![]() The quiet heart by June Collin-with words by James Morgan-has all the charm and immediate familiarity of a folk song, but was written in 1968 for musicians of the Salvation Army, with whom we have collaborated on numerous occasions. His work, The Shepherd’s Carol, was written for the Choir of King’s College in 2001, and specially adapted for us in 2018. Another former Cambridge student (and tenor in The King’s Singers from 1985 to 1997) is Bob Chilcott. Our opening track, Balulalow, by the esteemed composer and conductor James Burton, sets a medieval English text, and was written whilst he was still a student at Cambridge University. This third layer of works in Christmas Carols with The King’s Singers comprises compositions by British composers over the last 100 years, many of which have become fixtures of Christmas carol services around the world. We chose these ancient single-line melodies to offer some balance to the rich harmony in other tracks by more recent composers. Qui creavit caelum is a macaronic carol (using both Latin and English in alternation) that dates from the early 15th century in the Benedictine nunnery of St Mary, in the north-English city of Chester. The original plainchant melody first appears in a Swiss manuscript from c990AD, but it had likely been in circulation for a long time by then. Hodie is the Magnificat antiphon for Christmas Day in the Catholic plainchant tradition, and is famously included as the start and end of Benjamin Britten’s A Ceremony of Carols. Alongside these anonymous carols sit two ancient melodies with anonymous roots: Hodie Christus natus est (Christ is born today), and Qui creavit caelum (He by whom the heavens were made). In other cases, such as the beautiful Italian carol Dormi, dormi (Sleep, sleep), arranged by Guy Turner, we have sought out newer arrangements to fit our forces perfectly, whilst maintaining all the character of the original song. Also from our library came the English carol Gabriel’s message arranged by Edgar Pettman, and Gaudete, arranged by our founding bass Brian Kay. Many of these tracks were great arrangements already in our music library, such as the two Catalan folk songs, La filadora (The spinner) and Nit de vetlla (A night of watching), both arranged by Goff Richards. These are songs based on the Christmas story, but whose origins are in traditional melodies passed down anonymously through folk traditions across the world. We hope that these tracks will be known to many listeners, perhaps even well enough for you to join in! They also form the backbone to this album, which then draws in strands from lots of different parts of our library, all united by that magical atmosphere of festive wonder.Īs well as Christmas music written for church services, it was important to us to capture a flavour of what we call ‘Christmas folk music’. Less familiar perhaps, but also belonging to that great sacred choral canon are Tomás Luís de Victoria’s motet O magnum mysterium (O great mystery) and Tomorrow shall be my dancing day, which was composed by King’s College’s legendary Director of Music (and mentor to our forebears in The King’s Singers) Sir David Willcocks. These include Once in royal David’s city, Ding dong! merrily on high and O little town of Bethlehem. Dotted throughout the album are several of the most famous English church carols, which take the six of us right back to our earliest singing days, and which also reflect our group’s heritage at King's College, Cambridge. This selection of music covers everything from contemporary choral gems and folk songs through to well-loved carols. ![]() In Christmas Carols with The King's Singers, we wanted to bottle that frosty, moonlit, fireside Christmas wonder and pour it into our sound. ![]() Christmases as a child were a time of magic and mystery: from the drama of the biblical nativity story, through to the excitement of Father Christmas’ visits and the excitement of hoping for snow in December, the season always seemed to hold a sense of wonder-and its music captures this unlike anything else can. For the six of us, festive carols and songs are part of the soundtracks of our lives and have been since childhood. Even if you’re not vocally-inclined, choral music still lies at the heart of many people’s Christmases. If you are a singer of any kind-be that in a church choir, as a soloist, in a professional group, or if you simply like a singsong in the shower or after a glass of wine-the chances are that Christmas music is in your blood.

![]() ![]() You're taking an event with a 30% chance of happening as Fait Accompli which frankly, is laughable. On top of that, if anything, one of the things the game has going for it is actually its pretty decent current sales. Yes, it very much could fail to pick up steam and get cancelled (although that would probably take two years cause they have to make the game's DLC). Vic3 is doing about average for a post release Paradox title, and it's certainly doing a whole lot better than Imperator. I remember in a lot of early paradox, whole regions of the world had shitty second rate events that just made it not fun to play (for example) Poland, or Hungary, or Timurids, or any developing nation, or weird useless events that never triggered that were historical but nobody cared about them. If you pick Russia and play for a bit, you might not even realize there was an Immersion Pack installed, because from outside perspective France is just the same it was.Ĭlick to expand.No, it shouldn't have, I'd prefer them taking their time to add in depth country events then just try to slap tons of "we need events for this country very general quick go" kind of surface level events that inevitably get reworked whenever the region comes along. And there still aren't - if you don't play as France, then you will see essentially no difference outside potential Paris Commune. ![]() Remember France was in Vic3 a super strong nation, that basically had a good shot at nr 1 great power even in AI hands, because there just wasn't anything representing the troubles the state faced. It fails to have visible effects on the game from outside the French perspective.Taking Divided Monarchists as an example, it explains that this is a huge issue and source of instability. It just fails to explain why things are happening, how they really felt to people living back then and what effects there were. It fails to complement the game mechanics, because it just adds events on top, that essentially don't care about what's going on, and do not use features we generally use in the game.However Voice of the People does not do that any well. We can't have everything perfectly happen as a result of the systems alone, but having those moments, where the devs step in and create flavour mechanics, can fill the gaps. However, sometimes it's not at all able to represent what actually happened and what affected the historical events, and then immersion packs are really useful, to fill the gaps and add some localized content, that makes the game more accurate. Today, we’ll be covering the new paid content that will be included in the Voice of the People Immersion Pack, along with some updated free content coming in the 1.3 Update. The game should have this emergent narration coming from its systems and in some cases it's doing it pretty well. Hello Victorians Last week we covered Agitators and Exiles, the central mechanical feature of the 1.3 Update. I mean, there is actually a good idea behind what we see in Voice of the People.

So Samuel anointed David to be the king of the Israelites.ĭo you know what the word “anointed” means? It means that Samuel poured a very special, sweet-smelling oil on David’s head. As soon as Samuel saw him God told the prophet that this was the one to be appointed king. God knew why he didn’t want any of the sons of Jesse whom Samuel had already seen to be Israel’s new king, so Jesse sent for the voting shepherd boy whose name was David. We might think things that are wrong, and even say and do things that are wrong, and keep our parents or our playmates from knowing about them, but God knows. God can read our thoughts, you know, and we should always remember that. A person may be all dressed up and look very fine to us, yet he might not be doing the things that are pleasing to God. He explained that God looks at us differently than we look at each other. Then Jesse said, “No, there really is another son, but he is out in the field taking care of the sheep.” The father said this as though his youngest son was not important, and that it didn’t make much difference whether or not Samuel saw him.īut Samuel was very wise because he always did as God wanted him to do, so he asked Jesse to send for the boy who was caring for the sheep. Samuel began to wonder what God wanted him to do, and when Jesse did not bring another of his sons before him Samuel asked if he had seen them all. But as Samuel looked at each of these fine boys God told him that none of them was the right one. Then Samuel asked to see the other sons, and Jesse, the father, had them all appear before the prophet, one after the other. But God told Samuel that he was not the one. They were all healthy and good looking, and the very first one that Samuel saw was such an ideal young man that the prophet was sure he must be the one God had chosen to be the king. Samuel was always willing to do what God wanted him to do, so he went to Bethlehem and there found Jesse and his sons. He asked the prophet to go up to Bethlehem and get acquainted with Jesse and his sons, and assured the prophet that it would then be made known to him which of the sons was to be the new king. God told Samuel that he had selected a new king from among the sons of a man named Jesse who lived in Bethlehem. Samuel felt very badly about this, for he loved Saul, and was very sorry indeed that Saul did not continue to do what God wanted him to do. After awhile, when King Saul continued doing wrong, God spoke to the Prophet Samuel and told him to appoint a new king to rule over the Israelites. He became proud and did many things which were displeasing to God. King Saul was a good king in the beginning of his reign, but he didn’t remain faithful to God. The Prophet Samuel, who appointed Saul to be the first king of the Hebrews, also appointed David, who was their second king. Well, this story is about a young man who took care of sheep for his father and later became a great king to rule over the children of Israel. ![]() YOU probably remember my story of the young man Joseph who was sold into slavery in Egypt and later became a ruler. ![]() For instance, if you do decide to read Higurashi, you will want a mod called 7th Mod to improve your experience.Umineko no Naku Koro ni Episode R: Radio of the Golden Witch ( 『うみねこのなく頃に』 EpisodeR -Radio of the golden witch) is an internet radio show centered around Umineko no Naku Koro ni. I can give you more information if you like. Gou and Sotsu are a canon sequel to Higurashi that bridge the gap between Higurashi and Umineko. There is anime called Higurashi Gou and Higurashi Sotsu. However, please still support the official release). (Although, if you play Umineko, download Umineko Project instead of the Steam version, trust me DM me if you want more info as to why. Umineko is divided into 2 games, each containing 4 episodes. Higurashi is divided into 8 games which you can find on Steam. The writer is really starting to connect his "When They Cry" series together. While it is technically optional to read Higurashi, there are a lot of things you will miss out on if you make the jump. You can go straight to Umineko, but it is a sequel to Higurashi. Otherwise, hope you enjoy Umineko & potentially Higurashi if you decide to try it as well.Ī lot of these comments kinda suck at explaining so I will tell you as clear as possible. If you decide an order/way you want to experience things, let me know and I'll actually look around a bit and provide you some links. It definitely works better as a second umineko run-through rather than a first. If you ever feel like doing Umineko again, the manga is also great and is quicker to go through. ![]() At least the Umineko anime isn't bad for anyone that hasn't gone through Umineko in any way before, being mainly terrible to experienced Umineko lovers, but Higurashi Gou and Sotsu just have terrible writing and shit on the stories of higurashi, especially since they requires watching higurashi and higurashi kai first.Īfter Higurashi/Higurashi Kai anime/novel (different names for the novel), then Umineko visual novel. ![]() They make the Umineko anime look amazing. And please by god do not watch the train-wrecks that are Higurashi Gou and Sotsu. There is Rei and Kira for example, but they're not important. You don't have to go any further, as there are additional seasons but they're kind of unnecessary. Just only watch Higurashi No Naku Koro Ni (26 episodes) and Higurashi no Naku Koro Ni Kai (24 episodes). I don't know how accessible the novel is, but the anime is easily online for free. I've never actually read the visual novel, having only watched the anime, but the anime is an amazing adaptation in which every higurashi fan I've known has agreed with. Order for the MAXIMIZED experience below: If you feel like doing a second Umineko run-through, then the Manga is perfect for that. Don't worry about messing up the order, as the visual novel will literally only let you progress in order first. So start out with Umineko no Naku Koro Ni in the visual novel, then after that, then Umineko No Naku Koro Ni Chiru. There are questions and there will be hints, but the "answer" will not outright be blatantly given to you by the sound novel, but it will for the manga. Umineko fans refuse to acknowledge its existence for good reason (it's not completely terrible as a stand-alone as I did enjoy it, with it being my first Umineko experience, but compared to the novel/manga it's awful).Īny Umineko fan would recommend reading the visual novel first. But ultimately, it's still not necessary, but there are connections. Though you can just watch Higurashi and Higurashi Kai, as it would go quickly and would add into your umineko experience before-hand. No, reading Higurashi isn't necessary at all, but it does add to the experience as a character from Umineko technically is from Higurashi (don't ask, you'll just give yourself a head-ache). ![]() Remember, the credit score drop is usually only a temporary dip.

The next day, Ron withdraws from the budget task force and appoints Leslie in his place. Mark gives her plans he drew up for a park at Lot 48, before kissing her goodbye on the cheek. That night, Leslie sits on a bench in the empty Lot 48 and Mark joins her. April angrily storms out, taking back her decision to go out with him. After they kiss, Andy decides to be honest and tells her about the earlier kiss with Ann. Later, April, also relieved to see Andy is fine, finally agrees to go out with him. Visiting Andy in the hospital, Ann suddenly kisses him, but Andy pulls back, leading to Ann guiltily walking out. Ben explains he is not a bad person, but the budget still has to be slashed. Just as the concert begins, Freddy Spaghetti surprisingly arrives, having been paid by Ben to perform at Leslie's concert. She asks Andy to play instead, but he is hit by a car while driving his new motorcycle home to retrieve his guitar, breaking his right arm. However, Leslie learns Freddy Spaghetti has booked another gig. Chris and Ben arrive to the concert to shut it down, but Leslie tells them everything has been donated and nothing is on the taxpayer's dime.

Meanwhile, April Ludgate and Andy finally reveal their feelings to each other, but April still rejects him, believing Andy still has feelings for Ann. Later, Ann suggests to Leslie that she should hold the concert at the Sullivan Street Pit, as it is not a park and therefore should not be shut down. Meanwhile, Ann is struggling with her re-developing feelings for her ex-boyfriend Andy Dwyer. ![]() When Leslie complains to city planner Mark Brendanawicz about her situation, she learns he has taken a buyout and plans to join a construction company, partially in response to Ann Perkins having broken up with him. Leslie visits state auditors Chris Traeger and Ben Wyatt seeking a way to keep the concert, but Ben insists there is simply no money for it. When Leslie Knope explains at a town meeting that the Pawnee Summer Kick-Off featuring children's entertainer Freddy Spaghetti must be canceled due to the shutdown, the citizens are outraged.

We were very inspired by this story, and Burgess Meredith, (who plays) the trainer, going “Rocky, you’re losing the eye of the tiger.” I go, “Bingo. The next day he sent us the whole movie, and that’s when we really got the story. It was like electricity in that room, but we couldn’t get any further because we didn’t know the story. And then the punches were being thrown, and I just went (plays power chords). I just started going (plays chugging guitar intro). I had my Les Paul around my neck, and I just caught that vibe.

The pressure was on, and the next day I rented a big Betamax Pro (an early video cassette player) and the FedEx came. He said to Tony Scotti, the label manager, “That’s the sound I want for my theme song.” He heard a song called “Poor Man’s Son” from our “Premonition” album, which is very street, very raw, (singer) Dave Bickler just giving it up. Can you help me out?” I go, “Uh, is the Pope Catholic?” It’s a good song, but I want something for the kids. He says, “I’ve got this new movie called ‘Rocky III,’ and I don’t want to use that ‘Gonna Fly Now’ song. So I call him up, and he answers, “Yo.” I go, “Is this Sylvester Stallone? This is Jim Peterik.” He says, “Yeah, call me Sly.” Suddenly, I’m calling him “Sly” - a kid from Berwyn, Ill.! I was already this huge fan of Stallone anyway, me and my wife. It’s Sylvester Stallone.” I go, “Yeah, right.” I play it back again (and say), “Karen, does this sound like Stallone, or is that just Sal, my roadie?” “No, that’s him.” I hit “Play” and I hear, “Hey, yo, Jim that’s a nice answering machine you got there. I got home one day, and there’s my big, old answering machine. ![]() ![]() We knew it was something special because we saw that movie in its rough form. Was that day like any other day? When you started this, did you kind of know that you were on to something special? You and Frankie (Sullivan) from Survivor wrote it. Peterik talked to Bart Herbison, executive director of Nashville Songwriters Association International. The song’s co-writer, Jim Peterik, remembers the day Stallone asked him to write a song for his movie - and how the star reacted when he first heard the demo recording. Few “power chords” are more instantly recognizable than the guitar blasts that open Survivor’s “Eye of the Tiger.” The rock hit served as the theme song for the 1982 film “Rocky III,” starring Sylvester Stallone as boxing champion Rocky Balboa. |
