Scene 1 No 1: Introduction [1'17]
Scene 2 No 1: Introduction [1'46]
Scene 6 No 1: Introduction [1'12]
During the Victorian era The Golden Legend was second only to Handel's Messiah in popularity and is regarded by Sullivan experts as his finest concert work. Never before recorded in its entirety, Hyperion and Ronald Corp, with support from the Sir Arthur Sullivan Society and The D'Oyly Carte Charitable Trust, have resurrected this masterpiece.
During the summer of 1886 following on from the huge success that was The Mikado, Sullivan hid himself away in a cottage in Yorktown and composed a secular cantata that Gilbert was to recognise as "the biggest thing you've done". Scenes following the premiere at the Leeds Festival on October 15th transcended any known before, with the audience on its feet waving programmes and hats, climbing on chairs and hurling flowers. The choir had formed an opinion of its own of the work at rehearsal, and had accumulated bouquets under their chairs to launch at the composer.
Hailed by Stanford as deserving of a place "on the shelves of the classics", Hyperion is therefore proud to participate in the revival of a work of such enormity, removing The Golden Legend's overwhelming popularity from the archives and placing it righfully in the present.
Arthur Sullivan (1842-1900) is probably the most widely-known of all nineteenth-century British composers. From humble beginnings in Lambeth, the son of an Irish clarinettist and military bandmaster, he rose to become the friend of princes, a fêted social celebrity, and the countrys most famous composer.
Sullivan owed much to the hugely successful series of operettas written in collaboration with the author W S Gilbert. What began as a diverting sideline with Cox and Box (1866) led to the development of a distinctly British style of operetta. The works of the 1870s, including HMS Pinafore and The Pirates of Penzance, laid the foundations for the triumphs that made London in the 1880s the centre of the operetta world. Patience, Iolanthe, The Mikado and The Yeomen of the Guard were all produced in the decade that culminated with The Gondoliers. Thereafter, occasionally variable inspiration and the growing popularity of musical comedy led to declining fortunes for Sullivan and for British operetta.
But Sullivans success did not rest solely on operetta. As the first holder of the Mendelssohn Scholarship he progressed from the Royal Academy of Music to the Leipzig Conservatoire, causing a sensation on his return with his brilliant score for The Tempest (1861). He quickly established a reputation with choral works, songs, the Irish Symphony, a cello concerto and other orchestral and theatre music. As operetta came to dominate Sullivans creative life, his serious output diminished. Nonetheless, two major works came relatively late: the cantata The Golden Legend (1886) and a grand opera Ivanhoe (1891). Outside composition, Sullivans range of influence was enormous. He conducted the Leeds Festival and the Philharmonic Society, he edited operas for Boosey, and was a key figure in such diverse projects as the National Training School for Music (forerunner of the Royal College of Music) and the National Brass Band Festival. When he died in 1900 he was buried in St Pauls Cathedral and the nation mourned its most celebrated musician.
Very soon the almost inevitable reaction began to set in, resulting in a virtually total neglect of Sullivans concert music a fate shared with so much British music of the period. Few works can have experienced the pendulum of fortune swing as quickly as The Golden Legend. When first heard at the 1886 Leeds Festival the reception was overwhelming, and during the remaining years of the composers life it was so frequently produced that only Messiah was performed more often in Britain. It even overtook Elijah in popularity. But when the fall from favour came, the silence of The Golden Legend was almost total. By the mid twentieth century, the work was no more than a name in the history books. Only the unaccompanied chorus O gladsome Light lingered in the repertoire as a church anthem. But changing attitudes and a more enlightened insight into the period are leading to a rediscovery of the richness of Victorian art. The wind of change is blowing the dust from a wealth of music, including The Golden Legend and Sullivans other non-Gilbert output that is again thanks in no small part to the Sir Arthur Sullivan Society being performed and widely enjoyed.
Before writing The Golden Legend, Sullivan had gained a good deal of experience and success as a choral composer. For although it was essentially an orchestral work, The Tempest, that marked him out as the bright white hope of British music, the market for new large-scale concert works lay mainly in the field of choral music to meet the demands of the countless amateur choirs. The young Sullivan soon turned his talents in that direction with compositions such as the short, attractive and picturesque cantatas Kenilworth (1864) and On Shore and Sea (1871), as well as the sacred oratorios The Prodigal Son (1869) and The Light of the World (1873). All were well received and The Light of the World in particular was highly regarded (Gounod considered it a work of genius) and much performed during the composers lifetime. However, none of these choral works broke significant fresh ground or spoke with a particularly individual voice. With The Martyr of Antioch (1880), however, a more dramatic approach strengthened by Gilberts skillful adaptation of Milmans poem (his only non-operatic collaboration with Sullivan) produced a work with a more distinctive edge.
Sullivan composed The Martyr of Antioch for the Leeds Triennial Festival of 1880. It was his first year as festival conductor, in succession to the ageing Michael Costa. For his third festival in 1886, Sullivan promised a new cantata and enlisted the help of his friend, the music critic Joseph Bennett, to abridge and adapt Longfellows narrative poem, The Golden Legend, for the purpose. The poems sheer length meant that many events and episodes were inevitably omitted. The problems of abridgement notwithstanding, however, Bennetts text, although focusing effectively on the poems more Gothic elements, does not present a continuous narrative thread Scenes from The Golden Legend would describe it more accurately. Neither does it realise the dramatic potential of every situation actually included cutting short the action at the point when Prince Henry and the Attendants burst in upon Lucifer to rescue Elsie (Scene 4) is the most glaring case in point. However, it should be borne in mind that listeners were expected to read the argument or synopsis commonly provided for such works and, of course, Longfellows much-read poem would have been familiar to many so leaving gaps in the story was not perceived as a problem.
1886 was a hectic year for Sullivan, but in between conducting Philharmonic Society concerts, hosting Franz Liszt around London and composing Ruddigore, the score of The Golden Legend was completed between April and August. Some of the most celebrated soloists of the day, including Albani and Edward Lloyd, were engaged for the premiere at Leeds Town Hall on 16 October. Expectations were high and were not disappointed. The performance was a triumph. Sullivan had certainly pulled out all the stops with The Golden Legend. Most of all he had wanted to demonstrate that, as a serious composer, he remained a force to be reckoned with. Undoubtedly in this work he consciously set out to explore more progressive technical horizons. That this has led to some unfavourable comparisons within the wider European context, should no longer hinder proper appreciation of the works qualities and significance. The British Choral Tradition is a hugely important force that is not always appropriately measured against the scale of values reflecting primarily Germanic priorities that still defines a common view of all Western musical history and development. The line of major works written for British choirs, or fostered by them, stretches from Messiah to The Creation, to Elijah, to The Dream of Gerontius and beyond. En route between Elijah and Gerontius, The Golden Legend is an important milestone. By expanding the dramatic, narrative, almost operatic approach of Elijah and increasing the role of the orchestra following Berliozs lead in The Damnation of Faust, Sullivan lit the way for Elgar. King Olaf, Caractacus and Gerontius owe much to The Golden Legend as, via them, does Waltons Belshazzars Feast. Elgar certainly admired The Golden Legend and its influence went much deeper than individual details (such as the striking similarity between the opening solo tenor phrase in The Legend and Gerontius) helping to mould his whole approach to the composition of large-scale choral music.
Curiously, for a work written for a major choral festival and which remained such a favourite with amateur choirs, The Golden Legend does not make extensive use of the chorus. The writing in the Prologue is imaginative and very effective but if some of the choral writing elsewhere is conventional by the standards of the day it is always apposite and eminently singable. (Sullivan knew what his choristers enjoyed and did well!) Throughout the work the solo writing is consistently strong. Scene III, in particular, is superb and Prince Henry and Elsies final duet in Scene VI has a yearning romantic intensity that would not be out of place in a Tchaikovsky opera. Most of all, though, it is the brilliant scoring for large orchestra that sets The Golden Legend apart and shows us a great composer in full and perfect command of his art.

Cellulitis is a deep bacterial infection of the skin and soft tissue of the skin. The infection usually involves the arms and legs. It can also be seen around the eye, mouth, abdominal wall and anus. Cellulitis may happen in normal skin, but it usually occurs after some type of trauma causes an opening in your skin. This opening can lead to an infection.
Cellulitis is usually caused by a bacterial infection of a wound or area of skin that is no longer intact. The most common bacterial causes of cellulitis include the following:
Group A ß - hemolytic streptococcus
Streptococcus pneumoniae
Staphylococcus aureus
Staphylococci and streptococci are commonly found on the skin or mucous membranes of the mouth and nose in healthy people. The infection occurs when there is a break in the skin, allowing the bacteria to enter. Other causes may include human or animal bites, or injuries that occur in water.
The following are the most common symptoms of cellulitis. However, each individual may experience symptoms differently. Symptoms may include:
Redness of the skin
Swelling of the skin
Warm skin
Red streaks from the original site of the cellulitis
Some cases of cellulitis are considered an emergency. Always consult your doctor immediately if you notice any of the following symptoms:
A very large area of red, inflamed skin
If the area affected is causing numbness, tingling, or other changes in a hand, arm, leg, or foot
If the skin appears black
If the area that is red and swollen is around your eye(s) or behind the ear(s)
If you have diabetes or have a weakened immune system and develops cellulitis
The symptoms of cellulitis may resemble other skin conditions. Always consult your doctor for a diagnosis.
Diagnosis is usually based on a medical history and physical examination. Blood and skin samples may be taken to confirm the diagnosis and the type of bacteria that is present.
Specific treatment for cellulitis will be determined by your doctor based on:
Your age, overall health, and medical history
Extent of the condition
Your tolerance for specific medications, procedures, or therapies
Expectations for the course of the condition
Your opinion or preference
Immediate treatment can help prevent the spread of cellulitis. Treatment may include:
Oral or intravenous (IV) antibiotics
Cool, wet dressings on the infection site
Keeping the area dry and clean
Surgical intervention
If you have an extremity (arm or leg) that is affected, your doctor may have you elevate the extremity and decrease the amount of activity
Appropriate time to heal
Based on the physical examination, your doctor may treat you in the hospital, depending on the severity of the cellulitis. In the hospital, you may receive antibiotics and fluids through an intravenous (IV) catheter.

Report: 90 Percent of Condo Buyers Are Foreigners
By Kyle Munzenrieder
Eby, 52, from Glens Falls, New York, was an electrician in the Coast Guard, where "if you didn't drink you were a pussy." He's now drunk so much that he has seizures without his daily alcohol fix. He has a son, "Eby, Jr., just like me!" out there somewhere, and five former wives, Rose, Patti, Cookie, Joan and one he can't remember. When he gets sick, as he does more and more frequently, he prefers Jackson Memorial to South Shore, the two hospitals where Beach homeless are most often directed. "At Jackson, they treat you like they know you; at South Shore, it's yore typic money factory . . . One night me and my buddy Terry was tryin' to carry a guy across the road and some broad hit us. Didn't have her lights on, I was first in line, so I got it worst . . . Cops come, they say 'It's just drunken Eby and Terry, hell, you can go.' Didn't even give her a ticket! Nice-lookin' tourist, out spendin' money! At South Shore, they give us an X-ray an' throw us out. Shoulder stillhurts. If we'd had insurance, we'da been there a month!"
Another time, when he'd tackled a guy who'd snatched an old lady's purse, and held him for the prowl car, the cops just ran him off.
The worst part of homelessness is the sense that you're "already gone," that you've crossed so many lines that it no longer matters if you wake up again. When Eby first lost his job as a meter man, he decided he didn't want to go to Miami to participate in the "continuum of care." That left eating out of dumpsters, an idea so repellent he nearly starved, being then too proud to beg, and a non-thief, and only working occasionally for his friend Zack, who ran a boat rental place. Eventually, hunger overcame delicacy and Eby began to hit the Days Inn dumpster at 21st and Collins every morning at 11:30 for the leftover breakfasts (scrambled eggs and pancakes hold up best in the garbage). From there he progressed to the Publix dumpster at Twentieth and West Avenue, where "you can get slightly spoiled fruit and meat" that won't make you "too sick, you just gotta sorta not breathe while you're rummagin' around, ya know?" Dunkin' Donuts at Sixteenth and Alton puts a lotof day-old pastry out "if you're lookin' for a sugar fix." Sbarro's Pizza at Fifteenth and Washington "is real friendly, he puts fresh pies out separately, sometimes," and lays them on top of the dumpster, in the alley behind the store, "so you don't have to actually climb in" . . . Then there are "New York Spiders," the slim "heels" of booze found in the bottoms of bottles in black plastic trash bags in the dumpsters; these are often sloshed together randomly and drunk as "South Beach Punch."
Eby would rather use these means to stay alive now. And he likes his bridge home. In the Salvation Army and the other Miami "help" places, the men get crushed together, and the younger, tougher tramps push you around and take your stuff. And the social workers don't seem to understand -- some people are just loners; regimentation is bad for them.
"I know I'm the one that got me in trouble, but guys like us -- we're bums, not 'homeless.' Ever hear of the 'Wobblies' -- the IWW [International Workers of the World]? Back around 1910? They were guys -- Big Bill Hayward, Joe Hill -- they knew things weren't right. You got to change a lot of stuff . . ."
"Like the parking meters, Eby?"
"Aw," he said. "That wasn't even me. It was a guy named Rick. Big sonofabitch. He's dead now . . ." He looked at his hands.
"Naw, I can't be a electrician again," he answered a question. "I get the shakes too bad, and I got arthritis . . . Too many hot shots." His blue eyes flashed mischievously then, and he wondered facetiously if he got a ladder and climbed up to the balconies of those ladies who kept calling the cops on him at the Helen Mar, if one might maybe change her mind and take him in.
The idea made him feel better. "You know," he said, "there was a bunch of us when I was young who thought about Amurcan socialism . . . Now I wish I just had enough money to get a haircut. And buy a beer . . ."

November 27, 2014
KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- The Knox County Sheriff's Office has recovered several computers stolen from an elementary school and arrested two men they charged with trying to sell them online.
Arrest warrants cited by the Knoxville News Sentinel state 23-year-old Kiarra Montrez Byrd and 35-year-old Victor Laroy Harrison sold a computer to an undercover detective.
An iMac desktop appeared on Craigslist shortly after 20 computers were stolen during a break-in at Carter Elementary School. The posting said it was still "sealed in the box" and offered the $1,300 machine for $900.
Byrd and Harrison each is charged with one count of theft and are free on bond. Neither has been charged in the break-in.
The sheriff's office said five of the 20 stolen computers have been recovered.

Why? Comb your memory. What was happening three years ago? The economy tanked, and so did new car sales and leases. That means there is a dearth of three year old vehicles today for car dealers to sell. In particular, dealers are used to having a load of cars coming off thee year lease to populate their lots.
The average value of 1- to 3-year-old used cars has risen from $15,000 in 2008 to more than $23,000 this year, according to analysis by Kelley Blue Book. The increase in value, 16 percent on average, is also due to slow sales and leases of new cars, which is causing a greater demand for used cars.
Fuel-efficient cars, especially hybrids, have seen some of the biggest increases in value this year due to high gas prices earlier this year. But as gas prices have dropped off since the start of summer, so have values, offsetting some of those gains. Since June, subcompacts and compacts have dropped by 8 percent on average, while hybrids have dropped 12.5-percent on average, according to Kelley analysis. Despite the decline, these cars are still up an average of $1,400 since Jan. 1. But if gas prices continue to creep lower, their value will continue to slip the rest of the year.
Analysis by TrueCar shows that selling your used car privately, as opposed to trading it in, will especially pay off, eliminating the dealer's cut between what they pay for a trade-in and what they sell the car for to the next customer. You can gain thousands by listing on a site like autotrader.com, ebaymotors.com or right here at AOL Autos.
The best way to know what your used car is selling for is to look it up on AOL Autos research tool or TrueCar.com. Make sure to include the correct trim level and features when you are searching for the true market price.
Remember to take care and precautions if selling the car yourself to a private party.
We recommend going on the test drive with the prospective purchaser. If possible, have two adults go with the prospective driver if they are a stranger. Never let a stranger test drive your car without you.

Cisco fluffs up freebie Nexus virtual switch
Cisco is poised to begin beta testing of the latest version of its Nexus 1000V virtual switches, including a new Essential Edition which it will offer for the low, low price of nothing at all. The reasoning behind this pricing policy is simplicity itself: if you are trying to take on VMware in the market for virtual switches, as …
VMware vs. Cisco
VMware decided to break up the happy home.... I think ultimately Cisco is going to need to give away their proprietary SDN if they want to compete with VMware. VMware is going to bake Nicira into VSphere and tell customers to go buy some inexpensive switching, which Intel and white box switch provider XYZ will be pleased to produce. They are going to start offering customers switching which is integrated with their VMware environment at about 1/4th Cisco's cost. Cisco is just trying to make it a more complex decision that "migrate and save 3/4ths your cost" by adding x86 servers, storage, telephony, anything to make it more complex than ethernet switch vs. ethernet switch. Cisco has made enemies of nearly everyone in the IT industry. I wouldn't be surprised to see HP, IBM, Oracle and, obviously, EMC line up on VMware side.
Step too far
Cisco's glorious record of biting every hand that has fed them seems to to know no bounds!! They have long been trumpeting their unique relationship with VMWare and how much deeper their ties are than anyone else and now they go and do this!! Not entirely unexpected but I sincerely hope this is a step too far for them and that market realities start to take hold and people see through the bull***t and lies that they have been peddling since their dawn of time and go with the technologies that actually make sense. I have no axe to grind in favour of VMWare, but on this occasion I hope they clean up entirely at Cisco's expense.
Re: Step too far
Nice story - where does the bit about VMware buying it's own virtual switch vendor fit into it?
A pity there are no discounts on nexus hardware
But there are some interesting competitors on the TRILL front.

COOLUM, Australia (AP) - South Korean Choi Joon-woo shot a 6-under-par 66 Thursday to take the early clubhouse lead by one stroke over American Bubba Watson and Australian Aaron Townsend at the Australian PGA.
With most of the morning threesomes having completed play, and thunderstorms forecast for the afternoon, British Open champion Darren Clarke was three strokes back after a 69, including a missed 60-foot birdie putt from off the green on the ninth - his last - that curled around the back of the hole.
Clarke was in the same group as Adam Scott (70) and Greg Norman (72). Scott made a huge recovery from his opening 40 - including a triple-bogey 6 on the par-3 11th - to shoot 6-under 30 coming home.

Apple now spends more on chips than top three PC makers combined
In case you were wondering whether the PC industry is still in a slump, the numbers are in on semiconductor purchasing in 2013 – and once again, the biggest spenders weren't PC vendors. According to the latest figures from market research firm IHS iSuppli, Apple and Samsung again topped the list of the biggest semiconductor …
"HP, the biggest spender of the three, bought around $10.1bn worth of semiconductors in 2013 – merely a third of what Apple bought. What's more, HP's spending actually decreased by 6.5 per cent since 2012."
HP buys the most expensive processors that Intel has to offer; the Itanium line.
Price is irrelevant, they buy those in tiny quantities. HP has always spent a fraction on Itanium CPUs of that they spend on x86 CPUs. Even when you factor in the price of Itanium that spending has never come close.
The PC is dead.
All hail the Tablet?
"The PC is dead. All hail the Tablet?"
Man, I keep hitting F6 on my tablet but it still doesn't want to compile my C++ code. Gotta jump back on the PC I guess.
I would be interested to see what Google, Amazon, Facebook, et al are spending on chips for their cloud server armies. I'm thinking it wouldn't be insignificant compared to the consumer electronics companies, but I could be way off base. But I'm betting Intel and AMD are making a nice chunk of change off those cloud service companies.
Self supply
I wonder what the figures would look like if they included semiconductor companies made themselves. (I'm thinking of Samsung at least, here...)
Re: Self supply
Why would that matter? obviously Samsung makes a lot of stuff, that's their business making things. They seriously suck at producing anything new and innovative.
Galaxy Gear is a perfect example of that. They produced something fairly original (Pebble is a much more simple and different design) and the reviews are all pretty much the same, they suck at industrial design and they suck at producing software.
There's only one reason to own your own production facilities, to eliminate the profit margin on production. But if you do own your own production facility you have to ensure that it remains competitive. It's much easier to just put tenders out to the market and get a good price.
Re: Self supply
Anon commentard who thinks they know better than Samsungs top brass. I'm shocked - shocked I tells you - that they are not listening to your wisdom.
Re: Self supply
>There's only one reason to own your own production facilities, to eliminate the profit margin on production.
Or to stop you waking up one day and discovering you can't launch a phone because somebody has bought all the production capacity of flash or screens.
I don't know how the report classifies Samsung's own production - the company generally runs divisions as very competitive business - it sells chips to it's main competitor for example. So Samsung's $50Bn probably includes a lot of chips made by Samsung fabs
Re: Self supply
It matters because Apple has to buy in all the chips it uses, and many of them come from Samsung. Samsung also makes those chips for its own phones and slabs, and they don't appear in the sales stats because they are internal transfers.
Re: Self supply
>they suck at industrial design and they suck at producing software.
Doesn't bode well for the UAE then - Samsung is building their nuclear power station...... perhaps it's not too late to put a call in to Ives and co.
Re: Self supply
No, you exclude the production because you don't want to double count. You either count all of the production or all of the consumption, but never parts of each.
"Apple now spends more on chips than top three PC makers combined "
Thats cos Jobs was vegetarian, the rest are eating Pies
It's not really a surprise.
Only Apple and Samsung have huge thriving smartphone, tablet and laptop businesses. The others are all more specialised.
I that think I bought more chips than Apple...
Which is why I'm dieting now....
I don't know if this matters but Samsung makes tons of other things that uses chips that aren't computers phones or tablets. They make TVs DVD players all sorts of HIFI and appliances all of which uses chips and aren't in competition with PCs. The Samsung stove that uses glass touch panels aren't running on vacuum tubes.
Apologies in advance
"Apple now spends more on chips than top three PC makers combined"
Yes but what about fish?
-Apologies to all for not being able to stop myself posting this.
Re: Apologies in advance
and the mushy peas interface. Oops, too much vinegar.
I wonder if Microsoft's Windows regular crashing, malware and virus infections has anything to do with it!
Re: Apologies in advance
Apples, fish'n'chips, peas, far too health....I prefer KitKat on my Galaxy.
How much does this depend on the chips in question. My understanding is that your average iDevice is quite likely to contain a few pieces of pricey custom silicon, whereas your bog-standard PC gets by on commodity chips from Intel and the DRAM people. I don't suppose this if enough to nullify the premise of the article, but we are comparing beige-box-shifters with purveyors of premium fondle-ables here.
@Ken Hagan
A fair point, but it comes with another. I was under the impression the CISC chips had a higher margin on them than RISC chips did. So Intel make more money shifting fewer chips than Samsung.
