Hibbert joined the Red Hot Chili Peppers for a performance of "Louie Louie" during their New Year's Eve performance on 31 December 2011 held in St. Barts by Russian billionaire, Roman Abramovich. Around 300 guests including George Lucas, Martha Stewart, Marc Jacobs, and Jimmy Buffett attended the party at Abramovich's estate. In May 2013, Hibbert received a head injury after being hit by a thrown bottle during a performance at the River Rock Festival in Richmond, Virginia, U.S.
forcing him to cancel several months of live shows. The bottle was thrown by William C Lewis. Lewis was facing a charge of malicious wounding, but he pleaded guilty to lesser charges. Despite Hibbert pleading in a letter to the judge, "He is a young man, and I have heard what happens to young men in jail.My own pain and suffering would be increased substantially knowing that this young man would face that prospect," the judge gave Lewis a six-month sentence. After a three-year hiatus following the incident at the River Rock Festival, in 2016 Toots and the Maytals returned to the stage and began touring again. <mask>'s vocals appear in the Major Lazer and Bad Royale 2016 collaboration, "My Number", which samples his band's earlier song "54-46 That's My Number".

Sir <mask>  (6 July 1856 – 3 May 1937) was a late 19th-early 20th Century British soldier and General. He fought in the Second Boer War, and commanded the 6th Division and the VI Corps of the British Army on the Western Front during World War I. Early career
After receiving his early formal education at Wimbledon College, Keir studied at the Royal Military Academy, Woolwich, from where he received a commission into the Royal Artillery in February 1876. He was posted to a battery in India, and after six years was awarded his "jacket" and transferred into the Royal Horse Artillery. In 1884, promoted to captain, he returned to the Royal Field Artillery. He had become a skilled rider in the artillery, and whilst he was too heavy to compete in traditional horse-racing, he participated in point-to-point racing and similar events. After attending the School of Gunnery he entered the Staff College in 1892, and passed out, newly promoted to major, to command a field battery in England.Second Boer War
Keir later transferred back to the R.H.A., and was commanding a battery at the outbreak of the 2nd Boer War in October 1899. His unit was not sent out with the Expeditionary Force, and he remained at home during the early stages of the war. However, in early 1901 he was promoted to lieutenant-colonel and offered command of the 1st Battalion of the newly formed Imperial Yeomanry, volunteer mounted infantry being raised for service in South Africa. He commanded the battalion for several months along the Orange River, and in December 1901 was assigned to command the Royal Artillery Mounted Rifles, a similar force drawn from regular artillerymen; he remained with this unit until shortly before the end of the

 war, and received the brevet rank of colonel in the South Africa Honours list published on 26 June 1902. For his services in South Africa, he was mentioned in despatches (dated 8 April 1902) as well as awarded the Queen's medal with five clasps. Following the end of the war in June 1902, he returned to the United Kingdom in the ship S.S. Dunottar Castle, which arrived at Southampton in July 1902. 1902–1914
He had transferred back to the R.H.A.as a Lieutenant-Colonel in April 1902, and was posted to India, where he was formally promoted to Colonel and appointed an Assistant Adjutant-General. In 1907, he was given the command of a brigade at Allahabad, promoted to Major-General in 1909, and returned home in 1911. In July 1912 he was given command of the South Midland Division, part of the Territorial Force, and remained with them until July 1914, when he was transferred to take command of the 6th Division, a Regular Army formation at that time based in Ireland. First World War
Keir had hardly been in command of the 6th Division for a month when the World War I began, and it was mobilised as part of the British Expeditionary Force for service on the European Continent. However, the original plan of sending six divisions to France was altered due to fears of German landings in the United Kingdom, and the 6th Division spent the first month of the war in reserve in East Anglia. In September 1914 it landed in France, and immediately saw service at the Battle of the Aisne. Later in the year, he commanded it saw action at the Battle of Armentières.In mid-1915, <mask> was appointed to take command of the newly formed VI Corps (United Kingdom), which took part in the Battle of Loos in September 1915.

 December 1915 VI Corps was attacked by the Imperial German Army with phosgene gas, the first time this form of chemical warfare was used. On 8 August 1916 <mask> was relieved of command of VI Corps, whilst the official explanation for the move was given as being due to exhaustion or illness, the real cause was a personal dispute between <mask> and Edmund Allenby, his commanding general at the head of Third Army. Allenby was notorious for his overbearing command manner with subordinates, and had gained the nickname "the Bull" for his aggression amongst them. Keir had previously protested to Douglas Haig, the Commander-in-Chief of the Expeditionary Force, and as a result had acquired the sobriquet in Third Army of "the Matador" – i.e. the man who could handle "the Bull". However, Allenby later formally raised concerns with Haig about Keir's front-line dispositions of VI Corps in the line around Arras in August 1916, and Haig supported Allenby's assessment that Keir was an indifferent General (augmented by an inherent prejudice that Haig possessed towards older Generals, Keir having just turned 60), and despite Keir's threats to Haig to appeal to higher authority against the decision in England if he was deprived of his command in the field and forcefully returned home, protesting that he had been wronged by Allenby's action, Haig removed him thence.On return to England <mask> was side-lined and without a command, and spent the remainder of the war fulminating about the role of privileged "cavalry generals" (such as Haig and Allenby), who he argued held a disproportionate number of senior posts in the British Expeditionary Force compared to infantrymen, gunners and engineers.

 formally retired from the British Army in July 1918, and wrote and published a book detailing his thoughts for the post-war future of the British Army, entitled A Soldier's-Eye View (1919). In it he called for "a true National army", alongside reforms to create a "National church". His suggested reforms included cutting the size of the peace-time regular forces, alongside significant reductions in cavalry forces, and reorganising the home and colonial forces for better efficiency. More unusually, he also anticipated strong government control of labour in all spheres – a "national plan of personal service to the state" – and the creation of an "Army Senate" to oversee the organisation and governance of the National Army. The Senate would have both peacetime and wartime roles, and could serve as an advisory body akin to the War Cabinet during wartime. In retirement, he served as a Deputy Lieutenant and Justice of the Peace for Warwickshire.Death
Keir died at Leamington Spa in the county of Warwickshire, on 3 May 1937, at the age of 80. Awards
As well as his knighthood, which he had received with his promotion in 1915, he was awarded the Medaille Militare and appointed a Grand Officer of the Belgian Order of the Crown. Notes

He was a lecturer at University of Oxford from 1970 to 1977 and served as a professor of economics at the University of Warwick from 1978 to 1987. He taught from 1986 to 1993 at the London School of Economics, becoming the Sir John Hicks Professor of Economics.From 1994 until 1999 he was the Chief Economist and Special Counsellor to the President of the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development.

 appointed to conduct reviews on the economics of climate change and also of development, which led to the publication of the Stern Review.At the time, he ceased to be a second permanent secretary at the Treasury though he retained the rank until retirement in 2007; the review team he headed was based in the Cabinet Office. It was reported that <mask>'s time at the Treasury was marked by tensions with his boss, Gordon Brown:

... several Whitehall sources told The Times that Mr Brown did not like some of the advice he received from Sir <mask>, including some "home truths" about long-term trends in the economy and he never broke into the chancellor's tight-knit inner circle. ... He subsequently lacked a real role and spent most of his time working on major international reports on global warming and alleviating poverty in Africa. His doom-laden report on the risks of failing to address climate change, published in October, caused tensions within the Government by triggering a debate on environmental taxes and leading to calls for big policy changes. The Stern Review (2005—2006)
The Stern Review Report on the Economics of Climate Change was produced by a team led by <mask> at HM Treasury, and was released in October 2006. In the review, climate change is described as an economic externality, which is a type of market failure.<mask> has subsequently referred to the climate change externality as the largest ever market failure:

Climate change is a result of the greatest market failure the world has seen. The evidence on the seriousness of the risks from inaction or delayed action is now overwhelming ... The problem of climate change involves a fundamental failure of markets: those who damage others by emitting greenhouse gases generally do not pay

Regulation, carbon taxes and carbon trading, along with pollution permits and property rights, are recommended to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. It is argued that the world economy can lower its greenhouse gas emissions at a significant but manageable cost. The review concludes that immediate reductions of

 greenhouse gas emissions are necessary to reduce the worst risks of climate change. The review's conclusions were widely reported in the press. <mask>'s relatively large cost estimates of 'business-as-usual' climate change damages received particular attention.These are the estimated damages that might occur should no further effort be made to cut greenhouse gas emissions. There has been a mixed reaction to the Stern Review from economists. Several economists have been critical of the review, for example, a paper by Byatt et al. (2006) describes the review as "deeply flawed". Some have supported the Review,
 while others have argued that <mask>'s conclusions are reasonable, even if the method by which he reached them is incorrect. The Stern Review team has responded to criticisms of the review in several papers. <mask> has also gone on to say that he underestimated the risks of climate change in the Stern Review.<mask>'s approach to discounting has been debated amongst economists. The discount rate allows economic effects occurring at different times to be compared. <mask> used a discount rate in his calculation of the effects of "business-as-usual" climate change damages. A high discount rate reduces the calculated benefit of reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Using too low a discount rate wastes resources because it will result in too much investment in cutting emissions (Arrow et al., 1996, p. 130). Too high a discount rate will have the opposite effect, and lead to under-investment in cutting emissions. Most studies on the damages of climate change use a higher discount rate than that used in the Stern Review.Some economists support Stern's choice of discount rate (Cline, 2008; Shah, 2008 Heal, 2008) while others are critical (Yohe and Tol, 2008; Nordhaus, 2007). Another criticism of the Stern Review is that it is a political rather than an analytical document. Writing in the Daily Telegraph newspaper, columnist Charles Moore compared the Stern Review to the UK Government's "dodgy dossier" on Iraqi weapons of mass destruction. 2007—present

<mask><mask> (January 17, 1934 – October 12, 2020) was a civil liberties attorney and Democratic member of the Virginia House of Delegates. On April 10, 1967, appearing with co-counsel Philip Hirschkop on behalf of the ACLU, <mask> presented oral argument for the petitioners in Loving v. Virginia before the U. S. Supreme Court. On June 12, 1967, the Supreme Court ruled in favor of <mask>'s clients, declaring bans on interracial marriage unconstitutional, thus invalidating the anti-miscegenation laws of 15 states. Early life and career
<mask> was born in Brooklyn, New York, the son of an immigrant Jewish fur worker who was active in a local union. In an interview, <mask> associated his father's union activities with his own respect for working people and his status as a historically oppressed minority as an impetus for furthering equal rights. He attended City College of New York, and law school at Georgetown University. In the 1960s he helped found the Virginia unit of the American Civil Liberties Union.<mask> died at age 86 on October 12, 2020. Loving vs. Virginia
On April 10, 1967, only a few years out of law school, <mask> argued as a volunteer cooperating attorney for the ACLU on behalf of the petitioners Richard and Mildred Loving in the case of Loving v. Virginia before the Supreme Court of the United States. <mask>'s co-counsel was fellow Virginian Philip Hirschkop, who had also recently completed law school at Georgetown. Richard Loving was a white construction worker, and Mildred was of both black and native American origins according to her attorneys, though in 2004 she claimed Native American-Rappahannock and not African ethnic origins. They were married in Washington, D.C., in 1958, and after returning to their home in Caroline County, Virginia, six weeks after their marriage, they were arrested and charged with violating interracial marriage laws, a felony

From 1980 to 1996, <mask> served as a representative to the Virginia House of Delegates. Work with the Virginia House of Delegates 21st district
As a freshman delegate in 1980, <mask> sponsored a controversial measure to decriminalize homosexuality in Virginia, a traditionally conservative state.Not surprisingly, the bill failed. Work with the Virginia House of Delegates 56th district
From January 12, 1983, to January 10, 1996, <mask> served as a representative of the 56th district of the Virginia House of Delegates. The 56th district consisted largely of the city of Alexandria, not far from the nation's capital. Nuclear freeze resolution, 1983
In early 1983, <mask> backed a nuclear freeze resolution before the Virginia State Senate Rules Committee, which ultimately was voted down 10-4 on February 8. <mask>'s resolution decried the "huge sums of money being spent testing, producing, and deploying nuclear warheads and weapons" and the strain it placed on the rest of the federal budget. It further called for bi-lateral talks between the U.S. and the Soviet Union to begin a freeze on the production of such weapons. The chief critic of the bill was <mask>. Halloran, a special assistant to the U.S. Arms Control and Disarmament Agency.Many of <mask>'s bills were not related to civil liberties, but were designed to favor defendants or plaintiffs in legal proceedings and were written in complex legal language. A large number of <mask>'s bills were designed to benefit people who filed personal injury cases in Virginia courts. Death with dignity bill, 1983

 whether they wanted to go through "heroic artificial means to keep their bodies alive when there was no hope of recovery". On February 21, 1983, the Virginia Senate passed the "Natural Death Act", which relieved physicians of criminal and civil liability once they, with the consent of the terminally ill patient or that person's family, disconnected regulators." The bill required that the patient be in terminal condition, and that there must be "no reasonable expectation of recovery". Doctors who felt they could not morally comply with the wishes of the terminally ill patient or family member to disconnect the patient's regulator could transfer the care of the patient to another doctor.In February 1984, <mask> strongly opposed a bill that prevented young men who had not registered with the selective service from attending state colleges and receiving financial aid. The bill passed the Virginia House with a vote of 67-33, but had yet to be brought before the Virginia Senate. <mask> co-authored a blog entry in 2007 for the Huffington Post about the legal standing of same sex marriage. Portrayal in television and movies
<mask> has been portrayed as a character in multiple dramatizations of the Loving case. In the 1996 TV movie Mr. & Mrs. Loving, he was played by Corey Parker. In the 2016 film Loving, he is played by Nick Kroll. References

He was an original member of the British folk rock band Fairport Convention from 1967 to 1969 before leaving to form his own band, Matthews Southern Comfort, which had a UK number one in 1970 with a cover version of Joni Mitchell's song "Woodstock". In 1979 his cover of Terence Boylan's "Shake It" reached No. 13 on the US charts. Born in Barton-upon-Humber, Lincolnshire, <mask> was known in the 1960s as Ian MacDonald, but changed his name to <mask> (his mother's maiden name) in 1968 to avoid confusion with Ian McDonald of King Crimson, with whom Judy Dyble  began working when she left Fairport. In 1989, he changed the spelling of his first name to <mask> and has been known as <mask> ever since. Influenced by both rock and roll and folk music, he has performed as both a solo artist, and as a member of various bands.He was a member of Fairport Convention during the early period when they were heavily influenced by American folk rock and sang on their first three albums before leaving in 1969. He initially embarked upon a solo career before forming the bands Matthews Southern Comfort and then Plainsong. Later in his career he was also a member of the bands Hi-Fi, No Grey Faith, and More Than A Song, and in the 2000s has twice revived both Plainsong and Matthews Southern Comfort (MSC). He continues to tour regularly with the current version of MSC. A new MSC album "The New Mine" was released in March 2020, and a vinyl-only

During the British pop music explosion of the mid-1960s, he sang with several local bands in Scunthorpe and then moved to London in the spring of 1965, taking a job in a Carnaby Street shoe shop, Ravel. In 1966 he formed a trio, The Pyramid (later just Pyramid), a short-lived English surf music band, with Al Jackson and Steve Hiett (born 1940, died 2018), who later became a world-renowned fashion photographer. The Pyramid released one single, "Summer of Last Year" in January 1967, on Deram Records. A remaining song, "Me About You," surfaced on Matthews' Orphans & Outcasts Volume 3 compilation album in 1999. Fairport Convention
In the winter of 1967, <mask> was recruited by Ashley Hutchings as a male vocalist for Fairport Convention, where he sang with Judy Dyble on their self-titled first album Fairport Convention and then with Sandy Denny on What We Did On Our Holidays. During the recording of Unhalfbricking in 1969, as Fairport increasingly drew their material from a

 traditional British folk repertoire, <mask> found out he had not been invited to a recording session and, after a short discussion with producer Joe Boyd and Ashley Hutchings, left the band and departed on a musical direction of his own.Matthews Southern Comfort

In 1969 <mask> recorded his debut solo album,  <mask>' Southern Comfort, which was rooted in American country music and rockabilly. He made the album with ex-Fairport colleagues Richard Thompson, Simon Nicol and Ashley Hutchings, plus guitarist Mark Griffiths, drummers Ray Duffy and Gerry Conway, pedal steel guitarist Gordon Huntley, and keyboardists Dolly Collins and Roger Coulam. This was his first significant experience as a songwriter, although the band did also cover versions of Neil Young and Ian and Sylvia songs. He followed it up by forming a working band, Matthews Southern Comfort (using the name of his first album, but without the apostrophe), releasing two more albums in short succession, Second Spring (1970 – UK #52) and Later That Same Year (1970). The band went through various different line-ups and toured extensively for the next two years. They had one commercial success, a cover version of "Woodstock"  by Joni Mitchell which was a number one hit single in the UK Singles Chart in October 1970. It received heavy airplay in Canada, reaching No.5, as well as peaking at No. 23 on the Billboard singles charts in the United States in 1971. Afterwards, <mask> left Southern Comfort, who went on to release three albums of their own on

 Harvest Records. Plainsong
In 1971, <mask> recorded two solo albums (If You Saw Thro' My Eyes & Tigers Will Survive), on Vertigo Records. Under the sponsorship of former Yardbird Paul Samwell-Smith, and surrounded by likeminded British semi-folkies (notably another ex-Fairporter, Richard Thompson), he formed Plainsong with Andy Roberts, previously of The Liverpool Scene. The band's line-up consisted of <mask>, Roberts, guitarist Dave Richards and American bassist Bob Ronga. In 1972 Plainsong released In Search of Amelia Earhart.The album included a cover of Dave McEnery's "Amelia Earhart's Last Flight", plus a song by <mask>, "True Story of Amelia Earhart's Last Flight". The song is based on research that suggests that Earhart may have been spying on Japanese bases in the Pacific islands. It also included "Even the Guiding Light", an answer to Thompson's "Meet on the Ledge". Moving around
After Plainsong collapsed due to a bandmate's alcohol problem, and with his career now based in Los Angeles, <mask> released several more albums with ad hoc bands: Valley Hi (1973), produced by Michael Nesmith, (formerly of the Monkees); Journeys from Gospel Oak and Some Days You Eat The Bear (1974); Go For Broke (1976) and Hit and Run (1977). None of these met with commercial success. Valley Hi featured a cover of the Steve Young song Seven Bridges Road, arranged by <mask> and Nesmith, creating a multitracked harmony with all parts sung by <mask>. This version became famous after being covered live by the Eagles on

 28 July 1980 and released on Eagles Live.With lack of success on his albums, <mask> went from Elektra to Columbia Records, to the small Rockburgh label, where he scored a hit single in 1978 with a cover of Terence Boylan's "Shake It", which reached No. 13 on the US charts and No. 6 in Canada. He had a moderately successful follow-up covering Robert Palmer's "Give Me an Inch". However, the North American rights for his album Stealin' Home and its follow-up Siamese Friends were held by the small Canadian label Mushroom. When label-owner Shelly Siegel died in 1979, <mask>' association with that label came to an end. The song "Shake It" is heard at the beginning of the 1980 movie Little Darlings.It can also be heard on the radio in the game The Warriors from Rockstar Games. <mask>' official web site states that at this point he "had been struggling for nearly 15 years now and was still living hand to mouth, with nothing to show for his efforts but a string of out-of-print albums, and the loyalty of those musicians and fans who shared his vision." He moved from Los Angeles to Seattle, where he teamed up with David Surkamp, formerly of the St. Louis band Pavlov's Dog, to form the power pop band Hi-Fi, whose repertoire included <mask>' originals, but also covers of Neil Young's "Mr. Soul" and Prince's "When You Were Mine". He worked in an A&R capacity at Island Records and then Windham Hill Records. Later career

This led to Walking a Changing Line (1988) on Windham Hill, a tribute to Jules Shear of Jules and the Polar Bears. <mask> then moved to Austin, Texas and recorded several albums for a series of German independent labels. He appeared with Andy Roberts at the 1992 Cambridge Folk Festival, which led to the first of what became several changed versions of Plainsong. In 2000 <mask> moved to Amsterdam, where he became involved in independent music projects and collaborations, including the Sandy Denny tribute band No Grey Faith (an anagram of "Fotheringay," which was the name of the castle in which Mary, Queen of Scots was imprisoned, as well as the title of a song about the castle that Denny had recorded for Fairport Convention, and the name of a short-lived band Denny had led in the 1970s), and another revival of Plainsong. Moving to Horst in the south of the Netherlands, in 2008 he produced Joy Mining with the Dutch jazz ensemble, Searing Quartet. In September 2010, he released the first Matthews Southern Comfort album in 40 years and returned to a major record label.Since 2003 <mask> has worked with Dutch pianist and composer Egbert Derix.

In Clayton’s preface to the book, he tells of one day in 2010 getting an email out of the blue from <mask> who had read the original version of his book Bringing It all Back Home, a work described by Record Collector magazine as "One of the best books about popular music ever written". <mask> told Clayton that he was considering publishing an autobiography and asked him if he would consider writing it. Several years went by before the project eventually came to fruition, though not as a straightforward biography but as co-written book based on multiple sessions of working together for several days at a time to capture all the information and memories. Thro’ My Eyes: A Memoir was published by Pontefract-based Route Publishing in August 2018 in two editions: a Standard Edition and a Deluxe Edition which also included Thro’ My Eyes, an exclusive 2CD compilation of 23 songs from throughout <mask>’ career. The book is a very open and honest account of <mask>’ life and musical career: from his humble beginnings in Barton-on Humber and Scunthorpe, to moving to London in the 1960s and joining Fairport Convention, forming Matthews Southern Comfort in 1970 and having his only #1 hit with their version of Joni Mitchell’s "Woodstock", forming Plainsong with Andy Roberts in 1972, spending years in America as a solo artist and then coming back to Europe in 2000 and still making albums and touring to this day.Each chapter

A live concert recording of Plainsong in Paris in 2007 reveals him telling the audience that the words of his song "Busby's Babes" from the 1990 album Pure And Crooked are proudly displayed in the Manchester United Museum. <mask> and Clayton promoted the book in 2019 by undertaking a concert tour of selected venues in the UK. Entitled "Words And Music", the tour covered some 11 venues in England and Scotland at which both <mask> and Clayton talked about various episodes from the book and <mask> performed live as solo artist; he was joined on stage for one night of the tour by former Plainsong bandmate Andy Roberts, at The Greys in Brighton.

The name Reger-Chor was chosen in 1988, when the next project was dedicated to the German premiere of Joseph Jongen's Missa op. 111. Later projects included

 one of the first performances in Germany of Rutter's Requiem, recorded on the Reger-Chor's first CD in 1990. In 2001 an international collaboration began with the organist Ignace Michiels, bringing together an almost equal number of singers from Flanders and the Rhein-Main Region to perform an annual concert both in Germany and Belgium. In 2003 he conducted the premiere of the organ version of Reger's Der 100. Psalm by François Callebout.In addition to works by Reger, Dessauer chose rarely-performed church music by composers such as Herbert Howells, Benjamin Britten, Herbert Sumsion, Maurice Duruflé, Edward Elgar, Frederick Delius, William Lloyd Webber, Jules Van Nuffel, Joseph Ryelandt, Andrew Carter, Kurt Hessenberg, Rupert Lang, Morten Lauridsen, and Eric Whitacre. In 2015 he conducted Bach's Missa of 1733 in B-minor in the newly-edited parts for the Dresden court, with members of the orchestra of the Hessisches Staatstheater Wiesbaden. Choral projects

In 1999 Dessauer collaborated with Ignace Michiels, organist of St. Salvator's Cathedral in Bruges, in a joint project to bring a century of violence to a close. The same programme was performed in both Bruges and Wiesbaden by the Cantores and Chor von St. Bonifatius choirs, with Michiels playing the organ and <mask> conducting. The concert in Bruges on 23 October 1999 was named Eeuw van zinloos Geweld (Century of meaningless violence) and expressed it using Maurice Duruflé's Prélude et Fugue sur le nom d'Alain, Jules Van Nuffel's , Jehan Alain's Litanies, Rudolf Mauersberger's Wie liegt die Stadt so wüst, Gerald Hendrie's Exsultate from the sonata In praise of reconciliation, and Duruflé's Requiem. The Wiesbaden concert

 was called Versöhnungskonzert zum Ende des Jahrhunderts (Concert of reconciliation at the end of the century). In 1995 Dessauer prepared the choir for a memorial concert commemorating the 50th anniversary of the end of World War II.On 8 May 1995, Britten's War Requiem was performed in a ceremony of the government of Hesse at the Kurhaus Wiesbaden, with choirs from countries who were opponents during the war: the Swindon Choral Society from Swindon, UK, the Macon Civic Chorale from Macon, Georgia, and the Schiersteiner Kantorei conducted by Martin Lutz. A year later they took part in a performance of the work with similar forces in Macon. In November 2009 Dessauer again performed Duruflé's Requiem, this time with a choir of volunteers who wanted to commemorate the Holocaust in a Gedenkkonzert gegen Antisemitismus, or a concert against Antisemitism. Janina Moeller sang the mezzo-soprano solo, and Petra Morath-Pusinelli was the organist. In November 2015 Dessauer was the organist for a sing-along organised by the Diocese of Limburg in St. Bonifatius. A choir of 150 volunteers studied <mask>'s Requiem and performed it as part of the Wiesbadener Bachwochen festival. As a contrast, Dessauer performed Olivier Latry's Salve Regina organ meditations, in which, according to a reviewer, he made the listener feel "...the complete cosmos of humanity, including the cruelty and violence, from which this prayer asks for salvation from" ("den gesamten Kosmos des Menschlichen nachempfinden ließ, einschließlich der Grausamkeit und Gewalt, aus der in diesem Gebet um Errettung gebeten wird").Recordings

Copenhagen: Museum Tusculanum Press, 1997, excerpts available online here. <mask> IV may have been the son, grandson, or stepson of his predecessor, the powerful <mask> III.His reign started with a seemingly peaceful two-year coregency with <mask> III. He undertook expeditions in the Sinai for turquoise, in Upper Egypt for amethyst, and to the Land of Punt. He also maintained trade relations with Byblos as well as continuing the Egyptian presence in Nubia. <mask> IV built some parts of the temple of Hathor at Serabit el-Khadim in the Sinai, and constructed the well-preserved temple of Renenutet in Medinet Madi. The tomb of Amenemhat IV has not been identified, although the Southern Mazghuna pyramid is a possibility. Amenemhat IV was succeeded by Sobekneferu, who may have been his sister or stepsister; she was a daughter of <mask> III. Her reign marked the end of the Twelfth Dynasty

 and the beginning of the Middle Kingdom's decline into the Second Intermediate Period.Family

<mask> IV's mother was a woman named Hetepi. Hetepi's only known attestation is an inscription on the wall of the temple of Renenutet at Medinet Madi, where she is given the title of "King's Mother", but not the titles of "King's Wife", "King's Daughter", or "King's Sister". However, this does not mean she was not a wife of <mask> III, as she would have dropped all her other titles by the time her son came to the throne. The relationship of <mask> IV to Amenemhat III is debated. <mask> IV was the son of Amenemhat III according to Manetho, but given the age gap of 84 years, some historians believe he was a grandson. However, Neferuptah, the only sister who was older than Sobekneferu, died before Amenemhat IV's birth, since Sobekneferu is mentioned as the heir presumptive during her father's reign; thus, she cannot be Amenemhat's mother. There is no record of another son of <mask> III; had he existed, he would have become the heir after Amenemhat IV's passing, not Sobekneferu.Manetho states that <mask> IV married his sister Sobekneferu, who is identified as a royal daughter of <mask> III, and who eventually became king in her own right upon the death of <mask> IV. However, Manetho's claim about the marriage has not been proven correct; Sobekneferu is not known to have borne the title of "King's Wife" among her other titles. Egyptologist Kim Ryholt has alternatively proposed that <mask> IV was a son of Hetepi's earlier husband, and was adopted by <mask> III, thus becoming Sobekneferu's stepbrother – which could explain the

 Manethonian tradition. More plausibly, <mask> IV may have died without a male heir, which could explain why he was succeeded by Sobekneferu. Some Egyptologists, such as Aidan Dodson and Kim Ryholt, have proposed that the first two rulers of the Thirteenth Dynasty, Sobekhotep I and <mask> Sonbef, might have been his sons outside the royal line. Reign

<mask> IV first came to power as a junior coregent of his predecessor <mask> III, whose reign marks the apex of the Middle Kingdom period. The coregency is well attested by numerous monuments and artefacts where the names of the two kings parallel each other.The length of this coregency is uncertain; it could have lasted from one to seven years, although most scholars believe it was only two years long. The Turin Canon, a king list redacted during the early Ramesside period, records <mask> IV on Column 6, Row 1, and credits him with a reign of 9 years, 3 months and 27 days. <mask> IV is also recorded on Entry 65 of the Abydos King List and Entry 38 of the Saqqara Tablet, both of which date to the New Kingdom. In spite of the Turin canon, the duration of <mask> IV's reign is uncertain. It was given as eight years under the name Ammenemes in Manetho's Aegyptiaca. In any case, <mask> IV's rule seems to have been peaceful and uneventful. <mask> IV is well attested by contemporary artefacts, including a number of scarab- and cylinder-seals.Expeditions and foreign relations
Four expeditions to the turquoise mines of Serabit el-Khadim in the Sinai are dated to his reign by in-situ inscriptions. The latest took place in his ninth year on the throne and could be the last

 expedition of the Middle Kingdom, since the next inscription dates to Ahmose I's reign, some 200 years later. In his 2nd regnal year, <mask> IV sent another expedition to mine amethyst in the Wadi el-Hudi in southern Egypt. The leader of the expedition was the assistant treasurer Sahathor. Farther south, three nilometer records are known from Kumna in Nubia that are explicitly dated to regnal years 5, 6, and 7, showing that Egyptian presence in the region was maintained during his lifetime. During his reign, important trade relations must have existed with the city of Byblos on the coast of modern-day Lebanon, where an obsidian and gold chest as well as a jar lid bearing <mask> IV's name have been found. A gold plaque showing <mask> IV offering to a deity may also originate there.In 2010, a report on continuing excavations at Wadi Gawasis on the Red Sea coast notes the finding of two wooden chests and an ostracon inscribed with a hieratic text mentioning an expedition to the fabled Land of Punt in regnal year 8 of Amenemhat IV, under the direction of the royal scribe Djedy. Two fragments of a stela depicting <mask> IV and dating to his regnal year 7 were found at Berenice on the Red Sea. Building activities
<mask> IV completed the temple of Renenutet and Sobek at Medinet Madi that had been started by Amenemhat III,Edda Bresciani, Antonio Giammarusti: Sobek's double temple on the hill of Medinet Madî, Les Dossiers d'archéologie (Dijon) A. 2001, n° 265, pp. 132–140, see also  which is "the only intact temple still existing from the Middle Kingdom" according to Zahi Hawass, former Secretary-General of Egypt's

 Supreme Council of Antiquities (SCA). The foundations of the temple, administrative buildings, granaries, and residences were uncovered by an Egyptian archaeological expedition in early 2006. It is possible that Amenemhat IV built a temple in the northeastern Fayum at Qasr el-Sagha.<mask> IV is responsible for the completion of a shrine at the temple of Hathor in the Sinai  and may also have undertaken works in Karnak where a pedestal for a sacred barque inscribed with the names of Amenemhat III and Amenemhat IV was found in 1924.Maurice Pillet: Rapport sur les travaux de Karnak (1923–1924), ASAE 24, 1924, p. 53–88, available onlinePhotos of the pedestal

Legacy
Less than ten years after <mask> IV's death, the Twelfth Dynasty came to an end and was replaced by the much weaker Thirteenth Dynasty. Although the first two rulers of this new dynasty may have been sons of Amenemhat IV, political instability quickly became prevalent and kings rarely ruled beyond a couple of years. The influx of Asiatic immigrants in the Nile Delta that had started during the reigns of <mask> IV's predecessor accelerated under his own reign, becoming completely unchecked. Under the Thirteenth Dynasty, the Asiatic population of the Delta founded an independent kingdom ruled by kings of Canaanite descent, forming the Fourteenth Dynasty that reigned from Avaris. Approximately 80 years after the reign of <mask> IV, "the administration [of the Egyptian state] seems to have completely collapsed", marking the start of the Second Intermediate Period. Tomb

The tomb of Amenemhat IV has not been identified. Nonetheless, he often is associated

 with the ruined Southern Mazghuna pyramid.No inscriptions have been found within the pyramid to determine the identity of its owner, but its architectural similarity with the second pyramid of Amenemhat III at Hawara has led Egyptologists to date the pyramid to the late Twelfth Dynasty or early Thirteenth Dynasty. Less likely, Amenemhat IV could have been interred in <mask> III's first pyramid in Dahshur, since his name has been found on an inscription in the mortuary temple. At Dahshur, next to the pyramid of Amenemhat II, the remains of another pyramid dating to the Middle Kingdom were discovered during building work. The pyramid has not yet been excavated, but a fragment inscribed with the royal name "Amenemhat" has been unearthed. It is possible that this pyramid belongs to Amenemhat IV, although there are also kings of the Thirteenth Dynasty that bore the name Amenemhat and who could have built the pyramid. Alternatively, the relief fragment could have originated at the nearby pyramid of Amenemhat II. See also

<mask> (born May 12, 1941) is an American classical musician. While mostly known as an organist, <mask> is also a harpsichordist, pedal harpsichordist, pianist, fortepianist, composer, conductor, writer, and teacher. A specialist in music of the Baroque period, particularly the works of Johann Sebastian Bach, <mask> considers himself to have played an important role in the movement towards historically informed performance. He has collaborated with noted musicians such as Kathleen Battle, Julius Baker, Itzhak Perlman, Eugenia Zukerman, Jean-Pierre Rampal, Leonard Bernstein, Michala Petri and Wynton Marsalis for whom he arranged and conducted In Gabriel’s Garden, the most popular classical record of 1996. Early life
<mask> was born in Los Angeles, California. His father was a lawyer and his mother was a professional dancer and an amateur pianist. <mask> started playing the piano by ear at age four and could read music before he could read words.He was five when he first heard the music of J.S. Bach (the fifth Brandenburg Concerto) and was "delighted, elated and fascinated." At five he began piano lessons but decided to add organ after hearing his first Bach organ music (Toccata and Fugue in D minor). He had to wait until he was ten to begin organ lessons because before then his feet would not reach the pedals. From the age of ten to seventeen he studied the organ with Richard Keys Biggs. At age seventeen <mask> went to Paris, France, to study at l'École Normale de Musique. His primary teachers were Pierre

 Cochereau (organ),  Madeleine de Valmalete (piano), and Marguerite Roesgen-Champion (harpsichord).He received a diplôme supérieur, with the commendations of the legendary pianist Alfred Cortot. <mask> returned to the United States and received a B.S. in 1963 from the Mannes School of Music having studied organ with Edgar Hilliar, piano with Edith Oppens and composition with William Sydemann. He worked as a teaching fellow at Boston University while studying composition with Leon Kirchner at Harvard University. He received his M.A. in composition from Harvard in 1966 and his doctorate in organ from Boston University in 1967 where he studied organ with George Faxon and composition with Gardner Read and Luciano Berio for whom he also served as teaching assistant. Professional life
<mask>'s professional debut, in which he played Bach organ works on the pedal harpsichord, took place at the Carnegie Recital Hall in New York in 1967.Of this performance The New York Times wrote, "His driving rhythms and formidable technical mastery...and intellectually cool understanding of the structures moved his audience to cheers at the endings." Based solely on the Times’ review, and without an audition, Columbia Records signed <mask> to a recording contract. Clive Davis, head of Columbia Records, took his cue from the prevailing anti-establishment sentiment among young people and <mask>'s long hair and interest in Zen meditation and marketed <mask> as a counterculture champion of Bach would could draw young audiences.

But <mask> did indeed draw young audiences as noted by Time magazine in a 1971 article in which they dubbed him the "high priest of the harpsichord." After recording twelve albums for Columbia Records <mask> left along with pianist André Watts, another of Davis' protégés, when Davis left Columbia in 1979. <mask> has gone on to make solo recordings for a variety of labels including Digitech, Excelsior, Helicon, Infinity Digital/Sony, Moss Music Group/Vox, Newport Classic, Second Hearing, Sheffield, Sine Qua Non, Sony, Deutsch Grammophon, and 903 Records.<mask> has recorded most of Bach's keyboard works on organ, harpsichord and piano as well as recording works of Scarlatti, Handel, and Couperin. On the fortepiano he has recorded the works of Beethoven and Mozart. As a conductor <mask> has led international orchestras such as the Madeira Festival Orchestra, the Brandenburg Collegium, and the English Chamber Orchestra. For thirty years, starting in 1968, while <mask> continued to record, concertize, compose, conduct and write, he taught music at The Juilliard School, Indiana University, and State University of New York at Purchase. Although initially intensely interested in composition, he became discouraged by the non-tonal music that was the focus of conservatory composition departments in the 1950s and '60s. He returned to composition in the 1980s and

 developed a post-modern compositional style that took over from where pre-atonal post-modernism left off. He makes use of musical archetypes from the 17th, 18th, and 19th centuries as well as 20th century archetypes he has devised himself with the intent making new but accessible music.<mask> has written music for a range of instruments including organ, harpsichord, orchestra, guitar, violin, cello, flute chamber ensemble, piano, choral music and opera. In 2011, <mask> released a 20-CD set of his most important compositions on 903 Records. <mask> is music director of Bach Works and Bedford Chamber Concerts, and is on the board of Musical Quarterly magazine. He is also music director at St. Matthews Church, Bedford New York. Baroque performance controversy
From the beginning <mask>'s interpretation of the music of J.S. Bach brought disdain from many musicians. His chosen tempos are generally extremely fast, and he often takes liberties with rhythm and ornamentation.<mask>'s argument in favor of his tempo is that what he calls the "traditional" approach to Bach began 100 years after Bach's death and is misguided by a mystique and reverence for the composer that results in performances which are slow, rhythmically restrained and without the vivification of ornamentation. In contrast, <mask>'s recordings of Bach have been considered "exciting" by some who are skeptical of the validity of his interpretations. In <mask>'s scholarly text, Bach and the Baroque, published in 1985 and revised in 1995, <mask> supports

 his performance of Baroque music with a thorough analysis based on contemporary 17th and 18th century sources. <mask> discusses how alterations to the written music - rhythmic variations such as rubato and notes inégales as well as improvised ornamentation - were common in Bach's time and that fast movements were played faster than has been traditionally accepted. Scholarly opposition to <mask>'s approach was led by Frederick Neumann who had long-held that notes inégales were limited primarily to French performance practice and that Bach, who traveled relatively little, would not have been exposed to this technique. In reviewing <mask>'s Bach and the Baroque in 1987 Neumann was at first somewhat gracious calling <mask> "...a splendid keyboard performer who can dazzle his audiences with brilliant virtuosic feats. He can, and often does, play faster than perhaps any of his colleagues, and shows occasionally other signs of eccentricity."However he takes <mask> to task for "careless scholarship" citing misuse of terms such as tactus and misinterpretation of Bach's notation. But his strongest objection is to <mask>'s defense of the use of notes inégales in the performance of Bach. Most of Neumann's complaints question the validity of <mask>'s sources. Music critics too have been of two minds about <mask>'s interpretations of Bach, as illustrated in the following excerpts from The New York Times:

"A hiccup effect, or a sudden pause…is it rubato or something else that Mr. <mask> applies…whatever it is, it lurches

 absurdly." "His use of rubato as a structural device is particularly subtle – tiny pauses at various key spots to isolate and define vertical blocks within a phrase"
"…his accents…startle, even outrage…it is like listening to someone who speaks your native language with breathtaking fluency but in a thick accent, sprinkled with outrageous mispronunciations." "His free use of rhythm to define larger phrase structures…does serve its purpose admirably in addition to adding a touch of drama to his performances." Over time <mask>'s fast tempos have become relatively common in the performance of Bach's works and his championing of the use of original instruments foreshadowed the historically informed performance movement in America by at least ten years.Personal life
At the age of 28, <mask> became a student of Zen Buddhism and has practiced meditation several hours a day since then. <mask> was a volunteer at the hospice unit of Stamford Hospital from 1995 to 2004. He is married to Rabbi Mary Jane <mask>. They have three sons. Discography

Later, in 1997, <mask> brought in another New Japan star, The Great Muta, as a mystery opponent to get revenge on Chono. Like Chono, Muta immediately turned on <mask>, spitting his mist in <mask>'s face before joining Chono in nWo Japan. During this time, <mask> also managed the Último Dragón.

This win temporarily unified the title with the eight championships of the J-Crown. Dragon lost the J-Crown to Jushin Thunder Liger in Japan, while remaining WCW Cruiserweight Champion.He lost that title in a rematch with Malenko at WCW's Clash of the Champions XXXIV supercard, after botched interference by <mask>.

On April 6, 1997, Hokuto retained the title against Madusa at Spring Stampede. The feud between Hokuto and Madusa culminated in a Title vs. Career match on June 15 at The Great American Bash won by Hokuto. Madusa was forced to "retire" due to a stipulation. This was the last time Hokuto ever appeared in WCW and the Women's Championship was apparently dropped, as it was never defended or mentioned again. <mask> also turned his attention to managing many of WCW's luchadores, taking both Psychosis and La Parka under his wing to feud with Dragon. Psychosis faced Dragon in a "Respect match" at the 1997 Great American Bash, losing by submission to the Dragon Sleeper.Later, when luchador Konnan joined the nWo, <mask> sent both Psychosis and La Parka after him in subsequent matches on Nitro, with both ending in defeat.

During this time, he had a few matches, which he won.His character was originally depicted as an eccentric tourist who would take photographs of everyone he encountered. In general, their team was a reminiscence of the Jackie Chan's and Chris Tucker's characters from the film Rush Hour. After being released by WCW in November 1999 (Bischoff was by then no longer with the company), <mask>, Bobby Walker, Hardbody Harrison and several African American wrestlers launched a racial discrimination lawsuit against AOL Time Warner. In the lawsuit, <mask> claimed wrongful dismissal. <mask> also said that he had been given a disrespectful gimmick and that his final salary—$160,000—was only half of the average pay for a wrestler at that time.
