Nocturne
A nocturne is a musical composition that is inspired by, or evocative of, the night. History The term ''nocturne'' (from French '' nocturne'' 'of the night') was first applied to musical pieces in the 18th century, when it indicated an ensemble piece in several movements, normally played for an evening party and then laid aside. Sometimes it carried the Italian equivalent, ''notturno'', such as Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's Notturno in D, K.286, written for four lightly echoing separated ensembles of paired horns with strings, and his ''Serenata Notturna'', K. 239. At this time, the piece was not necessarily evocative of the night, but might merely be intended for performance at night, much like a serenade. The chief difference between the serenade and the notturno was the time of the evening at which they would typically be performed: the former around 9:00pm, the latter closer to 11:00 pm. In its form as a single-movement character piece usually written for solo piano, the noctur ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Megadeus
are the giant robots and monsters of '' The Big O'' anime series. Forty years prior to the events of the series, the world was turned into a vast desert wasteland and the survivors were left without memories. The megadeuses are portrayed as remnants of the previous civilization, a lost technology few citizens of Paradigm know how to control. The word is a blend of the Greek '' Megas'', meaning "Great", and the Latin ''deus'', meaning "god". The pilot of a "Big" megadeus is a , meaning "master", taken from Latin. The robots were designed by series creator Keiichi Sato, who also designed the Mazinger mechas featured on the '' Mazinkaiser'' OVA, the mutant creatures of '' The SoulTaker'' TV series, and was the director and creator of the '' Karas'' series. The designs are strange and "more macho than practical." Unlike the giants of other robot anime, the megadeuses do not exhibit ninja-like speed nor grace or possess voice-activated special attacks; but for what they lack in agi ...
