Yakovlev Yak-17

The Yakovlev Yak-17 (Russian: Яковлев Як-17; USAF/DOD designation Type 16, NATO reporting name Feather)Soviet jet fighter. It was developed from the Yak-15, the primary difference being tricycle landing gear. The trainer version, known as the Yak-17UTI (NATO reporting name Magnet),Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-15 beginning in 1950.

Design and development

After the state acceptance trials of the Yak-15 in May 1947 recommended that the aircraft be modified with a tricycle landing gear more suitable for jet-powered aircraft, the Yakovlev design bureau began design of the Yak-15U or Yak-15U-RD-10 (uloochshenny - improved).

The main gear had to be redesigned to place the wheels behind the aircraft's center of gravity. The main gear was moved behind the front spar, and when retracted filled most of the space between the spars. This caused a major redesign of the fuel tanks and reduced their capacity to just 680 liters (150 gallons). This necessitated the addition of two 200-liter (44 imp gal; 53 U.S. gal) drop tanks, which hung under the tip of each wing. The addition of the tip tanks required a redesign of the structure of the wing so that the aircraft could still maintain a load bearing of 12g. The vertical stabilizer was enlarged and a periscope was also added above the windscreen on most series aircraft. Armament, systems, and equipment were virtually unchanged.

Production began in 1948. Total production of all Yak-15 and Yak-17 variants was 717.

Operational history

The Yak-17 was first publicly displayed at the Soviet Aviation Day of 1949, at Tushino Airfield.


Yakovlev Yak-17

In operation, the Yak-17 had most of the same faults as its predecessor, including relatively low speed and range, and an unreliable engine (still based upon the German Junkers Jumo 004) with a complicated starting procedure. On the other hand, its handling was very simple, and similar to popular propeller fighters such as the Yak-3 and Yak-9. This made it an excellent transitional machine to jet fighters. As a result, the trainer version Yak-17UTI accounted for the majority of production, and almost all series-built Yak-17s were of this tandem, dual-control trainer version, which filled an important need in all Soviet air arms.

Surviving Yak-17s can be viewed at the Central Air Force Museum at Monino, outside of Moscow and the Prague Aviation Museum at Kbely Airport, near Prague, Czech Republic. Surviving Yak-17UTIs include one example at the Polish Aviation Museum in Kraków and the Chinese Aviation Museum, near Beijing.

Variants

  * Yak-15U (Yak-15U-RD-10): Improved Yak-15 with tricycle undercarriage and drop tanks, became the prototype of the Yak-17 proper.
  * UTI Yak-17-RD10 (Yak-21T): (No relation to the earlier Yak-17-RD10) Two-seat trainer version of the Yak-15U with long greenhouse canopy over tandem cockpits and tricycle undercarriage.
  * Yak-21T: (T for Tryokhkolyosnoye shassee - "tricycle undercarriage") Alternative designation of the UTI Yak-17-RD10. Unrelated to the earlier Yak-21.
  * Yak-17: Production fighters with tricycle undercarriage.
  * Yak-17UTI: The most-produced variant of the Yak-17, the Yak-17UTI was a tandem-seat, dual-control trainer.UBS machine gun, but this was omitted on series-produced aircraft. In the U.S., this aircraft was known as the "Type 26", and given the ASCC reporting name "Magnet".

Yakovlev Ya-21

The Yakovlev Ya-21, (aka UT-21, No.21 or No.25), was a single-seat high-speed sport aircraft / fighter-trainer designed and built in the Soviet Union in the late 1930s.

Design and development

The Ya-21 was derived from the Yakovlev UT-1, in similar fashion to the Yakovlev AIR-18, by replacing the Shvetsov M-11 radial with an imported 220 hp (160 kW) Renault 6Q-01 inverted 6-cylinder in-line engine. The rear cockpit was enclosed with an aft-sliding canopy, a fixed trousered and spatted undercarriage with spring steel tail-skid was fitted, as well as split flaps and a fixed, forward firing, synchronised 7.62mm ShKAS machine gun in the forward fuselage decking. Plans for re-engining the Ya-25 with a Kossov MG-31F 9-cylinder radial engine were cancelled, due to changing priorities of the customer.

The sole Ya-21 was converted into the No.25 prototype by substituting the imported Renault with a 220 hp (160 kW) Voronezh MV-6 (Renault Bengali copy). The cockpit also differed in having opaque side panels and no sliding hood, with a deeper windshield to house the gunsight.

Production of both the Ya-21 or No.25 was not implemented due to the Yakovlev OKB focusing on combat aircraft, such as the Yakovlev BB-22 and Yakovlev I-26.

Variants

Ya-21 (aka UT-21, No. 21) The sole prototype ( of two intended) fighter-trainer / high-speed sport aircraft powered by a 220 hp (160 kW) Renault 6Q-01 engine. No.25 The Ya-21 converted to have open cockpit and powered by a 220 hp (160 kW) Voronezh MV-6 engine.

1963 Australian federal election

The 1963 Australian federal election was held in Australia on 30 November 1963. All 122 seats in the House of Representatives were up for election. The incumbent Liberal–Country coalition government, led by Prime Minister Sir Robert Menzies, won an increased majority over the opposition Labor Party, led by Arthur Calwell. This was the only time that a Federal Government won a seventh consecutive term in office.

Background

The election was held following the early dissolution of the House of Representatives. The Prime Minister of Australia, Sir Robert Menzies, gave as his reason for calling an election within two years that there was an insufficient working majority in the House.1961 election had been won with a substantially reduced majority of only two seats. One of the consequences of an early House election was that there were separate Senate and House elections until 1974. This became a factor in the Gair Affair.

The Coalition government of the Liberal Party led by Sir Robert Menzies and the Country Party led by John McEwen was returned with a substantially increased majority over the Australian Labor Party led by Arthur Calwell.

Indigenous Australians could vote in federal elections on the same basis as other electors for the first time in this election following an amendment to the Commonwealth Electoral Act becoming law on 1 November. The amendment enfranchised Indigenous people in Western Australia, Queensland and the Northern Territory. Indigenous voting rights in other states had been in place since 1949.

Issues

State aid for non-government schools

The toilets of St Brigid's; the reason for the 1962 school strike and the beginning of state aid to non-government schools.


1963 Australian federal election

The election was notable for the issue of state aid to non-government schools being finally resolved. There was a school strike in Goulburn, New South Wales in 1962. Health officials had requested the installation of three extra toilets at a Catholic primary school. The Catholic Church declared it had no money to install the extra toilets. The archdiocese closed down its schools and sent the children to government schools. Nearly 1,000 children turned up to be enrolled locally and the state schools were unable to accommodate them. The strike received national attention. The Labor premier of New South Wales, Robert Heffron, had promised money for science labs at non-government schools. This policy was overturned by a meeting of the Labor Party's federal executive. Under ALP rules the federal executive had responsibility for party policy when the party's national conference was out of session. Menzies called a snap election with state aid for science blocks and Commonwealth scholarships for students at both government and non-government schools as part of his party's platform. This tended to woo Catholic voters away from the Labor Party which they traditionally supported; the wedge driven between the ALP and its Catholic constituency took nearly a decade to overcome. Most non-government schools were Catholic. The Labor Party suffered a first-preference swing of −2.43% and the loss of ten seats. The Country Party vote was higher than the Democratic Labor Party (DLP) vote for the first time since 1955; the DLP had evolved from the Catholic wing of the ALP. The Liberal Party was, however, not dependent on the state-aid issue to win the election;

North-west Cape communications facility

Naval Communication Station Harold E. Holt, the North-west Cape communications facility which was built in the 1960s

Other key issues in the election included the proposal by the United States to build the North-west Cape communications facility which would support the US nuclear submarine capability. A special federal conference of the ALP was called in March 1963 which, by a narrow margin, supported the base. The Left faction was opposed to a foreign base on Australian soil, especially one which supported America's nuclear weapons capability.

"36 faceless men"


1963 Australian federal election

"36 faceless men"

During the ALP Federal Conference in March 1963, journalist Alan Reid commissioned a photograph of Arthur Calwell and Gough Whitlam standing outside the conference venue at Kingston, a suburb of Canberra. Although Calwell was the Leader of the Opposition in the House of Representatives and Whitlam was his deputy, neither man was eligible to attend the conference, which consisted of six members elected by each state ALP branch. Reid jibed that the ALP was ruled by "36 faceless men" – an accusation that was picked up by Menzies and the Liberal Party in its election propaganda, and is still remembered more than 40 years later.

Assassination of US President Kennedy

The week before the election, on 22 November 1963, John F. Kennedy, the President of the United States, was assassinated. Alister McMullin, President of the Senate, represented Australia at the funeral in Washington.

Death

On February 16, 2011, Shapiro was found frozen to death in his home. His death certificate states the manner of death was an accident, “due to cold environmental temperatures.” An autopsy was done and determined the cause of death to be “atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease and psychiatric illness (type unspecified),” with no further details, although he apparently had a history of erratic behavior and severe psychiatric problems during the last years of his life and, as a result, had been hospitalized several times. At the time his body was discovered, there was no heat in his house and his phone had been turned off.

Double tonic

A double tonic is a chord progression, melodic motion, or shift of level consisting of a "regular back-and-forth motion" in melody similar to Bruno Nettl's pendulum typeintervals, most often a whole tone though may be almost a semitone to a minor third (see pendular thirds).

"Donald MacGillavry"Play : double tonic a whole tone apart, on the upper note (A).

It is extremely common in African music ("Mkwaze mmodzi"Asian music, and European music, including:

  * European Middle Ages music such as "Sumer is Icumen in"
  * Elizabethan popular music such as "The Woods so Wild" and "Dargason"
  * Classical music featuring the regular alternation of tonic-dominant
  * Alternating 'discords' such as in Debussy or Stravinsky
  * Gustav Mahler has also used this kind of musical pendulum motion
  * "Scottish" and European music such as "Donald MacGillavry"
  * Sea shanties and other work songs such as "Drunken Sailor", "Roun' de Corn, Sally", and "Shallow Brown", and in
  * Football chants such as:

"Chel-sea" football crowd chant:

In American music, a rare example of a double-tonic is the spiritual "Rock my Soul" though American popular music began to use the double tonic commonly in the last half of the 1900s,Beck's "Puttin It Down".

Double tonic patterns may be classified as beginning on the lower ("Sumer is Icumen in", "The Woods so Wild", "The Irish Washerwoman") or upper (most Scottish tunes, passamezzo antico, "Roun' de Corn, Sally", "Shallow Brown", "Mkwaze mmodzi") note and may repeat open endedly, though they are often closed through a tonic close, as in :

Am|G|Am-G|Am||

They are also often varied through a binary scheme ending on the dominant then tonic, as in:

Am|G|Am|E|| Am|G|Am-G|Am||

or,


Double tonic

or,

Am|G|Am|E|| Am|G|Am-E|Am||

A variation of this last progression is the passamezzo antico.

The Fool of Quality

Title page to volume five of the first edition

The Fool of Quality; or, The History of Henry, Earl of Moreland (1765–70), a picaresque and sentimental novel by the Irish writer Henry Brooke, is the only one of his works which has enjoyed any great reputation.

Influences

The Fool of Quality, it has been said, was

more deeply stamped with the seal of Rousseau — the Rousseau of the second Discourse and of Émile — than is any other book of the period…Before we can find anything approaching to this keenness of feeling, this revolt against the wrongs of the social system, we have to go forward to the years immediately succeeding the outbreak of the French revolution.

It was also strongly influenced by John Locke's On Education, by the writings of the Christian mystic Jakob Böhme, and by the spirit of the Methodist movement.

Publication history and reception

The Fool of Quality was privately published in 5 volumes in 1765-1770, and a revised edition was published by Edward Johnston in 1776. Reviews were at first unfavourable, but critics quickly came to appreciate the novel's virtues.The History of Henry, Earl of Moreland, abridged and modified by John Wesley, and with a preface by him in which he wrote that the book

perpetually aims at inspiring and increasing every right affection; at the instilling gratitude to God and benevolence to man. And it does this, not by dry, dull, tedious precepts, but by the liveliest examples that can be conceived; by setting before your eyes one of the most beautiful pictures that ever was drawn in the world.

The writer Thomas Day, author of The History of Sandford and Merton, was profoundly influenced by The Fool of Quality; indeed his biographer claims it was the book that appealed to him above all others.Charles Kingsley, whose novel Yeast owes a considerable debt to The Fool of Quality, prepared his own edition of it in 1859. He considered the book "more pure, sacred and eternal than anything since the Faerie Queene".The Fool of Quality's rambling and digressive structure, and the sentimental extravagances which it shares with other novels of sensibility, have prevented it from reaching a wide readership. Many would agree with the critic who, in 1806, noted that


The Fool of Quality

an unnatural elevation is given to the most trifling circumstances and sentiments; every emotion is a rapture or an agony, every person seems to be the deity of the moment who attracts all eyes and all hearts; in short, we are in another world.

Walter Allen went so far as to call it "one of the worst novels ever written, but a remarkable book".

Billardiera variifolia

Billardiera variifolia is a species of flowering plant in the family Pittosporaceae and is endemic to the southwest of Western Australia. It is a twining shrub or climber with elliptic adult leaves and groups of deep purple flowers that fade to blue as they age.

Description

Billardiera variifolia is twining shrub or climber that typically grows to a height of up to 2.5 m (8 ft 2 in) and has both seedling, intermediate and adult leaves on the same plant. Its seedling leaves are egg-shaped and irregularly lobed or toothed, 20–25 mm (0.79–0.98 in) long and 9–11 mm (0.35–0.43 in) wide. Adult leaves are narrowly elliptic, 15–20 mm (0.59–0.79 in) long, 3–4 mm (0.12–0.16 in) wide, sessile and have wavy edges. The flowers are arranged in groups with densely shaggy-hairy, sepal-like bracts 2 mm (0.079 in) long at the base. The sepals are 4.0–5.5 mm (0.16–0.22 in) long, green with purple streaks and shaggy-hairy. The petals are deep purple, fading to blue as they age, spatula-shaped and 10–15 mm (0.39–0.59 in) long. Flowering occurs in from October to December or from January to May and the mature fruit is a spindle-shaped berry 20–24 mm (0.79–0.94 in) long.

Taxonomy

Billardiera variifolia was formally described in 1824 by Augustin Pyramus de Candolle in his Prodromus Systematis Naturalis Regni Vegetabilis.specific epithet (variifolia) means "changeable-leaved".

Distribution and habitat

This species grows in open woodland, often near creeks and in gullies, often with Billardiera drummondii and is found in the Avon Wheatbelt, Esperance Plains, Jarrah Forest, Swan Coastal Plain and Warren bioregions of south-western Western Australia, especially in the Albany and Stirling Ranges areas.


Billardiera fraseri

Billardiera fraseri, commonly known as elegant pronaya,Pittosporaceae and is endemic to the south-west of Western Australia. It is a climber with densely silky-hairy new shoots, leaves and flowers, narrowly elliptic leaves and deep purple or pink flowers arranged in groups.

Description

Billardiera fraseri is a climber with densely silky-hairy new shoots, leaves and flowers. The adult leaves are narrowly elliptic with the edges turned down, 22–28 mm (0.87–1.10 in) long and 3–5 mm (0.12–0.20 in) wide and sessile. The flowers are arranged in sessile groups with leaf-like bracts 7–9 mm (0.28–0.35 in) long at the base. The sepals are narrowly triangular, 6–12 mm (0.24–0.47 in) long and the petals are deep purple or pink, fading as they age, 12–16 mm (0.47–0.63 in) long and spatula-shaped. Flowering occurs from December to February and the mature fruit is a cylinderical berry about 20 mm (0.79 in) long.

Taxonomy

Elegant pronaya was first formally described in 1836 by William Jackson Hooker who gave it the name Spiranthera fraseri in the Botanical Magazine from specimens collected in the Swan River Colony by Charles Fraser.Lindy Cayzer, Michael Crisp and Ian Telford transferred the species to Ballardiera as B. fraseri in Australian Systematic Botany.specific epithet (fraseri) honours the collector of the type specimen.

Distribution and habitat

Big Girl (novel)

Big Girl is a novel by Danielle Steel, published by Delacorte Press on February 23, 2010. The book is Steel's 80th novel.

Synopsis

Big Girl starts out with a couple, Jim and Christine, who marry at an early age. From the beginning, their morals are dubious. Jim really wants them to have a baby boy. Christine also wants a boy, but only because her husband does. They try but end up having a girl. She is born to a narcissistic father who is obsessed with looks and money, and a food- and fitness-obsessed housewife who plays bridge, and who seems to exist to agree with her husband. Both parents are disappointed in their baby girl from the moment she is born. They name her "Victoria", for Queen Victoria — not because, as Victoria believed as a child, she was a queen in her father's eyes, but because the picture Victoria saw of her namesake depicted a "fat and ugly old woman, who resembled one of the dogs she posed with".

As she grows older, Victoria is referred to as a "genetic throwback" to Jim's great-grandmother, known for her overweight, matronly figure, fair looks and "large nose", rather than resembling her dark-haired, dark-eyed parents. Constantly bullied by her parents about her weight, everything changes for Victoria at seven years old when her mother has another baby. It is another girl they name Grace, whom Victoria calls "Gracie". Even though Gracie receives constant favouritism, praise, and adoration, Victoria shows no jealousy and is obsessed with doing everything for her sister from the moment she is born. As the girls grow up and Victoria and Gracie get older, their love for each other is stronger than ever, despite the constant remarks their parents make about Victoria's weight, her chosen career as a teacher, and lack of a husband or boyfriend.


Big Girl (novel)

Victoria moves to New York and lands a job at a prestigious school, although her parents still criticize her. There she gains few friends, but good friends. She tries a few tentative relationships, all of which fail. She blames this on her being "too fat, too clever and unlovable", parroting her parents' beliefs. She sees a psychiatrist, and works through some of her problems but always returns to eating when upset. When Victoria finds out her sister is engaged to a rich, controlling fiancé, Victoria begins to worry her younger sister will turn into her parents.

In the end Victoria finally confronts her parents in regards to their past emotional abuse of her.

Big Girl is the third album by Dutch alto saxophonist Candy Dulfer. Before its release, she had been working mainly with Ulco Bed. But she was impressed by keyboard player Thomas Bank. This album marks the transition between the two producers and has a funkier style that tries to incorporate rap and hip hop into contemporary jazz. The album includes a collaboration with Trijntje Oosterhuis on "Funkyness" before Oosterhuis became widely known as a singer. The album is mainly instrumental.

According to her official biography, the title of the album was an inside joke, referring to her father Hans Dulfer's album Big Boy and indicating that she had grown up and was in charge of her career.

Bir El Hafey

Bir El Hafey (Arabic: بئر الحفي) is a town and commune located at 34°55′48″N 9°12′00″E in the Sidi Bouzid Governorate, in Tunisia (Maghreb, North Africa). As of 2004 it had a population of 6,405.

Bir El Hafey is located about thirty kilometers south of Sidi Bouzid, in the southern foothills of the Tunisian ridge. Attached to the governorate of Sidi Bouzid, it is a municipality with 6,475 inhabitants in 2014. It is also the capital of a delegation.

It is in crossroads position on the Kairouan-Gafsa axis because crossed by the RN3 while being connected to Sidi Bouzid, the chief town of the governorate.

History

Bir El Hafey is the modern site of the Ancient, notably Roman, city of Nara.

H.H. Abdul Wahab identified Bir El Hafey with the medieval city of Jamunis (aka Jamūnis al-Sābūn), one of the main cities of the Qammuda region. Jamunis is first mentioned in the 10th century, when it became the capital of Qammuda under the Zirid dynasty, replacing the nearby city of Madhkur, which had been sacked by the forces of Abu Yazid. However, Jamunis was probably an important city before this. It was the site of a battle in 1030 between the Zirid ruler al-Mu'izz ibn Badis and the Zenata Berbers, which al-Mu'izz won. Jamunis is no longer mentioned after the 11th century, having been sacked by the Banu Hilal.

Al-Bakri described the city of Jamunis as being surrounded by sand and olive trees and having a strong fortress which served as an agadir (granary). He wrote that it was surrounded by many large and prosperous villages. Al-Muqaddasi mentioned the village of Khawr al-Kaf as being among those villages. Jamunis also had many fig and almond orchards, as well as a jami mosque.

Brockhole

For the village in West Yorkshire, see Brockholes. For the nature reserve in Lancashire, see Brockholes (nature reserve).

The Brockhole Lake District Visitor Centre, also known as the Brockhole National Park Visitor Centre, is a visitor centre and tourist attraction managed by the Lake District National Park Authority. It is situated on the shore of Lake Windermere, roughly equidistant between the towns of Bowness-on-Windermere and Ambleside. It includes the Brockhole house and 30 acres (12 ha) of grounds, including 10 acres (4.0 ha) of formal gardens and an adventure playground. The centre organises a number of activities, including orienteering, kayaking and open water swimming, as well as regular exhibitions.

Entrance to the centre and its grounds is free of charge, although a charge is made for car parking.

History

The site that is now the visitor centre was bought in 1896 by William Gaddum, a silk merchant from Manchester, to build a summer house. He had the house built the following year, to a design by the architect Dan Gibson. The gardens were created by Thomas Mawson. Mawson, who is known for his work in the design of gardens during the Arts and Crafts movement, had previously collaborated with Gibson at Graythwaite Hall.

Beatrix Potter was a frequent visitor to the house, and makes reference to it in her Journals. In 1946 William Gaddum died and the house was sold. In 1948 the house was converted into a convalescent home. The Lake District National Park Authority purchased the property in 1966, and in 1969 it was opened as the UK's first National Park Visitor Centre.

Transport links

The centre is situated off the A591 road between Windermere and Ambleside. Stagecoach bus routes 555 (Lancaster to Keswick) and 599 (Bowness-on-Windermere to Grasmere) stop outside the centre. Both these routes also serve Windermere railway station.


Brockhole

In the grounds of the centre is a jetty served by a number of boat services provided by Windermere Lake Cruises between March and October. A passenger launch service runs from Ambleside, returning to Ambleside via Wray Castle on the opposite side of the lake. A second launch service runs from Bowness-on-Windermere, returning to Bowness via Ambleside. A third service, known as the Bike Boat and operated with a boat adapted to carry cycles, shuttles across the lake to and from Bark Barn in Claife.

Brockham Limeworks

Brockham Limeworks is a 45-hectare (110-acre) nature reserve north of Brockham in Surrey. It is owned by Surrey County Council. Part of it is a Scheduled Monument,Mole Gap to Reigate Escarpment Site of Special Scientific InterestSpecial Area of Conservation.

Digging on this former chalk quarry continued on the site until 1936. It had two batteries of lime kilns, which have become roosting sites for bats. Some of the floor of the quarry has become species rich chalk grassland, with plants such as broad-leaved helleborine and pyramidal, common spotted, fragrant and bee orchids.

There is access from The Coombe in Betchworth.

From 1962 the limeworks was home to the Brockham Railway Museum, a collection of narrow-gauge locomotives and rolling stock. A short demonstration line was built. The museum closed in 1982, and most of the exhibits were moved to the Amberley Museum & Heritage Centre.

Bernays Institute

Bernays Institute is a Victorian building in Stanmore, London Borough of Harrow, England, that currently functions as a community event hall, Bernays Memorial Hall.

History

It was built in the old village of Great Stanmore as a parish hall and opened on 8 December 1871 by Lord George Hamilton. Bernays Institute was built as a memorial to Ernest Bernays, eldest son of Reverend Leopold Bernays, who was the rector of Stanmore at the time and chairman of Stanmore Gas Company off Marsh Lane. Ernest died at the age of 22 in a drowning accident on holiday in Ireland on 31 August 1870 - this date is written on the front of the building - he was buried at St John the Evangelist churchyard. The building was built on a plot of glebe land that was sold by Leopold on behalf of the church.

In its early years the hall was often used for Bible classes, concerts and was used by the local temperance society. In 1899 it housed a library. That same decade a working men's club opened beside the building which is still open today.

In 1959 as reported by the Harrow Observer, Harrow Urban District mayor H.W. Cutler called Bernays Institute "an awful dump [..] an eyesore in a pleasant district [..] a shack of the worst architectural design" during a dinner hosted in the institute's honour. Cutler pledged to build a new building in its place.

In the 1980s its future became uncertain as schemes for local town centre redevelopment and a shopping complex were made that involved demolishing the hall. Following opposition in 1991 the institute was saved from demolition. A committee was set up by fundraisers to restore the building which included a grant by the Harrow Heritage Trust.

Architecture

Bernays Institute was built by Victorian architect J.T. Barker in church-like red brick with Bath stone features and a clerestory.Bernays family.

Bernays Gardens

Named after the Bernays, these public gardens were constructed in the 20th century located off Old Church Lane, at the site of the old Manor House that was demolished in 1930.

Blue cathedral

This article is about the musical composition. For the Comets on Fire album, see Blue Cathedral.

blue cathedral is an orchestral composition by the American composer Jennifer Higdon. The work was commissioned by the Curtis Institute of Music in 1999 to commemorate the conservatory's 75th anniversary.

Composition

blue cathedral has a duration of roughly 13 minutes and is composed in a single movement.

Background

The piece was written in memory of Higdon's younger brother, Andrew Blue Higdon, who died of skin cancer in June 1998. The composer wrote in the score program note:

I began writing this piece at a unique juncture in my life and found myself pondering the question of what makes a life. The recent loss of my younger brother, Andrew Blue, made me reflect on the amazing journeys that we all make in our lives, crossing paths with so many individuals singularly and collectively, learning and growing each step of the way. This piece represents the expression of the individual and the group... our inner travels and the places our souls carry us, the lessons we learn, and the growth we experience. In tribute to my brother, I feature solos for the clarinet (the instrument he played) and the flute (the instrument I play). Because I am the older sibling, it is the flute that appears first in this dialog. At the end of the work, the two instruments continue their dialogue, but it is the flute that drops out and the clarinet that continues on in the upward progressing journey.

Higdon later described the process of composing blue cathedral as "the most cathartic thing [she] could have done."

Instrumentation

The work is scored for an orchestra comprising two flutes (2nd doubling piccolo), oboe, cor anglais, two clarinets, two bassoons, four horns, three trumpets, three trombones, tuba, harp, piano, celesta, timpani, three percussionists, and strings.

Reception


Blue cathedral

Reception

blue cathedral has received a positive response from critics. Tim Smith of The Baltimore Sun lauded, "The music seems to emit and reflect light as it moves from stillness to exuberance and back again, tapering off ethereally. If you didn't know the personal story behind it, the music could still touch your heart; when you do know that story, it can touch your soul."The Philadelphia Inquirer also praised the piece, writing:

Listeners don't need to know that blue cathedral was written as a memorial for Higdon's deceased brother: You're so enveloped by the grief, hope and intuitive musical invention welling up through the rich orchestration that you might not remember many specific details about the music from one hearing to the next. I've heard it a lot, and though it's hardly dense or difficult, every encounter feels like a new one.

Travis Rivers of The Spokesman-Review similarly remarked:

blue cathedral produced an otherworldly atmosphere of floating sound, yet the work never seemed directionless. The work opened with very soft bell-like sounds and quiet solos beautifully played by flutist Bruce Bodden and clarinetist Chip Phillips. As the work gained intensity many of the orchestra principal players also joined with impressive solos. At the height of wave of sound, the celestial quiet of the beginning returned, accompanied with muted strings and the sound of softly ringing Chinese Reflex Bells and the eerie sound of tuned water-filled glasses being rubbed along their rims. The work was wonderfully effective besides being friendly to the ear.

Recording

A recording of blue cathedral, performed by Robert Spano and the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra, was released in 2003 through Telarc. The disk also featured Christopher Theofanidis's Rainbow Body, Samuel Barber's Symphony in One Movement, and Aaron Copland's Appalachian Spring.
