query: Choir is a musical ensemble of singers.

pos: Choir A choir ( -LSB- ` kwaɪ.ər -RSB- ) ( also known as a chorale or chorus ) is a musical ensemble of singers . Choral music , in turn , is the music written specifically for such an ensemble to perform . Choirs may perform music from the classical music repertoire , which spans from the Medieval era to the present , or popular music repertoire . Most choirs are led by a conductor , who leads the performances with arm and face gestures .   A body of singers who perform together as a group is called a choir or chorus . The former term is very often applied to groups affiliated with a church ( whether or not they actually occupy the choir ) and the second to groups that perform in theatres or concert halls , but this distinction is far from rigid . Choirs may sing without instrumental accompaniment , with the accompaniment of a piano or pipe organ , with a small ensemble ( e.g. , harpsichord , cello and double bass for a Baroque era piece ) , or with a full orchestra of 70 to 100 musicians .   The term `` Choir '' has the secondary definition of a subset of an ensemble ; thus one speaks of the `` woodwind choir '' of an orchestra , or different `` choirs '' of voices or instruments in a polychoral composition . In typical 18th - to 21st-century oratorios and masses , chorus or choir is usually understood to imply more than one singer per part , in contrast to the quartet of soloists also featured in these works .

neg: Song-Uttering Choirs In 3 Enoch , the Song-Uttering Choirs are a collective class of angels who frequently sing the Trisagion and reside in Makon , the 5th Heaven , alongside the Ishim . If any of these angels fail to perform the Trisagion at the right time , they are consumed by fire . They are all under the direction of Tagas , the angel of music .   The twelve orders of angels , which are said to belong to this class , are listed as follows :  The Shalishim - the `` Captains '' , the `` Adjutants '' .  The Parashim - the `` Horsemen '' .  The Gibborim - the `` Mighty Ones '' , the `` Champions '' , the `` Warriors '' .  The Tseba'im ( Tzeva'im , צְבָאִים ) or Tseba'oth ( Tzeva'ot , צְבָאוֺת ) - the `` Hosts '' , the `` Multitudes '' .  The Gedudim - the `` Troops '' , the `` Raiders '' .  The Memunim - the `` Appointed Ones '' , the `` Deputies '' .  The Sarim - the `` Princes '' , the `` Commanders '' , the `` Chieftains '' .  The Chayalim - the `` Armies '' , the `` Soldiers '' .  The Mesharethim ( Mesharetim , מְשָׁרְתִים ) - the `` Servants '' , the `` Ministers '' .  The Malakhim - the `` Messengers '' , the `` Kings '' .  The Degalim - the `` Divisions '' , the `` Battalions '' , the `` Standards '' .  The Sabalim ( Sabbalim , סַבָּלִים ) - the `` Transporters '' , the `` Bearers of Burdens '' .

neg: Musico The Italian term musico ( plural musici ) has a number of meanings :   Originally , the term referred to any trained , as opposed to amateur , musician .  In the 18th century , the term ( generally regarded as derogatory ) was used for the voice-type known today as castrato .  In the 19th century , after the disappearance of castrati from opera , the term referred to a female singer , usually a mezzo-soprano , but sometimes a contralto , in a breeches role , often referred to as a primo musico . A diminutive form ( musichetto ) was also occasionally used .

neg: Dramatic soprano A dramatic soprano is a type of operatic soprano with a powerful , rich , emotive voice that can sing over , or cut through , a full orchestra . Thicker vocal folds in dramatic voices usually ( but not always ) mean less agility than lighter voices but a sustained , fuller sound . Usually this voice has a lower tessitura than other sopranos , and a darker timbre . They are often used for heroic , often long-suffering , tragic women of opera . Dramatic sopranos have a range from approximately low A ( A3 ) to `` high C '' ( C6 ) . Some dramatic sopranos , known as Wagnerian sopranos , have an exceptionally big voice that can assert itself over a large orchestra ( of more than 80 or even 100 pieces ) . These voices are substantial , often denser in tone , extremely powerful and , ideally , evenly balanced throughout the vocal registers . Wagnerian sopranos usually play mythic heroines . Successful Wagnerian sopranos are rare and often Wagnerian roles are performed by Italianate dramatic sopranos .

neg: Ensemble (Stockhausen) Ensemble is a group-composition project devised by Karlheinz Stockhausen for the 1967 Darmstädter Ferienkurse .

neg: Homophony In music , homophony ( -LSB- həˈmɒfəni , _ hoʊ - , _ - ˈmɒfni -RSB- Greek : ὁμόφωνος , homóphōnos , from ὁμός , homós , `` same '' and φωνή , phōnē , `` sound , tone '' ) is a texture in which a primary part is supported by one or more additional strands that flesh out the harmony and often provide rhythmic contrast . This differentiation of roles contrasts with equal-voice polyphony ( in which similar lines move with rhythmic and melodic independence to form an even texture ) and monophony ( in which all parts move in unison or octaves ) . Historically , homophony and its differentiated roles for parts emerged in tandem with tonality , which gave distinct harmonic functions to the soprano , bass and inner voices .   A homophonic texture may be homorhythmic , which means that all parts have the same rhythm . Chorale texture is another variant of homophony . The most common type of homophony is melody-dominated homophony , in which one voice , often the highest , plays a distinct melody , and the accompanying voices work together to articulate an underlying harmony .   Initially , in Ancient Greece , homophony indicated music in which a single melody is performed by two or more voices in unison or octaves , i.e. monophony with multiple voices . Homophony as a term first appeared in English with Charles Burney in 1776 , emphasizing the concord of harmonized melody .

neg: Volti Volti is a 20-person professional vocal ensemble based in San Francisco . The group was founded by Robert Geary in 1979 as the San Francisco Chamber Singers . Beginning with an all-Bach program , the group quickly moved on to the more contemporary works that have shaped its mission ever since : `` to foster and showcase contemporary American music and composers , and to introduce contemporary vocal music from around the world to local audiences . '' When the group turned 25 in 2003-2004 , it changed its name to Volti - a reference to the Italian musical instruction `` volti subito '' meaning `` turn quickly . ''   Volti regularly performs two to three concert series each season in venues throughout the Bay Area . Volti has appeared at the Switchboard and SoundWave festivals of new music , and has collaborated with many Bay Area new music groups . In addition , Volti sponsors the Choral Arts Laboratory , a commissioning and residency program for American composers under age 35 , and the Choral Institute for high school students . In 2009 Volti became the first choir ever to have been awarded the Chorus America/ASCAP Award for Adventurous Programming six times . 2009 also marked the choir 's 30th anniversary . Volti has released two CDs on the innova label : `` Turn the Page '' and `` House of Voices . '' A third , `` This is what happened , '' will be released in January 2017 .

neg: List of baritones in non-classical music The baritone voice is typically written in the range from the second G # below middle C to the G # above middle C ( G # 2-G # 4 ) although it can be extended at either end . However , the baritone voice is determined not only by its vocal range , but also by its timbre , which tends to be darker than that of the typical tenor voice .   The term baritone was developed in relation to classical and operatic voices , where the classification is based not merely on the singer 's vocal range but also on the tessitura and timbre of the voice . For classical and operatic singers , their voice type determines the roles they will sing and is a primary method of categorization . In non-classical music , singers are primarily defined by their genre and their gender and not by their vocal range . When the terms soprano , mezzo-soprano , contralto , tenor , baritone , and bass are used as descriptors of non-classical voices , they are applied more loosely than they would be to those of classical singers and generally refer only to the singer 's perceived vocal range .   Successful non-classical baritones display a wide range of vocal qualities and effects that lend a unique character to their voices , many of which are considered undesirable in the operatic or classical baritone singer , such as `` breathy '' ( Jim Reeves ) , `` crooning '' ( Ville Valo ) , `` growling '' ( Neil Diamond ) , and even `` ragged '' ( Bruce Springsteen ) .   The following is a list of singers in various music genres and styles ( most of which can be found on the List of popular music genres ) who have been described as baritones . Additionally , the bands that they have been lead singers of appear in parentheses .

neg: Chorale cantata In music , a chorale cantata is a sacred composition for voices and instruments , principally from the German Baroque era , in which the organizing principle is the words and music of a Lutheran hymn . Usually a chorale cantata is in multiple movements or parts . Most chorale cantatas were written between approximately 1650 and 1750 . By far the most famous are by Johann Sebastian Bach , especially the cantatas composed in his second annual cycle of cantatas , started in Leipzig in 1724 .

neg: Complaints Choir Complaints Choir is a community art project that invites people to sing about their complaints in a choir together with fellow complainers .   The first Complaints Choir was organized in Birmingham ( UK ) in 2005 , followed by the Complaints Choirs of Helsinki , Hamburg and St. Petersburg in 2006 . The project was initiated by artists Tellervo Kalleinen and Oliver Kochta-Kalleinen . A video installation consisting of the documentation of the public performances of the four choirs were shown at Kiasma ( Helsinki , Finland ) , S.M.A.K. ( Ghent , Belgium ) and Museum Fridericianium Kassel ( Germany ) among other venues . When the video clips of the choirs were distributed through online magazines and video sharing websites , the idea spread quickly to many other countries . To date additional Complaints Choirs have been organized in Bodø ( Norway ) , Poikkilaakso primary school ( Helsinki , Finland ) , Budapest ( Hungary ) , Chicago ( Illinois , United States ) , Juneau ( Alaska ) , Gabriola Island ( Canada ) , Melbourne ( Australia ) , Jerusalem ( Israel ) , Singapore , Breslau ( Poland ) , Hong Kong , Philadelphia , Durham , North Carolina , Enschede in The Netherlands ( as part of its international Grenswerk art festival ) in the Netherlands and Tokyo ( Japan ) .   In 2006 in Singapore , a complaints choir that was to be in a festival was prohibited from performing by the government . The Singapore government 's Media Development Authority refused to issue a permit because some members of the choir were foreigners and some of the lyrics touched upon `` domestic affairs '' . Reuters quoted the festival organizer as saying , `` Our conductor is Malaysian , so how could the choir go ahead without him ? ''   The name ` Complaints Choir ' is a literal translation of the long-established Finnish expression valituskuoro ; English has the expression `` a chorus of complaints '' .   One of the complaints mentioned in the Helsinki version was the fact that the Finns were always beaten by the Swedes in the Eurovision Song Contest . A few months later , Finland won the contest for the first time , with Sweden coming fifth .

neg: Concertato Concertato is a term in early Baroque music referring to either a genre or a style of music in which groups of instruments or voices share a melody , usually in alternation , and almost always over a basso continuo . The term derives from Italian concerto which means `` playing together '' -- hence concertato means `` in the style of a concerto . '' In contemporary usage , the term is almost always used as an adjective , for example `` three pieces from the set are in concertato style . ''   A somewhat oversimplified , but useful distinction between concertato and concerto can be made : the concertato style involves contrast between opposing groups of voices and groups of instruments : the concerto style , especially as it developed into the concerto grosso later in the Baroque , involves contrast between large and small groups of similar composition ( later called `` ripieno '' and `` concertino '' ) .   The style developed in Venice in the late 16th century , mainly through the work of Andrea and Giovanni Gabrieli , who were working in the unique acoustical space of St. Mark 's Cathedral . Different choirs or instrumental groupings occupied positions across the cathedral from each other : because of the sound delay from one side to the other in the large and acoustically `` live '' space , a perfect unison was difficult , and composers found that a fantastically effective music could be composed with the choirs singing across to each other , in stereo as it were ; all accompanied by organ or other groups of instruments placed in such a way that they could hear each group equally well . Music written there was quickly performed elsewhere , and compositions in the new `` concertato '' style quickly became popular elsewhere in Europe ( first in northern Italy , then in Germany and the rest of Italy , and then gradually in other parts of the continent ) . Another term sometimes used for this antiphonal use of the choirs in St. Mark 's was cori spezzati . See also Venetian polychoral style and Venetian School .   In the early 17th century , almost all music with voices and basso continuo was called a concerto , though this use of the term is considerably different from the more modern meaning ( a solo instrument or instruments accompanied by an orchestra ) . Often , sacred music in the concertato style in the early 17th century was descended from the motet : the texts that a hundred years earlier would have been set for a cappella voices singing in smooth polyphony , would now be set for voices and instruments in a concertato style . These pieces , no longer always called motets , were given a variety of names including concerto , Psalm ( if a psalm setting ) , sinfonia , or symphoniae ( for example in Heinrich Schütz 's collections of Symphoniae Sacrae ) .   The concertato style made possible the composition of extremely dramatic music , one of the characteristic innovations of the early Baroque .

neg: Youth orchestra A youth orchestra is an orchestra made of young musicians , typically ranging from pre-teens or teenagers to those in their mid-20s . Because young children do not usually start playing double bass until a later age than those playing the smaller instruments , double bass players in youth orchestras tend to be in the early to mid-20s . The typical youth orchestra involves members from across an entire city or town . In some cases , there are national youth orchestras , which consist of the best young musicians in a country , as determined by auditions . More rarely , there may even be international youth orchestras . Youth orchestras are led by an adult conductor who is often a music teacher or orchestral musician . In addition to leading the rehearsals and performances , the conductor teaches orchestral playing techniques , performance practice and music ensemble skills to the children and youth .

neg: Horn section A horn section is a group of musicians playing horns . In an orchestra or concert band , it refers to the musicians who play the `` French '' horn , and in a British-style brass band it is the tenor horn players . In many popular-music genres the term is applied loosely to any group of woodwind or brass instruments , or a combination of woodwinds and brass .

pos: Paramore (album) Paramore is the self-titled fourth studio album by American rock band Paramore .

neg: Blink-182 Blink-182 ( often stylized as blink-182 ; pronounced `` blink one eighty two '' ) is an American rock band formed in Poway , California in 1992 . The band currently consists of bassist and vocalist Mark Hoppus , drummer Travis Barker , and guitarist and vocalist Matt Skiba . Founded by guitarist and vocalist Tom DeLonge , bassist and vocalist Mark Hoppus and drummer Scott Raynor , the band emerged from the Southern California punk scene of the early 1990s and first gained notoriety for high-energy live shows and irreverent lyrical toilet humor . Blink-182 was initially known as Blink until an Irish band of the same name threatened legal action ; in response , the band appended the meaningless number '' -182 '' .   In its early years , Blink-182 toured heavily behind the band 's debut , Cheshire Cat ( 1995 ) . The group signed with major label MCA Records to co-distribute its second album , Dude Ranch ( 1997 ) . Raynor was fired midway through a 1998 tour and replaced by Barker . The group 's next two releases , Enema of the State ( 1999 ) and Take Off Your Pants and Jacket ( 2001 ) , were enormous successes on the strength of radio and MTV airplay . The eponymously titled Blink-182 followed in 2003 and marked a stylistic shift for the group . DeLonge quit in 2005 , sending the band into what was termed an `` indefinite hiatus '' . They reunited in 2009 , producing the trio 's sixth album , Neighborhoods ( 2011 ) . In 2015 , DeLonge again exited and was replaced by Alkaline Trio guitarist and vocalist Matt Skiba . The band 's seventh studio album , California , was released on July 1 , 2016 .   Blink-182 is considered a key group in the development of pop punk ; the band 's combination of pop melodies with fast-paced punk rock featured a more radio-friendly accessibility than prior bands . The trio has sold over thirteen million albums in the United States , and over 50 million albums worldwide . In 2011 , The New York Times asserted , `` no punk band of the 1990s has been more influential than Blink-182 , '' and even as the band receded after its 2005 split , `` its sound and style could be heard in the muscular pop punk of Fall Out Boy or in the current wave of high-gloss Warped Tour punk bands , like All Time Low and The Maine .

neg: Tender Trap Tender Trap is an indie rock/twee pop band , based in London ( UK ) , formed in 2001 by three of the five members of Marine Research - Amelia Fletcher , Rob Pursey , and John Downfall .   Amelia Fletcher and Rob Pursey were previously in the twee pop band Heavenly , and some have seen Tender Trap as representing a return to the pop aesthetic of that earlier band . On their first , electronically slanted album Film Molecules , the songs demonstrate an eclectic mix of musical styles , with a clear nod to the similarly eclectic approach taken by The Magnetic Fields on their 69 Love Songs album .   The band 's initial intention was to be a recording outfit only , due to their hatred of transporting drums from place to place . They compromised by playing live but using a CD player for backing beats . Additional live performers have included Claudia Gonson ( of The Magnetic Fields ) on drums , and Lupe Núñez-Fernández of Pipas and Amor de Días , who was a guest vocalist on the Language Lessons EP and the second album 6 Billion People .   After a quiet 2007-2008 , Tender Trap reformed at the beginning of 2009 as a five piece , with additional members Elizabeth Morris ( also in Allo Darlin ' ) on guitar and vocals and Katrina Dixon ( formerly of Police Cat , Sally Skull and The Garden City Project ) on drums and vocals . They performed on the main stage at Indietracks festival in Derbyshire in July 2009 and the indoor stage in July 2010 . Elizabeth Morris left to concentrate on Allo Darlin ' in August 2010 and Emily Bennett ( Betty And The Werewolves ) joined the following month on guitar and vocals .   In 2010 , Tender Trap released Dansette Dansette , an album that finds Fletcher working with `` up-and-coming British indie luminaries , rediscovering her musical beginnings , and continuing to incorporate and impart feminist consciousness through sharp , yet tender , pop songs ''   As of 2014 , the band is on indefinite hiatus , and Fletcher and Pursey now perform as The Catenary Wires .

neg: Leave Your Soul to Science Leave Your Soul to Science is the sixth studio album by Melbourne band Something for Kate , released in September 28 , 2012 . The album debuted at No. 5 on the ARIA Charts . The album was produced by John Congleton , whose previous credits include Okkervil River , Shearwater and The New Pornographers and recorded at his Elmwood studio in Dallas , Texas . Frontman Paul Dempsey told The Age the band had been looking for someone to tell them when enough was enough . `` We recognised an inclination or proclivity among ourselves to procrastinate and keep layering stuff up , '' he said . `` We knew that we needed to fight that instinct and he was very much the guy to help us . ''   He told the Hobart Mercury Congleton was `` the perfect guy for our new-found relaxed attitude '' : `` He 's a real experimenter and we were feeling very experimental ourselves . The four of us would just sit around and throw out ideas , and do the strangest , dumbest things and see what worked . Whenever we thought something was weird and interesting but we were n't sure about it , we 'd just run with it any sort of uncertainty was a good thing . We ran with the uncertainty and embraced the feeling of not being 100 per cent sure of everything we were doing . ''   Dempsey said he had been unsatisfied with the way some songs on previous albums had been captured .   `` In previous years we were concerned with being perfectionists , and trying to make everything just so . What we realised after a long time is that that actually can end up sucking the life out of things , and that perhaps the better way to do things is to fly by the seat of your pants and rely on the spontaneous energy of the moment . Some of our past records have suffered a bit from too much nitpicking , and this latest record really has zero nitpicking . There 's plenty of audible mistakes and weird moments where we just went fuck it , just leave it , it 's all part of what happens when you hit record . ''   Dempsey said the album 's lyrics contained an abundance of often cryptic black humour . He said he found the lyrics of `` This Economy '' , a song of lost love set in the context of the global financial crisis , `` hilariously funny '' . `` The song reeks of ( disgraced businessman ) Bernie Madoff and it reeks of young Wall Street executives who equate the size of their wallets with the success of their human relationships , '' he said . Dempsey said he was not bothered if people misunderstood his lyrics . `` If my humour does n't translate , there should n't need to be a press release letting everyone know that I 'm funny . ''   The album 's cover and inner book photography was by bassist Stephanie Ashworth .

neg: Rose's Pawn Shop Rose 's Pawn Shop is an Americana , rock , folk and bluegrass band from Los Angeles , California . Their debut album The Arsonist was released in May 2006 . The band tours several times each year throughout the United States but has recently put a hold on touring to record a new album coming 2013 .   On their new album Gravity Well , the fiercely independent young quintet known as Rose 's Pawn Shop deliver a rousing , honest set that demonstrates exactly why this multi-talented , multi-instrumental L.A.-based fivesome has quickly risen from humble D.I.Y. origins to national notoriety , winning a fiercely loyal fan base in the process .   The 12 new tunes that comprise Gravity Well -- produced by Ted Hutt , renowned for his work with the likes of the Dropkick Murphys , Gaslight Anthem and the Old Crow Medicine Show -- make it clear why Rose 's Pawn Shop has earned such a fervent following . The band 's catchy , anthemic songcraft channels the raw emotional power of America 's folk , country and bluegrass traditions and puts them through a modern filter , creating timelessly resonant music .   Frontman Paul Givant 's heartfelt , engaging songwriting surveys such time-honored subjects as heartache , loss , regret and redemption , echoing centuries of musical tradition while still sounding wholly contemporary . Despite the lyrics ' often-dark subject matter , the music is consistently uplifting , thanks to the musicians ' infectious instrumental interplay and soaring three - and four-part harmonies . The ensemble makes innovative use of banjo , fiddle , mandolin and upright bass , while maintaining an edgy swagger .   `` I think that this music exists on two different levels , '' notes singer , guitarist and main songwriter Givant , adding , `` The songs are passionate and emotional , and sometimes sad and heartbreaking . But at the same time , the energy of the music makes you want to get up and dance and release all of that pent-up energy . ''   Rose 's Pawn Shop 's musical and emotional depth is apparent on such lyrically and melodically compelling new tunes as `` What Were You Waiting For ? , '' `` Staring At the Door '' and `` On the Brink , '' which merge equal amounts of country twang and punk adrenaline . Meanwhile , gentler numbers like `` Go Get Gone , '' `` Stay All Night '' and the cinematic title track explore more introspective territory , and a memorable reading of the Dock Boggs standard `` Country Blues '' affirms the group 's instinctive understanding of its vintage influences .   Growing up in the 1990s , Paul Givant absorbed a wide array of music , yet he was drawn most deeply to traditional folk and bluegrass , and inspired by the music 's ability to illuminate the tragedies and triumphs of everyday life . The influence of those genres loomed large when Givant began writing songs himself .   Through various mutual friendships , chance meetings and some help from Craigslist , Givant eventually connected with kindred musical spirits John Kraus , Tim Weed , Stephen Andrews and Christian Hogan , whose musical expertise , instrumental versatility and organic rapport were ideally suited to Givant 's expansive musical vision .   `` The original intent , '' Givant explains , `` was to be kind of a bluegrass version of the Pogues , fusing bluegrass instrumentation and energy with rock and punk . That 's what our first album was like : gritty , high-energy and passionate , with a lot of instrumental virtuosity . But over time , we 've evolved to be more song-focused . I think we 've retained that original energy , but now we 're more focused on crafting our arrangements so the song can shine though . ''   The nascent combo got its name after Rose , Givant 's ex-girlfriend and former bandmate , stole the band 's equipment from their rehearsal space and scattered their gear amongst various pawn shops throughout North Hollywood . Fortunately , the musicians were able to recover their gear , and soon forged a formidable musical chemistry that manifested itself in their highly charged live shows , and on their 2010 release Dancing on the Gallows .   Rose 's Pawn Shop 's lineup solidified and began touring intensively in time to support Dancing on the Gallows , accumulating such landmarks as month-long residencies at New York 's Parkside Lounge and L.A. 's Redwood Bar , busking in New Orleans ' fabled Jackson Square , live radio sessions on such prestigious stations as KEXP in Seattle and WMBR in Boston , well-received appearances at various prestigious music festivals , and a slot opening for Jack White 's Raconteurs , at White 's invitation , at the Henry Fonda Theatre in Los Angeles .   Dancing on the Gallows spent several weeks on CMJ 's influential album chart , while receiving extensive national and international airplay on college , AAA , country and alternative radio formats . Meanwhile , the band 's diligent roadwork -- which has taken them across North America several times , along with visits to the U.K. and Ireland -- has allowed Rose 's Pawn Shop to continue winning fans and friends across the nation and around the world .   `` Our travels have had a big influence on our evolution , '' Givant states . `` Meeting other bands and meeting people from all over the world at our shows has had a big influence on our songwriting , and opened us up to new musical traditions . Seeing the world in general and being away from home for long periods of time has influenced many of our songs . It 's matured us , as people and as a band . ''   Rose 's Pawn Shop 's ongoing musical journey yields considerable musical rewards on Gravity Well , making it clear that the band 's creative horizons are unlimited .   `` We 've always been about the music and the songs , and the expression of the human experience through music , '' says Givant . `` But we 've matured as musicians over time , and I think that that 's been reflected in the music . We 've learned that we do n't all have to play crazy at all times , and we 've learned to pick our moments to shine and deliver the songs in the most clear , concise and passionate way possible . ''

He has presented the Radio 4 programmes The Film Programme and Back Row . In 2013 , he won the award as `` Arts Reviewer of the Year '' from the London Press Club .   At Oxford University he was president of the Oxford Union , Editor of Isis , President of the Etceteras and Musical Director of Oxford Theatre Group . Tookey was elected chairman of The Critics ' Circle in 1995 , but his bid to become vice-president floundered due to the position he took on the 1996 film Crash . Tookey campaigned for the film to be banned , writing that `` Crash is the point at which even a liberal society should draw the line . '' The Observer film critic Philip French wrote that Tookey 's `` campaigning was thought to be in breach of the Critics ' Circle 's objects of promoting the art of criticism and supporting the advancement of the arts . '' Tookey wrote a series of critical articles for the Mail regarding the film which saw Jonathan Coe of the New Statesman describe him as `` the real architect of the antiCrash campaign '' . Tookey called for readers to boycott the products of distributor Sony , and questioned the suitability to the role of the then director of the British Board of Film Classification . Tookey denied charges that he was in favour of blanket censorship , writing in a letter to The Guardian that he has `` frequently written and spoken against censorship and jumped to the defence of films ( such as Pulp Fiction , Reservoir Dogs and The Life Of Brian ) which struck me as victims of unjust repression in the past . '' He wrote in an article for Prospect magazine that his campaign against Crash was motivated by the fear that `` Cronenberg 's film might well have a `` copycat effect '' on a few unstable individuals '' and could `` also have a far more insidious longterm effect by eroticising sado-masochism and orthopaedic fetishism for people previously unaware of being turned on by acts of mutilation . '' Tookey was also concerned at the precedent set by releasing such a film with an 18 certificate .   In 2000 Tookey directed and co-produced the musical Hard Times , based on the Charles Dickens novel of the same name , which opened to mixed reviews at the Theatre Royal , Haymarket and closed the same year .   Tookey also witnessed a man bleed to death from a stabbing in 1997 , and his reaction troubled him : `` It has brought home to me that I have seen so much violence on screen ( the latest film is Crash ) that I have become desensitised . Talking with the others on the street , I was noticeably less affected by the sight of this guy bleeding to death . After the killing , a number of people had nightmares . Should n't I have ? It was my lack of reaction that was so chilling . ''   In August 2013 the Daily Mail decided to not renew Tookey 's contract which expired on 1 December 2013 .

neg: Chris Cwej Christopher Rodonanté Cwej , usually just known as Chris Cwej , is a fictional character from the Virgin New Adventures range of spin-offs based on the BBC science fiction television series Doctor Who . His surname should technically be pronounced `` Shvay '' , but he pronounces it `` Kwedge '' rather than keep correcting people .   His first appearance was in the novel Original Sin by Andy Lane , with his adjudicator partner Roz Forrester . Adjudicators are the police force of 30th century Earth , which was at that time divided into the Overcity and the Undercity . Chris was born in 2954 to a family who lived in the lower levels of the Overcity . Chris 's father , Volsted Kornbluth Cwej , was also an adjudicator . Chris 's father was fairly old when Chris was born , having retired from the Adjudicators the previous year , 2953 , after 48 years of service , and he is well over 70 years old when the young Chris meets the Doctor .   Chris 's grandfather died when Chris was only five , and Chris cried when he saw his grandfather being put into a coffin . A more distant ancestor , possibly a great grandfather was Nathaniel Cwej . Even further back , there was a Cwej involved with the founding of the Adjudicators , and the family have had a long association with the Adjudicators ever since . Chris 's accent sounds American , although his home would once have been considered a part of England , and his surname may have a Germanic/Saxon derivation .   Chris is tall , blonde and muscular , and when he first met the Seventh Doctor and Bernice , he had had a `` body bepple '' ( bodily alteration ) which made him look like a teddy bear .   He and Roz were investigating a murder case in Undercity in the year 2975 when they encountered the Doctor and Bernice . They helped the Doctor defeat his old enemy Tobias Vaughn , who had been manipulating human advancement since the 20th century . Having realise the extent of corruption in the Earth Empire and the Adjudicators , Chris and Roz chose to leave in the TARDIS .   Chris and Roz travelled with the Doctor for many adventures . In this eventful period , Chris fathered two daughters : Jasmine Surprise Cwej-Hutchings with Ishtar Hutchings , and iKrissi with Dep of the People . After Roz 's death in battle , Chris continued to travel with the Doctor for a short time , but the event had a profound effect on him . During the events of Eternity Weeps , the Doctor 's former companion Liz Shaw contracted a deadly virus and begged Chris to kill her , however he was unable to do it . This and the subsequent death of millions of people from the virus caused Chris to question himself and first consider quitting the TARDIS . It took the apparent death of the Doctor in Japan to make him put aside his doubts and help protect the people of the local village from the local warlord , who wanted an alien device in their possession . The Doctor and Chris then travelled to the Doctor 's home planet of Gallifrey , where the Doctor faced members of his House and many dark secrets were revealed . After this , Chris decided to travel alone using a time ring given to him by Romana .   The book which depicts Chris 's sexual encounter with a gay man , Damaged Goods , was written by future executive producer of the series Russell T Davies , whose works often include gay themes . Much like Davies ' later introduction to the series proper , Jack Harkness , Cwej opines that sexuality is not an issue where he comes from .
