The United States has gone, in less than six months, from being seen by many as a defender of democracy and human rights, to being the latest – and most powerful - administration to embrace authoritarianism. Amid a head-spinning flood of presidential orders and harsh policies - towards women, immigrants, the poor, the disabled and the sick, it's hard to know where to focus. In this episode, veteran Turkish journalist and human rights activist Murat Celikkan tells host Akwe Amosu what he has been paying attention to, and reflects on how Turkey's human rights movement has been trying to strengthen its own work.And in the Coda, why a dose of Baroque music might ease your mind.

Synopsis On the popular NPR quiz show Wait Wait Don't Tell Me, there is a segment called “Bluff the Listener” where three outlandish news stories are read to a contestant, who then has to guess which one is true. So, for the voice of Bill Kurtis on your home answering machine, which of these really happened in London on today's date in 1732:a) George Frideric Handel got into a sword fight with his Southbank wigmaker, screaming at the poor man, “Donnervetter! In dis vig I luk like ein Pomeranian hund!”b) Handel's especially smooth trip across the Thames to buy said wig provided the inspiration for his famous Water Music, orc) as part of his 47th birthday celebration, choir boys from the Chapel Royal sang and acted in a staged performance of Handel's sacred oratorio Esther in the Crown and Anchor Tavern on the Strand.If you guessed “C” you would be correct. Extra points if you knew that this would be the only staged performance of any of Handel sacred oratorios before the twentieth century, and that in Handel's day there was a ban on presenting staged biblical dramas in public theaters — but not, apparently, in pubs.Music Played in Today's ProgramGeorge Friedrich Handel (1835-1921): Overture from Esther (1732 version); London Handel Orchestra; Laurence Cummings, conductor; SOMM CD-2389

But for Episode 3, we had much more material than usual.

In this special episode, we welcome the world-renowned harpsichordist Pierre Hantaï for an insightful conversation about his musical journey, his deep connection with Bach, and the art of interpretation. Hantaï shares his thoughts on early music, historically informed performance, and his personal inspirations that shaped his career. The excerpt played by Pierre in the middle of the episode: from Suite in D Minor, HWV 428: IV. Air & 5 variations by George Frideric Handel. This episode was created with the generous support of the Christoph Merian Stiftung.
When the Handel and Haydn Society found records detailing iconic composer George Frideric Handel's ties to the slave trade, it responded in a way only the organization could: through music and performance. Rather than “canceling” the composer or disavowing the history, two of the society's staff members created “Crossing The Deep,” a special concert series showing the parallels between the choral works of Handel and the spirituals of enslaved Africans in America. We speak with creators Dr. Anthony Trecek-King and Reginald Mobley about what's in store for this year's concerts.

E113 de abril de 1742 el salón de conciertos de Dublín, Irlanda, estaba repleto por el público que había acudido a escuchar por primera vez un oratorio compuesto por el célebre músico George Frideric Handel. La música y el canto que resonaron en aquel lugar fueron impresionantes y grandiosos. Poco después, el oratorio fue presentado ante el rey y su corte, y cuando la música y el canto aumentaron gradualmente en intensidad hasta alcanzar un magnífico crescendo en el famoso coro del Aleluya, el rey, profundamente conmovido, se puso de pie y permaneció en esa posición como muestra de su admiración y respeto tanto por el oratorio llamado El Mesías como por su compositor, Handel, quien lo creó para honrar a Jesús, el Mesías. En la actualidad, cada vez que se interpreta El Mesías, el público se levanta de sus asientos cuando el coro comienza a cantar el Aleluya. ¡Es un espectáculo grandioso! Siempre deberíamos actuar con reverencia ante la presencia de Dios. Lamentablemente, esto no siempre se cumple, especialmente por parte de los niños, adolescentes y jóvenes, quienes a veces se distraen durante las diferentes partes del servicio de adoración. Algunos comen, ríen, envían memes o mantienen una conversación con quien está a su lado, acciones que entristecen a los ángeles y distraen a aquellos que desean adorar sinceramente a Dios. Por eso, te invito a reflexionar sobre tu actitud cuando vas al templo de Dios. ¿Vas dispuesto a obedecer y a escuchar su voz? ¿O vas por obligación o por pasar el tiempo? Dios merece todo nuestro respeto y adoración. No se trata solo de asistir físicamente a un lugar de culto, sino de estar mental y espiritualmente preparados para encontrarnos con Dios. No desaproveches la oportunidad de acercarte a él con un corazón sincero y humilde. La Biblia dice: «El Señor está cerca de los que lo invocan, de los que lo invocan con sinceridad» (Salmo 145: 18). Vive cada día con reverencia y gratitud hacia Dios. Hónralo hoy con tu vida y tu adoración.

George Frideric Handel (1685-1759) was a German-British Baroque composer. His most famous work, the 1742 oratorio Messiah with its "Hallelujah" chorus, is among the most popular works in choral music. The text from Messiah was compiled from the King James Bible and the Book of Common Prayer. Handel was born, raised, and trained in German Prussia but settled in England where he spent the bulk of his career and was buried in London’s Westminster Abbey.

Music touches the soul, and one of the most famous musicians of all time was George Frideric Handel. He was a prolific writer of operas and oratorios. Handel's Zadok the Priest has been performed at every British coronation since 1727. His orchestral works Water Music and Music for the Royal Fireworks are also incredibly popular and are often performed at the BBC Proms. But he is probably most famous for his Messiah, an oratorio that is staged all around the world during the Christmas season. The stirring music causes people to leap to their feet, inspired by the magnificent words and harmonies. Join Gary Kent as we find out more about George Frideric Handel and his music, which has changed the world.

For over 50 years, For the Strength of Youth has been a guide for generations of Latter-day Saint youth. I always keep a copy in my pocket, and I share it with people who are curious about our standards. It has been updated and refreshed to better cope with the challenges and temptations of our day. The new version of For the Strength of Youth is available online in 50 different languages and will also be available in print. It will be a significant help for making choices in your life. Please embrace it as your own and share it with your friends. This new version of For the Strength of Youth is subtitled A Guide for Making Choices. To be very clear, the best guide you can possibly have for making choices is Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ is the strength of youth. So the purpose of For the Strength of Youth is to point you to Him. It teaches you eternal truths of His restored gospel—truths about who you are, who He is, and what you can accomplish with His strength. It teaches you how to make righteous choices based on those eternal truths.13 It's also important to know what For the Strength of Youth does not do. It doesn't make decisions for you. It doesn't give you a “yes” or “no” about every choice you might ever face. For the Strength of Youth focuses on the foundation for your choices. It focuses on values, principles, and doctrine instead of every specific behavior. The Lord, through His prophets, has always been guiding us in that direction. He is pleading with us to “increase [our] spiritual capacity to receive revelation.”14 He is inviting us to “hear Him.”15 He is calling us to follow Him in higher and holier ways.16 And we are learning in a similar way every week in Come, Follow Me. -------------------------------------------------------------------- Check out our ACU Patreon page: https://www.patreon.com/ACUPodcast HELP ACU SPREAD THE WORD!

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for October 17, 2024 is: fugacious • fyoo-GAY-shus • adjective Fugacious is a formal word that describes something that lasts only a short time. // The rock band's early success proved fugacious; within two years its members had moved on to other careers. // Savor the enduring pleasures of life as intensely as the fugacious ones. See the entry > Examples: “The Handel & Hendrix [House], on 23 and 25 Brook Street in central London, reopens 18 May.... The 18th century German composer George Frideric Handel called number 25 home for some 36 years, up until his death in 1759. Here, he manufactured hits like coronation/Champions League belter Zadok the Priest, and the Music for the Royal Fireworks with such voraciousness, his manuscripts were often bespattered with food and beer stains. Perhaps you'd equate such sloppiness with Jimi Hendrix; his tenancy in a flat at 23 Brook Street was altogether fugacious; he was only here from 1968-9—though in that time, used it for countless interviews, jam sessions—and referred to it as the only place he ever lived that felt like home.” — Will Noble, The Londonist, 18 May 2023 Did you know? The word fugacious is too rare and unusual to qualify as vanilla, but the vanilla plant itself can be useful for recalling its meaning. Fugacious (which comes from Latin fugax, meaning “swift, fleeting,” and ultimately from fugere, “to run away”) describes the ephemeral—that is, those things in life that last only a brief time before fleeing or fading away. The word is often used to describe immaterial things, such as emotions, but botanists like to apply the word to plant parts (such as seeds, fruits, petals, and leaflets) that are quickly shed or dropped. Vanilla plants, for example, are said to have fugacious blossoms, as their flowers last only a single day during the blooming season. You may remember this the next time you're baking with vanilla, and perhaps wishing that its rich, fugacious aroma would linger just a little bit longer.
rWotD Episode 2707: Gråt Fader Berg och spela Welcome to Random Wiki of the Day, your journey through Wikipedia’s vast and varied content, one random article at a time.The random article for Tuesday, 1 October 2024 is Gråt Fader Berg och spela.Gråt Fader Berg och spela (Cry, Father Berg, and Play) is No. 12 in the Swedish poet and performer Carl Michael Bellman's 1790 song collection, Fredman's Epistles. The epistle is subtitled "Elegi över Slagsmålet på Gröna Lund" ("Elegy on the Battle at Gröna Lund [Tavern]"). It is a lament over a pub brawl, caused by Fredman's drinking a soldier's beer and dancing with someone else's girlfriend. Set to the melody from the aria "The flocks shall leave the mountains" in George Frideric Handel's opera Acis and Galatea, it is the best-known of his poems describing the consequences of brandy-drinking. Bellman used the contrast between the romantic associations of the melody and the brutal reality of heavy drinking to humorous effect.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 00:32 UTC on Tuesday, 1 October 2024.For the full current version of the article, see Gråt Fader Berg och spela 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 standard Matthew.

Jenny Sealey has been the artistic director of Graeae Theatre Company since 1997: Graeae is a deaf and disabled-led company and a leader and innovator in accessible theatre. Jenny has directed opera as well as plays, and was the co-director of the 2012 Paralympic opening ceremony. Jenny was born in Nottingham in 1963, the eldest of four sisters. She lost her hearing at the age of seven following a fall at school in which she banged her head. At that time, deaf children were not encouraged to use British Sign Language, and so she taught herself to lip read, and stayed in a mainstream school, although she often found it challenging. She also continued to take ballet lessons, helped by an inspirational teacher who encouraged her to follow the form and movements of the dancer in front of her. She went on to study dance and choreography at Middlesex Polytechnic.After graduation, Jenny worked as an actor before becoming the artistic director of Graeae. In 2022 she was awarded an OBE for services to disability arts. Most recently she returned to acting and toured the UK with Self Raising, her one-woman autobiographical play. Jenny lives in London with her son and partner. DISC ONE: Handel: Messiah, HWV 56, Pt. 2: No. 44, Chorus. Hallelujah, for the Lord God Omnipotent Reigneth.

SynopsisIn 1724, Feb. 20 fell on a Sunday, and at St. Thomas Church in Leipzig, Jesus nahm zu sich die Zwölfe, or, in English, Jesus Gathered the 12 to Himself, a church cantata by Johann Sebastian Bach, was performed as part of the Sunday service.Meanwhile, on Feb. 20 in London that same year, audiences at the King's Theater in the Haymarket heard the premiere of Giulio Cesare in Egitto or, Julius Caesar in Egypt, a new Italian opera by George Frideric Handel.How interesting to find Bach in church and Handel in the theater, on the same date — but not, as it turns out, on the same day.In 1724, Bach's Germany kept track of time under the Gregorian calendar, but in Handel's England, the older Julian calendar was still used, and so Handel's calendar would say Feb. 20 was a Thursday, while Bach's would say was it was a Sunday. It wasn't until 1752 that England adopted the same calendar that Germany used — the Gregorian one we still use today.In the 18th century, apparently, you didn't need Albert Einstein to remind you that time is a very relative concept!Music Played in Today's ProgramJ.S.

SynopsisNow 18th-century opera is supposed to be a rather staid and stuffy affair. These operas invariably had happy endings, with all the messy human passion and conflicts amicably resolved by the opera's finale.But 18th-century opera could arouse some serious emotion offstage. In 1704, an 18-year-old composer named George Frideric Handel was employed as a violinist and harpsichordist in the orchestra of the Hamburg opera house. He made the acquaintance of another young composer, 23-year-old Johann Mattheson. The two became fast friends until, that is, a December performance of Mattheson's opera Cleopatra, during which Handel refused to turn over the harpsichord to Mattheson.“Hey, it's my opera, after all — move over!” Mattheson must have said, but to no avail. One thing led to another, and the result was a duel. It is said that Handel's life was saved by a button on his coat that deflected one of Mattheson's more lethal sword-thrusts.Thankfully, in the best tradition of 18th-century opera, the two reconciled on today's date in 1704, dining together and attending a Hamburg rehearsal of Handel's first opera, Almira, becoming, as Mattheson put it, “better friends than ever.”Music Played in Today's ProgramGeorge Frederic Handel (1685-1757) Oboe Concerto No. 3; Heinz Holliger, oboe; English Chamber Orchestra; Raymond Leppard, cond.
