The Wind, the Fountain and the Fire: Scripture and the Renewal of the Christian Imagination: The 2020 Lent Book eBooks & eLearning

Posted by First1 at Dec. 19, 2019

Scripture, and especially the Book of Psalms, has always formed the substance of the daily prayer of Christian monks and nuns. Monastic men and women spend more time among the scriptures each day than in most other activities. How do such regular interactions with the texts of Old and New Testaments help us renew our Christian imaginations; how might these reflective encounters enable all of us to discover the wind of the Spirit, the fountain of living water and the fire from which God speaks, within the printed pages of our Bibles?

The Crusaders - Free As The Wind (SHM-CD) (1977/2023) Music

There's a terrific reason why the triple-CD Crusaders retrospective The Golden Years included six of Free as the Wind's eight tracks – the material. Indeed, side one of the LP version may be the strongest single side of original tunes that the band ever put together. It opens with Joe Sample's driving, tense title cut, and flows flawlessly through Stix Hooper's subtly funky "I Felt the Love," Pops Popswell's infectiously finger-popping "The Way We Was" (a high point in the Crusaders' groove collection), and Larry Carlton's steamy vehicle for Wilton Felder, "Nite Crawler." Even the two tracks that the box set left out – the galvanic "Feel It," driven by Sample's clavinet and Hooper's tom-toms, and "River Rat" – are as funky as you can stand it. And from out of the blue, Sample concludes the album with a lovely, wistful tune that may have become a standard, "It Happens Everyday." When the material is this good, everything falls into place from there; the grooves are deeper, the soloing by all five Crusaders is more melodic and probing, and while Sample provides a few brass and string arrangements, this is just harmless decoration, neither a necessity nor a hindrance. This would be the Crusaders' high-water mark in the post-Wayne Henderson years, and it can stand tall with anything they've done.

Amadeus Winds, Christopher Hogwood - Mozart: The Wind Serenades (1998) Music

Amadeus Winds, Christopher Hogwood - Mozart: The Wind Serenades (1998)
WEB | FLAC (tracks) - 658 MB | 02:31:03
Genre: Classical | Label: Decca

The Amadeus Winds were the wind players from the Handel&Haydn Society (Boston) when Christopher Hogwood was Music Director. They haven't played together since this recording was made, so this is a one-of disc. Mozart wrote wonderfully for wind instruments. These divertimenti are played on period instruments and the sound is never forced or shrill. A delight for lovers of wind bands.

Wind turbines produce clean, renewable energy by converting the kinetic energy of the wind into electrical energy. This reduces dependence on fossil fuels such as coal, oil and natural gas, which contribute to air pollution and the greenhouse effect. Reducing greenhouse gas emissions: The use of wind energy helps reduce emissions of greenhouse gases, particularly carbon dioxide (CO2).

It would be hard to find more appealing treatments of Mozart's wind concertos than these from Christopher Hogwood and the Academy of Ancient Music, featuring a distinguished group of period-instrument soloists. Leading the way, and playing a deliciously mellow-sounding basset clarinet, Anthony Pay gives a splendid account of what is surely Mozart's most beautiful concerto, the Clarinet Concerto in A, K. 622. Pay's shadings are soft and natural, his embellishments simply marvelous, and he and Hogwood are right on the mark when it comes to tempo, expression, and accent.

Genre: Rock & Roll / Label:Castle Communications

This magnificent anthology currently serves humanity both as a tribute to record producer Joe Meek and as the unparalleled definitive history of the British pop/rock group known as the Tornados. Famous for their recording of Meek's peculiarly unforgettable space age instrumental that was inspired by and named after Telstar (the U.S.A.'s belated answer to the Soviet Union's Sputnik), the group was initially formed by Meek as a nameless backup band for a series of now nearly forgotten pop singers.
