87 Sylvia
Sylvia (minor planet designation: 87 Sylvia) is the one of the largest asteroids (approximately tied for 7th place, to within measurement uncertainties). It is the parent body of the Sylvia family and member of Cybele group located beyond the main asteroid belt (see minor-planet groups). Sylvia was the first asteroid known to possess more than one moon. Discovery and naming Sylvia was discovered by N. R. Pogson on May 16, 1866, from Madras (Chennai), India.Pogson, N. R. (1866), Minor Planet (87) Sylvia', Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, Vol. 26, p. 311 (June 1866) Antonio Paluzie-Borrell, writing in Paul Herget's ''The Names of the Minor Planets'' (1955), mistakenly states that the name honors Sylvie Petiaux-Hugo Flammarion, the first wife of astronomer Camille Flammarion. In fact, in the article announcing the discovery of the asteroid, Pogson explained that he selected the name in reference to Rhea Silvia, mother of Romulus and Remus (''MNRAS'', 1866). Phys ...

Sylvia (musical)
''Sylvia'' is a British stage work on the life of Sylvia Pankhurst. It was originally co-commissioned by the Old Vic, Sadler's Wells and 14-18 NOW from Kate Prince and her company ZooNation to mark the centenary of the Representation of the People Act 1918 and the end of the First World War. However, it evolved into a full-scale dance, soul, funk and hip hop musical, which was initially presented at The Old Vic as a work-in-progress from 8 to 22 September 2018, with a book by Prince and Priya Parmar. A full production of the completed version will have its world premiere in 2023, playing at The Old Vic from 27 January to 1 April 2023. The main score was written by DJ Walde and Josh Cohen, with additional music by Prince.

Sylvia (ballet)
''Sylvia'', originally ''Sylvia, ou La nymphe de Diane'', is a full-length ballet in two or three act (theatre), acts, first choreography, choreographed by Louis Mérante to music by Léo Delibes in 1876. ''Sylvia'' is a typical classical ballet in many respects, yet it has many interesting features that make it unique. The work is notable for its mythological Arcadia (paradise), Arcadian setting, creative choreographies, expansive sets and, above all, its remarkable Sheet music, score. When ''Sylvia, ou La nymphe de Diane'' premiered on 14 June 1876 at the Palais Garnier, it went largely unnoticed by the critics. The first seven productions of ''Sylvia'' were not commercially successful. The 1952 revival, choreographed by Frederick Ashton, Sir Frederick Ashton, popularized the ballet. The 1997, 2004, 2005 and 2009 productions were all based on Ashton's original choreography. History Preparations The origins of the ballet ''Sylvia'' are in the Italian poet Torquato Tasso, Ta ...

Sylvia (Elvis Presley Song)
"Sylvia" is a song by Elvis Presley from his 1972 album ''Elvis Now'', being the penultimate song recorded on the last day of the prolific Nashville recording sessions in June 1970 (which yielded a total of more than 30 songs, spread over several albums). For some reason RCA Victor (possibly considering it as a single candidate)Jorgensen, ''Elvis Presley A Life in Music: The Complete Recording Sessions''. New York: St. Martin's Press, 1998; p. 307. did not include the song either on ''That’s The Way It Is'' album in 1970 or on ''Love Letters from Elvis'' album in 1971, though it was recorded during the same sessions and was thematically appropriate for both these albums. It eventually appeared on ''Elvis Now'' in 1972. However, the 2008 ''FTD'' re-release of ''Love Letters from Elvis'' contained the master version of the track (known as Take 8) as well as all its outtakes. Another version of the song, recorded on July 15, 1970, at MGM Studios during the rehearsals for the M ...

Hospice (The Antlers Album)
''Hospice'' is the third studio album by American indie rock band The Antlers, and their first concept album. It was initially self-distributed by the band in March 2009, and was eventually remastered and re-released once they signed to Frenchkiss Records in August of the same year. Concept ''Hospice'' tells the story of a relationship between a hospice worker and a female patient suffering from terminal bone cancer, their ensuing romance, and their slow downward spiral as a result of the woman's traumas, fears, and disease. The story of her deterioration also serves as a metaphor for an abusive relationship. Frontman Peter Silberman has been reluctant to divulge explicit details regarding the meaning of the record, and the extent to which it is autobiographical. Release The first single was "Bear", released in April 2009 to promote the self-released version of ''Hospice''. "Two" was the first single released commercially, as a digital download in June 2009.

"Sylvia" is a 1972 song by Dutch progressive rock band Focus. It was released on their 1972 album ''Focus 3'' and as a UK single on 27 January 1973. The single became the band's biggest international hit, reaching number 4 in the UK Singles Chart and number 89 in the US Billboard chart.

It had the long winded title "''I Thought I Could Do Everything On My Own, I Was Always Stripping Th ... [...More Info...]       [...Related Items...]     OR:     [Wikipedia]   [Google]   [Baidu]   |
