I will never forget Liz's warm welcoming smile and her readiness to ensure that I was comfortable at every Somerville event, formal or in the garden or Dining Hall. She was a key figure in making me feel at home and made it a point of engaging with my talkative son who was 18 months old when I came to Somerville. Rest in peace - Om Shanti - Chinta Kallie

Voces8 are coming to Toronto and I feel like my 14-year-old self chasing a black limo up Yonge Street to meet The Guess Who. I became a rock singer but by age 50 I grew tired of it. I feel sorry for the majority of people my age who don't realize the exquisite pleasure of choral music, particularly contemporary choral music. The auditioned group I am with now, Northern Trails vocal connection, is fabulous! All the best to all of you
Beautifully read. Magnificent voice and presence and classic poem in a great translation. Bravo Daphne!
Free Palestine
Jew haters came together to support terrorists in the name of humanity
Lol. This people are hilarious 😂
Due account must be given to the hundreds murdered by the Israeli IDF on October 7th. There is AMPLE information on this important matter. This is due to the IDF's well-known Hannibal Directive. Festival goers were shot with Apache helicopters and Israeli citizens were shot by tank shells fired at the Kibbutzin during the crossfire with Hamas. Oxford and Save the Children must also investigate the many children held in Israeli prisons without charges or trials, many for years, and routinelly abused by the Israelis. Max Blumenthal from the Greyzone and his wife, Anya Parampil, have this information, as do many other serious journalists. Thank you for caring about Palestinian children.
Real democratic Somerville, having your students arrested. History will remember the hypocrisy.
So democratic to delete all comments that don't match the agenda ;)
Your numberd are incorre is half.
Ask Hamas to stop using human shields and return the hostages.
You only believe they use human shields because you were told that. There is no evidence. What about the Lavender AI targeting that an Israeli whistleblower told us about? The Israelis choose whether a person is a terrorist or not within 20 secs. And a determining factor would be whether they’re male or not! ‘Where’s Daddy?’ is the nickname for a program that targets gunmen when they return home to their families. Are they ‘human shields’?
Mistakes were NOT made. And here is the evidence.

What a charming girl, I wonder what she's up to these days. I wish I could talk to her sometime, she seems very knowledgeable and kind.
I read that the master of the revels licensed plays for performance for a specific period of time. It might have been 2 years or 3. Then, changes had to have been made in the play before it could be staged again. Was Chris Laoutaris' book about the first folio, entitled Shakespeare's Book, The Story Behind the First Folio and the Making of Shakespeare, published before or after this conversation? The new historians' (or whatever that group of scholars that saw Henry VIII as the first modern king rather than the last Medieval king) understanding of Shakespeare's period is supported by Laoutaris' book, although the author makes no mention of the new historicism. Instead, Laoutaris shows us a world in which the conduct of business then was essentially the same as the conduct today. I think Will was a modern man and that his partnership with other playwrights was like the writers' room depicted in The Dick Van Dyke Show.

Very very good!
Emma Smith referring to whether "Shakespeare" was a bad actor: There's room to ask questions about things that look settled, as what a lot about Shakespeare are "apparent facts resting on not very much" - and "the tenacity to follow things up." "Lots of things we don't know about how the First Folio was put together" - there is a "received wisdom" about it. An "unusual title page." "You invent a single author." Hmmmm. And yet the professoriate class steadfastly refuses to engage with growing mountain of evidence that says to look elsewhere. I mean if you're going to discuss the First Folio, yes, it seems perfectly reasonable to leave out the fact that it was essentially an Oxford family production, right?
The First Folio was not an "Oxford Family production". It was DEDICATED to the earls of Pembroke, who refused to marry a daughter De Vere didn't raise, and Montgomery, who waited until right after De Vere died to marry a daughter he also didn't raise. Pembroke was the Lord Chamberlain, aka The King's Men's boss. As he had no children, his heir was his brother, the Earl of Montgomery, who was confirmed to become the next Lord Chamberlain, which he later became. Hemminges and Condell dedicated the work to their bosses. That's it. The earls had nothing at all to do with producing it, and even less their wives.
Lord Burly had his hand picked lacky installed as the archbishop of Canterbury. All printing had to go through him(it was heavily censored) . Only someone very close to Lord Burly, could have got the works of Shake-Speare published.
Lord Burghley died in 1596. The First Folio was published 27 years later. The Archbishop had the right to suppress books he didn't like, but nobody needed to get a license from him to print one.
@@Jeffhowardmeade Hamlet is a deeply autobiographical play written by Edward De Vere, lampooning his father in-law(Lord Burly) and his brother in-law(Robert Cecil). It was Written many many years before the first folio was published. De Vere's wife, Anne Cecil is portrayed as Ophelia. His Cousin was called Horatio. His brother in-law traveled to Denmark and sent a letter back mentioning two guys called Rosencrantz & Guildenstern. De Vere received a thousand pounds a year from the queen, the same amount of money was taken away from the queens players. Hampton Court was where the plays were preformed before the queen. At that time Hampton court was known as AVON. The average word length of De Vere's writing is exactly the same as Shake-Speare's. No other person even comes close. In the Tin Letters to Queen Elizabeth, De Vere is using words & phrases that are credited in the oxford dictionary to Shake-Speare thirty years before Shake-Speare was published. Words like "Obscured" and others. The first folio is dedicated to De Vere's son in-law and his brother(who was once engaged to De Vere's other daughter.)
Also Venus and Adonis is published in 1593. Lord Burly was still very much alive.
@@user-bc4mp6kh8h Hundreds of other books were published in 1593 as well. Were they all published by friends of Burghley? Venus and Adonis was published by Richard Field, who it just so happens grew up with Shakespeare in Stratford. The first time the Archbishop of Canterbury exercised his right to censor published works was in 1599. Wikipedia has a nifty page about the Bishop's Ban.
@@Jeffhowardmeade I don't have the energy to debate you. I have given you the key to the door, that Edward De Vere wrote most of the works of "Shake-Speare". Your faith that an illiterate thug from Stratford wrote the works, is your choice. The thug from Stratford that abused his daughters by never having them educated, leaving them illiterate. He never even left them a single book, Indeed the is no evidence that he ever owned a book. De Vere had three daughters (like Macbeth.) He loved them all dearly. He had them all educated. Ben Johnson was close to his Daughter Susan whose husband is one of the dedicatees of the first folio. Bonner Cutting has shown damning evidence that the Droeshout engraving was based on a portrait of Susan De Vere. Sigmund Freud believed that De Vere wrote the works based on the overwhelming evidence available, and the psychological profile of the man. I am with Sigmund on this. To know De Vere's life is to know the works of Ovid. De Vere wanted to be the English Ovid. He Succeeded. Ask your self why the number 1740 can be found in the works of Shake-Speare more than a thousand times. Why was the monument to Shake-Speare erected in 1740? Ask yourself why De Vere had no will at his death? What other Earl died at the same time without a will? If eyes had wings, you wouldn't miss a single thing.
Katie's first outings with Voces 8 were ultra serious, but she has transformed herself into a fount of joy. Everyone in the group is magnificent. If asked who I appreciate the most, Katie always come to mind. Happy to have found this on my feed, and very grateful for Voces 8. I joined our parish choir back in 1952 and have continued to sing, whenever invited, ever since. Byrd, Bach, Palestrina, Folk, Jazz, & Blues. (anything good from the past 5 centuries) 😲 Don't know why there isn't a singing emoji 😉
😲 Here is a singing emoji!
No mention of the Pavier quarto, 1619. "Shakespeare began as an actor" ..by writing long form sonnets like 'Venus and Adonis'?? The amount given to Heminges and Condell for rings is not even close to the cost of the layout, printing, binding and rights clearances for the First Folio. Their inclusion in the Will is added as interlineation. The myth goes on.
The various interlineals include the 'second best bed' .
She never said it was. The money was enough to buy memorial rings. You know, those things that make you remember people?
What a delightful young woman! Thank you so much for all the pleasure you and your Voces colleagues give us. In the times we live, you enrich and lighten our days.
“...having researched Shakespeare’s life in great detail...” Lol.
Well, it only takes a few minutes.
@@ZZSmithRealOnly if you don't bother to read any of the documents.
@@Jeffhowardmeade, Do you mean the twenty or so docs about legal matters, rentals, corn hoarding, etc?
@@arealphoney When you say "corn hoarding" it tells me you haven't read them. By omitting all the references to the poet being the actor and gentleman from Stratford, you show that you haven't read those either.
@@Jeffhowardmeade, Please direct me to all the documents that refer to the poet being the actor and gentleman from Stratford.

Natasha you don’t have to feel ‘privileged or guilty ‘ as you stated on loose women because you live in a safe country. Millions of British lives earned that privilege during two world wars. What short memories people have.

A great video Susie keep it up darling
‘In Europe, industry fees funded 20% of the new EU-wide regulator, the European Medicines Agency (EMA), in 1995. By 2010 that had risen to 75%; today it is 89%. In 2005 in the UK, the House of Commons’ health committee evaluated the influence of the drug industry on health policy, including the Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency (MHRA).3 The committee was concerned that industry funding could lead the agency to “lose sight of the need to protect and promote public health above all else as it seeks to win fee income from the companies.” But nearly two decades on, little has changed, and industry funding of drug regulators has become the international norm.’ - British Medical Journal, June 2022

The day Katie leaves Voces8 I cry.
Only just found this video - brilliant. I resonated to the statement that -it was a place where it was OK for women to be clever. I was at Somerville from 1967 -1970.
How wonderful - I met Emma (and most of her contemporaries) at the John Loosemore centre near Dartington in the 70’s. I was so lucky to have my first singing lesson there with Emma. I still love her
