Music of Renaissance Poland
Bartłomiej Pękiel - Missa pulcherrima ad instar Praenestini
Motets by Liban, Leopolita, Zieleński & others
Pre-Concert lecture 7 PM Dr. Szymon Paczkowski
Influenced by Flemish and Italian models, music composed by Bartłomiej Pękiel and
his contemporaries dominated both secular and religious life in the epicenter of arts
and culture in Renaissance Poland – the city of Krakow. Both the royal court of the
Jagiellonian Dynasty and the ecclesiastical community of Wawel Cathedral
commissioned works from these composers for their pastimes and sumptuous
liturgies. Join Polyhymnia as we journey to Krakow to hear Pękiel's lovely
Pulcherrima ad instar Praenestini
– composed in the style of Palestrina and based
on Polish carols as well as a collection of motets by Polish composers Liban,
Leopolita, Zieleński and others.
Polyhymnia is supported, in part, by public funds from the New York City
Department of Cultural Affairs in partnership with the City Council.
Polyhymnia is made possible by the New York State Council on the Arts with
the support of Governor Andrew Cuomo and the New York State Legislature.

Motets by Vaet, Lassus & Clemens non Papa
Pre-concert lecture 7 PM Dr. Sarah Davies
Unjustly neglected by history and one of Polyhymnia's most beloved composers, Jacob
professional life as Kapellmeister to Holy Roman Emperor Maximilian II. He was
influenced most strongly by Nicolas Gombert, whose style of pervasive imitation and
elegant use of cross relations can be seen in most of Vaet's music and that by his friend
and teacher Clemens non Papa. His six-voice Missa Ego flos campi, composed on
especially for Polyhymnia. Travel with us along the streets of 16th-century Vienna as we
take a fresh look at Vaet and his glorious musical legacy.
Saturday March 1, 2014
Responds & Hymns for the Sarum Rite
Music for the Divine Office by, Taverner, Tallis & Sheppard
Pre-concert lecture 7 PM Mr. Emerson Morgan
The music of the English Tudor composers is among most striking and beautiful in the
vast body of Renaissance musical repertoire. Unique to Tudor music is the Respond.
plainsong, the Responds were sung after reading of Holy Scripture, and were as varied
as the feast days for which they were composed. Equally elegant is the body of office
hymns which alternate florid chant from English breviaries with glorious polyphony.
Join us as we step behind the choir screens of the great English cathedrals to experience
the mystery and devotion of the religious during the reigns of Henry VIII and Mary I.

WATCH: Leyonhjelm calls for marriage equality
New Liberal Democratic senator, David Leyonhjelm, has committed to introduce a bill to Parliament calling for same-sex marriage. The senator said it was not the job of governments to define relationships.
After delivering a stirring maiden speech to Parliament last week in which he said "Liberty is eroded when we are unable to marry the person of our choice, whatever their gender," marriage equality advocates were hopeful Leyonhjelm would push for reform.
Today Leyonhjelm solidified his position, saying classical liberals have often led the charge for human rights.
"Throughout history, classical liberals have been instrumental in putting forward the case that led to the major advancements in human rights, such as the abolition of slavery and women's suffrage. Once again it is the turn of classical liberals to step up for the benefit of gay, lesbian and transgender people," Leyonhjelm said.
"It is not the job of governments to define relationships. For those of you who have a problem with homosexuality for some reason or another, we are not asking for your approval. I ask merely for your tolerance."
Watch Senator Leyonhjelm's speech here
Leyonhjelm concluded: "If your private life is nobody else's business, I ask you to understand that the private life of others is none of your business, and it is simply not your role to impose your views on others. I ask that you understand that the liberties you care about should be available to everybody, and that there is no place in Australia for second class citizens."
Marriage equality advocates have welcomed Leyonhjelm's comments and called on "true liberals" in the Coalition to come out in favour of marriage equality.
Australian Marriage Equality deputy director, Ivan Hinton said, "Senator Leyonhjelm has highlighted how allowing same-sex couples to marry is a matter of individual freedom from undue government interference in our private lives.
"This will carry weight with Coalition members who value small government and personal freedom."
Once again advocates are calling on the Prime Minister to allow a conscience vote on the matter.

The art of photography is capturing real moments in their true element of emotion. Such a moment was captured by birth photographer Lindsay Foster, who photographed two dads holding their newborn baby boy for the first time last Friday during World Pride in Kingston, Ontario. According to a report by The Star on Thursday, the photo has since gone viral.
The photo not only symbolizes the joy of hope, it also signified the essence of family in its many forms. The expression on the faces of Frank Nelson, 44, and BJ Barone, 34, said it all as they held baby Milo in their arms for the first time. Nelson expressed the proud moment captured so expressively in the photo.
He told The Star, "I remember being in pure joy. I think it has been a gift to everyone who sees that photo and knows that it does not matter if it's a man or a woman or gay couple, anyone would feel utter joy in that moment."
Both Nelson and Barone are teachers with the Toronto District School Board and have received so much support since the photo has gone viral. The photo taken by Foster has been liked more than 40,000 times on Facebook and has been spread across the world in a Buzzfeed article and other sites such as the Huffington Post, Gay Star News and here on Examiner.com.
In the photo, the proud fathers are shirtless because a midwife asked them to remove their shirts to be closer with baby Milo. It was something the midwife explained to Nelson would help the baby's heart rate, so he did it. Foster, who is a friend of the surrogate, was at the right place as the right time and said, "I'm just glad I got the picture in focus." It should be noted that the surrogate mom was in no way related to the baby and did not use her own eggs. Carrying Milo was a gift she was happy to give to the new dads.
Foster was able to capture the raw emotion all parents experience, regardless of sexual orientation. The viral attention elevates the bond parents share with the first breaths of their child and the pure exhilaration of holding new life in their arms. It was a beautiful moment and the support from that moment has drawn much appreciation from the new daddies.
Nelson and Barone expressed their thanks saying, "Thank you to everyone out there who has taken the time to like, comment and share our picture! This was truly an incredible moment in our lives that will be captured forever by the lovely Lindsay Foster Photography. We are so lucky that we have a beautiful, healthy baby boy!"
There have been some negative remarks regarding the picture, but much of those came from not knowing enough of the facts and some were based on ignorance. They went on to say, "All comments posted are respected, although we may not agree with the negative ones, the positive ones far outweigh the negative. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. This is a moment of pure love and acceptance. Milo is surrounded by unconditional love and he will grow up knowing many different types of families and accept everyone. Milo was born during World Pride. This picture represents everything Pride is about. Love has no color nor gender nor sexual preference. Love is unconditional."

We received a sample of FoldTuk Collapsible Bakeware and Storageware ($16-80) in the mail, and were instantly intrigued. Their claim to fame is cookware and bakeware that's made from a special petroleum-free Ceramber material: it's collapsible, dishwasher safe, naturally non-stick, and can be used to cook food in the oven or microwave, then used as food storage. You'll have less dishes to wash, and the collapsible design saves space in your cupboard. We baked a batch of our signature triple chocolate brownies with cappuccino chips (Oh, yes, we know. They rock.) in our six-cup capacity rectangular FoldTuk, and were impressed with the evenly baked results that lifted easily from the pan as if we'd greased it with a stick of butter.

1D Appear TWICE In The Worldwide Album Charts For 2012
MediaTraffic have published their annual music sales charts for 2012, and One Direction appear twice in the TOP FIVE!
Their debut album 'Up All Night' is at number 3 on the chart, behind Taylor Swift's Red in 2nd place and Adele's 21 in 1st.
'Take Me Home' takes the number 5 spot just behind Lana Del Rey's 'Born To Die'.
To have one album in the top ten, let alone top five is some achievement, so for One Direction to have BOTH their albums is simply STAGGERING.
That deserves a great big WELL DONE 1D, doesn't it.
Oooh, we're proud of our little boys
The full top ten Worldwide Album Chart for 2012 is as follows:
- Adele – 21
- Taylor Swift – Red
- One Direction – Up All Night
- Lana Del Rey – Born To Die
- One Direction – Take Me Home
- Mumford & Sons – Babel
- Pink – The Truth About Love
- Justin Bieber – Believe
- Coldplay – Mylo Xlyoto
- Maroon 5 – Overexposed
In the global singles chart for 2012, 1D are in position 18 with 'What Makes You Beautiful', a fair way behind Gotye's huge track 'Somebody That I Used To Know' in 1st place.
Guess we'll all have to buy even more copies of the next few 1D singles to try and make a dent on next years chart 😉
2013 is set to be a year packed full of jet-setting for 1D as they embark on a huge global One Direction tour starting in February with 3 dates at The O2 Arena in London, before jetting between the rest of the UK, all over Europe, across to North America before finally finishing in Australia and New Zealand in October.
Phew! That's some bigass tour!

Virginia Birding and Wildlife Trail
South Chesapeake Loop
The sites in the South Chesapeake Loop offer a sample of habitats at the interface of pinewoods and the swampy bottomlands lining several rivers that drain the southeastern corner of the state. Typically, sites on this loop present a diverse assortment of wildlife that reflects this amalgam of habitats. At a single site, visitors may encounter birds ranging from nuthatches flitting through the pines, to prothonotary warblers nesting in hollow swamp trees, to stealthy great blue herons hunting in the shallows. The City of Chesapeake is a starting point for this loop, which circles southward toward the North Carolina border and returns just south of the city.
