The island is home to features like the Apennine Coast, the Adriatic Coast, and the Apennine Mountains. Most of Sardinia's population lives in the capital region of Cagliari, but much of the island remains untouched, offering visitors a glimpse into authentic Italian island life.One of Sardinia's most fascinating distinctions is that the Barbagia region is recognized as a Blue Zone—an area with an unusually high number of centenarians. This longevity is attributed to the region's healthy diet, active lifestyle, and strong sense of community. For outdoor enthusiasts, inland Sardinia offers some of the best biking and hiking experiences in all of Italy.Tourissimo Tip–What is a Blue Zone? https://www.tourissimo.travel/blog/blue-zoneThe island's coastlines are just as enticing. Costa Smeralda is often described as paradise on earth, with stunning beaches like Spiaggia di Tuerredda, Cala Goloritzé, and Spiaggia di Porto Giunco perfect for sunbathing and swimming. Don't miss the La Maddalena Archipelago National Park (Parco Nazionale dell'Arcipelago di La Maddalena), a protected area with crystal-clear waters and pristine landscapes.Charming towns such as Alghero, Bosa, and Cagliari add to the island's appeal. Many of Sardinia's towns are nestled in the mountains located in the island's center, offering a peaceful and scenic escape.Cultural and historical attractions abound. Must-see sites include the Nora Archaeological Park, Bastione di Saint Remy, Parco Archeologico Naturalistico di Santa Cristina, and the Museo Archeologico Nazionale di Cagliari. For an unforgettable natural wonder, venture into the Frecce delle grotte srl and Neptune's Grotto, stunning sea caves accessible by boat or stairs carved into cliffs.Sardinia is also home to a unique ancient civilization. Scattered across the island are over 7,000 nuraghe—megalithic stone structures built during the Nuragic Age (c. 1900–730 BC). These mysterious, tower-like buildings are the island's most iconic symbol, and some scholars believe there were once over 10,000 nuraghe structures in total.Religious architecture also impresses, with highlights like the Cattedrale di Santa Maria Assunta e Santa Cecilia, the Church of the Holy Trinity of Saccargia, and the Basilica di San Simplicio showcasing Sardinia's spiritual and artistic heritage.Sardinian cuisine reflects its mountainous geography. Surprisingly, for an island, the diet leans more toward land-based ingredients than seafood. Signature dishes include Porceddu (roast pig), Fregola (a traditional Sardinian pasta), and the adventurous Casu marzu—a sheep's milk cheese intentionally infested with live maggots and considered a local delicacy. Sardinia also holds 16 one-star Michelin restaurants.To accompany these flavors, try a glass of Cannonau red wine, known for its high polyphenol content and potential health benefits, or the refreshing Vermentino white wine, perfect for warm Mediterranean days.Tourissimo Tip–Magic Trick or Pasta Making? https://www.tourissimo.travel/blog/magic-trick-or-pasta-making From the Alps to the Mediterranean, each Italian region is a world of its own.

The island is home to features like the Apennine Coast, the Adriatic Coast, and the Apennine Mountains. Most of Sardinia's population lives in the capital region of Cagliari, but much of the island remains untouched, offering visitors a glimpse into authentic Italian island life.One of Sardinia's most fascinating distinctions is that the Barbagia region is recognized as a Blue Zone—an area with an unusually high number of centenarians. This longevity is attributed to the region's healthy diet, active lifestyle, and strong sense of community. For outdoor enthusiasts, inland Sardinia offers some of the best biking and hiking experiences in all of Italy.Tourissimo Tip–What is a Blue Zone? https://www.tourissimo.travel/blog/blue-zoneThe island's coastlines are just as enticing. Costa Smeralda is often described as paradise on earth, with stunning beaches like Spiaggia di Tuerredda, Cala Goloritzé, and Spiaggia di Porto Giunco perfect for sunbathing and swimming. Don't miss the La Maddalena Archipelago National Park (Parco Nazionale dell'Arcipelago di La Maddalena), a protected area with crystal-clear waters and pristine landscapes.Charming towns such as Alghero, Bosa, and Cagliari add to the island's appeal. Many of Sardinia's towns are nestled in the mountains located in the island's center, offering a peaceful and scenic escape.Cultural and historical attractions abound. Must-see sites include the Nora Archaeological Park, Bastione di Saint Remy, Parco Archeologico Naturalistico di Santa Cristina, and the Museo Archeologico Nazionale di Cagliari. For an unforgettable natural wonder, venture into the Frecce delle grotte srl and Neptune's Grotto, stunning sea caves accessible by boat or stairs carved into cliffs.Sardinia is also home to a unique ancient civilization. Scattered across the island are over 7,000 nuraghe—megalithic stone structures built during the Nuragic Age (c. 1900–730 BC). These mysterious, tower-like buildings are the island's most iconic symbol, and some scholars believe there were once over 10,000 nuraghe structures in total.Religious architecture also impresses, with highlights like the Cattedrale di Santa Maria Assunta e Santa Cecilia, the Church of the Holy Trinity of Saccargia, and the Basilica di San Simplicio showcasing Sardinia's spiritual and artistic heritage.Sardinian cuisine reflects its mountainous geography. Surprisingly, for an island, the diet leans more toward land-based ingredients than seafood. Signature dishes include Porceddu (roast pig), Fregola (a traditional Sardinian pasta), and the adventurous Casu marzu—a sheep's milk cheese intentionally infested with live maggots and considered a local delicacy. Sardinia also holds 16 one-star Michelin restaurants.To accompany these flavors, try a glass of Cannonau red wine, known for its high polyphenol content and potential health benefits, or the refreshing Vermentino white wine, perfect for warm Mediterranean days.Tourissimo Tip–Magic Trick or Pasta Making? https://www.tourissimo.travel/blog/magic-trick-or-pasta-making From the Alps to the Mediterranean, each Italian region is a world of its own.

Il compositore italiano Ottorino Respighi (1879-1936) è ammirato soprattutto per i suoi poemi sonori incredibilmente abili e magistralmente orchestrati: Gli uccelli, I pini di Roma e Le fontane di Roma. Queste affascinanti opere sono entrate a far parte del repertorio orchestrale popolare. Ma c'è molto di più in Respighi di quanto la maggior parte delle persone sappia. Sapevate, per esempio, che ha studiato orchestrazione in Russia con Nikolaj Rimskij-Korsakov? Sapevate che, dal 1923 al 1936, fu direttore del Conservatorio di Santa Cecilia di Roma, una delle cariche più importanti della musica classica europea? Sì, dovremmo saperne di più. Quindi esploriamo la sua storia. Primi anni di vita e formazione (1879-1900) Ottorino Respighi nacque il 9 luglio 1879 a Bologna da una famiglia di musicisti. Il padre, un insegnante di pianoforte, gli fornì una prima formazione musicale. Respighi studiò violino e viola al Liceo Musicale di Bologna, dove sviluppò anche uno spiccato interesse per la composizione. Studiò composizione con Giuseppe Martucci e in seguito prese lezioni dal celebre compositore e direttore d'orchestra Luigi Torchi, esperto di musica antica. Gli anni formativi e l'influenza russa (1900-1913) Nel 1900 Respighi si recò a San Pietroburgo, in Russia, dove suonò la viola nell'orchestra del Teatro Imperiale Russo. Durante il suo soggiorno in Russia, studiò orchestrazione con Nikolaj Rimskij-Korsakov, la cui influenza avrebbe plasmato in modo significativo lo stile orchestrale colorato e dinamico di Respighi. L'ascesa alla ribalta (1913-1924) La carriera di Respighi ebbe una svolta significativa quando si trasferì a Roma nel 1913 per assumere l'incarico di professore di composizione al Liceo Musicale di Santa Cecilia. La sua opera orchestrale più famosa, Le fontane di Roma, fu eseguita per la prima volta nel 1917 e segnò l'inizio della sua celebre Trilogia Romana. Questa trilogia, che comprende anche I pini di Roma (1924) e Feste romane (1928), consolidò la reputazione di Respighi come maestro dell'orchestrazione. Apice della carriera e del successo internazionale (1924-1936) La fama di Respighi continuò a crescere per tutti gli anni '20 e '30. Compose in modo prolifico, creando opere che mostravano il suo profondo interesse sia per le moderne tecniche orchestrali che per la musica antica. Il suo balletto La Boutique Fantastique (1919), basato su musiche di Rossini, e l'opera La Fiamma (1934) furono accolti molto bene. Respighi approfondì anche la ricerca musicologica, componendo opere ispirate alla musica antica e barocca, come Antiche Arie e Danze e Gli uccelli. Gli ultimi anni e l'eredità (1923-1936) Gli ultimi anni di Respighi furono caratterizzati da una continua attività compositiva e didattica. Nel 1923 diventò direttore del Conservatorio di Santa Cecilia di Roma, incarico che mantenne fino alla morte. Nonostante il suo successo, rimase umile e dedito ai suoi studenti e alla musica. Ottorino Respighi si spense il 18 aprile 1936 a Roma, lasciando una ricca eredità di musica orchestrale e vocale. La musica di Respighi è celebrata per la sua vibrante orchestrazione e la sua capacità di evocare immagini e atmosfere vivide. Le sue opere rimangono punti fermi nel repertorio concertistico, ammirate per la loro innovativa fusione di elementi moderni e storici. Musiche di Ottorino Respighi da ascoltare Antiche Arie e Danze (poema sinfonico) Feste Romane (poema sinfonico) La Primavera (oratorio) Gli uccelli (poema sinfonico) Le fontane di Roma (poema sinfonico) I pini di Roma (poema sinfonico) Trittico botticelliano (poema sinfonico)

El 22 de noviembre día de Santa Cecilia, patrona de los músicos y poetas, se lanzó “Fe” el nuevo disco de Florencia Núñez.“Fe” es un álbum de momentos vibrantes y de profunda reflexión. En sus letras comparte cómo se para ante la vida, con un pie firme sobre las raíces y el otro apuntando hacia nuevos territorios, con la mirada puesta en el horizonte y una exploración constante del ser. Producido en sociedad con Guillermo Berta y contó con la participación especial en dos canciones clave de Gustavo Guerrero, productor venezolano ganador de múltiples Latin Grammy. La obra también destaca por sus colaboraciones con grandes artistas de la música latinoamericana: Jorge Drexler, Laura Canoura y Raly Barrionuevo, quienes suman su talento a este proyecto con el fin de darle aún más profundidad y diversidad a las composiciones de “Fe”. Además, Luciano Supervielle ha estado a cargo de los arreglos y dirección de cuerdas en tres canciones, aportando belleza, delicadeza y emoción cuando la canción así lo requiere. Este trabajo que está en todas las plataformas digitales y que tendrá su edición en formato físico, se presentará oficialmente el 7 de junio en el Teatro Solís.

Ahir dia 6, dia festiu per la Constitució Espanyola, em vaig acostar, 39 dies després de la catàstrofe, a la localitat de Paiporta, una de les localitats més castigades per la Dana. En vaig trovar i comprovar la petjada deixada pel pas de la mort. Els carrers ja són transitables, però les vivendes planta baixa i comerços, en ruïna. Militars en missió de neteja, ONGS amb gent arribada de tota Espanya i estranger, netejant cases i baixos, així com reparant instal·lacions elèctriques o, lo que vinga bé, tot domèstic. Gent jove, arribada de tots els llocs del país, passaran tot el pont festiu netejant. Unió de dos ONGS, netejant l'auditori de la Societat Primitiva de Paiporta, la qual, s'ha quedat sense instruments algun, solament les butaques cobertes de fang i la imatge de Santa Cecilia. Infinitat de veïns, sense cap moble, aixó sí, reparant les seues portes que donen al carrer. Garatge subterrani comunitari, encara ple de fang fins al carrer, amb els cotxes en el interior, esperant que els lleven els gasos tòxics generats, per a després, traure el fang i veure si l'edifici pot aguantar. L'ONG del cuiner José Andrés, repartint caixes de Nadal a tots els que s'acosten al seu lloc de repartiment; he parlat amb un veí de Paiporta que estava arreplegant una caixa de nadal, ha perdut a la seua dona i filla, s'ha quedat sols,… tot això i moltíssimes coses més, estava ocorrent pels carrers de Paiporta, tot, en un dia que se celebrava la Constitució Espanyola, trenta-nou dies després de la catàstrofe. Ah! havia de ser súper ràpid l’ajuda econòmica. Deien els polítics. Encara no han rebut cap. Amb el següent reportatge, poden veure imatges i escoltar molts testimoniatges de voluntaris i afectats; sobretot, la situació esquinçadora del veí que ha perdut a la seua dona i filla.

El 8 de diciembre estará junto a la banda de Beniaján en la sala Narciso Yepes del Auditorio de Murcia.con una propuesta centrada en los compositores valencianos. El 15 de diciembre estarán en Archena con música de Navidad.

El próximo sábado 30 de noviembre, la banda termina los actos en honor a Santa Cecilia con su tradicional concierto.

El 22 de noviembre se celebra el Día Internacional de la Música, como una fecha dedicada a todos los músicos y amantes de la música. Esta fecha también se conoce como Día Internacional del Músico y en muchos países se celebra el 1 de octubre. Sirvan ambas fechas para rendir homenaje al arte de la música. ¿Y a quién no le gusta la música? Es prácticamente imposible encontrar a un ser humano que no disfrute con la música. Otra cosa diferente es el estilo de música. Pero en general a todos nos agrada. Y el motivo no es otro que el hecho de que lo llevamos en los genes. Así que ya sea rock, clásica, country, jazz, pop, seguro que te resulta agradable escuchar una melodía bonita. Por ello, se celebra este Día Internacional del Músico o Día Internacional de la Música. La fecha del 22 de noviembre conmemora la muerte de Santa Cecilia, patrona de los músicos. Esta mártir cristiana fue retratada en el siglo XV por los artistas de la época, siempre tocando el arpa u otros instrumentos musicales. Por ello se le ha vinculado tanto a este arte de la música. 1934.- Comienza su vuelo a África el ingeniero y piloto Ramón Torres, primer aviador español que cruzó el Sahara. 1943.- Líbano obtiene la independencia. 1955.- La URSS hace estallar en Siberia una bomba de hidrógeno. 1966.- Las Cortes españolas aprueban por aclamación la Ley Orgánica del Estado, que modifica la legislación política. 1975.- Juan Carlos I de Borbón jura como rey de España. 2000.- Detectado en Galicia el primer caso de "vacas locas" en España. 2005.- El Bundestag elige a la conservadora Ángela Merkel nueva canciller.

En aquel entonces, la anterior rectora de la ULL, Rosa Aguilar Chinea, firmó con la entonces consejera de Sanidad del Gobierno regional, Teresa Cruz Oval, un acuerdo para formalizar un convenio específico de colaboración donde la Consejería se comprometió a facilitar hasta 60 plazas para la realización de las prácticas curriculares externas en los hospitales de Tenerife del SCS, contempladas en el plan de estudios, y a firmar el convenio con anterioridad a enero de 2023. Sin embargo, a fecha de hoy, la Universidad no ha conseguido cubrir la demanda de plazas para realizar las prácticas externas dado que el SCS no las autoriza. “Las prácticas externas darán comienzo en enero y son obligatorias para que el alumnado finalice sus estudios. A pesar de que se trata de una profesión sanitaria (Dietista-Nutricionista), regulada por ley, el SCS no ha tomado medidas para resolver dicha situación con el perjuicio que implica para el estudiantado de la universidad. Asimismo, el alumnado afirma que la Universidad de La Laguna no ha hecho la gestión como es debido, pues “ha tardado cinco años en emprender sus labores” en pro de conseguir la firma del convenio. En este sentido, la ULL ha transmitido que el responsable del bloqueo del convenio es el propio SCS, que se encuentra reticente a recibir al alumnado del Grado, y asegura que en la pasada reunión de la Comisión Mixta, el director del SCS y Viceconsejero de Sanidad, Carlos Gustavo Díaz, se negóa abordar el tema. Por tanto, el alumnado solicita a la ULL “cubrir adecuadamente las necesidades básicas de formación” de su alumnado y “hacerse responsables de su compromiso, junto a la Consejería de Sanidad” del Gobierno de Canarias. Asimismo, solicitan “que se desbloqueen las prácticas externas para que el alumnado del Grado de Nutrición Humana y Dietética pueda realizar sus prácticas externas (y sanitarias) en los hospitales de Tenerife del Servicio Canario de Salud”. Todo el alumnado del Grado en Nutrición, desde el primer hasta el cuarto curso, se ha comprometido a establecer un paro académico hasta que no se oferten las prácticas externas en los hospitales, tal y como se ha acordado en el año 2019. - Entrevista en el programa El Remate de La Diez Capital radio al artista plástico, Pepe Dámaso.

Esta Asociación celebra a lo grande el 50 aniversario de su fundación en el marco de las actividades de Santa Cecilia 2024. Bajo la presidencia de Francisco Muñoz Castaño, el evento incluye la entrega del Premio Santa Cecilia al reconocido compositor José Rafael Pascual Vilaplana. La celebración culminará con el Concierto de Santa Cecilia, el 1 de diciembre a las 19:30 horas en el Teatro Concha Segura.

Santa Cecilia consagró su virginidad a Dios y logró que su esposo lo hiciera también. Después de convertir a mucha gente al catolicismo, la religión verdadera, ambos fueron cruelmente martirizados. Es patrona de los músicos porque, el día de su martirio, cantó alabanzas a Dios.

Patrona de los músicos y los poetas.

Terminamos la semana intentando localizar a nuestro turista musical que, de camino a Togo, se ha perdido en Mali.

Informativo de primera hora de la mañana, en el programa El Remate de La Diez Capital Radio.Hoy se cumplen 1.003 días del cruel ataque e invasión de Rusia a Ucrania. Hoy es viernes 22 de noviembre de 2024. Día Internacional de la Música. El 22 de noviembre se celebra el Día Internacional de la Música, como una fecha dedicada a todos los músicos y amantes de la música. Esta fecha también se conoce como Día Internacional del Músico y en muchos países se celebra el 1 de octubre. Sirvan ambas fechas para rendir homenaje al arte de la música. ¿Y a quién no le gusta la música? Es prácticamente imposible encontrar a un ser humano que no disfrute con la música. Otra cosa diferente es el estilo de música. Pero en general a todos nos agrada. Y el motivo no es otro que el hecho de que lo llevamos en los genes. Así que ya sea rock, clásica, country, jazz, pop, seguro que te resulta agradable escuchar una melodía bonita. Por ello, se celebra este Día Internacional del Músico o Día Internacional de la Música. La fecha del 22 de noviembre conmemora la muerte de Santa Cecilia, patrona de los músicos. Esta mártir cristiana fue retratada en el siglo XV por los artistas de la época, siempre tocando el arpa u otros instrumentos musicales. Por ello se le ha vinculado tanto a este arte de la música. 1934.- Comienza su vuelo a África el ingeniero y piloto Ramón Torres, primer aviador español que cruzó el Sahara. 1943.- Líbano obtiene la independencia. 1955.- La URSS hace estallar en Siberia una bomba de hidrógeno. 1966.- Las Cortes españolas aprueban por aclamación la Ley Orgánica del Estado, que modifica la legislación política. 1975.- Juan Carlos I de Borbón jura como rey de España. 2000.- Detectado en Galicia el primer caso de "vacas locas" en España. 2005.- El Bundestag elige a la conservadora Ángela Merkel nueva canciller.

Santoral para hoy 22 de noviembre: santos Cecilia, Ananías, Marcos, Mauro y Filemón. Los ataques masivos nocturnos en Gaza elevan el número de muertos a más de 44.000. "Mayoría venezolana" en el Parlamento Europeo: ¿Fin del cordón sanitario a la extrema derecha? La Corte Penal Internacional emite órdenes de arresto contra Netanyahu y miembros de Hamás. Sánchez reitera su apoyo al Estado palestino en plena guerra en Gaza y firma varios acuerdos. El Congreso aprueba el paquete fiscal tras una ardua negociación y un compromiso para gravar a las energéticas. Aldama asegura ante el juez que Sánchez pidió conocerle y pagos de comisiones a Santos Cerdán, Ábalos y Koldo. De Aldama, en libertad tras declarar que pagó comisiones: "Que no se preocupe el señor Sánchez, va a tener pruebas" Aldama asegura que Koldo le pidió 50.000 euros para Torres y el ministro anuncia acciones legales. La Eurocámara rechaza debatir en comisión sobre la crisis migratoria en Canarias. Los eurodiputados aprueban no incluirla en el orden del día. La izquierda europea teme que Canarias se convierta en espacio de retención para migrantes. Torres confía en retomar “pronto” las negociaciones con el PP sobre el reparto de menores migrantes no acompañados llegados a Canarias. El objetivo del Estado es alcanzar cuanto antes un acuerdo sobre esta modificación legislativa, en la que se lleva trabajando desde el comienzo de la presente legislatura con el Ejecutivo regional.

Fra loro ci sono persone credenti, il cui percorso vocazionale interroga profondamente loro stessi in primo luogo, e la Chiesa in generale.Davvero sono «né carne, né pesce», come alcuni di loro si sentono non avendo preso impegni per la vita nella consacrazione religiosa o nel matrimonio? Oppure può essere rivolta loro una Parola di vita, che venga a visitarli, accoglierli e raggiungerli nella loro concretezza dell'esistenza?Questo libro racconta esperienze di accompagnamento pastorale delle persone single, e anche opportunità che gli ambienti cattolici offrono per intessere nuove relazioni, nella certezza che la prima e la più importante di queste è quella con Dio.Chiara Bertoglio, nata a Torino nel 1983, concertista di pianoforte e musicologa.

Her secret to success both on and off the stage is prioritizing community and personal relationships and paying everyone she works with living wages. Suzanne Vinnik, a distinguished figure in both classical music and the fashion world, boasts a richly diverse career path.

SynopsisToday's date marks the birthdate in 1928 of Italian composer Ennio Morricone, famous for more than 400 scores he wrote for films and TV.If you're a fan, you already know that he wrote the music for a series of spaghetti western movies like the 1964 classic A Fistful of Dollars, starring Clint Eastwood as a taciturn, sun-burnt, cigar-chomping gunman.If you're an oboist, you've probably played Morricone's haunting Gabriel's Oboe at weddings or funerals. It's a melody originally heard in his soundtrack to the1986 film The Mission.But in a 2006 interview for Dazed magazine, Morricone revealed some things even his fans might not have known: He collected bars of hotel soap as a hobby. And if he hadn't become a composer, he would have liked to have been a professional chess player.He also offered a bit of wise advice when asked about scores that were not successes: “A long time ago, I really loved a film that I was working on and I became too involved. That was kind of unbalanced. It made me realize that you can't love things too much if you want them to work.”Music Played in Today's ProgramEnnio Morricone (1928 - 2020) Gabriel's Oboe, fr “The Mission”; Orchestra dell'Accademia Nazionale di Santa Cecilia; Ennio Morricone, cond.

Torq Resources drilled 557m of .38 g/t Gold, .23% Copper and 56ppm Molybdenum at its Santa Cecilia project in Chile. The project is characterized by both gold epithermal and gold–copper porphyry styles of mineralization and demonstrates geological similarities to multi-million-ounce deposits in the region, such as La Coipa, Cerro Maricunga and the immediately adjacent Caspiche and Cerro Casale gold – copper porphyry deposits, held by Newmont and Barrick. Shawn Wallace, CEO and Chair, stated: “We are extremely pleased with the results from our first two drill holes at Santa Cecilia, which not only intersected mineralization, but higher-grade mineralization than what was drilled historically. We've had high expectations for this project since first seeking to acquire it, and now, in our inaugural drill program, it is already proving its potential to become a world-class gold-copper asset. We look forward to resuming drilling at the project following Chile's winter season, when we will seek to continue to expand the discovery of mineralization at the Cerro del Medio target as well as drill test our high potential copper porphyry targets on the eastern side of the project, nearest to Newmont and Barrick's Caspiche deposit.” Michael Henrichsen, Chief Geological Officer, stated: “Santa Cecilia is a rare project that continues to improve technically as our exploration work advances. To have significantly improved the grade in the first two drill holes demonstrates that we have clear vectors moving us toward our objective of finding the higher-grade causative intrusion at Cerro del Medio. In addition, the delineation of porphyry mineralization at surface at the Pircas Norte and Gemelos Norte targets, within 1.5 km of the Caspiche deposit, provides the Company with excellent undrilled exploration opportunities, which we plan to start testing in Q4.” https://www.torqresources.com/ TSXV: TORQ | OTCQX: TRBMF Press release discussed: https://torqresources.com/news-media/news/2023/torq-drills-557-metres-of-0.38-g-t-gold-0.23-copper-and-56-ppm-molybdenum-substantially-increasing-the-grade-at-santa-cecilia/ Sign up for our free newsletter and receive interview transcripts, stock profiles and investment ideas: http://eepurl.com/cHxJ39 Torq Resources is an MSE sponsor.
