Podcasts about fair maid

Tonight, we'll read St. Valentine's Day; or, The Fair Maid of Perth by Sir Walter Scott, as part of the Waverly novels. St. Valentine's Day was one of Scott's later works, published in 1828, and it draws on real Scottish history—including the infamous Battle of the North Inch. The heroine, Catharine Glover, is based on a real legend about a glovemaker's daughter in Perth. Medieval glove-making was a surprisingly respectable trade—and could be likened to haute couture of the 14th century. — read by 'V' — Sign up for Snoozecast+ to get expanded, ad-free access by going to snoozecast.com/plus!

RNIB Connect Radio's Toby Davey is joined again by Vidar Hjardeng MBE, Inclusion and Diversity Consultant for ITV News across England, Wales, Northern Ireland and the Channel Islands for the next in his regular Connect Radio theatre reviews. This week we join Vidar in the pub where the heroes are local and the locals are all heroes as Isobel McArthur redefines Thomas Heywood's Elizabethan romp The Fair Maid of The West at the Royal Shakespeare Company in Stratford-upon-Avon on Saturday 6 January at 1.30pm with description by Professional Audio Describers Julia Grundy and Ellie Packer. About The Fair Maid of theWest: Liz Bridges might seem ordinary, but it turns out that a life spent lending ears, mending hearts and serving beers has all been in preparation for the ultimate test of her character... A good landlady pacifies the vexed, enlightens the perplexed, and always knows who's next. Who knew that breaking up bar brawls would be such good training for international diplomacy?   Join us at the pub – where the heroes are local and the locals are all heroes – in this celebratory, music-filled, ensemble comedy about the life-saving powers of community, compromise and compassion. Especially in those moments when all our happy hours seem to be behind us.   Thomas Heywood's Elizabethan romp The Fair Maid of the West featured in the Swan Theatre's opening season in 1986. Now it is redefined by Isobel McArthur (Pride & Prejudice* (*sort of)) in this dynamic, open-armed adaptation for 2023.

Tonight, we'll read “St. Valentine's Day” or “The Fair Maid of Perth” written by Sir Walter Scott and published in 1828 as part of the Waverly novels. Inspired by the strange, but historically true, story of the Battle of the North Inch, it is set in Scotland around 1400.If you enjoy this episode, be sure to check out our other story taken from the Waverly series titled “The Maiden of the Mist” that aired on January 11, 2021.— read by 'V' — Listen Ad-Free on Patreon See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Synopsis Today's date marks the 250th anniversary of the birth of Sir Walter Scott.  Born in Edinburgh in 1771, he became Scotland's most famous novelist, poet, playwright, and historian. His works were wildly popular throughout Europe and America in the 19th Century and attracted the attention of many famous composers. Franz Schubert was a fan and set several of Scott's poems to music.  In fact, Schubert's beloved setting of “Ave Maria” was originally written to words from Scott's poem “The Lady of the Lake. “ Rossini based an opera on “The Lady of Lake” – “La Donna del Lago” being its Italian title -- and Donizetti's opera “Lucia di Lammermoor” is based on Scott's novel “The Bride of Lammermoor.” There are TWO operas based on “Ivanhoe,” Scott's popular historical novel about medieval Templar knights: the Austrian composer Otto Nicolai made an Italian-language version entitled “Il Templaro,” and the German composer Heinrich Marschner a German-language version called “Der Templer und die Jüdin.” The Frenchman Georges Bizet based his opera “La jolie fille de Perth” on Scott's novel “The Fair Maid of Perth,” and the “Rob Roy” concert overture by Hector Berlioz takes its inspiration from the Scott novel of the same name. Music Played in Today's Program Hector Berlioz (1803-1869) – Rob Roy Overture (Montreal Symphony; Charles Dutoit, cond.) London/Decca 421 193

With regard to his enormous catalog of work, Charlie’s onscreen persona, The Tramp, is considered iconic, and it brought him wealth and fame. In 1931, Charlie created the silent film that Roger Ebert regarded as his best: City Lights. In the film, Charlie, as The Tramp, falls in love with a blind flower girl. And here’s some incredible movie trivia about City Lights: The scene where The Tramp bought a flower from the blind girl had 342 takes. Charlie could not figure out how to convey a key plot point: the blind woman needed to know that The Tramp - who didn’t speak - was wealthy. So, until he got it just right, the actress, Virginia Cherrill, had to say, "Flower Sir?” 342 times.   February 2, 2021 Today is Candlemas - a celebration of the quickening of the year. While today we might say we’re half-way between Christmas and spring, this Celtic tradition honored the midpoint between the winter solstice and the spring equinox and was a forerunner to Groundhog Day. Like Groundhog Day, Candlemas was all about predicting when winter would come to an end. This is why there are so many verses for Candlemas: If Candlemas Day be mild and gay Go saddle your horses, and buy them hay But if Candlemas Day be stormy and black, It carries the winter away on its back. If Candlemas be fair and clear,   there'll be two winters in the year. If Candlemas Day be fair and bright Winter will have another flight. If Candlemas Day be cloud and rain, Then Winter will not come again As for the garden, in the middle ages, your Christmas greenery could be left up until Candlemas - but then it needed to come down. And in England, the Snowdrop blooms in February, and this is reflected in the common names “Fair Maid of February” and “Candlemas Bells.”   Hence the verse: The snowdrop, in purest white array,  First rears it head on Candlemas Day. And, if you were tempted to bring some cut snowdrops in the House before Candlemas, you probably wouldn’t have - because that was considered bad luck. And it should be noted that snowdrops are stronger than we give them credit for; they contain a natural antifreeze, which helps them survive in freezing weather. Over the centuries, the forecast of Candlemas was shared differently across Europe. In France and England, a bear would tell the forecast, and the Germans look to the badger for signs of spring. When German immigrants in Pennsylvania were looking to maintain the custom, they turned to the groundhog - a creature (unlike the badger) that was relatively easy to find and easy to catch. In the United States, the first Groundhog Day was celebrated in Gobbler’s Knob, Pennsylvania, on this day in 1887. Today the mother of all Groundhog Celebrations is held in Punxsutawney with the groundhog Punxsutawney Phil the star attraction. If you’re looking to celebrate Candlemas, you can always light a candle in your garden tonight and invite spring and the sunshine back into your life.   Unearthed Words The yard surrounding Karen Harwell’s home is only six hundred square feet, yet it harbors ducks, a beehive, eighteen semi-dwarf fruit trees, an organic vegetable garden, calming places to sit and read and think, and neighborhood teenagers. The teens visit summer, the dog, and sit in the rabbit hutch, hold the baby rabbits, and conduct that archaic form of social networking: talk. “I wake up in the morning and I throw on my vest over my nightgown and then summer and I head out the front door and we just walk around the garden noticing things. It’s just a wonderful way to start the day,” Harwell said, as she escorted me around her minifarm. — Richard Louv, American author and Audubon Medal Winner, The Nature Principle, The Nature Principle at Home   Grow That Garden Library How to Propagate 375 Plants by Richard Rosenfeld This book came out in 2018, and the subtitle is A Practical Guide to Propagating Your Own Flowers, Foliage Plants, Trees, Shrubs, Climbers, Wet-Loving Plants, Bog and Water Plants, Vegetables and Herbs.

The English illustrator Cicely Mary Barker painted a flower fairy for the fair maids of February, the snowdrops, and she called it the Snowdrop Fairy. Cicely loved wildflowers, but she didn't believe in fairies. In the foreword to Flower Fairies of the Wayside, Barker wrote: "I have drawn all the plants and flowers carefully, from real ones, but I have never seen a fairy..." Today, Cicely is remembered for her depictions of fairies and flowers. In  Cicely's fabulous fantasy world, every flower was granted its particular Fairy to protect it from harm.  Cicely would draw the flowers and the fairies and then write poetry about them. There’s a lovely website called Flower Fairies, which has organized Cicely’s fairies by season. For winter, there are fairies for these plants:  Snowdrop,  Groundsel,  Dead Nettle,  Shepherd's Purse Spindle Berry Old Man's Beard, Yew,  Lords-and-Ladies, Holly, Blackthorne, Pine Tree, Box Tree, Rush Grass And Cotton Grass, The Plane Tree, Burdock, Winter Jasmine, The Hazel-Catkin, Totter Grass,  Winter Aconite,  And The Christmas Tree. In any case, here’s what Cicely wrote about the Snowdrop Fairy. Deep sleeps the Winter, Cold, wet, and grey; Surely all the world is dead; Spring is far away. Wait! the world shall waken; It is not dead, for lo, The Fair Maids of February Stand in the snow!   Thanks for listening to The Daily Gardener. And remember: "For a happy, healthy life, garden every day."

Matthew and Tess can't afford to hire a maid at all, but they still sort of get where Will's coming from when the maid he hires to help Grace get through a rough patch at work. Also: Sean Hayes runs into a window. It's phenomenal.
