Miserere (Górecki) Miserere, Op. 44 ( sample ) was written in 1981 by Polish composer Henryk Górecki.

Miserere (Górecki)

Written for large (120 voices) a cappella mixed choir, a typical performance lasts 35 minutes. The text comprises five words: 'Domine Deus Noster' (Lord our God), which are repeated for the first ten sections, resolved by a chorus of 'Miserere nobis' (Lord have mercy on us) in the eleventh and final section. Both lines of the text are formed as simple but imploring pleas. Like many other of his compositions, Górecki indicates the performance duration of the Miserere.

Miserere Op. 44, contains 11 sections delineated by the composer through approximate performance durations for each section. Throughout the whole piece only white-key notes are used, with a strong reliance on the interval of the third. Harley, James. Choruspromusica.org. Nels Cline: a guitarist’s guitarist - Culture & Entertainment News.

Hearing Manic Depression in 1967, at the age of 12, was the moment Cline realised what he wanted to do with his life. “What I heard in the song,” he says, “was just something that thoroughly intoxicated me. Everything about it – the sound of the guitar, the riff, the voice, the drumming, the part where Hendrix sings in unison with his guitar playing just before the solo, and then the solo bursts out – made me think that I had been jolted by electricity.” Cline has a reputation as long as a very long arm, and an equally lengthy list of collaborative projects, the latest of which is BB&C (made up of Tim Berne, Jim Black and Cline), which makes its debut in Ireland this week. At the last count, Cline (his obligations to Wilco notwithstanding) has played on more than 150 albums across most genres of contemporary music. Chords Index Page.

You would be best avoiding the ridiculous "1,000,000 Chord Shapes" books, they contain many useless chords that are just there to make the numbers up, impractical and sound awful and never used by real guitar players. I know because I have friends who have written some of those books and I know they get pressure from publishers for numbers, not quality. How to Arrange Your Pedalboard.

Nevermind (1991) Nirvana Design by Robert Fisher and Kirk Weddle Spencer Elden's first time swimming was a memorable one.

The Velvet Underground & Nico Design by Andy Warhol With apologies to Carmen Miranda and Chiquita, the world's most famous banana is the ripe, peelable print on the cover of the Velvets' debut. Designed by pop artist Andy Warhol, the image was a silkscreen made from simple black-and-white acetate film. "The banana actually made it into an erotic art show," said Velvets singer Lou Reed.

“Man, I’m an alcoholic,” the Alabama singer-songwriter said of his addiction that involved a dangerously close friendship with Mr. Jack Daniel’s. “So I drank all the time. I used to think I didn’t drink in the morning, but my wife pointed out to me that I didn’t usually wake up in the morning.” Isbell laughed, yet knows there’s nothing funny about the damage he caused. Sober since February 2012 right around his 33rd birthday, the thinking-man’s rocker with a soulful sound and a few folk-them-all tendencies hopes that positive turn means he’s not kidding around.
