neg: Marble Season Marble Season is a graphic novel by American cartoonist Gilbert Hernandez , published by Drawn and Quarterly in 2013 .   The story is set in the 1960s and focuses on Huey , the middle of three Mexican-American brothers .

The artwork is simple , and the story unfolds in a grid of six panels to the page .   In contrast to the sexually explicit , violent work on which his reputation rests , Hernandez wanted to create a book that was appropriate for young readers , and drew much of the narrative from his own childhood memories .

In Venezuela it is called quigua ; in Cuba it is called cigua .   Cittarium pica is considered the third most economically important invertebrate species in the Caribbean , after the spiny lobster ( Panulirus argus ) and the queen conch ( Eustrombus gigas ) . It has gone locally extinct in some habitats due to overfishing and overexploitation .

neg: 25th Academy Awards The 25th Academy Awards ceremony was held on March 19 , 1953 . It took place at the RKO Pantages Theatre in Hollywood , California , and the NBC International Theatre in New York City .   It was the first Academy Awards ceremony to be televised , and the first ceremony to be held in Hollywood and New York City simultaneously . It was also the only year that the New York ceremonies were to be held in the NBC International Theatre on Columbus Circle , which was shortly thereafter demolished and replaced by the New York Coliseum convention center .   A major upset occurred in the category of Best Picture . The heavily favored High Noon lost to Cecil B. DeMille 's The Greatest Show on Earth , eventually considered among the worst films to have won the Academy Award for Best Picture . The American film magazine Premiere placed the movie on its list of the 10 worst Oscar winners and the British film magazine Empire rated it # 3 on their list of the 10 worst Oscar winners . It has the lowest spot on Rotten Tomatoes ' list of the 81 films to win Best Picture . Of all the films nominated for the Oscar this year , only High Noon and Singin ' in the Rain would show up 46 years later on the American Film Institute list of the greatest American films of the 20th Century . For a film that only received two nominations , Singin ' in the Rain went on to be named as the greatest American musical film of all time and in the 2007 American Film Institute updated list as the fifth greatest American film of all time , while High Noon was ranked twenty-seventh on the same 2007 list , as well .   The Bad and the Beautiful won five awards , the most wins ever for a film not nominated for Best Picture . It was also the second Academy Awards in which a film not nominated for Best Picture received the most awards of the evening , excluding years where there were ties for the most wins . The only other film to do this was The Thief of Bagdad at the 13th Academy Awards ; as of the 87th Academy Awards , it has not happened since .   Until Spotlight won only Best Picture and Best Original Screenplay at the 88th Academy Awards , this was the last year in which the Best Picture winner won just two Oscars . It was also the second of three years to date in which two films not nominated for Best Picture received more nominations than the winner ( The Bad and the Beautiful and Hans Christian Andersen , both with six ) . This occurred again at the 79th Academy Awards .   Shirley Booth also became the last person to win an Oscar in a Leading Role to be born in the 19th century . She also holds the distinction of being the first woman in her 50s to win the award , at the age of 54 ( the second woman in her 50s to win , Julianne Moore , was 54 when awarded at the 87th Academy Awards ) .   John Ford 's fourth win for Best Director set a record for the most wins in this category that remains unmatched to this day .   For the first time since the introduction of Supporting Actor and Actress awards in 1936 , Best Picture , Best Director , and all four acting Oscars went to six different films . This has happened only three times since , at the 29th Academy Awards for 1956 , the 78th for 2005 , and the 85th for 2012 .

query: Choir is a musical ensemble.

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: Chicago a cappella Chicago a cappella is a creative enterprise devoted to furthering the art of singing together without instruments .

With more than 325 concerts to its credit , Chicago a cappella has produced more than 200 performances on its Chicago-based series . On tour , the group has appeared in 11 American states and in Mexico . The ensemble has been heard frequently on WFMT radio and through broadcasts distributed by American Public Media , including the highly regarded Performance Today . The ensemble has produced eight CD recordings of music ranging from Renaissance masses to contemporary works .   From its inception , Chicago a cappella has been a champion of living composers . Since 1993 the group has presented more than 100 works in their world , national , or local premiere . Chicago a cappella has commissioned new music from composers such as Joseph Jennings , Chen Yi , Stacy Garrop , Rollo Dilworth , Tania León , and Ezequiel Viñao .

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: Rehearsal A rehearsal is an activity in the performing arts that occurs as preparation for a performance in music , theatre , dance and related arts , such as opera , musical theatre and film production . It is undertaken as a form of practising , to ensure that all details of the subsequent performance are adequately prepared and coordinated . The term `` rehearsal '' typically refers to ensemble activities undertaken by a group of people . For example , when a musician is preparing a piano concerto alone in their music studio , this is called `` practicing '' , but when they begin to practice the concerto with an orchestra , this activity is called a `` rehearsal '' . The music rehearsal takes place in a music rehearsal space .   A rehearsal may involve as few as two people , as with a small play for two actors , an art song performance by a singer and a pianist or a folk music duo of a singer and a guitar player . On the other end of the spectrum , a rehearsal can be held for a very large orchestra with over 100 performers and a choir . A rehearsal can involve only performers of one type , as in an a cappella choir show , in which a group of singers perform without instrumental accompaniment or a play involving only theatre actors ; it can involve performers of different instruments , as with an orchestra , rock band or jazz `` big band '' ; vocal and instrumental performers , as with opera and choral works accompanied by orchestra ; or a mix of actors , vocalists , instrumentalists and dancers , as with musical theatre .   Rehearsals of small groups of performers , such as small rock bands , jazz quartets or organ trios may be held without a leader ; in these cases , the performers themselves jointly determine how to run the rehearsal , which songs to practice , and so on . Some small groups may have their rehearsals led by a bandleader . Almost all mid - to large group performances have a person who leads the rehearsals ; this person may be a bandleader in a rock , country or jazz setting ; a conductor in classical music ( including in opera ) ; a director in theatre or musical theatre ; or a film director for movie rehearsals .   While the term is most commonly used in the performing arts to refer to preparation for a public presentation or show , the term is also used to refer to the preparation for other anticipated activities , such as wedding guests and couples practicing a wedding ceremony , paramedics practicing responding to a simulated emergency , or army troops practicing for an attack using a mock-up of the building they will be assaulting .

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: Organist An organist is a musician who plays any type of organ . An organist may play solo organ works , play with an ensemble or orchestra , or accompany one or more singers or instrumental soloists . In addition , an organist may accompany congregational hymn-singing and play liturgical music .

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: Singakademie A Singakademie - originally a phenomenon of the German-speaking realm - is a large mixed choral society , whose primary aims are to study large , significant choral works - mostly those of acknowledged masters ; to train themselves with these works ; and to cultivate social interaction to a high degree . Public performance of concerts is secondary .    Category : Types of musical groups  Category : Vocal music

neg: Song cycle A song cycle ( Liederkreis or Liederzyklus ) is a group , or cycle , of individually complete songs designed to be performed in a sequence as a unit .   The songs are either for solo voice or an ensemble , or rarely a combination of solo songs mingled with choral pieces . The number of songs in a song cycle may be as brief as two songs or as long as 30 or more songs . The term `` song cycle '' did not enter lexicography until 1865 , in Arrey von Dommer 's edition of Koch 's Musikalisches Lexikon , but works definable in retrospect as song cycles existed long before then . One of the earliest examples may be the set of seven Cantigas de amigo by the 13th-century Galician jongleur Martin Codax .   A song cycle is similar to a song collection , and the two can be difficult to distinguish . Some type of coherence , however , is regarded as a necessary attribute of song cycles . It may derive from the text ( a single poet ; a story line ; a central theme or topic such as love or nature ; a unifying mood ; poetic form or genre , as in a sonnet or ballad cycle ) or from musical procedures ( tonal schemes ; recurring motifs , passages or entire songs ; formal structures ) . These unifying features may appear singly or in combination . Because of these many variations , the song cycle `` resists definition '' . The nature and quality of the coherence within a song cycle must therefore be examined `` in individual cases '' .

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: Part (music) A part ( or voice ) is a strand or melody of music played by an individual instrument or voice ( or group of identical instruments or voices ) within a larger work . Parts may be referred to as an outer part ( the top and bottom parts ) or an inner part ( those in between ) . Part-writing ( or voice leading ) is the composition of parts in consideration of harmony and counterpoint . In the context of polyphonic composition the term voice may be used instead of part to denote a single melodic line or textural layer . The term is generic , and is not meant to imply that the line should necessarily be vocal in character , instead referring to instrumentation or simply to register .   Allen Forte defines a voice thus :   Codex Calixtinus ( 12th century ) contains the earliest extant decipherable part music .

neg: Colorado Mass Choir The Colorado Mass Choir is an American gospel choir .   The group 's lead vocalist is Joe Pace . They released their first album in 1996 , and won a Stellar Award for New Artist of the Year . Several releases on Verity Records followed .

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: Guild of Church Musicians The Guild of Church Musicians is a charity to help encourage high standards in church music . It offers members examinations , courses , and awards . The guild is a fellowship of those who sincerely desire to offer the best in music to the service of the church : amateur and professional musicians unified in a common ideal .   The Guild was founded in 1888 as the Church Choir Guild . It was incorporated in 1905 to become known as the Incorporated Guild of Church Musicians . The founding patrons were Archbishop Frederick Temple and Sir George Elvey , organist of St George 's Chapel , Windsor .   Although the organization was mainly Anglican since its founding , in 1988 in the Centenary Year of the Archbishop of Canterbury , the Catholic Archbishop of Westminster was invited to become a joint patron , and the Guild 's openness to all branches of the Christian Church was affirmed .

neg: Canon (music) In music , a canon is a contrapuntal ( counterpoint-based ) compositional technique or texture that employs a melody with one or more imitations of the melody played after a given duration ( e.g. , quarter rest , one measure , etc. ) . The initial melody is called the leader ( or dux ) , while the imitative melody , which is played in a different voice , is called the follower ( or comes ) . The follower must imitate the leader , either as an exact replication of its rhythms and intervals or some transformation thereof ( see `` Types of canon '' , below ) . Repeating canons in which all voices are musically identical are called rounds -- `` Row , Row , Row Your Boat '' and `` Frère Jacques '' being widely known examples .   Accompanied canon is a canon accompanied by one or more additional independent parts which do not take part in imitating the melody .

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