pianist but not for a singer: a dry throat is the end as far as singing is concerned. But we persevered nonetheless. It wasn't easy for me. Gould began by improvising something Straussian—we thought he was simply warming up, but no, he continued to play like that throughout the actual recordings, as though Strauss's notes were just a pretext that allowed him to improvise freely...." Radio documentaries As the result of Gould's association with CBC Records, he made numerous television and radio programs for CBC Television and CBC Radio. Notable productions include his music-concrète Solitude Trilogy, which consists of The Idea of North, a meditation on Northern Canada and its people, The Latecomers about Newfoundland, and The Quiet in the Land, about Mennonites in Manitoba. All three use a radiophonic electronic-music technique that Gould called contrapuntal radio, in which several people are heard speaking at once—much like the voices in a fugue—manipulated through the use of tape. Gould's experience of driving across northern Ontario while listening to Top 40 radio in 1967 provided the inspiration for one of his most unusual CBC radio pieces, The Search for Petula Clark, a witty and eloquent dissertation on the recordings of the renowned British pop singer, who was then at the peak of her international success Arrangements, compositions, and conducting Gould was not only a composer, but also a prolific arranger of orchestral repertoire for piano. His arrangements include his recorded Wagner and Ravel transcriptions, as well as the operas of Richard Strauss and the symphonies of Schubert and Bruckner, which he played privately for pleasure. As a teenager, Gould wrote chamber music and piano works in the style of the Second Viennese school of composition. His only significant work was the String Quartet, Op. 1, which he finished when he was in his 20s, and perhaps his cadenzas to Beethoven's Piano Concerto No. 1. Later works include the Lieberson Madrigal (SATB and piano), and So You Want to Write a Fugue? (SATB with piano or string quartet accompaniment). The majority of his work is published by Schott Music. The recording Glenn Gould: The Composer contains his original works. His String Quartet Op. 1 (published in 1956 and recorded in 1960) had a mixed reception from critics. For example, the notices from the Christian Science Monitor and The Saturday Review were quite laudatory, while the response from the Montreal Star was less so. There is little critical commentary on Gould's compositional work for the simple reason that there are few compositions; he did not proceed beyond Opus 1, leaving many compositions unfinished. He attributed his failure as a composer to his lack of a "personal voice". See List of compositions by Glenn Gould for a complete list of works. Towards the end of his life, Gould began conducting. He had earlier directed Bach's Brandenburg Concerto No. 5 and the cantata Widerstehe doch der Sünde from the harpsipiano (a

piece is an abstract triptych that I found while I was in Atlanta buying religious paintings The piece was called Guardian Angel and I love it My patrons fell in love with it as well They have asked me to track down the artist and see if he has anymore religious paintings available The only religious paintings that I actually do not buy are ones that reflect the image of Jesus on the cross I don’t have a problem with them some of them are extremely well done and would more than likely sell well but my investors made it very clear when they financed the gallery that I would not put that image into it PPPPP 683 Ajello Candles The motto of the Ajello Candle Company is “It’s better to light a candle than to curse the darkness” This candle making company has been in business since 1775 The business has been family owned for seven generations The candles from Ajello’s are well known for their beauty and quality While they make more candles now than in 1775 their dedication to quality and to customers has never changed The Ajello Candle Company was founded by Rafael Ajello an Italian painter He was also a beekeeper so he tried his hand at using bees wax to create candles He worked hard to create a formula that worked well The formula combined with his outstanding artistic ability lead to the birth of the Ajello Candle Company In 1785 the company earned the honor of creating all the candles for the Vatican He and his wife ran the business keeping their children involved in the processes from an early age As time went on their children and grandchildren kept the business running as well as passed the family business on to their children By 1862 the company had established itself as a leader among the candle making industry They had also added perfumes and many .
