Hildegard von Bingen: Canticles of Ecstasy
Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 5 Date: 2007-05-20 Summary: Simply awe inspiring and amazing ... One would have to listen to this music to understand the power it will hold over you. Ethereal and almost eery, yet full of power, grace and triumph, this will be a mainstay in your collection. The only thing resembling it that the mass public would be aware of is Gregorian Chant, although this is it's own beast and so much more. It's not expensive, buy it and see for yourself. ...more
[2] Rating: 5 Date: 2007-08-03 Summary: Different -- delightfully so ... I didn't get a chance to read all the reviews posted for this album, so if someone already said this I apologize for the repetition. Are you aware that this is the de facto first opera ever written in Europe? Hildegard was a visionary in so many ways! Her music is very different and unique when compared to other operas. I highly recommend it. ...more

[4] Rating: 5 Date: 2007-05-13 Summary: Ecstatic Music, Ecstatically Performed. ... I had first heard this performance of St. Hildegard of Bingen's "Canticles of Ecstasy" on sound cassette and loved it. The music is sublime. The female voices are heavenly, without a hint of sentimentality. When you listen to "Canticles of Ecstasy" you will know how this medieval nun and composer felt about things. Caution. They could make a believer of you. ...more
[5] Rating: 5 Date: 2008-05-03 Summary: Soul-stirring ... Though I am not a believer, I am interested and moved by all sorts of music, including a lot of historical music. This recording was my first introduction to the amazing Hildegard von Bingen. The music she composed, to me, is best described as soul-stirring. While listening to it, I get the sensation that it has reached inside to my heart and grabbed hold. I suspect this has something to with harmonics, neurology, etc. and is beyond my level of understanding, but I can't deny the wonderful feeling of soul fulfillment ...more
Editorial Reviews — [1] ... Amazon.com | Although Hildegard von Bingen's music has been around for 900 years--and recordings of her music for decades--it seems that only now, as we approach the turn of another millennium, the time is right for the world to pay attention. In this first-rate traversal of her music--the most popular of several volumes released by the early-music ensemble Sequentia--we hear music that resulted from Hildegard's legendary visions, which often included song texts that she subsequently collected and dispensed...more

Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 5 Date: 2010-02-04 Summary: Great for it's purpose! ... I got this calendar to help my 4 year old boy learn his days/weeks/months. It's just the right size to have on the wall, the years go from 2010 to 2015, and the pieces are well made. My only complaint is that my 2 year old takes off the velcro pieces all at once, but they are bright and easy to find. I've had this calendar for about 1 month now and we've used it every morning and haven't lost a piece yet. it's a great prompter to review what day yesterday was and what day today is, how many days of school are left, ...more
[2] Rating: 5 Date: 2010-02-13 Summary: Beautiful ... Every day my daughter says, "We have to change the Calendar!" My son is the weather boy. Great for learning, hard on my back, since I have to pick the kids up to change the date/weather. They are 4 and under so these little pieces would be everywhere if I didn't have it posted high enough. ...more
[3] Rating: 5 Date: 2009-10-08 Summary: Educational and fun! ... My son is in Pre-K and learning seasons of the year, days of the week, months of the year, and counting. He loves pulling off the numbers and talking about what day of the week it is. He also loves going to look out the window at the weather outside to put the right designation on his "calendar." As a parent, I see the educational value of this product. It helps with word recognition in addition to increasing kindergarten preparedness. It is very durable too! ...more
[4] Rating: 5 Date: 2010-03-09 Summary: Fun teaching tool ... This product is great for teaching young kids how to express what the weather is doing. Even if they are a little young like my daughter (2 1/2) they still think it's fun talking about the weather and what day it is etc. We hang it high so she cannot reach it because the small pieces could get lost and I have a 16 month old who would eat them. But we have fun putting the pieces on together. ...more
[5] Rating: 5 Date: 2010-02-03 Summary: Daily Calendar ... My daughter is 4 years old and loves this calendar. It is a great reinforcement for what she has learned in school and she enjoys using her imagination to pretend to play school with it. ...more

[2] Rating: 5 Date: 2010-02-20 Summary: Great case! ... Before getting this case I wasn't sure how it worked exactly. If it was a snap on backside like the rest or what. But I actually like the design a lot! It covers the front chrome edges with a slide on front plate that covers the outer edges and protects the screen from any flat surface you lay it on. While the back slides and snaps on very tightly for a great fit!

Gilded: How Newport Became America's Richest Resort
Feature: ... ISBN13: 9780470124130; Condition: NEW; Notes: Brand New from Publisher. No Remainder Mark. ...more
Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 5 Date: 2010-02-07 Summary: Strikes the Perfect Tone ... As someone who has read and re-read the novels of Edith Wharton and has done some research on the Gilded Age in the East as it contrasts to what was going on in many of the western states and territories at the time, I jumped at the chance to read and review this. I wasn't disappointed. Deborah Davis takes us from Newport's colonial beginnings through the Gilded Age, the Newport Jazz Festival, and up to the present, ending with the death of society doyenne Eileen Slocum in 2008. I'm usually not much on "light" histories, ...more
[2] Rating: 4 Date: 2010-01-23 Summary: Delightful--newsy, entertaining, gossipy... ... Like author Deborah Davis, when I first visited Newport, Rhode Island six years ago, I thought it was an "enchanted place." My husband and I spent a long weekend there and toured many of Newport's historic "cottages." But I was anxious to learn more about Newport's history. Davis provides this information in her delightful book, Gilded: How Newport Become America's Richest Resort. In fact, Davis packs a lot of information into Gilded in a newsy, entertaining and gossipy-style. Gilded is a book not just about Newport's ...more
[3] Rating: 4 Date: 2010-01-30 Summary: A fun read ... I love Newport and its excesses. This was a fun read about relatively ordinary people who in many ways stumbled into incredible wealth. The women were especially interesting. They created lives out parties, fashion, and setting social standards since in many cases they had loveless marriages and no careers of their own. For all the wealth it seems a sad way to live. BUT I would like to give it a try... ...more
[4] Rating: 4 Date: 2010-02-20 Summary: Gilded ... Gilded was a fun fast historical romp. It's more of a collection of anecdotes through the years at Newport than a straight history. My favorite stories were those of the Astors and the Kennedys. I loved the insight into the lives of the rich and famous. Lovers of history, gossip, and WASP style will enjoy. There are two things I would have done differently with this book. One, I would have made it longer to allow for more historical context along with the charming anecdotes. Two, I would have printed the pictures on ...more
[5] Rating: 5 Date: 2010-02-11 Summary: A lively, fun social history of personalities and events ...
