The Truth About Music
"What's hot, what's not, and whats next in pop music"
Early Summer Albums Have A Lot of Junk Upfront But Some Gems in the Trunk
Your probably already sick of hearing about Eminem and Green Day. Although I have not yet written a single full album review the two pop superpowers have dominated The Truth About Music over the past few weeks. Hopefully this will be the last post about the albums but I had to share this with everyone. Albums are supposed to hook you early and then sell you late. Great albums are often characterized by their home stretch towards the end and not by the singles littered at the albums open. After listening pretty extensively to both "Relapse," and "21st Century Breakdown," I have come to the conclusion that these might qualify as "Great" albums on this criteria. If you want to hear the best part of these albums just skip with first dozen or so tracks and listen to the ends. Starting with Green Day, "21st Century Breakdown," which is conveniently [...] Continue...
CAKE With All The Toppings Bring Their Green Side to Webster Theater
When I was told that CAKE would be performing in Hartford excitement was the only word I could use. A few weeks later I found out that on top of not bringing an opening act with them, the show would include a short intermission. In my head I thought that I should be seated in an elegant theater and not at a rock show. It was the first time I had ever seen a band do this and it was pretty sweet way to watch a show. Despite an overuse of the vibra-slap and the disco ball, the crowd seemed mesmerized by CAKE's five members and their music. After a short musical prelude, the band opened the show with "Short Skirt/Long Jacket," which has become extremely popular over the past few years especially with it's appearance on NBC's show "Chuck." The band raced through other fan favorites such as "Comfort [...] Continue...
Harris' Song of the Week: Insane by Eminem
This week there was a real debate in my head over where to with my Song of the Week. There have been two albums getting non stop play and they are Eminem's "Relapse," and Green Day's "21st Century Breakdown." Three different songs were drawing my attention and I had to choose just one of them. Well it turns out that I really don't have to. Although "Insane," is my Song of the Week I will mention two others from the album that I love. First to the actual winner, "Insane," is a really old school feeling Shady song featuring conversations and the depicting of childhood molestation. The first line says it all, "I was born with a dick my brain, fucked in the head." Check that song out but while your there these two songs deserve an honorable mention. "Bagpipes From Baghdad," and "Underground." Bagpipes is an interesting song that [...] Continue...
The Truth About Music Radar: May 25th, 2009
Another week another set of albums are about to come out. This Tuesday does not offer a great selection of new music but could be a great time to catch up on the last few weeks. Green Day and Eminem both have new albums out that are worth checking out. The biggest thing out today is Marilyn Manson's "The High End of Low." Although I don't follow Manson and his crazy career he is known for really solid "freaky" metal. This week also features a slew of Greatest Hits collections. Bands such as 311, New Kids on the Block and Clash along with super pop sensation Britney Spears will all release their hits. I always question when bands release these greatest hits album, especially when the band has not had a long shelf life. Thankfully this week all of the artists are capable of filling a greatest hits album. Among [...] Continue...
Harris' Song of the Week: 21 Guns by Green Day
One of the most long winded albums of the last few years, "21st Century Breakdown," has been taking me a few days to really sink my teeth into. I am falling in love with quite a few sections of this album but I had to dig really deep to find my favorite song on the album, "21 Guns." Track #16 (there are 18 total) has just stuck with me in a way that is hard to explain. Starting with a very mellow verse that really doesn't sound like a classic Green Day song, it moves into an awesome chorus that reminds me of "American Idiot," meets "Warning." Buried in the album, many people will point to this song as Green Day conforming best movers toronto but I see it differently. This song really shows the bands brilliant song-writing skills. Another thing that this song demonstrates is lead singer Billie Joe's [...] Continue...
What Does American Idol Mean to the World of Music?
Although I had not seen one episode of American Idol the entire season, I took some time on Wednesday to watch a few episodes featuring the final two singers. Two things became immediately apparent. First, Adam Lampert could be one of the best pure singers in the entire world of pop music and Kris Allen is an incredible musician.There is no doubt in my mind that me and Simon were both correctly disappointed that Adam did not win. It is a shame that the popularity contest known as American Idol was unable to pick the best singer the show had ever seen. I know he is not for everyone but he was the best and there is no way around that. All of that said I think Kris and Adam will go on to have amazing and long careers in music. The main concern of my article this evening is [...] Continue...
The Truth About Music Release Radar: May 19th, 2009
Another new chapter is about to open at The Truth About Music, the Release Radar. Each Tuesday I will breakdown some of the best music released, and the albums I don't have much interest in purchasing. I'll try to note which albums I have actually listened to already, but generally these will be albums that I anticipate hearing, or don't care much about. Our first ever Release Radar comes on a week in which one of the most highly anticipated albums of the year comes out, Eminem's "Relapse." Available today, the album has already produced four singles including "Crack a Bottle," and "3 AM." Given the singles released prior to today, I am really looking forward to hearing this album. Also out today is the fifth release from comedian Dane Cook. Although the first two wide released albums were my favorite I still think Dane is quite funny and worth [...] Continue...
Harris' Music Video of the Week: Know Your Enemy
It pains me to say that 4 days after it's release I still do not own the new Green Day album, "21st Century Breakdown." Despite being slightly repetitive, the first single "Know Your Enemy," has a pretty sweet and simple video. It is clear that the video is aimed at showing their punk sides, something that this song demonstrates. The video was directed by Matthew Cullen who did an awesome job portraying the band in a live setting within what appears to be a prison. One of my favorite shots in the video is towards the end just before fire erupts behind the band. Billie Joe's shadow appears on a huge wall behind him and it just seems really over the top (in a great way). Although many people are down on this song right now, it is a song made to be heard live and I cannot wait to [...] Continue...
Thank You Is All I Can Say

Harris' Song of the Week: Ain't No Love in the Club by Wylde Bunch
I really do hate doing this to you but sometimes it just happens. This weeks song of the week is one that you have probably never heard of but you really should. Los Angeles based Wylde Bunch are an awesome fusion rap and rock band that pull off a really old school sound. There are two songs that really stand out to me, "Ain't No Love in the Club," and "Less Work." The first song, my song of the week is a really great club song that has the potential to be huge on the circuit. It's really great rapping mixed with excellent singing and a Justice sounding backing. No matter what type of music you enjoy I would recomend checking out at least these two songs.

Having recently been invited to view the most spectacularly renovated country house that I have seen in the Surrey Hills it raised the question as to whether pricing that we have seen reached in the likes of Mayfair, Belgravia and Knightsbridge can be transferable (to a degree) 25 miles south of the Capital. St Georges Hill with its glut of development appears to have overheated thus prompting a suggestion that prime 'country' property could be sought elsewhere is the more rural areas of Surrey.

The mansion in question has been cleverly developed offering both an option for a purchaser to buy effectively a superb residence with a suite of impeccably designed apartments or should this route not be successful it offers the chance for a buyer to have probably the grandest approach drive and front door of all Surrey Hills country houses.

Either way in terms country houses that I have seen for sale in the Surrey Hills this one certainly has exceeded attention to detail.

The recent launch of the agents mutual portal On The Market has caused some stirring in the market. Not because it is particularly innovative but more because it has sought to alienate its long established competitors Rightmove and Zoopla. The reason? Traditional high street agents have long since been under pressure from the various new breed of agents who recognised that both buyers and vendors were more savvy to the property market particularly through the advent of technology.

The point though is that there are a number of poor quality ill advised back street agents out there attempting to offer servivces to clients without any formal knowledge, qualification or experience. When deciding how to market your property ensure you take advice from an established and professional adviser. Coverwood are regulated by the RICS and have a very successful track record on ensuring clients achieve the absolute best vakue for their main asset, their home. Call us today on 01483 801092.

On December 18th, Jabari Parker was assigned to the G-League team of the Milwaukee Bucks. Parker was put out of commission last February with a left ACL injury, and is expected to come back to the starting squad in February.
In an interview with Sports Illustrated Jabari said, "Everyday I have to tell myself, if I wanna move closer to my dreams and my goals, I gotta get up, I gotta tell myself I can do it, and I gotta accomplish it." The 6'8, 250 pound, 22 year old menace is undergoing his second ACL injury and has to remain positive in order for him to come back more explosive.
Jabari Parker's Skill Set
In case you haven't watched any Jabari Parker highlights, here's what you've got to know. Physically, Jabari struggles with hitting his head on the rim when he dunks, and with maintaining the bottom half of his legs.
Other than that Jabari is one of the most versatile offensive players in the league. He can hit the three, the spot-up mid range, the running floater, and can also jam on just about anyone. He's deadly on the fast break, and creates many mismatches on offense.
Buck's Offense
Jason Kidd's offense is conservative and slow then radical and aggresive. Nonetheless, both Giannis and Jabari have been able to add their own flare to the often stagnant offense. In the 51 games Parker played last season, he was able to put up 20 points a game shooting 49 percent from the field. Last year Giannis put up 22 points shooting 52 percent.
Squad without Jabari
With the acquisition of Eric Bledsoe, the Bucks have gained a veteran PG that can be an experienced floor general and take the stress off of the young Malcom Brogdon. Not to mention Khris Middleton is putting up 20 points a night this season, stepping up for the absence of Jabari.
Don't forget about John Henson, averaging 10 points a game as well as snagging 8 rebounds. Giannis is being the Greek Freak putting up crazy numbers, and Brogdon is putting up 10 points coming off the bench at 6th man. The loss of their veteran big Greg Monroe didn't setback the young Bucks team.
Squad with Jabari
When Jabari comes back the whole starting lineup will be shifted. Tony Snell will be put back on the bench, the floor will be properly spread, and Giannis will be able to play his natural position (even though he can play all of them).
Jabari will take the scoring strain off of the Greek Freak and Middleton, give Eric Bledsoe another man to hit, and bring even more explosiveness to the young Bucks team.
However, the future of Jabari on the Bucks is foggy, due to Jabari and the Bucks not reaching a contract extension. If Giannis, Bledsoe, and Middleton can stick it out until Jabari returns, the Bucks can make a playoff run.

Public recycling bins are set to be trialled in town centres across the Horsham district.
The plans were announced last week by Philip Circus, Horsham District Council's cabinet member for waste, recycling and cleansing, who is 'confident that this is going to add to our recycling performance'.
The trial would be monitored and if successful could be rolled out further across the district.
Full details of the trial are expected to be published in the next few weeks.
Mr Circus said: "This is a further initiative which will further boost our already excellent record."
Back in August it was revealed that the Horsham district had become the first place in West Sussex to reach the national recycling target of 50 per cent for domestic waste.
A council spokesman said: "Horsham District Council will be launching a trial of public recycling bins in town centres across Horsham district, enabling residents and visitors to recycle when they are 'on the go' doing their shopping.
"The results of this trial will determine if the service is expanded across more areas of the district. More details will be made available in due course."
What do you think of the proposals? Email the newsdesk.

In the summer of 2009, my best friend Joey spent 2 months in Palestine, and a lot of his time was devoted to volunteering at a refugee camp there. Beside the balloons is the word "hope" in Arabic, and the image of the girl is a rendering of a graffiti painting on one of the walls surrounding the camp by the infamous artist Banksy. On the painting is the quote, "There will always be hope."
Israeli/Palestinian relations are becoming increasingly tense. There have been many attempted efforts on both sides to find some sort of peaceful coexistence, but it is still not enough.
I will be donating all profits from this shirt to the American Charities for Palestine. If you decide to donate as well, shoot me a message and I'll give you a special discount code because you're great.

For this project, we had 2 choices.
The first choice that the students had was making a sculpture. I gave each child a piece of aluminum foil. They cut the foil (Foil armature) and then wadded the foil up to create a basic human figure. They covered the figure with tape and then attached it to a cardboard base.
They used plaster strips to completely cover the figure. Once it was dry, they painted it with tempera paint and then used a contrasting color to add patterns.
The second choice for this project was a collage. The students created a background paper by dripping liquid watercolors onto the page. They used a straw to blow the paint around the paper, filling the page from top to bottom and side to side.
Then they cut out the basic shapes of the human body and glued them on, using either warm or cool colors.
The figures were decorated by using hole punches and scissors to cut out a variety of lines.

As I grow older, I like to make the most of my limited time and energy, so I "book" meetings at Whataburger during regular coffee shop times (early morning or mid-afternoon).
I've planned weddings and funerals there. I am on the board of directors for a few non-profit organizations. Many informal discussions regarding the non-profits have been held in a corner at Whataburger.
It's not widely known that I do a little iPhone consulting work from my office at Whataburger. My consulting is usually prompted when one of my friends pushes his phone across the coffee table while asking, "Can you do anything to make this thing stop?" or "What's wrong with my phone?"
Mild cursing has been dropped into the requests depending on the complexity of the problem. I've been able to help quite a few times.
Most of the time, if I can't help, Jack Brooks comes to the rescue. There have been situations for which I needed to sit down to a computer with a larger monitor to sort out a friend's phone problems.
Bobby Watts' situation was very complex. He had accounts with Apple, Gmail (more than one), Yahoo (more than one) and he/we could not get even one of them to allow us to log in, so we went to my house.
I went to work on Bobby's problem using my computer while Bobby sat in a folding chair next to me. I had worked for several minutes, giving complete attention to my computer monitor, when I asked Bobby a question about one of his accounts. I got no response.
I turned my head to ask him the question again and found him asleep in the chair. I laughed. Then I went back to work.
It happened again!
I continued working and thoughts came to me, "I hope he's OK." Then I panicked. "What if Bobby dies in my house?" I hurried a little and came to a quitting spot.
Then I told Bobby, "I think I've done about all I can do." He thanked me and left.
The next day at the coffee shop he told me what had happened. He had taken his "night pills" that morning. I'm not sure what meds Bobby takes, but I have a hunch one of them is a nighttime sleeping pill.
Bobby's son, Dale, doesn't seem as patient as his dad. Not long ago, he handed me his phone. It was displaying an odd message. He couldn't use the phone at all. He makes a living answering that phone.
After I tried (without success) to fix it, he went to his phone provider. Dale told me later that he had spent four hours in the store that day trying to get his problem fixed. If I had to choose one of the Watts boys to work with on a phone problem, I'd choose a sleepy Bobby over an impatient Dale.
Every once in a while, someone contacts me and wants to meet somewhere so they can tell me a little story they think might be worthy of having a place in the newspaper.
Such was the case not too long ago when I saw retired veterinarian, Doc Cocanaugher, at a funeral. He said me he wanted to tell me details about a Decatur dude ranch that had been a very popular attraction during the war years of the 1940s. We met in my Whataburger office a few days later.
Doc went into great detail regarding a part of Decatur history that is probably unknown except to the oldest of the old timers. I wrote the story. Then I went to his office and left a copy of it with his secretary, knowing he would need to correct some of the details before I submitted it to the newspaper.
This good man died before returning the corrections to my story.
I'm trying hard to keep from looking or sounding "preachy," but it seems to me that sometimes you fear that a friend is about to die (like Bobby) and then share a laugh with him the next day over a cup of coffee.
Other times you have coffee with a friend and share a story. Then a day or two later, news of his death reminds you that you'll never have coffee with him again.
My motto for life: Make as many friends as I can and try to make sure they know the way to heaven. It's all about trusting in Jesus. Sooner is better. Not one of us knows how many days he or she has on this planet.
Does that sound "preachy?" Or does it sound like it came from a good friend?
Gerre Joiner is a semi-retired church musician and has lived in Decatur since 1999.

Ripon Triathlon race report
Ripon triathlon was an Olympic distance triathlon so this is double the distance of the two triathlons already completed this year. The distance was 1.5k swim, 40k bike, 10k run. I was the only para triathlete with Andy as my guide. As the only para triathlete on the race course this meant that we didn't just have to compete to the best of our abilities but that we were competing against all able bodied competitors.
The swim was an open water swim in Ripon Racecourse Lake. To get to the swim we had to run to the start of our pack as we were running a little late. Once there we had to jump into the water and swim about 20 meters to catch our race pack for the start. Once we were there we only had less than ten seconds before the start horn was blown, once it was blown we were off this urgent start made me very nervous and because of this I really struggled to keep my head under water to breath correctly, being the stubborn individual I am, I wouldn't stop and carried on to do a time of 50 mins, although this is slower than I had hoped, I was still proud that I managed to complete as it was a really tough swim.
At T1 or transition one to give it is proper name we ran through and got our wetsuits off quickly, once they were off we followed through with our plan to put all our gear, that we needed for the bike section. Once our helmets were on we ran with the tandem to the mount line which states the start of the bike section and the end of the transition area, once there we mounted our tandem and started stoking the bike and we were away. We pounded on the bike section and overtook a dozen or so bikes which was great. The most memorable bit for me, was that we had to stop to reset Andy's saddle height as it either came lose or just dropped and a women passing shouted to see if we were okay, once we had completed our repairs we speed off and within moments Andy informed me that we had just overtaken the individual in question. This is a pure example of the comradery and humanity that bonds all triathletes.
We completed the bike section of 40k in 1 hour 21 mins which was a total road course circuit on the main roads of Ripon. A funny moment that comes to mind yet again a marshal doesn't know what a tandem is as we got a whistle blown at us as they thought we were breaking British Triathlon Federation drafting rules.
At Transition 2 we came back in to the cheers of the crowd as we reached the dismount line Andy counted down from three, one meaning we are dismounting. Once we dismounted the tandem which we did to the left of the bike we ran with our trusty steed to our rack position once there I had the run tether ready once me and Andy had removed our helmets we started running and this was it the final discipline. With the roars of our supporting crowd we started to run.
This was the hardest part as by the 2k mark I started to get horrible cramp down my right lower thigh, this was so hard as the pain was horrible but with Andy's motivational support and my stubbornness we carried on the pain stayed with me the entire run but we completed it with a sprinting finish to cheering crowd whom we got high fives off as we sprinted to the end.
The race was over we had done it we had fought through the pain in my right thigh and the nerves that had hit me in the swim we did it in 3 hours 35 minutes and 35 seconds and position 13th for my age group. The day was great and one that will always stay with me as it was a brilliant day and showed that all my hard training had paid off also we had proven the even with sight loss you can stand your own on the field of triathlon.

I became a photographer because I fell in love with travel street photography during my London study abroad. Fast forward to today and I still think it is my favorite thing. As my kids grow up, I know I will slowly leave my "mom-tog" status behind. But this I will always do. I love to document a family or person discovering a new place, photograph the food, the landscape, the people so they can always remember that moment in time. For me I love the sense of discovery I have as I travel with my camera.
Recently (time is a relative thing right?) my husband and I were able to travel to New Orleans for a conference for his job. The kids got to have a lot of special time with Grandma ("Mom she spoiled us SO much!") and we were able to have some adult time. During the day my husband was mostly in continuing education classes and I savored the time on my own. Dating back to my study abroad days I have just loved walking around a city and photographing it.
Just like a person, each city and place has its own distinct characteristics and traits. As a documentary photographer I am striving to uncover and highlight those. Also like a person it is impossible to get to know a place in a day or two. It does take time, and when I go on these little trips I certainly don't claim to now be an expert. But I love to try! I love to try and find and see what the locals do.
I took a lot of pictures in New Orleans and I really love so many of them. As usual when I go on a trip expect an overshare here! My first stop on my first day was the famed World War II National Museum. Having lived in DC, I am hard to impress when it comes to museums, but this one was so superb. I also cant remember the last time I was in a museum alone, so that probably helped the experience. Sometimes I cant believe just how much of an introvert I am. I will probably say this over and over, but I just loved being alone!
There is a chance that Japan will be our next move and viewing the displays on Japan and the atomic bomb sites was very moving for me. The destruction and power that we as humans are capable of hurt my mind. Just a few steps aways from this museum stood the Robert E Lee Memorial. It was scheduled to be taken down just a few weeks after we were there. I found the juxtaposition of these two places in such close proximity to be interesting. It made me think that every human has a back story, a reason for why they are what they are. Can we judge that? History especially is viewed through such technicolor glasses, how can we say who those people were who made those decisions and did the things they did?
I spent a good amount of time in the Garden district and loved seeing the big beautiful homes. But what fascinated me most was the plants. I come from a desert where nothing grows but cactus and living and visiting in the South has been a new experience! The plants take over everything! I loved documenting them growing out of walls, destroying side walks, and peeking out of graves. Our impression on the earth as humans feels small when I see that. I feel like if we all died tomorrow, the earth, this great living thing that we are stewards of, would erase our history so quickly.
I met some frustrated tourists on the street cars in New Orleans, it seems that the slow pace of life there was not going to get them to their dinner reservation on time. I took it as another personality trait of this multifaceted city. They are southern. They have time to get where they need to be.
I always focus in on one aspect of a city and in New Orleans it was the bikes. Chained up everywhere and decorated to the T, they were such a fun and vibrant part of the city. This bikes series may be one of my favorite street photography transportation series to date!
As with all trips I missed my children a ton and was so ready for them and all their shenanigans by the time I got home. I sometimes suffer mom guilt from wanting to get away. I know how fast their childhoods are passing me by, but I also love these moments of self discovery and documentation. I am grateful for the opportunity to experience both. As with all things in life it seems balance is what is called for. I am striving to enjoy now, whether I am with my kids or not, enjoy the time I have. That is all that is granted to each of us.
Another favorite stop for me was the sculpture garden outside the local art museum. The trees were all covered with Spanish moss which gave the sculptures an erie feeling that I thought was pretty cool!
I won't lie to you all, although I ate some of the tastiest food ever and had a grand time walking this city. It isn't one I would put high on my list to visit a second time. For me it was quite dirty and well, I dont drink, so Bourbon street was a bit of a waste! Ha! I did love the Jazz clubs over on Frenchman though. Like anyone, when the music is live and good, I have a hard time keeping my feet still. We also stumbled upon a live concert in the square one night. It was the perfect opportunity for me to get some humanity into my pictures. I just love being a fly on the wall in this type of place!
Here are just a few (haha) more images just from my street wandering in NOLA. I felt so much colorful vibrancy from this city and am so grateful I was able to check it out. I hope you enjoy these images!

Martha Elliott
This presentation is about vibrato and Rossini. First I will examine some of the references and recommendations from period sources. Then we will look at some specific music examples from Rossini and see how different singers manage their vibrato and articulation in order to differentiate various kinds of ornamentation, be it a passing tone in a cantabile melody, a stressed dissonant appoggiatura, a trill, or turn, or a burst of florid activity in a cadenza. The presentation will feature some old and new audio examples and some discussion about what's happening with Rossini performance today.
Of course we know that in the 18th-century writers considered vibrato to be an ornament which when used selectively could be charming and effective for heightened expressivity. But if overused, or consistently present, it indicated faulty technique and/or bad taste. Tosi says singers must 'learn to hold notes without shrillness or trembling' without the fluttering that is in bad taste.1 Leopold Mozart talks about tremolo as an ornament which 'can be used charmingly on a long note' but he warns that 'it would be an error if every note were played with the tremolo.'2 Agricola also allows that singers can use vibrato at the end of a long note, but indicates that not all throats are able to bring this off effectively.3 And of course there is the famous quote from Mozart: as he was complaining about the trembling of Meisner's voice which he thought was a detestable habit, he said 'The human voice trembles naturally – but in its own way – and only to such a degree that the effect is beautiful... but the moment the proper limit is overstepped, it is no longer beautiful.'4 So this is really a subjective judgment call, for Mozart, and for us as well.
Moving into the 19th century, in 1836, Isaac Nathan advises that 'any unsteadiness or tremor of voice is to be remedied by taking the note softer; a contrary course only serving to increase and confirm the defect.'5 And in the 1840s and 50s in the various versions of Garcia's Complete Treatise he says 'the repeated use of the tremolo makes the voice tremulous' (chevrotante, which conjures up the image of the bleating goat which was used as a negative example of vibrato in earlier centuries). He goes on to say 'The artist who has contracted this intolerable fault becomes incapable of phrasing any kind of sustained song.'6 In 1828 we have a new definition of vibrato in Thomas Busby's Musical Manual. He says vibrato is 'a term used in the Italian Opera to signify that at the note or passage to which it refers, the voice is to be thrown out, in a bold, heroic style.'7 Garcia discusses this special use of vibrato in a section of his treatise called 'Passions and Sentiments' where he also talks about using sobs, sighs and laughs for heightened expression. 'The tremolo should be used only to portray the feelings which, in real life, move us profoundly... (anguish, tears, anger, vengeance etc....) the use of it should be regulated with taste and moderation; as soon as one exaggerates the expression or the length of it, it becomes tiresome and awkward.'8 So this gives a pretty clear picture that in the early 19th-century vocal vibrato was certainly used, perhaps more than previously, but still as a special effect and definitely not as a consistent ongoing presence.
In terms of articulation, we know from C.P.E. Bach, Quantz and others that in the 18th century the 'usual manner' of playing was detached and separate in most situations, to define and make clear each different figure.9 In the 1804 fourth edition of his violin treatise, however, Leopold Mozart revised his earlier recommendation of separated articulation in favor of a slurred, sustained sound for cantabile passages.10 As the 19th century progressed, legato articulation became more favoured and instrumentalists were asked to emulate the cantabile style of the best singers.11 Of course singers had text to help them shape articulation, and their most important job was conveying the clear expression of the text. The vocal method books in the early part of the century by Lanza, Corri, Ferrari, Nathan, and Garcia all stress the importance of communicating the text by using appropriately placed breaths, phrasing and expression to complement the dramatic meaning of the words. 12 Instrumentalists were asked to emulate the expressive diction of good singers as part of their approach to articulation.13 So even though a legato style was gaining favour, musicians were still under the influence of the 18th century practice of defining and shaping the music with a wide variety of articulation.
Ornaments also had to be defined and shaped. Both Nathan and Garcia recommend accenting or emphasizing the first note in a group of fast notes to avoid monotony.14 Garcia also advises giving dissonant notes slightly more emphasis. Rapid passages should be smoothly joined together, but also clear and precise. So, again, continuing the instructions from earlier periods the main goals for singers were still to achieve, clear, steady cantabile passages, inflected dissonances, expressive diction and clearly defined ornaments. I think this is hard to do with the large, continuously present vibrato used by most opera singers today. According to Garcia, vibrato was merely one of many kinds of articulation which could be used to help convey the meaning and drama of the text.
In looking for audio examples for this presentation, I was struck by how little variety there was in professional performances of Rossini operas. The small number of historically informed productions are mostly concerned with editions, or ornamentation and the specific content and placement of improvised variations. In fact it seems that many professional Rossini singers today are interested in learning about period ornamentation, but not about other more subtle issues of period vocal style, namely managing vibrato and articulation. Even Will Crutchfield, who is a specialist in this repertoire, and conducts Bel Canto productions at the Caramoor Festival, has admitted that professional singers probably won't want to change their technique in the service of historical performance practice.15 And in fact we'll hear two singers who are starring in a production of Semiramide at Caramoor this summer, Vivica Genaux, and Lawrence Brownlee... and while their fast ornamentation is dazzling they both use a lot of modern vibrato, most of the time. The softer, more gentle vocal production recommended by 18th and 19th century writers might not be practical or possible for today's opera singers who have to fill large houses and sing over modern orchestras, Yet, I believe a compromise is possible, and I did find some examples of stylish singing.
Audio example 1 is a short bit of Fernando De Lucia singing 'Ecco ridente' from Barber. De Lucia made his debut in Naples in 1885 and sang and recorded until the 1920's. Almaviva was a specialty of his. This recording is from 1904. I think we all know what the issues are in listening to early recordings in terms of acoustics and recording technology. It is hard to know how accurate a representation of the sound of the voice we are really getting. But this will provide a base for comparison at least. So listen for the presence or absence of vibrato and how it impacts on the ornaments.
Audio Example 1: 'Ecco ridente in cielo' Il Barbiere di Siviglia (Fernando de Lucia)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gvjzdnRdQjA (0:05-1:35)
His voice actually has quite a noticeable small fast vibrato throughout, but the sound is gentle and not forced. The high notes are floaty and delicate. The fast runs glide smoothly but are distinctly clear. Both the ornamental high notes and the runs are softer and have less vibrato than the main melody notes. He uses rubato and less volume and vibrato to set off the turn on the first 'cielo'. and the turns at 'aurora' and 'ancora'. He emphasizes the leading note B on 'cielo' and D# on 'dormir' and of course the F natural with a cadenza before the return of the tune. The aria is transposed down about a whole step.
Video example 1
is a 1999 YouTube clip of the same passage sung by Juan Diego Florez:
Video example 1: 'Ecco ridente in cielo' Il Barbiere di Siviglia (Juan Diego Florez)
1:00 – 2:25
This is in C major as written, and significantly faster, but his vibrato is actually quite trim and fast throughout, and he pares it down even more for certain expressive notes on 'cielo' also on 'dormir cosi' and the F, D and B leading back to the second stanza. Some of the high notes are full and robust, but he also floats some. I think this is beautiful singing, but there were other YouTube clips of him singing this aria that were softer and slower and even more lovely.
Next, we'll hear some versions of an extract from 'Una voce poco fa'. First is Luisa Tetrazzini from a 1907 recording. You'll hear the typical tiny shimmer of a vibrato, blended chest voice in the lower range, somewhat abrupt endings of some notes, and high notes which are full and powerful, but easy and clear:
Audio Example 2: 'Una voce poco fa' Il Barbiere di Siviglia (Luisa Tetrazzini)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OPUrQ1sGDOw (0:15-1:10)
The last note is almost completely straight, and there is absolutely no confusion between the long trill note, the fast running notes and the slower ornamental notes. It's all completely clear, and gentle and relaxed.
Next we'll hear Cecilia Bartoli in a recording from 1989. (That recording was not available for this web presentation, but the performance below from 1992 is very similar.) She has more noticeable vibrato on the long notes, but it is still pretty small and fast:
Audio Example 3: 'Una voce poco fa' Il Barbiere di Siviglia (Cecilia Bartoli)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TWHN24axqcM (0:00-0:48)
She trims her vibrato for the triplet at 'qui nel cor' and keeps ' mi risuono' pretty straight as well. The short notes on 'fu' and 'pia- go' are also very light, short and straight. Both high notes on 'Lindoro' are full, but Tetrazinni sang those full as well. Bartoli gives special emphasis to the dissonant appoggiaturas on both 'giurai's' and she also separates the second 'sara' at the bottom of the big run down from G#. So she uses a wide variety of articulations and levels of vibrato.
Now we'll hear Vivica Genaux from her 2003 album Bel Canto Arias:
Audio Example 4: 3 'Una voce poco fa' Il Barbiere di Siviglia (Vivica Genaux)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=edurwCReTmo (0:36-1:30)
Her vibrato on the long notes is much slower and wider overall. She does takes it away for the triplet on 'qui nel cor' and a bit for the triplet leading to the C natural of the first 'Lindoro', but she doesn't do as much with the appoggiaturas on 'giurai'. The fast passages are active and very clear, but they are surrounded by a lot more vibrato in general. And her recordings of Farinelli arias and other Baroque arias are similar. The passage work is dazzling and her low notes are sort of male sounding, but there is a lot of vibrato throughout.
Bartoli has a recording of Cenerentola from 1992 with Riccardo Chailly conducting which has a lot of stylish singing on it. They use an 1818 Comeretto forte piano for the recitatives and make an effort to sing the ensembles with less vibrato and more variety of articulation. This helps keep the pitches and harmony clear. It is also easier to hear coloratura passages against the ensemble background.
Now two examples of Ramiro's second act aria 'Si ritrovarlo':
First, we'll hear Lawrence Brownlee. This is an extract from the Andantino (2:30–3:17 to beginning of bar 8):
Video Example 2: 'Si ritrovarlo' La Cenerentola (Lawrence Brownlee)
2:30 – 3:55
This is beautiful singing, but in a very modern style. It sounds incredibly even and consistent. The legato is un-broken and seamless. The vibrato is constant and full, though luckily it is fairly small and fast. In the Allegro section his vibrato and the coloratura are moving at about the same speed, so even though the fioratura is precise and clear, it is surrounded by a lot of movement in the constantly present vibrato.
Now here is Juan Diego Florez in the same passage, from Barcelona in 2008:
Video example 3: 'Si ritrovarlo' La Cenerentola (Lawrence Brownlee)
2:30 – 3:40
This is a wonderful compromise between modern singing and period style. The first six quavers are almost straight toned, and he inflects the dissonances on the F# and G#. In the third bar he also varies his vibrato to inflect the dissonant E's and the D on the fourth quaver for 'mi lusinghi'. In the bar after the flourish on the fermata, he stresses the first note in each of the groups of semiquavers, as Garcia instructed, and he really emphasizes the dissonant appoggiatura on the next downbeat for 'seno'. In the next statement of 'Labbro e al seno' he sings the semiquavers of 'seno' almost straight. [I will press you to my lips and heart] And then adds more impassioned vibrato for 'ti stringero' 'I will press'. I think this is beautiful singing which incorporates many appropriate stylish gestures without losing the commitment and power of a modern vocal technique.
I would like to recommend to modern opera singers that there can be a middle way, a compromise. Perhaps instead of the 18th- and 19th-century advice of using vibrato occasionally as an ornament, you can use non-vibrato, or less vibrato occasionally as an ornament. Instead of giving up a modern technique entirely and singing in the soft, gentle manner the 19th century, you can incorporate more variety of articulation. I don't think it has to be either/or. Modern opera singers and especially young singers, can and should try to incorporate historically stylish ways of singing Bel Canto repertoire into their modern approach.

Drink at Hand: 2011 Ancient Peaks Jackpot Syrah
Thirsty Thursday here again, time to pour something yummy and make those weekend plans. We definitely poured a yummy one tonight--perfect wine to go with a Chinese-spiced grilled ribeye. But, on to the photos...
You might remember that this week's Two-Word Tuesday's photo locale was Horseshoe Bend near Page, AZ. Well, after I shot that sunset, there was still a fair amount of light, so I started wandering with the camera. The crowd around the horseshoe overlook was a little much for me, and in my quest for solace and personal time, wandering away from the overlook just felt right.
I soon found myself drawn to the lines and layers in the rocks, along with the little plants and bushes clinging to the harsh, sandstone surface.
And then, suddenly it seemed, it was dark. The week I was out and about, Venus and Mars were very close together at twilight just after sunset. So, here's Venus and a barely discernible Mars.
Hopefully I can find some more fun rocks to shoot this weekend.

To find the best realtor for the job, start when your personal network. If you know anyone who has successfully sold a luxury house in your area, question for a referraleven if that agent isnt a fine fit for you, they might know somebody else who is. In the business that you dont have somebody you can ask, limit your search solely to luxury real house groups and be distinct to see at their past-sale portfolios and admission any reviews that you can find.
2. Bring in a professional stager
One of the most important parts of selling a home is staging the property as a result that buyers can picture themselves full of beans there. This is especially legal in the luxury housing market, where homes are often no question customized to individual tastes. while its not critical to strip your house next to to its bones correspondingly that a extra owner can create it their own, they should be adept to look the potential in it and to view the property without bodily overwhelmed by your own personal style.

Staging your home to sell is a major play in and its hard to do on your own, hence bring in a professional stager who can guide you through the process. In auxiliary to helping you optimize your home for potential buyers to come through, a stager can then encourage you in finding ways to highlight its most exclusive features.
3. find a tally once tone your price
Setting the true price is one of the trickiest parts of selling a luxury home. Price it too tall and you risk letting your home go stale on the market; price it too low and you might stop occurring getting less for it than its in fact worth.
Its going on to you and your realtor to locate the glad center arena and allow on a price that speaks to what your house has to have enough money and its legal value without potentially deterring a large chunk of your buyer pool. The aspire is to remain competitive while next getting as much as you can for the property.

4. taking into consideration it comes to photos, think quality and quantity

In addition to nevertheless photographs, provide your listing an extra boost by including videos and a virtual tour of the property. Drone shots can after that comport yourself to pay for buyers similar to anything that they craving to pronounce whether its worth coming out to view the property, especially if your home is on a lot of land. Having lots of imagery is important, particularly later than it comes to enthralling to foreign buyers, who often make happening a lot of the luxury buying shout from the rooftops but cant always come out to see a property firsthand.
5. publicize wisely
When it comes to selling a luxury home, a yard sign and an MLS listing shared on your Facebook page arent going to clip it. Luxury buyers arent looking for homes in the standard places, so thats not where you should be focusing your publicity efforts. It takes keep to make money, for that reason expect to invest in top-quality printed promotion materials, in supplement to professional staging and photography.
6. Skip the public open house
You infatuation to cultivate an air of exclusivity following selling a luxury property, which means, in part, ditching the public right of entry home in favor of appointment-only viewings. There are two facilitate to perform it this way: one, you create buyers character that seeing the property is a privilege, and two, you avoid having to waste your become old atmosphere taking place your house for an edit house that will likely be filled mostly with non-buyers who are just impatient nearly what the property looks like.
Because your buyer pool is limited your viewings probably will be too, but thats okay! In luxury home sales, its much less roughly getting as many buyers as feasible through the gate as it is very nearly getting the right buyers through the door. And those buyers arent coming to a public log on house. If you get desire to bring in multipart buyers at once, talk to your agent just about hosting an invite-only event.

7. Focus upon what makes your house stand out
Back in the in advance 2000s, the term McMansions took off to describe a sure subset of luxury homes that were large and expensive but relatively tasteless. Avoid falling into the McMansion ensnare by full of zip to distinguish your home from extra properties at the thesame price pointspecifically by downplaying the things that buyers will find elsewhere (such as marble counter tops) and highlighting the things that create your house consequently special (such as that wine cellar in the basement).
The unique, high-value features of your home are your main selling points. They should be featured prominently in the photographs and videos upon your listing and be mentioned as assets in any written promotion materials. Dont resign yourself to that your house speaks for itself and that buyers will look its best features gone they come for a viewinglead in the same way as those features, and allow them be the tug that brings the buyers in.
8. develop a brand for your home
One of the keys to effectively promotion and selling all is building it a certain identity, and the thesame goes for your house. You dont need to go higher than the summit following how you hint and speak practically your luxury home, but you should absolutely have a focused pronouncement that guides every of your publicity materials. declare purchasing an individual logo for your house that can be put upon any relevant content, or even coming occurring behind a slogan. Your brand identity doesnt compulsion to be overt, but it should underlay the publicity strategy.
indiana real ,
9. have the funds for some perks
The more value you can offer, the better, especially if there are further luxury homes for sale that are boasting similar features to yours. Can you allowance past that grand piano? How virtually that custom master bedroom furniture set? Sweetening the pot with a few other bonuses is a fine pretension to sever yourself new from the competition and might just find the money for you the edge that you compulsion in a saturated market. Indiana Real Estate License Lookup
Selling a luxury property, next selling any property, requires a have enough money and acknowledge between your own wants and desires and those of your ideal buyers. And although it may require a tiny bit of luck to sell your house quickly, having a fine foundational strategy is necessary.
