Podcast appearances and mentions of Alexander Borodin

Os universos de três coreógrafos que trabalham em Moçambique, França e Estados Unidos juntaram-se em “Plenum / Anima”, uma composição coreográfica apresentada na Philarmonie de Paris, este fim-de-semana. Este é um espectáculo feito “em contra-mão do que se passa no mundo”, descreve Ídio Chichava, o coreógrafo moçambicano que revisitou a “Sagração da Primavera” de Igor Stravinsky e que mostrou que a "escola moçambicana de dança" deve reivindicar o seu lugar nos palcos internacionais.  Este sábado e domingo, na Philarmonie de Paris, o coreógrafo moçambicano Ídio Chichava revisitou a “Sagração da Primavera” de Igor Stravinsky num espectáculo em que foram apresentadas mais duas obras dos coreógrafos Benjamin Millepied e Jobel Medina. Foi uma composição de três peças coreográficas de três criadores que têm escrito a sua história no mundo da dança graças às suas experiências migratórias: Chichava vive entre Moçambique e a França, Millepied entre a França e os Estados Unidos e Medina nasceu nas Filipinas e vive e trabalha em Los Angeles.Numa altura em que se erguem muros e fronteiras, os universos dos três criadores juntaram-se na composição “Plenum / Anima”, um espectáculo feito “em contra-mão do que se passa no mundo”, nas palavras de Ídio Chichava, que falou com a RFI no dia da estreia.O espectáculo tem um sentido muito forte que vai em contra-mão do que está a acontecer hoje no mundo. Na verdade, há estes três universos que se vão cruzar e que vão estar abertos à exposição e à compreensão e ao olhar mais outras pessoas. Para mim, este lugar que é muito mais humano, mas, por detrás disso, a interligação e o espaço em que todos nós podemos coexistir, com pensamentos totalmente diferentes, com ideias totalmente diferentes, com apreciações totalmente diferentes, com aquilo que é a dança e ainda mais pela forma como cada um vê a dança e onde a dança é criada. Estamos a falar de um olhar que é muito mais cultivado pela França, um lugar que é muito cultivado pelos Estados Unidos e outro que é muito mais cultivado por Moçambique. Então, esta noite, para mim, é uma sagração desse encontro de pensamentos totalmente diferentes, mas que, de certa forma, fluem e mostram um lugar de harmonia.A composição “Plenum / Anima” começou com a obra coreográfica do francês Benjamin Millepied e da sua companhia baseada em Los Angeles, L.A. Dance Project, que dançou ao som de uma composição de Johann Sebastian Bach, “Passacaille et Fugue en ut mineur", composta entre 1706 e 1713. Seguiu-se a criação de Jobel Medina, a partir das “Danças Polovtsianas”, compostas em 1869 por Alexander Borodin. A fechar, Ídio Chichava apresentou a sua versão de “A Sagração da Primavera”, composta entre 1910 e 1913 por Igor Stravinsky, com bailarinos da companhia moçambicana Converge + (Osvaldo Passirivo, Paulo Inácio e Cristina Matola) e da companhia americana L.A. Dance Project.As músicas intemporais dos séculos XVIII, XIX e XX foram interpretadas pelos organistas francês Olivier Latry e sul-coreana Shin-Young Lee, que criaram um novo olhar sobre as obras de Borodin e Stravinsky, já que apenas a partitura de Bach foi pensada originalmente para ser tocada num órgão de tubos.Foi a partir deste lugar musical, descrito por Ídio Chichava como “mais orgânico e visceral”, que o coreógrafo desafiou um século de interpretações de “A Sagração da Primavera”. A sua proposta junta movimentos coreográficos de entrega, de luta e de resistência, a sons de cânticos de trabalho e de guerra, mas também afirma a escola moçambicana da dança como um lugar feito não apenas para se encaixar, mas também para se impor.A primeira vez que escutei ‘A Sagração da Primavera' de Stravinsky, sinceramente, fiquei completamente na selva porque a composição é muito eclética e, sinceramente não via a minha experiência como bailarino tradicional dentro daquela composição. Mas, mesmo assim, entrámos no desafio de desafiar o próprio tempo da música, o próprio ritmo da música e isso é que foi o primeiro chamativo para mim. Com a forma como nós aprendemos a dança em Moçambique podemos criar um contraponto, enriquecer mais a composição, trazer um outro olhar, uma outra apreciação diferente das que já têm sido apresentadas."A Sagração da Primavera” foi criada para um bailado apresentado pela primeira vez, em Paris, em 1913, no Teatro dos Campos Elísios, pela companhia Ballets Russes de Serge Diaghilev e coreografada por Nijinski,  tendo, então, sido apontada como um escândalo. Porém, foi-se tornando uma referência e, ao longo do século XX, foi trabalhada por diferentes coreógrafos, como Maurice Béjart (1959), Pina Bausch (1975), Martha Graham (1984), Angelin Preljocaj (2001), Xavier Le Roy (2007), Heddy Maalem (2004), entre muitos outros. A assinatura de Ídio Chichava foi defender "a escola moçambicana de dança" e “desafiar as leituras pré-concebidas para esta obra”.Eu venho sempre defendendo o lugar da nossa escola moçambicana de dança e de que forma ela se pode afirmar. Este foi o desafio, foi uma porta claríssima para desafiar, por um lado, as leituras que já são pré-concebidas para esta obra, e, de certa forma, foi também encaixar e partilhar com os outros bailarinos, que são americanos, a forma como nós aprendemos a música e a dança.Sobre o que é essa “escola moçambicana de dança”, Chichava explica que é “marcar o tempo e, de certa forma, fazer contratempos no contratempo da música.” Para isso, também contribuiu o facto de a música ser tocada, pela primeira vez num espectáculo de dança, em órgãos de tubos.O órgão já tem esse lugar que é muito orgânico. Ele dilui completamente aquele lugar mecânico da execução técnica da própria música. Depois, a forma como os dois músicos tocam, a sensibilidade, a escuta, isso cria uma segurança para nós em palco porque cria realmente esse lugar mais orgânico, mais de convivência. Tanto que não resisti, no final, em acabar a peça próximo dos músicos.Os bailarinos dançam, batem com os pés de forma sonante, marcham, levantam-se, entoam cânticos e deixam sair sons gerados pelos movimentos. Os corpos prendem-se e desprendem-se em busca de liberdade, mas também se deixam levar, por uma qualquer força telúrica, que os empurra para a terra-mãe ou para a força matricial do palco. Os figurinos são aparentemente simples, com cores associadas à natureza e à “adoração da Terra”, em referência à própria história da “Sagração da Primavera”, na qual uma jovem seria sacrificada como oferenda a uma entidade divina, conforme um ritual de Primavera. Um mote violento que - admite Ídio Chichava - o fez pensar na história contemporânea de Moçambique e que também fez da peça um “espelho e um reflexo da situação” no seu país.

Carlos Iribarren | El quinto episodio de primeras sinfonías rusas incluye 4 movimientos de sendos autores que aún no habían sonado en esta serie orquestal de Hoy Toca. Los responsables de la música tan interesante que ilumina esta entrega son Alexander Borodin, Mikhail Ippolitov-Ivanov, Anton Arensky y Alexander Scriabin, cuyos primeros intentos sinfónicos oscilan entre finales del siglo XIX y comienzos del XX. Es música de mucho nivel que Carlos Iribarren y Mario Mora quieren que disfrutes en un viaje lleno de matices y sonidos emocionantes; así de apasionante es la nueva entrega de Hoy Toca, el programa de Clásica FM que te quiere sorprender.

Dan La Botz's book Riding with the Revolution: The American Left in the Mexican Revolution, 1900-1925 (Brill, 2024) tells the story of Americans who from 1900 to 1925 became involved with the Mexican Revolution. John Reed actually saddled up and rode with Pancho Villa. Later, American war resisters crossed the Rio Grande into Mexico, where they helped found the Communist Party, the Industrial Workers of the World, and a Feminist Council. Protestant ministers, Socialist Eugene Debs, Samuel Gompers head of the AFL, the anarchist Emma Goldman, and Communists John Reed, Louis Fraina, Bertram Wolfe, as well as foreign politicos M.N. Roy, Sen Katayama, and Alexander Borodin all took a hand in the Mexican labor movement. Dan La Botz is the author of twelve books, and his latest is part of Brill's Historical Materialism series.

You were to consult RFI English journalist Jessica Phelan's article “The three-way factor that makes France's election results so unusual” and send in the answer to these two questions: What was voter turnout on Sunday 30 June, and in which year was it last that high? The answer is: As Jessica wrote in her article: “The last three parliamentary elections have seen turnout of roughly 48 percent (2022), 49 percent (2017) and 57 percent (2012) in the first round, which effectively meant parties had to win a higher share of ballots cast to get across the threshold.On the 30th of June turnout reached almost 67 percent – its highest since 1997.”In addition to the quiz question, there was the bonus question: “Given unlimited resources, what scientific or medical problem would you investigate, and why?”Do you have a bonus question idea?

Welkom terug bij een nieuwe aflevering van Kalm met Klassiek, dé podcastserie voor je dagelijkse momentje rust. Deze week hebben we weer een nieuw thema; 'Strijkers', oftewel, muziek gecomponeerd voor de vioolfamilie. In 1881 schreef Alexander Borodin zijn tweede strijkkwartet, dat droeg hij op aan zijn vrouw Ekaterina Protopova. Het langzame derde deel, genaamd Notturno, is het meest populair geworden van de vier delen en dat is dan ook het deel dat Ab voor deze aflevering heeft uitgekozen.  

Synopsis One of the most popular Romantic string quartets had its premiere performance on today's date in 1882 at a Russian Musical Society concert in Saint Petersburg. Alexander Borodin's String Quartet No. 2 was dedicated to his wife, Ekaterina Protopova. They had met in Heidelberg, Germany 20 years earlier, and since Borodin had just returned from another trip to Heidelberg, his new quartet may have been an anniversary present.  Some commentators even suggest the cello represents Borodin and the first violin, Ekaterina. So what about the second violin and viola? Well, maybe they're meant to be the two witnesses at the wedding! Fast forward to 1953, when some of the tunes in Borodin's Quartet were repurposed in a Broadway musical entitled Kismet. This one, for example, was set to the lyrics, “Baubles, bangles, and beads,” which are, after all, more conventional anniversary presents.

The problem of the large and growing variety of elements perplexed chemists, who attempted to bring order to the chaos. We learn about Döbereiner's triads, Pettenkofer and Dumas's correlations of multiples of atomic weights, Newlands's Law of Octaves, and Chancourtois's Telluric Screw. Kekulé's Karlsruhe conference brought order to some chemical chaos, and was the launching point for Dmitri Mendeleev and his periodic table, while Lothar Meyer almost beat Mendeleev for bragging rights. Mendeleev's close friend Alexander Borodin was a chemist AND composer, and we hear from guest Alan Rothenberg on Borodin's life and music.Support the show

Alexander Borodin was another Russian composer of the GROUP OF THE FIVE. In today's program, I have created a "suite" of the orchestral numbers of his opera PRINCE IGOR

Synopsis Today's date marks the birthday of a 20th century Czech composer you perhaps have never heard of. Viktor Kalabis was born in 1923 and by age 6, was giving public piano performances. All the signs pointed to a brilliant career. But first Kalabis had to face – and surmount–two major political hurdles. First, his formal musical studies were delayed by the Nazi occupation of his country in 1938, when he was forced into factory work; then, after the war, Kalabis met and married a young harpsichordist named Zuzana Ruzickova, who was a concentration camp survivor. Victor was a Gentile, but in Stalinist Czechoslovakia, anti-Semitism was rampant and marrying a Jew was frowned upon. To make matters worse, both Victor and Zuzana refused to join the Communist Party, hardly what one would call “a smart career move” in those years. Even so, Kalabis began to attract commissions and performances of his music at home and abroad, and following the 1989 Velvet Revolution, Kalabis assumed a more prominent position in his country's musical life. His symphonies, concertos, and chamber works are now regarded as some of the most important contributions to Czech music in the late 20th century. Music Played in Today's Program Viktor Kalabis (1923 – 2006) — Piano Concerto No. 1 (Zuzana Ruzickova, p; Czech Philharmonic; Karel Sejna, cond.)

Borodin Prince IgorThe Polovtsian Dances are perhaps the best known selections from Alexander Borodin's opera Prince Igor (1890). They are often played as a stand-alone concert piece. Borodin was the original composer, but the opera was left unfinished at his death and was subsequently completed by Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov and Alexander Glazunov. In the opera the dances are performed with chorus, but concert performances often omit the choral parts. The dances do not include the "Polovtsian March," which opens Act III (No. 18), but the overture, dances, and march from the opera have been performed together to form a suite from Prince Igor. In the opera, the dances occur in Act II (in the original edition). A typical performance lasts between 11 and 14 minutes. The overture, never written out by Borodin, was reconstructed by Glazunov from his memory of the composer playing it at the piano and a few sketches. The overture file is scanned from the separate offprints for the Overture, Dances, and March.

Prince Igor is an opera in four acts with a prologue, written and composed by Alexander Borodin. The composer adapted the libretto from the Ancient Russian epic The Lay of Igor's Host, which recounts the campaign of Rus' prince Igor Svyatoslavich against the invading Cuman ("Polovtsian") tribes in 1185. He also incorporated material drawn from two medieval Kievan chronicles. The opera was left unfinished upon the composer's death in 1887 and was edited and completed by Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov and Alexander Glazunov. It was first performed in St. Petersburg, Russia, in 1890.

Daniel Drexler es el protagonista del día de hoy, y al conversar con él veremos que no existe ningún motivo para no poder dedicarse a trabajos tan aparentemente dispares como son la medicina y la música. Si buscamos en la historia, aparecen algunos ejemplos. Alexander Borodin es recordado como un gran compositor nacionalista ruso, pero en realidad era un investigador en el campo de la química. La música era una diversión, un trabajo para sus ratos libres. En muchos campos de la ciencia se puede observar esta regla. “Los Drexler” de Uruguay son un claro ejemplo de la grata convivencia entre estas profesiones . En este episodio, “ Cada Drexler con su Tema”, espero que lo disfruten.

Many pieces of music from Russian operas have become much more famous in the concert hall than on the opera stage. Some of these pieces include Tchaikovsky's Waltz and Polonaise from Eugene Onegin, Alexander Borodin's Polovstian Dances from Prince Igor, and Sergei Prokofiev's march from The Love for Three Oranges.

I can't constrain myself. I feel anger toward politicians today. Who are these people at the top? Our national debt will never be paid back. We have a panoply of despair and yet our politicians refuse to help the people. My point: Borrow any amount of fiat money cause it will never be paid back. It's at the heart of everything. What is money? Digital currency, a credit system, a debtor jubilee. The federal debt will disappear. MUSIC Michael Giacchino, Alexander Borodin, Ryan Amon

The Mighty Handful, also known as the Mighty Five, were group of Russian composers who all wanted to develop a distinctly Russian style of classical music. The Mighty Five composers were Mily Balakirev, Alexander Borodin, Cesar Cui, Modest Mussorgsky, and Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov.

During her 35-year career at NASA and its predecessor, she earned a reputation for mastering complex manual calculations and helped pioneer the use of computers to perform the tasks. The space agency noted her "historical role as one of the first African-American women to work as a NASA scientist." Johnson's work included calculating trajectories, launch windows and emergency return paths for Project Mercury spaceflights, including those for astronauts Alan Shepard, the first American in space, and John Glenn, the first American in orbit, and rendezvous paths for the ApolloLunar Module and command module on flights to the Moon. Her calculations were also essential to the beginning of the Space Shuttle program, and she worked on plans for a mission to Mars. In 2015, President Barack Obama awarded Johnson the Presidential Medal of Freedom. She was portrayed by Taraji P. Henson as a lead character in the 2016 film Hidden Figures. In 2019, Johnson was awarded the Congressional Gold Medal. Johnson died at a retirement home in Newport News, at age 101. Following her death, Jim Bridenstine, NASA's administrator, described her as "an American hero" and stated that "her pioneering legacy will never be forgotten."25 February 2020 – Kazuhisa Hashimoto, Japanese video game developer, best known for having created the Konami Code passed away – https://edition.cnn.com/2020/02/26/tech/kazuhisa-hashimoto-konami-code-dead/index.htmlHashimoto is best known for inventing the ↑ ↑ ↓ ↓ ← → ← → B A hack found in multiple video games that has become a geek touchstone in the gaming community. The cheat code gives you different perks, depending on the game. Hashimoto had inadvertently created it while bringing the arcade version of Gradius to the NES in 1986. Hashimoto knew the arcade version of the game was hard and he would likely not finish it, so he added a sequence of button presses that he could easily remember that gave the ship he controlled in the game the full range of power-ups so that he could easily complete the game for in-house testing purposes. He had intended to remove the programming code for that sequence before the game was shipped, but the game had shipped with the code included. Since then, the Konami code is not only used across other video games from other developers and publishers in similar manners, but as Easter eggs in other forms of media. His death reported by both Konami and by Hashimoto's friend Yuji Takenouchi , a composer and video game sound designer, who tweeted that the code creator died.22 February 2020 – 81 year old man became the oldest man to sail around the world - https://mobile.abc.net.au/news/2020-02-22/bill-hatfield-oldest-person-to-sail-solo-around-the-world/11991436?fbclid=IwAR0r50t6ZI5eHnBuMxqkmgfPTlUiarwhHzVFFPZo5OrKRR4aI95ezGw6Ll0After four attempts, Bill Hatfield has become the oldest person to sail solo, non-stop and unassisted around the world. The 81-year-old completed his eight-month journey on Saturday morning, sailing into The Spit on the Gold Coast in his 38-foot yacht L'Eau Commotion. The former fisherman from Bundaberg said he'd been dreaming of this achievement since he was seven years old. Mr Hatfield said he lived on strict rations while at sea. "For fresh water I had a desalinator that pumps through a membrane, and my daily diet was a third of a tin of beans, a tin of tuna, 100 grams of rice and flour and oats, and 150 grams of milk powder." The achievement is all the more impressive considering he sailed west, battling against the prevailing winds and currents.22 February 2020 – Michael Hughes popularly known as "Mad" Mike Hughes passed away - https://mobile.abc.net.au/news/2020-02-22/bill-hatfield-oldest-person-to-sail-solo-around-the-world/11991436?fbclid=IwAR0r50t6ZI5eHnBuMxqkmgfPTlUiarwhHzVFFPZo5OrKRR4aI95ezGw6Ll0Hughes, a self-styled daredevil, flat-Earth theorist and limousine-jumping stuntman, died Saturday when his crudely built contraption propelled him on a column of steam, spiraled through the air and cratered into the sagebrush. The rocket’s green parachute tore away moments after takeoff, sending the crowd of 50 or so people into a panic. In March 2018, Mr Hughes propelled himself almost 600m into the air before a hard landing in the Mojave Desert. After professing his belief in a flat Earth later that year, Hughes gained support within the flat-Earth community. His post-flat-Earth fundraising campaign made its $7,875 goal. He had said he intended to make multiple rocket journeys, culminating in a flight to outer space, where he believed he would be able to take a picture of the entire Earth as a flat disc. He died in Barstow, California at the age of 64.Remembrances27 February 1887 – Alexander Borodin -https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexander_BorodinAlexander Porfiryevich Borodin, Russian chemist and Romantic musical composer of Georgian ancestry. He was one of the prominent 19th-century composers known as "The Mighty Handful", a group dedicated to producing a uniquely Russian kind of classical music, rather than imitating earlier Western European models. A doctor and chemist by profession, Borodin made important early contributions to organic chemistry. Although he is presently known better as a composer, during his lifetime, he regarded medicine and science as his primary occupations, only practising music and composition in his spare time or when he was ill. As a chemist, Borodin is known best for his work concerning organic synthesis, including being among the first chemists to demonstrate nucleophilic substitution, as well as being the co-discoverer of the aldol reaction. Borodin was a promoter of education in Russia and founded the School of Medicine for Women in Saint Petersburg, where he taught until 1885. He died from heart attack at the age of 54 in Saint Petersburg.27 February 1936 – Ivan Pavlov - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ivan_PavlovRussian physiologist known primarily for his work in classical conditioning. Inspired by the progressive ideas which D. I. Pisarev, the most eminent of the Russian literary critics of the 1860s, and I. M. Sechenov, the father of Russian physiology, were spreading, Pavlov abandoned his religious career and devoted his life to science. Pavlov won the Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine in 1904, becoming the first Russian Nobel laureate. Pavlov's principles of classical conditioning have been found to operate across a variety of behavior therapies and in experimental and clinical settings, such as educational classrooms and even reducing phobias with systematic desensitization. Pavlov also contributed to many areas of physiology and neurological sciences. Most of his work involved research in temperament,conditioning and involuntary reflex actions. This research served as a base for broad research on the digestive system. He died from natural causes at the age of 86 in Leningrad, Russian SFSR.27 February 1980 – George Tobias - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_TobiasAmerican film and television actor. He had character parts in several major films of Hollywood's Golden Age, but today he is probably best known for his role as Abner Kravitz on the TV sitcom Bewitched. He came to Hollywood in the late Thirties and quickly became a fixture in films of all genres, primarily at Warner Bros. He was a frequent foil for James Cagney and played everything from comedies to dramas and musicals. He died from bladder cancer at the age of 78 in in Los Angeles, California.Famous Birthdays27 February 272 – Constantine the Great – https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Constantine_the_GreatKnown as Constantine I, was a Roman Emperor who ruled between AD 306 and 337. As emperor, Constantine enacted administrative, financial, social and military reforms to strengthen the empire. He restructured the government, separating civil and military authorities. To combat inflation he introduced the solidus, a new gold coin that became the standard for Byzantine and European currencies for more than a thousand years. The Roman army was reorganised to consist of mobile units (comitatenses) and garrison troops (limitanei) capable of countering internal threats and barbarian invasions. Constantine pursued successful campaigns against the tribes on the Roman frontiers—the Franks, the Alamanni, the Goths and the Sarmatians—even resettling territories abandoned by his predecessors during the Crisis of the Third Century. Constantine was the first Roman emperor to convert to Christianity. He has historically been referred to as the "First Christian Emperor" and he did favour the Christian Church. He was born in Naissus, Moesia Superior.27 February 1869 – Alice Hamilton – https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alice_HamiltonAmerican physician, research scientist, and author who is best known as a leading expert in the field of occupational health and a pioneer in the field of industrial toxicology. Her scientific research focused on the study of occupational illnesses and the dangerous effects of industrial metals and chemical compounds. Hamilton's best-known research included her studies on carbon monoxide poisoning among American steelworkers, mercury poisoning of hatters, and "a debilitating hand condition developed by workers using jackhammers." In addition to her scientific work, Hamilton was a social-welfare reformer, humanitarian, peace activist, and a resident-volunteer at Hull House in Chicago. She was the recipient of numerous honors and awards, most notably the Albert Lasker Public Service Award for her public-service contributions. She was born in Manhattan, New York City, New York.27 February 1807 – Henry Wadsworth Longfellow - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henry_Wadsworth_LongfellowAmerican poet and educator whose works include "Paul Revere's Ride", The Song of Hiawatha, and Evangeline. He was also the first American to translate Dante Alighieri's Divine Comedy and was one of the Fireside Poets from New England. His first major poetry collections were Voices of the Night (1839) and Ballads and Other Poems (1841). Longfellow wrote many lyric poems known for their musicality and often presenting stories of mythology and legend. He became the most popular American poet of his day and also had success overseas. He has been criticized by some, however, for imitating European styles and writing specifically for the masses. He was born in Portland, Maine.Events of Interest27 February 1980 – “I Will Survive” wins first and last Grammy for Best Disco Recording- https://www.history.com/this-day-in-history/i-will-survive-wins-the-firstand-lastgrammy-ever-awarded-for-best-disco-recordingThe National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences gave disco their stamp of approval, deciding to give a Grammy award for Best Disco Recording, just as the musical style was preparing to die. As popular as the music was on the radio and in the clubs, disco had failed to produce many of the kind of dependable, multi-platinum acts that the industry depended on for its biggest profits. The Best Disco Recording category, recognized by the Grammys for the first time, was summarily eliminated from the following year’s awards.27 February 1994 – TekLab was aired - https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0111387/On this day in 1994, TekLab aired as one of the telefilms launching William Shatner's TekWar SciFi series. The film starred Greg Evigan and Eugene Clark, and here's the plot summary compliments of IMDB.com: "The actual sword of Excalibur has been stolen in London, and futuristic detectives Jake Cardigan and Sid Gomez are assigned to track it down and to find out who is trying to block the British reign from its rightful heir.".27 February 2004 – Shoko Asahara, the leader of the Japanese doomsday cult Aum Shinrikyo, is sentenced to death for masterminding the 1995 Tokyo subway sarin attack. - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tokyo_subway_sarin_attack#Aum/Aleph_todayAsahara was sentenced to death by hanging on 27 February 2004, but lawyers immediately appealed the ruling. The Tokyo High Court postponed its decision on the appeal until results were obtained from a court-ordered psychiatric evaluation, which was issued to determine whether Asahara was fit to stand trial. Asahara and twelve other Aum cultists were finally executed by hanging in July, 2018, after all appeals were exhausted. The group reportedly still has about 2,100 members, and continues to recruit new members under the name "Aleph" as well as other names. Though the group has renounced its violent past, it still continues to follow Asahara's spiritual teachings. Members operate several businesses, though boycotts of known Aleph-related businesses, in addition to searches, confiscations of possible evidence and picketing by protest groups, have resulted in closures.Follow us onFacebook- Page - https://www.facebook.com/NerdsAmalgamated/- Group - https://www.facebook.com/groups/440485136816406/Twitter - https://twitter.com/NAmalgamatedSpotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/6Nux69rftdBeeEXwD8GXrSiTunes - https://itunes.apple.com/au/podcast/top-shelf-nerds/id1347661094RSS - http://www.thatsnotcanonproductions.com/topshelfnerdspodcast?format=rssInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/nerds_amalgamated/General EnquiriesEmail - Nerds.Amalgamated@gmail.comRate & Review us on Podchaser - https://www.podchaser.com/podcasts/nerds-amalgamated-623195

Jonathan Larson, the composer of the musical "Rent," used the same plot for this musical as Puccini did for La Boheme. Other composers also used classical music when they wrote their Broadway hits. "Kismet" is adapted from compositions by Russian composer Alexander Borodin and "The Song of Norway" uses tunes by Edvard Grieg to tell the story of Grieg's life.

He was Artistic Director of Note per la Sindone (Notes for the Holy Shroud) Organ Festival (promoted by Unione Musicale of Turin and financed by Regione Piemonte - Culture Committee) held at Turin in May 2010 on the occasion of the celebrations for the Solemn Ostension of the Holy Shroud. Luca is counselor member of ASPOR Piemonte (Association for the Safeguard of the Organistic Patrimony of Piedmont Region). He is Piano teacher at the San Giuseppe College of Turin, directed by the De La Salle Brothers. Luca was invited to give a masterclass, which took place in April 2016 (subject of the course: the Six Organ Sonatas, op. 65, by Felix Mendelssohn-Bartholdy), at the Gnessin Russian Academy of Music in Moscow.

The man who was a shadow to the rest of the world becomes very real only after his star turns to cinders. Waves of confusion, malice, sorrow, and ambition rock both space programs.  The Soviet Union sees a golden opportunity to break the back of NASA. In the light of the sun, they will reach for future. In the dark of the witching hour, two friends will reach for the past.   I used "Escaping the Bonds of Earth: The fifties and sixties" by Ben Evans and "Rockets and People Vol 3" by Boris Chertok, "The First Soviet Cosmonaut Team" by Rex Hall and Colin Burgess, and "Challenge to Apollo" by Asif Siddiqi. Additionally, I referenced the Hendrickx and astronautix.com translations of the Kamanin diaries as well as "Red Star in Orbit" by James E. Oberg.   Music during the story of Icarus was "Harbor" by Kai Engel. "On the Moon" by johnny_ripper was present throughout. The European Archive supplied a recording of Alexander Borodin's "In the Steppes of Central Asia," as well as the third movement of Tchaikovsky's "Suite No. 1." Also included was Jazzar's "Railroad Whiskey co," Kai Engel's "Rainbow," and "Oneiri," and PC III's "Snow Ticket."   boy that's a lotta songs twitter: @theendspodcast email: hello@theendspodcast.com

This episode was recorded live at Temple Israel in West Palm Beach, Florida. Our Jewish guest is Igor Shteyrenberg, director of the Miami Jewish Film Festival, which in five years he grew from an annual event with 4,000 attendees to the third largest Jewish film festival in the U.S. He tells us his favorite new Jewish films, the most controversial film the festival has screened (hint: there were zombies), and the Jewish movie he’d make if he were given carte blanche to choose from all the actors and directors in the world. Our Gentile of the Week is Rocco Mangel, the restaurateur behind Rocco’s Tacos and Tequila Bar, which has six locations in Florida and one in Brooklyn. He tells us about getting his start in the business working in his family’s New York restaurants as a teenager, studying tequila in Mexico before opening his first location, and which South Florida location is the rowdiest (sorry, Boca).

Works for string orchestra by Borodin and Frank performed by A Far Cry on April 21, 2013 and September 27, 2015. Borodin, Alexander: String Quartet No. 2, Mvt. 3 Notturno: Andante Frank, Gabriela Lena: Leyendas: An Andean Walkabout (2001)These days, many of us think of the gulf between classical and popular music as fairly wide and immovable, but it wasn’t always so—and it’s not necessarily so today, either. On this podcast, we’ll hear A Far Cry play works by two musical omnivores: composers whose work routinely crosses between popular, folk, and classical genres.First, we have a sort of accidental pop songwriter: the Russian composer Alexander Borodin, whose eminently hummable melodies were “borrowed” and turned into popular songs for the musical Kismet. We’ll hear Borodin’s second String Quartet; the third movement, called “Notturno,” was also set to words in Kismet, as the song “And This Is My Beloved.”Sometimes influence flows the opposite way, as in composer Gabriela Lena Frank’s work, which borrows ideas from traditional folk music, and blends them with Western classical traditions. The title of this piece—Leyendas—means “legends,” and the movements depict a variety of aspects of traditional Andean life and folk music, from the sound of panpipes to the speed of the legendary chasqui messengers, who sprinted from town to town carrying important messages.

Last year, Spreckels Theater Company staged an unconventional revival of Rogers and Hammerstein’s ‘Carousel,’ a play many have heard of but few have ever actually seen. Eschewing complex sets, shoreline scenery—and, you know, an actual carousel—director Gene Abravaya inverted the whole concept, hauling the orchestra up from the pit, and letting the show unfold in front and around the musicians, in what was advertised as a “staged concert.” The production was a solid success, though—it being described as a concert—there were some audience members who showed up expecting actors in suits standing before microphones, singing the show from sheet music propped up on metal music stands. They did not expect a fully staged musical, presented with costumes and characters and choreography and even actual, if somewhat minimal, sets. Stripped down as it was, the result was intimate, satisfying and strangely magical. This year, Abravaya is trying to make similar magic, with another “staged concert” of a little known musical, this time taking on the rarely-performed, Arabian-tale-themed 1953 romance ‘Kismet.’ Set in ancient Bagdad during the time of poet Omar Kayam—he of the ‘Rubiyat,” the “moving finger writing,” and the “jug of wine, loaf of bread and thou”—‘Kismet’ blends original songs by Robert Wright and George Forest with reworked pieces by the 19th century Russian composer Alexander Borodin. The composer’s 1890 opera Prince Igor has been resurrected, and largely rewritten for ‘Kismet,’ with a new story and wholly original lyrics layered atop Borodin’s sweeping melodies. Kismet’s shaggy-doggish story, based on a non-musical stage play of the same name from 1911, follows a poor poet played by Tim Setzer with charming, spot-on perfection. Seeking a few coins with which to buy a meal, the poet arrives in Bagdad with his daughter Marsinah—an electrifyingly good Carmen Mitchell—accidentally timing their visit just as the royal Caliph—a somewhat stiff but gorgeously voiced Jacob Bronson—is reluctantly shopping for a princess, the various candidates arriving from surrounding kingdoms by the score. The poet, almost immediately arrested for a petty crime, attempts to save himself from a harsh punishment by passing himself off as a wizard to Bagdad’s stern, law-enforcing Wazir, played by Harry Duke, in a hilarious and richly entertaining performance that is simultaneously wacky and unsettling. At the same time, the poet launches a reckless affair with the Wazir’s primary wife LaLume, played by Brenda Reed, managing to be both sexy and a little bit scary all at once. Meanwhile, Marsinah, the poet’s daughter, accidentally meets the Caliph, who, for various reasons, assumes she’s a visiting princess, while she assumes that he’s a gardener. They fall in love to the aching strains of the show’s most recognizable tune, Stranger in Paradise, setting up a series of events that become frequently tangled, and quite a bit silly, right up until the story’s slightly shocking climax. There’s a lot going on, but ultimately, Kismet still turns out to be not much of a play, with a dated premise, thin characters and a preposterous plot, plus some outrageously nonsensical dialogue. Still, the cast is uniformly splendid—and as directed by Abravaya with sweet simplicity and an emphasis on the lovely but rarely memorable music—there is a bit of welcome sorcery on display at all times, bringing this lost artifact from the Golden Days of Broadway back to life with plenty of warmth, color, contagious enthusiasm and genuine love. 'Kismet' runs Thursday–Sunday through February 28 at Spreckels Performing Arts Center. www.spreckelsonline.com

Many pieces of music from Russian operas have become much more famous in the concert hall than on the opera stage. Some of these pieces include Tchaikovsky's Waltz and Polonaise from Eugene Onegin, Alexander Borodin's Polovstian Dances from Prince Igor, and Sergei Prokofiev's march from The Love for Three Oranges.

Can you guess this piece? Here's a hint: Music that is pure kismet
