Terra Nostra is a
70-minute oratorio on the
relationship between our
planet and humankind, how
this relationship has
shifted over time, and
how we can re-establish a
harmonious balance. Part
I: Creation of the World
explores various creation
myths from different
cultures, culminating in
a joyous celebration of
the beauty of our planet.
Part II: The Rise of
Humanity examines human
achievements,
particularly since the
dawn of our Industrial
Age, and how these
achievements have
impacted the planet. Part
III: Searching for
Balance questions how to
create more awareness for
our planet’s
plight, re-establish a
deeper connection to it,
and find a balance for
living within our
planet’s
resources. In addition to
the complete oratorio,
stand-alone movements for
mixed chorus, and for
solo voice with piano,
are also available
separately. Terra
Nostra focuses on the
relationship between our
planet and mankind, how
this relationship has
shifted over time, and
how we can re-establish a
harmonious balance. The
oratorio is divided into
three parts:Part I:
Creation of the World
celebrates the birth and
beauty of our planet. The
oratorio begins with
creation myths from
India, North America, and
Egypt that are integrated
into the opening lines of
Genesis from the Old
Testament. The music
surges forth from these
creation stories into
“God’s
World†by Edna St.
Vincent Millay, which
describes the world in
exuberant and vivid
detail. Percy Bysshe
Shelley’s
“On thine own
child†praises
Mother Earth for her role
bringing forth all life,
while Walt Whitman sings
a love song to the planet
in “Smile O
voluptuous cool-breathed
earth!†Part I ends
with “A Blade of
Grass†in which
Whitman muses how our
planet has been spinning
in the heavens for a very
long time.Part II: The
Rise of Humanity examines
the achievements of
mankind, particularly
since the dawn of the
Industrial Age. Lord
Alfred Tennyson’s
“Locksley
Hall†sets an
auspicious tone that
mankind is on the verge
of great discoveries.
This is followed in short
order by Charles
Mackay’s
“Railways
1846,†William
Ernest Henley’s
“A Song of
Speed,†and John
Gillespie Magee,
Jr.’s “High
Flight,†each of
which celebrates a new
milestone in
technological
achievement. In
“Binsey
Poplars,†Gerard
Manley Hopkins takes note
of the effect that these
advances are having on
the planet, with trees
being brought down and
landscapes forever
changed. Percy Bysshe
Shelley’s “A
Dirge†concludes
Part II with a warning
that the planet is
beginning to sound a
grave alarm.Part III:
Searching for Balance
questions how we can
create more awareness for
our planet’s
plight, re-establish a
deeper connection to it,
and find a balance for
living within our
planet’s
resources. Three texts
continue the
earth’s plea that
ended the previous
section: Lord
Byron’s
“Darknessâ€
speaks of a natural
disaster (a volcano) that
has blotted out the sun
from humanity and the
panic that ensues;
contemporary poet Esther
Iverem’s
“Earth
Screaming†gives
voice to the modern
issues of our changing
climate; and William
Wordsworth’s
“The World Is Too
Much With Us†warns
us that we are almost out
of time to change our
course.
Contemporary/agrarian
poet Wendell
Berry’s “The
Want of Peaceâ€
speaks to us at the
climax of the oratorio,
reminding us that we can
find harmony with the
planet if we choose to
live more simply, and to
recall that we ourselves
came from the earth. Two
Walt Whitman texts
(“A Child said,
What is the grass?â€
and “There was a
child went forth every
dayâ€) echo
Berry’s thoughts,
reminding us that we are
of the earth, as is
everything that we see on
our planet. The oratorio
concludes with a reprise
of Whitman’s
“A Blade of
Grass†from Part I,
this time interspersed
with an additional
Whitman text that
sublimely states,
“I bequeath myself
to the dirt to grow from
the grass I
love…â€My hope
in writing this oratorio
is to invite audience
members to consider how
we interact with our
planet, and what we can
each personally do to
keep the planet going for
future generations. We
are the only stewards
Earth has; what can we
each do to leave her in
better shape than we
found her? $3.00 - Voir plus => AcheterDélais: 1 to 2 weeks | | |

we have the freedom to
demonstrate our faith as
we pray in public, attend
church or witness to
others. But what if our
faith in God was judged
only by our response to
crisis? Queen Esther kept
her faith a secret to
silently influence the
Persian court, but it was
dramatically demonstrated
when she risked her life
to plead for the
salvation of her people.
In Kathie Hill's
Esther-Ordinary Faith,
your children will learn
the value of a living
faith as they create a
first-hand account of the
events in Esther's life.
In the musical, a
fictional scribe, Zerox,
details Esther becoming
queen through God's
intervention in Haman's
plot and Mordecai's
appointment as the king's
adviser. And, as Zerox
tells the story, he
experiences the testimony
of Esther and develops
his own faith in God and
His grace. All this is
done through gritty songs
and witty dialogue
between these characters
and the residents of
Susa, the Susans. Songs
like God Is in Control,
The Eleventh Hour, While
You Sleep and In That
Moment, will help
children understand the
sovereignty of God and
the confidence we can
have in trusting Him with
the greatest of problems
by displaying our own
Esther-Ordinary Faith!

composed Samson directly
after completing the
Messiah. After its
premiere in 1743 in the
Covent Garden Theatre in
London, the work rapidly
became one of the
composerâ??s most
successful oratorios
alongside Esther and
Judas Maccabaeus. This
probably had as much to
do with the popular Old
Testament story of the
libretto as with
Handelâ??s masterly
shaping of the arias and
choruses.
By
including some movements
in the appendix, this
edition makes it possible
for the first time to
perform the work in its
original 1741 version.
The edition is based
on the complete edition
volume of the Halle
Handel Edition (BA 4099),
offering the complete
music text of the
oratorio for the first
time.

Intimate Apparel by Lynn
Nottage. Originally
an award-winning play,
Lynn Nottage’s INTIMATE
APPAREL was inspired by
her great-grandmother’s
life in New York in the
early 20th century. The
Pulitzer-laureate also
created the libretto for
Ricky Ian Gordon’s
grand-yet-intimate opera
whose complete
instrumentation is two
pianos. The story follows
the life of a young,
single seamstress who has
recently emigrated from
Barbados, the fascinating
cast of characters in her
life, and her
socially-unacceptable
feelings of affection for
a Jewish fabric salesman.
The premiere production
of this 2½-hour drama
was televised nationally
from Lincoln Center on
PBS’s “Great
Performances.”. Inti
mate Apparel began with
an old photograph that I
found haphazardly wedged
between the pages of a
Family Circle magazine. I
was helping my
grandmother, who’d
developed debilitating
senile dementia, move
from her longtime home in
Crown Heights, Brooklyn.
In the midst of a pile of
weathered magazines I
discovered a black and
white passport photograph
of my grandmother Waple
and her younger sister
Eurita sitting on their
mother’s lap. It was
the first time I’d ever
seen an image of my
great-grandmother Ethel,
a striking woman with
high West African
cheekbones and a gentle
intensity. She had been a
seamstress from Barbados,
who at the age of 18
arrived alone in New York
City at the dawn of the
Twentieth Century. The
image invited a thousand
questions, none that
could be answered by the
living, and it led me on
a journey to piece
together the history of
my great-grandmother
Ethel, a woman who was
basically a stranger to
me. The only clue that I
had about Ethel, was a
story that my grandmother
had once told me about
her mother corresponding
with a man laboring on
the Panama Canal, who
would eventually become
her husband. I was
fascinated by this story,
which served as the
inspiration for INTIMATE
APPAREL.As I began my
research for INTIMATE
APPAREL at the New York
Public Library, I
discovered that lives of
Black working women in
the early 1900s were
woefully absent from the
archive. So, I found
myself perusing help
wanted listings, boarding
house and clothing
advertisements, looking
for any sign of women
like my great-grandmother
on the printed page. As I
was doing so, I began to
find the characters that
would populate the world
of INTIMATE APPAREL;
Esther the lonely
seamstress, Mrs. Dickson
the proprietress of the
boardinghouse for Black
women, Mr. Marks the
Jewish fabric salesman on
the Lower Eastside, Mrs.
Van Buren the wealthy
white socialite on the
Upper Eastside, Mayme the
sex worker in the
tenderloin, and George
the laborer toiling on
the Panama Canal. As I
was conjuring the
characters, I realized
that I was interested in
the unexpected
intersections between
class, race, and gender
at the turn of the
Twentieth Century, and
what happens when people
across cultural and
economic divides are
thrust into spaces of
intimacy.INTIMATE APPAREL
began its life as a
popular play, but it was
the brilliant composer
Ricky Ian Gordon who
invited me to consider
adapting it into an
opera. He saw something
epic and expansive in the
life of Esther that he
felt demanded to be sung,
and with his loving
guidance I was able to
write my first libretto.
It took me several tries
to figure out how to
wrestle my play into a
form that was new to me.
As a playwright, I kept
wanting to maintain
absolute control of the
narrative. But, it was
Ricky’s words that
freed me creatively to
find my way into the
libretto. He said,
“You’re not trusting
my music as a narrative
tool; I can say “I love
you” without any words,
with just music. So,
allow me to be your
collaborator on the
storytelling.” And once
he said that, we found
INTIMATE APPAREL the
opera together. $110.00 - Voir plus => AcheterDélais: 1 to 2 weeks | | |
