Walt Whitman Videos

It s day 4 of NaVloPoMo and it s also day 4 of the NaVloPoMo vlogging game, 30 vlogger 30 days. Or is it 30 days 30 vloggers. Or is it something else completely? Shrug. Anyway yesterday Dennis made a post, the day before that it was Rupert and the day before that it was Adrian. Each video builds on the previous video in some way in some form. Tomorrow Verdi will do a video built in some way on mine today and so on and so on. I have to say I like this video, it was actually my second choice but I think I like this more than my orginal idea. Every once in a while I like to show you all that I can do more than just create goofy, funny, talking head, baby video s. Nothing wrong with any of those mind you, I enjoy those as well but it feels good sometimes to go outside of my self imposed box and do something different. The music is the Greatest Story Every Told The poem is of course by Walt Whitman Ipod, Iphone, Zune and just about anything else Related posts:Talking Heads?!Reruns already?The Legend of The Batman

To You. by Walt Whitman "Let us twain walk aside from the rest; Now we are together privately, do you discard ceremony, Come! vouchsafe to me what has yet been vouchsafed to none?Tell me the whole story, Tell me what you would not tell your brother, wife, husband, or physician."

I Hear America Singing by Walt Whitman "I hear America singing, the varied carols I hear; Those of mechanics?each one singing his, as it should be, blithe and strong"...

From My Last Years by Walt Whitman "From my last years, last thoughts I here bequeath, Scatter'd and dropt, in seeds, and wafted to the West, Through moisture of Ohio, prairie soil of Illinois--through Colorado, California air, For Time to germinate fully."

Born in Milwaukee, OTTO LUENING (b. 1900) studied in Germany and Switzerland, notably with Jamach and Busoni, while earning o living as a flutist. He then returned to the United States in 1920 to begin a career as a composer, conductor, flutist and teacher at the Eastman School, University of Arizona, Bennington College, the Juilliard School, Bamard College, and Columbia University. He is one of the pioneers in the development of tape composition. His autobiography, The Odyssey of an American Composer, was published in 1980 by Charles Scribner's Sons. Lines from "A Song for Occupations" was written for Bamard Convocation in 1964 and is published by C. F. Peters. In 1984, The New Calliope Singers commissioned the composer ond premiered Lines from Blake's "Urizen" and "Vala. or a Dream of Nine Nights." One of the aims of THE NEW CALLIOPE SINGERS, founded in 1975, has been to sing new music with the kind of energy, enthusiasm, and even abandon that characterizes performances of Messiah. The members of the group, amateur and professional, have been extraordinarily talented and patient as they pioneered this exciting and unfamiliar territory. The chorus, in annual recitals in major halls in New York, has presented premiere performances of over 40 pieces in a wide variety of composing and performing styles. Those on this record are ones which have lasted especially well. High points of the group's career, under the able management of Penelope Parkhurst Boehm, include a performance of Bach's St. John Passion with baroque orchestra, a performance of Webem's Das Augenlicht with Manticore, a guest appearance with the Group for Contemporary Music, a live broadcast of Schubert and Brahms on WQXR with New York Philomusica, the resuscitation of a rare oratorio by Anton Rubinstein, the premiere of a work with computer-synthesized tape by Charles Dodge, and a staged performance of Banchieri's madrigal comedy La Pazzia Senile in a comic translation by Maurice Wright.

Has the war in Iraq been a waste of lives on both sides? We'll seek answers to those questions in a documentary about a Marine Corps cameraman who was killed in Vietnam. Also, how Walt Whitman shaped the life of Seattle Poet Populist Cody Walker and Nancy Pearl's book reviews.

Ted Genoways has recently been on sabbatacial from the Virginia Quarterly Review to write a book about Walt Whitman s life from 1860 to 1882.

No Labor-Saving Machine by Walt Whitman "No labor-saving machine, Nor discovery have I made; Nor will I be able to leave behind me any wealthy bequest to found a hospital or library, Nor reminiscence of any deed of courage, for America, Nor literary success, nor intellect--nor book for the book-shelf; Only a few carols, vibrating through the air, I leave, For comrades and lovers."

We two boys together clinging, One the other never leaving, Up and down the roads going North and South excursions making, Power enjoying elbows stretching fingers clutching, Arm d and fearless eating, drinking, sleeping, loving, No law less than ourselves owning sailing, soldiering, thieving, threatening, Misers, menials, priests alarming air breathing, water drinking, on the turf or the sea-beach dancing, Cities wrenching, ease scorning, statutes mocking, feebleness chasing, Fulfilling our foray. Walt Whitman (1819 1892). Leaves of Grass. 1900.

RadioFreeG is now serving up Episode 28 piping hot and fresh! Click below to download, (and look in the sidebar for links to past episodes by tags or full title). (Really, this would be much simpler if you just subscribed on iTunes.)RadioFreeG-Episode28-PoetrySlam3 This show brings listener feedback on comments I made in Episode 27 about the training of Canadian Military Police to go overseas to Afghanistan. One fine member of our armed forces put me straight as to what the situation and training REALLY is for those going to that war zone. I don’t like it one bit, but he is correct, and very enlightening in his comments, so that all civilians could learn a thing or two from his email feedback. We also learn about the tyranny of Linda Ellis, creator of a poem I will not mention in print again. RadioFreeG has a LOOOOOOONG history with this “entity”, and it appears she does not tire of litigation! Another webmaster contacted me after reading about my experiences with her asking for advice about not getting sued. This show contains my advice to him, and an explanation and demonstration of my frustration at having this situation continue to bother me when I just want to move on and leave her in the past with her faded on-hit-wonder glory. Plus, I recite “O Capitan! My Capitan!” by Walt Whitman. Don’t worry, it’s all explained in this new exciting (and full of cursing) episode of RadioFreeG! Background music provided by Café del Mar – “Morning Flood” "END TRANSMISSION."
