"Now this is hospitality!"
When we were greeted so warmly and efficiently by the front desk staff, we knew we were about to experience what they are so proud of. It shows in all the attention to comfort. Ahhhhh!חוות דעת אמיתיות של אורחי Expedia
"Good stopover point, NY to Edisto Beach, SC"
Excellent room condition. Comfortable and clean. Halls were musty-smelling (room was not, thank goodness). Decor is a bit of a '70's throwback. Overall, of the three places we've used for this stopover over the years, this was the best.חוות דעת אמיתיות של אורחי Expedia
"Great hotel off 95/64"
We stopped here for a night on our way to a NC Beach vacation from Philadelphia. The staff greeted us as we entered. The room was clean and beds were comfortable. We have stayed here before and will again in the future.חוות דעת אמיתיות של אורחי Expedia
"Good Stay over... no, Great Stay over."
I stayed here July 2013, and it was a great stop. I was travelling north on 95 and when the weather took a turn for the worst, I took an exit for this hotel. Great room size, Great bathroom with a Huge Shower, Big TV, and a couch. The thermostat even worked lol. I do wish that there was a complementary breakfast, BUT! There's a Cracker Barrel right […] at the entrance to the parking lot... Which everyone knows is the best restaurant ever. Overall Great Place, I give it 4 stars because of all the good, I just wish they served free breakfast. -Kev קראו עודחוות דעת אמיתיות של אורחי Expedia

Hotel was easy access on and off Highway 64 not far from I-95. Cracker Barrell was next door. The staff were extremely polite and helpful. The room was large and well appointed and quiet.

Great location next to Cracker Barrel and right off Winstead Ave and Hwy 64. Room was clean and comfortable. I recommend The Holiday Inn or Country Inn & Suites if you want to stay in Rocky Mount.

"Nice, convenient hotel"
We were traveling until very late with a 2 year old...arrived about 1am. Friendly staff. Great room, comfy beds. Easy to get to from I-95. Far enough away from I-95 to feel safe, but close to restaurants and gas stations.חוות דעת אמיתיות של אורחי Expedia
"Wonderful overnight stay"
My wife and I stopped at the Holiday Inn in Rocky Mount on our way to Myrtle Beach for our honeymoon. Even though it was just an overnight, we opted to spend a few extra dollars on a better rated hotel since it was our honeymoon. Unfortunately the Holiday Inn was so good it made our resort room in Myrtle Beach look bad. We were so pleased with the Holiday […] Inn. It was clean, comfortable and the accommodations were more than we were used to. They even label the pillows soft or firm. The staff was excellent and we got good use out of the business center to print some last minute route changes. There wasn't too much in the surrounding area but there was a Cracker Barrel right next to the hotel which provided a fantastic dinner and breakfast. Overall very very pleased with the hotel! קראו עודחוות דעת אמיתית של אורח Hotels.com

"Late check out"
I stayed at this hotel twice and the first time was better than the second. Even though I made my reservations with hotels.com, I did as for a late check in and a late check out. With that being said, the first time we stayed we arrived a little after 1am due to traffic, highway construction, etc. the male at the front desked asked if I was a "premiere […] member" I told him I wasn't but he extended the late check out to 12pm. We were very grateful and thanked him. We did however check out on time the next day. The room was very nice and clean. Our next stay we arrived late again( approx. 9pm) and asked for the same late check out and was asked for a late check out. Again, we were asked the same question about being a member and I again said no. The woman at the front desk would not extend the late check out because I was not a memeber. I understand that membership has it's advantages, but when you can accept my money/credit card for additional " incidentals" and welcome us into your hotel at a late hour, I would like to think you would extend the check out time without being a "member". Other hotels extend this courtesy with no problem especially with a late check in. Why do I have to be a "member" ? קראו עודחוות דעת אמיתית של אורח Hotels.com

The same rebellious spirit that made Pink a troubled teen has served her well as a rock star. A product of divorced parents, she was a Philly club rat (writing songs, dancing and singing backup) by 13, which resulted in a near-fatal overdose of crystal meth, angel dust, ecstasy and cocaine at 15 and subsequent arrests for petty theft and trespassing. But by driving age, she'd secured a record deal with L.A. Reid as part of R& B/pop trio Choice. After two years and no success, Pink went solo, dyed her hair and picked her moniker to match. Her 2000 debut, Can't Take Me Home, sold 3 million records on the strength of three Top 10 singles, "There U Go," "Most Girls" and "You Make Me Sick." She won a Grammy in 2001 when she contributed vocals to the No. 1 remake of "Lady Marmalade" for Moulin Rouge. Missundaztood (2001), fueled by "Get the Party Started" and "Don't Let Me Get Me," sold 10 million copies worldwide. She captured her second Grammy with the single "Trouble" (2003) and scaled the singles charts again with 2006's "Stupid Girls." The same year she married motocross racer Carey Hart in Costa Rica after four years of on-and-off romance and a brief tryst with Tommy Lee although the couple separated in in 2008. The heartbreak got her creative juices flowing on fifth album Funhouse, which contained her first solo No. 1 hit "So What" and debuted at No. 2 on The Billboard 200, the highest showing of her career. Her personal life has been on an upswing ever since, reuniting with Hart in 2009 and having daughter Willow Sage Hart in 2011.

Bama, can you please elaborate on what "abuses" southern white males had to endure during this time, and in doing so can you please provide numbers as to how many whites (who weren't Jewish and northern) were lynched compared to blacks? The south's lack of economic growth was, like the Civil War, a self-inflicted wound. I'm sorry, but the fact of the matter is the south's economy was based on slavery, the south chose to fight to keep that system alive, the south was defeated, and the era of reconstruction was necessary to ensure that blacks were treated fairly and equitably. If northern politicians can be blamed for anything is is for allowing the "redeemer" governments to come to power. Southern "leaders" fought economic development tooth and nail because they couldn't abide "yankees" spoiling what they viewed as God's green earth and their way of life in antebellum times. Jim Crow did not come about because of any "abuses" whites suffered but rather because southerners feared that blacks would realize basic human rights and did whatever they could to ensure subjugation would continue. Good grief guys, how much longer is this going to go on? Best Rob Last edited on Sun Dec 23rd, 2007 01:56 am by booklover |

It's important to realize that the South got off very light, historically speaking anyway. I often hear how the South has the poorest counties in the US. The truth is that's spilt evenly... Pine Ridge Reservation in SD has consistantly taken the cake for the poorest area in the US... average ANNUAL income of $700 in 1990. A couple years ago someone posted the list of the 20 richest counties in the US, the old CS had 8 IIRC. I was told Florida counties, & Atlanta didn't count. Never could figure out that bit of self defeating attitude. What exactly is Southern? Who qualifies as Southern & why? Miss Walker, by law my wife was illegitimate until w/in the last decade and my own marriage was only just legal in SC because of mixed race status. We're talking about mixed race marriages being still illegal in the last half of the 20th Century, not 19th! Desegregation laws were needed on the books in the last half of the 20th Century in SC for a very real reason. My grandmother in law lives in the bottoms on Kingstree SC... the police don't go to that side of the tracks for a reason. And I readily admit I slept there w/ a loaded 9mm under my pillow. Until well into my lifetime the hope for a black man or woman getting any kind of justice in the SC justice system was a joke at best. Laws were not enforced w/ Lady justice being blind in SC, Alabama, or many other places in the old South. thank God things have changed. Now is such a thing a direct descendent of the trainwreck that was Reconstruction? How many generations passed between the end of the CW & the Civil Rights movement? The blame for the mess of the South... can be painted w/ a pretty broad brush and there is no way to point a finger one way or the other w/out pointing 3 fingers back at oneself. But what we cannot fool ourselves w/ is how lucky the South was, yes I said lucky. A Mongol or Roman army dealing w/ a rebellious province would have left territory that was barren still. And as late as the 1800's.. look to India after the various "mutinies" or Spain after France... sweet God look at that and praise god the South never dealt w/ a French occupying army! Shall we talk about the Germans in Poland, or Russians... anywhere? That's what I'm talking about. The South never faced systematic rape, murder and torture... any who say otherwise are talking through their hat. |

Wow, really good and interesting things unfolding here on the CWi Discussion Board so quickly that I just can't keep up, especially with Christmas coming so very quickly. Am looking forward to catching up with it all in the lull between Christmas and New Years. Just wanted to throw this in quickly - and I know that I mentioned it much earlier in the year on a different thread: In 2006, I decided that I finally had to address Reconstruction. So, I went to the Local University Library, which allows me to check out an unlimited number of books for six months at a time. I carefully chose twelve books, and one of them was, GET THIS: A History OF the history of Reconstruction. It is such a dark, disturbing, complex, confused, and ugly time in American history - truly twisted- that one author wrote a history on how it had been variously approached and studied, in conjunction with changing social attitudes and growing historical awareness, over the years, for any novice trying to come to grips with it. As for the other eleven books, well, I get a headache and grow depressed just thinking of it all.....

The South was decimated by the effects of the war. Check the papers of the Freedman's Bureau. How many lands were given to blacks by the US Government? No the owners were not paid. The State Governments were run by appointed governors and Military Districts were set up. The South was under Military rule. South Carolina was run by Governors from the North. Southern whites could not hold office. The vast majority of the SC Legislature was black and few were even literate. Whites could not vote. Many were actually turned away by Federal forces at the polls. There was no self determination. In the mean time the states were being systemically looted and bankrupted by the appointed officials and the "elected" blacks. This is not to say all of the representatives in the State Legislature were corrupt. Some like Robert Smalls of Beaufort worked hard for his fellow man. Holding office was a form of systematized looting. Many plantations were sold at sheriff's sales for lack of payment of unfair taxes. Many times the land was sold even when the taxes were paid! Owners were evicted at gunpoint by local sheriffs. Many plantation owners returned to their land only to find squatters, black and white. When they tried to evict them, the Freedman's Bureau, and military occupational authorities refused to allow the landowners to evict them. Many landowners were told that not only could they not evict the squatters but they had to supply certain amounts of foodstuffs and shelter to the squatters whether they worked or not. Many landowners were forced to allow their land to go fallow. Many northern whites who came to the South after the war, became squatters and the rightful owners had to fight sometimes for years to have these carpetbaggers evicted. In some cases they described themselves as "teachers" to the blacks and had the blacks working for them on some else's land! In many areas hired labor was impossible to find. Land values plummeted, loans could not be had. There was no Federal help. Most plantations in coastal South Carolina were eventually bought by Northern Industrialists and run as private hunting preserves. Is there any wonder that there was resentment lasting generations? Blacks were allowed to set up State controlled local Militias, whites were not. Many whites were intimidated by these militias and in some cases run out of their communities. Federal troops occupied most of the major cities. The fall out from Reconstruction is even evident in the "superior" tone some of you with a northern bias are expressing. You had better be looking in your own backyard for racial disparity, segregation and discrimination going on, even today. The largest group of Klansmen isn't in the South, try the Mid-west. At one time even large numbers of US Congressmen and even members of the Supreme Court were members, many from the North! What city has the highest foreclosure rate and evidence of predatory loan practices in the on going sub prime loan debacle? Not the South. Wayyyyy up North. Face it racial discrimination occurs North and South. To try and blame the South for the evils of racial discrimination is to discriminate against the South due to someone's twisted bias. |

Bama... those laws I mentioned were still being enforced in the last twenty years; I watched it happen and know those who it happened to. The lynchings of White League fame and later Klan use were in the South. Kentucky, Tennessee, Alabama, the Carolinas etc. Though as i said you can't pointg a finger at someone w/out pointing three back at yourself. The last mass lynching in the US happened in Duluth MN. Why was all this crap allowed to happen? Because the politicians lacked the intestinal fortitude to do anything about it. Tha Army should have been sent in and crushed the enemy, yes I said the enemy as the Klan, White League and the rest of their ilk were the enemy of everything decent a true step back to barbarism... and just about the worst cowards of US history. "Redemption" & Jim Crow should never have been allowed to happen. Miss Walker, I challenge you to find the ten wealthiest men in the South of 1860; look for a similar list of 1870... many of the same names. As I said Reconstruction was a trainwreck and the blame cannot be soley thrown at the foot of one side or the other because the South was every bit as complicit and corrupt as the worst northerner. Who to fix the blame on? I don't care, I say fix the problem. The idea that Florida or Atlanta aren't southern is posh. They just aren't Confederate. Over the years I've heard all kinds of posh about how areas or people weren't southern; usually it ended up w/ them not being confederate or pro confederate and all too often w/ some because they were black. I lived & worked in the South for the best part of a decade (I've been told that didn't count either as I was a soldier for the better part of that.) I'm no Southerner and the racism I saw there was largely extinct, there were still shadows... but they were just that shadows. But those shadows were frightening. The connection between Reconstruction, Redemption and the rise of Jim Crow (defacto segregation) are very closely connected. The failure of the US to accomplish Reconstruction allowed Redemption and Jim Crow to rise and flourish and it is a shame upon the honor of the US that it was allowed to happen. It's nearly Christmas; I'm going to pass on to better and brighter things like talking about the men I respect and want to honor; the one who actually did the fighting and dieing instead of the stay behinders who did there best to wreck this country. |

Bama46 wrote: It has been said that the 2nd amendment is not about duck hunting. Was reconstruction about rebuilding Atlanta, Decatur, Meridian, Jackson or other southern towns?.. or was it something else? Bama, Reconstruction horrors are nonthing but fallacy. At the end of Reconstruction, the Southern states were all under the control of X-confederates and the Freedman labour was back under white control. These vile names Carpetbaggers, Scalawgs and Radicals are all vile names to label the people who were trying to bring progressive change to the south but were crushed the the enbitted whites of the redeemer movement. |

No bama, I know the Reconstruction period quite well and the Reconstruction interpretation of your's come from the Dunning school which basically describes those years from 1865 to 1877 as the darkest days in our nation history. It is a false interpretation for if you read about the period you see the white southerns complained about freedman and that x confederates were not allowed to vote. You do not read about starving people in the streets but you do read that allot of once rich people were now just average. There was this redeemer movement that rose up of white x-confederates that slowly regain power in each state accusing the progressives of corruption and promising keep the whites safe from the Freedmen. So by 1877 redeemers control every state of the old confederacy and within years of 1877 the Supreme Court rules "separate but equal" and the "Jim Crow" laws come in full force by 1890's. By 1877 the Freedmen labor was well under the control of the whites in the x-confederate states.. RAMPAGING OUT THE TRUTH.... Last edited on Sat Aug 23rd, 2008 07:16 pm by 5fish |

as in many things absolutism usually misses the mark when trying to ascertain "THE TRUTH" regarding a morally sensitive and factually subjective issue such as reconstruction. Usually those who espouse their views as "THE TRUTH" are deeply entrenched as well as emotionally attached to a particularly polarized school of thought regarding the issue being discussed and are loath to appreciate any information that does not reinforce their argument. Just look at American politics for a prime example. My point being that when delving into a matter like reconstruction it is important to keep an open mind regarding the facts and to realize that the truth is usually somewhere in between the extremes. Otherwise it's just an adult version of "DID NOT...DID TOO...DID NOT...DID TOO!" and the result is nothing more than a well researched shouting match. |

Herman Cain delivers debate analysis
Former GOP candidate praises Romney
There were no 9-9-9 or pizza references.
Herman Cain didn't mention two of the most memorable aspects of his own presidential candidacy in an interview Thursday morning, but said Mitt Romney's Wednesday debate showing reminded him of their primary faceoffs.
"I saw the same Mitt Romney that I saw when I was debating him during the Republican primary," the former Republican presidential candidate said Thursday morning on Fox News.
Cain dropped out of the GOP race last December, but before that had shared the stage with Romney - and others vying for the nomination - in nearly two dozen debates leading up to the primaries.
On Thursday, he praised Romney as "prepared" and "knowledgeable," calling the debate a "defining moment" for the GOP candidate.
Cain has previously said that debates are in Romney's wheelhouse, including in a January interview with CNN's Wolf Blitzer.
"Obviously, he's very seasoned, good in the debate situation, and I think he would be a good president," Cain said on CNN's "The Situation Room."
Meanwhile, President Barack Obama demonstrated onstage Thursday that "he does not know how jobs are created" and showed signs of "aggravated class warfare" in his debate performance, Cain said.
Since exiting the race, Cain offered several endorsements, conventional and "unconventional," as well as produced a series of attention-grabbing web videos. He has launched an online video hub and said he will take the reins of a talk radio program next year.

Purchased these being budget minded. Nice looking gloves that fit well, but after maybe three rides the stitching on the thumbs started coming undone. Gloves are still wearable, however this doesn't leave me too confident on any kind of crash protection.

I purchased a large and it fits great. I love the ratchet connection very fast and easy. only issue is the way Speed and Strength advertises their product to make you believe the shield is tinted. That is not the case it comes clear. Otherwise its a great helmet i would recommend to anyone.

As far as keeping you warm and dry, this jacket is great. I used this for a cold rain ride this past weekend. With the extra layers inside, it was TOO WARM for riding single track. I stopped, took out the inner layer, opened the vents and it was perfect for a high 40s day of dirt. Nice to have water inside the jacket as well. The back going very low around your rear and I didn't have an issue of water coming up my back. Had never heard of this band before, but based on reviews, I gave it a try and scored. Current pricing is a steal for what you get. I know this will work extremely well for my dual sport rides as well.

i love thisss song! prefer the others on her Goodbye Lullaby album thou :{) <3
i personally don't think theres anyone else in the world who enormous fan as i am, and who listens and has much love as i do for avril and her music, i can't go a day without listening to her. I saw her at in Sheffield at Hallam Arena which is my hometown, on the 12th of october 2004 at 7.30 pm, i think that was probably one of the best days of my life even though it was 7 years ago, all i can faintly remember was sitting on my dads shoulders screaming out the lyrics to her songs and one of the big bulky security guards told me to get down for safety issues haha, there was a opening guest band aswell called Simple Plan i think. I badly wanted to see her on the Black Star Tour but the closest was Manchester and my parents couldn't afford it because it was too far away and transport. Everyday i wish you can tour again and have a venue in sheffield? Bet you can't even remember coming to sheffield i wish i could meet you and tell you my favourite songs and how much i love your music. I'm an ordinary girl but you're that little bit inside me that makes me different, theres nothing else in the world that shows my passion as much as i do for your music. Your an inspiration to me, i can't sing but i can dance, i do streetdance but its hard to dance to your songs :') but whenever i'm alone, waiting for the bus, sat with friends, walking home or laid in bed at night i listen to the other odd songs but i always ALWAYS listen to you. and boy do i know your lyrics off by heart! i have a playlist on my itunes, phone and laptop of avril songs, and ive got about 90+ of them all your b-side, let go, under my skin, best damn thing, goodbye lullaby, bonus tracks and covers. I'd have to say i love all of your songs so much and i know EVERY single one off by HEART, they all give me a feeling inside which is so hard to describe i just love your music so much sometimes it evens gets me depressed, emotional, or happier than ever. I personally love your let go and under my skin albums loads haha :')) they're so old but they sound brand new and amazing every 100,000,000th time i listen to them! and your goodbye lullaby album is fab too. I just really hope you have a new album out again which i strongly guarantee i'll love because your voice can make any song great, and you could have a UK tour hehe? or a europe tour but come to sheffield so i can smile and it would be a memory that will be stuck in my heart forever till i die <3 i truly mean it, if you never existed, i never would. it would mean absolutely loads to see you in concert, yeah i saw you 7 years ago but i can't remember much of it! your a kind, lovely and beautiful person and i love your personality, sometimes from your song lyrics they always express my feelings and you remind me of my self sometimes but i wish i knew you! i can't go a day with out your songs, you made me who i am. love you avril

This saddle seat helps you replicate an equestrian's healthy posture to reduce back fatigue and discomfort while seated. Its gentle forward slope shifts the pelvis forward and raises the buttocks above the knees, resulting in semi-standing posture that discourages slouching--major causes of back discomfort. The sides of the seat are also sloped, spreading the knees apart (hip abduction) and keeping the pelvis upright to reduce stress on the back, shoulders, and neck. Unlike traditional chairs that can restrict blood circulation in the legs, the saddle seat does not exert contact pressure on the back of the legs, reducing muscle fatigue. The chair swivels 360ş and has five casters for optimal mobility and stability, its polyurethane foam seat is soft yet supportive, and it has a durable polished aluminum frame. With tilt- and height-adjustment. Supports up to 280 lbs. 21"-28" H x 17" W x 14" D. (17 1/2 lbs.)
Lifetime Guarantee
The Posture Improving Saddle Seat comes with The Hammacher Schlemmer Lifetime Guarantee at no additional charge. If this product ever disappoints you, for any reason, you may return your Hammacher Schlemmer purchase for exchange, credit, or refund.Should you have any questions, we are available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Please call 1-800-321-1484 to speak with a product specialist or email us at email@example.com to receive a response within one hour.

Marvelous for sitting at the desk

It adjusts to match my movements so no matter how I am working, my back is always in straight alignment. My back feels great.

Surprisingly comfortable.and works!
By San with Medical Experience
from Weaverville, NC
This stool helps me correct how I sit, without pain, without effort. It assembled easily and quickly.I can move around on it, but it does require sitting down carefully, preferably holding onto the stool.
By Mother
from Floresville, TX
My daughter has a scoliosis and walks with a cane. She is comfortable on this stool while quilting and everyday chores such as ironing. It is wonderful to see that she is not in pain. Thank you.
Back Saver
By Doc P
from Norwalk, CT
I love this chair. I've been using mine for a year now and it is still super comfortable and in great shape. It's been so good for my lower back pain that I get sitting in regular chairs. Really makes you sit upright and is so much more comfortable than it looks. I spend 30-45 hours per week in this chair. Would definitely buy it again.
Love my chair!
By Love my chair!
from Davis, CA
It tells me when I'm slouching, looks good, and stows easily under my desk so the room feels more spacious--love it!Note: This chair will improve your posture, not lock it in the way only a thousand-dollar saddle seat will, but is sturdy, serviceable, and well worth the money!
Very positive experience!
By Retired Dancer
from San Jose, CA
I have been using the saddle chair for four months now, and I am as happy with it as on day one! Using it in the kitchen on hardwood floor while cooking. No damage to the floor either.
I love this Saddle Seat
By Toni
from Palm Desert, CA
I use this seat in place of my desk chair. It allows me to maintain perfect posture, and proper positioning of my neck and head while working at the computer. It's fabulous! And has eliminated all of the difficulties I was having with my neck and lower back.

Great for posture; however...
By Dallas, Texas
from Dallas, Texas
Product arrived on time, very simple to assemble, and GREAT for posture and back fatigue with prolonged typing (my primary reason for purchase). However, I believe this may be better suited for females. I was unable to use chair for longer than 45 min without "saddle numbness/tingling" (pudendal nerve compression). It was quite the conundrum b/c I absolutely love the chair for my posture, but I know I am only comfortable using for 20 min or so. I passed it on to my wife and she loves it and is able to use it for long periods without issue.
It does exactly what it says it will do.
By M3
from Toronto, Ontario, Canada
As a Registered Massage Therapist I use the Saddle Seat a lot of the time while performing particular types of treatment modalities. It does exactly what it reports it will do. My posture has improved, and I no longer have a low back ache as I did when using other hydraulic stools. I highly recommend it to anyone who has to sit for any length of time at a desk, computer, or treatment table.

If so, Handel miscalculated. Britain was not yet officially at war with France, and George IIs army was a makeshift force known as the Pragmatic Army, which combined British, Hanoverian and Hessian troops. Moreover, George had reputedly fought with a Hanoverian sash, not in British uniform. Most fundamentally, the battle at Dettingen was a peripheral skirmish, not one leading to an advantageous or desired peace treaty after a difficult prolonged war (that was not to come until October 1748, with the arguably unsatisfying Treaty of Aix-la-Chapelle). Thus the Elector of Hanovers victory was of little long-term value to Britain, notwithstanding the fact it had inflated the royal ego: George II had long yearned to be a military hero, and at last his wish had been fulfilled. But the scale and manner of the victory were unlikely to cause the British government to organize a public thanksgiving in the emblematic national cathedral, not least because it would have provoked outrage from opposition politicians eager to point out how Britains interests were often being relegated to those of the royal familys German province.
The last page of Handels autograph manuscript, on which he would have signed and dated the work upon its completion, is now lost, but on 28 July 1743 his assistant John Christopher Smith wrote to the Earl of Shaftesbury: [Handel] is now upon a new Grand Te Deum and Jubilate, to be performed at the Kings return from Germany (but He keeps this a great secret and I would not speak of it to any Body but to your Lordship) and by the Paper he had from me I can guess that it must be almost finished. This I think perfectly well Judgd to appeace and oblige the Court and Town with such a grand Composition and Performance.
In the event, Handel did not compose a companion Jubilate, but two days later he proceeded to compose the anthem The King shall Rejoice (HWV265, a different work to the coronation anthem with the same title). The anthem was completed on 3 August, but any remaining notion that a public ceremony might be held in St Pauls dwindled away as it became clear that George II was not anxious to return to his British throne whilst residing for the rest of summer at Hanover.
London newspapers reported that the King would not return to England until the middle of November, which further delayed the official premiere of Handels new composition. George II finally left Hanover on 9 November, on which date Handel rehearsed the new Te Deum at the Banqueting House Chapel in Whitehall. Mrs Delany, Handels loyal friend and supporter, attended the rehearsal and enthusiastically reported to her sister: It is excessively fine, I was all rapture everybody says it is the finest of his compositions; I am not well enough acquainted with it to pronounce that of it, but it is heavenly. However, Jemima, Marchioness Grey, found the music vastly loud & I thought not agreable.
Six days later the King eventually arrived at St Jamess Palace. Now with the prospect of an actual performance on an appropriate occasion, Handel organized a full rehearsal at the Banqueting House on 18 November, and probably expected that his music would be performed on the first Sunday after the Kings return to London. However, there was yet another postponement because Sunday 20 November was the anniversary of Queen Carolines death. The performance for the King eventually took place at the Chapel Royal morning service on Sunday 27 November, five months to the day since the Battle of Dettingen. It must have been an odd experience for all participants: the modest Chapel Royal at St Jamess was a tiny venue in comparison to the wide open spaces at St Pauls, thus presumably making the large-scale music loud enough to shake the walls, and the Te Deum and anthem were in an utterly different style to the more intimate and compact anthems usually performed there. Instead of a short verse anthem with a small band of instruments, a large group of musicians proceeded to play grand ceremonial music for nearly an hour. Also, it is difficult to imagine that there was sufficient room in it for both the required performers and a congregation, although the next days Daily Advertiser confirmed that there was a congregation, and that it also heard a Sermon preachd by the Rev. Dr. Thomas.
The vocal parts were performed by the singers of the Chapel Royal, and accompaniment was provided by His Majestys Band of Musicians, and several extraordinary performers (i.e. external musicians hired in for the occasion). The soloists included the basses John Abbot and Bernard Gates, both of whom were named in Handels autograph. The solos were clearly written to cater for their particular voices: the splendid trumpet aria Thou art the King of Glory was presumably tailor-made for Gates, whereas Abbots solos When thou tookest upon thee and Vouchsafe, O Lord suggest that he possessed a softer and more lyrical voice. The countertenor soloist was probably Anselm Bayly, but it seems that he was not fond of the piece. In his Practical Treatise on Singing and Playing, published a quarter of a century later, he criticized the opening movement as too complex and noisy, once voice and instrument pursuing another as fast as they can first down hill then climbing up the same back way; till at length arrived at the top again, with much ado and out of breath, all bawl out again.
A modern listener might disagree that such energetic musical excitement is unattractive. The stark militaristic opening gambit is like a battle drum, which hops between just two notes and swaggers with self-assurance; the antiphonal skirmish between the woodwind and brass with strings conveys a wonderful sense of momentum. For this, and also some other passages in the score, Handel was influenced by a Latin setting of the Te Deum by Francesco Antonio Urio. He might have acquired a manuscript copy of Urios music during his early years in Rome from Cardinal Pietro Ottoboni, although it is odd that Handela compulsive borrower of musical materialdid not use any ideas from Urios score until 1738 (in Saul and Israel in Egypt). He also recalled music from one of his own recent works, with the trumpet fanfare following We believe that thou shalt come to be our judge clearly borrowed from The trumpet shall sound (Messiah had received its controversial London premiere only eight months previously).
Some of the magnificent boldness in Handels Dettingen Te Deum might seem thrillingly bellicose (for example the excitable acceleration in energy from the trumpets and drums in the last few bars of To thee Cherubin and Seraphin continually do cry), but some highly cultivated writing shows his range of delicacy, expressive versatility and imagination. The triple-time alto solo All the earth doth worship thee has gracefulness in the springy interplay between first and second violins in its introduction (and is reminiscent of a similar trick used for The land brought forth frogs in Israel in Egypt). The heart of the work is the tender Thou sittest at the right hand of God, a sensuous Andante in B flat in which a mellifluous vocal theme is shared in turns between the altos, tenors and basses, and then all three sections of the choir combine in rapturous expanding harmonies. Most surprising of all is the final movement. Instead of the belligerent militarism encountered in the dramatic opening, O Lord, in thee have I trusted is a triple-time Andante with a graceful Purcellian melody that suggests a mood of gratitude and warmth. Handels last setting of the Te Deum contains plenty of ceremonial choruses in D major and brilliant trumpets, but no two movements are exactly alike; this music is a roller-coaster that plunges the listener through meticulously crafted contrasts, and it bears the hallmark of the composers characteristic versatility.
