Download or read book A Night at the Opera written by Sir Denis Forman and published by Modern Library. This book was released on 2011-10-05 with total page 980 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Delightful and anti-reverential”—Sunday Times (London) With an encyclopedic knowledge of opera and a delightful dash of irreverence, Sir Denis Forman throws open the world of opera—its structure, composers, conductors, and artists—in this hugely informative guide. A Night at the Opera dissects the eighty-three most popular operas recorded on compact disc, from Cilea's Adriana Lecouvreur to Mozart's Die Zauberflöte. For each opera, Sir Denis details the plot and cast of characters, awarding stars to parts that are “worth looking out for,” “really good,” or, occasionally, “stunning.” He goes on to tell the history of each opera and its early reception. Finally, each work is graded from alpha to gamma (although the Ring cycle gets an “X”), and Sir Denis has no qualms about voicing his opinion: the first act of Fidelio is “a bit of a mess,” while the last scene of Don Giovanni “towers above the comic finales of Figaro and Così and whether or not [it] is Mozart's greatest opera, it is certainly his most powerful finale.” The guide also presents brief biographies of the great composers, conductors, and singers. A glossary of musical terms is included, as well as Operatica, or the essential elements of opera, from the proper place and style of the audience's applause (and boos) to the use of subtitles. A Night at the Opera is for connoisseurs and neophytes alike. It will entertain and inform, delight and (perhaps) infuriate, providing a subject for lively debate and ready reference for years to come.

Download or read book Go Gently into the Night written by William Schneider and published by Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2020-04-15 with total page 179 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: God meant for two soulmates, Bill and Linda, to meet, marry, and spend over fifty-seven years together before God's plan for Linda on earth was at its end, and she went to join Him and Jesus in Heaven. The evening of December 20, 2018, Linda was called to Heaven after losing a three-and-a-half-year battle with Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF). The day after Linda passed, Bill's daughter, Julie, and grandkids were visiting. Julie happened to notice two books by Sarah Young sitting on a shelf under the coffee table. The books had been placed there by Linda. One of the books was Jesus Calling, a book of "Devotions for Every Day of the Year." A ribbon, used as a bookmark, was placed in the book for the date Friday, December 21, the day after Linda died. There was no explanation for the ribbon's being there since Linda had not read from that book for some time, perhaps as much as a year. Bill believed that the ribbon was placed by Linda sometime in the past for him to find on that very day, the day after she died. The devotion for that day, December 21, starts out with the words, "MY PLAN FOR YOUR LIFE is unfolding before you." Bill believed that he was to find that book, Jesus Calling, marked with a ribbon on that page, and that God was reminding him that He had a plan for his life. Almost immediately, Bill said, "I am going to write a book." He believed he received an inspiration from God through Linda to follow a new path for him. This book is about Bill and Linda's life together, how they met, fell in love, and became soulmates, and the many coincidences in their life before and after Linda was to "Go Gently into the Night." They came to call those coincidences, "God Winks."

Download or read book A Season of Night written by Ian McNulty and published by Univ. Press of Mississippi. This book was released on 2009-10-20 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For many months after Hurricane Katrina, life in New Orleans meant negotiating streets strewn with debris and patrolled by the United States Army. Most of the city was without power. Emptied and ruined houses, businesses, schools, and churches stretched for miles through once thriving neighborhoods. Almost immediately, however, die-hard New Orleanians began a homeward journey. A travelogue through this surreal landscape, A Season of Night: New Orleans Life after Katrina offers a deeply intimate, firsthand account of that homecoming. After the floodwaters drained, author Ian McNulty returned to live on the second floor of his wrecked house without electricity or neighbors. For months his sanity was writing this book on a laptop by candlelight. By turns haunting, inspiring, and darkly comic, this memoir offers a behind-the-headlines story of resilience and renewal. From bittersweet camaraderie in the wreckage to depression and violent rampages in the lawless night to the first flickers of cultural revival and the explosive joy of a post-Katrina Mardi Gras, A Season of Night delivers an unprecedented tale from the wounded but always enthralling Crescent City.
