Fashion for the blind…
Bathing in dirt, they said they'd keep us safe… They lied and took it back…
The symphony of collision will play my song..
Ah, here comes then crescendo… now.
My trust has gone away…
The dress has fallen away (oh my)
Fate has found a way, tonight…
"Stay now, close your eyes…"
"You don't know… You don't know… You don't know… You don't know what made us all this way…"
"This I swear little lady, you can't kill me tonight…
This I swear pretty baby, god can't stop me tonight…
When you came and we kissed in your wet dress, I tasted a siren…
And as far as I knew, you were perfect… But I was all wrong…
You could burn homes, you could cry out, you still can't get me tonight."
"You are still with me."
[(a) smothering grip.]
Coughing up blood,
I swear that I heard:
"Try... Watch with your heart."
Yet, it never happened… Yet.
"I pilot a weapon… I just find comfort in it"
[Breaking and entering a new world, only to find static…]
"…I once piloted a weapon. Back when I still felt comfort."
I followed the future, until it tried to tempt my life...
"Trust me…"
"Trust me, I'll gift your bodies free from caution. Free from torture."
[There is no god,
There is no peace]
I breathe in the fire…
Wait, here I hope that as you're far away, (you) don't find your way back home.
"Why's the cold back?
It's what we've all feared…
She found her way back home…"
She's causing chaos…

An Equilibrium Model of the Term Structure of Interest Rates: Recursive Preferences at Play
In this paper we analyze the performance of an equilibrium model of the term structure of the interest rate under Epstein-Zin/Weil preferences in which consumption growth and inflation follow a VAR process with logistic stochastic volatility. We find that the model can successfully reproduce the first moment of yields and their persistence, but fails to reproduce their standard deviation. The filtered stochastic volatility is a good indicator of crises and shows high persistence, but it is not enough to generate a slowly decaying volatility of yields with respect to maturity. Preference parameters are estimated to be about 4 for the coefficient of relative risk aversion and infinity for the elasticity of intertemporal substitution.Download Info

Wage rigidities and jobless recoveries
Real wage rigidities cause jobless recoveries. Suppose that a one-time shock reduces the capital stock below trend. If wages are flexible, they decline and employment increases at the moment of the shock, before both revert back to normal levels as the economy grows back to trend. If wages are completely rigid and the labor market is otherwise frictionless, the shock causes a proportional and permanent decline in employment, capital, output, consumption, and investment relative to trend. In a search model with rigid wages, the shock causes a persistent but not permanent decline in these economic outcomes, a jobless recovery.Download Info

Musical drama from the Old Testament in Danbury
Felix Mendelssohn's "Elijah" takes an Old Testament story and Baroque and Classical oratorio forms and creates a sprawling, Romantic music drama that has been popular since its premiere in England, 160 years ago. The forces of the Danbury Music Centre showed how exciting and dramatic a work it is in their performance at St. James Church on Saturday night. The text is adapted from several incidents in the life of the prophet Elijah. A drought afflicts the people of Israel because they have abandoned their faith and embraced the heathen god Baal; Elijah shows them the error of their ways and brings rain with his plea to the Lord. More troubles lead him to sojourn in the wilderness, discouraged, but he is finally triumphant, rising in a fiery chariot to heaven. Richard Price, music director of the Danbury Concert Chorus, conducted with a sure hand, but much of his work had obviously been done beforehand. The volunteer chorus had been exceedingly well trained, making entrances with assurance, following dynamic cues and playing their dramatic roles with conviction. The chorus summoned a big, full sound when needed and crisply handled passages of interjections, such as Elijah's recitative with chorus early in the piece. One of the choir's several roles is as the Priests of Baal, who vainly call on their pagan god; the sections tossed their phrases back and forth, convincingly portraying the desperate crowd. In quiet, chorale-like settings or the famous choruses "Lift thine eyes" and "He watching over Israel" they showed their sensitive side, in soft, well-phrased singing. The later choruses found them still with enough energy and sensitivity to sing of the mighty wind, the sea's upheaval and the "still, small voice" in which the Lord finally speaks. Bass-baritone Michael Riley, in the title role, led a fine quartet of soloists. He sings with a clear, ringing tone and none of the common bass wooliness. His diction and dramatic presentation are first rate. His challenge to the Priests of Baal, sarcastic dismissal of them after their god fails to respond and his invocation of his own God's might ("Is not his word like a fire?") were fiery and strong. The air "Lord God of Abraham" showed his lyrical side. His air of quiet resignation, "O Lord, I have labored in vain", rounded out his portrayal of the prophet in all his facets. Soprano Elisabeth Baer and Mezzo-soprano Laura Vlasek Nolen were a complementary, well-matched pair in the opening duet and continued to impress in their respective solos. Baer has sung Wagnerian roles and brought dramatic conviction and exciting high notes. Nolen's mezzo is smooth and well produced throughout its range. Her singing sounds effortless, calm and in control, angry ("Woe unto them who forsake Him") or plaintive ("O rest in the Lord") as required. Tenor Christopher Pfund was announced as singing with strep throat, which doubtless explained some fraying in his upper register. His sure phrasing and lyrical line were still in evidence. Boy soprano Libai Jordan sang out strongly and sweetly as the youth who announces the coming of the rain, God's answer to Elijah's prayer. Price conducted a well-built, expertly paced performance. The tension of long, expressive lines led to satisfying dramatic peaks. Mendelssohn's audiences, like Handel's before him, looked for theatrical excitement in the telling of Biblical stories, and this performance came out of that tradition. The Danbury Symphony Orchestra played well for him, particularly in the large passages full of brass and percussion. First cellist Laura Flachbart played her duet with Elijah ("It is enough") sensitively and surely. The visceral thrill of the final chorus would surely have sent Victorian audiences home satisfied, just as it did this one. |
Premiere highlights Community Orchestra concert DANBURY -- The Danbury Community Orchestra gave the world premiere performance of a suite from "The Bridge of San Luis Rey" last Sunday and it was breathtaking. Composed by Paula M. Kimper (b. 1956), the performance was at Ives Concert Hall at WestConn. Kimper and Steven Michael Smith, music director and conductor of the Danbury Community Orchestra, nearly brought the house down in their collaboration. Kimper had been working closely with Smith and the orchestra earlier in the week, fine tuning the suite which was derived in part from her opera. Kimper's composition was based on Thornton Wilder's Pulitzer Prize winning novel set in the Peruvian Andes, involving a quest for meaning in the lives and deaths of people who perished when a rope bridge they were crossing failed. (In an interesting coincidence, on Tuesday The New York Times featured an article about similar suspension bridges, citing Wilder's book.) The wind chimes and flutes playing against droning strings created a sense of high altitude eeriness in the opening bars, with trumpets building up to the snapping cables and perilous descent. The solemn story unfolded with melodic majesty through the use of interesting orchestration including piano, woodwinds, and percussion. Emotional and evocative, the suite blended Spanish flavors with diverse thematic imagery. The overall effect was spellbinding. The musical program had a lot of other exciting works, starting with excerpts from "Prelude from Die Meistersinger von Nurnberg," by Richard Wagner (1813 - 1883). A full array of brass added a rich harmonic texture to the popular theme that had plenty of orchestral oomph. Four of the graduating seniors formed a string quartet performing with the orchestra, (but without Smith!) in the rondo from "Serenade No. 6 in D Major, K. 239, (Serenata notturna)" by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (1756 - 1791). This juxtaposition was actually a very nice way to display both orchestra and quartet. Violinists Elena Zitzman and Kellie Kravarik, violist Julia Isaacson, and cellist David Becroft formed the quartet and showed a lot of musical maturity. Smith acknowledged all of the seniors, after spending years together with them. The young members of the Danbury Preparatory String Orchestra, led by Music Director and Conductor Glen Lebetkin showed their sure sense of timing and generally good tonality in Mozart's "Divertimo No. 3." They were really cooking in "The Irish Crossing the Sea" by Bob Phillips. Several significant symphonic segments were presented. The stern chords in the allegro from "Symphony No. 2 in B Minor" by Alexander Borodin (1833 - 1887) sounded dramatic and exotic. I'm not sure how far Smith plans on going with the cycle of symphonies by Ludwig van Beethoven (1770 - 1827), a formidable endeavor indeed. Last year they performed part of Symphony No.1, this year the fourth movement from "Symphony No. 2 in D Major, Op. 36," thundering into the satisfying finale. For an encore they all took off with "Superman's Theme" from the film score by John Williams. They all sounded Super! |
WMNR Fine Arts Radio marks 25th anniversary with concert NEWTOWN -- It may appear there were 25th anniversary concerts happening left and right last weekend, but it was something quite special actually. WMNR Fine Arts Radio has been providing around the clock broadcasting of primarily classical programming for the last 25 years, serving listeners far beyond their station in Monroe. I hope they're going to be around forever. The station's general manager, Kurt Anderson, conducted members of the Danbury Symphony Orchestra in a Leroy Anderson Pops Concert last Sunday afternoon at Edmond Town Hall, celebrating with some of his father's most popular compositions. Each of the tunes was introduced using the PBS video documentary "Once Upon a Sleigh Ride." The transitions from video to live performances were as natural as the music. Leroy Anderson (1908 - 1975) will be having his centennial anniversary next year, and his work seems to be gaining popularity in the American songbook as time goes by. Some tunes have become inseparably connected to theme songs or seasonal events and are instantly recognized by just about everybody. Much of his work was composed when he lived in nearby Woodbury. We got to see and hear many musical family resemblances, with Leroy's son Kurt conducting, and his grandson Lars Vercelli singing two songs from the Broadway musical "Goldilocks." Vercelli's baritone and charisma came through loud and clear in "Save a Kiss" and "Shall I Take My Heart and Go?" The video featured numerous pops celebrities such as Skitch Henderson, Arthur Fiedler and John Williams giving their anecdotes and accolades to Leroy Anderson, but the music speaks for itself. Kurt and the DSO seemed to be having a ball from start to finish. Some of the tunes were downright silly, and gave percussionist extraordinaire Albert Montecalvo chances to whistle, bark, yell, or just scrape the rim of his tom tom as in "Sandpaper Ballet." Montecalvo's woodblocks kept time with some help from Kurt's baton and alarm clock in "The Syncopated Clock." DSO Music Director Ari Rudiakov left his baton at home, but joined the string section with his viola. Phil Pitner's solo in "A Trumpeter's Lullaby" with the strings had a catchy rhythm. The wistful "Forgotten Dreams" began on video with Leroy playing piano with his right hand while conducting with his left, and ended with the DSO and Debbie Morris in a lovely flute solo. Oboist Donna Locke played triangle with Montecalvo going ticka-ticka-ticka-ticka-tick-TING in "The Typewriter." John Babina, who serves as technical advisor and founded WMNR with his wife Carol, thanked all the people who make the listener supported station possible, the volunteers, members and donors, and he introduced some of the staff as seen in an old photo. During intermission I was able to meet some of the people behind the microphones or behind the scenes at WMNR as they served refreshments. It was good to finally have faces to go with the voices I've been listening to for years on the radio. The orchestra added real playfulness to their playing. The strings in "The Waltzing Cat" created a pleasant combination of smoothness and meowing. "March of Two Left Feet" had brass and winds sounding deliberately clumsy. But the DSO could also sound simply marvelous, as in "Belle of the Ball" and "Blue Tango," the first instrumental to top the hit parade and become a gold record. For an encore, they gave a spirited "Sleigh Ride" with some jazzy brass, and Vercelli cracking the whip from the sidelines. In his closing comments, Kurt made it clear how much he appreciated WMNR, the DSO, and everyone's support.
Musical illustrations with the Danbury Symphony Orchestra DANBURY -- In his first season as music director and conductor for the Danbury Symphony Orchestra, Ariel Rudiakov seems to have a knack for selecting pieces that work well, for orchestras and audiences alike. The Danbury Music Centre presented another DSO concert last Sunday afternoon at Ives Concert Hall at WestConn with a diverse selection of music that illustrated some exciting picture painting with sound. What better way to get off to a rip-roaring start than an overture by Gioacchino Rossini (1792 - 1868)? The comic opera "The Italian Girl in Algiers" actually starts out slowly, with plucked strings, brash brass, and a brief oboe tune. But with typical Rossini crescendos, the strings and woodwinds built percussive oomph into the joyful carefree themes. Rudiakov felt that the score for "Prelude to An Afternoon of a Faun," by impressionist composer Claude Debussy (1862 - 1918), left no margin for error whatsoever. Admittedly, the DSO was exposed throughout the hauntingly sensuous spellbinding music, but they really pulled it off wonderfully. The flute as faun was daydreaming about a romp with a nymph, with an enchanting mix of harp, horns, and strings providing a soft cushion for all to play in. Smooth floating winds entered airily, with the orchestra swelling and ebbing in passion. We came back to earth in a Bohemian countryside with three "Slavonic Dances" by Antonin Dvorak (1841 - 1904). Pleasant peasant dances with a flurry of activity created a party atmosphere, with a touch of nostalgia. In dance "No. 2 in e minor, Op. 72" rhapsodic violins against pizzicato cellos had a bittersweet taste. After intermission, I was happy to see some interesting reeds join in with the DSO for a jazzy performance of "An American in Paris," by George Gershwin (1898 - 1937). The music created the hustle and bustle of a walk through the busy streets in Paris, complete with taxi horns. It seemed you could smell the atmospheres of the different shops, passing here and there, peeking inside. A bluesy medley suggested homesickness, but was overcome with delight in continuing to wander around the City of Lights with a new friend. There was so much going on. Whew! Trumpets as the protagonists, come-hither violins, good vibes -- all were excellent! Rudiakov and his new friends with the DSO deserved the standing ovation they received. "An American in Paris" has some interesting Connecticut connections. Occasional Stamford resident Deems Taylor wrote the original program notes for the premiere of the work at Carnegie Hall in 1928, with Walter Damrosch conducting the New York Philharmonic. Taylor's descriptive notes take you through how Gershwin used five principal themes, where they walked, what they drank, etc. The original notes will be included in the soon to be published book "Deems Taylor: Selected Writings" by former News-Times music correspondent Jim Pegolotti. |
Thrilling concert with Danbury Symphony Orchestra Danbury -- With an exciting program that was both entertaining and educational, Music Director and Conductor Ariel Rudiakov and the Danbury Symphony Orchestra made lots of new friends last Sunday afternoon. The Danbury Music Centre presented "A Young People's Concert" at WestConn's Ives Concert Hall, perhaps inspiring some in the audience to join onstage someday. I expect they will be successful, as it looked like they were having a lot of fun up there. Before a note was played, Albert Montecalvo, summer bands program director for the Music Centre, explained how music students could participate in a five-week session and keep their instruments from getting too dusty during the long break between classroom lessons. Family concerts deliberately reach out to children who may have only a limited amount of exposure to classical music. Rudiakov certainly kept that in mind in the selection of pieces that were performed. Cymbals crashed as the DSO came to life with a lively pair of Czech folk tunes from "Slavonic Dances, Op. 46" by Antonin Dvorak (1841 -- 1904). They were off to a good start, demonstrating how hearing a live Orchestra could make the room vibrate with music. Colorful introductions were given for each of the pieces by WQXR radio personality Robert Sherman. I always find it helpful to hear informative comments pointing out some of the highlights, before the music starts. Sherman effectively combined folksy humor, a bit of poetry, and his straightforward insight to amuse as well as instruct. Three selections from "Children's Corner" by Claude Debussy (1862 -- 1918), transcribed for Orchestra by Caplet displayed some of the softer tones of the Orchestra. Debussy composed the suite for his 5-year-old daughter Chouchou, describing parts of her world in tone pictures. Drum rolls combined with brass to create grotesque awkwardness in "Golliwogg's Cake Walk." The winner of this year's annual DSO Student Concerto Competition, Bianca Yuh, provided the musical high point with her sparkling performance of the first movement of "Piano Concerto in g minor" by Felix Mendelssohn (1809 --1847). Her expressive development of lyrical passages blended smoothly with the Orchestra. At 16, Yuh has achieved a high degree of polish in her exciting performance. The only thing she needed any help with was carrying armloads of flowers offstage. Sherman narrated "The Thrill of the Orchestra" by Russell Peck (b. 1945), explaining how the four sections are organized, and giving demonstrations of what the different instruments look like, how they work, and what they sound like. Clowning around, especially the brass, waving their instruments overhead, and even wearing some of them as hats, the DSO seemed to be having a ball. By the super-duper ending, we could all understand why the sound of an Orchestra is so grand! The Foster Adoptive Mission provided major funding for the event.
Music Centre stages festive 'Nutcracker' DANBURY--The Danbury Music Centre gave a lush and lavish rendering of "The Nutcracker Ballet" on Friday night at the High School, marking the 40th anniversary of a wonderful holiday tradition in the community. Hundreds of people participated in the production, making it possible for thousands to attend and enjoy what has become a high point on many calendars. The cast of characters included children of all ages (from six to over 70 years old) and they all seemed to be having a ball, dancing, prancing, and making a fairy tale dream come true for a few hours. E.T.A. Hoffmann's story, set to music by Peter Ilyich Tchaikovsky (1840-1893) was given the deluxe treatment by the Danbury Music Centre. Yes, there were quite a few grown ups involved with "The Nutcracker," directing, conducting, choreographing, etc. Doing all of this and then some were Arthur Fredric and his wife, Lisa Denton, who creatively captured the artistic talent of all involved. The costumes, scenery, and special effects were incredible. Everything blended together magically in Tchaikovsky's lusciously scored music, with Richard Price leading the Danbury Symphony Orchestra. But the real stars of the show were the kids; most of them still attending school in the area. And there were a lot of them. So many of them, doing so many different things, often at the same time, and the overall effect was positively bursting at the seams with exuberant energy. In the Arabian dance, 15 year-old Danielle Rose Dorsey was amazing. After poking her hand and foot over the top of her veil, she combined exotic grace, flexibility, and balance until she rolled herself into a tiny ball to be enfolded in the veil. Zach Robinson and the Russian dancers had their arms and legs twirling around in unison at a frantic pace. How do they do that? Jerry Walton played a cool Uncle Drosselmeyer, the bearer of the best presents. Megan Schwartz and Kieran Minor combined humor with endearment as Clara and her mischievous brother Fritz. From passing out presents to passing out on the couch with her wounded nutcracker, Schwartz happily floated around the stage in her nightgown all night. Rob Sniffin joined her as Drosselmeyer's handsome nephew, who looked a lot like the Prince later on. Elizabeth Rose Cox and Peter Nevin did a fine Pas de Deux as the Sugar Plum Fairy and her Cavalier. Dew Drop Fairy Tory Senete had a bouquet of beautiful flowers assisting her in some complicated routines. Danbury Mayor Mark Boughton had quite a skirtful as Mother Ginger. And those wild Ginger Clowns were a riot. I also noted a few things that didn't happen. The mice didn't trip over their tails, none of the angels lost a halo, and no one knocked over the Christmas tree. Any way you look at it, it was a successful performance. Anyone who might need a jump-start to get into the spirit of the holidays should attend "The Nutcracker." For over 30 years, it's been the traditional Christmas morning wake up music in our home, and the season wouldn't be the same without it. The year's final performance of "The Nutcracker Ballet" is at 3 p.m. today at Danbury High School. The show is sold out. |
Community Orchestra tells
musical tales in Danbury Danbury -- Certain stories just can't be told without music. But sometimes the music is so engaging that it takes on a life of its own. This was the case last Sunday at WestConn where Music Director and Conductor Stephen Michael Smith led the Danbury Community Orchestra in a program where some tales were told without words. Donna Locke, a member of Danbury Music Centre's board of directors, said the main requirement was for everyone to have a good time. Mission accomplished, thanks to the talented musicians who put on a good performance mainly because they love doing it. They didn't beat around the bushes getting started. "March to the Scaffold" from "Symphonie Fantastique, Op. 14" by Hector Berlioz (1803-1869) conjured up the nightmarish visions of a heartbroken soul on his way to the gallows. Following the foreboding horns and tympani, the strings joined in the march, section by section with the bassoon bubbling in the background. The intensity built up as the brass joined in and you could see a few smiles in the Orchestra. Regardless of the somberness of the story, this piece was fun to both play and listen to. Henri Rabaud's Orchestration of "Dolly Suite, Op. 56" by Gabriel Faure (1845-1924) is a collection of reflections from childhood. The flute in the "Berceuse" sounded sweet in the familiar lullaby. The snare drum had crisp entrances in the "Le Pas Espagnol" waltz, while strings and brass played along with continental flair. Smith explained some of the struggle behind the story line for "Coriolan Overture, Op. 62" by Ludwig van Beethoven (1770-1827). The Orchestra effectively captured the raging emotions in this passionate tale. The resolution of the conflict was expressed as the overture ended, not with a crescendo, but with a fade out of the opening three chords repeating as Coriolanus is killed for treason. Not all tales have happy endings. Blending modernism with nostalgia, Witold Lutoslawski (1913-1994) gave a lesson in Polish folklore in his "Mala Suite (Little Suite)." For late 20th century music, the work was instantly accessible and sparkling with energy. Violinist Stanley Chang and the rest of the strings worked well with the woodwinds in the Slavic dance "Taniec." Sometimes I have trouble deciding what my favorites are, but without a doubt "Dances from the Bartered Bride" by Bedrich Smetana (1824-1884) stood out as the best performance given by the Danbury Community Orchestra. More than a Czech opera with an engaging love story, the dances have exotic Bohemian charm with universal appeal. And every section, every member of every section, really sounded good, no -- make that great. Suitable for recording, if Smith ever puts out a greatest-hits CD, this should be on it. Santa Smith came back wearing a big red hat for a well-deserved encore, "I'm Dreaming of a White Christmas." Rich, relaxed and resonant, it was a nice arrangement of the old chestnut as we are about knee deep in the holiday season.
Danbury Concert Chorus marries poetry and music DANBURY -- The marriage of poetry to music by the Danbury Concert Chorus was celebrated last Sunday afternoon at St. Joseph Church. Music Director and Conductor Richard Price combined something old and something new with a selection of poems set to music ranging from the 15th century to modern times. The program made a chronological exploration of poems in five thematic sections. Many of the modern compositions were receiving their first performance in Danbury. Under the umbrella of the Danbury Music Centre, Nancy and Alton Eckert funded the event. I didn't notice any bouquets being tossed around, but Price and the DCC really threw themselves into the performance. We won't say anything about batons here. Speaking from the pulpit, Morton Siegel gave readings and introductions for the poetry, previewing the verses before the chorus sang the arrangements. Guest harpist Sara Cutler added some delicate touches with her heavenly instrument. Maxim Vladimiroff provided a fine accompaniment on piano and harpsichord. Four anonymous poems were featured in the first section "In the Doggerel House." The opening madrigal "Mother, I Will Have a Husband" was set to music by Thomas Vautor (b.c.1590) with the sopranos wanting good lips to kiss, to kiss, to kiss. . . . Sounds good to me, but tenors beware. A small group from the DCC gathered near the harp to form a special chorus for the nostalgic "Innsbruck, ich muss dich lassen" by Heinrich Isaac (c.1450-1517). Everyone chirped away merrily in "Of All the Birds that I do Know" by John Bartlett (fl.c.1606). History was in the making, as Vladimiroff gave the debut performance of the Bettina Baruch Memorial Harpsichord, in "Galiarda" by William Byrd (1543-1623). Fortunately, the recently built Flemish style harpsichord sounded hundreds of years old. Price selected two different renderings of the 23rd Psalm attributed to King David in the next section, "In Green Pastures." Sung in Hebrew, "Adonai Ro'i" by Gerald Cohen (b.1960), had all vocalists sounding divinely evocative in their plaintive prayer. Soloists Diana Herstatt and Patricia Scharr added nicely to the full chorus. Sung in English, "The Lord is My Shepherd" by Randall Thompson (1899-1984), evoked a different emotional response to the same psalm, taking another path to get into the house of the Lord. Matthew Harris (b.1956) set three Shakespearean songs to different musical styles, beginning with "I Shall No More to Sea" from "The Tempest." This heartbreaking ballad reminded me of "The Jeannie C" by the late Canadian folk singer Stan Rogers. Spirits were quickly lifted in "O Heart" from "Troilus and Cressida," a bouncy doo-wop ditty featuring Brenda Hamilton and Molly Hennon. The 16-part sailors jig "When That I Was and a Little Tiny Boy" from "The Twelfth Night" built up to a climactic crescendo. Hey ho. After intermission, "The Music of Stillness" examined some 20th century American poetry set to modern compositions. Frank Ticheli (b.1958) used unusual expansive harmonies in Sara Teasdale's poem "There Will Be Rest." The chorus made statements affirming the simple details of everyday life activities in Jane Kenyon's "Let Evening Come," with spare music by Brian Holmes (b. 1946). The final section, "The Dreamers of Dreams," set Arthur O'Shaghnessy's poem to minimalist music by Gwyneth Walker (b.1947) with the stark sounding chorus building up some dramatic dynamics. The popular Appalachian folk hymn "The Water is Wide," by Stephen Paulus (b.1949), had the DCC and bassist Michael Forbes sounding exquisite. With the traditional "An Irish Blessing," By James Moore, Jr. (b.1962), everyone was given a warm send-off.
Rudiakov debuts with Danbury Symphony Orchestra DANBURY -- The premiere performance of Ariel Rudiakov as music director and conductor of the Danbury Symphony Orchestra was simply marvelous. If last Sunday's concert at Ives Hall on the WestConn campus was any indication of things to come, the two-year selection process recently completed by the Danbury Music Centre was well worth the wait. With a rather clever program, Rudiakov conducted an energized orchestra, performing fresh sounding compositions, playing on their own, with talented soloists, and even with some audience participation. In an event fraught with expectations, I think it's safe to say that a good time was had by all. Funding for the event was provided by The Center for Human Development, represented by veteran violinist Jacqueline Fusek who encouraged the nurturing of new talent in her gracious remarks. Rudiakov brought everyone to their feet several times, starting with a sing-along version of "The Star Spangled Banner" as harmonized and orchestrated by Igor Stravinsky (1882-1971). Engaging everyone present through music was an inspired approach for a nontraditional rendering of our national anthem. The stage was loaded with talent, bringing to bear the combined efforts of three world-class soloists joining the DSO in "Concerto for Piano, Violin, and Cello, Op. 56 (Triple Concerto)" by Ludwig van Beethoven (1770-1827). The members of the trio were pianist Nelson Padgett, violinist Joana Genova, and cellist David Calhoun. Genova was wearing many hats, as she joined the violists later in the program. She is also Rudiakov's wife. Calhoun's cello was made in Milan by Giovanni Grancino in 1696 and has to be a contender for the oldest instrument onstage at Ives Hall. The cello was heard first in each movement of the concerto, giving it a special prominence in the trio. The orchestra blended well with the soloists in a sure handed performance of Beethoven. Padgett's piano playing was grand, and in the Allegro, Genova and Calhoun exchanged smiles after nailing an arpeggio together. The trio combined for a brilliant flourish of fortissimo at the finale of the first movement. Following intermission, Rudiakov led the DSO in the "Piano Quartet in G minor, Op. 25" composed by Johannes Brahms (1833-1897), as orchestrated by Arnold Schoenberg (1874-1951). This was not the usual 12 tone Schoenberg, but more like another Brahms symphony. Right from the opening four-note figure, it sounded like Brahms, but with an interesting edge to it, with slight touches of Schoenberg's tendency toward atonality in places. Schoenberg's complex orchestration of the piano quartet gave it a modern style while retaining Brahms' romanticism. Rudiakov harnessed the multitude of sounds and polyphony of tones with the DSO in a crowd-pleasing performance. In the rousing finale, the percussive andante con moto was a gypsy dance, and I expected to see a few people get up and start swirling around. I'm sure some were tempted to do so. The piece forcefully demonstrated the orchestra's wide range, and gave everyone a chance to shine. At the end, Rudiakov had a lot of hands to shake. |
David Gale presents daring violin recital DANBURY--Young violinist David Gale and piano accompanist Weicong Zhang presented a fiery recital at the Danbury Music Centre on Saturday night. With some devilishly difficult pieces in their program, they dared to go where many musicians fear to tread. Fortunately, they seemed to be having some fun along the way too. In his introduction, John Cherry, secretary for the board of directors of the Danbury Centre, said he hoped everyone would enjoy the performance. Gale and Zhang made that part easy. The opening pieces featured Gale as soloist. In the first movement of "Sonata No. 2 for solo violin in A minor, BWV 1003" by J.S. Bach (1685-1750), Gale did some interpretive soul searching, almost like a prayer. He used good bow control in the fugue, developing variations on the theme, as one voice became many. The legendary violinist Niccolo Paganini (1782-1840) composed "24 Caprices for solo violin, Op. 1" knowing that few, if any, of his contemporaries would be able to perform them. Gale performed two of these technically challenging Caprices (Nos. 20 & 23) with a dazzling display of virtuosity. Gale's left hand was moving up and down the neck of his violin, fingers stretching out for double and triple stopping, glissandos, vibratos, what have you. You had to see it, as well as hear it, to believe it. Pianist Zhang joined Gale in the opening movements of "Sonata for piano and violin in A Major, K. 305" by W.A. Mozart (1756-1791). Both of them are students at the Manhattan School of Music, and the young musicians played well together in this high spirited but balanced duet. With splendid harmonies and rococo embellishments, the piano and violin accompanied each other with a rich sound in the Marian Anderson Recital Hall. Following intermission, they continued in "Sonata No. 5 for violin and piano in F Major, Op. 24" by Ludwig van Beethoven (1770-1827), called "Spring" for its lightheartedness. This juxtaposition of pieces in the program showed how Beethoven developed his piano and violin sonatas in the style of Mozart. The Scherzo had a musical joke, with the violin playing exactly one beat behind the piano, trying to catch up without succeeding. With sustained lyricism and undulating themes, Zhang and Gale sounded delightful together. Most violinists approach Paganini's "Le Streghe, Op. 8" (Witches Dance) with caution if at all. Incredibly demanding, just about everything in their bag of tricks is out in the open. Gale handled the roller coaster ride amazingly well, progressing from the majestic theme to the fireworks at the finale, generating a lot of heat along the way. It's quite a treat to get another visit from a 19-year-old who grew up in Ridgefield, and has already been performing all over the world. Later this month, he'll be competing in Moscow. We wish him our best in Russia, and hope to see him again in Danbury.

Mike, We had a great trip, enjoyed the use of your condo. You guys did a ncie job with the upgrades. We had friends in 206 and they were really disappointed in theirs as compared to yours. The only thing we noticed was that the blender - glass container, was cracked, it was still useable but it may crack further, we mentioned it to your wife as we were leaving. We plan on using it again... Thanks, NateDid you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 0/0

I CAN'T BELIEVE IT'S OVER. 5 AM AND PACKING UP TO HEAD HOME. MY FAMILY HAD SUCH A WONDERFUL TIME HERE IN ORANGE BEACH. YOUR CONDO WAS GREAT. AS EVERYONE ELSE, WE RAVED ABOUT THE ICE MAKER!!! PERFECT FOR THE BEACH. ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU KEEP SEEING OTHER GUEST CARRYING ICE BAGS IN FROM THE WINN DIXIE. THERE WERE SIX OF US. THEY'VE ALREADY SAID THEY WOULD LIKE TO LIVE HERE. WAKING UP & SEEING THE BEACH WAS AWESOME! THE CONDO STAYED NICE AND COOL ON HOT DAYS WHICH WE SURE DID APPRECIATE WHEN COMING IN AFTER A LONG DAY. WE DID HAVE ONE RAINY MORNING. IT WAS VERY ENTERTAINING TO WATCH THE STORM COME IN, THEN WATCH THE PEOPLE RUN FROM THE BEACH, I FOUND IT UNBELIEVABLE THAT EVEN KNOWING THERE WAS RAIN ON THE WAY, NO ONE SEEMED TO CARE. THE LARGE TV WAS NICE AND WASHER & DRYER SO CONVIENIENT. I SUGGEST THAT YOUR OTHER GUESTS NOT TO FORGET TO PUT THE NECESSITIES ON YOUR GROCERY LIST, LAUNDRY SOAP, DISH SOAP, MAYBE SOME NON STICK ALUMINUM FOIL IF YOU PLAN TO BAKE BREAKFAST. MOM DID BACON IN THE OVEN; VERY EASY. THERE MAY BE SOME SUPPLIES HERE FROM PREVIOUS GUESTS, BUT MAYBE NOT. DEFFINITELY HAVE LUNCH OR DINNER AT TACKY JACKS AND TAKE A PARASAIL RIDE. THANKS AGAIN AND WHOMEVER IS NEXT, I HOPE YOU HAVE A BLAST.P.S. Mike& Linda WE had a great time! Everything we could expect was available in the condo. Unfortunately for you the salt air is causing the deck furniture to peel other than that everything is fine. I think when the loose paint comes of you really won't have an issue. I would rather have your comfortable exterior furniture without paint than the uncomfortable plastic stuff. Thanks again and we hope to return.Ralph & KathyDid you find this review helpful?

text: Rational Software announces our 2012 IBM Champions! If you didn't see it initially Sunday night, or tweeted Monday morning, here's your chance to congratulate our 2012 IBM Champions for Rational software! The announcement was made on The Invisible Thread , IBM Rational's executive sponsored blog on developerWorks. Check out the "Announcing our 2012 IBM Champions" post and join us in congratulating the 19 new IBM Champions for Rational Software! Whether through developerWorks, jazz.net or social media, peer-to-peer participation helps you obtain the skills you need to be successful with Rational solutions. In some communities, you might have noticed colleagues or business partners who actively evangelize Rational tools and practices by running user groups, managing websites, speaking at conferences, writing books or blogs, or sharing their knowledge through relevant social media, and online forums. All of these activities bring value to our user communities. The IBM Champion program recognizes these innovative thought leaders in the technical community — and rewards these contributors by amplifying their voice and increasing their sphere of influence. An IBM Champion is an IT professional, business leader, developer, or educator who influences and mentors others to help them make best use of IBM software, solutions, and services. Even more notably, IBM Champions are not employees of IBM. Are you a client, academic, or business partner and think you'd like to become an IBM Champion for Rational Software next year?

Studying for the Putnam Exam
'the role of talent is vastly overestimated in mathematics' There's this thing called deliberate practice, and this book called The Cambridge Handbook of Expertise and Expert Performance (I very highly recommend this book). It says many things which sound like 'doing deliberate practice 4-5 hours/day for many years makes a mathematician' and 'hard work (deliberate practice) makes an expert, not innate talent'. Btw deliberate practice is hard work but not all hard work is deliberate practice. I just wanted to tell you because you seem very interested in it. |

It looks like you've already answered your own question in the quoted part of your question. Assuming that the quoted part of your question is TZakrevskiy's answer, which specific part of TZakrevskiy's answer are you unsatisfied with? Try to spend some time thinking hard about TZakrevskiy's answer and whether it makes sense or not. I don't know analysis so I can't help you any further |

poisson distribution of chocolate
@user48495 "We know that the MGF of a multinomial distribution is: $M(t_1, t_2,...t_k-1) = (p_1*e^t_1 + .... + p_k+1*e^t_k+1 + p_k)^n$ hence, the MGF of $X_2$, $X_3$, .... $X_k-1$ is $M(0, t_2,...t_k-1) = (p_1 + .... + p_k+1*e^t_k+1 + p_k)^n$" -adapted from rad at actuarialoutpost.com/actuarial_discussion_forum/archive/… |

My sister absolutely refuses to learn math
I didn't learn much in math classes in elementary. I found math easy but it simply didn't make sense to skip classes and self-study more advanced math. Math in school isn't fun for normal students (students who don't get high scores in math). In fact, we can make psychological arguments that education in school filled to the brink with negative feedback. Math in school only becomes fun if you understand how awesome math is in the 'adult world' |

I have a simple ajax enabled contact form.
When users send a message the form redirects to a Thank You page that I use to track conversions with Google Analytics.
However, the Thank You page is listed with all other pages in the menu. I dont want the world see the redirect page on the menu like/with all other pages.
Is there a way to hide the Thank You page and that only shows when a successful form is processed?

Since this is not cforms related, I need to ask you to raise the topic in a WP forum. A first thought would be to exclude the page ID from the list (look at the function call parameters)

It's So Hot In The 'Burgh
The Pittsburgh Penguins are the Stanley Cup Champions.
You're not alone if you still don't quite believe it.
At Diesel Saturday night.
To say that there's been some celebrating going on would be a huge understatement.
If you sent us a photo and it's not here, it will be in a future post.
On a wall at Joe Louis Arena.
On a white board in the Penguins lounge area, from FSN.
Once again, we'd like to thank everyone for sending us pictures and Photoshops and for printing out signs and pictures for your celebrations.
If you want a sign for the parade tomorrow, we've got a couple:.
Parade info from Penguins.NHL.com:
"The parade will commence at 12:00 noon and take the same route as last February's Super Bowl parade. Proceeding through Grant Street, the parade will loop to the Boulevard of the Allies and end at Stanwix Street where a stage celebration will be held. A media reviewing stand will be set up near the stage."

HAMTRAMCK, Mich. (AP) - The White House plans to honor a Michigan-based United Auto Workers member for his work in helping to create high-quality jobs in the United States.
Don LaForest is one of 15 individuals and businesses being recognized Thursday as Champions of Change.
The program was created as part of President Barack Obama's Winning the Future initiative. Each week, a different issue is highlighted, and groups of Champions are recognized for the work they're doing to better their communities.
LaForest has been a UAW member for 36 years and is the chairman of the union's bargaining committee at the General Motors Detroit-Hamtramck Assembly Plant, which produces the Chevrolet Volt.
The White House says he's responsible for negotiating changes to the local agreement that improved competitiveness and attracted nearly $500 million in investment.

Movie: Bible reveals what we want
Im often struck by the parts of the Bible various Christians choose to focus on. It seems to me that, whatever church they belong to, their focus reflects who they are.
Those who are loving focus on love and forgiveness; those who are critical and judgmental focus on passages that criticize and condemn, whether the criticism is of evildoers or (as it frequently was with Jesus radical ministry) of the powerful and self-satisfied.
Those who are peace-loving see the many references to peace, while those who are angry and vengeful focus on themes of retribution. It is no surprise to me that a man who, both as an actor and a director, has specialized in graphic portrayals of physical violence (e.g., the three Lethal Weapons films, Road Warrior, Mad Max, Braveheart) in other words, a man obsessed with violence has made an extremely violent and bloody film about the events of Holy Week.

No rating
GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
Yes, this school is strict, yes they have high expectations, but they do not expect more from a student than they believe they can achieve. It is not a specialty school for special needs children, though they do have several and do fantastic with them, they are a place to give good kids who took a wrong turn a new direction and they do a fabulous job with the resources they have to work with. Even when my child wasn't in the school I could call them up when I needed advice and/or help. They can only put out so much effort to help they child when they child and parents don't want to see improvement.
This is very disconcerning as an educator that this school is utilizing physical punishment as a consequence. Many of the students are placed in this setting due to emotional/behavioral issues. I think lawmakers should really take a look at where our tax money is going.. physical punishment or academics?? These youth deserve better!!!
I need to give this school a higher rating. The higher rating is based on the comments listed. Teaching the students their mistakes is the first step to learning from your mistakes. If you can learn from your mistakes you will go far in life. Doing physical training gives students that did not do well in traditional academics a chance to excel in something. The traditional school will not let students excel in physical unless they do well in academics so I believe it is a great thing. I am concerned with the comment from a parent that the school does not care if students do well in life but if the school is teaching these students to learn from their mistakes and letting them excel in things other than academics it seems they do care if students do well in life. All schools and students must meet certain standards but how they reach them is very different. I like the alternative school because it offers different ways to reach the goals. I have found most students in an alternative school learn best if they want to learn not if they are forced to learn. From the comments below it sounds like they want to learn!
new directions academy focuses on teaching the students their mistakes not acedemics most teachers here are good and they are respecting to the students when they are respected but im a student but i dont like it im just stating facts
this school doesnt care whether out students do well in life, this school solely exists as a cruel and unusual punishment that has no standards except to make our children angry.
this school is very unsatisfactory....the school worries more about doing physical training, than worrying about school work and learning!

A great question crossed my desk today from a customer. "Can a VI Admin who has root access to ESXi "abuse" their privileges and "peek" inside the guests of VM's hosted on the server?"
The short answer? If your ESXi admin has root or full administrator privileges, they can do anything. Nobody should be surprised by this! HOWEVER, you can mitigate, limit and monitor what is being done.
But first, let's quickly review what is meant by "peek inside the guest". In the human world, Continue reading

Margaret Thatcher was the most divisive and destructive Prime Minister of modern times.
Mass Unemployment, factory closures, communities destroyed – this is her legacy. She was a fighter and her enemy was the British working class. Her victories were aided by the politically corrupt leaders of the Labour Party and of many Trades Unions. It is because of policies begun by her that we are in this mess today.
Other prime ministers have followed her path, notably Tony Blair. She was the organ grinder, he was the monkey.
Remember she called Mandela a terrorist and took tea with the torturer and murderer Pinochet.
How should we honour her? Let's privatise her funeral. Put it out to competitive tender and accept the cheapest bid. It's what she would have wanted.

Those were such wonderful times to be a kid in.
You just like school on a Saturday.
No class!

@CPtheboss69 lol hahahahha XD your comment made my day!
You think you so slick you punkass, blasphemous, dope fiend bitch?
@zfan122 Let's not bring anything past the 90′s into this.
does anyone notice that one of the kids looks like a hoodie version of Shino from naruto XD
@Nanchee76 Only 'Bron can be LeBron, Nanchee. Kind of a shame not to be BORN in this era.
(sorry…that was just too easy.
@SmartGuy112233 Well sorry that this cartoon doesn't meet up with your low class, white trash, inbred expectations. Asshole
dumbest show ever. niggerz should be banned from makin cartoonz.
@Surebro0 no… if anything its quite the opposite… at the end of every episode they have a moral for kids to learn… and ive only seen it a couple times.
Actually, one of the kids, Rudy I think his name is, had an electric guitar (it didn't look like an acoustic). I recently read that Rudy was supposed to be the sort of rich kid.
Hey Hey Hey! It's FAT Albert… (how did those Junkyard Kids make thrown away box springs, old lamps, radiators, spoons, and such sound like wah-wah guitars?)
when me and my friends get high we sing this skipping down the road
Looooved this show in the 70′s! …..and I'm a WHITE CHICK!!!! Fat Albert was one of my favorite cartoons as a child. I hated Scoobie Dooo….Bill gonna tell you a thing or two!!! Ha Ha !!! Thanks for the post!!!
@sexycooljulesverne Lets see your comment again. "all i learned from this show is that black people come from landfills." Seems pretty racist to me.
no dude 40 people need to gain weight.
@bulbaman1 what did I say that makes me racist? also, why do you think the term black people means african american? also, what did I say implied that black people are unequal to other human breeds? also, what makes you think I am not black?
