The text functions on two levels: on the first level four men are talking in a bar in Ireland, the first being the Citizen, who is Joyce's equivalent of the Cyclops, the second being Leopold Bloom, the hero of Ulysses, the third being the narrator and the fourth being a man identified as Joe. in the novel there are many more characters that appear in the bar, but in my excerpt I have limited them to just these four. On the second level, Joyce spins elaborate parodies around each of each of the topics discussed, imitating various literary styles. I have mirrored this in setting these fanciful \"riffs\" in a wild variety of musical styles, including a 19th century dancehall tune, Baroque oratorio, silent-film era soundtrack, a quote from Tristan and Isolde, the William Tell overture and many other familiar and not-so-familiar melodies. Because Joyce names specific musical works in this episode, I have been faithful to these references in my musical choices, arranging, distorting and adding my own personal take on each.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe premiere cast includes four actors who will play the parts of the four men in the bar, singers from the Manhattan Choral Ensemble, who, together with the instrumentalists of the PULSE chamber players will perform the parodies, and artist Timothy Decker, whose artwork illustrating the various sections will be projected during the performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e—Victoria Bond\u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Protone Music","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42738120785999,"sku":"VB-031","price":63.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0900\/1828\/files\/042a8e47f91c300dd27ff94f17e4a207.jpg?v=1752090309"},{"product_id":"bond-a-more-perfect-union-protone","title":"Bond: A More Perfect Union","description":"\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eComposer\u003c\/strong\u003e: \u003ca href=\"\/ja\/collections\/victoria-bond\"\u003eVictoria Bond (1945-)\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFormat\u003c\/strong\u003e: Full Score\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong class=\"original-instrumentation-title\"\u003eInstrumentation\u003c\/strong\u003e: \u003cspan class=\"original-instrumentation\"\u003eOpera\u003c\/span\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWork\u003c\/strong\u003e: A More Perfect Union (2004)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli class=\"binding\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBinding\u003c\/strong\u003e: Spiral Bound\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWork Language\u003c\/strong\u003e: \u003cspan class=\"book-language\"\u003eEnglish\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize\u003c\/strong\u003e: \u003cspan class=\"book-width\"\u003e8.9\u003c\/span\u003e x \u003cspan class=\"book-length\"\u003e12.0\u003c\/span\u003e inches\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli class=\"book-pages hidden\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePages\u003c\/strong\u003e: None\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"row\"\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c!-- split --\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"row\"\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"one-half columns\"\u003e \u003ch4\u003eDescription\u003c\/h4\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"feature_divider\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e \u003cp\u003e2 sopranos, 2 tenors, countertenor, baritone, actor, and ensemble (flute, violin, viola da gamba, hapsichord, and percussion)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBaroque music conjures up the image of solidity, logic, monumental and eternal truths captured in counterpoint so inevitable that it seems to have always been. Certainly the men who came together in the summer of 1787 wanted to achieve this certainty in their draft of the Constitution. This was not to be easily won, as they argued and fought over issues that still plague us today. How to capture this turmoil in music? How to show the vision of what could be and the struggle of how to get there, using instruments and a vocal ensemble that suited the era? I needed to think beyond the Baroque traditions, to allow these instruments and voices to speak in a contemporary idiom, expressing the passion, rage and exasperation that eventually crafted the great document by which we live.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA More Perfect Union allowed me the opportunity to explore in music the passionate arguments and heated debates that formed our Constitution. Far from being a dry and rational process, the men who came together at the Constitutional Convention had strong ideas and personalities and were not shy in expressing them. To represent the fire of their convictions using the instruments of the Baroque era presented a challenge. I needed to rethink each instrument's potential and move beyond the familiar language. I discovered that the harpsichord could express very bold musical gestures as well as dissonant harmonies without violating its intrinsic nature. The viola da gamba, in contrast, had a quiet assuredness with a voice that was quite different than that of the cello. The other instruments of the ensemble, the flute, violin and percussion, all have become part of the contemporary composer's palette of colors and moved quite naturally into the dramatic world in which I found myself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUsing Thomas Jefferson's actual campaign song as the theme upon which the entire structure was built, I moved back and forth in time, between the granite structures of Baroque musical edifices and the liquid elasticity of contemporary landscapes, connecting the elemental core of our hopes and dreams.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA More Perfect Union is unique in its blend of Baroque opera-ballet and American music-theater, giving equal weight to words, music and dance. These three elements have long been a part of the American musical but to put them to the service of an abstract concept is novel. This opera is not a story. Its characters are regions of the country and concepts, not individuals, and in this way it is most related to the opera-ballet. I do not believe that there has ever been an American music-theater work or opera treating this subject matter in this way.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Protone Music","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42738122358863,"sku":"VB-033","price":159.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0900\/1828\/files\/9a7fbe4395c18722fb79a330468dab4f.jpg?v=1752072198"},{"product_id":"bond-guido-darezzo-protone","title":"Bond: Guido d'Arezzo","description":"\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eComposer\u003c\/strong\u003e: \u003ca href=\"\/ja\/collections\/victoria-bond\"\u003eVictoria Bond (1945-)\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFormat\u003c\/strong\u003e: Full Score\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong class=\"original-instrumentation-title\"\u003eInstrumentation\u003c\/strong\u003e: \u003cspan class=\"original-instrumentation\"\u003eOrgan, Soprano, Baritone, Children's Choir, Percussion\u003c\/span\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWork\u003c\/strong\u003e: Guido d'Arezzo (2006)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli class=\"binding hidden\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBinding\u003c\/strong\u003e: \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWork Language\u003c\/strong\u003e: \u003cspan class=\"book-language\"\u003eEnglish\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize\u003c\/strong\u003e: \u003cspan class=\"book-width\"\u003e8.9\u003c\/span\u003e x \u003cspan class=\"book-length\"\u003e12.0\u003c\/span\u003e inches\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli class=\"book-pages hidden\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePages\u003c\/strong\u003e: None\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"row\"\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c!-- split --\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"row\"\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"one-half columns\"\u003e \u003ch4\u003eDescription\u003c\/h4\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"feature_divider\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e \u003cp\u003eUsing the text from Susan Roth's children's book, this oratorio tells the story of Guido d'Arezzo who discovered a better way than the tradition of learning music by rote.

Also, I wanted to emphasize qualities not normally associated with the flute — its earthy, animal nature. Carol raises Pekingese show dogs, and the name of her kennel is \"Shenblu\". Assuming that this was a Chinese word, because the dogs originally came from Peking, I decided to call the piece \"Shenblu\". When I asked Carol to translate the name from the Chinese, she said, \"Oh, that's not a Chinese word at all!

This Jewish prayer for the blessing of dew is sung on the first day of Passover, the date of which the Greek Orthodox always consider for the timing of their own celebration of Pascha, the Greek word for \"Passover.\" Just as the Jewish community liturgically asks God for the gift of dew, so the Greek Orthodox community contemplates the gift of God in Christ, who today is suspended on a cross.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e— Paul Barnes\u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Protone Music","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42963374932047,"sku":"VB-014","price":23.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}]},{"product_id":"bond-ruth-bader-ginsburg-in-tune-with-justice-for-narrator-and-orchestra-protone","title":"Bond: Ruth Bader Ginsburg - in Tune with Justice","description":"\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eComposer\u003c\/strong\u003e: \u003ca href=\"\/ja\/collections\/victoria-bond\"\u003eVictoria Bond (1945-)\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFormat\u003c\/strong\u003e: Full Score\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong class=\"original-instrumentation-title\"\u003eInstrumentation\u003c\/strong\u003e: \u003cspan class=\"original-instrumentation\"\u003eOrchestra, Narrator\u003c\/span\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWork\u003c\/strong\u003e: Ruth Bader Ginsberg: In Tune with Justice\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli class=\"binding\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBinding\u003c\/strong\u003e: Spiral Bound\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWork Language\u003c\/strong\u003e: \u003cspan class=\"book-language\"\u003eEnglish\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize\u003c\/strong\u003e: \u003cspan class=\"book-width\"\u003e8.9\u003c\/span\u003e x \u003cspan class=\"book-length\"\u003e0.1\u003c\/span\u003e inches\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli class=\"book-pages hidden\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePages\u003c\/strong\u003e: None\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"row\"\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c!-- split --\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"row\"\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Protone Music","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42963378438223,"sku":"VB-024","price":71.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0900\/1828\/files\/ec130d0adbcd60503da82ccc9cb6cbd2.jpg?v=1752088007"},{"product_id":"bond-anne-franks-tree-protone","title":"Bond: Anne Frank's Tree","description":"\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eComposer\u003c\/strong\u003e: \u003ca href=\"\/ja\/collections\/victoria-bond\"\u003eVictoria Bond (1945-)\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong class=\"original-instrumentation-title\"\u003eInstrumentation\u003c\/strong\u003e: \u003cspan class=\"original-instrumentation\"\u003eOrchestra, Narrator\u003c\/span\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWork\u003c\/strong\u003e: Anne Frank's Tree (2023)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli class=\"binding hidden\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBinding\u003c\/strong\u003e: \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli class=\"book-pages hidden\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePages\u003c\/strong\u003e: None\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"row\"\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c!-- split --\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"row\"\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"one-half columns\"\u003e \u003ch4\u003eDescription\u003c\/h4\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"feature_divider\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e \u003cp\u003eAnne Frank's Tree is a composition for chamber orchestra and narrator by award-winning American composer Victoria Bond.

The volumes cover various tales from India, China and Japan. The subject-matter is largely drawn from Buddhist and secular folklore. The folkloric tales mostly depict encounters between human beings and the supernatural. The typical characters are drawn from Japanese society of the time — nobility, warriors, monks, scholars, doctors, peasant farmers, fishermen, merchants, prostitutes, bandits, beggars. Their supernatural counterparts are oni and tengu. The work is anonymous. The date of the work is also uncertain. From the events depicted in some of the tales it seems likely that it was written down at some point during the early half of the 12th century, after the year 1120. Many of the tales which appear in the Konjaku are also found in other collections, such as ghost story collections; having passed into the common consciousness, they have been retold many times over the succeeding centuries. Modern writers too have adapted tales from the Konjaku Monogatarishi: a famous example is Akutagawa Ryunosuke's in a Grove, well known in the West from Kurosawa's film Rashomon.\u003c\/p\u003e

Grant on the Equal Rights Party ticket. Her running mate was Frederick Douglass. Her platform included women?s suffrage and many other much-needed social reforms, but it also included an inflammatory issue which offended America?s puritanical morals: free love. for Victoria, this meant equality between the sexes, but the establishment was threatened by the upending of the status quo. She was branded ?Mrs. Satan.? She tried to enlist the support of the most popular preacher of the day, Henry Ward Beecher who, despite his unblemished reputation, regularly seduced his female parishioners.
