But there's one thing I never seen or heard of, one thing I just don't think there is, and that's a sportin' way o' killin' a man ''!!

I seized the rack and made a western-style flying-mount just in time, one of my knees mercifully landing on my duffel bag -- and merely wrecking my camera, I was to discover later -- my other knee landing on the slivery truck floor boards and -- but this is no medical report.

The true artist is like one of those scientists who, from a single bone can reconstruct an animal's entire body.

In fact, one important aspect of their very religion is the annihilation of men ''.

It took thirty of our women almost six moons to build this one, which is higher and stronger than the old one.

I clapped the big man with the bleached hair on his shoulder and said heartily, hoping it would make an impression on the women: `` This one is the maku Frayne.

`` This one is a tender chicken, oui??

but he presents it publicly so enmeshed in hypocrisy that it is not an honest one.

My definition of this much abused adjective is that a reconstructed rebel is one who is glad that the North won the War.

For one thing, this is not a subject often discussed or analyzed.

The general acceptance of the idea of governmental ( i.e., societal ) responsibility for the economic well-being of the American people is surely one of the two most significant watersheds in American constitutional history.

A third, one of at least equal and perhaps even greater importance, is now being traversed: American immersion and involvement in world affairs.

Today, as new nations rise from the former colonial empires, nationalism is one of the hurricane forces loose in the world.

Historically, however, the concept is one that has been of marked benefit to the people of the Western civilizational group.

It is one of the ironic quirks of history that the viability and usefulness of nationalism and the territorial state are rapidly dissipating at precisely the time that the nation-state attained its highest number ( approximately 100 ).

But it is more than irony: one of the main reasons why nationalism is no longer a tenable concept is because it has spread throughout the planet.

Accidental war is so sensitive a subject that most of the people who could become directly involved in one are told just enough so they can perform their portions of incredibly complex tasks.

Only one rule prevailed in my conversations with these men: The more highly placed they are -- that is, the more they know -- the more concerned they have become.

However, the system is designed, ingeniously and hopefully, so that no one man could initiate a thermonuclear war.

It is a music like the music from a great organ or a vast orchestra playing a symphony.

125, is the final complete symphony of Ludwig van Beethoven ( 1770 – 1827 ).

Completed in 1824, the symphony is one of the best-known works of the Western classical repertoire.

The symphony is scored for the following orchestra.

The symphony is in four movements, marked as follows:

Forms such as the concerto and sonata were more heavily defined and given more specific rules, whereas the symphony was created in this period ( this is popularly attributed to Joseph Haydn ).

It is the second largest bowed string instrument in the modern symphony orchestra, the double bass being the largest.

The double bass, also called the string bass, upright bass, bass fiddle, bass violin, doghouse bass, contrabass, bass viol, stand-up bass or bull fiddle, is the largest and lowest-pitched bowed string instrument in the modern symphony orchestra, with strings usually tuned to E1, A1, D2 and G2 ( see standard tuning ).

The double bass is a standard member of the string section of the symphony orchestra and smaller string ensembles in Western classical music.

In a further sign of regeneration in the area, the Docklands now has its own symphony orchestra-Docklands Sinfonia-which was formed in January 2009 and is based at St Anne's Limehouse.

The scherzo of this precociously accomplished symphony ( which shows a mature absorption of Bruckner and Richard Strauss ) is especially noteworthy, while Schmidt demonstrates his contrapuntal skills in the Finale.

This is Schmidt's longest symphony in terms of duration and employs a huge orchestra.

The first A is an expansive threnody on solo cello ( Schmidt's own instrument ) whose seamless lyricism predates Strauss's Metamorphosen by more than a decade ( its theme is later adjusted to form the scherzo of the symphony ); the B section is an equally expansive funeral march ( deliberately referencing Beethoven's Eroica in its texture ) whose dramatic climax is marked by an orchestral crescendo culminating in a gong and cymbal crash ( again, a clear allusion to similar climaxes in the later symphonies of Bruckner, and followed by what Harold Truscott has brilliantly described as a " reverse climax ", leading back to a repeat of the A section ).

The concert harp is large and technically modern, designed for classical music and played solo, as part of chamber ensembles, and in symphony orchestras as well as in popular commercial music.

The essence of Rajasthani music is derived from the creative symphony of string instruments, percussion instruments and wind instruments accompanied by melodious renditions of folk singers.

It is now the only Indian symphony orchestra that functions and performs on a regular basis with a concert standard of performance.

It is a kind of symphony played by an orchestra of both electric and natural instruments and frozen into its idealized form by means of a multichannel tape recorder.

The symphony currently is located at the new Kauffman Center for the Performing Arts.

The current music director and lead conductor of the symphony is Michael Stern.

A symphony orchestra is an ensemble usually comprising at least thirty musicians ; the number of players is typically between seventy and ninety-five and may exceed one hundred.

A symphony orchestra is divided into families of instruments.

`` Now that Bruno Walter is virtually in retirement and my dear friend Dimitri Mitropoulos is no longer with us, I am probably the only one -- with the possible exception of Leonard Bernstein -- who has this special affinity for and champions the works of Bruckner and Mahler ''.

Among the Kronstorf works is the vocal piece Asperges ( WAB 4 ), which the young teacher's assistant, out of line of his position, signed with " Anton Bruckner m. p. ria.

Biographers generally characterize Bruckner as a " simple " provincial man, and many biographers have complained that there is huge discrepancy between Bruckner's life and his work.

A common explanation for the multiple versions is that Bruckner was willing to revise his work on the basis of harsh, uninformed criticism from his colleagues.

The scherzo and slow movement, with their alternation of melodies, are models for Bruckner's spacious middle movements, while the finale with a grand culminating hymn is a feature of almost every Bruckner symphony.

Bruckner is the first composer since Schubert about whom it is possible to make such generalizations.

Despite its general debt to Beethoven and Wagner, the " Bruckner Symphony " is a unique conception, not only because of the individuality of its spirit and its materials, but even more because of the absolute originality of its formal processes.

At first, these processes seemed so strange and unprecedented that they were taken as evidence of sheer incompetence .... Now it is recognized that Bruckner's unorthodox structural methods were inevitable .... Bruckner created a new and monumental type of symphonic organism, which abjured the tense, dynamic continuity of Beethoven, and the broad, fluid continuity of Wagner, in order to express something profoundly different from either composer, something elemental and metaphysical.

Wagner chose the Third, and Bruckner sent him a fair copy soon after, which is why the original version of the Wagner Symphony is preserved so well despite revisions in 1874, 1876, 1877 and 1888 – 9.

Symphony No. 6 in A major, written in 1879 – 1881, is an oft-neglected work ; whereas the Bruckner rhythm ( two quarters plus a quarter triplet or vice versa ) is an important part of his previous symphonies, it pervades this work, particularly in the first movement, making it particularly difficult to perform.

During the time that Bruckner began work on this symphony, he was aware that Wagner's death was imminent, and so the Adagio is slow mournful music for Wagner ( the climax of the movement comes at rehearsal letter W ), and for the first time in Bruckner's oeuvre, Wagner tubas are included in the orchestra.

The problem was that the Te Deum is in C major, while the Ninth Symphony is in D minor, and, although Bruckner began sketching a transition from the Adagio key of E major to the triumphant key of C major, he did not pursue the idea.

His Requiem in D minor of 1849 is the earliest work Bruckner himself considered worthy of preservation.
