Remembrance-Emily Brontë

Christmas Bells (Version 2) by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow.This was the Fortnightly Poetry project for December 18, 2022. Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (27 February 1807 - 24 March 1882) was an American poet and teacher best known for the poems "Paul Revere's Ride", "The Song Of Hiawatha" and "Evangeline." He was one of the so-called fireside poets from New England. This poem was written on Christmas Day 1863 and deals with the stark contrast between the Christmas message of peace on earth and the brutal and devastating American Civil War which was at its height. The poem was published in February of 1865 and first set to music in 1872 by English organist John Baptiste Calkin. Calkin's tune is still the one commonly used with the text to this day under the name of "I Heard The Bells On Christmas Day."Featured on Wuthering Heights.Public-domain recording courtesy of LibriVox (librivox.org).This episode includes AI-generated content.

Mendelssohn And Certain Masterworks by Herbert Francis Peyser.In the compass of the present pamphlet it is impossible to give more than a cursory survey of Mendelssohn’s happy but extraordinarily crowded life. He was only slightly less prolific a composer than such masters as Bach, Mozart or Schubert, even if he did not reach the altitude of their supreme heights. But irrespective of the quality of much of his output, the sheer mass of it is astounding, the more so when we consider the extent of his travels and the unceasing continuity of his professional and social activities, which immensely exceeded anything of the kind in the career of Schubert or Bach.Featured on Wuthering Heights.Public-domain recording courtesy of LibriVox (librivox.org).This episode includes AI-generated content.

Beyond Lies the Wub & The Skull by Philip K. Dick.Two stories in the inimitable Philip Dick style. What is a Wub? A 400 pound slovenly, fat, ungainly, drooling animal that looks like a cross between a walrus and an enormous hog? Well, yes that is pretty much what he looks like and for 50 cents, a good bargain no matter how he tastes. The hungry spaceship crew expect to find out. Of course the Wub may not entirely agree but it doesn't have much to say about it. The second story, The Skull, is a skillful mesh of time travel, unscrupulous governments, prisoners, and religion. With an assassin thrown in for good measure. Enjoy!Featured on Wuthering Heights.Public-domain recording courtesy of LibriVox (librivox.org).This episode includes AI-generated content.
