Charivari
Charivari (, , , alternatively spelled shivaree or chivaree and also called a skimmington) was a European and North American folk custom in which a mock parade was staged through a community accompanied by a discordant mock serenade. Since the crowd aimed to make as much noise as possible by beating on pots and pans or anything that came to hand these parades are often referred to as rough music. Parades were of three types. In the first, and generally most violent form, a wrongdoer or wrongdoers might be dragged from their home or place of work and paraded by force through a community. In the process they were subject to the derision of the crowd, they might be pelted and frequently a victim or victims were dunked at the end of the proceedings. A safer form involved a neighbour of the wrongdoer impersonating the victim whilst being carried through the streets. The impersonator was obviously not themselves punished and often cried out or sang ribald verses mocking the wrongdoer. ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Charivari (decorative Chain)
Charivari (pronounced ) is a piece of traditional Bavarian costume jewellery made of solid silver or of rare silver-plated chain, adorned with trinkets, gemstone, coins (or possibly medals), horn discs, carved deer teeth, antlers, animal paws, badger hair, or other game teeth. Origin and use The name charivari (from the Latin ''caribaria'' meaning "mess" or "madness") came into the German-speaking world during the Napoleonic era. At that time it had a secondary, more important, meaning of "pandemonium" or "commotion". This meaning has continued in both English and French until the present day. Bavarian men wear the charivari on the belt of their lederhosen. The charivari traditionally served as jewellery or as a talisman for a successful hunt. For farmers it served as a valuable status symbol. The charivari probably originated from a watch chain, which was attached to the buttonhole of the costume shirt and hung from time to time with various hunting trophies. It could not be bo ...

Charivari (Gruber)
''Charivari'' is a composition for orchestra by HK Gruber. It is based on a polka by Johann Strauss II, ''Perpetuum mobile'', Op. 257. ''Charivari'' was completed in 1981. Composition ''Charivari'' was initially thought as an orchestral showpiece based on the main motifs of the polka ''Perpetuum mobile'' by Johann Strauss II. Because of this strong association, even though it is not included in the score, the Strauss polka is always played attacca before ''Charivari'', as the composition's first bars are very similar to the ''Perpetuum mobile'' ending. For this reason, the composition is also sometimes known as ''Perpetuum mobile/Charivari''. The composition has been subtitled "An Austrian Journal for Orchestra" (german: Ein österreichisches Journal für Orchester) by Gruber himself. According to the composer: The composition is dedicated to Barrie Gavin and was finished in Vienna on 7 December 1981. It was premiered by the London Sinfonietta conducted by Simon Rattle at th ...

John Hawkes (novelist)
John Hawkes, born John Clendennin Talbot Burne Hawkes, Jr. (August 17, 1925 – May 15, 1998), was a postmodern American novelist, known for the intensity of his work, which suspended some traditional constraints of narrative fiction. Biography Born in Stamford, Connecticut, Hawkes was educated at Harvard College, where fellow students included John Ashbery, Frank O'Hara, and Robert Creeley. Although he published his first novel, '' The Cannibal'', in 1949, it was ''The Lime Twig'' (1961) that first won him acclaim. Thomas Pynchon is said to have admired the novel. His second novel, ''The Beetle Leg'' ( 1951), an intensely surrealistic Western set in a Montana landscape, came to be viewed by many critics as one of the landmark novels of 20th-century American literature. Hawkes took inspiration from Vladimir Nabokov and considered himself a follower of the Russian-American translingual author. Nabokov's story "Signs and Symbols" was on the reading list for Hawkes' writin ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Le Charivari
''Le Charivari'' was an illustrated magazine published in Paris, France, from 1832 to 1937. It published caricatures, political cartoons and reviews. After 1835, when the government banned political caricature, ''Le Charivari'' began publishing satires of everyday life. The name refers to the folk practice of holding a charivari, a loud, riotous parade, to shame or punish wrongdoers. History and profile ''Le Charivari'' was started by caricaturist Charles Philipon and his brother-in-law Gabriel Aubert to reduce their financial risk of censorship fines. They also had published the satirical, anti-monarchist, illustrated newspaper '' La Caricature'', which had more pages and was printed on more expensive paper. In ''Le Charivari'', they featured humorous content which was not so political. Ownership of the paper changed often due to issues with government censorship, and related taxes and fines. ''Le Charivari'' published daily from 1832 to 1936, and then weekly until 1937. In ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
