# Cape Town Philharmonia Choir

The Cape Town Philharmonia Choir is a South African choir based in Cape Town, South Africa. The choir currently consists of 150 amateur singers, directed by Richard Haigh.

## History and repertoire

The choir was founded in February 1967 by the late John Badminton, and is based in Cape Town. The choir incorporated a nucleus of experienced singers from its predecessor, the Melodic Choir, which had been directed by Dr Claude Brown. Since 1968, the choir has performed Handel's Messiah every year at Easter and this has become an integral Cape Town tradition. The choir's repertoire includes over 50 choral works – which includes both the serious and the popular.
The choir has also performed engagements with world-class singers and musicians such as Yehudi Menuhin, Luciano Pavarotti, John Rutter and Sir David Willcocks (who has been Honorary President of the choir since 1974). The choir participated in the 1998 Winter Olympics in Nagano, Japan by singing at Cape Point as part of a "round the world" performance of the choral movement of Beethoven's Ninth Symphony in which choirs in different continents were linked by satellite television transmission to the conductor, Seiji Ozawa, in Japan. For several years the choir collaborated with Reinhard Schwarz who often visited Cape Town as a guest conductor. Under his baton, the choir was invited to participate in the Schubert Bicentenary Festival in Vienna in May 1997, as well as performing in Munich. On his last tour to Cape Town before his death, Schwarz chose to conduct the choir in a performance of Dvořák's Requiem.
In 2001, the choir toured to England where they performed in several cathedrals and churches, and were scheduled to perform Elgar's The Dream of Gerontius in Worcester Cathedral on 2 June, the anniversary of the composer's birth.
The Philharmonia Choir has been conducted by many well-known international conductors, including Dr Donald Hunt, Nicholas Cleobury, and Sarah Tenant-Flowers, whose Harlow Chorus sang with the Philharmonia in the Easter performances of Messiah in 2005. The Norwegian conductor Kåre Hanken has also conducted the choir on several occasions. In 2009, the choir performed with the KwaZulu Natal Philharmonic Orchestra, under the baton of the American conductor William Eddins at the Cape Town City Hall accompanied by the American soprano Renée Fleming. In October 2010 the Philharmonia Choir, singing together with the Symphony Choir of Cape Town, performed Verdi's Messa da Requiem, conducted by Victor Yampolsky, and in November 2011 the choir collaborated with the New Apostolic Church Choir in a performance of Brahms' Ein deutsches Requiem, under the baton of Martin Panteleev. In 2012 the Choir performed Haydn's The Creation in the original German.

## Directors of Music

The directors have included Christine Reynolds, Raymond Hughes, Vetta Wise, Margaret Barlow and Antoinette Blyth, a former student of Norwegian maestro Kåre Hanken. In January 2013, Richard Haigh, an accomplished choral conductor and music educator, was appointed as the seventh Director of Music of this choir.

# A Fable

A Fable is a 1954 novel written by the American author William Faulkner. He spent more than a decade and tremendous effort on it, and aspired for it to be "the best work of my life and maybe of my time". It won the Pulitzer Prize and the National Book Award. Historically, it can be seen as a precursor to Joseph Heller's Catch-22.

## Synopsis

The book takes place in France during World War I and stretches through the course of one week in 1918. Corporal Stefan, who represents the reincarnation of Jesus, orders 3,000 troops to disobey orders to attack in the brutally repetitive trench warfare. In return, the Germans do not attack, and the war stops when soldiers realize that it takes two sides to fight a war. The Generalissimo, who represents leaders who use war to gain power, invites his German counterpart to discuss how to restart the war. He then arrests and executes Stefan. Before Stefan's execution, the Generalissimo tries to convince the corporal that war can never be stopped because it is the essence of human nature.
Following the execution of the Corporal, his body is returned to his wife and his sisters, and he is buried in Vienne-la-pucelle. However, after the conflict has resumed, the Corporal's grave is destroyed in a barrage of artillery. The spirit of the Corporal has transferred to a British message runner, who eventually confronts the old Generalissimo.

## Critical analysis

In his contemporary review of A Fable, Philip Blair Rice noted that the novel returned Faulkner in subject matter to the one general subject that engaged him besides Mississippi: the First World War. Dayton Kohler, in his contemporary analysis of the novel, discusses an approach to the novel through myth. Ernest Sandeen has elaborated in detail on the parallels between the corporal and Jesus Christ. Julian Smith has noted similarities between A Fable and Humphrey Cobb's novel Paths of Glory. Frank Turaj has examined opposing images and themes in terms of the dialectic in the novel. Thomas E Connolly has discussed the relationship of the three main plots of the novel to each other.
Richard H. King has interpreted A Fable as the one major attempt by Faulkner to depict political action in his novels, and has characterized the novel as "Faulkner's failed political novel". Robert W Hutten noted Faulkner's reworking of material originally from the story "Notes on a Horse Thief" into A Fable. William J Sowder has analyzed in detail the character of the Generalissimo.

HMS Calliope is a training centre and 'stone frigate' of the Royal Naval Reserve, located in Gateshead, Tyne and Wear.

## History

A Tyne-based division of the Royal Naval Reserve was established in 1905, and used the old Calypso-class third-class cruiser HMS Calliope as its drill ship. She served until 1951, when she was sold for scrapping, and was replaced by the Shoreham-class sloop HMS Falmouth (L34). Falmouth was renamed Calliope, and was berthed at Elswick. She served until 1968, when she too was sold for scrapping, after the Tyne Division moved ashore to a new headquarters, which retained the name HMS Calliope. In October 1985 it was awarded a place on the Roll of Honorary Freeman of the City of Newcastle.

## Present day

Located next to the Gateshead Millennium Bridge HMS Calliope is the principal training centre for the North and North East of England, and serves as the home base for some 150 reservists. Members take part in local representational activities and Remembrance Day parades in Newcastle and Gateshead. A number of tenders have been assigned to the unit over the years, including the River-class minesweeper HMS Orwell and the Archer-class patrol vessel HMS Example.

## Description

Jacksonia intricata is a domed, tangled shrub that typically grows to 0.3–1 m (1 ft 0 in – 3 ft 3 in) high and 0.6–1.1 m (2 ft 0 in – 3 ft 7 in) wide, its branches copper-coloured when fresh, greyish-green when dried.

# Jorge Méndez Blake

Jorge Méndez Blake (born 1974) is a Mexican mixed-media conceptual artist. Trained as an architect, the artist builds walls and connects their history to literature. He lives and works in Guadalajara, Mexico.
At the James Cohan Gallery in New York, he exhibited a wall entitled Amerika, based on a Franz Kafka novel, during the time of the government shutdown when president Donald Trump was advocating to build the wall between the U.S. Mexican border. In this sense, his work could be seen as border art.
His work focuses on writing as "a kind of construction," using his brick sculptures to connect architecture to literature. He has exhibited widely in international bienniales and museums.
