Between 1984 and 1991, heavy metal became one of the most publicly popular and commercially successful rock music subgenres. The focus of this dissertation is to explore the following research questions: How did the subculture of heavy metal music between 1984 and 1991 evolve and what meanings can be derived from this ongoing process? How did the contextual circumstances surrounding heavy metal music during this period impact the performative choices exhibited by artists, and from a position of retrospection, what lasting significance does this particular era of heavy metal merit today? A textual analysis of metal- related materials fostered the development of themes relating to the selective choices made and performances enacted by metal artists. These themes were then considered in terms of gender, sexuality, race, and age constructions as well as the ongoing negotiations of the metal artist within multiple performative realms. Occurring at the juncture of art and commerce, heavy metal music is a purposeful construction. Metal musicians made performative choices for serving particular aims, be it fame, wealth, or art. These same individuals worked within a greater system of influence. Metal bands were the contracted employees of record labels whose own corporate aims needed to be recognized.

  • Idioms-And-Expressions.Pdf
    Idioms and Expressions by David Holmes A method for learning and remembering idioms and expressions I wrote this model as a teaching device during the time I was working in Bangkok, Thai- land, as a legal editor and language consultant, with one of the Big Four Legal and Tax companies, KPMG (during my afternoon job) after teaching at the university. When I had no legal documents to edit and no individual advising to do (which was quite frequently) I would sit at my desk, (like some old character out of a Charles Dickens’ novel) and prepare language materials to be used for helping professionals who had learned English as a second language—for even up to fifteen years in school—but who were still unable to follow a movie in English, understand the World News on TV, or converse in a colloquial style, because they’d never had a chance to hear and learn com- mon, everyday expressions such as, “It’s a done deal!” or “Drop whatever you’re doing.” Because misunderstandings of such idioms and expressions frequently caused miscom- munication between our management teams and foreign clients, I was asked to try to as- sist. I am happy to be able to share the materials that follow, such as they are, in the hope that they may be of some use and benefit to others. The simple teaching device I used was three-fold: 1. Make a note of an idiom/expression 2. Define and explain it in understandable words (including synonyms.) 3. Give at least three sample sentences to illustrate how the expression is used in context.

  • THE COLLECTED POEMS of HENRIK IBSEN Translated by John Northam
    1 THE COLLECTED POEMS OF HENRIK IBSEN Translated by John Northam 2 PREFACE With the exception of a relatively small number of pieces, Ibsen’s copious output as a poet has been little regarded, even in Norway. The English-reading public has been denied access to the whole corpus. That is regrettable, because in it can be traced interesting developments, in style, material and ideas related to the later prose works, and there are several poems, witty, moving, thought provoking, that are attractive in their own right. The earliest poems, written in Grimstad, where Ibsen worked as an assistant to the local apothecary, are what one would expect of a novice. Resignation, Doubt and Hope, Moonlight Voyage on the Sea are, as their titles suggest, exercises in the conventional, introverted melancholy of the unrecognised young poet. Moonlight Mood, To the Star express a yearning for the typically ethereal, unattainable beloved. In The Giant Oak and To Hungary Ibsen exhorts Norway and Hungary to resist the actual and immediate threat of Prussian aggression, but does so in the entirely conventional imagery of the heroic Viking past. From early on, however, signs begin to appear of a more personal and immediate engagement with real life. There is, for instance, a telling juxtaposition of two poems, each of them inspired by a female visitation. It is Over is undeviatingly an exercise in romantic glamour: the poet, wandering by moonlight mid the ruins of a great palace, is visited by the wraith of the noble lady once its occupant; whereupon the ruins are restored to their old splendour.

  • Roll of Thunder Hear My Cry
    ROLL OF THUNDER HEAR MY CRY MILDRED D. TAYLOR NEWBERY MEDAL WINNER Author's Note My father was a master storyteller. He could tell a fine old story that made me hold my sides with rolling laughter and sent happy tears down my cheeks, or a story of stark reality that made me shiver and be grateful for my own warm, secure surroundings. He could tell stories of beauty and grace, stories of gentle dreams, and paint them as vividly as any picture with splashes of character and dialogue. His memory detailed every event of ten or forty years or more before, just as if it had happened yesterday. By the fireside in our northern home or in the South where I was born, I learned a history not then written in books but one passed from generation to generation on the steps of moonlit porches and beside dying fires in one-room houses, a history of great-grandparents and of slavery and of the days following slavery: of those who lived still not free, yet who would not let their spirits be enslaved. From my father the storyteller I learned to respect the past, to respect my own heritage and myself. From my father the man I learned even more, for he was endowed with a special grace that made him tower above other men. He was warm and steadfast, a man whose principles would not bend, and he had within him a rare strength that sustained not only my sister and me and all the family but all those who sought his advice and leaned upon his wisdom.
