Plot
Hayley's parents disappeared when she was a baby. Since then, she has been raised and homeschooled by her grandparents. Grandad is overworked and travels a lot; Grandma is much too strict and never lets her meet any children her own age. When Hayley does something wrong—she is not quite sure what—they pack her off to her aunts in Ireland. To Hayley's shock, the number of people in her family is much larger than she thought; to her delight, the children all play what they call “the game,” where they visit a place called “the mythosphere.” And while she plays the game, Hayley learns more about her own place in the world than she had ever expected.
Hayley encounters various mythological figures during the course of her adventures in the mythosphere, including Actaeon and Baba Yaga.

Short description

Junge Roemer (Young Romans) is the second album by Austrian pop rock artist Falco, released in 1984.

Production and success

Production and success
The album was a No. 1 hit in his native Austria. The title track was a hit single there as well as in Switzerland, and most notably in Spain, where it peaked at No. 2. Still, the project was considered a relative disappointment compared with the international number one success of the breakthrough hit single, "Der Kommissar", from his previous album, Einzelhaft. This inspired him to change producers and incorporate more English phrases for titles and choruses, which resulted in a trio of worldwide hits two years later with "Rock Me Amadeus", "Vienna Calling" and "Jeanny".
While the phrase is written "Junge Römer" in standard German, the title of Falco's album and single in both German and English pressings is "Junge Roemer", to make the product more easily understandable worldwide.

All titles on the album were filmed for an approximately one-hour film contribution Falco – Heroes of Today by DoRo commissioned by ORF. After Falco's death a book was published that was named after the song found on the album, Hoch als nie.
In addition, a best-of CD/DVD was released in 2007 with the same name (see Hoch wie nie).

Background
He was bred by the American heiress Elisabeth Ireland Poe who owned Shawnee Farm in Harrodsburg, Kentucky as well as a racing and breeding operation in Ireland. Meadow Court was sired by Court Harwell, and out of the mare Meadow Music. His grandsire was Prince Chevalier, the Leading sire in France in 1960, and his damsire the U.S. Racing Hall of Fame inductee, Tom Fool.
Meadow Court was owned by Canadian businessman Max Bell and Frank McMahon, the owners of Golden West Farms, and the famous American singer, Bing Crosby.

Racing career
Meadow Court had the bad luck to be born the same year as the great colt, Sea-Bird, behind whom he finished second in the 1965 Epsom Derby. However, that year Meadow Court went on to win the Irish Derby. In the winner's circle at the Curragh, Bing Crosby sang When Irish Eyes Are Smiling for the crowd. Meadow Court then gave jockey Lester Piggott his first win in the King George VI and Queen Elizabeth Stakes. In the autumn, starting at long odds on, Meadow Court ran second to Provoke in the St. Leger Stakes on a rain-soaked Town Moor (Doncaster). A month later, the horse travelled over to Paris to contest the Prix l'Arc de Triomphe. His pacemaker, Khalife, was unable to get to the front and Meadow Court finished a distant ninth to Sea Bird.

Llantarnam Abbey

Llantarnam Abbey is a Grade II*-listed abbey of the Sisters of St Joseph of Annecy and a former Cistercian monastery located in Llantarnam, Cwmbran in the county borough of Torfaen in southeast Wales.

Llantarnam Abbey

History

History
It was founded as a daughter house of Strata Florida Abbey, Ceredigion. Llantarnam Abbey took its place among the Welsh Cistercian abbeys as the revival of political power supported the growth of the Order during the twelfth century. Although various dates are suggested for the year of its foundation, it can be safely attributed to have been founded in the last quarter of the twelfth century. It was to remain active for over three hundred and fifty years before the suppression of 1536 finally closed its doors on 27 August 1536. Later that century, the abbey's vast tracts of lands, including the immediate abbey environs, were sold into the hands of the Morgan family.(Ibid: 149) The landscape associated with the abbey stayed largely intact until the development of Cwmbran new town in 1949.
After its dissolution in 1536, William Morgan of Pentrebach bought the property in 1554 and he later became a Member of Parliament (MP) and High Sheriff. The abbey may have been built by his son Edward Morgan, also an MP and High Sheriff, who was repeatedly fined for his recusancy. His son, Sir Edward Morgan, 1st Baronet was a noted Royalist during the Civil War. The second baronet, also Edward, sheltered the Jesuit priest who was executed at Usk in 1679, Saint David Lewis. The house was only intermittently occupied from then until it came into the hands of Reginald Blewitt. He rebuilt it in Tudor Revival style to the designs of Thomas Henry Wyatt in 1834–36. The renovation supposedly cost £60,000 and that expense, coupled with the collapse of his finances, forced Blewitt into exile from 1851 to 1868. After his death a decade later, the nephew who inherited the property sold the abbey in 1895 to Sir Clifford Cory, colliery owner, shipping magnate and Liberal politician, who lived there until his death in 1941.Horace A. Laffaye, Polo in Britain: A History, Jefferson, North Carolina: McFarland & Company, 2012, p. 12 After his death, it became a depot for the American Army during the Second World War. In 1946 it became again a monastic institution, in the hands of the Sisters of St Joseph of Annecy.
The main abbey building was Grade II* listed on 6 June 1962 "as an early and very elaborate Tudor revival country house."Llantarnam Abbey, Llantarnam, britishlistedbuildings.co.uk.

Historiography

Historiography
Llantarnam Abbey's first historical study of note was researched by Joseph Bradney in his multi-volume A History of Monmouthshire from the Coming of the Normans into Wales down to the Present Time. Bradney's work gives a detailed account of its setting within the landscape while giving as complete a historical account as possible through his available sources at the time. A lot of his work concentrated on the post medieval period including the pedigrees and heraldic coats of arms concerning the major families connected to the abbey. Also covered by Bradney are histories and observations on the granges and associated lands. These include Cwmbrân, Pentre-bach, Ty Coch, St Dials and Llandderfel, with detailed notes on the parish church of St Michaels. The work is still used as a primary source by the Gwent Glamorgan Archaeological Trust when researching planning decisions on land associated with the abbey and its granges.
In 1979 Sr Teresa Mahoney privately published ‘Llantarnam Abbey 800 years of History’. Historical records from Llantarnam Abbey and its granges are embellished with historical records from many other Cistercian sites around Britain and Europe. Compiled into a single volume, this culminates in an account which is probably the most complete history of the abbey that embraces an overall European Cistercian perspective. Although Mahoney's study takes into account the Welsh political problems that were associated with Llantarnam through its initial patronage, it also addresses the overall British situation that arose through the dissolution of the monasteries.
The most prolific historian for the Llantarnam Abbey site itself is David H. Williams, who read as a historical geographer at Cambridge. After his initial 1964 article on Cistercian Abbots in Medieval Gwent, further publications included the work Llantarnam Abbey (1967); White Monks in Gwent and the Border; The Welsh Cistercians I & II; The Cistercians in the Middle Ages and Catalogue of Welsh Ecclesiastical Seals as known down to AD 1600; Atlas of Cistercian Lands in Wales; Catalogue of Welsh Ecclesiastical Seals in the National Museum of Wales I. Gwent Seals: VI. In 2001, both of Williams’ 1984 volumes were published as one book.
In contrast, research by Madeleine Gray has used a multi-disciplinary approach predominantly concentrating on the outlying granges on Mynydd Maen, Mynyddislwyn and the Rhondda valley. This included experimental archaeology, which retraced a long and arduous pilgrimage route from Llantarnam Abbey, through the granges of St Dials and Llandderfel, before arriving at Penrhys in the Rhondda; A post medieval survey of Henry the Earl of Pembroke's manor of Mynyddislwyn which includes many aspects of medieval land use deducted from the survey. Gray also examines the political situation in south Wales regarding the establishment of land endowment and the foundation of granges in south east Wales.

Toponymy
|
Toponymy
The study of the place-names relating to Llantarnam has resulted in general agreement across different studies, although there a few anomalies.
Bradney proposes that Llantarnam has its origins in Nant Teyrnon and that Nant has evolved into Llan similar to Llancarfan (Nant Carfan) and Llanthony (Nant Honddu). From a c.1175 deed Bradney suggests that Emsanternon [was] ‘doubtless intended for’ Ynys nant Teyrnon – ‘the island by the brook of the Teyrnon’, while providing a footnote warning that ynys is often used for land situated next to a brook. The personal name Teyrnon, from the Mabinogion, is described as ‘a Lord of Gwent Iscoed and the best man in the world’, while the translation of the full name, Teirnyon Twryf-Vliant is ‘Teyrnon of the rustling fine linen’. Lastly, Bradney mentions that the place name Ddeuma had been associated with the monastery being dedicated to St Deuma. This suggestion was mentioned in a footnote by the editor of a poem by Lewi Glyn Gothi to David ap Watking ap Henry. Although dismissing the possibility of a dedication to St Deuma for the monastery, Bradney suggests that the original dedication of the parish church may have been firstly dedicated to St Deuma before changing to St Michael at a later date.
Osbourne and Hobbs' interpretation of Emsanternon suggests that it derives from the Welsh ynys for ‘water meadow’, nant – ‘valley’ which in turn evolved into meaning ‘stream [running through the valley]’, and the personal name Teyrnon, an early ruler of Gwent. No interpretation of Deuma is proposed but the further place name Vallium, mentioned in 1244, is derived from the Latin for ‘valley’. Further toponymical work on some of Llantarnam's granges has been carried out by Osbourne and Hobbs (1999: 46–47; 2005: 22–24) and Osbourne (2008: 4–6).
Morgan suggests Emsanternon as a mixture of both Bradney's and Osbourne and Hobbs understanding where Ynys is elevated to a ‘raised area in a water-meadow’, while Teyrnon is reduced to Teyrn meaning ‘prince’. Morgan points out that it was not until 1272 that the Latinised Lanterna was instructed to be used in the official lists by the Cistercian General Chapter rather than Vallium which had been recorded in 1244. Vallium is proposed as ‘spurious’ which could have been derived from a misinterpretation of Carlium [Caerleon].
Williams gives a comprehensive synopsis of the various place-names taking into account the recorded place-names that others have omitted.

In November 2006 Banks, Rutherford, and Collins announced they were reforming Genesis for the 2007 Turn It On Again Tour. The announcement coincided with the release of three box sets containing digital remasters of the band's studio output across 2007 by EMI Records, containing new stereo and 5.1 surround sound mixes by producer and engineer Nick Davis.
In the European and Japanese releases of this box set, the CDs are hybrid SACD/CDs. The SACD layer is a multichannel surround sound remix.Formats described at
In the Canadian and U.S. releases of this box set, standard CDs with no SACD layer are included.Explained in interview with producer and remixer Nick Davis, at
In all versions of the box set, the DVDs are DVD-Video format (not DVD-Audio), although they contain both audio and video tracks. These DVDs include three audio mixes: DTS 5.1-channel surround sound, Dolby Digital 5.1-channel surround sound, and Dolby Digital stereo.The DVD interface has two audio choices: Dolby 5.1 and DTS 5.1. If the Dolby 5.1 option is chosen on a system that does not support surround sound, the Dolby stereo mix is played. The DTS surround sound is a slightly compressed version of the surround sound on the SACDs,Explained in interview with producer and remixer Nick Davis, at and the Dolby surround sound is a slightly inferior quality to the DTS.Comparison from Sound and Vision magazine article online at http://www.soundandvisionmag.com/musicreviews/2285/genesis-in-surround.html
In November 2012, a 6LP Vinyl Boxset was issued in the United Kingdom. It features the 2007 remasters on 180g platters.
All of the audio tracks on these CDs were remixed in stereo and surround sound by producer Nick Davis, with the sole exception of "Say It's Alright Joe", which was not remixed because the band was unable to locate the multitrack recordings.Explained at

Sadigjan
|
Short description
|
Mirza Sadig, more commonly known as Sadigjan (; 1846 – 1902), was an Azerbaijani folk musician, tar player, and the creator of the Azerbaijani tar (also known as upgraded tar).
Sadigjan is one of the famous Azerbaijani tar players. By improving this instrument, Sadigjan expanded the possibilities of virtuoso playing on this instrument. He increased the number of strings from 5 to 13, made additional changes to the body of the instrument, and completely changed the system of frets on the tar's neck reducing their number from 27–28 to 22.
Sadigjan introduced significant innovations in the Azerbaijani mugham improving the "Segah", "Mirza Huseyn Segah" and the "Mahur" mughams. The appearance in Azerbaijani music of "Mahur-Hindi", "Orta Mahur", "Zabul Segah", "Kharij Segah", "Yetim Segah", "Choban Bayati" mughams is associated with the work of Sadigjan and the Azerbaijani tar.
In the 1890s, under the leadership of Sadigjan, an ensemble was created in Shusha. This included famous singers and musicians of that time. Among the students of tar were such famous musicians as Gurban Primov, Mashadi Zeynal, Arsen Yaramishev, Mardi Janibekov, Malibeyli Hamid, Mashadi Jamil Amirov, Shirin Akhundov and others.

Childhood and youth
Sadikh Mirza Asad oghlu was born in the family of a watchman in the city of Shusha, according to most sources, in 1846 (according to other sources - in 1842) in a one-
story house consisting of two rooms. Later, when the fame came to him, Mirza Sadikh built a three-story house on one of the best streets of Shusha and himself took part in its construction as a worker for several days.
From childhood, Sadikh showed a great interest in art, and wonderfully sang folk songs. His father, Asadullah, took him to the school of the famous musicologist Harrat Gulu. After checking his vocal abilities, Sadikh was accepted there. The graduates of this school, besides Sadigjan, were the most famous mugham performers of Shusha - Haji Husi, Mashadi Isi, Deli Ismail, Shahnaz Abbas, Bulbuljan, Keshtazly Hashim, Kechachioglu Mahammad, Jabbar Garyaghdioghlu. This school had a great influence on the formation of Sadikh as a musician. At the age of 18, Sadigjan lost his voice and after that he learned to play various musical instruments such as: kamancha, flute, nai, and tar. He was taught to play tar by the famous Shusha tarist Mirza Ali Asgar, who, being impressed by his play, said:
In the ensemble of Mirza Ali Asgar, Mirza Sadikh was a kemanchist. But one day, when Mirza Ali Asgar fell ill, Sadigjan, replaced him as a tar player and managed to demonstrate his abilities in playing this instrument. Inspired by his success, Sadigjan devoted himself entirely to tar, and since then he has been constantly honing his skills.

Success
To the beginning of the 19th century, Shusha was one of the cultural centers. Poets, playwrights, famous musicians and artists from all over the Caucasus came here where
theatrical performances were staged and musical meetings were held. The musical meetings were the most famous in Azerbaijan and played an important role in the recognition of Sadigjan as a tar player. [15] Among these majlises organized by Mir Mohsun Navvab "Mejlisi- Faramushan" ("Mejlis of the forgotten"), "Mejlisi-khananda" ("society of musicians") and Majlises arranged by Khurshidbanu Natavan, where singers and musicians demonstrated their art, discussions were held on the problems of the music theory, the works of poets were performed, and competitions were organized. Sadikh took part in such Majlis events, thanks to which his name became known in the neighboring countries.
The excellent performance of Sadigjan attracted the attention of Mahmud Agha from Shamakhi. He is known by the work "Karabakh-nama" by the poet and musicologist
Muhammed-agha Muzhtehidzade, in which he tells that "Mahmud-agha of Shirvan, having heard about the glory of Sadigjan, asked him to visit Shirvan". At the invitation of Mahmud Agha, Sadigjan visited Shamakhi and took part in a musical meeting. Once Mahmud-agha sent Seyid Azim Shirvani to Shusha after Mirza Sadikh, he dedicated to Sadigjan one of his muhammas. Being an admirer of Mirza Sadikh's creation, Mahmud-agha often invited him to his place together with Haji Husi and even gave him a tar, the body of which was made of gold. Since that time, the musical meetings at Mahmud-agha could not take place without Sadigjan. This greatly irritated Khurshidbanu Natavan since the performance of Sadikh was an adornment at the "Majlisi-Uns" organized by her, as well as at the celebrations in the Khan's palace which did not take place without his participation. It is assumed that due to him, Natavan and Mahmud-agha corresponded for a long time.
In addition to the participation in celebrations and musical meetings, Sadikh gave concerts during the breaks of performances held in Shusha and Tiflis. On 29 December 1886, in the building of the Artsruni Theater in Tiflis, the play “Monsieur Jourdan - a botanist and dervish Mastalishah”, based on the play of Mirza Fatali Akhundov, was staged, and during the intermissions Mirza Sadikh and the famous khanende (mugham performer) Mirzali were expected to perform. The “Caucasian Review” issued in Tiflis, wrote about Sadikh in the heading “Theater and Music”:
From the memoirs of contemporaries of Mirza Sadikh follows that he spent most of his life on the road participating in the festivities that took place in the Caucasus, Iran, Central Asia and Turkey. In March 1872, on the occasion of the celebration of Novruz, he was invited by the Iranian ambassador to Russia to St. Petersburg where he performed with the famous khanende Sattar.
It is known that starting from the 18th century in the countries of the Middle East, including Azerbaijan, singers and performers who gained recognition and fame among people were given a name or pseudonym with using “jan” (“soul”). Among people, Mirza Sadikh also received the name Sadigjan. Such an honor, besides him, was given only to the famous singer - Abdul-Bagi Zulalov, who was called Bulbuljan.

Shiri-Khurshid
In the beginning, Sadigjan, accompanying Haji Husi, made up a trio together with him and the kemanchist Ata Bagdagul oglu. Later, he moved to the Shusha khanende Mashadi Isi trio. In 1880, as part of it, he received an invitation to Tabriz for the wedding of Mozafereddin Qajar Mirza, the son of Nasreddin Shah Qajar. Many other musicians and singers also performed at the wedding, but Haji Husi and Sadikh were recognized as the best khanende and tar player and were awarded the Shiri-Khurshid order.
According to Aghalarbey Aliverdibeyov, the author of the “Harun al-Rashid” opera and a connoisseur of Azerbaijani musical history, at the mentioned above wedding, a well-known tar player challenged Sadigjan to a musical duel. He also stated that the good performance of Mirza Sadikh was possible thanks to the changes made on the fretboard of the instrument, in the fret system of the tar. Sadigjan accepted the challenge, but at the same time cut all the pointers on the instrument's neck. Seeing this, the opponent refused to participate and kissed the fingers of Mirza Sadikh.

Sadigjan's ensemble
In the 1890s, under the leadership of Sadigjan, an ensemble was created in Shusha, which included famous singers and musicians of that time. Among them were Haji Husu, Mashadi Isi, Jabbar Garyaghdioglu, Deli Ismail, Khanlyg Shukur, Bulbuljan, Kechachioghlu Muhammed, the tar player Ter-Vartanesov, Mashadi Zeynal and others. Two girls also participated in the ensemble performing Azerbaijani, Georgian, Armenian dances, as well as the belly dance. Among the participants was the mutrub Mirza Ismail, who played a prominent role in the ensemble. Although it was not necessary for his role, he was not only a good tar player, but also had an excellent voice. Among the ensemble's musicians, in addition to Azerbaijanis, were Georgians, Armenians, and Lezgins. The ensemble's performance took place in the concert halls of Shusha, Baku, Ganja, Ashgabat, Tehran, Istanbul, Derbent, Vladikavkaz, at the musical meetings of Khurshidbanu Natavan, Mahmud-agha, Mashadi Melik, in the gardens of Tiflis ("Mushtekhid") and İravan ("Khurrem").
Sadigjan also showed himself as a teacher. Among his students were such famous musicians as Gurban Pirimov, Mashadi Zeynal, Arsen Yaramyshev, Mardi Janibekov, Hamid Malybeyli, Tatevos Artyunyan, Mashadi Jamil Amirov, Shirin Akhundov and others.
Sadigjan died in 1902 in Shusha at the age of 56.

Performance technique

Performance technique
Sadigjan at one time was recognized as "the first tar player in the entire Caucasus". According to the Honored Artist of Azerbaijan Sahib Pashazade, "the possibilities of his performance technique surpass all boundaries". From a young age, Sadigjan studied the performance techniques with great persistence. According to the composer and musicologist Afrasiyab Badalbeyli, he sometimes achieved various sounds without using his right hand (without mizrab), only with the fingers of his left hand, hitting the strings in a special way or pressing the strings, pulling them along the frets to lengthen various sounds reminiscent of glissando. In addition to these, Mirza Sadikh created such performance techniques as the “khun” effect (based on the resonation of the entire body of the tar obtained by shaking the neck of the instrument in accordance with the nature of the performance), the use of a small body or pressing the string to the neck of the tar, extracting sounds by plucking up to change the timbre of the instrument, etc.
In order to make the fingertips of his left hand harder, Mirza Sadikh lubricated them with a liquid of his own preparation, holding them also over a burning candle. It is known that the use of mizrab leads to the damage of the frets over time. To avoid this, Sadikh covered them with a special solution.
The Baku musical meeting organizer's son, Mashadi Melik, a famous tar player and the father of Bahram Mansurov, Mashadi Suleyman Mansurov, when firstly saw Mirza Sadikh in Tiflis, recalled that “his amazing playing on the tar had some kind of incomprehensible power over people”. He played virtuoso without a mizrab raising the instrument to his chin, and sometimes played with the tar leaning it to his neck. Sometimes, like ashigs, he raised the tar over his head.
According to eyewitnesses, Sadikhjan was able to teach the thrush several small tesnifs and songs by playing the tar. According to a story of his student Gurban Pirimov, Mirza Sadikh asked him to catch a nightingale from Gulably for him. Pirimov, along with the nightingale, brought and a thrush. Once, having come to Sadigjan again, he saw that he had put a mirror in front of the thrush, while he himself was playing tesnif on the tar, similar in sound to the singing of thrushes in the wild. The thrush, having seen the reflection in the mirror, begun to sing.

Creation of the Azerbaijani tar

Creation of the Azerbaijani tar
In the second half of the 19th century, the performance capabilities of the five-stringed tar no longer met the requirements of the rapidly developing Azerbaijani mugham art, and a need arose for a radical reconstruction of the instrument. Sadikhjan, for the first time, made a number of significant and bold innovations in the tar's performance and in the structure of the instrument. These were fundamental changes in the body, strings and frets of the instrument. The time has shown that this innovation paid off.
The body of the five-stringed tar is large in volume, and this does not allow lifting it to the chest. It is played on the knees, sometimes using a footstool. The length of a standard tar in Iran is 950 mm, the maximum width is 250 mm, with the depth of 200 mm, the length of the neck is 600 mm. The large dimensions reduce the possibilities of execution technique. The sound is soft and quiet.

Strings
|
Strings
Sadikhan firstly increased the number of strings from 5 to 18, then reduced their number to 11 - two three-choir ones at the bottom (“kok” - white, yellow main strings), in the middle - a single one (“bem kok” - tone thick red string used for a richer sound, as well as for chords) and a steam room (“dem” - the main strings for playing a melody) are bass, and on the upper side of the fretboard there are two paired sonorous ones (“zeng simler”, “jingene simler” - white resonant strings). The aliquot strings (resonant strings not used during the performance) — sonorous and tonal — added by Mirza Sadikh made the sound of the timbre effects of
the instrument richer and increased the performance technique's possibilities. The presence of these strings contributed to the emergence of a special interpretation of the mugham on the tar. During the accompaniment of the khanende, aliquot strings create an organ point with the help of the vibrational effect “khun”, making mugham melodies more varied and brighter. They play a big role in the performance of the complex pieces, ensuring the perfection of the sound. So, in the process of performing mughams, as well as concerts, and plays written for tar, the richness of the sound is achieved thanks to these strings. In the course of his work on improving the instrument, Sadikhjan used the theoretical knowledge of the musicologists Safiaddin Urmavi and Mir Mohsun Navvab. After the death of Sadikhjan, the number of strings was reduced to 11.

Contribution to the Azerbaijani music

Contribution to the Azerbaijani music
Improving the tar opened a new page in the history of both the instrument itself and of the Azerbaijani mugham art in general. The changes made in the frets' location and, in general, in the structure of the instrument influenced the mugham fret system. This, in turn, led to changes in the art of mugham singing. The new style of the instrumental performance had an impact on the very manner of the khanende singing, since its performance was always accompanied by tar and kemancha.
Sadigjan made significant innovations in the Azerbaijani mugham. He improved the “Segah” mugham by adding the tones of “Zabul”, and to the mugham “Mirza Huseyn Segah” - adding the tones of the “Mukhalif” mugham. He significantly improved the mugham "Mahur". According to some data, we are allowed to talk about him as a composer. To the mughams "Orta Segah" and "Bayaty Shiraz", Mirza Sadikh wrote the instrumental additions (ryang). The ryangs reached their highest development precisely after the reconstruction of the instrument carried out by Mirza Sadikh. Sadigjan and his students became the authors of many famous examples of this genre later being classified as classic. According to the art critic Fikret Abulgasimov, the songs he wrote, tesnifs, ryangs, those dedicated to the homeland, demonstrate the power of the folk art, this is clearly seen thanks to their aesthetic power of influence and deep vitality.
In 1897, in Shusha, Mirza Sadikh taling an active part in the production of the “Leyli and Majnun” play, based on Fuzuli's poem with adaptations in the religious style “Shabeh”, he also engaged in its musical arrangement. The performance was staged at the Khandamirov Theater according to the script of Abdurrahim bey Hagverdiyev, the writer. The ensemble of Sadigjan performed the composition "Shebi-Hijran" for the choir. Many years later, Uzeyir Hajibeyov, who sang in the choir of this performance, recalled:
Sadigjan is also known as the creator of several mughams. Before him, there was only one dastgah (the largest form of mugham) of the mugham "Mahur", later two forms of its performance appeared - "Mahur-Hindi" and "Orta Mahur". From the memoirs of the famous mugham performer Jabbar Garyaghdioglu:
The appearance in the Azerbaijani music of such mughams as "Mahur-Hindi", "Orta Mahur", "Zabul Segah", "Kharij Segah", "Mirza Huseyn Segahy", "Etim Segah", "Choban Bayaty" is
associated with the creation of Mirza Sadikh and with the Azerbaijani tar. The famous Azerbaijani composer and musicologist Afrasiyab Badalbeyli, speaking about the innovations
brought to Azerbaijani music by Sadikhjan, wrote that “starting with Mirza Sadikh, the essence of mughamat, the means of its expression, its power of influence and style of performance have risen to a new level. Mirza Sadikh opened a new page of the Azerbaijani music”.
In 1901, Sadikhjan took part in the first Oriental concert held in Shusha performing solo the mugham "Mahur".

Elbe–Havel Canal
|
Short description
|
The Elbe–Havel Canal is a 56-kilometre-long waterway in Germany. It links Magdeburg, on the River Elbe, with Brandenburg on the River Havel.
Since 2003, the Elbe–Havel Canal has been connected to the Mittelland Canal by the Magdeburg Water Bridge, which crosses above the River Elbe. The Mittelland Canal provides a connection to the west of Germany. To the east, the River Havel connects to the Oder-Havel Canal, and the Elbe–Havel Canal thus forms part of a continuous waterway from the west to Berlin and Poland.

Tabenna
|
'''Tabenna'''
|
Tabenna is a Christian community founded in Upper Egypt around 320 by Saint Pachomius. It was the motherhouse of a federation of monasteries known as the Koinonia. At the time of Pachomius's death in 346, there were nine establishments for men and two for women, along with two or three thousand "Tabennesites". It is considered the first major model of cenobitic monasticism in early Christianity.

Name and location

Name and location
Tabenna (also Tabennae, Tabennisi, Tabennesi, Tabennese) is a Coptic name. The name and location of this monastery have long been the subject of great uncertainty. In the various manuscripts of the Lausiac History of Palladios (§ 32), the following Greek forms are found: Ταβέννησις, Ταβέννησος, Ταβενίσιος and Ταβένη. In Sozomene (III, 14), one manuscript gives (correctly) "έν Ταβεννήσῳ", but another incorrectly reads "έν Ταβέννη νήσῳ" in two words (with the word νῆσος, "island"). It is apparently that this cacography inspired Nikephoros Kallistos Xanthopoulos (fl. 14th century) the following phrase: "ἔν τινι νήσῳ, ἣ Ταβέννη ώνόμαστο", "in a certain island called Tabenne". Hence comes the tradition according to which the monastery was installed on an island, which in fact does not appear in any ancient document.Étienne Marc Quatremère, Mémoires géographiques et historiques sur l'Égypte, 1811, vol. I, p. 281. In Coptic manuscripts, the forms are as follows: Tabennêsi (the most frequent), Tabênise, Tabnêse, Tabsinêse, Tabsênisi and others. In the Arabic texts: Tabanessin, Tafnis, Tafânis, Tafnasa, and also Dounasa are found. In Latin, the form Tabennen is found in the Latin Life of Pachomius by Dionysius Exiguus.The most authorized forms therefore appear to be Tabennêsis in Greek, Tabennêsi in Coptic. As for the etymology, the Egyptologist Georges Daressy proposed in (, X, 1888, pp. 139 and 141) to identify this name with a toponym which appears in the geographical list of Abydos (in hieroglyphic), and which means "Abode of the son of Isis"; but this toponym has also been attributed by others to Nag Hammadi (the Χηνοβοσκία of the Greek geographers), which is about twenty kilometers downstream from the site of Tabennesis, on the same right bank of the river. As for the derivative designating the occupants of the place, in Greek it takes the forms Ταβεννησιώτης, Ταβινισιώτης, Ταβισιώτης; in Latin Tabennensis (with the usual suffix -ensis), Tabennesiota (tracing from Greek), Tabennensiota (mixture of the two).

History

History
Starting as an abandoned village along the Nile river, the monastery at Tabennese is considered to be the first cenobitic monastery and is credited with sparking the Pachomian monastic movement. One day while collecting wood at this village, it is said that Pachomius was shown a vision that told him to build a monastery at this location. The monks at Tabennese first built a church for the village itself. As the village grew, they went on to build a church for themselves. This all began as a sort of communal experiment that quickly became overpopulated. Not only would the monastery go on to be formed there, but it also turned into a sprawling village that was separate from the monastery itself. Although sprawling, it rarely attracted the visitation of pilgrims as it was so remote. Regardless of this, it did not fail to draw the attention of local authorities. There are records of Tabennese taxation from the Hermopolite nome that were dated 367 C.E. Although Tabennese was located within the Tentyrite nome, the Hermopolite nome, which was a considerable distance away, was responsible for taxation of its land. In the fall of 329, the monks were visited by the new archbishop Athanasius of Alexandria, who ordained Pachomius as a priest. Shortly after, a second establishment was founded in the neighboring village, also abandoned, of Pbow. Pachomius himself settled there c. 336-37, and Pbow became the most important settlement with 600 monks at the time of the death of the founder in 346. After 340, other monasteries were established between Esna and Akhmim. The whole constituted a real order, with a superior general at its head who circulates between the monasteries and appoints their superiors. A gathering of all the monks took place twice a year, at Easter and August 13th, in the mother house of Tabennêsis; on this occasion, superiors ought to report on their material management to the general bursar. After the death of Pachomius on May 9th 346, the superior general was Petronius, but died three months later. Orsisius replaced him, but in 351, following the revolt of a monastery, Theodorus of Tabennese, one of the first disciples of Pachomius, had to take things in hand, and he ensured the direction until his death in 368, while calling himself the "vicar" of Orsisius. At that date there were twelve men's monasteries and three women's monasteries. Orsisius then resumed his functions until his death after 386. In 390, Archbishop Theophilus I of Alexandria favored the installation of a monastery of the order at Canopus to the east of Alexandria, on the site of an ancient temple of Serapis. The monastery of Metanoia, which had Latin monks, played an important role in the influence exercised by its rule in the West. Around the year 400, according to Palladios, the "Tabennesites" or Pachomians numbered around 7,000. In the 5th century, the order accepted the decisions of the Council of Chalcedon, and it only experienced divisions on this subject from the 6th century.
