Beowulf in old english?
sounds like a scandinavian language to me
not catching a word of it
Basically and off the top of my head
But never less while I have time and space, before I go on with the story, I think it will be good to tell you of the kind of people in the tale, who they were and what they did and what they wear. I will start with the Knight.
TY
seems no one knows who wrote beowulf
what do they call the age before the dark ages?
and the Irish saved history?
did the ice age touch the tropical rainforests? was it icy at the equator?
Probably los of people over a period of time, adding bits and combining bits, though there may have been a particular one who poilished up a version that was widely shared
The Roman Empire
Ireland in particular, and the fringes of the British Isles in general, mainained a degree of cultural continuity compared to the eastern and especially south-eastern areas.
As recall the ce ages compressed the climate znes, but didn't eliminate them. However, I think they did reduce rainfall. Certainly Africa, at least the areas relevant to human evolution, got drier during the period on glaciation and retreat (which may have been what facillitated human development).
The Roman Empire. Oops, I'm too late.
And regarding the "ice ages" There was a very early ice age called "Snowball Earth" that froze everything except the deep oceans or perhaps a small band around the equator. During that period of time apparently the very simple life that existed freaked out and collectively realized that it had to get it's shxx together or the whole game would be lost, so they developed a plan and began to congregate in groups leading to multi-cellular organisims and developed hard parts instead of just being squishy and began to actively prey on each other with claws jaws and beaks. When the ice evenutally melted due to massive volcanic eruptions, the newly minted organisms went riot and with an ever escalating arms race of weapons and defensive technologies, and rapid breeding methods repopulated and took over the denuded lands. The weaker creatures ran and screamed and the bad guy creatures roared and drooled and tore their victims to shreds for millions and millions of years. Leading eventually to the Roman Empire, then the Dark Ages. But the concept of running, screaming, hiding, pouncing, drooling, and tearing victims to shreds has been perfected to the point where it could all be over in a flash. Ain't evolution wonderful?
LG it's normally you posting links to major classical works, but I found this one on YouTube, and it is totally amazing version. She performs it at a different tempo to normal
Chinese-American female conductor, The National Orchestra of Wales The BBC National Chorus of Wales and the CBSO CHoir and some stunning soloists
The description I recall saud that the land was allmost all at the equator, so the oceans could cool but the land stayed mostly ice-free and so precipitiation continued to wash the CO2 out of the air, disolve rock with the weak carbonic acid that resulted, and deposit it in the ocean - thus allowing the greenhouse effect to decline greatly and ice to build up from the poles. After a while the freeze was bad enough that there was little precipitation and so the CO2 could build up and eventually raise the temperature enough to trigger a thaw.
thanks. didnt think sbout the co2 ramifications.
life needs the rainforest doing their photosynthesis thing to give oxygen
The original oygenation of the atomosphere was performed about wo billion years ago by microbes - there are bands of rocks full of rust where the initial build up was countered by oxidising iron from rocks. But trees do apparently do a good job of locking up CO2 - the polar ice caps, I gather, post date trees (other than the sbnowball Earth period and other special circumstances), I gather.
Maybe a bit in intonation and pitch, but I would say the way he's pronouncing the Rs is more similar to Finnish.
attic anne hasnt been around in a while, i pray she is okay.
Old English is almost completely unintelligible to modern English speakers. Chaucer is Middle English, and you get used to it after reading just a bit. Shakespeare is basically Modern English with some obsolete words and flowery style. Because Shakespeare wrote what was popular entertainment in his day, it is sprinkled with cultural references and jokes we don't quite get, but it's not a language difference. When I was studying Russian, I attempted to read Anna Karenina «Анна Каренина» in the original Russian. I couldn't get past the first chapter because pre-revolutionary Russian was so flowery.
i feel like i wasting this down time. studying a language seems a way to make this time not wasted.

Non-complaint: Music to DAZ by. I was pleasantly lucky to happen to browse YouTube this morning and caught nearly the beginning of a premier streaming event of a 2013 recorded performance of Rachmaninoff's 3rd Piano Concerto at the Concertgebouw in Amsterdam, played by Alexander Gavrylyuk (Gav-RILL-yuck). I have pointed out here, his playing at a performance of the same piece at the PROMs in the Albert Hall, but I'm always looking for more recordings of Gavrylyuk.
Why? Well, primarily because he is a returning guest instructor and performer every summer at the Chautauqua (sha-TA-kwa) Institutution just 20 miles away from here every summer and I heard him perform the Rachmaninoff Third Piano Concerto live in the Amphitheater at Chautauqua about the same year as this recording at the Concertgebouw. It was magical. A marvelous performance and the entire Chautauqua audience of thousands were on their feet instantly with loud cheers, bravos, stomping of feet, and slapping the backs of the wooden benches repeatedly until he had given us five
encores of amazing performances.
Also, I point out this Concertgebouw recording because of the conversations with the conductor and pianist at the beginning 20 minutes of the program. Excellent description of the nature of the piece and well worth listening to. I think it is summed up beautifully by the conductor as (paraphrased) "it is not just a difficult showpiece but represents a tortuous path from darkness to light" The pianist also goes on to explain the various major/minor stresses and the eventual ascent into the wonderous triumphant release of the finale that brings everybody to their feet.
One thing I've particularly noticed about this piece, especially when played by Gavrylyuk is my lack of awareness of when the orchestra drops out and I am still carried away by the piano alone, the complexity and fullness of the sound of just the piano having captured my whole attention. Then when performed properly, the orchestra comes back in unnoticed being lead by the piano but eventually all being in total balance at the glorious finish. I have heard this piece recorded by many orchestras and pianists, and several times live, but for me Gavrylyuk, despite (or perhaps because of) his gyrating, sweating, expressive histrionics imbues a power, clarity, appropriate speed, technical mastery and majesty to this wonderful piece. So many other currently famous panists play this piece but, for me, they all fail to convince me they really grok it like Gavrylyuk.
