# Amur Waves

Amur Waves (Russian: Амурские волны) is a waltz (Opus 12) by composer and conductor Max Kyuss. It has orchestral, instrumental, choral and vocal and instrumental processing.

## History

Amur Waves was written by Max Kyuss in 1909, during his service as a conductor of the 11th East-Siberian regiment, stationed in Vladivostok since 1906. It is believed that the waltz is dedicated to a Far Eastern public activist Vera Yakovlevna Kirilenko, to whom, according to some sources, the composer was in love. According to some reports, the waltz was presented to them by Vera Yakovlevna, who at that time was a member of the board of the Vladivostok branch of the Society for Universal Help to War Rows and Their Families, and thus contributed as a charitable contribution.
Initially, the waltz was called Waves of the Amur Bay. Vladivostok is located on the shores of the Amur Bay. Then the bay fell out of the name, and the waltz became associated with Amur River.
During a short period of time, the waltz became popular not only in the Far East, but also in the center of Russia. Waltz was performed everywhere; the notes were reprinted many times and were actively bought up. On the cover of the music album, this was a portrait of Kirilenko.
In the 1920–1930s, the waltz began to be performed without specifying the name of the author, sometimes folk music was announced.
The second peak of waltz popularity came in the middle of the 20th century, when a text was written to it and it began to be performed with a choir. The initiator of the waltz arrangement for the choir was the head of the Song and Dance Ensemble of the Far Eastern Military District, Rumyantsev. The text was written by actor Serafim Popov. At the same time, the name of the author of waltz music was returned. Subsequently, the text was somewhat revised by Konstantin Vasilyev, a soloist of the ensemble of the Baltic Fleet.
In the following years, the waltz became so popular that, to a certain extent, it earned the right to be considered a musical symbol of Eastern Siberia and the Far East: its performance in the USSR opened musical programs for Siberia and the Far East.
This tradition has been preserved: the waltz melody is the call sign for some of the Far Eastern and East Siberian radio stations and television channels. In addition, the Far Eastern express Ocean from Khabarovsk to Vladivostok sets off for this music. In general, the ocean is sent to farewell slav.
There are vocal and instrumental waltz treatments.
It is performed abroad, primarily in China and Japan.

# Harold Knox-Shaw

Harold Knox-Shaw (12 October 1885 – 11 April 1970) was an English astronomer.
He was born in St Leonards-on-Sea, Sussex. He was the oldest of four siblings. During his youth he earned scholarships to Wellington College in Berkshire and to Trinity College, Cambridge, from which he graduated in 1907 ranked as Sixth Wrangler. A year following his graduation he became an assistant at the Khedivial Astronomical Observatory in Helwan, Egypt. He was elected Fellow of the Society in 1908. In 1910 he became the first to photograph Halley's comet from this site.
In 1913 he became superintendent of the Khedivial Observatory, and remained at that post until 1924. From 1918 until 1924 he also served as the Director of Meteorological Services in Egypt and Sudan. He performed welfare work for the British army during World War I, and was awarded the Order of the Nile, Class 4. (In 1926 he was awarded Order of the Nile, class 3.)
He returned to England in 1924 to become Radcliffe Observer at the Radcliffe Observatory. Much of his labor during the following years was then spent in production of the Radcliffe Catalogue of Proper Motions, published in 1934. From 1926–30 he was Secretary of the Royal Astronomical Society, then served as President 1931–32.
His dissatisfaction with the observing conditions in England led him to lobby funds for a site in South Africa. This observatory would not be completed until 1939, however, when Knox-Shaw took up residence. The pouring of the blank for the main telescope was then held up until after World War II. From 1941–42 he was president of the Astronomical Society of Southern Africa (ASSA). The mirror finally arrived in 1948, followed by a Cassegrain spectrograph in 1951. Two years later Knox-Shaw retired.
He married Maisie (née Weir of Pretoria) and the couple had one son, Peter, who was born in 1944. His twenty-year retirement was spent at Elgin, Western Cape. He died from a stroke, and his ashes were scattered on Radcliffe Observatory grounds.

## Awards and honors

* The crater Knox-Shaw on the Moon is named after him.
* Awarded the Order of the Nile, class 3 in 1926.
* First winner of the Gill Medal, Astronomical Society of Southern Africa, 1956.
