paragraph: Mary Leapor

paragraph: Mary Leapor (1722–1746) was an English poet, born in Marston St. Lawrence, Northamptonshire, the only child of Anne Sharman (died 1741) and Philip Leapor (1693–1771), a gardener. Of the many labouring-class writers of the period, she was noticeably well received.

paragraph: Section::::Life.

paragraph: Partly self-educated, she probably received a rudimentary education at either a local dame school, or at the local free school in Brackley on the south side of the Chapel. According to her father she began writing "tolerably" at the age of 10. Her father recollected, "She would often be scribbling, and sometimes in Rhyme," but that her mother ended up discouraging the writing, requesting she find some "more profitable employment". She was fortunate enough to attain a position as kitchen maid with Susanna Jennens ("Parthenissa" in Leapor's poetry), who apparently encouraged her writing and allowed her the use of her library. Jennens wrote poetry herself and had connections to both Mary Astell and Mary Wortley Montagu. Not all employers were so accommodating and Leapor's devotion to writing led to her dismissal from a subsequent position with Sir Richard Chauncy's family, as she apparently would not stop writing even in the kitchen.

paragraph: In 1784 an account was published in "The Gentleman's Magazine", possibly by Chauncy's son, allegedly describing Chauncy's remembrances of the poet. According to this piece, Leapor's "fondness for writing verses there displayed itself by her sometimes taking up her pen while the jack was standing still, and the meat scorching … He represented her as having been extremely swarthy, and quite emaciated, with a long crane-neck, and a short body, much resembling, in shape, a bass-viol."

paragraph: She returned home to Brackley to care for her widowed father in 1744 or 1745, and despite many responsibilities, and not being in the best of health herself, she continued to write and her work circulated among the inhabitants of the town. As a consequence she met Bridget Freemantle (1698–1779), the daughter of a former rector, who became both her friend and mentor. This relationship seems to have marked a turning point for Leapor and she wrote the bulk of her œuvre in a very short period. It was Freemantle who suggested that Leapor publish a volume of poetry by subscription, and she also attempted to have a play of hers, a blank-verse tragedy called "The Unhappy Father", produced in London at the Covent Garden Theatre. (A second play remained unfinished.) Neither venture was immediately successful. Leapor died of measles at Brackley on 12 November 1746 at the age of 24.

paragraph: The Bishop's Transcripts of the Parish Records show that she was buried "in woollen" two days later in Brackley. It is not known whether she was buried in the parish church of St Peter with St James, or in the now-demolished St James' church, which stood in Goose Green close to where Mary is believed to have lived. Part of the proceeds from the publication of Volume One of "Poems Upon Several Occasions" was used to pay for a headstone, but this has now been lost. According to Mary's contemporary, Henry Purefoy (note 3 to letter # 412 on p 278 of Vol II of the "Purefoy Letters 1735 - 1753 ," ed. G. Eland, Sidgwick & Jackson 1931), the headstone read, "In Memory of Mary Leapor daughter of Phillip and Ann Leapor: who departed this life Nov. ye 26. 1746 Aged 24". The date of death given on the headstone is believed to be incorrect, as the Bishop's Transcript is the definitive record of the date of her burial.

paragraph: Bridget Freemantle continued her quest to publish Leapor's work. In 1748 she arranged the posthumous publication of "Poems upon Several Occasions" with some 600 subscribers for the benefit of Philip Leapor. A second volume of poetry and drama was published three years later by Samuel Richardson and edited by Isaac Hawkins Browne. Mary Delany, Stephen Duck, Elizabeth Montagu, and Sarah Scott were among the subscribers. These volumes secured Leapor's reputation as "one of the most interesting of the natural poets." John Duncombe praised her in "The Feminead" (1754), and Bonnell Thornton and George Colman included her in their "Poems by Eminent Ladies" (1755). Leapor herself would not seem to have embraced her status as a "natural" poet, "untainted" by artifice; she worked hard to acquire a literary education as best she could and embraced the neoclassical ideals of her period. At the time of her death she had accumulated seventeen volumes and several volumes of plays: a considerable library for someone with such a limited income. There are many grammatical errors in Leapor's work, which Freemantle apologises for in the Preface to the "Poems Upon Several Occasions" and assures readers that, had Leapor lived to edit them, the poems would have been flawless. She continues that they are, nevertheless, entertaining.

paragraph: Section::::Commemorations.

paragraph: After the "centuries of neglect" recognised by Prof. John Clarke ("Yesterday's Brackley", Barracuda Books, 1990) in a chapter about Mary, a window, inspired by her work and based on a design by a local resident Carolyn Hunter, was created by stained-glass artist Rachael Aldridge and installed on the first floor of the newly refurbished Town Hall in Brackley in 2018.

paragraph: In 2019 Carolyn commissioned the stone carver, Bernard Johnson ( http://www.bernardjohnson.co.uk ), to create a permanent memorial to Mary, which is now placed in the Lady Chapel of St Peter's Church. The text of the memorial includes a Latin aphorism ‘("Poeta Nascitur Non Fit", i. e. "A Poet is born not made") and a quotation from Mary's poem, ""Mira's Will" ," in which she foresaw her early death ("My departed Shade I trust to Heaven"). The stylised leaves represent laurel, which in the same poem Mary called "the true emblem of my rhyme".

paragraph: Section::::Work.

paragraph: Like many writers of the period, Leapor used a pastoral-sounding pen name, "Mira". Much of her work is modelled on that of Alexander Pope, whose work she admired. Also a model was Jonathan Swift, particularly his anti-blason poetry (the de-emphasis on the female physical body in relation to nature). At times Leapor's writing reflects her own pessimistic views on life as a woman who was described as being witty, poor, infirm and unattractive. She writes "much of and to women, of the discrepancy of her sex and class with her poetic urge." Her work focuses on debunking romantic myths and reiterating the importance of education for women, which she understood all too well.

paragraph: From Leapor's "strongly feminist" "An Essay on Woman,":

paragraph: WOMAN – a pleasing but a short-lived flower,

paragraph: Too soft for business and too weak for power:

paragraph: A wife in bondage, or neglected maid;

paragraph: Despised if ugly; if she's fair-betrayed.

paragraph: In "An Essay on Woman," Leapor describes the certain downfall women face when they get old. She is highly critical of women being judged solely on their appearance, and deplores the limited choices open to them. Like Alexander Pope, Leapor saw "the general condition of women as a series of contradictions"; though unlike Pope or Jonathan Swift, they weren't "follies to be satirized," but rather "injustices to be protested against". Both poets deeply influenced Leapor's work, although she counters their interpretations and understanding of women's general unhappiness. Drawing from her personal experience as a woman, she saw injustice in the social order rather than in women themselves. This is reflected in the representation of her views on beauty, the female body, marriage, family and female friendship in her work.

paragraph: Leapor lived in a culture where women were expected to value themselves by their beauty. A great deal of money would have been needed to achieve perfection in beauty, which required creating an artificial appearance: "hardware" was fastened about the bodies of women to straighten posture, stays squeezed their waists, and faces were "caked and heavily coloured" with cosmetics. Leapor "attempts to see beyond artificial appearance to what she believes is more authentic femininity". Her poem "Dorinda at her Glass" exemplifies this as she describes a woman who has valued herself by the image she sees in the mirror, only to be devastated when she loses her youthful beauty with age:

paragraph: To her lov'd Glass repair'd the weeping Maid,

paragraph: And with a Sigh address'd the alter'd Shade.

paragraph: Say, what art thou, that wear'st a gloomy Form,

paragraph: With low'ring Forehead, like a norther Storm;

paragraph: Cheeks pale and hollow, as the Face of Woe,

paragraph: And Lips that with no gay Vermilion glow?

paragraph: Through the poem Leapor advises and warns women that beauty does not last and to improve themselves intrinsically.

paragraph: "In 'Dorinda at her Glass', 'Advice to Sophronia', and other poems, Leapor asserts that women should preserve their dignity by accepting the loss of beauty". Leapor herself is affected by standards of beauty, and wishes to escape her "plainness" and the vulgar comments on her appearance, and dreams of being beautiful. This wistfulness for mainstream acceptance and admiration is illustrated in her poems "The Visit" and "The Disappointment."

paragraph: Leapor's most extensive examination of standards of beauty in parts of fashionable society is "Corydon. Phillario. Or, Mira's Picture". This "self-portrait" attempts to break in some contemporary standards of beauty, by picking apart her bodily flaws openly, posing a challenge to a sub-culture which expected women to tuck away their defects:

paragraph: Corydon.

paragraph: But she has teeth --

paragraph: Phillario.

paragraph: --Consid'ring how they grow,

paragraph: 'Tis no great matter if she has or no:

paragraph: They look decay'd with Posset, and with Plumbs,

paragraph: And seem prepar'd to quit her swelling Gums.

paragraph: Leapor also turned her attention to the marriage market:

paragraph: Now, madam, as the chat goes round,

paragraph: I hear you have ten thousand pound:

paragraph: But that as I a trifle hold,

paragraph: Give me your person, dem your gold;

paragraph: Yet for your own sake 'tis secured,

paragraph: I hope – your houses too insured

paragraph: Celia has admitted her love and admiration for Strephon and this is his businesslike reply. He goes on almost to count all Celia's assets on his fingers. He assures her of his admiration, briefly and in highly conventional terms, then returns to the subject that really interests him: her fortune. Leapor ironically exposes the reality of the marriage market and how women are reduced to their financial worth, despite the veneer of sentiment.

paragraph: Today Leapor's work is celebrated for its sharp observations about life as a woman in the 18th century. She remains one of the few female labouring-class writers of the period, along with Ann Yearsley and Elizabeth Bentley.

paragraph: John Taverner

paragraph: John Taverner (c. 1490 – 18 October 1545) was an English composer and organist, regarded as one of the most important English composers of his era.

paragraph: Section::::Career.

paragraph: Nothing is known of Taverner's activities before 1524. He appears to have come from the East Midlands, possibly being born in Tattershall, Lincolnshire, but there is no indication of his parentage. According to one of his own letters, he was related to the Yerburghs, a well-to-do Lincolnshire family. The earliest information is that in 1524 Taverner travelled from Tattershall to the Church of St Botolph in nearby Boston as a guest singer. Two years later, in 1526, Taverner became the first Organist and Master of the Choristers at Christ Church, Oxford, appointed by Cardinal Thomas Wolsey. The college had been founded in 1525 by Cardinal Wolsey, and was then known as Cardinal College. Immediately before this, Taverner had been a clerk fellow at the Collegiate Church of Tattershall. In 1528 he was reprimanded for his (probably minor) involvement with Lutherans, but escaped punishment for being "but a musitian". Wolsey fell from favour in 1529, and in 1530 Taverner left the college. He married a widow, one Rose Parrowe, probably in 1536, and she outlived him until 1553. During the last five months of the composer's life, he was an alderman in the city council of Boston. For about three years, previously, he was the treasurer of the Corpus Christi Gild, there in Boston.

paragraph: As far as can be told, Taverner had no further musical appointments, nor can any of his known works be dated to after that time, so he may have ceased composition. It is often said that after leaving Oxford, Taverner worked as an agent of Thomas Cromwell assisting in the Dissolution of the Monasteries, although the veracity of this is now thought to be highly questionable. He is known to have settled eventually in Boston, Lincolnshire, where he was a small landowner and reasonably well-off. He is buried with his wife under the belltower at Boston Parish Church. (In the few existing copies of his signature, the composer actually spelled his last name "Tavernor.") The 20th-century composer, Sir John Tavener claimed (even in his early teens), to be his direct descendant.

paragraph: Section::::Works.

paragraph: Most of Taverner's music is vocal, and includes masses, Magnificats and motets. The bulk of his output is thought to date from the 1520s. His best-known motet is "Dum Transisset Sabbatum."

paragraph: One of his best-known masses is based on a popular song called "The Western Wynde" (John Sheppard and Christopher Tye later also wrote masses based on this same song). Taverner's "Western Wynde" mass is unusual for the period because the theme tune appears in each of the four parts, excepting the alto, at different times. Perhaps his most celebrated work is his "Missa Gloria tibi Trinitas", which Taverner probably composed during his years at Christ Church, Oxford. Commonly his masses are designed so that each of the four sections (Gloria, Credo, Sanctus-Benedictus and Agnus Dei) are about the same length, often achieved by putting the same number of repetitions of the thematic material in each. For example, in the "Western Wynde" mass, the theme is repeated nine times in each section. As the sections have texts of very different lengths, he uses extended melismata in the movements with fewer words.

paragraph: Several of his other masses use the widespread "cantus firmus" technique, where a plainchant melody with long note values is placed in an interior part, often the tenor. Examples of cantus firmus masses include "Corona Spinea" and "Gloria Tibi Trinitas". Another technique of composition is seen in his mass "Mater Christi", which is based upon material taken from his motet of that name, and hence known as a "derived" or "parody" mass.

paragraph: The "Missa Gloria tibi Trinitas" gave origin to the style of instrumental work known as an "In nomine." Although this mass is in six parts, some more virtuosic sections are in reduced numbers of parts, presumably intended for soloists, a compositional technique used in several of his masses. The section at the words "in nomine ..." in the Benedictus is in four parts, with the plainchant in the alto. This section of the mass became popular as an instrumental work for viol consort. Other composers came to write instrumental works modelled on this, and the name "In nomine" was given to works of this type.

paragraph: The life of Taverner was the subject of "Taverner", an opera by Peter Maxwell Davies.

paragraph: Nguyễn Quảng Tuân

paragraph: Nguyễn Quảng Tuân (Chữ Nôm:阮廣詢) (June 11, 1925 – May 20, 2019) was a writer, poet and researcher in South Vietnam. He was born in the village of Yên Mẫn, the district Võ Giàng (now district of Quế Võ), the province of Bắc Ninh, northern Vietnam.

paragraph: Section::::Background.

paragraph: Nguyễn Quảng Tuân, who was born on June 11, 1925, during his studying at Bưởi School in Hanoi, already had poems published in "Tia Sang and Thoi su Chu Nhat". He also wrote a play in verse, "The Sound of Flute on the O River", which was performed twice: the first time on 4&5 May 1946 in the Grand Theater in Ha Noi and the second time on 23 & 24 of May, 1946 in Hà Tĩnh's local theater. He became a teacher at Ngô Quyền High School, Hải Phòng, in 1949, and by 1953 he had his "Collection of Poems by Chu Mạnh Trinh and Thanh Tâm Tài Nhân" published. He then had his mind set on studying The Tale of Kieu by Nguyễn Du. After he was promoted headmaster of Duy Tân high school in Phan Rang, he had his series of Vietnamese Literature textbooks successively published – grade 6 to 12 – as well as "A Concise Comparative Spelling Dictionary".

paragraph: After 1975, Nguyễn Quảng Tuân started his studies in Chinese Nôm characters, especially "The Tale of Kiều", of which he had collected many ancient Nôm scripts.

paragraph: The favourite genre of Nguyễn is hát nói and he is famous for his works of ca trù. Following are comments from Professor Trần Văn Khê, a well-known specialist in Vietnamese traditional music: ""Reading 'Vinh Kieu' was such a surprise and delight. I know very well that Nguyễn Quảng Tuân is an expert in Kiều, but all his Kieu odes in hát nói genre are beyond my expectations. Writing 20 odes for the 20 episodes in the Tale of Kieu plus 6 odes for its 6 characters is no simple work. Such literary achievement must come from a poet who has not only deep understanding of Kiều but also comfortable use of the hát nói genre.""

paragraph: Professor Trần Văn Khê is very accurate in his description of Nguyễn Quảng Tuân, both as a scholar and a poet. Following is a Đường luật poem in which Tuân goes over his life story in eight simple lines:

paragraph: A devoted educator, a reputed textbook author and an experienced researcher in Truyện Kiều, knowledgeable in both Oriental and Western studies, Tuân was invited to sit as head judge in the Judge Committee of the Gold Book Contest held every two years. To research Nguyễn Du's career, the great author of world culture, Tuân spent many years travelling to France, England, US, Japan and China in search of documents and Nôm scripts of The tale of Kiều. In France, Tuân asked for a copy of Kim Vân Kiều tân truyện inscribed in 1871 at Liễu Vân Đường's request. That was the only Nôm copy left, now stored in the Inter-university Library of Oriental Languages in France. In the US, he obtained from Professor Đàm Quang Hưng a copy of "Đoạn trường tân thanh", revised, then copied by Hoàng Giáp Tiểu Tô Lâm – Nọa Phu – Nguyễn Hữu Lập at Tây hiên Ministry of Construction, Huế. This original copy of Truyện Kiều has now been sent to the Kiều expert, Nguyễn Quảng Tuân, by Professor Đàm Quang Hưng, so he can show it to those who need more information about it or who would like to see things with their own eyes. In England, he was able to hold a very beautiful handwritten copy of "Kim Vân Kiều tân truyện" with illustrations on every page and notes in Chinese. The book is an extremely valuable work of art. At the British Library, he was not allowed to copy the whole book but only a few pages for his personal library. In China, he traveled from Beijing to Hàng Châu, visiting the Tien Duong river to get to know more about the locations of Thúy Kiều's eventful life, and "to live the soul of each word of the book", as stated by Professor Dr. Mai Quốc Liên. In Vietnam, Tuân visited Nguyễn Du's paternal hometown in Tiên Điền, Nghi Xuân of Hà Tĩnh province. On the occasion, he wrote the following eulogy in honour of Nguyễn Du:

paragraph: And on November 15, 2004, on a trip to his own hometown – Yên Mẫn, Võ Giàng of Bắc Ninh province – Tuân also headed for Nguyễn Du's maternal hometown – Kim Thiều (previously known as Hoa Thiều), Từ Sơn (previously called Đông Ngàn) of the same town, in search of more documents. Following is an extract from Quê Mẹ (Maternal hometown), which he wrote during the trip:

paragraph: During his trips in search of documents, he was lucky enough to meet Mr. Đinh Sỹ Hồng – head of the committee in charge of Nguyễn Du's commemoration. From him, Tuân obtained a copy of Kim Vân Kiều tân truyện, which Liễu Văn Đường had inscribed in 1866. This copy, discovered in Nghệ An in May, 2004, is now considered the oldest in the collection of Kiều's Nôm scripts. The Kiều expert, Mr. Nguyễn Quảng Tuân, immediately took to the transcribing, contrasting and annotating work, which was published by the Cultural House and Center of National Studies in September, 2004. Following is an extract from "The tale of Kiều. The oldest Nôm copy of 1886: A valuable literary work" (Jan. 5, 2005) by professor Trần Thanh Đạm: ""Scholar Nguyễn Quảng Tuân, expert in Hán Nôm linguistics and literature, is well-known for his great collection of ancient scripts of Vietnamese literature, especially those of The tale of Kiều. As a result, the devoted researcher has now in hand almost all Nôm scripts of Kiều. This is a blessing which he deserves… Scholar Nguyễn Quảng Tuân is also appreciated for his use of modern computer technology: thanks to it, he has always provided us with Hán Nôm copies of good quality, well printed, accurate and so convenient for inspection and use by researchers.""

paragraph: Tuân has spent 40 years collecting Nôm scripts of The tale of Kiều inscribed in wood one or two hundred years ago. This collection has made it possible to contrast the different copies and add appropriate annotations. As a result, the version of The tale of Kieu can now be revised to be as close as possible to Nguyễn Du's original.

paragraph: As stated above, Nguyễn Quảng Tuân is not only the expert in Kiều but also a poet. He published his verses in five books: "Tiếng tri âm" (Voice of a friend, including many verses in hát nói genre); "Ca trù: Thú xưa tao nhã" (Ca Trù, the refined entertainment of old days); "Ca trù: Hồn thơ dân tộc" (Ca trù, the poetic Soul of the people); "Ca trù: Cung bậc tri âm" (Ca trù: the musical notes of a friend) and "Tập Kiều, vịnh Kiều" (written in hát nói genre)

paragraph: Professor Trần Văn Khê also had remarks on Nguyễn Quảng Tuân's works on Ca trù:

paragraph: ""As a poet, Nguyễn Quảng Tuân not only expressed the feelings of the past generations but also expands the inspiring topics. He was not only inspired by beautiful sceneries within the country like Hùng temple, Hạ Long and many famous pagodas. He also wrote many odes praising the Eiffel tower, the Concorde Square during his visit to Paris. When he visited the US, he praised the state of California, the Pacific coast line and Washington, D.C. In China, he climbed the Great Wall, meeting the challenge that a great man should visit the Great Wall. When he composed about this construction he mentioned its historical background… Based on the number of hát nói poems written before 2000 and recently, I can conclude that Nguyễn Quảng Tuân has composed the most hát nói works in great diversity. I would like to express my deep admiration for the erudition and creative mind of this very special author, poet and researcher on ca trù.""

paragraph: The Nôm Preservation Foundation honored Nguyễn Quảng Tuân with the "Balaban Award" for his outstanding contribution to Nôm studies in 2010.

paragraph: Eugen Guido Lammer

paragraph: Eugen Guido Lammer was a mountaineer of Austrian origin. Along with August Lorria, he was one of the pioneers of climbing routes without help provided from professional guides. In 1887 he attempted to climb the route Penhall in Matterhorn on the Western side, but was swept away from an avalanche. Lammer, being injured, he had to crawl from Stokje to Stafel Alp to ask aid for his seriously injured comrade. Lammer and others were opposed to the traditional way of mountaineering. He never used mountain guides, artificial equipment or anything else that intervened between the mountaineer and the mountain.

paragraph: Timothy Richard

paragraph: Timothy Richard (Chinese: 李提摩太 "Li Timotai", 10 October 1845 – 17 April 1919) was a Welsh Baptist missionary to China, who influenced the modernisation of China and the rise of the Chinese Republic.

paragraph: Richard was born on 10 October 1845 in Ffaldybrenin, Carmarthenshire in south Wales, the son of Timothy and Eleanor Richard, a devout Baptist farming family. Inspired by the Second Evangelical Awakening to become a missionary, Richard left teaching to enter Haverfordwest Theological College in 1865. There he dedicated himself to China, where he had an active role in relief operations during the Northern Chinese Famine of 1876–1879, and was instrumental in promoting anti-foot binding and gender equality in China.

paragraph: Richard applied to the newly formed China Inland Mission, but Hudson Taylor considered that he would be of better service to the denominational Baptist missions. In 1869 the Baptist Missionary Society (BMS) accepted Richard's application, and assigned him to Yantai (Chefoo), Shandong Province.

paragraph: In 1897 Richard undertook a journey to India to discover the conditions of the Christian mission there. Travelling with a young missionary, Arthur Gostick Shorrock, they visited Ceylon, Madras, Agra, Benares, Delhi, Calcutta and finally Bombay.

paragraph: Timothy Richard helped the Qing government to deal with the aftermath of the Taiyuan massacre during the Boxer Rebellion. He thought the main cause of the Boxer Rebellion was due to lack of education of the population, so he proposed to Qing court official Li Hongzhang to establish a modern university in Taiyuan with Boxer Indemnity to the Great Britain, and his proposal was approved later. In 1902, Timothy Richard represented the British government to establish Shanxi University, one of the three earliest modern universities in China. Timothy Richard was in charge of the fund to build Shanxi University until ten years later in 1912. During that period, he also served as the head of the College of Western Studies in Shanxi University.

paragraph: In China, Timothy Richard became a contributor to the monthly "Wan Guo Gong Bao", or "Review of the Times", which Young John Allen founded and edited from 1868 to 1907. This paper was "said...to have done more for reform than any other single agency in China." The "Review" attracted a wide and influential Chinese readership throughout its thirty-nine year run. One of the ways in which the "Review" appealed to a broad, scholarly audience was through its discussion of current events and economics. During the First Sino-Japanese War period of 1894-1895, essay titles included: “International Intercourse, by a descendent of Confucius,” “How to Enrich a Nation, by Dr. Joseph Edkins”, “The Prime Benefits of Christianity, by the Rev. Timothy Richard,” and “On the Suppression of Doubt and the Acceptance of Christ, by Sung Yuh-kwei.” The articles attributed practical applications to the Christian faith and portrayed Christianity as a useful concept for the Chinese, one that Allen and his contributors intended to portray on an equal level to concepts such as market economics and international law. The Qing reformer Kang Youwei once said of the publication: "I owe my conversion to reform chiefly on the writings of two missionaries, the Rev. Timothy Richard and the Rev. Dr. Young J. Allen."

paragraph: Richard also translated "Looking Backward" into Chinese as 百年一覺 "Bainian Yi Jiao", and part of Wu Cheng'en's novel, "Journey to the West" into English.

paragraph: Richard's papers are preserved in the BMS archives at Regent's Park College, Oxford.

paragraph: On death in April 1919, Richard was cremated, and his ashes placed in the columbarium of Golders Green Crematorium. The memorial tablet is largely in Chinese.

paragraph: Valentino Urbani

paragraph: Valentino Urbani (born in Udine; "fl." 1690–1722) was an Italian alto castrato who sang for the composer George Frideric Handel in the 18th century. He was known by the stage name Valentini. He sang the role of Eustazio at the première of Handel’s "Rinaldo", the role of Silvio at the premiere of "Il pastor fido", and the role of Egeo at the first performance of "Teseo". His powers of singing seem to have been limited and by the time of his Handel roles his voice was declining but he is reputed to have been a fine actor.

paragraph: Charles Burney noted that "his voice was feeble, and his execution moderate", but Cibber praises his acting enthusiastically: "his hearers bore with the absurdity of his singing the part of Turnus in "Camilla", all in Italian, while every other character was sung and recited in English".

paragraph: Urbani was the first castrato to sing regularly in London, where he created a sensation and made his début at Drury Lane in 1707. He sang in many different "pasticcios" and several bilingual operas – operas that were sung in both Italian and English – and had a benefit concert each year. His last known dramatic appearance was in Hamburg in 1722. He had earlier sung at Venice, Parma, Rome, Bologna, and Genoa.

paragraph: Vern Den Herder

paragraph: Vern Wayne Den Herder (born November 28, 1948) is a former American football player who played 12 seasons for the Miami Dolphins of the NFL. He played in three Super Bowls for the Dolphins. In 1996, he was selected to the College Football Hall of Fame.

paragraph: Section::::High school career.

paragraph: Den Herder attended high school in Sioux Center, Iowa. There was no football team his first two years but he was a star in his junior and senior seasons. He was a star in basketball and added football his last two years.

paragraph: Section::::College career.

paragraph: Den Herder chose Central College in Pella, Iowa, because of its reputation for education in sciences and its affiliation with the Reformed Church in America. He was graduated cum laude with a major in chemistry. At in height, he was the starting center on Central's basketball team for four years and set the school scoring record. He played defensive end in football. CBS anchorman Harry Smith was a teammate.

paragraph: Den Herder made All-Iowa Conference in 1968, 1969, and 1970. In 1970, his senior season, he was team captain, Iowa Conference MVP, and was named All-America, college division, by the NAIA, the Football Coaches Association, and the Associated Press. Furthermore, he was coached by the late Ron Schipper, himself a College Football Hall of Famer, at Central Iowa.

paragraph: Section::::Professional career.

paragraph: As the NFL did not officially maintain sack records until 1982, he unofficially led the Dolphins in sacks in 1972 with 10½; Den Herder also unofficially led the team in 1975 with a career high 11 sacks. He was named All-AFC in 1972. In October 1973, he unofficially tied Bill Stanfill for most sacks in a single game with 5, as Stanfill had recently surpassed the previous total just two weeks earlier. Also, he unofficially led the Dolphins in sacks during the 1978 and 1979 seasons with 9. His unofficial total of 64½ sacks ranks fourth on the Dolphins sack list. In addition to his five-sack game in 1973, Den Herder recorded two four-sack games (September 22, 1974, at Buffalo Bills) and (November 11, 1979, vs. Baltimore Colts). He was voted by the NEA as the Dolphins MVP in 1979.

paragraph: Coach Don Shula called him "one of the most dependable players I've ever coached."

paragraph: Section::::Retirement and post-football career.

paragraph: Seeing that the game had evolved toward more passing-oriented strategies that weren't attuned to his run-stopping ability, Den Herder originally decided to retire in 1981, returning to his hometown to work in a cattle feeding operation. However, Coach Shula asked him to return to the game for one more season after the Dolphins roster had thinned due to injuries. He ended his career after playing in Super Bowl XVII.

paragraph: After retiring from football for the second time, Den Herder returned to Sioux Center, Iowa and became a farmer, now specializing in corn and soybeans. He is married and the father of two children. Due to a harvest, he was unable to join the rest of the 1972 Perfect Season Dolphins at a ceremony in their honor, hosted by President Barack Obama at the White House.

paragraph: Malik Turner

paragraph: Malik Turner (Michael Muhammad) is an American rapper and producer from Fayetteville, NC, who came to prominence in the 1990s as a rapper. He is known for his politically aware, socially conscious lyrics, and sample heavy production. Malik is the other half of the duo, "Malik Turner (Malik - Mad Lyrics) and DJ Master Jam". The duo was formed in the early 1990s when Malik and DJ, Master Jam were college students at Cheyney University. In 1992 Malik and Jam, along with two friends, Allen "Nadir" Muhammad and Milton "Fahyim" Sharp formed "Son of Man Productions". In 1994, with the support of Guru from Gang Starr, and DJ Sean Ski, Son of Man Productions released the classic independent single, "No More 9 to 5" and "The Last Days of Wax" on their own label "Mpacked Sounds". The classic record was mastered by mastering engineer Tony Dawsey. Mpacked Sounds focused on a more independent label and artist ownership position in their music, during a time when their peers were interested in seeking record deals from major labels. At the time "Billboard" noted the lead single "No More 9 to 5", for having top 40 single potential and hip hop magazines like "Rap Sheet" and "Rap Pages" featured Malik and Master Jam as a rising duo to look out for. Projects with Mpacked Sounds led to opportunities to share the stage with the likes of Brand Nubian, the Fu-Schnickens, Black Sheep, Poor Righteous Teachers, Da Bush Babees, The U.M.C.'s, Rakim, and others.

paragraph: Malik is also known for being a group member and lead vocalist (rapper) for the "New Blackbyrds", a Jazz fusion group formed by the legendary trumpeter, Donald Byrd; a sister project to Guru's (GangStarr) "Jazzmatazz, The New Reality". Malik's work with Donald Byrd included numerous unreleased recorded songs, and performances at The Supper Club (NYC), SOB's, Brooklyn Academy of Music (BAM), the Playboy Jazz Festival (Hollywood Bowl), Catalina Jazz Club, Black Entertainment Television (Jazz Central) and more. Malik's association with Donald Byrd and the New Blackbirds has allowed him to share the stage with Jazz musicians such as Ramsey Lewis, Max Roach, Joe Sample, and others. Malik's unique lyrical ability and flexibility landed him the opportunity to perform in the dance musical "The Predators Ball -Huckstersof the soul" produced by Karole Armitage (The Armitage Foundation) and John Gould Rubin. The musical was performed at the "Next Wave Festival", Brooklyn Academy of Music, and in Florence, Italy at Teatro Comunale Florence. Malik has written and perform for the sitcom "Cosby" with friend and actor Doug E. Doug, and also Jazz musician Don Braden.

paragraph: Section::::Early life.

paragraph: Malik is the son of Juarita L. Turner and James M. Davis. He was raised by his mother in Fayetteville, NC, while his father lived in Trenton, NJ. While his father was a member of the Nation of Islam and later a member in the community of Imam Warith Deen Mohammed (son of Elijah Muhammad), who merged into mainstream Islam. Malik was not exposed to Islam until the age of 16. Malik at a young age moved to Fayetteville, NC, but lived in numerous states including, New Jersey, and New York. He attended and graduated from Terry Sanford Senior High School in Fayetteville, NC. At 10 years old, while living in Plainfield, NJ, he knew his calling was in Hip Hop and set out on a path to be an emcee. At a young age he would be found break dancing, and rhyming in middle school with childhood friend and rapper, Skillz (Mad Skillz). He started recording music in the mid-1980s with a childhood friend who was his DJ. After rocking many house parties, and working on his lyrical skills, he was offered to travel as a performer with a friend's father who DJ'ed parties throughout North Carolina. This was Malik's first paying gig a mere $50.00 a week. After visiting Trenton, NJ over the summer, and with the heavy influences of the Five Percent Nation, Malik soon began spending his summers between Trenton, and Brooklyn, NY. Around the same time Malik met Wise, Human Beat Box and rapper of Hip Hop band Stetsasonic at a show in Fayetteville, NC. The elder Wise took a liken to Malik, they kept in contact, and Wise began to school him on the music business. Malik was soon introduced through a relative to Melquan Smith (Melquan Productions) and Shabazz Fuller (Shabazz Brothers) of then Yamaka Records, who managed at the time Prince Rakeem (RZA, Wu Tang Clan), The Genius (GZA, Wu Tang Clan), and Divine Force. Malik soon began to hone his lyrical skills under the tutelage of Melquan and Shabazz and was soon taking lessons from his peers on Yamaka Records. With this new exposure, Malik continued working on his skills, recording music, and going to shows with the Yamaka Records team while spending more time in Brooklyn. While attending Cheyney University, Malik would travel back and forth to New York to get as much exposure as possible. In between traveling back and forth to New York, sitting in on recording sessions, and frequent visits to the Nuyorican Café (Lyricist Lounge), Malik began to redirect his focus on the business of music. In order to increase his knowledge of the music business and gain more insight and exposure, a friend recommended that he do an internship. He was soon introduced to Justo Faizon (Founder, Annual Mix Tape Awards), who was the A&R at Nervous Records and soon started working under Justo as an intern. Interning at Nervous Records, eventually led to an Internship with Select Records.

paragraph: Section::::Education.

paragraph: Malik Turner attended Cheyney University of Pennsylvania, the oldest HBCU in the United States. He also attended the College of New Rochelle, Metropolitan College of New York and New Brunswick Theological Seminary in New Jersey. Malik holds Bachelors and master's degrees.
