 Hella FF50 Free Form Driving Lamp Kit $137.85 I love these lights! they are super bright and look great! They at least doubled (if not more) the distance I can see at night. I get flashed for having high beams on a few times but I just have to re-adjust them. The one thing that i didnt like was that they did not come with self tapping screws.  Xerox 3R12420 Premium Digital Carbonless Paper, Multi-Part White and Canary Form, Letter, 250 Sheet $238.94 I've been teaching piano for 20 years and I never knew this paper existed. I was introduced to this by a professional organizer, and it has made my life so much easier. The 2 sheets come unattached to one another, so it makes it easy to use my computer to print my homework and evaluation form on each sheet. Because I have a limited amount of time with the student each week, it's nice not having to be encumbered by writing an extra set of notes for myself. This gives me a copy that I can review during the middle of the week in order to prepare for the next week's lesson. It was also nice to be able to buy the paper by the ream instead of having to purchase a whole case, and the delivery was very quick. Thank you Xerox and Paperworks  Arvo P«£rt: Collage sur B-A-C-H / Summa (1991 Version) / Wenn Bach Bienen Gez«ächtet H«£tte / Fratres (1983 Version) / Symphony No. 2 / Festina Lente / Credo - Neeme J«£rvi / Philharmonia Orchestra & Chorus / Boris Berman $18.98 For all of those who look for early works of P«£rt this is a precious recording. I believe there are a lot of people who don't find much appeal in P«£rt's late repetitive, mystic works for the very same reasons others prefer them. So what's up here is that P«£rt has a few lesser known works before, say, his third symphony which are the "opposite" of the mentioned above. Those who are found of Schnittke will surely appreciate this. The most remarkable composition in this record is maybe the "Credo" for piano mixed choir and orchestra. It consists of 13 minutes of duel between the forces of the past (represented by Bach's well known motifs) and the eruptive resources of modernist aleatoric clusters of sound. So, pools of beautiful passages are interrupted by (or combined with) destructive (or desconstructive) interventions of the orchestra till the whole, peaking sometimes the frenetic, becomes yet a powerful block of distinctive sound. In spite of this chaotic character the music is full of imaginative textures never becoming static and confusing. What's impressive is that this work is from 1968! The 2nd symphony, even earlier, although not so exuberant also offers similar processes, sometimes with strong percussion, and includes an unexpected romantic melodic passage by the end which, no matter how much ironic it may be intended, moves the listener by moments to another atmosphere. (The 1st symphony may be found on "Searching for roots" compilation by Virgin with works of T«äur and Tubin). "Collage sur B-A-C-H" is better known and so are the remaining works which are more recent. It must be said that the commented works here, exploring most of the times the technique of "appropriation", may belong to P«£rt's youth searching period and maybe discussable as not as relevant as his mystic late works - but they are surely very refreshing for all who enjoy the fruitful style of 60's modernism and want to know the other face of P«£rt. |
