Výběr z chorálové tvorby

Výběr z chorálové tvorby Johanna Sebastiana Bacha. Obsahuje jak chorály, které lze využít v různých obdobích liturgického roku, tak i chorály z Janových pašijí, které je možno zpívat o liturgii Velkého pátku při čtení pašijí. Většina chorálů je komponována pro čtyřhlasý smíšený sbor s doprovodem varhan. Některé chorály lze doplnit podle partitury smyčcovými či dechovými nástroji. U každého chorálu je zpravidla uveden text 1. sloky v německém originálu. Ve většině případů odráží český překlad věrně německý originál. U některých chorálů však byly použity jiné sloky, a tak se může stát, že se překlad nekryje s uvedeným originálem. Z původně většího počtu slok ke každému chorálu v němčině byl zvolen v českém překladu jen určitý výběr pro potřeby chrámových sborů v naší zemi.

For all our nostalgia about the "Golden Age of Air Travel", it was more mythical than we like to think. As with other forms of transport then, until the 1970s, commercial and military aviation were strictly gendered and racist divisions of labour, both in the cockpit and cabin. This book outlines the impacts and effects this

From Ushant to Gibraltar Barry Quintin

In 1778, when the expected war finally broke with France, Lord Sandwich, the long serving First Lord of the Admiralty, had to find the resources to match the French fleet not only in the Channel but in other theaters of war such as the West Indies, the Mediterranean and the Indian Ocean. In addition, the Royal Navy had to protect Britain's extensive maritime commerce, covering the large inbound and outbound convoys on which the country's economy depended. This book is a study of the men who led and the men who managed, both afloat and ashore, the Channel Fleet.In 1778 it was commanded by Admiral Augustus Keppel; third in command was a member of the Board of Admiralty, Vice Admiral Hugh Palliser. On 27 July it engaged the French fleet commanded by d'Orvilliers. The battle was inconclusive, both sides claiming the victory. During the battle Palliser's flagship suffered

Citizens and the New Governance

This book addresses the relationship of citizenship and public management in Europe. After fifteen years of State reform, it is time for an overall discussion of the theoretical and empirical impact and limits of New Public Management, as one of the latest re-orientations in public administration, on the practice of citizenship. All the authors have pointed out the tension between a focus on improvement of state bureaucracies, on the one hand, and the involvement of citizens in the co-production of policies on the other. They point to a fundamental change that is taking place: the importance of state apparatuses for the development and sustainability of viable societies is being de-emphasised and special attention to "governance" is now taking over the central place, that for so long has been occupied by attention to "government". Through the co-production of public policies by citizens

Find the Theory in Your Research: Little Quick Fix Salmons Janet

One of the most crucial foundational steps in any research project surrounds understanding and choosing an appropriate theory to frame the research question. Theoretical frameworks don't just impact design, they impact how the entire study is interpreted, contextualized, and discussed. There are lots of resources about epistemologies and ontologies, but most focus on the philosophical and historical dimensions that can quickly overwhelm students. They need something quick that helps them understand the practical connection between theory and the purpose/nature of the study and, more importantly, decide which theory is best suited to their particular study. This Little Quick Fix covers questions like: What is theory? How does theory relate to research design? What is a theoretical framework? What is a theoretical contribution? How do I choose which theory (or
