The sheer history inhabiting every inch of this house is stunning. You'd inhale with every breath, what joy. Photos of the stairs, the rafters and beams almost give me chills.
It's apparently between Baugé-en-Anjou and Noyant (east of Beaugé) as i found another listing locating it in Noyant. I have a hard time understanding who could live in such a place in such a run-down condition. Was it really used for living? There is so much work to be done to make it livable. If these buildings need new slate roofs (and insulation), that's gonna cost a lot. On our tiny house it cost us 10k€ (click on my name to go to my Instagram to see it). Imagine on these buildings.
This is a nice area in the Loire Valley. Lots of historical towns, lots of mansion-grade properties (chateaux) scattered in the countryside. I'm just dying over each one here for instance: https://www.bellesdemeures.com/recherche?ci=490018,490007,490328&idtypebien=13&tri=Selection&idtt=2
This is close to a wine producing area. Reds (dry and even bubbly!), whites (sweet, dry and bubbly), rosés, each possible kind of wine.
And I forgot to add that it's about 30min from where I live 🙂
Kelly, Admin
Between your cooking and beautiful home, can I come live with you? 😀
*And kiwis?!
Sure, you'd be welcome! And our guest bed & bath are almost finished in our barn! And yup, kiwis, lots of them, we got 75 kgs (165 lbs) in December out of 2 trees (one male & one female). We only have a few left to eat.
Oh how I wish I had been born rich….I could spend my whole life restoring all of the incredible buildings just at this one location!

Defender heads to City Ground in loan deal...
Lee Peltier has joined Nottingham Forest on loan until the end of the season.
The 27-year-old, who has made 27 appearances this season, last played in the 5-1 defeat at home to Bolton.
Lee, who was signed by Neil Warnock in the summer of 2012 and was made club captain last term, has made 73 appearances in total and scored his only goal in the 1-1 draw at Blackpool on Boxing Day.
"We had an offer for Lee to go to Forest on loan," said manager Brian McDermott.
"He felt he wanted to go because he isn't in the team at this moment in time, and we've agreed to let him go."

My TeleVue Starbeam no longer works reliably, in that the LED does not illuminate when the ON/OFF switch is turned on.
I have changed batteries with no effect.
However, when I tap the bottom of the ON/OFF switch, the LED light does come on (usually).
Clearly there is a loose connection somewhere.
Any ideas about how to fix this?
Thank you.

At its AGM on 25 June NMVC's elder statesman, 85 year old Mike Davis, retired from his post on the Executive Committee and was presented with a large, framed photo of the Choir signed by the members in recognition of the magnificent service he has given to the choir.
Mike joined the former Northampton Men's Own Choir in 1953 aged 19 and some 66 years later Mike is still singing with the choir, which was renamed Northampton Male Voice Choir in 1980.
Mike has been a member of the Choir's Executive Committee for 55 years and was Choir Secretary from 1961 to 1993
Speaking at the AGM, NMVC Chairman, John Waller, said "Mike Davis is the perfect male voice chorister. He has a great voice and an infectious love of singing. His commitment is one hundred per cent and he is a great role model for all choristers."
NMVC Musical Director, Stephen Bell, added "Mike's constant encouragement and support has been invaluable to me during my tenure as Musical Director of NMVC and without Mike Davis, the catalyst for recruitment campaigns and growth would not have happened."
Mike, whose favourite song is "What Would I Do Without My Music", said "I'm thrilled and honoured that my involvement with the choir has been acknowledged in this way. It's always been my wish for Northampton to be the home of a great male voice choir. Being a member of this wonderful choir has become a huge part of my life and I will strive to remain a member for as long as I can."

Forecasting Sales for Your Food Truck Business
In your mobile food business, sales are what determine whether you're able to make it through your first year of operation. Forecasting your future sales is a critical step in ensuring that your food truck is profitable. Prospective investors want to know whether your projected sales will support your business needs. Although no set-in-stone formula can project your sales for your truck, making a well-informed guess is critical to planning your future funding. Pulling numbers out of thin air does nothing for you or investors.
You need to show your sales forecast for the first three years in your business plan. Then show your sales growth for the next two years.
Estimating customer numbers
You may already have a few specific locations, or at least a general idea of some, that you plan to use as regular stops or venues. A great way to find out how many walk-up customers you can expect is to compare your potential business to existing mobile kitchens in those areas. Visit trucks of similar size and cuisine type. Although these businesses may turn out to be your competitors, you can obtain valuable information by observing how many covers (number of meals) they serve during peak hours. You may even speak with the owner to learn about how many covers he sees in a week.
Another way to project your customer count is to determine how long it'll take to produce a meal for a customer. Start your timing from the moment a customer places an order to the time the transaction is completed. Your projections will depend on the number of staff you have to complete the transaction and the type of cuisine and how it's prepared. For some styles of food, it may take up to ten minutes to turn an order. Other vendors who serve only prepackaged food can turn an order in two to three minutes.
After you've determined how quickly you can serve a single customer, you can estimate how many customers you can serve in an hour, during a full shift, or a full day. For example, if it takes four minutes to prepare a meal for a customer during a rush, you'll be able to serve 15 customers per hour, 45 customers per three-hour shift, or 90 customers a day if you're open for two three-hour shifts.
Don't base your approximations on the maximum number of people you can serve from your truck with perfect conditions because you'll unlikely be able to hit or maintain these numbers during the first 12 to 24 months of operation. To be conservative in your sales forecasting, calculate how many customers you can serve, and then use only 75 to 80 percent of that number. After you've started your operation, you'll be able to adjust these numbers to match your real sales figures.
Estimating average spending per customer
Using your customer count estimate, the next step is to put together a per-person average based on your menu prices. Make sure you use moderately priced menu items to figure out this average, because you can't expect all your customers to buy the most expensive (or even the cheapest) item on your menu every time.
Also, be sure to consider the number of customers and per-customer spending averages for different meal periods. For example, lunch periods tend to bring in lower average sales than dinner periods, unless you're able to park in central business districts with a lot of foot traffic and hungry workers.
Days of the week also bring in different sales numbers; for example, Thursday nights are usually more profitable for food trucks than Monday nights. You'll also want to break out your food sales from your beverage sales because each of these items is broken out separately when you determine the amounts to purchase and keep in your inventory.
For example: Use a $6 menu item as the base price for your mid-level menu entries. If you add in a $2 side item and a $1 beverage, you have an average of $9 of spending per customer (also known as a check average). To give yourself an average for your slower times, you can cut out the side or divide it by two to represent the idea that every other customer will choose to purchase a side dish in his order.
Generate a chart showing estimated number of customers per meal period each day, as well as the per-person spending average. The data generated in these charts help you determine your estimated monthly and annual sales.
Estimating sales for the year
After mapping out weekly sales projections, some mobile food vendors merely multiply their weekly sales totals by 52 weeks to get a year's sales projection. Other owners divide the year into seasons to reflect the business they'll receive during different times of the year. Although using the latter method is a little more complicated because seasons vary per region, it can be more accurate because some months are usually busier than others.
Think about what an average week's sales may look like, and then ask yourself what your potential earnings are during a slow week and during a busy week.
Consulting with seasoned food truck employees or owners in your area can help you decide what kind of traffic or sales volume to expect at different times of the year. These estimations vary from truck to truck and depend on your menu and your locations. After even a few months of operating, you'll have a much better idea of what to anticipate as far as sales go, and you can alter your estimations accordingly. You should also evaluate your operations and promotion efforts if sales aren't matching the projections in your business plan.
To show your potential investors how your business will grow, you need to show them more than a single year of sales forecasting. Financial professionals consider 10 to 25 percent to be a strong sign of long-term growth. You can use 10 percent as your growth factor to apply to your first year's sales forecast to show strong growth potential in your second and third years in business, without setting the bar too high and having investors question your ability to grow your business.
Here is a one-year sales forecast for a mock food truck business. As you can see, the chart is broken into separate food and beverage sales per day and shift. This forecast shows investors how many covers occur each shift and day as well as the average spending of each cover.

Admit it. We are all f*cked up
You read the title right. I know I don't usually post blogs with titles that are so blunt and forthcoming, but today, I just felt like being a little bit more authentic to myself. I want to write something unfiltered, real, raw and without worrying about judgement or controversy. These are my feelings and my take on things. I am not writing this to change your perspective but to maybe get an understanding of mine. After all, we all see the world from different sets of eyes right?
Single AF
People always seem to come to me for advice. Especially when it comes to love and relationships. I will admit that sometimes this makes me laugh as I am probably the most single person I know. I pay my own way, I rely on myself more than I rely on others, I spoil myself with gifts, I keep myself accountable and I call myself out on my own bullshit. (Sometimes I don't realise it straight away but hey, I am human)
I've achieved more in life in the times of being single and experienced more self awareness in the times of solitude. I have no problem taking myself out to a fancy dinner and eating on my own, nor do I have an issue going to watch a movie by myself. Heck, I've even gone and experienced other countries as a solo traveller. So when people come to me for advice on love, sometimes I wonder why they do so. Aren't I the one that needs help and advice? Then it gets me thinking, why is it that I can give really good advice but yet still single AF and in a relationship with myself?
When people say, "I don't want to date that person because they come with a lot of baggage." I challenge you to ask yourself this. Can you honestly say that you have no baggage? We all have experienced our journeys in life with some sort of childhood disappointment, some type of heartbreak or loss and as we continue to grow older, we collectively experience more.
Yes our journeys and past experiences are certainly different from the next, but in some form or another, we have all experienced the pain of losing something we loved, experienced the effects of having our egos bruised and we have all experienced the disappointment of not getting what we want.
It's unfortunate but it's true, some people have experienced traumas that others are lucky enough to never encounter in their lives but in the bigger scheme of things, we have all collected our own form of baggage. So if we all have baggage, then why do we judge someone else on their own baggage? Isn't it something we should just accept of each other?
Why do we judge others when instead we could find out more about themselves. If we took the time to find out how someone grew up and learnt what they've experienced, we would get a better understanding of what triggers them and also learn what it is they are seeking in order to feel appreciated. There's a reason there is that saying, "Seek to understand in order to be understood."
So back to relationships. I honestly think that the best relationships we will ever experience are where each party takes the time to understand each other's f*cked-upness. This applies to not only romantic relationships but to business and friends. If we could see where the other person was coming from, we would be able to learn how to work in harmony with them. Instead of judgement, we would understand. When someone feels understood, they feel valued, and when one feels valued, they want to give more.
When two people come into union, I guess it's two people learning about each other's fcked-upness and seeing whether or not they can handle the fcked up-ness. The secret to having a healthy relationship is to realise and be aware of how f*cked up each other is and to rise above it. We must work on our own self growth and heal our own traumas and scars.
We can't pour from an empty cup so fill your own cup first so that you have a lot to offer another without running yourself dry. Instead of pointing fingers , seek to understand the other. I've always believed that there are three sides to every story; your side, their side and the truth lies somewhere in the middle.
So my question is, why do we judge each other? At the end of the day, we are all f*cked up.

A choir ( /ˈkwaɪər/ ; also known as a quire, chorale or chorus) is a musical ensemble of singers. Choral music, in turn, is the music written specifically for such an ensemble to perform. Choirs may perform music from the classical music repertoire, which spans from the medieval era to the present, or popular music repertoire. Most choirs are led by a conductor, who leads the performances with arm and face gestures.
A musical ensemble, also known as a music group or musical group, is a group of people who perform instrumental or vocal music, with the ensemble typically known by a distinct name. Some music ensembles consist solely of instruments, such as the jazz quartet or the orchestra. Some music ensembles consist solely of singers, such as choirs and doo wop groups. In both popular music and classical music, there are ensembles in which both instrumentalists and singers perform, such as the rock band or the Baroque chamber group for basso continuo and one or more singers. In classical music, trios or quartets either blend the sounds of musical instrument families or group together instruments from the same instrument family, such as string ensembles or wind ensembles. Some ensembles blend the sounds of a variety of instrument families, such as the orchestra, which uses a string section, brass instruments, woodwinds and percussion instruments, or the concert band, which uses brass, woodwinds and percussion.
Classical music is art music produced or rooted in the traditions of Western culture, including both liturgical (religious) and secular music. While a more precise term is also used to refer to the period from 1750 to 1820, this article is about the broad span of time from before the 6th century AD to the present day, which includes the Classical period and various other periods. The central norms of this tradition became codified between 1550 and 1900, which is known as the common-practice period.
Medieval music consists of songs, instrumental pieces, and liturgical music from about 500 A.D. to 1400. Medieval music was an era of Western music, including liturgical music used for the church, and secular music, non-religious music. Medieval music includes solely vocal music, such as Gregorian chant and choral music, solely instrumental music, and music that uses both voices and instruments. Gregorian chant was sung by monks during Catholic Mass. The Mass is a reenactment of Christ's Last Supper, intended to provide a spiritual connection between man and God. Part of this connection was established through music. This era begins with the fall of the Western Roman Empire in the fifth century and ends sometime in the early fifteenth century. Establishing the end of the medieval era and the beginning of the Renaissance music era is difficult, since the trends started at different times in different regions. The date range in this article is the one usually adopted by musicologists.
A body of singers who perform together as a group is called a choir or chorus. The former term is very often applied to groups affiliated with a church (whether or not they actually occupy the choir) and the second to groups that perform in theatres or concert halls, but this distinction is far from rigid. Choirs may sing without instrumental accompaniment, with the accompaniment of a piano or pipe organ, with a small ensemble (e.g., harpsichord, cello and double bass for a Baroque piece), or with a full orchestra of 70 to 100 musicians.
A choir, also sometimes called quire, is the area of a church or cathedral that provides seating for the clergy and church choir. It is in the western part of the chancel, between the nave and the sanctuary, which houses the altar and Church tabernacle. In larger medieval churches it contained choir-stalls, seating aligned with the side of the church, so at right-angles to the seating for the congregation in the nave. Smaller medieval churches may not have a choir in the architectural sense at all, and they are often lacking in churches built by all denominations after the Protestant Reformation, though the Gothic Revival revived them as a distinct feature.
The piano is an acoustic, stringed musical instrument invented in Italy by Bartolomeo Cristofori around the year 1700, in which the strings are struck by hammers. It is played using a keyboard, which is a row of keys that the performer presses down or strikes with the fingers and thumbs of both hands to cause the hammers to strike the strings.
The pipe organ is a musical instrument that produces sound by driving pressurized air through the organ pipes selected from a keyboard. Because each pipe produces a single pitch, the pipes are provided in sets called ranks, each of which has a common timbre and volume throughout the keyboard compass. Most organs have many ranks of pipes of differing timbre, pitch, and volume that the player can employ singly or in combination through the use of controls called stops.
The term "Choir" has the secondary definition of a subset of an ensemble; thus one speaks of the "woodwind choir" of an orchestra, or different "choirs" of voices or instruments in a polychoral composition. In typical 18th- to 21st-century oratorios and masses, chorus or choir is usually understood to imply more than one singer per part, in contrast to the quartet of soloists also featured in these works.
The Venetian polychoral style was a type of music of the late Renaissance and early Baroque eras which involved spatially separate choirs singing in alternation. It represented a major stylistic shift from the prevailing polyphonic writing of the middle Renaissance, and was one of the major stylistic developments which led directly to the formation of what is now known as the Baroque style. A commonly encountered term for the separated choirs is cori spezzati—literally, separated choirs.
An oratorio is a large musical composition for orchestra, choir, and soloists. Like most operas, an oratorio includes the use of a choir, soloists, an instrumental ensemble, various distinguishable characters, and arias. However, opera is musical theatre, while oratorio is strictly a concert piece – though oratorios are sometimes staged as operas, and operas are sometimes presented in concert form. In an oratorio the choir often plays a central role, and there is generally little or no interaction between the characters, and no props or elaborate costumes. A particularly important difference is in the typical subject matter of the text. Opera tends to deal with history and mythology, including age-old devices of romance, deception, and murder, whereas the plot of an oratorio often deals with sacred topics, making it appropriate for performance in the church. Protestant composers took their stories from the Bible, while Catholic composers looked to the lives of saints, as well as to Biblical topics. Oratorios became extremely popular in early 17th-century Italy partly because of the success of opera and the Catholic Church's prohibition of spectacles during Lent. Oratorios became the main choice of music during that period for opera audiences.
The mass, a form of sacred musical composition, is a choral composition that sets the invariable portions of the Eucharistic liturgy to music. Most masses are settings of the liturgy in Latin, the liturgical sacred language of the Catholic Church's Roman liturgy, but there are a significant number written in the languages of non-Catholic countries where vernacular worship has long been the norm. For example, there are many masses written in English for the Church of England. Musical masses take their name from the Catholic liturgy called "the mass" as well.
Choirs are often led by a conductor or choirmaster. Most often choirs consist of four sections intended to sing in four part harmony, but there is no limit to the number of possible parts as long as there is a singer available to sing the part: Thomas Tallis wrote a 40-part motet entitled Spem in alium , for eight choirs of five parts each; Krzysztof Penderecki's Stabat Mater is for three choirs of 16 voices each, a total of 48 parts. Other than four, the most common number of parts are three, five, six, and eight.
Conducting is the art of directing a musical performance, such as an orchestral or choral concert. It has been defined as "the art of directing the simultaneous performance of several players or singers by the use of gesture." The primary duties of the conductor are to interpret the score in a way which reflects the specific indications in that score, set the tempo, ensure correct entries by ensemble members, and "shape" the phrasing where appropriate. Conductors communicate with their musicians primarily through hand gestures, usually with the aid of a baton, and may use other gestures or signals such as eye contact. A conductor usually supplements their direction with verbal instructions to their musicians in rehearsal.
Thomas Tallis was an English composer who occupies a primary place in anthologies of English choral music. He is considered one of England's greatest composers, and he is honoured for his original voice in English musicianship. No contemporaneous portrait of Tallis survives; the one painted by Gerard Vandergucht dates from 150 years after Tallis died, and there is no reason to suppose that it is a likeness. In a rare existing copy of his blackletter signature, he spelled his name "Tallys".
In western music, a motet is a mainly vocal musical composition, of highly diverse form and style, from the late medieval era to the present. The motet was one of the pre-eminent polyphonic forms of Renaissance music. According to Margaret Bent, "a piece of music in several parts with words" is as precise a definition of the motet as will serve from the 13th to the late 16th century and beyond. The late 13th-century theorist Johannes de Grocheo believed that the motet was "not to be celebrated in the presence of common people, because they do not notice its subtlety, nor are they delighted in hearing it, but in the presence of the educated and of those who are seeking out subtleties in the arts".
Choirs can sing with or without instrumental accompaniment. Singing without accompaniment is called a cappella singing (although the American Choral Directors Association [1] discourages this usage in favor of "unaccompanied," since a cappella denotes singing "as in the chapel" and much unaccompanied music today is secular). Accompanying instruments vary widely, from only one instrument (a piano or pipe organ) to a full orchestra of 70 to 100 musicians; for rehearsals a piano or organ accompaniment is often used, even if a different instrumentation is planned for performance, or if the choir is rehearsing unaccompanied music.
A cappella music is group or solo singing without instrumental accompaniment, or a piece intended to be performed in this way. The term "a cappella" was originally intended to differentiate between Renaissance polyphony and Baroque concertato style. In the 19th century, a renewed interest in Renaissance polyphony coupled with an ignorance of the fact that vocal parts were often doubled by instrumentalists led to the term coming to mean unaccompanied vocal music. The term is also used, albeit rarely, as a synonym for alla breve.
The American Choral Directors Association (ACDA), headquartered in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, is a non-profit organization with the stated purpose of promoting excellence in the field of choral music. Its membership comprises approximately 22,000 choral directors representing over a million singers.
An orchestra is a large instrumental ensemble typical of classical music, which combines instruments from different families, including bowed string instruments such as the violin, viola, cello, and double bass, brass instruments such as the horn, trumpet, trombone and tuba, woodwinds such as the flute, oboe, clarinet and bassoon, and percussion instruments such as the timpani, bass drum, triangle, snare drum, cymbals, and mallet percussion instruments each grouped in sections. Other instruments such as the piano and celesta may sometimes appear in a fifth keyboard section or may stand alone, as may the concert harp and, for performances of some modern compositions, electronic instruments.
Many choirs perform in one or many locations such as a church, opera house, or school hall. In some cases choirs join up to become one "mass" choir that performs for a special concert. In this case they provide a series of songs or musical works to celebrate and provide entertainment to others.
Conducting is the art of directing a musical performance, such as a choral concert, by way of visible gestures with the hands, arms, face and head. The primary duties of the conductor or choirmaster are to unify performers, set the tempo, execute clear preparations and beats (meter), and to listen critically and shape the sound of the ensemble. [2]
A concert is a live music performance in front of an audience. The performance may be by a single musician, sometimes then called a recital, or by a musical ensemble, such as an orchestra, choir, or band. Concerts are held in a wide variety and size of settings, from private houses and small nightclubs, dedicated concert halls, arenas and parks to large multipurpose buildings, and even sports stadiums. Indoor concerts held in the largest venues are sometimes called arena concerts or amphitheatre concerts. Informal names for a concert include show and gig.
A musician is a person who plays a musical instrument or is musically talented. Anyone who composes, conducts, or performs music is referred to as a musician. A musician who plays a musical instrument is also known as an instrumentalist.
In musical terminology, tempo is the speed or pace of a given piece. In classical music, tempo is typically indicated with an instruction at the start of a piece and is usually measured in beats per minute. In modern classical compositions, a "metronome mark" in beats per minute may supplement or replace the normal tempo marking, while in modern genres like electronic dance music, tempo will typically simply be stated in bpm.
The conductor or choral director typically stands on a raised platform and he or she may or may not use a baton; using a baton gives the conductor's gestures greater visibility, but many choral conductors prefer conducting with their hands for greater expressiveness, particularly when working with a smaller ensemble. In the 2010s, most conductors do not play an instrument when conducting, although in earlier periods of classical music history, leading an ensemble while playing an instrument was common. In Baroque music from the 1600s to the 1750s, conductors performing in the 2010s may lead an ensemble while playing a harpsichord or the violin (see Concertmaster). Conducting while playing a piano may also be done with musical theatre pit orchestras. Communication is typically non-verbal during a performance (this is strictly the case in art music, but in jazz big bands or large pop ensembles, there may be occasional spoken instructions). However, in rehearsals, the conductor will often give verbal instructions to the ensemble, since they generally also serve as an artistic director who crafts the ensemble's interpretation of the music.
Conductors act as guides to the choirs they conduct. They choose the works to be performed and study their scores, to which they may make certain adjustments (e.g., regarding tempo, repetitions of sections, assignment of vocal solos and so on), work out their interpretation, and relay their vision to the singers. Choral conductors may also have to conduct instrumental ensembles such as orchestras if the choir is singing a piece for choir and orchestra. They may also attend to organizational matters, such as scheduling rehearsals, [3] planning a concert season, hearing auditions, and promoting their ensemble in the media.
Most Eastern Orthodox Christian churches, some American Protestant groups, and traditional Jewish synagogues do not accompany their songs with musical instruments. In churches of the Western Rite the accompanying instrument is usually the organ, although in colonial America, the Moravian Church used groups of strings and winds. Many churches which use a contemporary worship format use a small amplified band to accompany the singing, and Roman Catholic Churches may use, at their discretion, additional orchestral accompaniment.
In addition to leading of singing in which the congregation participates, such as hymns and service music, some church choirs sing full liturgies, including propers (introit, gradual, communion antiphons appropriate for the different times of the liturgical year). Chief among these are the Anglican and Roman Catholic churches; far more common however is the performance of anthems or motets at designated times in the service.
Choirs are also categorized by the institutions in which they operate:
Some choirs are categorized by the type of music they perform, such as
In the United States, middle schools and high schools often offer choir as a class or activity for students. Some choirs participate in competitions. One kind of choir popular in high schools is show choir. Middle school and high school is an important time, as it is when students' voices are changing. Although girls experience voice change, it is much more drastic in boys. A lot of literature in music education has been focused on how male voice change works and how to help adolescent male singers. [4] Research done by John Cooksey categorizes male voice change into five stages, and most middle school boys are in the early stages of change. [4] The vocal range of both male and female students may be limited while their voice is changing, and choir teachers must be able to adapt, which can be a challenge to teaching this age range. [5]
Nationally, male students are enrolled in choir at much lower numbers than their female students. [6] The music education field has had a longtime interest in the "missing males" in music programs. [6] Speculation as to why there aren't as many boys in choir, and possible solutions vary widely. One researcher found that boys who enjoy choir in middle school may not always go on to high school choir because it simply doesn't fit into their schedules. [7] Some research speculates that one reason that boys' participation in choir is so low is because the U.S. does not encourage male singers. [8] Often, schools will have a women's choir, which helps the balance issues mixed choirs face by taking on extra female singers. However, without a men's choir also, this could be making the problem worse by not giving boys as many opportunities to sing as girls. [6] Other researchers have noted that having an ensemble or even a workshop dedicated to male singers can help with their confidence and singing abilities. [7] [8]
There are various schools of thought regarding how the various sections should be arranged on stage. It is the conductor's decision on where the different voice types are placed. In symphonic choirs it is common (though by no means universal) to order the choir behind the orchestra from highest to lowest voices from left to right, corresponding to the typical string layout. In a cappella or piano-accompanied situations it is not unusual for the men to be in the back and the women in front; some conductors prefer to place the basses behind the sopranos, arguing that the outer voices need to tune to each other.
More experienced choirs may sing with the voices all mixed. Sometimes singers of the same voice are grouped in pairs or threes. Proponents of this method argue that it makes it easier for each individual singer to hear and tune to the other parts, but it requires more independence from each singer. Opponents argue that this method loses the spatial separation of individual voice lines, an otherwise valuable feature for the audience, and that it eliminates sectional resonance, which lessens the effective volume of the chorus. For music with double (or multiple) choirs, usually the members of each choir are together, sometimes significantly separated, especially in performances of 16th-century music (such as works in the Venetian polychoral style). Some composers actually specify that choirs should be separated, such as in Benjamin Britten's War Requiem . Some composers use separated choirs to create "antiphonal" effects, in which one choir seems to "answer" the other choir in a musical dialogue.
Consideration is also given to the spacing of the singers. Studies have found that not only the actual formation, but the amount of space (both laterally and circumambiently) affects the perception of sound by choristers and auditors. [9]
The origins of choral music are found in traditional music, as singing in big groups is extremely widely spread in traditional cultures (both singing in one part, or in unison, like in Ancient Greece, as well as singing in parts, or in harmony, like in contemporary European choral music). [10]
The oldest unambiguously choral repertory that survives is that of ancient Greece, of which the 2nd century BC Delphic hymns and the 2nd century AD. hymns of Mesomedes are the most complete. The original Greek chorus sang its part in Greek drama, and fragments of works by Euripides ( Orestes ) and Sophocles ( Ajax ) are known from papyri. The Seikilos epitaph (2c BC) is a complete song (although possibly for solo voice). One of the latest examples, Oxyrhynchus hymn (3c) is also of interest as the earliest Christian music.
Of the Roman drama's music a single line of Terence surfaced in the 18c. However, musicologist Thomas J. Mathiesen comments that it is no longer believed to be authentic. [11]
The earliest notated music of western Europe is Gregorian chant, along with a few other types of chant which were later subsumed (or sometimes suppressed) by the Catholic Church. This tradition of unison choir singing lasted from sometime between the times of St. Ambrose (4th century) and Gregory the Great (6th century) up to the present. During the later Middle Ages, a new type of singing involving multiple melodic parts, called organum, became predominant for certain functions, but initially this polyphony was only sung by soloists. Further developments of this technique included clausulae, conductus and the motet (most notably the isorhythmic motet), which, unlike the Renaissance motet, describes a composition with different texts sung simultaneously in different voices. The first evidence of polyphony with more than one singer per part comes in the Old Hall Manuscript (1420, though containing music from the late 14th century), in which there are apparent divisi, one part dividing into two simultaneously sounding notes.
During the Renaissance, sacred choral music was the principal type of formally notated music in Western Europe. Throughout the era, hundreds of masses and motets (as well as various other forms) were composed for a cappella choir, though there is some dispute over the role of instruments during certain periods and in certain areas. Some of the better-known composers of this time include Guillaume Dufay, Josquin des Prez, Giovanni Pierluigi da Palestrina, John Dunstable, and William Byrd; the glories of Renaissance polyphony were choral, sung by choirs of great skill and distinction all over Europe. Choral music from this period continues to be popular with [12] many choirs throughout the world today.
The madrigal, a partsong conceived for amateurs to sing in a chamber setting, originated at this period. Although madrigals were initially dramatic settings of unrequited-love poetry or mythological stories in Italy, they were imported into England and merged with the more dancelike balletto, celebrating carefree songs of the seasons, or eating and drinking. To most English speakers, the word madrigal now refers to the latter, rather than to madrigals proper, which refers to a poetic form of lines consisting of seven and eleven syllables each.
The interaction of sung voices in Renaissance polyphony influenced Western music for centuries. Composers are routinely trained in the "Palestrina style" to this day, especially as codified by the 18c music theorist Johann Joseph Fux. Composers of the early 20th century also wrote in Renaissance-inspired styles. Herbert Howells wrote a Mass in the Dorian mode entirely in strict Renaissance style, and Ralph Vaughan Williams's Mass in G minor is an extension of this style. Anton Webern wrote his dissertation on the Choralis Constantinus of Heinrich Isaac and the contrapuntal techniques of his serial music may be informed by this study.
The Baroque period in music is associated with the development around 1600 of the figured bass and the basso continuo system. The figured bass part was performed by the basso continuo group, which at minimum included a chord-playing instrument (e.g., pipe organ, harpsichord, lute) and a bass instrument (e.g., violone). Baroque vocal music explored dramatic implications in the realm of solo vocal music such as the monodies of the Florentine Camerata and the development of early opera. This innovation was in fact an extension of established practice of accompanying choral music at the organ, either from a skeletal reduced score (from which otherwise lost pieces can sometimes be reconstructed) or from a basso seguente, a part on a single staff containing the lowest sounding part (the bass part).
A new genre was the vocal concertato, combining voices and instruments; its origins may be sought in the polychoral music of the Venetian school. Claudio Monteverdi (1567–1643) brought it to perfection with his Vespers and his Eighth Book of Madrigals, which call for great virtuosity on the part of singers and instruments alike. (His Fifth Book includes a basso continuo "for harpsichord or lute".) His pupil Heinrich Schütz (1585–1672) (who had earlier studied with Giovanni Gabrieli) introduced the new style to Germany. Alongside the new music of the seconda pratica , contrapuntal motets in the stile antico or old style continued to be written well into the 19th century. Choirs at this time were usually quite small and that singers could be classified as suited to church or to chamber singing. Monteverdi, himself a singer, is documented as taking part in performances of his Magnificat with one voice per part. [13]
Independent instrumental accompaniment opened up new possibilities for choral music. Verse anthems alternated accompanied solos with choral sections; the best-known composers of this genre were Orlando Gibbons and Henry Purcell. Grands motets (such as those of Lully and Delalande) separated these sections into separate movements. Oratorio, (of which Giacomo Carissimi was a pioneer), extended this concept into concert-length works, usually based on Biblical or moral stories.
A pinnacle of baroque choral music, (particularly oratorio), may be found in George Frideric Handel's works, notably Messiah and Israel in Egypt . While the modern chorus of hundreds had to await the growth of Choral Societies and his centennial commemoration concert, we find Handel already using a variety of performing forces, from the soloists of the Chandos Anthems to larger groups (whose proportions are still quite different from modern orchestra choruses):
Yesterday [Oct. 6] there was a Rehearsal of the Coronation Anthem in Westminster-Abby, set to musick by the famous Mr Hendall: there being 40 voices, and about 160 violins, Trumpets, Hautboys, Kettle-Drums and Bass' proportionable..!— Norwich Gazette, October 14, 1727
Lutheran composers wrote instrumentally accompanied cantatas, often based on chorale tunes. Substantial late 17th-century sacred choral works in the emerging German tradition exist (the cantatas of Dietrich Buxtehude being a prime example), though the Lutheran church cantata did not assume its more codified, recognizable form until the early 18th century. Georg Philipp Telemann (based in Frankfurt) wrote over 1000 cantatas, many of which were engraved and published (e.g. his Harmonische Gottesdienst) and Christoph Graupner (based in Darmstadt) over 1400. The cantatas of Johann Sebastian Bach (1685–1750) are perhaps the most recognizable (and often-performed) contribution to this repertoire: his obituary mentions five complete cycles of his cantatas, of which three, comprising some 200 works, are known today, in addition to motets. Bach himself rarely used the term cantata. Motet refers to his church music without orchestra accompaniment, but instruments playing colla parte with the voices. His works with accompaniment consists of his Passions, Masses, the Magnificat and the cantatas.
A point of hot controversy today is the so-called "Rifkin hypothesis," which re-examines the famous "Entwurff" Bach's 1730 memo to the Leipzig City Council (A Short but Most Necessary Draft for a Well Appointed Church Music) calling for at least 12 singers. In light of Bach's responsibility to provide music to four churches and be able to perform double choir compositions with a substitute for each voice, Joshua Rifkin concludes that Bach's music was normally written with one voice per part in mind. A few sets of original performing parts include ripieni who reinforce rather than slavishly double the vocal quartet.
Composers of the late 18th century became fascinated with the new possibilities of the symphony and other instrumental music, and generally neglected choral music. Mozart's mostly sacred choral works stand out as some of his greatest (such as the "Great" Mass in C minor and Requiem in D minor, the latter of which is highly regarded). Haydn became more interested in choral music near the end of his life following his visits to England in the 1790s, when he heard various Handel oratorios performed by large forces; he wrote a series of masses beginning in 1797 and his two great oratorios The Creation and The Seasons . Beethoven wrote only two masses, both intended for liturgical use, although his Missa solemnis is probably suitable only for the grandest ceremonies due to its length, difficulty and large-scale scoring. He also pioneered the use of chorus as part of symphonic texture with his Ninth Symphony and Choral Fantasia.
In the 19th century, sacred music escaped from the church and leaped onto the concert stage, with large sacred works unsuitable for church use, such as Berlioz's Te Deum and Requiem, and Brahms's Ein deutsches Requiem . Rossini's Stabat mater, Schubert's masses, and Verdi's Requiem also exploited the grandeur offered by instrumental accompaniment. Oratorios also continued to be written, clearly influenced by Handel's models. Berlioz's L'enfance du Christ and Mendelssohn's Elijah and St Paul are in the category. Schubert, Mendelssohn, and Brahms also wrote secular cantatas, the best known of which are Brahms's Schicksalslied and Nänie .
A few composers developed a cappella music, especially Bruckner, whose masses and motets startlingly juxtapose Renaissance counterpoint with chromatic harmony. Mendelssohn and Brahms also wrote significant a cappella motets. The amateur chorus (beginning chiefly as a social outlet) began to receive serious consideration as a compositional venue for the part-songs of Schubert, Schumann, Mendelssohn, Brahms, and others. These 'singing clubs' were often for women or men separately, and the music was typically in four-part (hence the name "part-song") and either a cappella or with simple instrumentation. At the same time, the Cecilian movement attempted a restoration of the pure Renaissance style in Catholic churches.

As in other genres of music, choral music underwent a period of experimentation and development during the 20th century. While few well-known composers focused primarily on choral music, most significant composers of the early century produced some fine examples that have entered the repertoire.
The early modernist composers, such as Richard Strauss, Sergei Rachmaninoff and Max Reger, contributed to the genre. Ralph Vaughan Williams's Mass in G minor harks back to the Renaissance style while exhibiting the vibrancy of new harmonic languages. Vaughan Williams also arranged English and Scottish folk songs. Arnold Schoenberg's Friede auf Erden is a tonal kaleidoscope, whose tonal centers shift constantly (his harmonically innovative Verklärte Nacht for strings dates from the same period). Ukrainian composer Mykola Leontovych explored new ways of harmonizing and arranging Ukrainian folk songs, producing masterpieces such as Dudaryk and Shchedryk, the latter of which featured a four-note ostinato theme and became a popular Christmas carol known as Carol of the Bells after Peter J. Wilhousky translated it.
The advent of atonality and other non-traditional harmonic systems and techniques in the 20th century also affected choral music. Serial music is represented by choral works by Arnold Schoenberg, including the anthem Dreimal Tausend Jahre, while the composer's signature use of Sprechstimme is evident in his setting of Psalm 130 De Profundis. Paul Hindemith's distinctive modal language is represented both by his a cappella Mass and by his Six Chansons (to texts by Rilke), while a more contrapuntally dissonant style comes through in his secular requiem, When Lilacs Last in the Dooryard Bloom'd. Olivier Messiaen also demonstrates dissonant counterpoint in his Cinq Rechants, which tell the Tristan and Isolde story. Charles Ives' psalm settings exemplify the composer's incomparably radical harmonic language. Tone clusters and aleatory elements play a prominent role in the choral music of Krzysztof Penderecki, who wrote the St. Luke Passio, and György Ligeti, who wrote both a Requiem and a separate Lux Aeterna. Milton Babbitt incorporated integral serialism into works for children's chorus, while Daniel Pinkham wrote for choir and electronic tape. Meredith Monk's Panda Chant and Astronaut Anthem explore overtones in an unconventional text setting. Though difficult and rarely performed by amateurs, pieces that demonstrate such unfamiliar idioms have found their way into the repertories of the finest semi-professional and professional choirs around the world.[ citation needed ]
More accessible styles of choral music include that of Benjamin Britten, including his War Requiem , Five Flower Songs, and Rejoice in the Lamb . Francis Poulenc's Motets pour le temps de noël, Gloria, and Mass in G are often performed. A primitivist approach is exemplified by Carl Orff's widely performed Carmina Burana. In the United States, Aaron Copland, Samuel Barber, and Randall Thompson wrote signature American pieces. In Eastern Europe, Béla Bartók and Zoltán Kodály wrote a small amount of music for choirs. Frank Martin's Mass for double choir combines modality and allusion to Medieval and Renaissance forms with a distinctly modern harmonic language and has become the composer's most-performed work.
The so-called holy minimalists are represented by Arvo Pärt, whose Johannespassion and Magnificat have received regular performances; John Tavener (Song for Athene) and Henryk Górecki (Totus Tuus) share this label. American minimalism and post minimalism are represented by Steve Reich's The Desert Music , choral excerpts from Philip Glass's Einstein on the Beach and John Adams' The Death of Klinghoffer , and David Lang's Pulitzer Prize-winning Little Match Girl Passion.
At the turn of the 21st century, choral music has received a resurgence of interest partly due to a renewed interest in accessible choral idioms.[ citation needed ] Multi-cultural influences appear in Osvaldo Golijov's St. Mark Passion, which melds the Bach-style passion form with Latin American street-music, and Chen Yi's Chinese Myths Cantata melds atonal idioms with traditional Chinese melodies played on traditional Chinese instruments. Some composers began to earn their reputation based foremost on their choral output, including the highly popular John Rutter and Eric Whitacre. The large-scale dramatic works of Karl Jenkins seem to hark back to the theatricality of Orff, and the music of James MacMillan continues the tradition of boundary-pushing choral works from the United Kingdom begun by Britten, Walton, and Leighton. Meanwhile, composers such as John Williams (known primarily for film scores) and prominent concert orchestral composers such as Augusta Read Thomas, Sofia Gubaidulina, Aaron Jay Kernis, and Thomas Adès also contribute vital additions to the choral repertoire.
A number of traditions originating outside of classical concert-music have enriched the choral repertoire as well as providing new outlets to composers:
Apart from their roles in liturgy and entertainment, choirs and choruses may also have social-service functions, [14] including for mental health treatment [15] or as therapy for homeless and disadvanted people, like the Choir of Hard Knocks. [16]
A cantata is a vocal composition with an instrumental accompaniment, typically in several movements, often involving a choir.
The Grammy Award for Best Choral Performance has been awarded since 1961. There have been several minor changes to the name of the award over this time:
Josef Gabriel Rheinberger was an organist and composer, born in Liechtenstein and resident for most of his life in Germany.
Dr. Eric Nelson is an American choral conductor, clinician, and composer.
The Harvard–Radcliffe Collegium Musicum is a mixed chorus at Harvard University, composed of roughly 50 voices from undergraduate and graduate student populations. Founded in 1971 to coincide with the coeducational merger of Harvard and Radcliffe College, the Collegium drew from members of the Harvard Glee Club and the Radcliffe Choral Society to form a smaller mixed group that could represent Harvard on tours. Although the Collegium used to perform primarily early Renaissance music, its repertoire now draws from centuries of a cappella and orchestral selections. Together with the Harvard Glee Club (all-male) and the Radcliffe Choral Society (all-female), it is a member of the Harvard Choruses.

Soil Festival 2019 - A Joyful Celebration of Healthy Soil, Local Food and Community/
The clouds teased on Saturday, May 4th, but the rain stayed away from the moment Atlanta Brass Connection kicked off Soil Festival 2019 until the last guests said their farewells. The teams at Food Well Alliance and Truly Living Well are so grateful to everyone who made the 5th annual Soil Festival such a memorable day! We welcomed nearly 1,500 attendees who came to experience life on the urban farm — many for the very first time — and discovered a slice of paradise in southwest Atlanta.
We never could have delivered such a rich diversity of options without our incredible host committee, and close to 100 volunteers, caterers, vendors, instructors, and exhibitors. Thank you!
The FarmBooth was back and better than before. Y'all looked AWESOME! Go find your photos if you haven't yet!
Workshops and farm tours were overflowing with people eager for tips on composting, gardening, harvesting, cooking, and more.
Featured chefs brought their A game and served up the most delicious local food! Plus we had the Good Food Truck on site serving some of the best tacos we've ever tasted. And Mocha Pops and Moki Pops for desert. Yum!
Could the kids activities get any better? We'll see, but it'll be hard to beat with Soccer in the Streets and STEAM Truck joining the ever-popular petting zoo, JR Murphy's storytelling, and a variety of activities and cooking demos.
The street party, beer garden, market and Atlanta Brass Connection added a whole new dimension to the festivities.
Lots of folks took Civil Bikes up on their invitation to join them for a bike ride to the festival.
Exhibitors booths served a steady stream of visitors with expertise and helpful info.
Swag bags with Compost Dos and Don'ts hankie and tin cup were a huge hit.
Everyone loved free compost for their gardens, and how about those easy to carry totes? We gave away more than 6 cubic yards (or 6,000 pounds) of healthy compost!
We're blown away by everyone's interest in learning more about the benefits of urban agriculture, local food, healthy soil and compost. So many of you let us know you'll be back next year with friends.
Yay! Yay! Soil!
In the meantime, our local food movement is thriving with multiple events happening across metro Atlanta throughout the year - volunteer opportunities, classes, boot camps, farmers markets, and more. Check out the latest happenings at foodwellalliance.org, and please encourage your friends to do the same. While there, they can also sign up for our newsletter.
One last thank you to everyone who filled out the Soil Festival 2019 survey. Your voice is heard! We appreciate your enthusiasm for this year's event and excellent suggestions for an even better experience next year. We can't wait to see you at Soil Festival 2020!
Hashtags and Highlights
"#SoilFestival2019 felt like a family reunion."
"We're proud to be in a community who values the importance of healthy soil and its impact for strong, resilient food systems."
"Thank you for caring and educating the public. I thought it was incredibly inclusive, fun, informative, and delicious! I'm telling everyone about the festival next year!"
"I was truly inspired to get more involved with everything food and farm related."
"Thank you for all that you do to encourage food independence. I brought my grandchildren and they loved it!"

Final Four capsule: Gonzaga Bulldogs
Fri., March 31, 2017, 6:08 p.m.
Starters: Nigel Williams-Goss – guard, Josh Perkins – guard, Jordan Mathews – guard, Johnathan Williams – forward, Przemek Karnowski – forward
Top scorer: Nigel Williams-Goss, 16.7 ppg
Reb. leader: Johnathan Williams, 6.6 rpg
Assists leader: Williams-Goss, 4.6 apg
Best player: Point guard Nigel Williams-Goss may be Gonzaga's most important or least replaceable player, but during the NCAA Tournament the best player has been forward Johnathan Williams. The forward has made 56 percent of his 3-pointers, 61 percent inside the arc and played stellar defense on the other teams' best scorers.
How to win: The Bulldogs boast balance but struggled against West Virginia's pressure defense during the Sweet 16. The best bet to beat the Zags appears to be pressuring the ball-handlers early in the possession to keep the ball out of the hands of GU's fearsome big men.
Three things to know
1. Gonzaga is playing in the Final Four for the first time in program history.
2. The Bulldogs have made 19 consecutive appearances at the NCAA Tournament.
3. Josh Perkins is the only starter to come to Gonzaga directly from a U.S. high school.

BNP lawmakers today said that their joining at the parliament will not give legitimacy to the 11th parliament which was "formed through an unacceptable election".
While discussing on supplementary budget for 2018-19 at the parliament, they also said that they joined the parliament as their party is not getting space for democratic practice like holding protest rallies in line with constitutional rights.
"Many are talking that why we have joined the parliament, when there is question that the last general election was unacceptable," Harunur Rashid said.
"The Election Commission has failed to hold an acceptable election. They have destroyed parliamentary election as well as local government election," he added.
"Joining of six BNP MPs in the parliament will not give legitimacy parliament," he said.
BNP lawmakers Harun and Rumeen Farhana, said that they joined the parliament as their party is not getting scope to hold democratic rights like holding processions, rallies and others.
"There is absence of democratic space for us to express our demands in line with constitution," Harun said. "Awami League or grand alliance are allowed to hold rallies with fun fare but when we want to hold rallies then question of permission arise."
He said that BNP lawmakers joined the parliament in a bid to restore good governance in the country.
"I urge leader of the house to hold a national dialogue with participation from leaders of political parties to have good governance in the country," he proposed.
Rumeen Farhana said that they have joined the parliament as the BNP was not allowed to hold protest. "We came here to talk about countrymen, party activist in the parliament," she said.
"All 300 constituencies were looted in the last election", she alleged.
She also demanded disclosure of the names of bad loan holders in the country.
Rumeen faced hue and cry from treasury bench several times and deputy speaker Fazle Rabbi Miah who was presiding over the sitting at the time, expunged unparliamentarily words of the speech of lone BNP woman lawmaker.
