These two groundbreaking polar projections of the northern and southern celestial hemispheres are the oldest printed European star charts. Whereas prior celestial projections sometimes depicted allegorical figures looking over the skies, Dürer instead honoured four ancient astronomers by depicting them at their work, overseeing his maps. The various texts I have chosen (mostly extractions from larger works) reflect the changing worldview hinted at in Dürer s charts. His inclusion of the four astronomers was a signal that the universe could be comprehended through human intervention rather than solely through spiritual or symbolic means.\" - Tarik O'Regan\u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Novello","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41916427173967,"sku":"NOV16717801","price":21.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0900\/1828\/files\/55409949c873a5d4782d5c0010498a23.jpg?v=1752026530"},{"product_id":"oregan-alice-changes-novello","title":"O'Regan: Alice Changes","description":"\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eComposer\u003c\/strong\u003e: \u003ca href=\"\/pt\/collections\/tarik-oregan\"\u003eTarik O'Regan (1978-)\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong class=\"original-instrumentation-title\"\u003eInstrumentation\u003c\/strong\u003e: \u003cspan class=\"original-instrumentation\"\u003eViolin\u003c\/span\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWork\u003c\/strong\u003e: Alice Changes (2014)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli class=\"binding hidden\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBinding\u003c\/strong\u003e: \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize\u003c\/strong\u003e: \u003cspan class=\"book-width\"\u003e9.3\u003c\/span\u003e x \u003cspan class=\"book-length\"\u003e11.8\u003c\/span\u003e inches\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli class=\"book-pages\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePages\u003c\/strong\u003e: 8\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\u003eAlice Changes , by Tarik O'Regan , is a short piece for solo Violin, composed for Thomas Gould. The work progresses through a series of increasingly intricate figurations, which sit on top of the same underlying chord progression found in Charlie Parker's Blues for Alice (1951). A variation of the twelve-bar blues, this harmonic sequence goes by several names, such as: \"Bird blues\", \"Bird changes\", or \"Alice changes\" .

Thomas Browne (1605-1682), polymath alumnus of Pembroke College, Oxford (commissioner of this work), who gave the undergraduate oration at the incorporation of the College in 1624, speaks of this spark leading to a \"pure flame\". When thinking of carrying \"the wonders we seek without us,\" this flame can be seen to be already present inside ourselves as we search for the extraordinary aspects of life externally. The idea is taken up by Countee Cullen (1903-1946), one of the most important voices of the Harlem Renaissance, and turned inward. He imagines the flame as part of an ember setting alight his own exploration of identity, culture and ancestry, here nuancing Browne's statement that \"there is all Africa and her prodigies in us.\" Cullen asks, \"What is Africa to me?\"Virginia Woolf (1882-1941) mediates this imaginary discussion by wondering whether such aspects of thought and existence – \"the conceits of life\" – are, in fact, dreams. After all, Browne's flame is invisible and Cullen's ember is hidden. in this context, the remarkable language used by the College of Heralds in its 1625 Grant of Arms to Pembroke College has an air of magic realism. Woolf's minimal \"flowers and grasses\" becomes \"a rose gules seeded or barbed vert\" and a \"thistle proper\". The way an inanimate object – a college crest – can only become imbued with movement and momentum by the language with which it is described brings us back to the spark of imagination. It is the inner flames of discovery which illuminate our external quests for understanding.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Novello","offers":[{"title":"Vocal Score","offer_id":43783121469519,"sku":"NOV297567-01","price":13.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Study Score","offer_id":43783123927119,"sku":"NOV297567","price":47.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0900\/1828\/files\/9cf51fb6b0820fbecf0415befbe3490f_091a02dc-be10-4c28-980f-55919453cdd5.jpg?v=1762482235"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.ficksmusic.com\/pt\/collections\/tarik-oregan.oembed","provider":"Ficks Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
