Gabriel Fauré – Pavane in F-sharp minor, Op. 50.

The Pavane in F-sharp minor, Op. 50, is a composition for orchestra and optional chorus by the French composer Gabriel Fauré, written in 1887. Obtaining its rhythm from the slow processional Spanish court dance of the same name, the Pavane ebbs and flows from a series of harmonic and melodic climaxes, conjuring a cool, somewhat haunting, Belle Époque elegance. The piece is scored for only modest orchestral forces consisting of strings and one pair each of flutes, oboes, clarinets, bassoons, and horns. A typical performance lasts around seven minutes.

Alegeri? Da! Resultate: Ba!

Quotation: On “envy”

Envy is ignorance.

Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803-1882)

 

“You have enemies? Good. That means you’ve stood up for something, sometime in your life.”    

Winston Churchill

“Envy consists in seeing things never in themselves, but only in their relations. If you desire glory, you may envy Napoleon, but Napoleon envied Caesar, Caesar envied Alexander, and Alexander, I daresay, envied Hercules, who never existed.”

decree making it mandatory for black schools to split instruction between English and Afrikaans—a language that many associated with the segregationist apartheid government. Two years later, at least 10,000 people—most of them young students—marched to Orlando Stadium in the city of Soweto to protest the change. Violence erupted when police

OLD BONES HELP SCIENTISTS DIG INTO LEPROSY’S HISTORY

leprosy-causing bacteria extracted from 1,000-year-old European skeletons are helping researchers piece together where the disease came from, how it spread, and how it has evolved. The findings support the theory that the Crusades were in part responsible for spreading the disease and suggest that European colonists may have later brought it to the Americas. More… Discuss

Rogue Waves

Rogue waves were once thought to be the stuff of sailors’ lore, but scientists have since established that these ostensibly unpredictable, abnormally large ocean surface waves are indeed real. Though similar in appearance to tsunamis, rogue waves are an entirely different phenomenon. Tsunamis are often preceded by an undersea earthquake, but rogue waves spring up without warning in seemingly calm waters, often far out at sea. What famously ill-fated ship may have been the victim of a rogue wave? More…Discuss
