‘The Rome Pro(G)ject’ is a musical walk through the history and the places, the greatness and the beauty of the Eternal City. Some of the most important names of the Progressive Rock scene comment and celebrate in music the greatness and the beauty of Rome in the special event of the 2765th Anniversary of its foundation. Essential for fans of Mellotron driven GENESIS, any Nick Magnus or P.F.M. symphonic epics, and powerful Steve Hackett Band.

Gothic Voices, the world-famous early music ensemble, makes its Linn debut with a recording celebrating the biblical matriarch Mary. Pieces from contemporary composers Joanne Metcalf and Andrew Smith sit alongside settings of Marian texts from the 13th and 14th centuries. Notably, there is a rare setting of English biblical text which precedes the first publication of an English language bible by 150 years. Mary in her various guises - caring mother, virgin lover, guiding light - are explored through settings of ancient ritualistic texts showing her mythical and human aspects, whilst contemporary settings relate the themes to the modern day. The contemporary works are cleverly constructed around a modal core so that they fit perfectly with the structure and sound of the early music compositions. With over thirty years experience Gothic Voices' complete understanding of every aspect of early music performance is exceptional.

Introduction to conjugacy problems for difieomorphisms. This is a survey article on the area of global analysis defined by differentiable dynamical systems or equivalently the action (differentiable) of a Lie group G on a manifold M. An action is a homomorphism G-Diff(M) such that the induced map GXM-M is differentiable. Here Diff(M) is the group of all diffeomorphisms of M and a diffeomorphism is a differentiable map with a differentiable inverse. Everything will be discussed here from the C«> or C" point of view. All manifolds maps, etc. will be differentiable (Cr, 1;;:; r ~ 00) unless stated otherwise.
