the wasps suite

Vaughan Williams composed his incidental music for Aristophanes’ comedy The Wasps in 1909. This new edition of the 25-minute orchestral suite incorporates extensive notes on the score. Highlights from its five movements, which have folksong woven throughout, include the Overture, buzzing noisily into life, the witty ‘March Past of the Kitchen Utensils’, and the jig-like ballet that closes the suite. Corresponding orchestral parts for this edition are available to hire.Â

Vaughan Williams’ Overture to his 1909 incidental music for Aristophanes’ comedy The Wasps buzzes noisily into life with stinging trills and scales. The musical swarm subsides to give way the characterful folk-inflected melodies that are a hallmark of the composer’s style. A spiky opening march is offset by more lilting material, before the 9½ minute piece reaches its boisterous conclusion. This new edition incorporates extensive notes on the score.Corresponding orchestral parts for this edition are available to hire.Â

On 16 July 1936 a man in a brown suit stepped from the crowd on London’s Constitution Hill and pointed a loaded revolver at King Edward VIII as he rode past. The monarch was moments from death. But MI5 and the Metropolitan Police Special Branch had known for three months an attack was planned: the man in the brown suit himself had warned them. This mysterious man, lost to history, was George McMahon, a petty criminal with a record of involvement with the police. He was also an MI5 informant, providing intelligence on Italian and possibly German espionage in Britain. Dismissed by the rest of the world as a drunken loser and fantasist, he saw his life as an epic drama. Why did MI5 and the police fail to act? Was it a simple blunder on the part of the security services, or was something far more sinister involved? In this first full-length study of the threat to the life of Edward VIII, James Parris uses material from MI5 and police files at the National Archives to reach explosive conclusions about the British Establishment’s determination to remove Edward from the throne.

Matt wears a black suit every day. No, not because his mom died – although she did, and it sucks. But he wears the suit for his gig at the local funeral home, which pays way better than the Cluck Bucket, and he needs the income since his dad can''t handle the bills (or anything, really) on his own. So while Dad''s snagging bottles of whiskey, Matt''s snagging fifteen bucks an hour. Not bad. But everything else? Not good. Then Matt meets Lovey. Crazy name, and she''s been through more crazy stuff than he can imagine. Yet Lovey never cries. She''s tough. Really tough. Tough in the way Matt wishes he could be. Which is maybe why he''s drawn to her, and definitely why he can''t seem to shake her. Because there''s nothing more hopeful than finding a person who understands your loneliness – and who can maybe even help take it away.

'One of those rare books that demands to be read' GuardianIn 1941, Irene Nemirovsky sat down to write a book that would convey the magnitude of what she was living through by evoking the domestic lives and personal trials of the ordinary citizens of France. Nemirovsky's death in Auschwitz in 1942 prevented her from seeing the day, sixty-five years later, that the existing two sections of her planned novel sequence, Suite Francaise, would be rediscovered and hailed as a masterpiece. Set during the year that France fell to the Nazis, Suite Francaise falls into two parts.The first is a brilliant depiction of a group of Parisians as they flee the Nazi invasion; the second follows the inhabitants of a small rural community under occupation. Suite Francaise is a novel that teems with wonderful characters struggling with the new regime. However, amidst the mess of defeat, and all the hypocrisy and compromise, there is hope.True nobility and love exist, but often in surprising places.

He discovers that she was a regular visitor to a remote countryside hotel. Accompanied by a young colleague called Franny, Leonard travels there and discovers to his surprise a long-term Russian agent (known as an illegal) living undercover as the hotel''s gardener.

Several transcripts have been made of Johann Sebastian Bach's lute worksover the past 150 years. Due to the simultaneous harmonic and melodiccharacter of the lute and the lute harpsichord, favored by Bach, these usuallyevoke the original sound with a combination of several instruments (forexample, Zoltán Kodály's transcription of the lute prelude in C minor forcello and piano). The joint work of cellist Tamás Zétényi (*1985) and composerMarcell Dargay (*1980) is exceptional in that respect that it transfers allmovements of the lute suite in C minor, including the fugue, to a singlecello. The publication also includes an ornamented version of the sarabande.

Offering a window into the world of ordinary Athenians, Aristophanes'' The Birds and Other Plays is a timeless set of comedies, combining witty satire and raucous slapstick to wonderful effect. This Penguin Classics edition is translated from the Greek by David Barrett and Alan H. Sommerstein.The plays in this volume all contain Aristophanes'' trademark bawdy comedy and dazzling verbal agility. In The Birds, two cunning Athenians persuade the birds to build the utopian city of ''Much Cuckoo in the Clouds'' in the sky, blockading the Olympian gods and installing themselves as new deities. The Knights is a venomous satire on Cleon, a prominent Athenian demagogue, who vies with a humble sausage-seller for the approval of the people; while The Assembly-Women deals with the battle of the sexes as the women of Athens infiltrate the all-male Assembly in disguise. The lengthy conflict with Sparta is the subject of Peace, inspired by the hope of a settlement in 421 BC, and Wealth reflects on the economic catastrophe that hit Athens after the war.These lively translations by David Barrett and Alan H.

She documented America before and after the Civil War and was deported from Korea with only the tweed suit she stood up in during a Japanese invasion. In China she was attacked with rocks and sticks and called a foreign dog, but she never gave up and went home.
