Extractions: Virgil Fox was born in Princeton, Illinois, on May 3, 1912. He was a child prodigy. At the age of ten, he was playing the organ for church services. At fourteen, he played his first organ recital before a cheering crowd of 2,500 people in Cincinnati. At seventeen, he was the unanimous winner of the Biennial Contest of the National Federation of Music Clubs in Boston, the first organist ever chosen. In 1942, he enlisted in the Army Air Force and performed 600 recitals in three years to raise money for the armed services. After his discharge in 1946, Virgil Fox performed forty-four major works from memory in a series of three concerts given under the auspices of the Elizabeth Sprague Coolidge Foundation, before sold-out audiences in the Library of Congress. In the same year, he was selected to be organist of New York City's famed Riverside Church where he served for nineteen years (with W. Richard Weagly, Director of Music), until 1965. Virgil Fox became a member of the American Guild of Organists in 1946. He was presented in recital by many AGO chapters, and was a featured performer at many AGO national conventions. He played three times at the White House (on piano); and in 1952, was chosen by the State Department to represent the United States at the First International Conference of Sacred Music in Bern, Switzerland. In 1963, he was awarded an honorary doctorate by Bucknell University; and in 1964 he received the Peabody Conservatory Distinguished Alumni Award.

Extractions: Virgil Thomson Virgil Thomson, born in Kansas City and long resident in Paris and New York, is one of the few true modernists in America, since most of our moderns turn out Romantics in Disguise. Over and over, he demonstrates that nobody knows more about modern Europe, in pieces that taught Europe a lot about the U. S. and the U. S. a lot about Europe. He's an adept in two arts, for he also happens to be a major American prose writer, specializing in music criticism. For sheer pleasure, check out the Virgil Thomson Reader Thomson's music is almost disconcertingly spare and direct. In the consciously American pieces especially, there is a kind of aural equivalent to Cubist collage, as ragtime, waltzes, tangos, two-steps, fiddle tunes, and hymns get pasted into the texture. Unlike Charles Ives , there's an unsentimental distance and clarity to it all, like someone without illusions able to state exactly what's on his mind. Thomson gets this effect in his prose, too. Although overshadowed by Aaron Copland (who, by the way, always acknowledged his debts to Thomson), Thomson achieved far more in the realm of opera and vocal music, in which almost everyone acknowledges him a master. Try the powerful (and, to my ear, deeply American) 5 Songs from William Blake , the incredibly beautiful Feast of Love for baritone and chamber ensemble (a real lesson in how to vary orchestral texture and how to continue a musical line)

Virgil Thomson
Biographical text accompanying the Alice Neel painting of the composer at the Smithsonian Institution's National Portrait Gallery.
http://www.npg.si.edu/exh/brush/thom.htm

Extractions: Composer Virgil Thomson began his musical training at age five, and by his twelfth year he was performing professionally on both piano and organ. In the mid-1920s he settled in Paris, where he began to compose original works. There he also became part of a cosmopolitan group of avant-garde musicians, writers, and painters then dominating the cultural life of the city. A close friend was the expatriate American writer Gertrude Stein, who wrote the librettos for his operas Four Saints in Three Acts and The Mother of Us All , the latter based on the life of suffragist Susan B. Anthony. By the late 1930s, Thomson was writing music for movies, and in 1948 his score for the film Louisiana Story won a Pulitzer Prize. Thomson was also a major spokesman for the new directions of twentieth-century music as critic for the New York Herald-Tribune from 1940 to 1954. Alice Neel painted many of her colleagues in the world of arts and letters, particularly those in New York City, her home for many years. As she painted, Neel sometimes exaggerated the effect that the body or expression of her sitter had on her own mind. After Thomson's sitting, she wrote, "When I painted the trousers I must confess I thought of elephants so that is the color they really are."

Extractions: Search Virgil's Latin works Query scope: Eclogues only Georgics only Aeneid only Appendix Vergiliana Maffeo Vegio's Supplementum Look for: How to enter search queries For the sake of consistency, the texts used by this search engine always use u for v and i for j . If your search yields no results, check to make sure that your search doesn't include v or j To find parts of words, use an asterisk (*) to represent missing parts of the word. For example, if you enter "mund*" it will match "mundus", "mundi", etc. Similarly, "*que" would find "quisque", "atque", etc. The search query can either be one or more words (a simple search) separated by spaces, or a boolean expression. All searches are performed in a case insensitive manner: for example, entering "DOMUS" is identical to entering "domus", "Domus" or even "DoMUs". Boolean Searches For more control over the search query, you can use a boolean expression. If you enter the word or between two search words (with a space between each word and the "or") it will find any line which contains either the first word, or the second word, or both. For example, "aeneas or dido" would find lines containing the word "aeneas" or the word "dido", or both. If instead of the word or you entered and it would match only lines which contained both the word "aeneas" and the word "dido". Note that this would be the same as a simple search for "aeneas dido" because if the boolean commands are omitted, it defaults to assuming an
Virgil Thomson's Writings
Essay by Karen L. CarterSchwendler for the International Alliance for Women in Music discusses perceived biases in Thomson's musical criticism toward women composers.
http://music.acu.edu/www/IAWM/articles/june95/thomson.html

Extractions: The concert reviews of the American composer, essayist, and music critic Virgil Thomson (1896-1989) are generally accepted as some of the best writing about music, indeed as models of good criticism. For Thomson, the career of critic involved cultivating a reputation as a strong-minded polemicist, a consummate promoter and interpreter of contemporary musical culture, and an articulate writer. He reviewed not only art music but also jazz, popular music, film music, theater, and books. Often, especially in his longer articles and books, he approached extra-musical topics in history, finance, and politics. From 1940 to 1954 Thomson was head music critic for the New York Herald Tribune , where his reviews and other articles appeared regularly during the concert season, from about October through April. Due to his popularity, reviews were reprinted in several book-length collections.1 Thomson's engaging prose style and polemical approach captured readers' interest and generated a response which was, if not thoroughly positive, certainly always lively, as is evident in a recently published collection of correspondence between Thomson and his readers.2 Thomson exerted undeniable influence on the New York musical scene and on his readers' views of music and musicians, particularly new American music. Over the years he became known for challenging the managerial policies of performing institutions such as the Metropolitan Opera and the New York Philharmonic which promoted a constricted repertory of largely 19th-century European "mainstream' works. He devoted increasing amounts of his reviewing space to performances of new music. In 1951, after ten years at the

Make a left and travel about 15 miles, and right smack in the start of the Flint Hills is Virgil, Kansas. This is a special place to me, mainly because my wife spent most of her life there.

http://users.erols.com/antos/dante/

Extractions: W elcome to the Dante and Virgil website, a study of the literary, personal, and theological relationship between Dante Alighieri and the ancient Roman poet Virgil, especially in Dante's Divine Comedy . As we'll see, Virgil was a profound influence on Dante in many ways, and this site attempts to explore them all. Your first time here? Here's a suggested course of action: first, get a little background on both characters by reading the first two sections. Then, see how Virgil fits into the Divine Comedy by reading the next three sections on Dante's choice of Virgil as a link to Homer , and a comparison of literary techniques Last, see what Virgil symbolized for Dante in the conlcuding section. And if you're still hungry for more, check out the art gallery for a sampling of the many works of art inspired by the Divine Comedy , especially depictions of Dante and Virgil together.

http://www.hq.nasa.gov/office/pao/History/Apollo204/zorn/grissom.htm

Extractions: -Gus Grissom (John Barbour et al Footprints on the Moon (The Associated Press, 1969), p. 125.) Lieutenant Colonel Virgil Ivan "Gus" Grissom had been part of the U.S. manned space program since it began in 1959, having been selected as one of NASA's Original Seven Mercury Astronauts. His second space flight on Gemini III earned him the distinction of being the first man to fly in space twice. His hard work, drive, persistence and skills as a top notch test pilot and engineer had landed him the title of commander for the first Apollo flight. Yet for Grissom, Apollo I was to be just the beginning. He had been told privately that if all went well, he would be the first American to walk on the moon. Although Grissom already had stacked up a very impressive list of career accomplishments, being first on the moon would be the ultimate achievement for the man who grew up in a small town during the lean years of the Great Depression. Virgil Ivan Grissom was born on April 3, 1926 in Mitchell, Indiana, a tiny Midwestern community of about three thousand residents tucked away in the southern half of the state. Virgil was the eldest of Dennis and Cecile Grissom's four children, which included two brothers, Norman and Lowell and one sister, Wilma. Dennis Grissom managed to hold on to his job at the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad in spite of the numerous layoffs which were going on all around him. Although they were far from being wealthy, Mr. Grissom's twenty-four dollar per week salary allowed his family to live comfortably in their white frame house in town.

http://www2.evansville.edu/ecoleweb/glossary/virgila.html

Extractions: Virgil of Arles A native of Gascony, St. Virgil became a monk at Lérins . Legends say that he became abbot, but his name is absent from the surviving lists of abbots. He was the abbot of St-Symphonien and was a friend of Gregory the Great , who rebuked him for his attempts to force conversion upon the Jews. Virgil was named metropolitan of Arles c. ; legends say that Gregory gave him the pallium. Bede says that Virgil consecrated Augustine of Kent archbishop at Gregory's request. Gregory named his friend apostolic vicar to the court of Childebert II (c. ). When Virgil died c. , he was buried at the monastery of St-Savior, which he founded. Many miracles were attributed to his intercession. Karen Rae Keck
