The greater part of the Gothic, Matthias Cathedral, dates back to the 19th century but of the 16th century buildings, only their foundations remain. Following its original construction in the 14th century, Matthias Cathedral became the setting of several royal coronations. Due to numerous military conflicts, the entire Gothic area of the city was destroyed. The buildings and facades that can be seen today belong mainly to the Hungarian Baroque era. Deep underground, a several kilometre long maze cuts through the citys hill. The basements of many buildings are connected to this tunnel system, therefore allowing visitors easy access to a seemingly never-ending system of fascinating passages. The Turkish conquerors used these subterranean passages and caves, that were created among thermal springs and waterways, and extended them for military use. During the hours of evening, Budas streets and archways radiate a magnificent light that is a wonderful contrast to the wonderful ambience of this city during the day.

An independent kingdom for much of its long history, Korea was occupied by Japan in 1905 following the Russo-Japanese War. Five years later, Japan formally annexed the entire peninsula. Following World War II, Korea was split with the northern half coming under Soviet-sponsored Communist domination. After failing in the Korean War (1950-53) to conquer the US-backed Republic of Korea (ROK) in the southern portion by force, North Korea (DPRK), under its founder President KIM Il Sung, adopted a policy of ostensible diplomatic and economic "self-reliance" as a check against excessive Soviet or Communist Chinese influence. The DPRK demonized the US as the ultimate threat to its social system through state-funded propaganda, and molded political, economic, and military policies around the core ideological objective of eventual unification of Korea under Pyongyangs control. KIMs son, the current ruler KIM Jong Il, was officially designated as his fathers successor in 1980, assuming a growing political and managerial role until the elder KIMs death in 1994. After decades of economic mismanagement and resource misallocation, the DPRK since the mid-1990s has relied heavily on international aid to feed its population while continuing to expend resources to maintain an army of approximately 1 million. North Koreas history of regional military provocations, proliferation of military-related items, and long-range missile development - as well as its nuclear, chemical, and biological weapons programs and massive conventional armed forces - are of major concern to the international community. In December 2002, following revelations that the DPRK was pursuing a nuclear weapons program based on enriched uranium in violation of a 1994 agreement with the US to freeze and ultimately dismantle its existing plutonium-based program, North Korea expelled monitors from the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). In January 2003, it declared its withdrawal from the international Non-Proliferation Treaty. In mid-2003 Pyongyang announced it had completed the reprocessing of spent nuclear fuel rods (to extract weapons-grade plutonium) and was developing a "nuclear deterrent." Beginning in August 2003, North Korea, China, Japan, Russia, South Korea, and the US have participated in the Six-Party Talks aimed at resolving the stalemate over the DPRKs nuclear programs. North Korea pulled out of the talks in November 2005. It test-fired ballistic missiles in July 2006 and conducted a nuclear test in October 2006. North Korea returned to the Six-Party Talks in December 2006 and subsequently signed two agreements on denuclearization. The 13 February 2007 Initial Actions Agreement shut down the Norths nuclear facilities at Yongbyon in July 2007. In the 3 October 2007 Second Phase Actions Agreement, Pyongyang pledged to disable those facilities and provide a correct and complete declaration of its nuclear programs.

Ive found one more video (that somehow got stuck on my wifes camera) from the Hong Kong Welsh Male Voice Choirs end of season party at Helena May. Definitely the last one. This tune, very popular with Welsh choirs, was written by Caradog Roberts (1878 - 1935), who was from the village of Rhosllanerchrugog in Denbighshire, Wales. He began a career as a carpenter, but soon realised that he was a talented musician. He graduated from Oxford University in 1905, becoming the youngest person ever to become a doctor of music. Rachie (Rachel) was his daughter. The lyrics are by Henry Lloyd (1870 - 1946), better known by his bardic name of "Ap Hefin". Lyrics ...I bob un sydd ffyddlon ...Dan ei faner Ef, ...Mae gan Iesu goron ...Fry yn Nheyrnas Nef Lluoedd Duw a Satan, Sydd yn cwrdd yn awr. Mae gan blant eu cyfran Yn y rhyfel mawr. (Chorus) Awn i gwrdd y gelyn, Bawb ag arfau glân; Uffern sydd in herbyn Ai phicellau tân. Gwasgwn yn y rhengau, Ac edrychwn fry; Concrwr byd ac angau Acw sydd on tu! (Chorus) Haleliwia, Haleliwia Moliant iddo byth amen Haleliwia, Haleliwia Moliant iddo byth amen English translation To everyone who is faithful Under his banner, Jesus has a crown Up in the kingdom of Heaven. The forces of God and Satan Are now meeting The children have their contribution In the great war. To everyone who is faithful Under his banner, Jesus has a crown Up in the kingdom of Heaven. Well go meet the enemy Everyone with holy weapons; Hell is against us With its pikes of fire. Well squeeze into the ranks And well look up; The conqueror of the world and death Is all around us Here it is, conducted by our musical director, Bryan Carter.

The Philadelphia Orchestra/Eugene Ormandy 1959 ================================ 2nd movement Adagio di molto Violin Concerto in D minor, Op. 47 Jean Sibelius Genre Concerto Work Type Violin Concerto Composition Date 1903-1904 Revision Date 1905 First Performance Feb 8, 1904 Sibelius had a less than high regard for virtuoso violinists or for many of the works written for them. In his concerto, he manages to strike an ideal balance between instrumental brilliance and the more purely musical, structural, and emotional values. At one point he gave a pupil some advice about writing concertos, saying that one should be aware of the audiences patience (and the stupidity of many soloists!) and avoid long, purely orchestral passages. He certainly took his own advice, as the violinist takes up the expressive main theme of the first movement in the fourth bar, and rarely relinquishes center stage for the remainder of the concertos half-hour duration. The opening movement, cast in first-movement sonata form, contrasts passages of restraint and melancholy with passages of great force and intensity. One unusual feature is the mid-movement cadenza for the soloist, which shares some qualities with like passages in the great virtuoso concertos of the nineteenth century, but is more substantial and more fully integrated into the overall form of the piece. Wind duets start the slow second movement, after which the soloist takes up the lush, almost Tchaikovskian main melody. Later in the movement the violinist is called on to play a fiendish two-part counterpoint. This is but one of the numerous technical hurdles the soloist must conquer in this work; many more arise in the brilliant, dance-like third movement, with its insistent rhythm and the folk-like cast of its melodies. The excitement and momentum carry through to the very end of the work. //-allmusic/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=42 43860~T1 ================================ Related information Second movement The second movement (Adagio di Molto) is very lyrical. A short introduction by two clarinets leads into a singing solo part over pizzicato strings. Beautifully dissonant accompaniments by the brass dominate the first part of the song-like movement. The remarkable middle section has the solo violin playing ascending broken octaves, with the flute as the main voice of the accompaniment, playing descending notes simultaneously. //en.wikipedia/wiki/Violin_Concerto_(Sibelius) The Violin Concerto in D minor, Op. 47 was written by Jean Sibelius in 1903 History Sibelius originally dedicated the concerto to the noted violinist Willy Burmester, who promised to play the concerto in Berlin. For financial reasons, Sibelius decided to premiere it in Helsinki, and since Burmester was unavailable to travel to Finland, Sibelius engaged Victor Novacek, a violin teacher at the Helsinki Conservatory. The initial version of the concerto premiered in 1903, with Sibelius conducting. Novacek played poorly and the premiere performance was a disaster.[1] Sibelius withheld this version from publication and made substantial revisions. He deleted much material he felt did not work. The new version premiered in 1905 with Richard Strauss conducting the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra. Sibelius was not in attendance. Willy Burmester was again asked to be the soloist, but he was again unavailable, so the performance went ahead without him, the orchestras leader Karel Halíř stepping into the soloists shoes. Burmester was so offended that he refused ever to play the concerto, and Sibelius re-dedicated it to the Hungarian "wunderkind" Ferenc von Vecsey[2], who was aged only 12 at the time. Vecsey championed the Sibelius concerto, first performing at when he was only 13[3], although he could not adequately cope with the extraordinary technical demands of the work.[4] The initial version was noticeably more demanding on the advanced skills of the soloist. It was revived in the early 1990s when Sibeliuss heirs permitted one live performance and one recording, on the BIS record label; both were played by Leonidas Kavakos. The revised version still requires a considerably high level of technical facility on the part of the soloist. //en.wikipedia/wiki/Violin_Concerto_(Sibelius) ================================ *Note Support the artist, their families and their legacy by purchasing their music.

Please feel free to add this video to your genealogy web site. "Watch in high quality" is recommended. In 2008 we took a visit to Over Peover in Cheshire in search of Peover Hall where the Mainwarings lived. Here we show the original site of the old Hall, the present Peover Hall, its Gardens, St. Lawrence Church and the Stables. THE MAINWARING NAME In 1066 AD William the Conqueror invaded England and became King of England. Helping him subdue the English were 2 brothers, Ranulphus de Mesnilwarin & William de Warrene (1st Earl of Surrey). In return for services to the King, Ranulphus de Mesnilwaring was given 15 Lordships including Over Peover, Nr. Knutsford, Cheshire. It is from Ranulpus de Mesnilwarin that Mainwarings claim descent. The name Mesnilwarin is Norman, derived from Mesnil (or dwelling) in the town of Warin (Varenne in Normandy, France). Living in England it became Main-waring, meaning the house (or Maison) of the Warings (ie. Peover) in Cheshire. There are 131 documented spellings of Mainwaring, Manwaring, Mannering, Manring etc. Ranulphus de Mesnilwarin (Mainwaring) and his descendants remained at Over Peover from 1066 - 1919 THE ORIGINAL MOATED HALL From 1066 to 1585 the Mainwarings would have lived in a half timbered structure which would have stood about 700 feet from todays Peover Hall. Its Moat still survives today, though the old Halls outline can still be seen on the hottest days of Summer. How long the structure continued to stand after the new Hall was undertaken is not known. But its Gatehouse was destroyed by fire in 1683. PEOVER HALL The new Peover Hall was built in 1585 and Mainwarings stayed until 1919 when it was sold to a Mr. Peel, 1925 it was repossessed for unpaid Taxes, 1940 sold to Mr. Brooks (present owner), 1944 General Patton of US Army was based here as was Darwin Manwaringss father Clarence also of the US Army. In 1950 it was handed back to the Brooks family.When the Brooks family got the house back in 1950 it was a shell an desperate need of an overhaul. The restoration took 10 years to complete. Above the door is an ass head and the Mainwaring moto "Devant si je puis" or "Forward if I can" and a Heraldic panel dated 1585. The Great Hall is a must to see. There are suits of armour and weapons perched above the fireplace and paintings (Sir Henry Mainwaring c. 1760 & Sir Philip Mainwaring c. 1634) which belonged to the Mainwaring family. Also Cromwells boot and a Preists hole which extends from the cellar to the top of the house. Some of the panelling and the roof of the Great Hall is original and some panelling and book cases have come from local demolished houses including other Mainwaring Halls. THE GARDENS The Gardens are large with topiary work and herb gardens, formal and laid out between 1890 and 1905 for Sir Philip Tatton Mainwaring. They were remodelled by Hubert Worthington during the 1920s and were further developed in the 1960s by the Brooks family. There is an avenue of pleached Limes, a circular lawn, Yew hedges. a rose garden, a white garden, a pink garden and a lily pond with a summer house. The Hall stands in a Landscaped Park possibly designed by William Emes after the alterations to the hall in 1764. ST. LAWRENCE CHUCH St. Lawrence Church can be accessed through Peover Halls walled garden. In the church yard are many Mainwarings buried, plus an ancient preaching cross said to be desecrated by Cromwells soldiers and a sundial erected in memory of John & Edward Mainwaring who drowned at sea in 1717. The Church tower was rebuilt in 1739 and the bells date back to 1626. The porch is the oldest part, built possibly in the 1400s. As we go inside the church we see the American flag still hangs from when General Patton, Clarrence Manwaring and the US Army were based here in 1944. He was a regular worshipper. The Font is 15th century. The stained glass windows are 14th & 15th century. The effigies of Sir John Mainwaring (died 1410) and his wife are here as is Sir Randle (died 1456) and his wifes in the south Chapel built in 1456. The North Chapel was built in memeory of Sir Philip Mainwaring (died 1647) by his wife Dame Ellen. Their effigies are here too. It has become the burial place of many of his descendents, 26 are recorded. THE STABLES Lastly we visit the Carolean Stables which were built in 1654 also by Dame Ellen Mainwaring as a present for her son Thomas, the then Squire of Peover.

The Philadelphia Orchestra/Eugene Ormandy 1959 ================================ Violin Concerto in D minor, Op. 47 Jean Sibelius Genre Concerto Work Type Violin Concerto Composition Date 1903-1904 Revision Date 1905 First Performance Feb 8, 1904 Composition Description by Chris Morrison The Violin Concerto is not the only work Finlands Sibelius wrote for solo violin with orchestra; he wrote a variety of excellent, shorter works including Two Serenades (1913) and Six Humoresques (1917). But the concerto is certainly the most ambitious of all these works. Despite the early enthusiasm of a few violinists — notably Maud Powell, who was the soloist in the American premiere with the New York Philharmonic in 1906 and repeated the work several times on a transcontinental tour — the concerto was slow to catch on with audiences. Not until Jascha Heifetz took up the work and recorded it in the 1930s did the concerto become what it is today, one of the most popular of the national Romantic concerto repertory. The opening movement, cast in first-movement sonata form, contrasts passages of restraint and melancholy with passages of great force and intensity. One unusual feature is the mid-movement cadenza for the soloist, which shares some qualities with like passages in the great virtuoso concertos of the nineteenth century, but is more substantial and more fully integrated into the overall form of the piece. Wind duets start the slow second movement, after which the soloist takes up the lush, almost Tchaikovskian main melody.

The initial version of the concerto premiered in 1903, with Sibelius conducting. Novacek played poorly and the premiere performance was a disaster.[1] [1]^ Madison Symphony Orchestra program notes [edit] First movement The first movement, marked Allegro moderato, opens with a cushion of pianissimo strings pulsating gently. The soloist then enters with a characteristic IV-V-I phrase, in D minor G-A-D. The violin announces the theme and is echoed by clarinet briefly, then continues into developmental material. More low woodwind and timpani accompany the soloist in several runs. Almost cadenza-like arpeggios and double-stops and more runs are accompanied by more woodwind restatements of the theme. The strings then enter brazenly for the first time, announcing a second theme. Developmental material leads to a cadenza which then opens into the recapitulation. The Allegro Molto Vivace coda ends with restatements of past themes. Although this movement is mainly melodic, it is still largely virtuosic. Particularly difficult passages include one where the performer must play and maintain a trill with the 1st and 2nd finger, while playing a second moving line on the next-lower string, with the 3rd and 1st fingers. Additionally, nearly the entire end is made up of octave double-stops, which poses a challenge to many players. Other challenges of this movement include very quick slides from first to seventh position (and sometimes across strings), broken chords played at very fast tempi, double-stopped sixths that must be perfectly in tune for the effect to work, and glissandi with double-stops. ================================ *Note Support the artist, their families and their legacy by purchasing their music. mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

The Great lyric poet Pindar of Thebes composed poems praising Alexander, and he was awarded the title "Filelini", or "Friend of the Greeks". Such an award, incidentally, would acknowledge that Alexander the Macedonian was not a Greek Herodotus tells us that Alexander once went to Olympus to contend in the Pan-Hellenic contests. Knowing that he was from Macedonia, the Greeks wished to exclude him from the games, saying that only Greeks were allowed to contend, and not barbarians." Edwin E.
