Selected Piano Works of Helen C. Crane - Book Two - Advanced: American composer

Selected Piano Works of Helen C. Crane - Book Two - Advanced: American composer

Bernard R. Crane

Grenier Hall Publishing

nidottu
Recently re-discovered composer Helen C. Crane (1868-1930) makes her 21st century debut with this collection of her piano works. A talented student of music, Ms. Crane was chosen to study composition in the 1890s with Philipp Scharwenka, pianist, composer and then director of the Klindworth-Scharwenka Conservatory in Berlin, Germany. Here she studied alongside later notables like Otto Klemperer who was one of her contemporaries. With the completion of studies her budding career was met with numerous accolades and acceptance into the various German & Austrian publishing houses: among these Breitkopf & Hertel, Gustav Vetter, and Ries & Erler. On one of her trips home to the States (April of 1900) she premiered several of her pieces at Mendellsohn Hall in NYC and herself conducted an American premier of her orchestral tone-poem "The Last Tournament", based upon the same named chapter of Alfred Lord Tennyson's "The Idylls Of The King" Her career was marked with well-met premiers in Germany and Austria and she was honored to have her music performed by the Berlin Philharmonic at the St. Louis Exposition in 1904. Her career appeared quite vibrant until the First World War brought it all to a close. She returned to the United States in 1917 where in spite of the horrific turn of events she once again was the recipient of an award: this time American. Federated Music Clubs awarded her first prize for her composition "Elegy for Cello". In the last decade of her life (1923) indicative of her success and her abiding appreciation to German-Austrian audiences, she was gifted an "all-Helen Crane" concert at the Mozarteum in Salzberg, with Dr. Bernhard Paumgartner conducting. She passed in November of 1930 at her home in Scarsdale, NY. She accomplished a great deal in her four-decade career, her music encompassing 71 numbered works: music for piano, violin, cello, string quartets, tone-poems for orchestra, art songs, works for choir as well as for orchestra and chorus and two symphonies. Her piano music gives a unique insight into her marvelous talent and reveals a heretofore unheard American strain: the unique marriage of Helen Crane's American taste and sensibilities and her German conservatory training. It is apparent upon playing and/or listening to her music that here was fertile ground for the blossoming of all manner of future American music styles, from music for the cinema to jazz and unique styles of George Gershwin and perhaps Irving Berlin.

Wordsworth and Helen Maria Williams; or, the Perils of Sensibility

Wordsworth and Helen Maria Williams; or, the Perils of Sensibility

Richard Gravil

Humanities - Ebooks.co.uk
2010
pokkari
This book examines the connection between William Wordsworth and the work of Helen Maria Williams and the effect this connection may have had on his reception by such hostile critics as Francis Jeffrey. Why did Wordsworth write his first published poem to Helen Maria Williams? What role did she play in forming his views of poetry, and of the French Revolution? Why was Wordsworth able to recite in 1820 a poem by Miss Williams that he first read in 1790? Was his own poetical sensibility comparable with that of the older woman? Did the reception of Wordsworth's Poems, in Two Volumes by Francis Jeffrey and others -as 'puerile', 'namby-pamby', 'lisping' and 'affected' - reflect a belief that manly sense and feminine sensibility, are not compatible? If so, why did Wordsworth run that risk? This little book attempts to suggest answers to some of those questions, and to provoke more systematic considerations of them all, and of Wordsworth's daring reconfiguration of 'manliness'.

More for Helen of Troy

More for Helen of Troy

Simon Mundy

Seren
2012
nidottu
Simon Mundy's new collection of poems is inspired by the landscapes of Powys, Italy, and a number of islands all over the world – Grenada, Jamaica, Shetland. And as the title suggests, More for Helen of Troy is concerned with desire: for the ideal of a beautiful woman in 'Mermaid'; for the vision of a pristine country and seaside, as in 'Radnor Songs' and 'Aspects of Sea'. As in the Trojan title sequence, these poems are both poignantly lyrical in depicting our pursuit of lofty ideals, and keenly satirical of life's inevitable disappointments. Helen proves to be an imago for women from all times: pursued, desired, lonely, restless, she haunts the poet's imagination throughout."The poems are always entertaining for their formal play and their lively lingo. Mundy can be cheeky, he can be rueful but he is always passionate." Daljit NagraSimon Mundy has broadcast for over thirty years on BBC Radio 3 and 4, and was the founder of the European Forum for the Arts and Heritage (now Culture Action Europe). He has written three poetry collections, three novels (two as James Eno) – most recently Silent Movements (2008) – and several biographies of classical musicians, including Elgar, Purcell and Tchaikovsky. He has read his work all over the world, from the Hay Festival to Brisbane. He lives in the border hills of Wales.

ABOUT THE DAZZLING UNIVERSE OF HELEN FOX by Tom RichardsIn 1976, Doug Masters, a young pilot, is flying a Lear Jet to an Alaskan airport. When he encounters a strange object that almost destroys his jet and realizes it's a UFO, he vows never to tell anyone. Yet, when he begins to dream about a young woman he'll meet someday, and a silent voice whispers in his head about a future of both happiness and global tragedy, Doug at first thinks he's insane. What follows is an encounter not only with the young woman of his dreams but also an experience that makes him realize that his dream was reality not fiction-one which takes him, as well as the woman, on a voyage to outer space.Years later, Helen Fox, a thirty-two-year-old Irish woman, becomes pregnant in Ireland and is simultaneously operated on for cancer, resulting in the horrific stillbirth of her infant. Fleeing Ireland, she flies to New York City. Onboard that airplane, she meets Doug Martin, a co-pilot for United Airlines. They fall in love and, after only a few days, Doug asks her to marry him. Following a horrific accident during which Doug is the pilot-in-command of a stricken passenger aircraft, half the passengers die and half survive. Suffering from life-threatening injuries due to the violent crash, he experiences nightmares and related symptoms due to Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. Helen visits him in the hospital and realizes that his symptoms are not only the result of the accident but also due to a woman she also had heard whisper silently in her head, just like Doug. Both of them soon experience the inexplicable. First that silent voice, then a Lady who is much more than a woman, visits them both in their dreams. But it turns out that the dreams are actually reality. They find themselves aboard a NASA space vehicle near the Centauri Galaxy. Alone and without oxygen, food or water, an alien intergalactic spaceship rescues them. Soon, Helen and Doug learn that the beings who saved them are from the planet Gaia near the Centauri Galaxy. The Royal Queen and her Consort take them to that planet. There, Helen and Doug are married. But they learn that when the Queen dies Helen will become the next Royal Queen of the planet Gaia. It is up to Helen and Doug to save the Earth from annihilation. The Dazzling Universe of Helen Fox is a story first about space travel to a distant galaxy-and a dystopian view of what the world might turn into if humankind lets it.

There's no denying that Helen Thomas was a larger-than-life personality, but more importantly, she was a trailblazer for women in journalism. Professionally, she reported on more presidential administrations than anyone in history, and she rightfully earned her place--front row, center--as the Dean of the White House Press Corps. However, later in her life, Helen made some regrettable comments that subsequently ended her illustrious career and tarnished her reputation.From her rise to the top of the political journalism ladder to her unceremonious downfall, there was one constant and that was Diane Nine. She was by Helen's side through thick and thin as her literary agent and her close friend for more than 30 years.In My Life With Helen, readers learn for the first time what was going on behind the scenes after Helen's fall from grace and how Diane struggled to come to terms with the media frenzy that followed. Maybe things do happen for a reason. That's for the reader to decide. There's no denying that Helen was a force to be reckoned with, but more importantly, she was human, flaws and all.
