Samuel Barber s Essay for Orchestra opus number Op . 12 , completed in the first half of 1938, is an orchestral work in one movement. It was given its first performance by Arturo Toscanini with the NBC Symphony Orchestra on November 5, 1938 in New York in a radio broadcast concert in which the composer s Adagio for Strings saw its first performance. It lasts around 8 minutes and is dedicated To C.E. . The essay is now known as the First Essay for Orchestra after Barber wrote his Second Essay for Orchestra Barber Second Essay for Orchestra in 1942. He wrote his Third Essay for Orchestra Barber Third Essay for Orchestra in 1978. Barber visited Toscanini several times in 1933 and the world famous conductor told Barber that he would like to perform one of his works. This was a great honor for the young composer, particularly because Toscanini rarely performed works by contemporary or American composers. Barber presented his work to Toscanini in 1938. The Essay is abstract and program music non programmatic . It resembles but is not equivalent to a first movement of a symphony. Besides the world premiere in 1938, Toscanini also performed the music on January 24, 1942, in a special War Bonds performance that was preserved on transcription discs Toscanini never made a commercial recording of the music. Eugene Ormandy and the Philadelphia Orchestra recorded the music in 1942 for RCA Victor in the Academy of Music. Leonard Slatkin and the Saint Louis Symphony Orchestra recorded all three of Barber s Essays for Orchestra .

Essay on the Origin of Languages Essai sur l origine des langues is an essay by Jean Jacques Rousseau published posthumously in 1781. http www.archive.org stream 1782collectionco08rous page 354 mode 2up Rousseau had meant to publish the essay in a short volume which was also to include essays On Theatrical Imitation and The Levite of Ephraim. In the preface to this would be volume Rousseau wrote that the Essay was originally meant to be included in the Discourse on Inequality but was omitted because it, was too long and out of place. ref Victor Gourevitch, Rousseau The Discourses and other early political writings Cambridge University Press 1997 p. 393 4 ref In this text, Rousseau lays out a narrative of the beginnings of language, using a similar literary form as the Second Discourse. Rousseau writes that language as well as the human race developed in southern warm climates and then migrated northwards to colder climates. In its inception, language was musical and had emotional power as opposed to rational persuasion. The colder climates of the north, however, stripped language of its passionate characteristic, distorting it to the present rational form. In the later chapters music is used as a metaphor to convey language s transition. Chapter Nine of the Essay is an explication of the development of humankind, eventually inventing language. As this format closely adheres to that of the Second Discourse, some have discussed whether one account ought to be read as more authoritative than the other. As the text was initially written in 1754, and was sent to the publisher in 1763, it appears safe to argue that the tensions between the Essay and the Second Discourse were intentional.

Mother Eddy deserves a place in the Trinity as much as any member of it. She has organized and made available a healing principle that for two thousand years has never been employed, except as the merest kind of guesswork. She is the benefactor of the age. It seemed strange, at the time, to hear him speak in this way concerning a practice of which he was generally regarded as the chief public antagonist.

Thoreauviana expanded Core Sir Walter Raleigh is an essay by Henry David Thoreau that has been reconstructed from notes he wrote for an 1843 lecture and drafts of an article he was preparing for The Dial . It was first published in 1950, in a collection of Thoreau s writings edited by Henry Aiken Metcalf. Another version, with significant differences, can be found in Henry D. Thoreau Early Essays and Miscellanies , edited by Joseph J. Moldenhauer and Edwin Moser, with Alexander C. Kern. Metcalf writes in his introduction that he knew of three drafts of this essay, and he drew on all three of them to construct the version he prepared. He hinted that there may have been an additional fourth draft that had yet to surface. The notes to the Moldenhauer, Moser & Kern version say that Metcalf misread the holograph at several points, omitted occasional words and phrases, ignored some pencil cancellations, and amplified Thoreau s text with passages from the working manuscripts and from the Raleigh Works. None of these changes carry authority. Themes The essay praises Sir Walter Raleigh as a flawed but heroic figure, who failed to use his heroic character to heroic ends. Thoreau concludes by begging America to produce such a hero blockquote We have considered a fair specimen of an Englishman in the sixteenth century but it behooves us to be fairer specimens of American men in the nineteenth. The gods have given man no constant gift, but the power and liberty to act greatly. How many wait for health and warm weather to be heroic and noble We are apt to think there is a kind of virtue which need not be heroic and brave spaced ndash but in fact virtue is the deed of the bravest and only the hardy souls venture upon it, for it deals in what we have no experience, and alone does the rude pioneer work of the world.

Original research article date March 2012 Speculations An Essay on the Theater is a treatise by one of today s major experimental playwrights Mac Wellman . It was published with the collection of plays entitled The Difficulty of Crossing a Field University of Minnesota Press, 2008 . It is also available, with additional material not included in the book, on Wellman s website see link below . The treatise is written in an eccentric style which, at times, reads like a series of aphorisms. Nevertheless, in its totality it presents a vision for contemporary theater which is both cohesive and profound, and which constitutes a radical departure from the Aristotelian paradigm that dominates mainstream theater today, where plot and character are central to the drama. As such, Speculations constitutes a critique of mainstream theater, but it also offers alternatives. It looks at the nature of time and space the transfer of energy between people, places, and things the unlimited potential inherent in the present moment the subjective nature of experience and discusses the implications of these things for the way we do theater. In the course of his discussion, Wellman alludes to scientific developments which have influenced his understanding of the creative process, such as relativity, chaos theory, and fractal theory. He also makes connections between experimental theater and religious ceremony, both of which seek to plumb the depths of human potential in search of epiphanies moments of personal revelation or insight which are, for Wellman, the highest object of the theatrical experience ...
