Did you buy a ticket or two? Must admit we did. It's not a frequent thing for us and we had no idea
that it now costs $2 to play. When did that start? What are you going to do when you win? Fun to think about it, eh? Anyway, good luck to all who are playing. -j -------------------- It's always the batteries!

I believe that the $192 million is the lump sum amount. The larger number is based on a 30 year payout and includes accrued interest. Taxes are deducted from the $192 million. A good estimate for the net amount for a lump sum payment after taxes is about 30 %. A 100 million jackpot would yield you about $30 million cash after taxes. Still no small amount. Looks like that tax rate will soon be going up also.

In this Half Christmas (#HalfXmas) Stocking Stuffer clip, the guys enjoy the festive season of warmth and grill outside as they did on the very first Half Christmas.
The very first Half Christmas was probably like 2007? 2008???
Who was in the NBA Finals, that always helps me remember the year. Were we excited about seeing The Dark Knight, or that The Dark Knight was coming out in a year? Where did Goons live? I know we think he's been here forever, but he hasn't. Damn, this should be easy to remember. You want to order pizza?

Practical mod_perl / HTML Book / | ||||
22.1.4. RegistryLoader: Translation of uri [...] to filename failed |
Here's an example of the full error report that you might see:
RegistryLoader: Translation of uri [/home/httpd/perl/test.pl] to filename failed [tried: /home/httpd/docs/home/httpd/perl/test.pl]
In this example, this means you are trying to preload a script called /perl/test.pl, located at /home/httpd/perl/test.pl in the filesystem. This error shows up when Apache::RegistryLoader fails to translate the URI into the corresponding filesystem path. Most failures happen when a user passes a file path (such as /home/httpd/perl/test.pl) instead of a relative URI (such as /perl/test.pl).
You should either provide both the URI and the filename:
Apache::RegistryLoader->new->handler($uri, $filename);
or supply a callback subroutine that will perform the URI-to-filename conversion. The callback accepts the URI as an argument and returns a filename. For example, if your mod_perl scripts reside in /home/httpd/perl-scripts/ but the base URI is /perl/, you might do the following:
my $rl = Apache::RegistryLoader->new( trans => \&uri2filename); $rl->handler("/perl/test.pl"); sub uri2filename{ my $uri = shift; $uri =~ s:^/perl/:/perl-scripts/:; return Apache->server_root_relative($uri); }
Here, we initialize the Apache::RegistryLoader object with the uri2filename( ) function that will perform the URI-to-filename translation. In this function, we just adjust the URI and return the filename based on the location of the server root. So if the server root is /home/httpd/, the callback will return /home/httpd/perl-scripts/test.pl—exactly what we have requested.
For more information please refer to the Apache::RegistryLoader manpage.

Great Fit! Great Pants!
December 30, 2009
Great pants, Look and feel. Definitely cut for movement. Only complaint is they look almost navy blue. They feel very durable more so than any pant I have ever felt.
Rubicon Pants
December 06, 2010
Great pants! I would prefer them in bid form. Overall a great pant. I would recommend these to anyone who is looking for a multi-use pant.
Great Pants
November 28, 2011
These pants are super tough as well as waterproof. I haven't worn them in super cold temps yet but I think they will be perfect. My last Patagonia pants lasted 10+ seasons with at least 30 days a season, these seem like they will go even longer. They are a little on the baggy side if you want something very fitted.
Pros: Build quality, Lasts forever, PerformanceGreat pants, tough as nails and usefull pockets.
March 27, 2008
Just got back form a week in Jackson Hole Wy. The Rubicon pants ate up everything Jackson had to offer. Skied in every condition from blue bird sun to waist deep powder and everything in between. I love the pockets and how they are angled to be accessable when you are on the chair lift. Only negative is the size. I am a 32 waist and ordered the 32. I had to cinch up the waist tabs all the way to get a proper fit (glad that option was there or would have needed suspenders). Overall a great ski pant.
Great Pant
January 11, 2011
I'm 5'11 and 175 and pants fit great. Performed great in the elements and I have no complaints Good looking pants too!
Pros: Great design, Build qualityGreat backcountry pants
June 01, 2009
These pants are made with a super tough material that withstands snags and rips on even the burliest bushwhacks in the backcountry. The thigh vents are well designed for optimal heat shedding on those hot spring days and the waist tabs provide a superior fit so you don't need a belt or suspenders. Only downside I've encountered is the crouch of the pants tends to ride a little high. Other than that, I love them.
Great pants
June 30, 2007
Sturdy and high quality. I tend to go through ski pants quickly because my inside edge cuts the cuff of the opposite leg. These pants have really good protection against that. And they look and feel great.
Patagonia Rubicon Pants
February 01, 2012
Super heavy duty cordura style outer fabric that repels moisture and branches equally well. Generous fit with several pockets in useful locations. Great pants for those who spend a better part of the winter on the hill.
Pros: Build quality, Lasts foreverPerfect Balance
December 07, 2009
Best snowboarding pants I've used. Moderate insulation - handle cold days with just long underwear underneath. Not too bulky. More trim than a lot of "boarder" pants without being too snug.
Bomb Proof
January 17, 2011
The rubicon pants are built for durability. A little stiff out of the package but have broken in nicely. My old pants were acting like sponges so these are a nice change. Fit is true to size and are really not that baggy. Built for function not for style. Wish vents had mesh lining but not that big of a deal. At the sale price you can't go wrong!
Pros: Build quality, Lasts forever, Great valuePatagonia Men's Rubicon Pants Photo

Review of the Arc'teryx Atom LT Hoody by Daniel Wildey for The Epicentre
[ full story ] Related UKC Forum discussions
The Westcomb Spectre LT Hoody, in action. UKC Gear, Nov 2009 © Toby Archer The Westcomb Specter LT Hoody is a lightweight alpine-style shell jacket made out of eVent material. The people at Westcomb, based in a factory in Vancouver, used to be involved with Arc'teryx in the early days, and that heritage shows in a top level design, manufacturing technology and quality control, although there are plenty of new ideas � perhaps most importantly not using the global giant in outdoor fabrics, Gore, as their Canadian rivals rather slavishly do. Westcomb might be a tired of the comparison to Arc'teryx � particularly as there has been a legal dispute between the two firms � but, as for about the last six years my only shell jacket has been an Arc'teryx Paclite, it's very hard not for me not to compare the Specter to that jacket. The good news is that although my old shell has proven to be a great design and superb quality, so far the Specter seems to be its match. The Specter is a serious jacket that makes no real compromises to fashion. Firstly, it is very light at 300 grams. There are lighter shells available mainly made with Goretex Paclite, such as the Marmot Nano that I reviewed earlier this year, but the 300NR eVent that Westcomb uses simply feels far more durable than the thinner Paclite. Indeed, the tough feeling fabric makes you think that jacket should weigh more than it does. Instead, the Specter keeps its weight low through its minimalism: there is one small exterior chest pocket, another small interior one designed to hold an MP3 player and that is about it: no pit zips, no handwarmer pockets � you are going to have to stow your map or gloves somewhere else. I would have preferred the internal pocket to be on the different side to the exterior one: if you have your iPod inside and, for example, car keys in the outer pocket you get a noticeable lump. The Westcomb Spectre LT Hoody, hood detail, drawcord UKC Gear, Nov 2009 © Toby Archer The Hood The Specter's hood is big and easily takes a helmet. It has a stiffened peak that works very well to keep driving sleet out of your eyes, but can stick up and bump into the back of your head when the hood is slightly cinched but not on and the front zip fully done up. This can be vaguely annoying although no great trauma. Westcomb have gone for the more traditional fully integrated hood design than the style on my Arc'teryx � a stand-up collar that the hood is then attached to. This saves weight and is simple in design. I think the style of hood on the Specter is better when you are wearing it up in poor weather, providing more protection, but the other design wins when the hood is down, and indeed some other Westcomb shells use that solution. The Cut The cut of the jacket is reasonably slim: for me the size medium was perfect on things like sleeve length and around the midrift but very slightly too tight across the chest. This limits what I can wear under the jacket and I think also accounted for the jacket pulling up out of my harness once when I was ice climbing in it (the sleeve articulation is great, which is why I suspect it was the chest sizing that made the jacket lift). It may well be that the Westcomb fit favours those who are of a slim to medium body shape, rather than people who are medium to stocky around the chest and shoulders. Toby taking his Westcomb Specter For A (silent!) Walk in a Finnish Forest Detail The finishing on the Specter is of the highest order: micro taping; non-wicking fabric along the hem and inside the cuffs; soft micro fleece against your chin; sculpted cuffs with shaped Velcro adjusters on them; welding and gluing of seams to avoid needle holes that require more tape. The jacket's weight is clearly the product of the craftsmanship visible in the design and manufacture; as you might expect from the proud made in Canada label in the jacket's collar. I would just suggest that Westcomb could a be a little more proud of their own logo: on the jacket I tried it required a hunt to find it � the insignia is neatly embroidered in matt black thread on a black jacket! Clearly this is great if you are going for the Ninja look but I'm certainly vain enough to want my climbing partners to appreciate my hipsterdom... The Elephant In The Room.....and the lack of pit zips in the Specter could be seen as a sign of their faith in eVent This just leaves the elephant in the room undiscussed, the eVent fabric itself. Goretex saw off all its competitors in the 1990s and eVent is the first alternative to get real tractions against the Gore behemoth in a decade. It is believed by many to out-perform the best current form of Goretex, ProShell. Westcomb themselves highlight through their Facebook page some testing done in a US Army lab that tends to support this (it is hard to be categorical because different fabrics breath more or less effectively dependent on various atmospheric conditions) and the lack of pit zips in the Specter could be seen as a sign of their faith in eVent. With the exception of a pair RAB gloves, this is the first eVent garment I have tried so I was excited to see if eVent was all that it was cracked up to be. I am slightly disappointed to report that so far I'm not convinced I can detect any noticeable improvement over the modern Goretex jackets I have used. I've used the jacket for ice climbing, on my mountain bike and walking in wet, snowy conditions. For ice climbing and walking, the breathability worked great and stayed happily sweat free inside � but then I would expect the same from my old shell made of Goretex. On the bike, cycling reasonably slowly but through 10 cms of fresh snow, there was noticeable moisture inside the jacket after 20 minutes of pedalling. Again I wouldn't expect more from a Goretex shell, but so far eVent doesn't seem to me to yet be a viable alternative to a non-membrane softshell, or simple Pertex top, for this kind of use. Read more about eVent fabric at UKClimbing.com in this review by Tom Dixon: eVent Fabric More Later I will return to this review later in the winter after I've had chance to try the jacket more, but overall the Specter seems so far to be an excellently designed and made light shell. It was clearly conceived with climbers in mind due to the serious, helmet-ready hood. Due to its short cut and minimal features it wouldn't be my first choice for a primary winter climbing outer layer, but � sized appropriately � it would be perfect as either a in-the-pack-backup to a softshell for really foul weather or for summer alpine climbing. It is great to have Westcomb available in the UK as they look set to provide some real alternatives for serious climbers, and will keep both the domestic and non-British competition on their toes. Specter LT Hoody
The world's lightest 3 layer mountain shell. Compact minimalist shell for last minute total weather protection.

Barbra Streisand's self-absorbed remake of a 1958 French film stars Jeff Bridges as a college professor tired of sexual politics. He makes a deal with a dowdy colleague (Streisand) that they provide companionship for one another, with no thought of getting into bed. She agrees but soon becomes frustrated, the agreement only reinforcing her unfulfilled desire to have a complete relationship with a man. Mimi Rogers is on hand as Babs's striking sister, and Lauren Bacall received an Oscar nomination for her role as the heroine's selfish mother. The film is OK, but it becomes an irritating vanity piece for Streisand (who directed as well as stars). Her character constantly gazes upon her own reflection and is told at least a dozen times, one way or another, just how attractive she is. One wants to shout out, we get it already--you're pretty! The DVD release presents the film in both widescreen and pan and scan versions, plus a Dolby soundtrack. --Tom Keogh

U.S. Department of Education Awards more than $54 Million in Charter School Grants to States to Increase Public School Options
U.S. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan today announced the award of three charter school grants, totaling $54.8 million, to increase public school options in Minnesota, New Jersey and Massachusetts. Minnesota will receive a five-year grant and New Jersey and Massachusetts will each receive three-year grants, based on available funding, under the FY 2011 Charter Schools Program state educational agency (SEA) competition, which provides funds to states to create new high-quality charter schools and disseminate information about existing charters.
"High-quality charter schools have an important role to play in the overall strategy of successful school reform," said U.S. Secretary of Education, Arne Duncan. "These states have an opportunity to spread successful practices and expand effective public charter school choices for more students and parents."
The purpose of the Charter Schools Program is to increase financial support for these public schools, build a better national understanding of public charter schools, and increase the number of high-quality public charter schools across the nation. Altogether, the administration will invest $255 million in fiscal year 2012 through several grant programs administered by the Charter Schools Program to:
- support charter school efforts to find suitable facilities;
- disseminate information about successful charter school practices; and
- replicate and expand high-quality charter schools.
- help plan and implement public charter schools;
President Barack Obama's fiscal year 2013 budget request also includes $255 million to expand educational options by helping grow effective charter schools and other autonomous public schools that achieve positive results and give parents more choices.
More information about the Charter Schools Program is available from the Education Department's Office of Innovation and Improvement at: http://www2.ed.gov/about/offices/list/oii/csp/index.html.
FY12 SEA Charter School Grants:
Year 1 | Year 2 | Year 3 | Year 4 | Year 5 | Total | |
Minnesota | 2,441,900 | 5,501,900 | 6,762,316 | 6,762,316 | 6,762,316 | 28,230,747 |
New Jersey | 4,057,153 | 5,205,621 | 5,209,616 | 0 | 0 | 14,472,390 |

Media Agency Group - Out of Home International – Everything Out of Home In One Place
Out of Home International has unveiled an online video advert today (1st February 2012) to showcase Outdoor Advertising campaigns for their clients including: Bloomberg Businessweek, University of Bristol, Quick Quid, Penhaligon's London and National Rail.
Multiple Outdoor Advertising formats from OOH International's campaign portfolio feature in the video and range from traditional billboard and taxi advertising to interactive QR codes, beer mats and ATM advertising.
The 1.52 minute commercial bills the full service agency as 'Everything out of home in one place' and that they can find 'the right home for your brand'.
John Kehoe, Managing Director at Out of Home International advocated the commercials making and said, "It is always a pleasure to gift our clients with added value coverage whether that is through social media, press or online coverage. We wanted to make an advert which showcased the very best, diverse, multi format campaigns in which we have bought and planned for our clients which also showcases the talents of our in house Out of Home specialists".
The advert promotes Outdoor Advertising Environments most suited to each brand.
Bloomberg Businessweek takes over London City Airport through the use of digital screens in the airport atrium and departure lounges, and magazine sampling. The campaign targeted key business people and decision makers reaching the 222,362 passengers that used LCY Airport during the campaign. 41% of these passengers held the position of Chairman, MD, Director or Senior Manager with an average salary of £91,000.
Quick Quid promoted their '10 minute money' service through the use of beer mats in bars catering to a C1 audience who may be in need of the service on offer. The beer mats feature a QR code which takes the user to a mobile landing site where they are able to sign up.
Penhaligon's London has a full livery taxis campaign in Central London promoting their luxury, unique range of fragrances for women and men. The taxis are scented with the corresponding perfume to match the taxi livery and passengers are given a receipt spritzed with the perfume as a take home reminder.
The video provides insight to Outdoor Advertising with stats and figures relating to audiences and opportunity to see with Out Of Home International's branding featuring on Forrest's Manchester Piccadilly screen.
You can watch the video here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SSKQySsdI0w&feature=player_embedded#t=111s or on our homepage www.oohinternational.co.uk.

[Blu-ray Review] 'Haunting in Connecticut 2' is Terrible, Does Not Take Place in Georgia
Reviewed by Patrick Cooper
I hope you're sitting down, readers, because I have some bad news. The Haunting in Connecticut 2: Ghosts of Georgia does not take place in Connecticut at all. Nor is it about ghosts named Georgia. It takes place in the state of Georgia, which is often called the "Connecticut of the south," I think. The good news is that this will inevitably lead to a 50+ film franchise covering all of the states and the commonwealth of Puerto Rico. QVC could even sell a giant, collector's map of the U.S., like they did when the state quarters came out. That way fans could display their entire collection of The Haunting in Connecticut films, like Ghosts of North Dakota, which is often called the "Connecticut of the Dakotas," I think. Unfortunately, the idea of this many Haunting films is scarier than anything you'll find in Ghosts of Georgia. READ MORE

'A real disc of discovery: this is Schumann as he is seldom heard. In this final volume of his revelatory Schumann Songs series, Graham Johnson perceptively writes about, accompanies and presents still more rarities, in the voices of both loyal colleagues and of younger singers whom he keenly champions … Altogether touching and persuasive performances' (BBC Music Magazine)
'Every time a new instalment of Graham Johnson's complete Schumann song recording appears, I'm eager to lay my hands on it. Each one sheds new light on well-loved masterpieces and brings wonderful neglected songs back to light. The singers are shrewdly chosen to fit the character of the songs, the liner notes are a treasure-trove of learning and insight, and Johnson's wonderful playing illuminates every song' (The Daily Telegraph)
'This is the final instalment of Hyperion's complete edition of Schumann's songs, the brainchild of pianist Graham Johnson, who has overseen and prepared the series with great erudition and care … The best songs are also the most disturbing: Der Einsiedler expresses an almost Mahlerian longing for the freedom from human strife that only solitude can bring … Johnson himself is faultless, as always' (The Guardian)
'This disc goes far to vindicating some of Schumann's least-favoured late songs, not least due to Graham Johnson's eloquent advocacy, in print and in performance' (Gramophone)
Graham Johnson's monumental and triumphant complete Schumann Songs edition comes to an end with an eleventh disc of rarities and delights. The first issue in the Hyperion edition of Schuman's songs, with the soprano Christine Schäfer, included a number of the composer's later lieder, and with this last issue we come full circle in returning to some of the least known songs—music seldom heard on the concert platform. Hanno Müller-Brachmann appears in his debut recording for Hyperion. As well as a devoted lieder singer who has performed with some of the greatest pianists, he is also a considerable presence on the world's opera stages and an acclaimed interpreter of Bach's Passions. He brings all these qualities to this fascinating disc. Various duets and ensemble pieces are included on this disc and feature familiar and well-loved singers from elsewhere in this series, as well as the winner of the 2008 Kathleen Ferrier Prize: Katherine Broderick. The release is complemented by Graham Johnson's renowned booklet notes, which make these discs things of such inestimable value. |

Schumann: The Complete Songs, Vol. 5 – Christopher Maltman
Archive Service
The first issue in the Hyperion edition of Schumanns songs, with the soprano Christine Schäfer, included a number of the composers later lieder, and with this last issue we come full circle in returning to some of the least known songsmusic seldom heard on the concert platform. In fact a number of the other discs also broached the later songs: Simon Keenlyside had the Kerner songs Op 35 (1840) as the central work on his disc (Volume 2) but he also sang Op 117; alongside Frauenliebe und -leben Op 42 Juliane Banse (Volume 3) sang the Elisabeth Kulmann songs Op 104 and the Maria Stuart Lieder Op 135, and so on. As the series went on, a number of the recordings presented a mixture of Schumannian styles by alternating the famous songs of 1840 with music from 1849 or later. Volume 8 presented Schumanns earliest songs (composed in 1827) as well as some of the fragments. Two discs in the series were given over to single substantial works, shared cycles both: Ian Bostridge and Dorothea Röschman shared the Myrten songs Op 25 (Volume 7) and Felicity Lott and Ann Murray the Lieder-Album für die Jugend Op 79 (Volume 9). For one of the discs, Volume 5 with Christopher Maltman, the focus was on settings by a single poet, Heinrich Heine, including Dichterliebe.
The programme of this final disc leads off with five songs to poems by Wilfried von der Neun. These, and settings by the enigmatic and unidentified J. B. (Resignation), Moritz von Strachwitz (Mein altes Roß), Ludwig Uhland (two songs from Des Sängers Fluch) and Friedrich von Schillers ballad Der Handschuh were all composed in 1850 or later. At the centre of the disc is a performance of the cycle Minnespiel Op 101 for four voicesan 1849 work to poems by Friedrich Rückert. And there is also the last of the 1840 cycles recorded for the seriesthe Robert Reinick cycle Sechs Gedichte aus dem Liederbuch eines Malers (Six Poems from the Songbook of a Painter). Of all the cycles from this year by poets like Heine, Eichendorff, Chamisso and Kerner, this is perhaps the least known and least often performed. This is the only work on this disc that was composed in Leipzig; thus the main focus of this programme is on the songs composed in the later Dresden period and in the Düsseldorf yearsthe period when Robert Schumann came face-to-face with the drastic (and uncomfortable for him) changes that were sweeping through German music, and when he attempted to keep up with these musical developments in his own way. At the same time he was coping with deteriorating health; another factor was that although his marriage was already legendary in historical terms it was stressful for both partners in day-to-day reality. There are those who argue that there was a sharp nose-dive in the quality of Schumanns compositions at this time. Eric Sams put it thus: It is as if Schumanns hand had acquired a new cunning and his mind had lost an old one. Nearly forty years after Sams penned this observation a great deal more of the music of Schumanns final period is performed on a regular basis and it is increasingly appreciated in its own right; Samss remark now seems unfairor at least a sweeping generalization. Works such as the Cello Concerto and the Third (Rhenish) Symphony are contemporary with the von der Neun songs and prove that the composer was anything but a busted flush in 1850. Schumann was acutely aware that time could not stand still in the making of music and he was surrounded by evidence to this effect on every side, particularly concerning the rising stars of Wagner and Liszt. Wagner had been music director in Dresden (he had been scathing regarding the libretto to Schumanns ill-starred opera Genoveva) and had taken an active part in the abortive revolution of May 1849; unlike the more timid Schumann who hedged his bets and was not to be seen manning the barricades, Wagner had to flee the city. He had already composed Der fliegende Holländer and Tannhäuser and Schumann had heard both these works and composed his own Genoveva as a kind of disorganized riposte. Lohengrin was to be performed in Weimar later in 1850. The Wagner opera was a triumph, the Schumann (performed in Leipzig in June 1850) a critical disaster. There is no doubt that Wagner, and his chance proximity in Dresden, were enormously influential on Schumanns developmentfor better or for worse. But it would surely have been greater evidence of a diseased mind if Schumann had attempted to ignore the new developments in the outside world and continued writing in his old style (as his fans, including many of his modern ones, might have wished). Schumann had always been an avant-garde experimenterwe tend to forget this about the works of 1840; he seems to have gone on believing in change, and that a new kind of music was necessary for a new age. His final period is largely a struggle to find and perfect that new language. In retrospect any attempt to challenge Wagners vision and offer an alternative might seem comically doomed, but Schumann seems to have believed that this was both possible and necessary. The answer was not to dig in ones heels in a reactionary manner and insist that the old ways were best; it seemed necessary to find an alternative to Wagners style that could match and outdo him. The search was on for a style that clearly incorporated some of Wagners discoveries whilst preserving aspects of the classical tradition that was far too important to be swept away with an arrogant wave of the hand. (This is surely to define the later lifelong role of Johannes Brahms.) That the success of Schumanns search was undermined by various factors, including his health, is certainly a matter for serious discussionbut the abandonment of the old ways of writing songs is clearly the result of a conscious choice rather than a straightforward failure or waning of inspiration. An exact parallel with this phase of Schumanns life is the third period of Gabriel Fauré (from 1906), where the French composer found a way of his own to enter the twentieth century without becoming either a Debussyist or a Stravinskian. There are many admirers of Faurés earlier songs who find the late phase of La chanson dÈve and Le jardin clos a disappointing musical development, a pitiful diminuendo of achievement; however enthusiasts have long believed that these late cycles contain the deepest and most remarkable of the composers achievements in the genre. Fauré was suffering from tinnitus and increasing deafness; it was once acceptable to ascribe the perplexing change of his style to his illness. The comparisons with Schumann are obvious, if far from exact. No one has claimed as yet, so far as I know, that the music of Schumanns later years is superior to the earlier. One way of looking at the late songs (at the von der Neun lieder, for example) might identify the composer as inept and musically exhausted; another is to see him as honourably ambitious (even if somewhat misguided), no longer content with the old way of doing things and prepared to break the mould of anything he had achieved earlier in the interests of finding a new and viable musical language. The weight of new research and analysis now gives greater credence to the latter of these viewpoints. And yet mention must be made of one of the more insidious aspects of Wagners influencethe Wagner for whom no living poet (apart from Mathilde Wesendonck perhaps) was a sufficiently interesting and gifted collaborator. It would not have been lost on Schumann that all of Wagners libretti were his own work. The concept of a collaboration between the composer and someone else of genius (a poet such as Eichendorff, Heine or Goethe) had been thoroughly downgraded by Wagners example and probably no longer seemed desirable; in fact such partnership might no longer have seemed to be a sine qua non of song composition. On the other hand it seems impossible to believe that Schumann failed to understand how important it had been in his earlier career that the quality of the poems he had chosen (with great literary acumen) had contributed greatly to his songs success. The whole downward trend in the composers choices of text in his later songs (with obscure poets such as Wilfried von der Neun, Elisabeth Kulmann, Gustav Pfarrius, Ferdinand Braun, Julius Buddeus, Oskar Wolff) is such as to make us believe that Schumann was, perhaps unconsciously, searching for understated mediocrity rather than the stronger flavour of an artistic equal. Schumann perhaps began to look for more anodyne texts that would not get in the way of something far more importanthis newly developing musical experiments, such as they were. If the subject matter of a poem was interesting it mattered less to him that the technical accomplishment of the poetry was inferior. The lesser known the poet, the more it would appear that the composer had written the song on his own initiative. Without realizing it Schumann was beginning to adopt Wagnerian attitudes; one is also reminded that a composer like Mahler (also influenced by Wagner, of course) was deliberately uninterested in his great contemporaries for his songs (Rilke, for example), preferring the folk poetry of Des Knaben Wunderhorn, the (by then) outmoded Rückert, and the frankly inferior Richard Leander. In the case of the Wunderhorn poems Mahler took it as his right to adapt and change the texts as necessary. The idea of a composer actually serving the poet (as opposed to finding a poet who would serve his needs) was to re-emerge with a vengeance only in the lieder of Hugo Wolf. Although this observation may seem unfair to Johannes Brahms (some of whose songs serve the poet with consummate care), the fact remains that Brahms regarded many of his songs as entries in a confessional diary and often selected his texts according to how their content chimed with his own emotional circumstances. In Wolf we find a composer prepared to set a poem not because of its subjective resonances but rather because it is a fine piece of literature. Robert Schumann was also capable of this kind of objective judgement in 1840, but in truth he was always probably at his song-writing best when his music was related to life, and to his love for Clara Wieck in particular. The change of direction in his song-writing may be attributable partly to the mundane circumstances of stressful married life, a phase infinitely less romantic than those last bachelor years when he believed himself to be standing on the borders of nuptial bliss, a bliss imagined and prefigured in song. After this indescribable high, the advent of reality and everyday life must have seemed comparatively bleak and disappointing. Graham Johnson © 2009 |
