Neil: Spiritual Adaptation to Higher Altitudes… A. Corey Mackey, clarinet Keith Lienert, percussion. Both performers are expert, with Doyle’s warm, focused yet expansive tone deserving special praise. This disc is beautifully recorded, with perfect balance between the clarinet and piano. In spite of the subject matter, the work doesn’t take itself too seriously, and it ends with a light touch. With its deliciously diabolical frame of mind, this effective piece should become as popular as Robert Muczynski’s Time Pieces from 1984, with which it shares a number of ingredients including excitement, virtuosity and imagination. In the program booklet, Welcher notes that although each dance uses the same twelve-tone set, it is tonally based and doesn’t have a particularly dissonant or “serial” sound. Inspired by Dante’s Inferno, this set of dances, structured as an introduction, theme, and variations, is harmonically and technically the most advanced of the pieces on this disc. Lasting just over 3 minutes, Elliot Del Borgo’s Elegy for Solo Clarinet, written in memory of his friend, the late David Etheridge, is a warm, expressive piece that could be performed to great effect by a moderately advanced player.ĭedicated to Bradley Wong, Dan Welcher’s Dante Dances (1995) makes a brilliant conclusion to this CD. This attractive piece, previously unknown to this reviewer, deserves to be performed often, and Doyle and Sitton are to be congratulated for including it here. Colorful filigree in the piano adds to the emotional range of the soulful Andantino that follows, and a quality of fantasy, almost improvisation, permeates the third movement. Its lighthearted, breezy opening is followed by a reflective movement with velvety phrases, large leaps and forward energy, and it concludes with a set of exuberant, rhythmically-incisive themes in the last movement.Īlthough written in the same year, the next offering, Sonatina for Clarinet and Piano by Douglas Lilburn, is darker and more theatrical the opening, a melancholy Moderato, is reflective, inward and compelling. Written in 1948, while the 24-year old composer was a student of Darius Milhaud at Tanglewood, this three-movement work is dedicated to the clarinetist Richard Waller. It would function beautifully as the opening piece of a recital and so is well-placed on this disc. The first track is Arthur Frackenpohl’s inviting, sunny Sonatina for Clarinet and Piano. These two fine performers have collaborated here in a CD comprised, in part, of pieces written by composers affiliated with the Crane School of Music. He has performed widely as a recital and concerto soloist, chamber musician and accompanist, and he is also widely published and performed as a composer, particularly in the area of choral music. Pianist Michael Sitton has served as dean of the Crane School of Music since 2009. Her primary teachers were Jon Manasse, David Etheridge and Bradford Behn. She holds a Doctorate of Musical Arts, a Master of Music degree in performance and literature and an Arts Leadership Certificate from the Eastman School, as well as a Bachelor of Music degree from the University of Oklahoma. She is an active performer, teacher, and clinician, and directs the Crane Youth Music Camp. Julianne Kirk Doyle has been professor of clarinet at the Crane School of Music at SUNY Potsdam since 2006.

Please understand that it’s very normal if you dream about your ex every night. Two days later, on Mao Anying’s birthday, Communist Party mouthpiece the People’s Daily shared Wang’s video. In 2018, Wang posted a video introducing his homemade egg fried rice recipe on October 22. Wang’s egg-fired rice video, posted two days after the anniversary of the younger Mao’s death, was seen as particularly egregious as it was far from his first “transgression” – at least in the eyes of Chinese nationalists. Without it, we would be the same as (North Korea) now,” the post said. In 2021, a Weibo user in the southern city of Nanchang was detained by police for 10 days for commenting in a post that “the greatest achievement of the Korean War is egg fried rice.” In some corners of the Chinese internet, November 25 is celebrated as the “Egg Fried Rice Festival” or “Chinese Thanksgiving” – a nod to the belief that if the younger Mao had survived the war, he might have inherited power from his father and turned China into a hereditary dictatorship like North Korea. It discredited Yang’s memoir as “full of flaws and cannot withstand verification at all.” Citing other eyewitness accounts and declassified telegrams, the post concluded that Mao Anying was killed because enemy forces detected radio waves from the busy telegraphs coming in and out of the headquarters in the days leading up to the air raid.ĭespite official denials, the disputed egg fried rice story has persisted. ![]() “To put it in one sentence – their hearts are evil.” “These rumormongers have tied up Mao Anying with egg fried rice, dwarfing the heroic image of Mao Anying’s brave sacrifice to the greatest extent,” the academy said in a post on social media site Weibo. On the 70th anniversary of Mao Anying’s death in 2020, the Chinese Academy of History – an official think tank launched by Xi to counter “incorrect” views of Communist Party history – called the egg fried rice story “the most vicious rumor.” He had used a pun on social media to suggest that Chinese soldiers portrayed in a blockbuster movie about the war were stupid. Last May, former investigative journalist Luo Changping was sentenced to seven months in prison for “insulting martyrs” who froze to death during a Korean War battle. ![]() In 2018, the country passed a law to ban the slander of national “heroes and martyrs,” a crime punishable by up to three years in prison. Under leader Xi Jinping, the Chinese government has cracked down on voices that criticize national heroes or question the official narrative about them. But Chinese authorities have repeatedly refuted it as rumor.Ĭelebrity chef Wang Gang says he won't make egg fried rice again. That version of events was mentioned in the memoir of Yang Di, a military officer who worked alongside the younger Mao at the commander’s headquarters. Instead, the hungry young man fired up a stove to make egg fried rice, which sent smoke into the air and gave away his position to enemy jets. The controversial account has it that Mao Anying, an officer in the People’s Liberation Army, disobeyed orders to take shelter during the air raid. However, by attacking mentions of egg fried rice by famous chefs and other online influencers, the nationalist users have inadvertently promoted the very rumor their government is trying to quash. Wang’s video was solely about making egg fried rice, but for some Chinese nationalists, any mention of the dish around the anniversary of Mao Anying’s death or birthday on October 24 amounts to a deliberate act of insult and mockery. Wang’s “solemn apology” attempted to tame a frothing torrent of criticism about the video, which was posted on Chinese social media site Weibo on November 27.Īngry nationalists accused Wang of using the video to mock the death of Mao Zedong’s eldest son, Mao Anying, who was killed in an American air strike during the Korean War on November 25, 1950. “As a chef, I will never make egg fried rice again,” Wang Gang, a celebrity chef with more than 10 million online fans, pledged in a video message on Monday. ![]() Light, tasty and simple to make, egg fried rice has long been a beloved dish in China and one of most recognizable icons of Chinese cuisine around the world.īut in recent years, the popular stir-fry has become a highly sensitive subject for China’s online nationalists, especially around the months of October and November.Įmotions are running so high this week that one of the country’s most famous chefs has been forced to apologize – for making a video on how to cook the dish.

Apple launches Journal, a new app to reflect on everyday moments and life’s special events ![]() Whether I was building a tolerance to them or there was another explanation is impossible to say. In terms of my sleep, I did wake up a little more often than the previous nights, and my total sleep started to drop down again. So either it was a one-off or perhaps down to my gym session. However, I had no repeat of the headache or any other side effects. This sometimes happens with sleep aids you’re fine for a couple of nights, but then side effects creep in and start to build over time. A milder effect, but no side effects on nights 6 and 7Īfter my headache during night five, I wondered if it was the beginning of ongoing side effects. I did work out hard in the gym in the evening, so there’s a chance I was a little dehydrated during the night.īut I don’t usually get that kind of headache though, so I suspect the ZzzQuil Pure Zzzs had something to do with it. On night five, I slept well but woke up with an unpleasant headache. And again, I slept reasonably well each night, with no side effects. I took the same dosage around the same time for the next three nights. I had no fuzzy head in the morning either, as is often the case with prescription sleep aids and many common over the counter antihistamine sleep aids. No vivid dreams (a possibility with the ingredients of melatonin and valerian). ![]() No side effects so farĪs far as I could tell, I had no side effects that night. And that’s a good night’s sleep for me considering how often I sleep for less than seven hours. I slept for 7.5 hours in total that night and had no significant wakings. I do feel I was a bit drowsy after around 40 minutes, though I was tired anyway so I can’t be sure it was the Pure Zzzs. First nightĪfter taking them, I read in bed for a while. And there’s also the 100 mg blend of botanicals (see ingredients below). On the plus side, the melatonin content is 2 mg, which although still higher than some sleep experts would recommend, is more reasonable than the huge 10 mg dose that some sleep aids have. I’m not a fan of adding sugar to sleep aids – not only does it make you want to brush your teeth again if you already did, but I think it makes them too appealing to children. I took two, immediately noting that they both taste good and are very sugary.Įach gummy has 2.5 grams of added sugars, so five grams in a full dosage. The instructions tell you to take one to two gummies 30 minutes before bedtime. And I’ll also take a closer look at the ingredients and safety advice if you plan on using them too. In this review, I’ll talk about my experience trying ZzzQuil Pure Zzzs. It’s always tricky to be sure if it’s the sleep aid working or the placebo effect, but I do feel I slept better when taking them.Īs for criticisms, for me the main issue was the sugar content – 5 grams per dosage. The short summary is that they seemed to work well for me, as has been my experience with melatonin in the past. ![]() It’s important to note that this version is different from ZzzQuil Nighttime, which contains an antihistamine instead. The active ingredients are melatonin, valerian, chamomile, lemon balm, and lavender. For the past week, I’ve been testing ZzzQuil Pure Zzzs – one of several over the counter sleep aids made by Vicks. |
