The Greek poet
Homer wrote about Troy
and the Trojan War -
which probably took place
in what is now Asia Minor
- in his Iliad in the 8th
century B.C. Nowadays,
the term 'Trojan'
generally refers to a
malware program that is
used to gain unauthorized
access to computers. This
use comes from the
legendary Trojan Horse,
which saw the turning
poing in the battle
between Greeks and
Trojans through the
cunning of Odysseus. Let
us return to the
beginning of the story:
Paris, son of the king of
Troy, is tasked by Zeus
with judging the beauty
of the three goddesses
Aphrodite, Pallas Athena,
and Hera. Aphrodite, the
goddess of love, flatters
Paris by promising him
the most beautiful woman
in the world. Soon
afterwards, on a journey
to Greece, Paris meets
the beautiful Helen, who
immediately falls in love
with him. Since however
she is the wife of
Spartan king Menelaus,
she eventually lets
herself be kidnapped by
Paris voluntarily. The
Greeks then form a large
army and go to war
against Troy to retrieve
Helen, leading to a
ten-year siege of the
city. The city is
eventually conquered not
through combat, however,
but through Odysseus'
cunning ploy. He has the
idea of building an
enormous wooden horse
with warriors hidden
inside. The horse is
placed at the gates of
the city. Thus, the
Trojans are tricked into
giving up the siege when,
despite various warnings,
they bring the horse into
the city to dedicate it
to the goddess Athena. At
night, the soldiers climb
out of the horse and open
the gate for the Greek
army. The troops storm
the city and raze it to
the ground. The royal
family and all the Trojan
warriors are killed -
only Aeneas, the son of
Aphrodite, escapes.
Later, following many
years' wanderings he and
his acolytes will become
known as the founders of
the Roman people.

Jamaica is an
island in the
Caribbean. In 1494 it
was discovered by
Christopher Columbus, who
used it as private
property until 1509.
After some skirmishes it
fell under British rule
and the sugar trade on
the island flourished.
After the abolition
of slavery in 1834 it was
only granted Home Rule in
1944, but it remained a
member of the British
Commonwealth of Nations.
Whereas the
export of cane sugar used
to be Jamaica’s main
export product for many
years, nowadays music has
taken over this role. At
first American music used
to be very popular on the
island. Later, however,
Jamaican musicians
started to experiment and
thus in the end created
their ownmusical style
called Reggae.
Well-known Reggae
musicians are Bob Marley
and Peter Tosh.
The most important
instruments used in
Reggae are the bass and
the drums. Together they
form the base for the
style: the riddim. A bass
drum accent on the second
and fourth beat are
characteristic of a
typically reggae drum
beat. To this syncopic
patterns are often added.
The rhythm guitarist
plays chords in a
characteristic Reggae
rhythm, not on, but

Carl Maria
von Weber's fame rests
mainly on 'Der
Freischutz'. The
unprecedented success of
this opera overshadowed
all his other works and
contributed to their
increasing fall into
oblivion. Certain works
such as 'Preciosa',
'Oberon', and
'Euryanthe', the
overtures, solo concertos
and piano sonatas, the
lieder and chamber works
enjoyed great popularity
and were widely known in
Germany and abroad as
late as the second half
of the 19th century.
However, any chance of a
revival of Weber's
influential and
substantial oeuvre was
wasted in the 1920s, when
a complete edition -
begun by Hans Joachim
Moser and with potential
contributors including
Wilhelm Kempff, Hans
Pfitzner, Max von
Schillings, Fritz Stein
and Richard Strauss -
failed after the third
volume.Ever since there
have been numerous
attempts to restart a
complete edition of
Weber's works, but as
this kind of project
would have required the
co-operation of scholars
from both sides of the
inter-German border, the
political situation after
1945 was not conducive to
any such enterprise.
Careful negotiations led
to the first tangible
steps in the 1980s. The
intention, right from the
beginning, was to place
Weber's work in context,
and not to separate his
musical output from his
influential work as a
writer, critic and
organiser in the musical
field, but to publish his
compositions together
with his letters, diaries
and other literary output
as the best way to
document the
cross-fertilisation
between his musical,
literary and practical
activities.Since the
German re-unification
both working-parties
concerned - at the
Staatsbibliothek zu
Berlin, and at the
Musikwissenschaftliches
Seminar,
Detmold/Paderborn - have
co-operated on the
complete edition of the
musical works (c. 45
volumes in 10 series:
sacred music; cantatas,
odes and other occasional
works; stage works;
lieder and vocal works;
orchestral works; chamber
music; music for piano;
piano reductions;
miscellanea, arrangements
and orchestrations; works
of doubtful attribution).
The diaries (6-8 vols.)
are edited in Berlin and
the letters (8-10 vols.)
and other writings (2
vols.) in Detmold. This
complete edition aims to
be a reliable basis of
scholarly debate as well
as for the authentic
performance practice of
Carl Maria von Weber's
music. Conforming to the
standards of recent
historico-critical
editions, the textual
material will be based on
all available authentic
sources, accompanied by a
detailed documentation of
the genesis and a list of
variants for each work.
The musicological
importance of the works
will be evaluated by
placing them in their
historical context, the
presentation of their
genesis, history and
Critical Commentaries.
The letters, writings and
diaries will be treated
as inter-related and
relevant to each other in
the commentaries,
therefore readers should
benefit from a wealth of
concise information and
cross-references.

Troy, is tasked by Zeus
with judging the beauty
of the three goddesses
Aphrodite, Pallas Athena,
and Hera. Aphrodite, the
goddess of love, flatters
Paris by promising him
the most beautiful woman
in the world. Soon
afterwards, on a journey
to Greece, Paris meets
the beautiful Helen, who
immediately falls in love
with him. Since however
she is the wife of
Spartan king Menelaus,
she eventually lets
herself be kidnapped by
Paris voluntarily. The
Greeks then form a large
army and go to war
against Troy to retrieve
Helen, leading to a
ten-year siege of the
city. The city is
eventually conquered not
through combat, however,
but through OdysseusÂ’
cunning ploy. He has the
idea of building an
enormous wooden horse
with warriors hidden
inside. The horse is
placed at the gates of
the city. Thus, the
Trojans are tricked into
giving up the siege when,
despite various warnings,
they bring the horse into
the city to dedicate it
to the goddess Athena. At
night, the soldiers climb
out of the horse and open
the gate for the Greek
army. The troops storm
the city and raze it to
the ground. The royal
family and all the Trojan
warriors are
killed—only Aeneas,
the son of Aphrodite,
escapes. Later, following
many yearsÂ’
wanderings he and his
acolytes will become
known as the founders of
the Roman people. There
are various accounts of
the fate of the beautiful
Helen. She is said to
have returned to Sparta
with Menelaus and to have
ruled there until the end
of her life. Or maybe
not...
