Celebrity Concerts Present VALERIE TRYON Convocation Hall Friday, January 26th, 2007 8:00 p.m.. Friday night’s howling blizzard didn’t have the predictable effect on the McMaster University School of the arts Celebrity Concerts. The Convocation Hall was filled with people, not sprinkled about as the ill fated weather would have suggested. The pianist was the British Valerie Tryon, an England born naturalized Canadian who was awarded the Franz Liszt Medal of Honor for 'outstanding achievement' in the interpretation of Liszt's music by the Hungarian Ministry of Culture in late 80’s. The first piece she selected to perform was Mozart’s Fantasia in C minor, k.396; this fantasia was the prime display of Valerie Tryon’s amazing musicianship. Unfortunately, the fact was that very little in C minor was designed to reward an attentive listener; after all, very few people would take care to listen to the internal themes of such a music piece played right after arriving.

''(p.273) This new event pops up unexpectedly, ''sometime during these roiled months and happened so subtly'' that Ted couldn't say on what day he noticed it. But it meant one thing; Merle was getting old. ''Sir, I said,'' You appear to have become middle-aged.''(p.273). Merle, however, didn't seem to notice. He still loped alongside Ted's mountain bike for hours and ''put in an enormous day in the peaks around the house, ascending and descending ten thousand vertical feet while covering eighteen horizontal miles through the snow''.
UV0618 Rev. Feb. 8, 2011 ENRON CORPORATION’S WEATHER DERIVATIVES (A) Everybody talks about the weather, but nobody does anything about it.1 In October 2000, Mary Watts, the chief financial officer of Pacific Northwest Electric (PNW), a utility servicing the Pacific Northwest region of the United States, reviewed the financial plan for PNW’s 2000–01 forthcoming winter season. Winter temperatures affected the firm’s revenues: the colder the season, the greater the electricity usage. She recalled that the last few years had offered a warmer-than-average winter climate, resulting in adverse financial results for PNW. The weather, combined with rapid deregulation in PNW’s market area, meant that the firm reported substantially no EPS growth from 1995 to 1999, in an otherwise buoyant economic setting.
Alicia Liu English 104 24 November 2011 The Benefits of Listening to Classical Music By Xuefei Liu Why is it that nearly every generation listens to classical music? What is its lure?

The piano is being used for rhythmic-effect and to combine with the violin and cello. Comparatively, I don’t like the first piece most because the music sounds weird to me and it is not like a formal beautiful song. The second piece is excerpt Traume from Wesendonck which is a song cycle written by Richard Wagner. In this song, only Piano and Cello are performed giving an impression of beauty and love. It has very gentle sounds, and the tone is slow and somber.
The various interpretations that can be made from Bob Dylan's Like A Rolling Stone is arguably one of the reasons that it is said to be one of the most influential songs in popular music. At the time of its release in 1965, the song became iconic for its new sound and blatant cynicism. Today, the song remains highly influential. This lasting influence may be attributed to the universal and timeless motif of ‘the journey’. The motif of ‘the journey’ is a timeless one because it is one that remains relevant to all people, at all times.
Those winter Sundays By Robert Hayden Sundays too my father got up early and put his clothes on in the blueblack cold, then with cracked hands that ached from labor in the weekday weather made banked fires blaze. No one ever thanked him. I’d wake and hear the cold splintering, breaking. When the rooms were warm, he’d call, and slowly I would rise and dress, fearing the chronic angers of that house, Speaking indifferently to him, who had driven out the cold and polished my good shoes as well. What did I know, what did I know of love’s austere and lonely offices?
