His eldest sister Marion died of tuberculosis in 1926, aged ten years as there was no cure for the disease at the time, nor did the family have enough money to see a doctor. Smith was born on 25 February 1923, in Barnsley, Yorkshire, the son of Albert Smith (1867–1943), an unemployed coal miner, and Lillian Dean (1894–1978). In Canada he made a 2015 "Stand Up for Progress" national tour. He appeared in public at the 2014 Labour Party conference in Manchester, and during the 2015 general election and the 2016 EU membership referendum. Smith wrote five books, about life in the Great Depression, the Second World War, and post-war austerity, and columns for The Guardian, New Statesman, The Daily Mirror, International Business Times, and the Morning Star. After retiring, Smith wrote his memoirs and about the social history of 20th-century Britain. He grew up in poverty in Yorkshire, served in the Royal Air Force in the Second World War, and emigrated to Canada in 1953. Harry Leslie Smith (25 February 1923 – 28 November 2018) was an English writer and political commentator. ![]() ![]() ![]() (1) After all, nearly every definition of phrase focuses on some coordination of melody and harmony thus, given that hip-hop normatively lacks melody and often has minimal harmonic motion, “phrase” would seem to be an inapplicable construct. In hip-hop analysis, it is tempting to discard the idea of phrase altogether. Definitions that rely on subjective experience tend to capture well the essence of a phrase but lack music-theoretical rigor, while definitions that pin down specific melodic, harmonic, and/or rhythmic features are often only relevant to a narrow body of music. Musicians know a phrase when they hear one, but it has proven quite difficult to agree upon a precise definition, particularly one that applies across different repertoires. In her recent work on post-tonal music, Anabel Maler writes: The phrase, for all that it looms large in any theory of form and formal function, is an alarmingly slippery concept, reluctant to be tied to any particular length or content. ![]() Copyright © 2020 Society for Music Theory ![]() 5/31/2023 0 Comments Peter in kensington gardens![]() ![]() However, this 'New' edition has the advantage of having the illustrations staggered throughout, as the story unfolds, rather than bound altogether at the rear, as well as the addition of a further seven black & white plates not featured in the original, a new colour frontispiece illustration of the eponymous Peter, dated 1912, as well as new typesetting and design for the pictorial title-page.

Pandemonium, the home and bird sanctuary that Raffin shares with some of the world’s most remarkable birds, is a conservation organization dedicated to saving and breeding birds at the edge of extinction, with the goal of eventually releasing them into the wild.
