The 5.1 DTS-HD Master Audio track is more than adequate albeit it’s hardly dynamic. The video looks quite good considering its age going on close to 50 years and it appears some good work has been done cleaning it up as only minor instances of dust marks are seen, and most viewers probably wouldn’t even notice them, but scratches are non-existent and colors appear to be well balanced while detail levels on both close-ups and background elements are sharp. ![]() But Michelangelo garners the strength to continue.Īll that is included is the Teaser (1:15) and the Theatrical Trailer (3:28).įox releases The Agony and the Ecstasy onto Blu-ray presented with a 2.20 widescreen aspect ratio and a crisp-looking 1080p high-definition transfer. While recovering, the Pope’s architect Donato Bramante (HARRY ANDREWS) pressures the Pope to use Raphael to finish the ceiling. Bounarroti suffers from blindness as a result of paint poisoning, and fatigue from overwork. Michelangelo is accused of blasphemy and heresy by portraying Pagan symbols and myths, but is allowed to continue. The work proceeds nonstop, even with mass in session. On a battlefield, Michelangelo convinces the Pope to change the grand design and paint not just the panels of the ceiling, but the entire vault. He evades the pope’s guard and flees into the mountains, where he becomes inspired. After his first attempt at painting the Apostles, he destroys his work and flees to Carrara to quarry marble. Instead, Pope Julius II (REX HARRISON) orders him to paint frescos on the Sistine Chapel ceiling depicting the 12 Apostles.

Sculptor, painter, poet, architect, and sincere Christian-he embodied the grand tensions, complexities, uncertainties, and achievements of his era. Michelangelo himself became the true Colossus of Tuscany. Neither was a gigantic figure ever carved from the mountain face by the shores of Tuscany. During the Italian Renaissance, Pope Julius II contracts the influential artist Michelangelo to sculpt 40 statues for his tomb. Although 94 wagonloads of marble were quarried and shipped back to Rome, the papal tomb was never completed according to the original plan. He could not bring himself to convey Christ’s divinity by anything so obvious as a halo it had to be portrayed through an inner force, strong enough to conquer his misgivings at this hour of severest trial. While Michelangelo was considering the landscape, he was seized with the idea of carving a colossus out of a mountain that would be visible to seafarers from afar (one presumes comparable to the great Colossus of Rhodes, one of the seven wonders of the ancient world). On Christ’s face appeared the expression, I am in agony, not from the iron nails, but form the rust of doubt. When the pope saw Michelangelo's design, he was so delighted that he dispatched the artist immediately to the stupendous marble quarries of Carrara, not far from the Italian coast in Tuscany, to find suitable stone. In 1505, Pope Julius II called a much-admired Florentine sculptor named Michelangelo to Rome to create a huge, freestanding tomb with approximately 40 over-life-size marble statues, all to be made within five years. Michelangelo Buonarotti reached the pinnacle of fame as a sculptor, painter, and architect, yet he longed for something more. ![]()

![]() ![]() Not only does it double the bass voice (cello), but it sounds an octave below, being doubly bass-y. When looking at the string section in this way it makes much more sense why the contrabass would be nicknamed "double bass". In the case of strings, take a look at the string quartet: violin I as soprano, violin II as alto, viola as tenor, and cello as bass. This is why despite having a range that could be considered bass according to this definition, the trombone is considered a tenor instrument. Instruments totally eclipse these ranges, so the most important aspect comes from the timbre. Of course human voices can sing around these single octave limitations, but in practice these tend to be the strongest octaves for each voice. Soprano, with its main octave being from C4 (middle C) to C5.These are of course based off of the main instrument known to humanity the human voice. This question really is about what are considered the four main voices in voice leading, which is what all instrument families are based off of. The violoncello has never been considered a tenor instrument, it has always been a bass. ![]() IMO, "the sounding pitch of the double bass is an octave below the bass clef" is the best reason offered for calling it the double bass: Its voice is in the ' bass-bass clef' range, although we use the 'single bass' clef to notate its music. Purists may criticise the single-stringed fiddle for being a ‘less evolved’ instrument. The name contrabassĬomes from the instrument's Italian name, contrabbasso. In a world of veenas, sarangis, sitar and cellos, the simplicity of this portable instrument prevails. The name also refers to the fact that the sounding pitch of theĭouble bass is an octave below the bass clef.

The instrument's standard English name, double bass, may be derivedįrom the fact that it is approximately twice as large as the cello, orīecause the double bass was originally used to double the cello part Portato is a bowing technique for stringed instruments, 3 in which successive. Still, the origin of the name Double Bass does not seem clear. Perhaps the cello is a tenor instrument in terms of the entire range of instruments, but until the double bass was invented, it was the bass voice relative to the rest of the violin family.ĭuring the Baroque and Classical eras, in quartets and orchestras the cello traditionally played "bass" parts, until Beethoven made a mission of "liberating the cello", by writing more lyrical music for the cello for virtuoso players he knew personally - music that exploited its higher registers. Double Bass does not imply a Single Bass instrument:īut I was under the impression that the cello was a "tenor" ![]() ![]() ![]() Voluptuous Nostalgia is a scent made to lose yourself in, and it doesn’t matter how long the daydream lasts when it’s this much fun. Like all the sweet summer girls skipping down the side streets in Italy, Voluptuous Nostalgia knows well that the best memories are the fleeting ones. Voluptuous Nostalgia’s presence is in keeping with old, foreign movies also – the fragrance lasts for several hours and entertains you with its retro, coquettish charm just long enough for you to be smitten, but not bored. ![]() La Baia Di Napoli 1960 Vittorio De Sica Sophia Loren and Clark Gable ![]() Maria McElroy’s release of Geisha Amber Rouge from 2011 has this same, quiet, silky sophistication. There’s an elegance in the wearing of Voluptuous Nostalgia that is entirely compelling and unique. There’s a soft, sheer slip in the feel of this perfume as you wear it that is absolutely gorgeous. And this silken quality is what I most admire in Aroma M perfumes – they literally drape around the wearer, rather than blast aggressively off the skin or retreat into introverted, sullen skin scents. ![]() Aroma M perfumes all seem to carry this absolutely exquisite hand to them – like the hand found in a fine silk scarf. The opening notes are flirtatious and bright, and mask the serious commitment that young lad will have to come up with later on as this scent develops.īut perhaps the best thing about Voluptuous Nostalgia is its texture. This perfume begins with an abundance of floral joy that is immediately uplifting and playful, and draws you in with a wink and a flash of leg, before the more serious and sensuous violet/amber feel kicks in. Voluptuous Nostalgia also has a more modern, floral side – namely with the inclusion of a delicious gardenia and muguet opening that is to perfume what bright yellow sunlight is to a kitchen window. A woman who wears this scent feels like she can take on the world – provided the world is filled with Dean Martin’s music, Vespas, and late-afternoon Southern Italian sunshine. It’s a perfume with a very retro feel, but in all the best ways a demure, feminine but sweetly sensual fragrance can be. The violet/amber feel is coquettish and very enticing – in short, catnip for the menfolk. The effect is stunning – Voluptuous Nostalgia is a very aptly-named scent, because if a young lad might come across a whiff of this while travelling in a foreign country, well it might haunt him a good long while. It’s built on a captivating violet and amber combination wherein both notes are intriguingly uplifted rather than turning powdery and dully sweet. Voluptuous Nostalgia instantly paints your world in Technicolor washes, with each moment cast in a bright and breezy hue. But I do have the new release from Maria McElroy of Aroma M Perfumes, Voluptuous Nostalgia, which might be the next best thing.

I mean that in the same way as I do for Rio.īut still, I personally don't mind similar plots, as long as the film throws in some new elements, and this film definitely does. people who want really original stories may not want to watch. but still, just a little bit of background there – let's look at the film itself.įrom the same studios that brought us Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs, and from director Genndy Tartakovsky – who also directed the cartoons Dexter's Laboratory, Samurai Jack, The Powerpuff Girls, and the original Star Wars the Clone Wars (not that rubbish CGI one ), this film is probably another film that. Hotel Transylvania came out first, then ParaNorman, then Frankenweenie. But for the record, we had ALL THREE of these films coming out within the same WEEK – yeah, literally, within SIX DAYS, all three of them were released in the UK. Even though they're both not as good as Frankenweenie, in my opinion, I still really like them all. Now, when this film originally came out in cinemas, I was more interested in watching Frankenweenie, so I didn't see this film (or ParaNorman) until this summer when it was shown on Sky Movies.

Tucson Citizen and Arizona Daily Star combine to eliminate competition In the early twentieth century, Tucson, Arizona, had two newspapers: the Tucson Citizen, an evening paper, and the Arizona Daily Star, which appeared daily and on Sundays. In so doing, it made it clear that the First Amendment did not exempt news organizations from antitrust laws. 131 (1969), the Supreme Court upheld a lower court ruling affirming that an agreement between two Tucson newspapers violated federal antitrust laws and that the Justice Department was correct in requiring that the two papers act independently of each other.
