The Classic Guide To Strategy Volume Three
''The'' () is a grammatical article in English, denoting persons or things that are already or about to be mentioned, under discussion, implied or otherwise presumed familiar to listeners, readers, or speakers. It is the definite article in English. ''The'' is the most frequently used word in the English language; studies and analyses of texts have found it to account for seven percent of all printed English-language words. It is derived from gendered articles in Old English which combined in Middle English and now has a single form used with nouns of any gender. The word can be used with both singular and plural nouns, and with a noun that starts with any letter. This is different from many other languages, which have different forms of the definite article for different genders or numbers. Pronunciation In most dialects, "the" is pronounced as (with the voiced dental fricative followed by a schwa) when followed by a consonant sound, and as (homophone of the archai ...

''Archery'' is an album by John Zorn featuring his early "game piece (music), game piece" composition of the same name. The album was released by Parachute Records in 1982. Reception The AllMusic review by Thom Jurek gave the album four stars, stating: "The package, as with all Tzadik releases, is stellar, full of three inserts, production notes, and a replica of the original score.

Hockey (album)
''Hockey'' is an album by John Zorn featuring his early " game piece" composition of the same name which first appeared on the Parachute Records edition of ''Pool'' in 1980. The full recordings of the piece were first released on CD on Tzadik Records as part of ''The Parachute Years'' Box Set in 1997 and as a single CD in 2002. Reception The Allmusic review by François Couture awarded the album 2½ stars stating "''Hockey'' belongs to John Zorn's early works. The piece dates from 1978 and is shorter (in principle) than ''Lacrosse'' or ''Pool'', also from the same period... The inner workings of the piece are left to the listener's imagination, but the composer suggests a likeness to entertainer Jack Benny (and to a lesser extent Buster Keaton)."Couture, FAllmusic Reviewaccessed July 21, 2011 Track listing # "Hockey (Electric Version): Take 1" – 1.13 # "Hockey (Electric Version): Take 2" – 3.13 # "Hockey (Electric Version): Take 3" – 11.32 # "Hockey (Electric Version): T ...

Pool (John Zorn Album)
''Pool'' is an album by John Zorn featuring his early "game piece" composition of the same name which was first released on vinyl on Parachute Records in 1980 as a double album including the composition "Hockey". The album was released on CD on Tzadik Records with an additional bonus track featuring a test recording of ''Archery'' as part of ''The Parachute Years'' Box Set in 1997 and as a single CD in 2000. The album was the first released solely under Zorn's name following his collaboration with Eugene Chadbourne, ''School'' (1978). Reception The AllMusic review by Joclyn Layne awarded the album 3 stars stating "Dedicated fans should check this out, as it is part of the early annals of Zorn. Listeners with less patience for music theory -- and Zorn skeptics -- should save ''Pool'' for later, because it will not win anyone over; nor will the compositional theories become more clear upon listening. Essentially, ''Pool'' has more historical value than listening interest."Layne, JAllm ...
