Anna Meredith is a trained and accomplished classical musician, but her debut album is not meant for symphony halls - well, not in the traditional sense. The Scottish composer has performed for the BBC Last Night of the Proms, written pieces for the National Youth Orchestra, and worked with the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra and Sinfonia ViVA - and now, she's putting out a pop album. Varmints is the culmination of four years of steady exploration of contemporary music by Meredith, and it fantastically
of women in the early seventeenth century.1 I support Cusick's argument that Caccini was a proto-feminist who, through her works for the Medici court, supported the rights of women, specifically, through her first and most recognized opera, La liberazione di Ruggiero dall’isola d’Alcina. In this opera, which is recognized as the first opera composed by a woman, Caccini illustrates a feminist approach to her composition, and makes musical statements about gender that support and reflect the joint

Beatrice in Dante Alighieri's Divine Comedy and the Vita Nuova Se quanto infino a qui di lei si dice fosse conchiuso tutto in una loda, poco sarebbe a fornir questa vice. La bellezza ch’io vidi si trasmoda non pur di lá da noi, ma certo io credo che solo il suo fattor tutta la goda” (Paradiso, XXX) In Dante and Difference, Jeremy Tambling asserts that “Beatrice is throughout dealt with in the Commedia with the assumption that she will already be a familiar figure” in order to make the
Forgotten There are two truth known in life: we are born and we die. A 16 year old boy is driving home late one night after a party, he was drinking while he was there but since there were no passengers in his car, he felt it was ok to drive. He suddenly finds himself in a crumpled mess of what once resembled a car after he lost control of the vehicle in his altered state of mind and was killed on impact when he collided with a large tree only feet from the road. Even though people believe that
A raisin in the sun "Dreams and dedication are a powerful combination," William Longood wrote. The dream of man will live, but with no force to go after it, it will defer. "I gotta go get it, I gotta go get it, I gotta go get it, I gotta go get it." The fast moving pace and forward ethos is quick and thoughtful.

Nature in the two novels becomes the stage of the narrative through which the protagonist's psychology is forged. The representation of nature in both novels is different. On the one hand, Buzzati's novel lacks of precise spatial indication: the narrative world is reduced to the minimum and is stricly defined by two spaces: 'la citta'
Dialectoc Composition In Purgatorio V In this canto there appear to be none of those cruces on which contemporary criticism often fastens as basic for the understanding of the poem's deeper meaning. It nevertheless contains some of the most vivid episodes of the journey, especially in its second part, involving the stories of three memorable characters. As is characteristic of the whole cantica, and is especially evident in the first cantos, we find that the three souls we meet here are,
is Leonardo Da Vinci, a man who will forever be considered one of the brightest intellectuals in history. His mastery of painting shows with works such as the Mona Lisa, and The Last Supper. His notebooks, with drawings and notes of human anatomy, shows a level of understanding far beyond most, and his inventions that, if built, would have revolutionized how wars were fought. Born on April 15, 1452 in Vinci Italy, to Messer Pero Fruosino di Antonio da Vinci, Leonardo di ser Piero da Vinci, not much

Rossini and Il Barbiere di Siviglia Gioachino Rossini, like many great composers, was born in the right place at the right time. The musical firmament was still mourning the loss of Wolfgang Mozart in 1792 when Rossini was born. His parents were both gifted musicians, and young Gioachino was in a music conservatory by the age of 14. Rossini composed ten operas within the following seven years and had established himself as a gifted composer in the opera buffa style. This genre of comic opera
also called Bice di Folco Portinarti by some, whom he met only twice in 1274 and 1283 at the age of nine and eighteen respectively. His love was a transformation of courtly love popularized by the Provencal literature of minstrels, troubadours, and the such. To Dante, Beatrice symbolized divine grace and supreme beauty. He wrote La Vita Nuova about her, and she was his guide through Purgatory in La Divina Commedia (Auerbach 1). Because Beatrice died in 1290, Dante married Gemma di Manetto Donati
SHEEN KHAAL IN PASHTOON CULTURE: In Pashtoon culture, sheenkhaal is blue permanent beauty mark in the form of dots. That are generally tattooed between the eyebrows, above the eyborws, on the chin and on the cheeks of the young Pashtun women and girls. This custom is at first applied as a way to protect ones-self from the evil eye. It used to be very common for Pashtun women to have sheenkhaals but nowadays it is only seen on old and very old women or the nomads or Kochi women. In Pashtoon families

“effective”. Giotto di Bondone was the artist who really began the Renaissance movement of careful survey. He is called the, “Father of Renaissance Painting”, this is because, even before the discovery of linear perspective, Giotto was amazingly close to this principle. He used his own personal observations to paint, skyrocketing the realism of paintings. It is especially remarkable that his work was so accurate because he had hardly any guidelines to follow.

Movement and Stasis : The use of dynamics in the Divine Comedy Movement is a crucial theme of the Divine Comedy. From the outset, we are confronted with the physicality of the lost Dante, wandering in the perilous dark wood. His movement within the strange place is confused and faltering; `Io non so ben ridir com'io v'entrai'. Moreover, it is clear that the physical distress he is experiencing is the visible manifestation of the mental anguish the poet is suffering. The allegory of the image
