  1. Rococo architecture in Portugal

    Architecture File Queluz Palace fountains.JPG thumb 300px Queluz Palace , Sintra . Rococo entered Portugal through the north, while Lisbon , due to the court pomp, remained in the Baroque. It s an architecture that follows the international taste in decoration, and, as a result of the contrast between dark granite and white walls, has a clearly Portuguese profile. The decoration is naturalist, based mainly in shells and leaves but also with architectural elements and sculpture. Pilgrimage places became fashionable, often built in places of rough prominence, allowing impressive staircases of big scenographic effect. Andr Soares worked in the region of Braga , and produced some of the main examples such as Falperra Sanctuary, Congregados Church, the Braga City Hall and Casa do Raio, among many others. The number of buildings and architects is large and, because the north of Portugal was spared from the ravages of the earthquake , there is a large number of buildings. In the south, as a result of the lower population density, the court taste and also of the consequence of the earthquake there are fewer rococo buildings. But there still remain many examples such as the Queluz Palace . Designed by Mateus Vincent de Oliveira, it became the residence of the royal family under the reign of Queen D. Maria I . Made according to the French taste for prince D. Pedro, King D. Jos s brother, it is characterized by good taste and elegance. It boasts rococo gardens and water games in a large park.

  1. Variations on a Rococo Theme

    The Variations on a Rococo Theme , Op. 33, for cello and orchestra was the closest Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky ever came to writing a full concerto for cello and orchestra. The style was inspired by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart Mozart , Tchaikovsky s role model , and makes it clear that Tchaikovsky admired the Classical period music Classical style very much. However, the Thema is not Rococo in origin, but actually an original theme in the Rococo style. Tchaikovsky wrote this piece for and with the help of Wilhelm Fitzenhagen , a German cellist and fellow professor at the Moscow Conservatory . Fitzenhagen gave the premiere in Moscow on November 30, 1877, with Nikolai Rubinstein conducting. This was perhaps the only hearing of the Variations as Tchaikovsky wrote the piece until 1941, when it was played in Moscow without Fitzenhagen s by then standard emendations. Orchestration The piece is scored for a reduced orchestra consisting of pairs of basic woodwind instrument s, two horn instrument horns , and string instrument strings . This reduction of forces is a deliberate reflection of an 18th century orchestra.

  1. Toad of Toad Hall

    for the character Mr. Toad unreferenced date August 2011 Image toad of toad hall.jpg thumb right Poster for a 2008 theatrical production of Toad of Toad Hall Toad of Toad Hall is the first of several dramatisations of Kenneth Grahame s 1908 novel The Wind in the Willows . It was written by A. A. Milne , with incidental music by Harold Fraser Simson . Milne extracted the adventures of Mr. Toad which form only about half of the original book because they lent themselves most easily to being staged. Milne loved Grahame s book, which is one of the reasons he decided to adapt it. The play has four main characters Rat, Badger, Mole, and Toad. Toad s caravan and car adventures are included, as well as his imprisonment, escape, and subsequent fight with the weasels and stoats to regain his home with the help of his friends. Although not a musical, the play contains six songs. Its first production was at the Lyric Theatre London Lyric Theatre in London on 17 December 1929. Actors During the play s history many great actors have played the part of Toad in a number of plays, films, and TV dramatizations. These include Terry Jones Director and actor in the film, The Wind in the Willows 1996 film The Wind in the Willows Leo McKern as Toad on stage in London Michael Hordern at the Shakespeare Memorial now the Royal Shakespeare Theatre, Stratford Raymond Westwell at Stratford Patrick Wymark at Stratford Gerald Campion on television, and in London James Hayter actor James Hayter on television Jeremy Geidt in London Peter Woodthorpe in London and at Stratford Martin Friend in London Ian Wallace in London Michael Graham Cox in London Derek Smith in London, at Stratford and on radio Michael Bates actor Michael Bates in London Jeremy Sinden Old Vic , London Nicky Henson in London Ian Talbot in London Peter Sowerbutts in Bromley, Kent Dale Superville in Salisbury Michael Williams actor Michael ... 00119.htm Toad of Toad Hall 1961 62 production , with a http www.mckellen.com stage 00119c.htm cast ...   more details
