Sir <mask> (or Cholmeley) (c. 1460–1521) was an English farmer and soldier, who served as Lieutenant of the Tower of London from 1513 to 1520 during the reign of Henry VIII. He is remembered because of his tomb at the Tower of London and because he is fictionalized as a character in Gilbert and Sullivan's darkly comic opera, The Yeomen of the Guard. Cholmeley's name has frequently been misspelled "<mask>" because of its misspelling in the plaque on his tomb, which led to the misspelling of the character's name in the opera; other branches of Cholmeley's family use the longer spelling. Knighted in 1497 for valour in battle against the Scots, Cholmeley continued to serve as a soldier until 1513, becoming entrusted with many positions of responsibility for security of castles and fortifications in England. He was successful as a farmer and a shrewd investor in land, much increasing his family wealth. As Lieutenant of the Tower of London, he drew criticism for his reaction to the Evil May Day riots of 1517, when he ordered the firing of some of the Tower's artillery at the city to suppress rioting. He was also responsible for the rebuilding of the chapel of St Peter ad Vincula at the Tower.His illegitimate son, Roger Cholmeley, became Lord Chief Justice of the court of King's Bench. Life and career
Cholmeley (pronounced "Chumley") was born at Chorley, a small settlement approximately six miles south west of Nantwich, Cheshire near Cholmondeley, the eldest son of Joan Eyton and John Cholmeley, wealthy sheep farmers and land owners. See the heading "Tomb and Family Name", below, regarding the family name. While <mask> was very young, his family moved to East Yorkshire, where his maternal grandfather held extensive estates. Early career
Cholmeley was appointed Bailiff of York in 1492 and High Sheriff of Northumberland in 1495. In 1497, he served under Thomas Howard, Earl of Surrey to repel a Scots assault at Norham Castle, a stronghold of the Bishopric of Durham. For his service, Cholmeley was knighted in the field at Ayton by Lord Surrey as representative of the king.In the same year, he was appointed Lieutenant of Berwick upon Tweed and Governor of Kingston upon Hull. In 1499, Cholmeley and his younger brother Roger were appointed Constables of Pickering Castle, North Yorkshire and Stewards of the Honour and Foresters of the Royal Forest. While Roger settled in the constable's lodgings at the castle, Sir <mask> purchased a small estate and house at nearby Thornton on the Hill (now part of Thornton-le-Dale). In 1506, Cholmeley was appointed Collector of the Great Custom in the Port of London. In 1513, the Scots invaded England to meet their treaty obligations to France under the Auld Alliance. At the Battle of Flodden, the English, including a Cheshire levy under Cholmeley's command, successfully repelled the Scots. He had brought with him the Citizen Yeomenry of Hull.With English victory, Lord Surrey was restored as Duke of Norfolk. Lieutenant of the Tower
In October 1513, Cholmeley was appointed Lieutenant of the Tower of London and Supervisor General of Richmond Castle and eleven other Yorkshire castles and manors. There was no suitable house for Cholmeley and his family within the Tower precincts, and so he purchased a house in nearby Barking, where he lived while serving as Lieutenant of the Tower. The Lieutenant served under the Constable of the Tower, at the time Thomas Lovell. The duties of the Lieutenant included defence, maintenance, and custody of the prisoners at the Tower, including escorting prisoners of note to trial at Westminster Hall which, at that time, housed the courts of law. Cholmeley's maintenance works included the complete rebuilding of the chapel of St Peter ad Vincula, the parish church of the Tower of London, which had been largely destroyed by fire in 1512. The construction was carried out in 1519–20.Cholmeley lost some favour with the City of London authorities because of his reaction to the Evil May Day riots of 1517. During the riots, he furiously ordered the firing of some of the Tower's artillery at the city during rioting by gangs of young Londoners, who attacked foreigners, especially the wealthy foreign merchants and bankers of Lombard Street, London and who took control of London for several days. This drew the ire of the city elders. In 1520, he resigned his post at the Tower due to ill health. He died in March 1521 (1522 by the modern calendar system) in St Katharine's by the Tower. Cholmeley is the only historical character to appear in a Gilbert and Sullivan opera, The Yeomen of the Guard. In the story of that opera, while serving as Lieutenant of the Tower, Cholmeley finds that a prominent prisoner, scheduled to be executed, has escaped.He launches a full-scale investigation. Legacy
Cholmeley became very wealthy by inheritance and shrewd property investments. At the time of his death, he held extensive estates in Northumberland, Cumberland, Yorkshire, Cambridgeshire, Essex, Middlesex, Kent and Calais, along with several properties in London. By his will dated 26 December 1521, he left the bulk of his estate to his widow Elizabeth (nee Pennington), with bequests to his only issue, his illegitimate son, named Roger. Cholmeley willed specific items of value to his younger brother, also named Roger. Cholmeley's widow, Elizabeth, later married her third husband, Sir William Gascoigne of Cardington, Bedfordshire (her first husband was Sir Walter Strickland of Sizergh). She died in 1546.His illegitimate son, Roger Cholmeley, enrolled at Lincoln's Inn to study law in 1506, eventually becoming Recorder of the City of London (from 1535 to 1545), a member of parliament and Chief Baron of the Exchequer (from 1545). He was knighted in 1534. In May 1552, he was appointed as Chief Justice of the King's Bench. He was Lord Chief Justice for only a year because Queen Mary I would not reappoint him. Also in 1552, he was imprisoned for six weeks in the Tower of London and fined for signing Lady Jane Grey's instrument of succession as Queen. He returned to work as a barrister and was a member of parliament for Middlesex in the early 1550s. Roger died in 1565, survived by two daughters.He is possibly best remembered for his endowment to found a free grammar school, Highgate School, at London. Cholmeley's brother, Roger, had a son whom he named <mask>, whose descendants are the Cholmeleys of Roxby, Bramston and Whitby. This is the line of the current 7th Baronet, Sir Frederick Sebastian Cholmeley of Easton Hall, Grantham, Lincolnshire. Cholmeley's cousin, <mask> of Cholmondeley, Cheshire, was married to Elizabeth Brereton of Malpas, whose brother, William Brereton, was executed in 1536 on suspicion of being Anne Boleyn's lover. That branch of the family's descendants, beginning with Sir <mask>, included the Marquesses and Earls of Cholmondeley. Tomb and family name
In 1522, after the rebuilding of St. Peter ad Vincula, a tomb was built in the church covered by effigies of Cholmeley and his wife. The monument is one of the oldest in the chapel, where many famous people who were executed at the Tower are buried.The alabaster effigies lie fenced in ironwork under the central arcade. However, Cholmeley is not buried in this tomb. In his will, he requests that he be buried "within the Chapel of our blessed Lady of Barking beside the Tower of London" (now called "All Hallows, Barking") and that if the Masters and Wardens would not agree, then "my body be buried in the Church of the Crutched Friars beside the Tower of London" (now called "St. Olaf's"). All Hallows was almost totally destroyed during the blitz of London during World War II, and so it is not known whether he was buried there or at St. Olaf's. There is some evidence that he may have been buried in one of the tombs of the Cholmondeley, Cheshire branch of his family. Cholmeley's family can be traced back to the 12th century Robert de Chelmundelegh, second son of William le Belward, who inherited parts of the Barony of Malpas (for which Malpas is named), including Cholmondeley, Cheshire, previously held by Robert Fitzhugh. Over the centuries, the family name was spelled in many variants as middle-English developed away from French influences.Different branches of the family spell the name differently, and Cholmeley's most famous cousins, of Cholmondeley, Cheshire, spell the name "Cholmondeley". In Victorian times, Sir <mask>'s tomb in St. Peter ad Vincula was relocated and had a new name panel fitted. The panel states that the Lieutenant of the Tower was named <mask> "<mask>". Thus, Gilbert and Sullivan called him "<mask> <mask>". However, Sir <mask>'s father was John Cholmeley, his grandfather was William Cholmeley, and his brother was Roger Cholmeley. His will is signed <mask>, and his illegitimate son was Sir Roger Cholmeley. After the Cholmondeley branch of the family became the more highly titled branch, Sir <mask>, Lieutenant of the Tower, was confused with his cousin, <mask> of Cholmondeley, Cheshire, or one of the five knights named <mask>, Chomondley or Cholmeley living around the same time.Notes

<mask> (also <mask>; 10 March 192718 June 1984) was an Indonesian film actress active from 1951 to 1983. Born in the Central Javan city of Magelang, she took to the stage in the 1940s before moving to Jakarta in 1949. Two years later she made her feature film debut in Untuk Sang Merah Putih. Over the next two decades she appeared in over seventy films, became recognized for her depictions of mothers, and received the Citra Award for Best Supporting Actress. Despite her productiveness, however, she sank into debt and committed suicide at the age of fifty-seven. Biography
<mask> was born in Magelang, Central Java, on 10 March 1927. She was of mixed Bugis and Javanese descent, through her father and mother, respectively.She received an elementary education at a Dutch-run school for indigenous Indonesians. By the 1940s she had become involved in the theatre, and married Hardjo Samidi. During the Indonesian National Revolution, while her husband was held by the returning Dutch colonial forces, Hardi eked out a living on her own. In late 1949 Hardi and her husband moved to Jakarta. Two years later she made her feature film debut in a bit role in the Produksi Film Negara (PFN; State Film Corporation)'s Untuk Sang Merah Putih. The following year she took a starring role in another PFN film, Si Pintjang, portraying an old woman; as she was only twenty-four, she was artificially aged with make-up. That same year she appeared as the lead love interest in Selamat Berdjuang, Masku!, a Djakarta Film production.Hardi completed four other films in 1951. Over the next decade Hardi appeared in more than a dozen films, often in mother roles, for a number of companies, including Perfini's Terimalah Laguku (1952) and Tjambuk Api (1958), Gabungan Artis Film's Pulang (1952), Bintang Surabaja's Pelarian dari Pagar Besi (1951), and Kino Drama Atelier's Gadis Olahraga (1951). She also started a short-lived company, Budaya Film (literally 'Culture Film'), which had a single production: Uang Palsu (1955), directed by Hasan Basry R.M. By April 1955 she and Samidi, who was working as an employee of the censorship bureau, had two children: Hartati and Pradjono. In the mid-1960s, despite the film industry stagnating in Indonesia's economic and political turmoils, Hardi remained active. She appeared in five films between 1964 and 1967, winning a Citra Award for Best Supporting Actress for her role in Petir Sepandjang Malam. During the 1970s and early 1980s she was mainly active in supporting roles – often as mother figures.She had also found success on television with the TVRI series , which debuted in 1973 and continued until <mask>'s death. On the show, she portrayed the wife of Awaludin, with a number of younger actors playing their children. The success of this programme led to numerous imitations. Despite her popular success, however, Hardi was sinking into debt. On 18 June 1984, she was found dead in her Jakarta home, having hanged herself. In her suicide note, Hardi wrote that she had been driven to kill herself by her debts; she owed five million rupiah to her arisan group. In one letter, to fellow actor , she wrote that suicide "was the best road" for her.In another letter, to TVRI, she asked the company to take care of affairs related to her burial. In a column, the journalist-cum-actor  wrote that her death was all the more shocking owing to Hardi's frequent portrayal of strong, wise mothers, to whom millions of viewers could turn when they felt themselves lost in the bustle of modern life. Similar sentiments were expressed in an obituary in Tempo: "now we have all become orphans". Awards
Hardi won a Citra Award for Best Supporting Actress at the Indonesian Film Festival for her performance as Djafar's mother in Petir Sepandjang Malam in 1967. In 1981 she was nominated for a Citra Award for Best Supporting Actress for her role as Grandmother in Busana dalam Mimpi, but lost out to Mieke Wijaya of Kembang Semusim. Filmography

Career

White House
<mask> began his career at the White House as a computer specialist after answering a job advertisement in The Washington Post. Soon, White House Chief Usher Gary J. Walters hired him to replace the retiring Nelson Pierce as an assistant White House chief usher. <mask> served as an usher in the Reagan Administration beginning in January 1986.In this capacity, he worked in a four-person office to oversee the White House estate, including managing the 89 residence staff. In addition, part of <mask>'s job was to carry out White House functions such as receptions, dinners, and conferences. In so doing, <mask> worked in tandem with the First Family, the White House staff, the chief usher, the press office, the Secret Service, and military leaders. <mask> gave personal tours of the White House to private guests including some notable figures such as: Barbra Streisand, Dana Carvey, Ted Williams, Joe DiMaggio, Julia Roberts, Tom Hanks, Julie Andrews, Johnny Carson, and Melanie Griffith. On March 3, 1994, <mask>'s unusually abrupt firing was the subject of nationwide news when Hillary Clinton dismissed him for communicating with former first lady Barbara Bush. Despite passing several FBI investigations and background checks, <mask> was fired by Hillary Clinton for "an incredible lack of discretion" after communicating twice with the former first lady. He was the first-ever White House usher to be fired.A White House usher does not typically change with administrations. White House Chief Usher Gary J. Walters was not permitted by the White House to testify before a Congressional subcommittee on <mask>'s dismissal. This led to some suspicions on Capitol Hill that the White House was attempting to avoid scrutiny about the firing. Howard County administrator
After his dismissal from the White House, <mask> worked for eleven months as a computer consultant. In March 1995, he was appointed council administrator of Howard County, Maryland, replacing former University System of Maryland assistant vice-chancellor Sheila Tolliver. As the council administrator, he oversaw a staff of 25 people with an operating budget of about $1 million. Views on his tenure are split along party lines.He has earned the praise of Republican Council Chairman Charles C. Feaga and Allan H. Kittleman. In June 1996, <mask> publicly clashed with Democratic Councilman C. Vernon Gray over his alleged misuse of county funds and resources to aid in his campaign for a position with the National Association of Counties (NAOC). Weeks later, Gray wrongfully accused Emery of leaking NAOC campaign letters to The Baltimore Sun. <mask> was vindicated by the Howard County Police Department; Gray subsequently found his letters in a different file in his office. Effective December 4, 1998, <mask> resigned when Democrats regained the majority on the Howard County Council. Later years
After his time as a council administrator, <mask> returned to the federal government as a supervisory information technology specialist at the Architect of the Capitol (AOC) where he later served as the director of information resources management. <mask> was promoted to chief enterprise architect of the AOC beginning in 2007.In this capacity, he oversaw the enterprise and technology management of the U.S. Capitol, Senate, the House of Representatives, the Library of Congress, and the Supreme Court.

With colleagues at the AOC and the National Science Foundation, <mask> also published a paper for the 40th Hawaii International Conference on System Sciences. In 2009, he became the chief information officer of the AOC. In 2010, <mask> served as the director of portfolio governance in the Office of the Chief CIO for the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. Two years later, in December 2012, he became the first chief information officer of the United States Department of Justice National Security Division.

These sets of series is by far her most popular, and comprise nearly a quarter of her work. The Baxters are either the main characters, or play key roles, in each of the books.

They were re-released in 2014 and included a letter from <mask> to her readers, explaining how writing these types of stories became too much for her to handle emotionally due to the darkness associated with them, and thus she changed genres to writing more general fiction with a Christian emphasis (which she titled, and has trademarked, as "Life-Changing Fiction").

In September 1936 he volunteered to fight on the Republican side in the Spanish Civil War. He arrived to Spain in the first group of Soviet volunteer pilots. <mask> participated in the aerial defence of Madrid from October 1936 to January 1937, flying a Polikarpov I-15.He has made 49 combat sorties, spending 66 hours in total. The data on number of his aerial victories is highly contradictory. According to, he downed 4 airplanes personally and 2 in team, according to, 5 aircraft personally. In January 1937 he returned to USSR prematurely because of health issues (he was wounded). At December 31, 1936, lieutenant <mask> <mask> was awarded the title of Hero of Soviet Union and Order of Lenin for his heroism.

<mask> (born 27 May 1953 in Barton-on-Sea, England) is a British conductor, composer of contemporary classical music and former percussionist. <mask> studied composition with Nadia Boulanger in Paris from 1971 to 1972 before going on to study music at Cambridge University, where he was organ scholar of Sidney Sussex College from 1972 until 1975. After graduating from Cambridge he went on to study percussion and conducting at the Royal Academy of Music, London, from 1975 until 1976. After a further year studying percussion privately with Nicholas Cole, <mask> embarked on a triple career as percussionist, composer and conductor. Career
In 1977 he was appointed conductor of the Schola Cantorum of Oxford, a post which he held until 1981, and immediately following this he founded the New London Chamber Choir, of which he was principal conductor for twenty-six years until moving to Germany in 2007. New London Chamber Choir (NLCC)
During his time with NLCC he pioneered a large amount of little-known choral music from a wide range of composers, including Iannis Xenakis, Tona Scherchen, Toru Takemitsu, Eric Bergman, Harrison Birtwistle, Lili Boulanger, Ruth Crawford, Luigi Dallapiccola, Frank Denyer, György Kurtág, György Ligeti, Almeida Prado, Giacinto Scelsi, Alfred Schnittke, Claude Vivier, Walter Zimmermann and <mask> himself. He was also responsible for the commissioning many new works (many of which included electronics) from composers including Jonathan Harvey (Forms of Emptiness, Ashes Dance Back, The Summer Cloud’s Awakening), Alejandro Vinao (Epitafios), Javier Alvarez (Calacas Imaginarias), Iannis Xenakis (Knephas), Luca Francesconi (Let me Bleed), Simon Bainbridge (Eicha), Roberto Sierra (Cantos Populares) and David Sawer (Stramm Gedichte).Many of <mask>’s own works were also specially written for NLCC, including Incantamenta (for 24 solo voices), Phainomena (for 18 solo voices, 17 instruments and electronics) and his large-scale church opera, Hildegard, for soloists, chorus, ensemble and electronics. With NLCC <mask> undertook numerous CD recordings, many of which were world premiere recordings: these included music by Eric Bergman (Chandos), Lili Boulanger (Hyperion),  Ruth Crawford Seeger (Deutsche Grammophon),  Giacinto Scelsi (Una Corda), Frank Denyer (Continuum), Iannis Xenakis (Hyperion) and <mask> himself. They also recorded music of Poulenc, and Janáček, for Hyperion, and Dallapiccola for Erato. Their 1990 Hyperion recording of Stravinsky’s Les Noces (performed in collaboration with the choir of the Institute of the Arts, Voronezh, Russia) was voted ‘best available recording’ in BBC Radio 3's 'Building a Library' in September 2000. They also collaborated with Oliver Knussen and the London Sinfonietta in a recording of Stravinsky’s The Flood and Requiem Canticles. In 1988, <mask> helped devise a BBC Two documentary about Lili Boulanger – Whom the Gods Loved directed by Hilary Boulding. The film culminated in performances of the Pie Jesu as well as Boulanger’s monumental Du Fond de l’Abime with Linda Hirst, Martyn Hill, New London Chamber Choir and the London Sinfonietta.Percussion activities
Alongside his activities as a conductor and composer, <mask> was also active as a percussionist in many contemporary ensembles including Lontano, Gemini, Matrix (director Alan Hacker), Dreamtiger, Endymion and the London Sinfonietta. In this capacity he was noticed by the new director of the Darmstädter Ferienkurse, Friedrich Ferdinand Hommel, who invited him to succeed Christoph Caskel as Professor of Percussion from 1982. He retained this position throughout the Hommel years until 1994. During this time he pioneered a wide range of new for solo percussion and percussion ensemble, including many new pieces of his own, such as Choroi kai Thaliai (1982), Ho shang Yao (1983) and Rogosanti (1986), which he toured extensively with the soprano, Sara Stowe and the sound engineer, John Whiting. All of these pieces were also recorded for CD and released by Continuum. He was artistic director of the 1988 and 1990 Percussion Festivals in London, and also devised two BBC TV documentaries on percussion in the BBC Two series Music in Camera, directed by Hilary Boulding. One of Friedrich Hommel’s principal aims as Director of the Darmstädter Ferienkurse had always been to establish the courses as a centre for the rapidly evolving world of percussion.To this end he commissioned <mask> to write a large-scale work for percussion ensemble which would make full use of the large number of talented young percussionists from all over the world who were coming to Darmstadt for the summer courses. The result was Stoicheia, a 65-minute work for two percussion soloists, two percussion ensembles, four synthesizers and electronics. The two soloists were Steven Schick and <mask> himself, and the work was subsequently recorded by Wergo. 1980s and 1990s
During the period from 1983 onwards <mask> started to experiment with microtonality. In Ho shang Yao (Songs by the River) he devised simple prototype quartertone extensions for marimba and glockenspiel. As a result of this and further experiments in works such as Spirit Festival with Lamentations , Stoicheia and the quartertone marimba concerto, Venancio Mbande talking with the trees, he became convinced that any future for microtonality would have to involve first and foremost the development of microtonal fixed-pitch instruments (for example keyboard percussion instruments) and the adoption of satisfactory designs by commercial instrument builders. Following his own second prototype quartertone marimba extension the design was taken up by the Dutch company, Adams, who produce them on special order.But outside the realm of purely fixed-pitch instruments, <mask> was also active in writing microtonal music for conventional instruments – this led to one of <mask>’s largest-scale works, Oreion, for large orchestra. Commissioned by the BBC for the 1989 Proms (9 August), this 30-minute work was performed by the BBC Symphony Orchestra conducted by <mask> himself. The work was subsequently selected for performance at the 1991 ISCM Festival in Zürich, performed this time by the Krakow Radio Orchestra, again conducted by the composer. This experience led to the idea of engaging in some kind of research and training programme for instrumentalists in microtonal performance, and so in 1990 <mask> founded London's first Centre for Microtonal Music, and its ensemble, Critical Band. The purpose of the Microtonal Centre was to research instrumental microtonal playing techniques, to teach these to young musicians whilst at the same time educating composers in the historical, theoretical, emotional and practical implications of microtonality. The initiative involved the collaboration of the Society for the Promotion of New Music (SPNM), the Guildhall School of Music and Drama, and the Barbican Centre in London, which held a Weekend of Microtonal Music, 'In Tune? ', in 1990, 1991 and 1992.Aside from its presence at the 'In Tune?' Festivals, the ensemble 'Critical Band' undertook several recordings, concerts and tours, including a CD of three of <mask>'s own compositions: Venancio Mbande talking with the Trees, Phainomena and Two men meet, each presuming the other to be from a distant planet. This latter work was also premiered by Critical Band at the 1995 BBC Proms (September 11). But after the late 1990s, both the Centre for Microtonal Music and Critical Band became disbanded through lack of funding. Ever conscious of the fact that electronic music provided a perfect medium in which to explore his love for both microtonality and new sounds, <mask> decided to immerse himself more fully in this world, and in 1996 undertook a major project at IRCAM in Paris. He worked together with Carl Faia on a new work for Alphorn, MIDI-cowbells and electronics – Mountain Language – from 1997 to 1998. This marked the start of a series of works involving electronics, including Séance (1996), Jodo (1999), Autumn Voices (2001) and the opera, Hildegard (2002–2006).Recent developments and move to Germany
From the mid-1990s, <mask> also started to receive conducting invitations from several European ensembles, including l’Itinéraire, Ensemble InterContemporain, musikFabrik and Champ d’Action, and choirs including Netherlands Radio Choir, Netherlands Chamber Choir, Swedish Radio Choir, Collegium Vocale Gent, West German Radio Choir, Berlin Radio Choir, RIAS Kammerchor, as well as the Tokyo Philharmonic Choir. In 2002, he worked closely with Karlheinz Stockhausen on the world premiere of Engel-Prozessionen, which he conducted at the Amsterdam Concertgebouw with the Netherlands Radio Choir. In 2011, he conducted the same work as part of Cologne Opera's production of the opera, Sonntag aus Licht. <mask>'s increasing activity in mainland Europe eventually led, in 2007, to his decision to leave England for Germany. Since then <mask> has continued to work regularly with choirs and ensembles throughout Europe, notably the Netherlands Radio Choir, musikFabik, Berlin Radio Choir, RIAS Kammerchor and the MDR Rundfunkchor in Leipzig, as well as remaining prolific as a composer. Notable performances include Luigi Nono’s Caminantes Ayacucho with the Netherlands Radio Choir and Netherlands Radio Chamber Philharmonic Orchestra at the 2008 Holland Festival; his training of the Vienna State Opera Chorus for Nono’s Al gran sole carico d’amore at the 2009 Salzburg Festival, conducted by Ingo Metzmacher; the first ever performance with live pianolist (Rex Lawson) of Theo Verbey’s completion of Stravinsky’s 1919 version Les Noces with musikFabrik and RIAS Kammerchor at the Berlin Philharmonie in 2013; and the German premiere of <mask>'s own Tongues of Fire (for large chorus and percussion quartet) with the MDR Rundfunkchor in Leipzig in November 2014. From 2008 until 2011, he undertook the reconstruction of the two missing voices of the Sacrae Cantiones Liber Secundus of the sixteenth-century Italian composer, Carlo Gesualdo.This massive undertaking culminated in his recording of the complete set with Vocalconsort Berlin for Harmonia Mundi. Released in February 2013, the recording went on to receive universal critical acclaim, and was awarded the ECHO Klassik Preis in the category ‘Choir Recording of the Year’ in October 2013. Following a joint commission from the Dutch Ensemble, Insomnio, the Stichting De Vrede van Utrecht and the Eduard Van Beinum Stichting, <mask> then undertook a collaboration with the writer, Paul Griffiths and the director, Sybille Wilson on the opera, Gulliver, based on Gulliver’s Travels by Jonathan Swift – a project which lasted three years, from 2011 until 2014. At the same time he completed several new works for percussion, including a 35-minute work for percussion ensemble, Cloud-Polyphonies, commissioned by a consortium of American Universities headed by Michael Rosen. Since 2008 <mask> has directed the Tenso Young Composers Workshops, designed to help and encourage young composers from all over Europe in composing for chamber choir. Awards and Honours

<mask> (1 October 1935 – 12 January 2020) was an Italian journalist-commentator and, especially during his later years, a prolific author of books and essays. Much of his writing was rooted in recent or contemporary history, notably with regard to the antifascist resistance of the Mussolini years. Biography

Provenance and early years
<mask> was born and grew up at Casale Monferrato, an ancient but at that time still flourishing industrial town down-river to the east of Turin, in the Province of Alessandria. His father Ernesto had grown up in poverty, the fifth of his parents' six children. Since <mask> had been the last of the children to leave home and marry, it was to his home that the widowed grandmother had moved when the children were off her hands. The young <mask> grew up with a close relationship to his grandmother, born Caterina Zaffiro in 1869 in the little village of Caresana, across the river to the north. The Pansas had been casual farm workers, but had transferred to industrial work a generation earlier.As <mask> grew up there were three obvious career options on the horizon. Work in the local Marl quarries was the least appealing. Another possibility would have been a job at one of the many cement factories in the town. The third, and as it seemed at the time "cleanest", option would have involved following his father's example and working at the Eternit asbestos plant. He attended school locally at the "Istituto Balbo" (secondary school), where he received a "classical education", opening the way for university admission and a chance to move away. Graduating from school with top marks, complemented by a "cum laude" commendation for his school final exams, <mask> enrolled at the University of Turin, where he studied for a degree in political sciences. One of his teachers at the university was Alessandro Galante Garrone:  it was Garrone who encouraged him to study the history of the Second World War and of the Italian Resistance.He completed his university studies on 16 July 1959 with a degree in Political Sciences, received in return for a dissertation on "The Resistance in the Province of Alessandria (1943–1945)". The work was supervised by Guido Quazza. An expanded version appeared as a book in 1967, entitled for publication, "Guerra partigiana tra Genova e il Po" ("The Partisan War between Genoa and the Po"). His work on the wartime antifascist resistance also earned him the "Einaudi Prize", worth 500,000 lire and, of perhaps greater significance for his future career, drew him to the attention of the power-brokers at the prestigious Turin-based daily newspaper, La Stampa. Daily newspaper journalist
In 1961 <mask> <mask> joined La Stampa. Between 1961 and 1991 he worked for a succession of nationally distributed newspapers. In the end he contributed, at different stages, to all Italy's' leading papers.1961–1964, La Stampa:  He undertook a traineeship at La Stampa, then under the directorship of Giulio De Benedetti, between January 1961 and June 1962. He then stayed on for another two years. Some of his most memorable contributions during this period concerned the Vajont disaster. 1964–1968, Il Giorno:  With the Milan-based paper under the directorship of Italo Pietra, <mask> reported on events in the Lombardy region. 1969–1972, La Stampa:  <mask> then returned to La Stampa shortly after Alberto Ronchey took over as director of the newspaper, providing memorable reports on the Piazza Fontana bombing in Milan. 1972–1973, Il Messaggero:  Leaving his northern home-base, he moved to Il Messaggero in Rome where he served as Editor-in-chief under the directorship of Alessandro Perrone, who during the previous five years had pioneered the application of computer graphics and other technological innovations that made Messaggero a uniquely influential newspaper-technology benchmark for Italy. Under <mask>, in charge of a mass-circulation Rome-based daily at a time of growing terrorism and anarchism on the streets, the paper retained it moderate centre-left editorial position that was only slightly to the left of the country's ruling establishment.In the editorial office, however, he inherited a fractious team that took a lead from the acutely quarrelsome relationship between Director Perrone and his cousin Ferdinando Perrone, another major shareholder and a constant presence in the offices. <mask>'s editorship came to an end after Messaggero was sold to Montedison in May 1974. 1973–1977, Corriere della Sera:   At the start of July 1973 <mask> joined Corriere della Sera in Genoa, then under the directorship of Piero Ottone, seen by commentators of the time as representative of a younger "more dynamic" generation of newspaper directors. Employed as a "special correspondent", <mask> used his time at Corriere to burnish his credentials as an investigative journalist, notably through a series of pieces produced in partnership with his friend Gaetano Scardocchia, which contributed to the uncovering of the Lockheed scandals. 1977–1991, la Repubblica:   <mask> joined la Repubblica in November 1977. Launched the previous year as Italy's first mass-circulation tabloid newspaper, Repubblica was still under the energetic yet thoughtful control of its co-founder and long-standing director cum editor-in-chief, the "political heavy-weight" Eugenio Scalfari. <mask> joined as a "special correspondent", and in October 1978 accepted a complementary position as the paper's deputy director.Scalfari and Pansa formed an effective partnership in guiding Repubblica through a difficult period of intensified political instability and street terrorism, from which Italy's first serious tabloid emerged with its reputation enhanced and a growing readership which made it, in 1988, the country's top newspaper, with circulation at 730,000 copies. He left in 1991 to pursue other interests, but in 2000 returned to la Repubblica as a regular contributing editor. Weekly journalist-commentator
In parallel with his newspaper work, during the 1980s <mask> also worked on a regular basis for several of weekly news magazines. 1983–1984, Epoca:  He created the "Quaderno italiano" (loosely, "Italian notebook") column on Epoca, which at the time when he joined the magazine was under the directorship of Sandro Mayer. 1984–1987, L'Espresso:  He joined Giovanni Valentini's L'Espresso in 1984 and created the well-received "Chi sale e chi scende" (loosely, "Who's on the up and who's on the down") column. 1987–1990, Panorama:  <mask> moved to the Milan-based news magazine, Panorama in 1987, further raising his profile as an unmissable columnist with the magazine through his "Bestiario" ("Bestiary") column. Then as now, Panorama was produced under the aegis of the Arnoldo Mondadori Editore (publishing conglomerate), having originally been launched by Arnoldo Mondadori himself back in 1939.Since 1985 it had operated under the directorship of Claudio Rinaldi. During his time there, <mask> <mask> became a co-director of Panorama. His "Bestiario" column built on his reputation for exposing "national malpractice", without descending into hypocrisy. 1991–2008, L'Espresso:   When he returned to L'Espresso in 1991 he was able to bring his "Bestiario" column with him. At the same time Giovanni Valentini moved over to la Repubblica and Giulio Anselmi took over as the director of L'Espresso. Meanwhile, <mask> <mask> was installed as co-director. When Anselmi also moved back to the world of daily newspapers, Daniela Hamaui became the magazine's director, while <mask> remained in place as co-director till 2008, the year of his 73rd birthday.According to <mask>, Espresso Director Hamui reacted to his decision to "retire" by screaming throughout the day on which he told her of his decision, "Why do you go away? Why? ", following through, after he had left his desk, with a series of angry telephone calls and e-mails. Perspective
Through <mask>'s career as a journalist, publications produced by the press conglomerate known today as GEDI Gruppo Editoriale predominated. He worked without any significant break, between 1977 and 2008, for two of the group's most successful titles, la Repubblica and then L'Espresso. During his years on la Repubblica his political perspective generally reflected that of the centre-left parties, which for most of the period meant that he would be supportive of the Socialist Party and others representative of opposition to the government in the Chamber of Deputies. He was never slow to criticise the Communist Party – widely perceived by opponents as being "too close to Moscow" – through his political investigations and commentaries, however.His political perspectives were also on display in a book he published under the title "La Repubblica di Barbapapà. Storia irriverente di un potere invisibile" ("The Republic of Daddy Beard. Irreverent history of an invisible power"). By the time the book appeared, in 2014, <mask> had become critical of "Barbapapà's" approach. In his biography <mask> presents a case for the creator of Repubblica demonstrating political bias and, on occasion, heightened self-regard; but he also pays tribute to the sheer genius and total dedication to work which he sees as among of his old boss's formidable array of qualities. A skilful political reporter, <mask> is considered a leading light among journalists of the Italian "first" republic. He was an attentive observer of facts and of personalities, always among the first to arrive in the press gallery at party political conferences which he attended assiduously, armed with his notebook and opera glasses.Career highlights
After the Piazza Fontana bombing, <mask> created a valuable "counterinformation" dossier which helped to identify untruths supplied by the authorities in connection with the aftermath of the bomb massacre. He nevertheless refused to join in with the more virulent aspects of the campaign that ensued:  he refused, for example, to be join the 757 politicians, journalists and "intellectuals" who signed the angry Open letter of June 1971, targeting (the

 subsequently assassinated) Police Commissioner Calabresi following the (never explained) death of the alleged bomb suspect Giuseppe Pinelli while detained police custody and the associated cover-up. <mask> was also among the first of the habitually left-wing journalists to assert without qualification, in response to the terrorism of the 1970s and 1980s that, as he put it, "the Red Brigades were red" – as in genuinely left-wing killers and not, as many with longer memories had assumed, fascist revivalists trying discredit the political left by allowing the Red Brigades to be blamed for atrocities committed by others. <mask>'s early and persistent rejection of this widely shared conspiracy theory served to discredit him in the eyes of many "progressive intellectuals". His dogged and revealing investigations of the Red Brigades led to his being targeted, along with his friend and colleague Walter Tobagi. As matters turned out, however, it was Tobagi who was gunned down on a Milan street rather than Pansa. <mask> also becqme known as an enthusiastic creator of neologisms and sarcastic "definitions", frequently untranslatable, and generally involving politicians and political parties.He cast Fausto Bertinotti as  "il parolaio rosso" (loosely, the "Red Word") while he identified Italy's Christian Democratic Party as the "White Whale", a literary allusion referencing the party's ability to survive a thousand battles. He described the irrepressible loyalists surrounding the politician Clemente Mastella as "truppe mastellate" ("mastellated troops"), in a conscious echo of the term "truppe cammellate" ("camel-mounted troops"). The Communist Party was the "red elephant" while the right-wing politician Arnaldo Forlani was "the were rabbit". Nor should it be thought that <mask> always spared his fellow journalists:  in 1980 he published as article in la Repubblica under the headline "Il giornalista dimezzato" (loosely, "journalism trashed"), in which he castigated the conduct, which he found hypocritical, of colleagues who in his words, "surrendered half of their own professionalism to the party". Retirement? Reports of <mask>'s retirement from L'Espresso on 30 September 2008 tend to explain the development not by pointing out that the move came the day before his seventy-third birthday, but by quoting his own justification that he found himself opposed to the magazine's editorial line. While it is true that during his final twelve year <mask> <mask> found more time to publish novels and historical essays, he still contributed to political magazines and newspapers, principally as listed below:
  2008–2010, Il Riformista, Rome
  2009–2016, Libero, Milan:  here he took the opportunity, in 2011, to reintroduce his "Bestiario" column.2016–2018, La Verità, Milan
  2018–2019, Panorama, Milan
  2019–2020, The Post Internazionale, Rome (online)

He later attributed his decision to leave La Verità in 2018 to what he saw as the paper's "Northern League" drift, while insisting that he had himself always enjoyed complete freedom from the editor to write what he wished. Novels and historical essays
The focus to which <mask> would return most frequently in his books and essays was on the wartime resistance, the topic that he had studied for his university degree. In "Le notti dei fuochi" ("Nights of fire"), published in 2001, <mask> explored the critical period between 1919 and 1922, covering the birth of the Squadrismo movement, Mussolini's March on Rome and the inauguration of Fascism. He followed through, in 2002, with "I figli dell'Aquila" ("Children of the eagle"), the story of a volunteer soldier in the army of the so-called "Italian Social Republic ("Repubblica Sociale Italiana"). Then came the "Blood of the vanquished" cycle, a short series of books on the violence committed by partisans against fascists during and after the war. Despite appearing more than half a century after the events described, there was an element of uneasy shock discernible beneath even in the positive critical reaction which came primarily from representatives of mainstream intellectual centre-left. <mask> had turned for his sources to authorities such as Giorgio Pisanò as Antonio Serena:  there were also many personal stories from those who might be identified, in terms of the series title, as the "vanquished".Pansa's historiographical approach with the six volume cycle was in aggregate unconventional, described by one source as a mixture of "historical novel", serious "Feuilleton commentary" and political polemic. Its overall style and structure were more recently analysed in some depth by Nicola Gallerano. In 2011 the publication of "Poco o niente. Eravamo poveri. Torneremo poveri" ("Little or nothing. We were poor. We will always be poor") marked an abrupt change.The book was a portrait of the poor in northern Italy at the cusp of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. It was the story of <mask>'s grandmother and of his own parents. Controversy over the "Blood of the vanquished" cycle
As the first volume in the Blood of the vanquished ("Il sangue dei vinti") cycle became more widely read, <mask> found himself in receipt of mounting criticism. There were complaints that he had tarnished the still iconic narrative of the wartime resistance, and that he had been motivated not by virtuous idealism, but by the lure of personal economic gain. The attacks came from many sides:  Giorgio Bocca, a long-standing antagonist among <mask>'s fellow journalists, was particularly withering with his references to "[journalist]-skinheads of the left". There were allegations that Blood of the vanquished represented little more than a device intended to attract further editorial commissions from the Berlusconi media empire, while others asserted that the author had merely recycled and embellished incidents and events that had already been identified and recorded by others. Other detractors said that almost all the sources he had used were revisionist ones representing only the fascist viewpoint.That was one accusation that <mask> always rejected with particular vigour, insisting that he had used sources from across the political spectrum and shed new light on a part of history that deserved to be better known than it was. He had certainly done nothing to detract from the meritoriousness and importance of wartime antifascist resistance. He pointed to the various descriptions included of atrocities committed by certain fascist fighters against resistance partisans before being killed themselves. Not all the critics were persuaded. There are reports of book launches at which <mask> found himself engaged in savage discussions about his Blood of the vanquished cycle, not just with members of the far-left but also by "academics" who charged him with the crime of "revisionism". At one event in Reggio Emilia, attended by angry groups both from the left of the arguments and from the right, fighting broke out. The episode came to the attention of President Giorgio Napolitano and Senate President Franco Marini, who condemned "the attack on Gaimpaolo <mask>" and "deplored the violence suffered":  "We cannot accept what happened – in this case serious – to an intellectual who produces a work of historical reflection which I believe is worthwhile ... of course some share the opinions and some refute them, but  there must be freedom for all works of history and literature".There were also more thoughtful or nuanced, reactions such as that of Ernesto Galli della Loggia, who reacted positively to <mask>'s contributions, but still wondered in print what it said about the Italians that people were generally content to ignore many historical crimes for years on end, only taking an interest and providing opinions when a high-profile intellectual from the political left, such as <mask> <mask>, placed some such matters on the public agenda. Even the historian Sergio Luzzatto, whose initial bemusement over Blood of the vanquished had translated into a harsh negativity, later came round to an acceptance that the series contained "nothing made up" and demonstrated a reassuring "respect for history". Italian journalist Massimo Fini reviewd <mask>'s work positively, but criticized him for relying too heavily on the History of the Civil War in Italy, a 3-volume history of the Italian Civil War published by fascist essayist Giorgio Pisanò in 1966. Death
During his final years <mask> lived with his wife at San Casciano, a small town in the hills beyond Siena. It is at San Casciano that his physical remains were interred following a funerary mass attended by townsfolk and journalist colleagues on 14 January 2020. He had died in Rome on 12 January 2020 after several months of suffering with serious Colitis. Personal
<mask> <mask> married firstly, in 1960, Lidia "Lillina" Casalone from Mortara.The marriage was followed by the birth, in 1962, of the couple's son, Alessandro. In 1993 <mask> also acquired a nephew called Giacomo through his marriage to "Lillina". <mask> <mask> married secondly Adele Grisendi, a party member originally from Montecchio Emilia (RE). They lived as a "de facto couple" between 1989 and 2020, latterly in Tuscany. Adele Grisendi is a writer and former trades union organiser who for many years worked in a top position with the CGIL. She describes herself as a passionate Juventus supporter. She contributed extensively to the "Blood of the vanquished" cycle.They met, originally, on 23 November 1989, when she cautiously approached him and asked a question – probably about politics – as they found themselves travelling together on the train from Rome to Florence. They moved in together a couple of months later. Notes

<mask> (born 29 January 1943) is a former Australian rules footballer who played for  and  in the Victorian Football League (VFL) during the 1960s and 1970s. Early years and football career
<mask> was born and raised in Ross Creek, Victoria, a country town near Ballarat. He and his twin brother, Basil, were two of a large family consisting of nine children (seven boys and two girls) to parents William and <mask>. Tuddenham's upbringing was typical of country footballers who came from farming families. Before and after school and during weekends, he had to help with various farm chores. Sport, usually football or cricket, was played on Saturday, and the family attended church on Sundays. The daily grind of farm work helped to strengthen Tuddenham's shoulders and arms, and a fanatical attitude to fitness hardened his body.<mask> played cricket with five of his brothers for Ross Creek, and football for the Young Christian Worker's club in Ballarat. In the space of three seasons he went from the Under-14s to the Under-19s side, and won the league's best and fairest trophy at 16. Tuddenham attracted the attention of several VFL clubs. He made his VFL debut in 1962 against  at Arden Street Oval. His brand of football was fearless and tough, with a habit of grasping the football to his chest with his elbows sticking out dangerously. In recognition of his toughness and skills, <mask> was appointed Collingwood captain in 1966. In the semi-final against , he kicked seven goals on Daryl Griffiths in a tense 10-point win to advance to the grand final.But St Kilda reversed the result two weeks later to take out the 1966 VFL Grand Final by one point, winning their first and only premiership so far. Collingwood were eliminated from the 1967 finals by eventual runner-up  in the first semi-final. The Magpies trailed by one point at three-quarter time, but the Cats kicked six goals to one in the final quarter to win by 30 points. <mask> was reported for striking Geelong defender Geoff Ainsworth on the head with his forearm in the last quarter by field umpire Jeff Crouch. He was found guilty and suspended for four matches. In February 1970, <mask> and his deputy Len Thompson were involved in a pay dispute after they learned that Collingwood had recruited its first interstate player, Peter Eakins, from Western Australian club  for a sign-on fee of A$5,000 and A$5,000 a season for three years. That was A$2,000 more than <mask> was receiving as captain.<mask> asked for A$8,000 over three seasons, and Thompson A$30,000 over five seasons, threatening to walk out if their demands were not met. Three weeks later, during which time there had been no negotiations, both players returned. Although their demands had not been met they did obtain a slightly improved salary; under the clubs terms, <mask> would receive A$125 per match plus VFL provident fund payments, and Thompson would earn A$105 per match. Although <mask> was confident the little episode would not affect his chances of retaining the captaincy, the Magpies committee announced Terry Waters as captain for the 1970 VFL season and Tuddenham accepted the decision. Collingwood finished on top of the ladder with 18 wins and defeated arch-rivals  in a semi-final by 10 points to advance to the grand final. However, as had happened four years earlier against St Kilda, Carlton would reverse the result in the 1970 VFL Grand Final, coming from 44 points down at half-time to overrun Collingwood in the second half. Tuddenham was regarded among Collingwood's best players on the day.During the game he accidentally floored teammate Peter McKenna in the second quarter with a hip-and-shoulder bump meant for a Carlton player. McKenna had kicked five goals up to that stage of the game and would only add one more for the rest of the match. In an interview 40 years later, <mask> cited a lack of fitness, as well as inaccurate kicking for goal, as the main reason Collingwood lost: "I suggested to (coach) Bob Rose after we lost the 1966 Grand Final to St Kilda by a point that he do the coaching and I look after the fitness along with my friend John Toleman. The idea was that I would be an assistant coach, and I'll tell you what, I would have got the buggers fit." In 1971, <mask> became the first player to be named captain of the VFL representative team whilst not captain of his own club. When asked about this, state coach Tom Hafey replied bluntly: "We are not here to talk about Collingwood's mistakes." He stayed with the club for a further season before moving to  as captain-coach.He played four seasons for the Bombers before returning to Collingwood for his final two seasons. In 1978 he was the senior coach of South Melbourne for a season, replaced by Ian Stewart when he failed to take the club to the finals. He coached VFA second division club Werribee to the finals in 1988, but left after he and the club concluded a playing coach would be better suited to the club's needs. Life after football
<mask> ran a plastics manufacturing business, which he sold in 1979. He later worked as a scrap-metal dealer. Tuddenham had four children. One of them, Paul, played 40 games for  from 1987 to 1991.Since retirement, <mask> has been in trouble with the law on several occasions. In December 1980, he was found guilty by a County Court jury of having received stolen tyres valued at $30,000 and was remanded in custody. In June 1989, he pleaded guilty to a charge of conspiring to defraud the Victorian Automobile Chamber of Commerce of $13,000. He told the magistrate that he was "guilty on the grounds I was helping out a friend in trouble". In July 2004, it was reported that he had received a two-month sentence suspended for two years for his third drink-driving offence. He was ordered to pay a A$500 fine and had his driving licence cancelled for 30 months. In December 2017, he pleaded guilty and was convicted of drink driving, having been found to have a blood alcohol level of 0.055 after drinking "three beers" at a football function.<mask> was inducted into the Australian Football Hall of Fame in 2008. In 2009 The Australian nominated Tuddenham as one of the 25 greatest footballers never to win a Brownlow medal. References

<mask> III (December 16, 1951 – August 16, 1992) was an American record producer, folk rock singer, and songwriter originally from Macon, Georgia, United States. <mask> released 16 albums, and produced and performed with many other artists as well, such as Sam Phillips (a.k.a. Leslie Phillips), Pierce Pettis, Phil Keaggy, Vigilantes of Love, Peter Buck of R.E.M. (who co-produced VOL's album Killing Floor with <mask>), John Austin, The Choir, Randy Stonehill and Michael Been of The Call. <mask> produced part of Olivia Newton-John's The Rumor, which also included a cover of <mask>'s own "Big and Strong" (originally called "How to Grow Up Big and Strong"). History
After graduating from the University of Georgia in 1974 with an ABJ (bachelor of arts in journalism) degree in television, <mask> traveled to Switzerland to study at L'Abri under the influential evangelical Christian philosopher Francis Schaeffer. Singers Larry Norman and Randy Stonehill stumbled onto <mask> one day playing his guitar.Because Norman and Stonehill expressed interest, <mask> spent most of his spare time the next two months putting together a demo tape in a local studio with the help of the Pat Terry group (Pat Terry, Sonny Lallerstedt, and Randy Bugg). Norman was so impressed by <mask>'s abilities that he soon signed him to his record label, Solid Rock Records. <mask> and his wife Janet moved to Glendale, California in 1977 to begin work on his Appalachian Melody album for the label, but would also maintain a close relationship with the people at the L'Abri for years. <mask> would also record and release Fingerprint on a Swiss label in 1980. In 1981, <mask> began a recording contract with Chris Christian's Home Sweet Home Records. Although <mask>'s sales did not attract attention from the major Christian labels, Christian felt <mask>'s music was unique and fresh and deserved to be heard and funded his projects with no production oversight, which is what <mask> wanted. His signing to the label was a departure from the commercial artists that Chris traditionally signed and produced on the Home Sweet Home label.<mask> released five albums for the label; 1981's Stop the Dominoes, 1982's Victims of the Age; 1983's Eye of the Storm; 1984's Ashes and Light; and 1985's Mosaics. The overall experience was not one that <mask> enjoyed, partly due to his personal experiences with record company executives, and partly due to compromises he felt under pressure to make himself and his songs more marketable to Christian audiences. In 1984, <mask> began recording in his home studio, which he dubbed "Fingerprint Recorders", after the title of one of his earlier records. From that point on, his albums were largely made at home, with just a handful of friends and relatives lending a hand. In 1986, <mask> decided to try something a little different and recorded the experimental Pop/Rock album for What? Records entitled Tribal Opera, under the name iDEoLA. When asked about the unusual name, <mask> replied "It's not supposed to be mysterious or anything; I just put a band together and right now I happen to be the only one in it."<mask> also directed a music video for the single of that album, "Is It Any Wonder". With assistance from Dan Russell and Chuck Long, Fingerprint Records and studio were born. <mask> began to produce albums for a number of artists including two albums for Randy Stonehill, Jacob's Trouble, Pierce Pettis and 1992's Vigilantes of Love album, Killing Floor, which he co-produced with R.E.M. 's Peter Buck. Stonehill's Until We Have Wings includes a song co-written by <mask>, "Faithful", although the CD liner notes credit the song to <mask>'s pseudonym, Giovanni Audiori. In 1988 <mask> collaborated with Randy Stonehill and other well known artists on Phil Keaggy and Sunday's Child. In addition to writing and performing credits, he helped with the engineering.The early 1990s saw a return to recording albums of his own, with 1990's Dry Bones Dance. Fans and reviewers alike hailed the new release as one of the best of his career. <mask> followed Dry Bones Dance with Second Hand in 1991, and, finally, Satellite Sky in 1992, which would turn out to be his final release. On July 4, 1992, <mask> had a heart attack on stage while performing with Pierce Pettis and Kate Miner, at the Cornerstone Festival in Bushnell, IL, near Peoria. <mask> finished his set and went to the hospital immediately afterwards. Two weeks after being released from the hospital, <mask> went into cardiac arrest and died on August 16, 1992. Before <mask>'s death, he had been included on the Legacy II sampler from Windham Hill's High Street label, and was nearly finalizing a mainstream contract with Bruce Cockburn's label, True North Records in Canada.There was also interest from Sony's Columbia Records label for distribution in the US. Tributes and influence
In 1993, Rich Mullins covered "How to Grow Up Big and Strong" on his A Liturgy, a Legacy, & a Ragamuffin Band. In 1994, many artists came together to record a tribute album called Strong Hand of Love. Artists lending their talents to the project included Phil Keaggy, Victoria Williams, Chagall Guevara, Buddy Miller, Julie Miller, Daniel Amos, The Choir, Bruce Cockburn, and the Vigilantes of Love. The project was later reissued as a two-CD set with additional tracks and retitled Orphans of God. Cockburn frequently calls <mask> his favorite songwriter and even wrote and recorded a song dedicated to <mask> for his Dart to the Heart album, "Closer to the Light." Daniel Amos dedicated their album MotorCycle to <mask> in 1993, and The Swirling Eddies dedicated Zoom Daddy to <mask> the same year.Julie Miller also wrote a song in tribute to <mask> called "All My Tears" which has also been recorded by Jars of Clay, Emmylou Harris (studio and live versions) and Selah with Kim Hill. In 2000, a group of fans gathered together to help Fingerprint Records release Mystery Mind, the first collection of previously unreleased material from the songwriter. There were plans to release a full length collection that same year, but those plans never came to fruition. In 2002, the Cornerstone Music Festival held a songwriting contest in honor of <mask>. The following year, Paste Magazine released Hammers and Nails, a CD of previously unreleased recordings by <mask>. An authorized biography of the same name was also released by Cornerstone Press, written by Matthew T. Dickerson. The Americana Music Association held its annual Americana Music Honors & Awards at the Ryman Auditorium in Nashville, Tennessee, September 2005.The Song of the Year Award was presented to <mask> for "Worry Too Much" (originally featured on Second Hand). Buddy Miller, who performed the track on Universal United House of Prayer, accepted the award on behalf of <mask>. Miller also received the award for Album of the Year for Universal United House of Prayer. In Paste Magazine No. June 22/July 2006 – a Special Collector's Issue featuring the 100 Best Living Songwriters – <mask> was remembered as well under the heading Wish You Were Here: "<mask>'s lyrics are weighted with such a wry longing that they'll forever reflect a fresh turbulence." Pierce Pettis and Ralston Bowles have covered a song by <mask> on each of their albums released since <mask>'s death. In 2017, an 18-song retrospective, <mask>: Treasure of the Broken Land, was released.It focuses on <mask>'s last three albums and features Rodney Crowell, Buddy Miller, Over the Rhine and others. Produced by Phil Madeira, a member of Emmylou Harris' backing band Red Dirt Boys, the album received notable attention from Rolling Stone Magazine and other mainstream magazines like premier Americana music magazine No Depression.

Born and raised in Scotland, <mask> represented his nation of birth at international youth levels before switching to Canada in 2016. Club career

Falkirk
Arfield came up through the Falkirk Youth Academy and earned promotion to the first team squad. He made his Falkirk debut on 4 August 2007, in their 4–0 win away at Gretna on the opening day of the 2007–08 season. His first goal came in Falkirk's 4–2 defeat at Inverness Caledonian Thistle. He then scored twice in a 4–0 win over St Mirren.He won the Scottish Premier League Young Player of the Month award for December 2007. <mask> signed a new five-year contract with Falkirk in February 2008.

He was in the Falkirk side that were Scottish Cup runners-up, losing 1–0 to Rangers in the Final at Hampden Park. <mask> scored 10 goals in the 2008–09 season, seven of them coming in the league. He was given the number 10 jersey, previously worn by Steven Pressley, for the 2009–10 season.Hamilton Academical offered £100,000 for <mask> in August 2009, but this was rejected by Falkirk, who commented that they "thought they had missed out a zero in the figure they offered". Arfield's first appearance of the 2009–10 season came in a 1–0 home win over FC Vaduz in the UEFA Europa League, the club's first ever match in European competition. He finished the season with three goals from 36 appearances as the club were relegated from the SPL. Speculation began to grow that <mask> was to leave Falkirk following their relegation from the SPL. On 17 May 2010, it was confirmed that Arfield was having talks with Huddersfield Town and was to have a medical at the club. Falkirk had already turned down offers from Hamilton Academical, Hibernian, Hearts and Southampton. <mask> left Falkirk after playing 108 games, scoring 13 times between 2007 and 2010.He made his last appearance for Falkirk in the 0–0 draw with Kilmarnock that confirmed relegation on the last day of the season. Huddersfield Town
On 21 May 2010, it was reported that <mask> had signed for Huddersfield Town for a reported fee initially in the region of £400,000 but potentially rising to over £600,000 after a certain number of appearances. The move was confirmed three days later, after the club and the player had agreed personal terms. He made his Huddersfield debut in the 3–0 win over Notts County at Meadow Lane on 7 August 2010.

Arfield selected the number 37 shirt in memory of fellow Falkirk youth player Craig Gowans, who wore the same squad number when he was tragically killed in a training ground accident in 2005. He scored his first professional goal for Burnley on 6 August 2013, in a 4–0 win against York City in the League Cup. Arfield scored 9 goals in 49 competitive appearances for Burnley during the 2013–14 season.
