St. Vladimir's 2014 Orthodox Education Day is October 4
[SVOTS Communications/Yonkers, NY] St. Vladimir's Orthodox Theological Seminary, Yonkers, NY, has chosen as its theme for Orthodox Education Day 2014, "Do Books Still Matter? A Celebration of Orthodox Christian Publications." This year's traditional open house will be held Saturday, October 4, and will pay tribute to the importance of Orthodox Christian authors, illustrators, and publishing houses throughout the world.
The dean of the seminary, The Very Rev. Dr. John Behr, author of academic, popular, and spiritual works, will be the keynote speaker. The seminary's own publishing house, St. Vladimir's Seminary Press (SVS Press), will receive special recognition on reaching its 50th Anniversary and will invite many other Orthodox Christian publishers onto campus to help it mark the occasion.
Ancient Faith Publishing Wins Book Award
Ancient Faith Publishing, the publishing arm of the Antiochian Archdiocese department Ancient Faith Ministries, announced on June 25, 2014 that their 2013 release A Patristic Treasury has won the prestigious Word Guild award for the "Inspirational/Devotional" category. Authored by patristic scholar James Payton, the book discusses patristic passages that are "devotionally stimulating, doctrinally thought-provoking, or epigrammatically striking...." Payton is professor of History at Redeemer University College in Ancaster, Ontario, where he teaches Eastern European History, Orthodoxy, and Patristics.
The Word Guild is a professional association consisting of some 325 Canadian Christian writers, editors, speakers, publishers, booksellers, librarians and other interested individuals.

Spotlight: Educational Opportunities at Balamand Seminary
His Grace Bishop Thomas, Diocese of Charleston, Oakland and the Mid-Atlantic, encourages the faithful of the Antiochian Orthodox Christian Archdiocese of North America to explore the possibilities of the educational opportunities that exist at the Balamand Seminary and the University of Balamand. "This is a multi-purpose institution," notes His Grace. "Here are some links that you and your high school and college students might want to take a look at. I was very impressed when I visited the University. In addition to Theology, there are a number of areas that can be studied the Balamand. The links that are provided here will familiarize you with everything the University has to offer.
Memory Eternal! + Fr. Robert James Bethony

Vicar General for the Antiochian Archdiocese The Very Rev. Thomas Zain was interviewed by Ancient Faith Radio immediately following the vote, announcing that the Special Convention has nominated the following (in alphabetical order): The Right Rev. Bishop Basil, Diocese of Wichita and Mid-America; The Right Rev. Bishop John, Diocese of Worcester and New England; and The Most Rev. Archbishop Joseph, Diocese of Los Angeles and the West and Locum Tenens for the Diocese of Eagle River and the Northwest.

AFR Interview: Priest Ministers in the Midst of Isla Vista, CA Tragedy
On May 29, 2014, Ancient Faith Radio (AFR) released a podcast in their "Ancient Faith Presents" series titled "Tragedy in Isla Vista, California." The program features Antiochian priest Fr. John Finley in an interview he conducted with fellow clergy member Archpriest Jon-Stephen Hedges. Father Jon directs the St. Brigid Fellowship, a ministry started by St. Athanasius Orthodox Church, an Antiochian parish in Santa Barbara, CA. He is also a chaplain with the Santa Barbara County Sheriff's Department, and in the interview Fr. Jon discusses with Fr. John Finley his role on the scene at the sites of the recent string of murders in Isla Vista, California.
"We Christians are amphibians-that is, we live in two kingdoms," notes Fr. Jon. "Sometimes we would like to stay in the altar...but when we go forth, we go forth with the scent of heaven. We don't go forth for the privileged or for those who are strong and well. We go forth for those who are broken."
Jerusalem Meeting of Patriarch Bartholomew and Pope Francis
On Sunday, May 25, 2014, Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew and Pope Francis will convene at the Church of the Holy Sepulcher in Jerusalem to commemorate a meeting in the Holy Land held fifty years ago by their predecessors, Ecumenical Patriarch Athenagoras and Pope Paul VI.
The Assembly of Canonical Orthodox Bishops of the United States of America's Website published a joint statement issued by Assembly Chairman Archbishop Demetrios and Archbishop Joseph E. Kurtz, president of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops. "We not only express our appreciation of the work of our North American dialogue, but also our joy that our Churches have increasingly been able to speak with one voice on the pressing issues that our society faces today ... we call our people to pray for the success of the upcoming meeting between Pope Francis and Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew in Jerusalem for the glory of God and the promotion of Christianity in our wounded world."
The Apostolic Pilgrimage to Jerusalem Website offers further resources, including photo and video galleries, archival and biographical information for the Pope and Patriarch, and access to a live broadcast of the Prayer Service of Thanksgiving to be offered on May 25.

Participants with experience in youth ministry and catechism are urged to apply. Conversational Spanish-speaking ability is recommended.

The trove of colorful, age-appropriate reading materials will benefit thousands of schoolchildren participating in after-school enrichment opportunities, mentoring and summer learning programs in the Chicago area. The leaders were joined by wide-eyed youngsters from some of the city's most impoverished Southside neighborhoods who were grateful beneficiaries.

AFR and Orthodox Christian Prison Ministry Coordinate Project for Prisoners
In partnership with Orthodox Christian Prison Ministry (OCPM), Ancient Faith Radio is bringing back the paperback edition of the Orthodox Study Bible New Testament and Psalms. This Bible, which has been out of print for two years, is in high demand among those who prefer a more affordable Orthodox Study Bible and those who serve America's prison population, because the majority of state and federal prisons will not allow inmates to have hardback books/Bibles.
"Recently, OCPM was only able to send 231 Bibles to those in prison because we were out of stock, yet our demand was much greater" said Chaplain Patrick Tutella, Executive Director of OCPM.
Metropolitan Silouan Visits St. Mary's Church in Hunt Valley, MD
On Saturday May 3, 2014, His Eminence Metropolitan Silouan of Buenos Aires and all Argentina, Patriarchal Vicar for the Archdiocese, visited St. Mary Antiochian Orthodox Church in Hunt Valley, MD. Deacon Michael Bishop filed a report and a photo gallery to commemorate the eventful day.
When I first received an invitation to meet Metropolitan Silouan, I did not act because of the traveling requirement. Then I heard that he was coming to St. Mary's Orthodox Church, which is a manageable distance from where I live.
When I arrived at the church and went in the Altar, I was immediately introduced to His Eminence Metropolitan Silouan, whom I found to be a very warm and friendly hierarch. My first impression was that he was the bishop's deacon, especially since I saw Bishop Nicholas there and I did not know that another bishop was also coming. Subdeacon Basil also had the same impression and the three of us had a laugh over this when he told us later....I'm pointing this out because many of our bishops are models of humility. They are very approachable and real spiritual fathers. Both the metropolitan and the bishop were very friendly.
Sunday of the Myrrh-Bearing Women
Hear the voice of gladness, O women; for I have trodden down rebellious Hades, and raised the world from corruption. Wherefore, hasten ye and proclaim the glad tidings to My beloved; for I desire that joy shall break forth thence upon My creation, whence first came forth sorrow.
--Orthros of the Feast, Tone 2
On this day, the third Sunday of Pascha, we celebrate the feast of the holy Myrrh-bearing women. And we also make commemoration of Joseph of Arimathea, who was a secret disciple, and Nicodemus, who was a disciple by night.
The women disciples bring myrrh unto Christ;
And I bring a hymn as it were myrrh unto them.
Blessed Name's Day to Metropolitan Joseph!
We extend our prayers and love to His Eminence Metropolitan Joseph on the occasion of his Name's Day on May 4, 2014 (St. Joseph of Arimathea, Second Sunday after Pascha). May God grant him many years!

Metropolitan Silouan Visits St. George Cathedral for Patronal Feast
On April 26-27, 2014, St. George Cathedral of Coral Gables, Florida, welcomed the Patriarchal Vicar His Eminence Metropolitan Silouan for the Blessed Feast Day of St. George, the patron of the community.
His Eminence arrived at Miami International Airport late on Friday night, April 25th, and was welcomed by Fr. Saba, Archdeacon David, and a dozen members of the Parish Council and community. After exchanging greetings at the airport, all enjoyed a nice dinner and a warm conversation at a nearby restaurant.
On Saturday April 26th, the bells rang in jubilation at the arrival of our beloved Patriarchal Vicar along with His Grace Bishop Antoun. The Cathedral was beautifully adorned in red and white satin streams and multi-colored flowers in reverence of this momentous and historic occasion.
Metropolitan Silouan Visits the Diocese of Wichita
His Grace Bishop Basil reports:
On the Feast of the Holy Greatmartyr George, Bright Wednesday, April 23rd, The Most Rev. Metropolitan Silouan of Buenos Aires and all Argentina and Patriarchal Vicar for our Archdiocese of North America, visited the Diocese of Wichita and Mid-America (DOWAMA) for the patronal feast of our Diocesan Cathedral of St. George, and to bless DOWAMA's newly-acquired St. Silouan Monastery House.
Upon His Eminence's arrival to Wichita (straight from Buenos Aires!) he was feted at a luncheon hosted at the Wichita Chancery and attended by the priests and deacons of Wichita's three parishes: St. George Cathedral, St. Mary Church, and St. Michael Church. A large number of clergy and laity were at the Cathedral to receive His Eminence when he arrived for Paschal Vespers that evening. They were moved by his homily following the service and enchanted by his remarks and the open dialogue that he encouraged during a paschal repast in the Cathedral's fellowship hall.

up where McGehee left off—even if he could never really prepare for such a transition.
Fortnightly: You took the reins of Progress Energy under tragic circumstances. What have been your biggest challenges since then, and what are your biggest opportunities?
Johnson: We lost a great friend and great leader in Bob McGehee. It was a shock for the entire company and frankly we're not over it yet. It happened at a difficult time, a time of rising costs in the industry, and the climate-change debate. But I can't say enough about how the people at Progress Energy have stepped up to the challenge. I'm really pleased with that. We've continued to do our strategic planning and thinking.
We see our basic job as securing the energy future for our customers. But the expectations are changing, and we see our challenge as doing that in an affordable and secure way. That's our biggest opportunity as well.
Fortnightly: Progress Energy's customer base is growing. What's your resource planning strategy? How do various energy sources fit into these plans?
Johnson: We're pursuing a balanced approach that includes a strong emphasis on energy efficiency, investments in renewable energy and state-of-the-art power plants. We have a mix of generation resources that includes nuclear, coal, natural gas, oil and hydroelectric power. We'll continue to leverage all these fuel sources in meeting growing needs, and we'll incorporate cost-effective renewable energy into the mix as well.
Fortnightly: What do you mean by "state-of-the-art" power plants?
Johnson: In general we mean when we're in a position to build new plants, we'll apply state-of-the-art, advanced technology that's available at the time, the most efficient and environmentally sound technology. At the moment that essentially means new nuclear or natural gas.
In our state, building new coal is really not an option, and there isn't advanced state-of-the-art technology in coal at the moment. For the near term, we're investing in incremental intermediate and peaking generation fueled primarily by natural gas. Our longer-term need includes base load generation, and we're taking steps to ensure that nuclear remains viable and available. We're also investing more than $2.5 billion in emission retrofits on our existing coal-fired fleet, and we're looking at options for repowering some older fossil-fueled units.
Fortnightly: You mentioned renewables. Few utilities see it as a primary resource, but instead as a sort of green cover. What about Progress Energy? Will renewables be only the icing, or is it a real part of the cake?
Johnson: It's a little too soon to give a definitive answer on the ultimate role of renewables. We have a requirement in North Carolina to have 12.5 percent of our energy be renewables and efficiency by 2021. We intend to meet that legislative standard.
We recently went into the market to see what's available in the Carolinas and Florida, and in our first solicitation in the Carolinas we got a little more than 700 MW. A lot of that is intermittent, with the exception of some biomass, and some of the biomass projects are counting the same fuel source. So

Post subject: Upcoming battle...
This Friday I'm planning on a SFB get-together. My hope is to develop a core group of players such as I've seen mentioned here. I'm hoping for between 3-7 people showing up, so far its looking promising for a good turn out. Besides me, one player has some previous experience (probably a few games under his belt), one player has one game under his belt and the rest have never played.
Looking to keep the first game simple. Nothing fancy planned. I'm planning on having a cruiser (probably heavy) for each race available for everyone to take a look at prior to the game. They can choose which one takes their fancy. If more than one person wants the same type that is fine. Then simply making it a 'free-for-all' just to get their feet wet with the basic rules. This way they get a feel for the basics such as how to do the EA form, moving around, firing, taking damage etc.
I've made a cheat sheet on some basics such as weapons i.e. how many turns to arm, how much energy to charge and/or overload etc. I'd like to throw in how to HET perhaps???
Not sure if I should throw in the various shuttle roles i.e. SS, WW, SP on the first game???
Any thoughts or suggestions for the first game would be cheerfully accepted from your experience.
I plan on using the Klingon D6 or D7 myself because, well...its the best in the game
In all seriousness though, it doesn't matter and I'm more interested in them getting a good feel for the game than I am winning. And to be honest, I'm not going to try excessively hard to win because I'd like everyone to really get a good feel for the game and want to make this something they would like to get together and do often. So I see my role as helping each one (the best that I can) in commanding their own ships, even if it is against my own.
So that is the plan. Comments welcome

Well we had a blast. There were three of us that made it. One had the Fed CA, the other a Lyran CA and I had a Klingon D6. As I mentioned above, I felt my role was more teaching on this game as it was game one for one of them and the second for the other.
The game went 10 turns! We started at 7pm and finished up at 2:30am. We took our time with everything and at certain points I gave them my input as to what they might want to consider (even if it was against my own ship), they were free to choose their course though. They both did very well. In the end, my D6 was completely destroyed (excess damage was filled plus one). Funny thing is that they were both one hex away when I blew up and took some damage (they both ended up teaming up against me). I had blasted down the Lyrans shield and inflicted some good damage prior to being ripped apart, so after I was gone the Fed turned on the Lyran and he ended up blowing up as well (excess damage plus one).
We all had a great time and looks like we'll be getting together again, maybe in a couple of weeks or so. This time the plan is for them to have a Fed Ca, the other wants to try a Romulan CA. I'm going to make a switch and try the Hydrans to get some experience with them.
Looking forward to it because it will be...'no more Mr. Nice Guy'.

It is a Heavy Cruiser designate the 'Fire Eagle'. Got it from another website (hope that is ok to mention, just really liked the look of it). Has 2xplasma S, 2xplasma F, 5xPh-1 and 3xPh-1. The other stuff is pretty much equivlent to other races CA's. One of my neighbors wants to try it out (the one that was the Lyran last time). Might get a few more players next game, so I'm leaning on sticking with the Klingons...D7.

We got together again tonight and played. One player was the same as last time so this is his third game total, one was brand new. Had hoped for two more but canceled at the last minute, maybe next time.
Returning player had his normal Fed CA which is his third time out with it. He likes it and is really getting it down pat. New guy wanted to be the Klingons so I gave him the ship I was going to use with my blessings which was a D7. This gave me a chance to use a ship/race I'd never used, the ISC light cruiser with two PPD's.
We added shuttles and a few new rules like TAC's. We started off about 30 hexes from each other. For the first two turns I had speed zero and just TAC'ed. This gave me the opportunity to work with the new guy one-on-one without getting to much into the fray of things. Well...both headed right for me of course
All I can say is I like the PPD. Fed got to range 10 so I fired both and I hit for 7 out of the 8 pulses (3 on the first and all 4 of the second). That ripped down his #1 shield and weakened #2 and #6. He returned the favor and hit me with 3 out of 4 OL photons so after the shield reinforcement he got some internals on me. Nothing drastic but several power and a phaser. The Klingon took some distance shots to little effect on me on a different shield. I launched a plasma F at each and when I started moving headed away for repair/recharge.
Well they regrouped and started coming towards me from about half the board away when the Klingon realized how close he actually was to the Fed...so he bushwacked him! They exchanged fire over a couple of turns at knife fighting distance. The Klingon came out worse as he mistimed is movements and his disruptors went out of arc. The Fed was hitting 3 out of 4 OL photons the whole game. So while I recharged and came around the Fed had taken a small number of internals but all his shields were shot up. The Klingon still had 4 good shields but two were blown away and he had pretty heavy damage. They separated with the Klingon running away at slow speed. Then I came in withe the PPD's again and hit the Fed with both on the first role for each. That damaged him pretty heavily. Once again, he returned the favor with 3 out of 4 phtoton shots, luckily on a fresh shield with reinforcements. I still took moderate internals losing some more power and phasers and a couple of plasmas which I managed to get off at him that he couldn't stop (out of shuttles and phasers had all fired). This gutted him ( he would probably have won if the Klingon hadn't turned on him). I then ran down the Klingon on his down shield and introduced him to 5 Ph-1's which sealed the deal.
So after 9 turns of play I managed to limp away the winner, yay me

The theme of the Allemande appears for the first time, rather unusually, in the bass. Taken up by the right hand, it is then swapped back and forth between the hands. After the double bar it is inverted, but then returns to its original form before the end. Bach flaunted his disregard for the rules and wrote a pair of consecutive octaves going into bar 11 that must have shocked his students! The Courante is rhythmically complex, with one passage in the first section sounding as though we are suddenly in 4/4 time rather than 3/2. The Sarabande is truly magical and must be one of his most inspired examples of this dance. The pedal point at the beginning lasts a full seven bars, and requires some repetition of the low G if it is to continue sounding. There are swift changes of key, and enharmonic progressions over a second pedal point that add to its beauty. As in the second suite, Bach gives us fully written-out 'agréments' which this time I like to play after a full, repeated version of the original dance. That way it somehow seems like a distant 'echo' of what has come before, yet even more wondrous and expressive.
The two Gavottes are well known—probably the best known movements in all the English suites. The first makes you think of Rameau's famous Tambourin with the insistent, drum-like repeated Gs in the bass. The second is a musette in the major key which has a tender, almost lullaby-ish character. It is always preferable, I think, to play the pair of galanteries at the same speed, so this second gavotte prevents you from taking the first one too fast. The Gigue is in fact a three-part fugue of great difficulty which needs clarity, precision, and a sense of line to be effective. This is definitely one movement in which the constant 'hammering and rattling' that Forkel talks about can be most distressing!

If they were to add perma-death/player looting to PvP servers, they would have to give everybody a free transfer and guild transfer off the server or I think they would hemorrage subs. I think the market for that kind of experience in WoW is really low, so low that the realm population would be neglegibly small and the idea would collapse.
The players would like the "loot another guy's items" until it happened to themselves. If it applied to items, then only PvP items. you can always go back and farm up a pvp item again. You could have been waiting for a year for a PvE item to drop, you get it, then some guy kills you and he takes that item the next day...I don't think that's not going to swing with the players.

WWE star Bray Wyatt broke character on Twitter to respond to a question from Tara about one of his tattoos.
It looks like the departure of JoJo Offerman from the second season of Total Divas has been confirmed, as the press releases for the show are not making any mentions of the young WWE diva. The media is simply stating that Summer Rae is joining the cast.
While she has been rumored to be removed from the upcoming and second season of Total Divas, WWE is not planning on releasing JoJo Offerman any time soon. The belief is that she is still pretty young, so management will give her more time in developmental.
"Rest in peace, Mae Young. You're truly an inspiration to us all. It was an honor to have met you. You will be missed."
There is some backstage heat towards JoJo at the moment, with one source stating that she is actully on thin ice with WWE. The company opted to take focus away from her on Total Divas, and she's missed several episodes of Monday Night Raw.
Jo Jo Offerman, who was once romantically linked to Randy Orton, now has a new boyfriend. She posted a picture of him on Twitter recently and stated that he was the best boyfriend that a girl could ask for.
The seven girls of Total Divas were able to beat the other WWE divas in a traditional Survivor Series match. Natalya and Nikki Bella were the last two standing in the ring at the end.
JoJo Offerman, the developmental diva featured on Total Divas, made her official in ring debut for WWE at an NXT show over the weekend.
JoJo Offerman reveals that she received some training from former WWE diva Mickie James.

US elections: abortion in the spotlight
The US presidential campaign heats up following Republican Todd Akin's remark that women have natural defences to prevent pregnancy in cases of what he called "legitimate rape". Also in the US, drought in the Midwest causes food prices to soar and forces farmers to sell off their cattle. Finally, while Ecuador has offered political asylum to Julian Assange, some civil rights groups claim the country's own freedom of speech laws could do with a shake-up.

We are not currently hiring for this position, however we're always interested in meeting awesome graphic designers in the DC area. If you'd like to work with us someday, please send us your resume and portfolio!
About Us
We're a close knit group of designers doing award winning work in a fun, laid back environment. We're a full service branding studio, meaning we do a bit of everything: branding, marketing, web design, print design, packaging, promotional pieces, environmental design, etc. Our clients include everyone from local favorites like Taylor Gourmet and the SEED Foundation to national and international organizations like the World Bank, AIGA and more.
About you
We're looking for an entry level designer to join our crew. You should have a solid understanding of design principles and theory and a strong portfolio to prove it.

We want you to grow with the studio and to become an integral part of the ripe hive mind, we don't just want to squeeze the most work out of you we can.
That being said, we are incredibly busy all the time, so having a strong work ethic is vital. At ripe you'll be doing a bit of everything and will be working on nearly every project that comes through the studio. We don't really have job descriptions or distinct print/interactive positions, so you'll be expected to work in a wide range of mediums.
Necessary Skills
- A strong grounding in design principle and theory (which should be reflected in your portfolio)
- Basic experience with HTML and CSS. (The more interactive experience you have the better!)
- Adobe Creative Suite and OS X experience
- Ability to work as part of a team and to take direction
- Desire to constantly improve how you/we work
- Be up to date with best practices, new technologies, design trends, etc.
- Good organizational and communication skills
- BA in design or related art field (or just be really awesome)
How to Apply
- Submit your resume and cover letter to createwithus [at] ripe [dot] com
- You MUST include a digital portfolio with no less than 3 samples of past work. Can be as simple as a PDF or as complex as a full portfolio web site.
- Provide brief descriptions of your involvement for each project
- No phone calls please
- Make sure you follow these steps! We tend to ignore people who don't.
- For added points: What is your favorite typeface and why? (Psst... This is how we tell who reads directions!)
No phone calls please, we're really busy! If you have questions feel free to email us or hit us up on Twitter @ripe.

He had long encouraged Clara to turn to the composition of lieder. On 13 March 1840 he had written to his fiancée: 'Why not write a song! Once you've begun you just can't stop. It is simply too tempting.'. In reply Clara was less optimistic: 'I can't compose. It makes me very sad at times, but it is really impossible. I have no talent for it. But don't think that that is because of laziness. A song, you say. No, I simply cannot. In order to write a song, to comprehend a text completely, this requires intelligence.' Robert knew his bride-to-be was very intelligent, and he did not give up. A month after their marriage (in October 1840) he encouraged her to set a text by Robert Burns, but to no avail. It was only in December 1840 that she decided to surprise him with a Christmas present of three songs, one setting of Burns (perhaps the same one suggested earlier in the year) and two by Heine (these songs will be heard in a later volume of this series). Clara's own estimation of these works ('naturally of no value … only very feeble attempts …') was not shared by her enthusiastic husband: 'I was delighted by the three songs, in which she gushes like a girl and is much more compositionally precise than before. We now have the clever idea of interspersing them with some of mine and having them printed.'
As it turned out, these Christmas songs were not included in the shared venture. Instead Schumann decided to return to a favourite source, Ruckert's Liebesfrühling, to find texts for a completely new cycle. He was so enthused with this idea that he had completed nine songs within a week (Monday 4th to Monday 11th January 1841). In the marriage diaries (where it was usual for the pair to post messages, sometimes concerning issues where it was judged more tactful not to confront each other face-to-face) he urged Clara to so the same – 'Now Clara should also compose a few from the Liebesfrühling. Oh, do it, Klärchen!' In the same entry however, he writes of Clara being in pain as a result of her first pregnancy ('Clara has had to suffer a great deal – from pain, which she gladly tolerates on my account'). She was clearly unable to write the songs at this time, but Schumann went ahead with his plans. In April he wrote to the publisher Kistner informing him that 'my wife has written some very interesting songs, which have inspired me to compose others.' He thus broached the idea of issuing these works in a single book Clara had begun to work on any Rückert settings.
It was only in June 1841 that Clara settled down to work, probably with the intention of making a birthday present for her husband. Her initial reaction was typically negative: 'Composing just won't work – I sometimes just want to hit myself on my stupid head! … I sat around composing quite a bit this week, and produced four Rückert poems for my beloved Robert. I just hope that they please him a little.'
Please him they did. Clara's entry in the marriage diary tells us that the 'very delighted' Robert treated the songs 'with great respect' and that he wanted to 'publish them with some of his own which makes me very happy.' Only one of the four songs composed in that June – Die gute Nacht, die ich dir sage – was not included in the cycle; it concludes this disc, however, following Robert Schumann's choral setting of the same poem. The finished cycle was not published by Kistner as Schumann had first envisaged, but by Breitkopf und Härtel in two books. He took care however that the work was engraved in time to surprise his wife on her 22nd birthday, 13 September 1841. The work was given two separate opus numbers: it was Robert's Op 37, and Clara's Op 12.
