Kontserti alusutati Adophle Adami eesti keelde tõlgitud palaga „Jõuluöö“, mida esitas Taisi Pettai. Esitatud lugu kõlas kuidagi pühalikult ning viis ka mind jõulumeeleollu.Teine Taisi Pettai esitatud pala oli saksa helilooja Robert Schumanni teos „Widmung“ (eesti keeles„Pühendus“). Mulle meeldis selle pala meloodia oli rahulik, kuid siiski rõõmsameelse kõlaga. Teine esineja oli Marlene Keine, kes tõi kuuldavale aaria „Rejoice“ Handeli ooperist „Messias“. Pala tundus kuidagi tuttavana ning pakkus äratundmisrõõmu. Ilmselt olin seda varem kuulnud juba muusikatunnis või varem külastatud kontserditel. Teos oli ilus ning tõi välja ka artisti hääle võimekuse. Itaalia komponisti V. Bellini kirjutatud „Elvira aaria“ ei kuulunud just minu lemmikute hulka. Minu jaoks kõlas see aaria algus kuidagi veniva ja üksluisena. Siiski teine pool loost muutus veidi elavamaks ning veidi positiivsemaks.
Conception. It is celebrated each year in front of the great Gothic cathedral in Seville with a ceremony called los Seises or the "dance of six." Oddly, the elaborate ritual dance is now performed by not six but ten elaborately costumed boys. It is a series of precise movements and gestures and is said to be quite moving and beautiful. Christmas Eve is known as Nochebuena or "the Good Night." It is a time for family members to gather together to rejoice and feast around the Nativity scenes that are present in nearly every home. A traditional Christmas treat is turron, a kind of almond candy. December 28 is the feast of the Holy Innocents. Young boys of a town or village light bonfires and one of them acts as the mayor who orders townspeople to perform civic chores such as sweeping the streets. Refusal to comply results in fines which are used to pay for the celebration. The children of Spain receive gifts on the feast of the Epiphany
library that hadn't a book in it. 241. Let us so endeavor to live, that when we come to die, even the undertaker will be sorry. 242. Man is the only animal that blushes ... or needs to. 243. Nothing so needs reforming as other peoples' habits. 244. There is something fascinating about science. One gets such wholesale returns of conjecture out of such a trifling investment of fact. 245. Why is it that we rejoice at a wedding and cry at a funeral? It is because we are not the person involved. 246. When in doubt, tell the truth. 247. Like what "it" does not like. 248. The highest that a man can attain is to be able to do. 249. The worse the conditions of life the more productive the work, always provided you remember the work. 250. Remember yourself always and everywhere. 251. Remember you come here having already understood the necessity of struggling with yourself--only with yourself
nothing else to say, was now determined to leave the trouble of finding a subject to him. He took the hint, and soon began with, "This seems a very comfortable house. Lady Catherine, I believe, did a great deal to it when Mr. Collins first came to Hunsford." "I believe she did--and I am sure she could not have bestowed her kindness on a more grateful object." "Mr. Collins appears to be very fortunate in his choice of a wife." "Yes, indeed, his friends may well rejoice in his having met with one of the very few sensible women who would have accepted him, or have made him happy if they had. My friend has an excellent understanding--though I am not certain that I consider her marrying Mr. Collins as the wisest thing she ever did. She seems perfectly happy, however, and in a prudential light it is certainly a very good match for her." "It must be very agreeable for her to be settled within so easy a distance of her own family and friends."
"Howard Suber's understanding of film storytelling fills the pages of this wise, liberating book. Much of it is surprisingly contrary to what 'everyone knows.' A remarkable work." - Francis Ford Coppola "Those lucky enough to take Howard Suber's legendary classes in UCLA's Film School made many others want to read his book-in-progress. Now that he has delivered it, filmmakers, scholars, and anyone else with a serious interest in film can rejoice. A fascinating and thought-provoking work." - Alexander Payne, Director/Screenwriter, Sideways, About Schmidt, Election "Howard Suber is admired and valued, not only in the academic world, but by some of the most important creative people in the film industry-. Suber genuinely helps us understand 'the power of film' - why it has been the predominant art form for more than a century, and why it continues to have such power over the lives we all lead."
