fWotD Episode 2980: Saxophone Sonata (Creston) Welcome to Featured Wiki of the Day, your daily dose of knowledge from Wikipedia's finest articles.The featured article for Wednesday, 2 July 2025, is Saxophone Sonata (Creston).The Sonata for E♭ Alto Saxophone and Piano, Op. 19, was composed by Paul Creston in 1939. The sonata was commissioned in the spring by Creston's frequent collaborator, the American saxophonist Cecil Leeson. Creston began composition by June: it was completed by the end of August and slated for publication in 1940, although this was postponed to 1945 due to World War II. The sonata is in three movements and takes around thirteen minutes to perform. Its form follows a traditional, classical-era structure. The first movement is in a modified sonata form with no recapitulation: two themes are introduced in an exposition and extensively developed, before the movement ends with a coda. Harmonically, it is based on seventh chords, with its tonality moving between several tonal centers. A slower middle movement with song-like melodies follows, before the sonata ends with a rhythmically complex rondo featuring polymeters. The sonata as a whole is of considerable difficulty for both players.Creston and Leeson premiered the sonata at the Carnegie Chamber Hall on February 15, 1940, although Leeson had performed it on tour prior to that date. No critics were present at the premiere, but the sonata's 1955 debut recording by Vincent Abato and Creston obtained a mixed response. Most found the sonata enjoyable, but there was criticism of a perceived simplistic and salon-like styling. It was the first of Creston's chamber works to be recorded and had appeared on fourteen records by 1980. Today, it is broadly seen as a key piece of the classical saxophone's repertoire and is frequently performed.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 00:40 UTC on Wednesday, 2 July 2025.For the full current version of the article, see Saxophone Sonata (Creston) on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm generative Ayanda.

Charles Funk, President and CEO of Heliostar Metals (TSX.V:HSTR - OTCQX:HSTXF - FRA: RGG1) joins me to recap the January 30th news release reporting a batch of drill results from the La Colorada Mine in Mexico. We delve into details of the 23 reported drill holes, all from the Creston pit, and the overall goals of the drill program. Key points include the expansion plans of the Creston pit, efforts to improve mine economics by converting waste material into valuable ore, and the impacts of new permits being issued in Mexico. They also touch on the potential for future underground mining at La Colorado and the financial considerations for the mine's expansion. Charles gives an in-depth analysis of the latest drill results from the Creston pit, on the LA Colorada Mine, where 23 holes have been reported, indicating higher than expected grades in material considered to be waste. The conversation covers the upcoming feasibility study, which aims to expand the Creston pit and convert waste material into valuable ore, potentially enhancing gold production. Charles explains that the goal is to achieve 50,000 to 100,000 ounces of annual production, which represents a substantial expansion from the current output sourced from low-grade stockpiles. The discussion also touches on the longer-term potential for underground mining at La Colorado, based on high grade gold deeper intercepts. Finally, Charles provides insights into the permitting landscape in Mexico, noting recent positive shifts that could benefit Heliostar Metals, especially the San Augustine Project.

Welcome to my Memorizing Tarot Card Audio Podcast, where I discuss strategies to learn and memorize Tarot cards. Today's episode is your three-minute lesson on the Reversal of The Empress.Why an audio course=================The purpose of this audio podcast is to help reinforce key messages by audio, while you clean, exercise, mow your lawn, or drive great distances. There is no charge for this content, and it is intended to provide short, snappy microlearning to help beginners keep practicing and reinforcing the learning. The best way to learn Tarot cards, is to keep practicing working with the cards. Rider Waite Tarot Card Deck=======================I learned how to read cards on the Rider Waite Tarot Deck and the instructor I had said its easiest to have everyone on the same deck when explaining the symbolism. With time, I was able to transfer that knowledge to other decks. If you are a beginner at learning Taro, below are some links to the Rider Waite Tarot Deck to follow along if you need a set of cards. I earn a small referral commission from these links from Amazon. Rider Waite Tarot Deck - USA Link: https://amzn.to/3TW5y0iRider Waite Tarot Deck - Canada Link: https://amzn.to/3YcTwlRRider Waite Tarot Deck - UK Link: https://amzn.to/4eyRUIMRider Waite Tarot Deck - Australia link: https://amzn.to/3ZRB1EwAbout Carrie and @QuickLearnQuests ===============================I have been reading Tarot cards for 30 years for fun. I took a two and a half day course, and I was so excited to be able to take the mystery out of getting readings done for myself, and to be able to do them myself. We also have social media channels, TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, YouTube and all major podcast distributors such as Spotify, Apple, Audible and many others under the handle @quickLearnQuests. I am focusing mostly on my podcasts and YouTube at the moment, but I will expand into more social media more consistently when I find my feet. Here is my YouTube Channel video for interpreting cards in Three Card Spreads: https://youtu.be/P8En-8-8njk?si=7LIlOsFv9pNZ9iK7 Here is the transcript: Welcome to the "Memorizing Tarot Cards" podcast, your three-minute lessons on learning and memorizing each card using symbolism. I use the Rider Waite Tarot, but you can view the card while you listen using your own Tarot card deck or a computer. Today, we're exploring The Empress, focusing on reversals. Let's start with the divine meaning of the card and then its meaning when reversed.The Empress Upright is the epitome of nurturing, abundance, creativity, and the maternal energy that encourages growth and prosperity. She embodies the power of nature, fertility, and a deep connection to oneself and the world. However, when The Empress appears reversed, this powerful energy can become blocked or imbalanced. It suggests a disconnection from self-care, creative flow, or an over-dependence on others for validation. So what does that mean when we see The Empress reversed in a reading? When The Empress Reversed appears in a reading, it's a reminder to pause and check how you care for yourself. Make sure you are nurturing your own needs and that you are not entirely focused on others. This card encourages you to reclaim your energy and remember that true nurturing begins with yourself. It may also indicate dependency on others for validation or fulfillment. If you're feeling lost or unsupported, The Empress Reversed suggests building confidence and autonomy, tapping into your inner strength to cultivate self-sufficiency. So, what is the best way to memorize The Empress in reverse?Tying the card to a personal experience helps me remember it. For example, my reversed Empress moment was apparent when I moved to a rural community from a large city. I didn't realize how little I focused on myself when I was in the city. I was in the small business community, so my time seemed to primarily go to my clients, marketing, and supporting others in the small business community. It was minimal if I think of how much time I took for myself. My husband was also a small business owner then, and most of my friends were also in that community. When I moved to Creston, all that activity stopped dead in its tracks. I found myself in a reversed Empress energy and also in a bit of an identity crisis followed by a health crisis. The lack of self-care for years was a shock to my system when I had nothing to focus on but myself and my household. I still had my work, but my time wasn't completely booked. In that silence, I needed to figure out who I was and what I wanted to do. As I began to connect more with my husband and my parents, I took better care of myself with a better diet, creative hobbies, and getting involved in local activities.That's all for today's episode of The Empress Reversed. Remember, to memorize tarot, keep practicing tarot.

July, 2024. BCR visited the Hot Air Brewing in Creston, Iowa this summer. It is a bastion of liberality and acceptance. We were in Iowa to visit our friends Brian Terrell and Betsy Kennan of the "Strangers and Guests Catholic Worker Farm," in Malloy, IA -- about 30 miles south of Creston; Betsy and Brian introduced us to Iowan's Katie Davidson and Ryan Fuller. When we talked with her, Katie owned the Hot Air Brewery and Ryan is a farmer with his husband and performs drag as "Cherry Peaks."We wanted to get a sense of what life is like in a small Iowan town -- in a state that supports Donald Trump for President. It was a most revealing conversation.Contact: Alan Winson -- barcrawlradio@gmail.com Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Shorebirds' lives take them to many places other than the shore. Most of the shorebirds we see along our coasts migrate to the Arctic in summer. Here, many nest on the tundra, some along rushing streams, and others on rocky mountainsides. Long-billed Curlews winter on the Florida, Gulf, and Pacific coasts. But this one was seen in a field near Creston, BC, Canada, nearly 500 miles from the coast and 1/2 mile from the nearest body of water, the Kootenay River!More info and transcript at BirdNote.org.
