<mask> (born William Sherille Levise, Jr.; February 26, 1945) is an American musician who has recorded more than 25 albums over more than four decades. Career
<mask> formed his first band, Tempest, when he was at Warren High School, and the group gained some notice playing at a Detroit soul music club called The Village. <mask> next appeared fronting a band named Billy Lee & The Rivieras, which had limited success until they met songwriter / record producer Bob Crewe. Crewe renamed the group <mask> & The Detroit Wheels, and they recorded several hit records for his DynoVoice Records and New Voice labels in the mid to late 1960s, most notably 1964’s "Devil with a Blue Dress On", their highest-charting single at number four, as well as "Jenny Take a Ride! ", which reached number 10 in 1965, and "Sock It to Me, Baby! ", a number six hit in 1967. The Detroit Wheels were John Badanjek on drums, Mark Manko on lead guitar, Joe Kubert (not to be confused with the comic book illustrator Joe Kubert) on rhythm guitar, Jim McCarty (not to be confused with the Yardbirds drummer of the same name) on lead guitar and Jim McAllister on bass.In December 1966, producer Bob Crewe's vision for <mask> as a blue-eyed soul singer backed by a horn band (a la Wilson Pickett, Joe Tex, etc.) was put into motion. They assembled a 10 piece band of white R&B musicians: from Baltimore, MD — Jimmy Wilson (trumpet), Bob Shipley (sax), Jimmy Loomis (sax), Don Lehnhoff (trombone), Frank Invernizzi (organ); from Chicago, IL — John Siomos (drums), Bob Slawson (guitar), Carmine Riale (bass guitar);j from Miami, FL, Andy Dio (trumpet); from New York — Johnny ? (lead guitar). The band

Redding and four members of his touring band, The Bar-Kays, died in a plane crash near Madison, Wisconsin the following day, December 10, 1967.<mask>'s musical endeavors would see less success after the early 1970s. <mask>'s participation with the Detroit Wheels ended just as the counterculture was becoming dominant in 1968. During 1968, trumpeters Mike Thuroff and John Stefan were hired to tour with his horn section and band. Thuroff and Stefan also recorded the trumpet parts of <mask>'s song, "Ring My Bell". This song was not permitted to be played by radio in many states due to its sexual innuendos. <mask> had one hit single from that period, a cover version of "What Now, My Love". His last successful ensemble band was Detroit.The only original Wheel in the group was the drummer John Badanjek; other members were guitarists Steve Hunter, Robert Gillespie, and Brett Tuggle, organist Harry Phillips, and bassist W.R. Cooke. A single album was released by this grouping, a 1971 self-titled LP issued on Paramount Records (US #176 in 1972). They had a hit with their version of the Lou Reed-penned song "Rock & Roll", which Reed liked enough to ask Steve Hunter to join his backing band. Reviewing <mask>'s 1978 LP How I Spent My Vacation, Robert Christgau wrote in Christgau's Record Guide: Rock Albums of the Seventies (1981): "What he

 remembers best, apparently, is sex with men, and the songs that result put across all the sin, fear, passion, love-and-hate, pleasure, and release that buggery seems to have involved for him. The lyrics sometimes lack coherence, and the music is a more sensitive version of the now outdated r&b-based guitar flash he favored with Detroit back in 1970. But the overall effect is revelatory." According to AllMusic (which calls <mask> "the unsung hero" of Michigan rock and roll), <mask> withdrew from music after experiencing throat trouble, moving to Colorado with his wife and taking up writing and painting.In 1983, <mask> returned to a major label with the John Mellencamp-produced album Never Kick a Sleeping Dog. The album featured a cover version of the Prince song "When You Were Mine", which was <mask>'s last score on the Billboard Hot 100. <mask> continues to record and tour in the United States and Europe. In 2005, <mask> & The Detroit Wheels were inducted into the Michigan Rock and Roll Legends Hall of Fame. In 2009, <mask> was inducted as a solo artist. On February 14, 2012, <mask> released The Promise, his first US release in almost 30 years. Personal life
<mask> spent his high school years in Warren, Michigan, a suburb north of Detroit.After many years living in Warren, and later Livonia, <mask> currently resides in northern Georgia. Influence
<mask> has influenced the music of such blue collar rock music artists as Bob Seger, John Mellencamp, and also Bruce Springsteen, whose version of the song "Devil With a Blue Dress" was part of the No Nukes concert album in the early 1980s. He has also been cited as a primary musical influence by Ted

 Nugent. Bruce Springsteen still plays his music on stage. The song titled "Detroit Medley" refers directly to the Detroit Wheels. Included in this medley are the songs, "Devil With a Blue Dress", "Jenny Take a Ride", "Good Golly Miss Molly" and "C.C. Rider".The medley from time to time blends in a variety of other songs, but this remains the core section, often featuring guitar solos from Springsteen and piano solos by Roy Bittan. Winona <mask>, the stage name of Winona Laura Horowitz, was inspired by <mask>'s music. <mask> has been credited by guitarist Steve Hunter for giving Hunter his first real break in rock and roll and introducing Hunter to producer Bob Ezrin. In 2017 he was inducted into the Rhythm & Blues Hall of Fame. Ritchie Blackmore acknowledged the influence of <mask> and the Detroit Wheels on the type of beat Deep Purple chose for their version of Kentucky Woman, the song by Neil Diamond. Discography

Marie-Joseph "<mask>" <mask> (; 26 January 18043 August 1857) was a French novelist. He was one of several authors who popularized the genre of the serial novel in France with his very popular and widely imitated The Mysteries of Paris, which was published in a newspaper from 1842 to 1843. Early life
<mask> was born in Paris. He was the son of a distinguished surgeon in Napoleon's army, Jean-<mask>, and had Empress Joséphine as his godmother. <mask> himself acted as surgeon both in the 1823 French campaign in Spain and at the Battle of Navarino in 1827. In 1829 his father's death put him in possession of a considerable fortune, and he settled in Paris. Literary career
His naval experiences supplied much of the materials of his first novels, Kernock le pirate (1830), Atar-Gull (1831), La Salamandre (2 vols., 1832), La Coucaratcha (4 vols., 1832–1834), and others, which were composed at the height of the Romantic movement of 1830.In the quasi-historical style he wrote Jean Cavalier, ou Les Fanatiques des Cevennes (4 vols., 1840) and Latréaumont (2 vols., 1837). His Mathilde (6 vols., 1841) contains the first known expression of the popular proverb "La vengeance se mange très-bien froide", translated in 1846 as "Revenge is very good eaten cold" by D.G. Osborne, also constituting the first known English usage of the proverb, and lately expressed in English as "Revenge is a dish best served cold". He was strongly affected by the socialist ideas of the day, and these prompted his most famous works, the "anti-Catholic" novels: The Mysteries of Paris (Les Mystères de Paris) (published in Journal des débats from 19 June 1842 until 15 October 1843) and The Wandering Jew (Le Juif

 errant; 10 vols., 1844–1845), which were among the most popular specimens of the serial novel. The Wandering Jew is a Gothic novel depicting the titular character in conflict with the villain, a murderous Jesuit named Rodin. These works depicted the intrigues of the nobility and the harsh life of the underclass to a wide public. Les Mystères de Paris spawned a class of imitations all over the world, the city mysteries.<mask>'s books caused controversy because of their strongly violent scenes, and also because of their socialist and anti-clerical subtexts. He followed up with some singular books: Les Sept pêchés capitaux (16 vols., 1847–1849), which contained stories to illustrate each of the seven deadly sins. Les Mystères du peuple (1849–1856)
was a long series of historical novels,  which was suppressed by the censor in 1857, and several others, all on a very large scale, though the number of volumes gives an exaggerated idea of their length. Les Mystères du peuple is a lengthy series of novels and novellas dealing with French history. Les Mystères du peuple begins with a novel graphically depicting slavery in the Roman Empire, (The Iron Collar). Other Les Mystères du peuple novels dealt with Early Christianity (The Silver Cross), King Clovis I (The Poniard's Hilt), the creation of the Duchy of Normandy (The Iron Arrow-Head), the Crusades in Palestine (The Pilgrim's Shell), the Albigensian Crusade (The Iron Pincers), the Jacquerie (The Iron Trevet), Joan of Arc (The Executioner's Knife) and the French Revolution (Sword of Honor). The novels were translated into English (as the "Mysteries of the People") and published in New York by Daniel De Leon and his son,

 Solon.Some of <mask>'s books, among them The Wandering Jew and The Mysteries of Paris, were dramatized by himself, usually in collaboration with others. His period of greatest success and popularity coincided with that of Alexandre Dumas, with whom he has been compared. According to Umberto Eco, parts of <mask>'s book Les Mystères du peuple served as a source for Maurice Joly in his Dialogue in Hell Between Machiavelli and Montesquieu, a book attacking Napoleon III and his political ambitions. The two are depicted in Will Eisner's cartoon book The Plot, co-authored with Eco. Political career
After the French Revolution of 1848, he was elected to the Legislative Assembly from the Paris-Seine constituency in April 1850. He was exiled from Paris in consequence of his protest against the French coup d'état of 1851. This exile stimulated his literary production.<mask> died in Annecy-le-Vieux, Savoy on August 3, 1857 and was buried at the Cimetière de Loverchy (Annecy) in the Non-Catholic's Carré des "Dissidents".

<mask> (September 29, 1921 – February 24, 2014) was the lead guitarist for Bill Haley & His Comets from 1954 to 1962, and is best remembered for his innovative guitar solos combining elements of country music and jazz. He composed the classics "Blue Comet Blues", "Goofin' Around", "Week End", "The Catwalk", and "Shaky" when he was the lead guitarist for Bill Haley and the Comets. He continued to perform with surviving members of the Comets into 2006. In 2012, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inducted <mask> as a member of the Comets by a special committee, aimed at correcting the previous mistake of not inducting the Comets with Bill Haley. Career

By the time <mask> became associated with Bill Haley, he had already had a lengthy career as a guitarist, having performed and recorded with the Benny Goodman Orchestra, which he joined in 1948, at a time Goodman was experimenting with music in the bebop idiom. He also worked with other big bands, with singer and former Goodman "bop band" pianist Buddy Greco and the Sharps, as well as with several country western groups. He played guitar on the 1947 single by Buddy Greco "Baby I'm True to You" backed with "How Many Times", released as Musicraft 569, and the 1948 single "Lillette" backed with "A Stranger in Town", as Musicraft 588.His guitar work influenced young musicians playing the same venues in the Philadelphia/Reading area where the Comets were based, among them the guitarist and future legendary comic-book writer-artist Jim Steranko. <mask> first worked with the Comets in fall 1954 as a session musician, replacing the recently deceased guitarist Danny Cedrone. <mask>'s

texts: first work with Haley was the single "Dim, Dim the Lights". <mask> had to be instructed to make his guitar solos less jazzy. "They wanted to play a more basic style than I was used to, more country really, they called it rockabilly." At the time <mask> began working for Haley's group, Haley did not employ a full-time lead guitarist who would also play on live shows and TV appearances (such duties were usually handled by Haley himself or steel guitarist Billy Williamson). In August 1955, <mask> appeared for the first time on national TV with the Comets performing "Rock Around the Clock", and soon afterward was promoted to a full-time member of the band, appearing with the group in the films Rock Around the Clock (1956) and Don't Knock the Rock (1956), as well as several other film appearances: in Germany in 1958, Hier bin ich - hier bleib' ich (Here I Am, Here I Stay) (1959) and in Mexico in the early 1960s, such as Jóvenes y rebeldes (1961) and Besito a Papa (1961).<mask> had the ability to send his voice into a high pitch (making it sound like that of a small child). This gimmick was used for the opening of the hit Haley single's "See You Later Alligator", "(You Hit the Wrong Note) Billy Goat" and "Rip It Up". According to Swenson, <mask> would also occasionally perform the voice during live shows, with Haley or Williamson humorously introducing him as a baritone. In 1959, Williamson and <mask> recorded a duet, "ABC Rock", in which <mask> sang two entire verses in his little-kid voice. In 1958, <mask> and the other Comets recorded under the name The Kingsmen, releasing several 45 singles for East West Records. The

The follow-up single was "The Cat Walk" backed by "Conga Rock", released as East West 120.<mask> left the Comets in 1960 in order to work with a spin-off group called the Merri-Men which released a 45 single on Apt Records, "Big Daddy"/"St. Louis Blues"; he returned to the group in 1961 only to leave again in 1962. A few months later, he agreed to sit in with the band for a live album recording session for Roulette Records (the album was entitled Twisting Knights at the Roundtable). After Haley's death in 1981, <mask> toured with a short-lived Comets reunion group. Finally, starting in 1987, the surviving members of the 1954-55 Comets reunited and proceeded to tour the world and make new recordings for the next two decades. <mask> performed with this group until July 2006, after which the group announced he had retired; although it was announced that the 85-year-old guitarist would tour Europe with the Comets in early 2007, this did not occur. Franny <mask>'s compositions included "Blue Comet Blues", "Goofin' Around", "Shaky", "Tampico Twist", "The Beak Speaks", "Hot to Trot", "Beecher Boogie Woogie", "Whistlin' and Walkin' Twist", "The Catwalk", and "Week End", which was a chart hit with The Kingsmen, reaching no.35, co-written with Rudy Pompilli and Billy Williamson. "Week End" was recorded and released as a single by rock guitarist Link Wray in September, 1963 as Swan S-4154.Sid Phillips and His Band released "Week End" as a 45 single in the UK in 1958 on His

With the Comets, <mask> <mask> played a black 1956 Gibson Les Paul Custom which was given to him by the Gibson Guitar Company, then based in Kalamazoo, Michigan. Gibson also gave Bill Haley a blonde 1956 Super 400 and a black 1956 Gibson L-7. The Les Paul Custom featured a pair of black single coil P-90 pickups, one of which was a bar magnet P-90. Earlier, he had played a Gibson L-5 acoustic with a cutaway body and a DeArmond pickup, as noted in Sound and Glory, page 100. He played an Epiphone Emperor when he was a member of the Benny Goodman band in 1948 and 1949, which he also played on the Ed Sullivan Show during a performance of "Rock Around the Clock".In the Mexican film Juventide y rebeldes (1961), he is playing either a Gibson ES-345 or ES-355 Stereo. His other guitars included a blonde 1959 ES-350T, which in his later years he no longer owned. He played a cherry sunburst Gibson ES-137 Classic in concerts and while touring. In October 2007, <mask> performed as a special guest of the Rib House Band at the Bridgeport Rib House in Bridgeport, Pennsylvania. With Benny Goodman
<mask> <mask> was the lead guitarist in the Benny Goodman Orchestra in 1948-49. He appeared on The Toast of the Town show (which later became The Ed Sullivan Show) on CBS television with the Benny Goodman band in December, 1948.

Among his compositional works, the choral work of humanistic and socio-environmental content "Psalms for the Earth" has been awarded the 2008 Composition Prize of the Brazilian Music Academy (II Prêmio Cláudio Santoro de Composição Musical, 2008); this work already explored higher  harmonic limits by employing  11-limit Just Intonation techniques. The work "Excerpt from Meditation"  (2009) continued that path, exploring in 19-limit Just-Intonation (through an unequal division of the octave in 120 parts). In 2010, <mask>'s orchestral Work "In Four Dimensions" was a winner of the Composition Prize  of the Brazilian National Foundation for the Arts (FUNARTE) , within the 2011 Biennale of Brazilian Contemporary Music being performed by the UFF National Symphony Orchestra. A continued exploration of Just-Intonation included experiments in  13-Limit J.I. such as "O Cravo Brigou com a Rosa" video+score
and a "commercial" soundtrack to "Potsdam in Time-Lapse" (2015) video. The problems of enharmony within J.I. systems led <mask> to an insight into the possibilities of 31 equal temperament, which allows for good approximation in higher  harmonic limits.This resulted in a collaboration  with the Huygens-Fokker Foundation within its Mikrofest 2015  at the Muziekgebow aan t'Ij in Amsterdam, with a performance of "Aphoristic Madrigals" for SATB soli and Fokker-Organ video+score by the ensemble Vokalprojekt 31, especially formed at this

<mask> (23 January 1921; ; also Leontovich) was a Ukrainian composer, conductor, ethnomusicologist and teacher. His music was inspired by <mask> and the Ukrainian National Music School. Leontovych specialised in a cappella choral music, ranging from original compositions, to church music, to elaborate arrangements of folk music. <mask> was born and raised in the Podolia province of the Russian Empire (now in Ukraine). He was educated as a priest in the Kamianets-Podilskyi Theological Seminary and later furthered his musical education at the Saint Petersburg Court Capella and private lessons with Boleslav Yavorsky. With the independence of the Ukrainian state in the 1917 revolution, <mask> moved to Kyiv where he worked at the Kyiv Conservatory and the Mykola Lysenko Institute of Music and Drama. He is recognised for composing Shchedryk in 1904 (which premiered in 1916), known to the English-speaking world as Carol of the Bells or Ring, Christmas Bells.He is known as a martyr in the Eastern Orthodox Ukrainian Church, where he is also remembered for his liturgy, the first liturgy composed in the vernacular, specifically in the modern Ukrainian language. He was assassinated by a Soviet agent in 1921. During his lifetime, <mask>'s compositions and arrangements became popular with professional and amateur groups alike across the Ukrainian region of the Russian Empire. Performances of his works in western Europe and North America earned him the nickname "the Ukrainian Bach" in France. Apart from his very popular Shchedryk, <mask>'s music is performed primarily in Ukraine and the Ukrainian diaspora. Biography

 community, near the village of Selevyntsi, in the Podolia province of Ukraine (then a part of the Russian Empire). His father, grandfather, and great grandfather were village priests.His father, Dmytro Feofanovych <mask>, was skilled at singing and playing cello, double bass, harmonium, violin, and guitar, in addition to directing a school choir. <mask> received his first musical lessons from him. His mother, Mariya Yosypivna Leontovych, was also a singer. Other members of <mask>'s family also grew up to have careers in music. His younger brother became a professional singer, his sister Mariya studied singing in Odesa, his sister Olena studied fortepiano at the Kyiv Conservatory, and his sister Victoriya also knew how to play several musical instruments. In the summer of 1879, Dmytro <mask> was moved to a new parish located in the village of Shershni in suburbs of Bar, Ukraine in Bar's district, where he would spend his childhood. Then, in 1887, Leontovych was admitted to Nemyriv gymnasium.Due to financial problems a year later, however, his father transferred him to the Sharhorod Spiritual Beginners School, whose pupils received full financial support. At the school, Leontovych mastered singing, and was able to freely read difficult passages from religious choral texts. Theological seminary

In 1892, <mask> began his studies at the theological seminary in Kamianets-Podilskyi, which both his father and grandfather had attended. His younger brother Oleksandr was enrolled as well, graduating two years after <mask>. During his studies there, Leontovych continued to advance his skills on the violin and learnt to play a variety of other instruments. He also participated in the

 seminary's choir, and when an orchestra was formed during his third year of study, Leontovych joined, playing the violin until his graduation. Leontovych studied music theory and started writing choral arrangements as a student at the seminary.When the seminary's choir director died, the school administration requested that <mask> take over this position. As the conductor of the choir, Leontovych added secular music to the repertoire of traditional church music. This included Ukrainian folk songs arranged by <mask> Lysenko, Porfyriy Demutskiy, and himself. Leontovych graduated from the Kamianets-Podilskiy Theological Seminary in 1899 and broke the family tradition by becoming a music teacher instead of a priest. Early musical career and family

At the time, a career in music in Ukraine meant having an unstable income, causing <mask> to seek employment wherever he could find it. Leontovych worked in Kyiv, Yekaterinoslav, and Podolia guberniyas over the next few years in order to remain gainfully employed. His first position after graduating was in a secondary school in the village of Chukiv (present-day Vinnytsia Oblast) as a vocal and maths teacher.During this time, <mask> continued to transcribe and arrange folk songs. He completed his First Compilation of Songs from Podolia and began working on his second compilation. He also inspired the children at the school to sing in the choir and play in the orchestra. He would later write a book about this as a professor at the Kyiv Conservatory, titled Як я організував оркестр у сільській школі (How I Organised an Orchestra in a Village School). After several conflicts with the school's administration, Leontovych got a new job as a

texts: teacher of church music and calligraphy at the Theological College in Tyvriv. Besides working with the college choir, Leontovych organised an amateur orchestra that often performed at college events. As he did earlier with choirs, Leontovych included arrangements of folk songs among the usual religious works sung in theological schools.These included arrangements by <mask> Lysenko, his own choral arrangements of folk songs, and entirely original works. One such work was based on a poem by Taras Shevchenko titled Зоре моя вечірняя (Oh My Evening Star). During this period, <mask> met a Volynhian girl named Claudia Feropontivna Zhovtevych, whom he married on 22 March 1902. The young couple's first daughter, Halyna, was born in 1903. They later had a second daughter named Yevheniya. Financial hardships prompted <mask> to accept an offer to move to the city of Vinnytsia to instruct at the Church-Educators' College. Again, he organised a choir and, later, a concert band, with which he performed both secular and spiritual music.In 1903, he published his Second Compilation of Songs from Podolia which he dedicated to <mask> Lysenko. In 1903 and 1904, during his vacation from the Church-Educators' College, Leontovych travelled to St. Petersburg. There, he attended lectures held at the St. Petersburg Court Capella, which was associated with composers Maksym Berezovsky, Dmytro Bortniansky, and Mikhail Glinka. He studied music theory, harmony, and polyphony with Semen Barmotin, and choral performance with Aleksey Puzyrevskiy, both of whom were well known at the time. On 22 April 1904, he earnt his credentials as a choirmaster of church choruses. Again, disputes with the administration of

 the college resulted in Leontovych's seeking new employment. In the spring of 1904, he left Podolia and moved to the Donbas province in eastern Ukraine, where he became a teacher of vocal and instrumental music in a school for railroad workers' children.During the Russian Revolution of 1905, <mask> organised a choir of workers that performed in meetings. These works included arrangements of Ukrainian, Jewish, Armenian, Russian, and Polish folk songs. <mask>'s activity caught the attention of local authorities, and in the spring of 1908, he was forced to move back to his native Podolia province to the city of Tulchyn. Tulchyn period
<mask>'s move to Tulchyn marked the beginning of a period of compositional maturity and major artistic achievements in the life of the composer. In Tulchyn, <mask> taught vocal and instrumental music at the Tulchyn Eparchy Women's College to the daughters of village priests. There, he met composer Kyrylo Stetsenko who was a student of <mask> Lysenko and also specialised in choral music. Stetsenko lived in a nearby village at the time where he was working as a priest, and their acquaintance developed into a lasting friendship that influenced <mask>'s music.Stetsenko was the first critic of <mask>'s music, saying, "<mask> is a famous music expert from Podolia. He recorded many folk songs... These songs are harmonised for mixed choir. These harmonisations have revealed the author to be a great expert of both choral singing and theoretical studies". <mask> also transitioned to more renowned music during his choir performances, such as Russian composers Mikhail Glinka, Alexey Verstovsky, and Peter Tchaikovsky in addition to Ukrainian composers <mask>

From 1909, he studied under musical theoretic Boleslav Yavorsky, whom he periodically visited in Moscow and Kyiv over the next twelve years. <mask>ryk, as well as Піють півні (The Roosters are Singing),  (A Mother had One Daughter),  (Little Dudka Player),  (Oh, the Star has Risen), amongst others. In 1914, Stetsenko convinced <mask> to have his music performed by the student choir of the Kyiv University under the leadership of Alexander Koshetz. On 26 December 1916, the performance of his arrangement of Shchedryk brought <mask> great success from the public in Kyiv and raised the interest of intellectuals. Career in Kyiv
During the October Revolution and the establishment of the Ukrainian People's Republic in 1918, <mask> relocated without his family to Ukraine's capital Kyiv, where he was active as both a conductor and composer. Several of his pieces gained popularity among professional and amateurs groups alike, who added them to their repertoire. In the beginning of 1919, the rest of his family also relocated to Kyiv.During this period, <mask> also began teaching choir conducting alongside Hryhoriy Veryovka at the Kyiv Conservatory, and also taught at the Mykola Lysenko Institute of Music and Drama. <mask> was one of the organisers of the first Ukrainian State Orchestra. He participated in the founding of the Ukrainian Republic Capella of which he was the commissioner. Move-back to Tulchyn and assassination
During the conquest of Kyiv on 31 August 1919, the Denikin Army persecuted the Ukrainian intelligentsia. Fleeing persecution, <mask> returned to Tulchyn with his family. There, he started the city's first music

 school, since the college where he had worked was closed down by the Bolsheviks. He also began to work on his first major symphonic work, the opera  (On the water nymph's Great Day).During the night of 22–23 January 1921, <mask> <mask> was murdered by Chekist (Soviet state security) agent Afanasy Grishchenko. <mask> was staying at the home of his parents, whom he was visiting for the Eastern Orthodox Feast of the Nativity (25 December in the Julian calendar, which, in the Gregorian calendar, adopted by the USSR only in 1918, falls in January). The undercover Chekist had also asked to stay the night at the house and shared a room with <mask>. At dawn he shot the composer (who died of blood loss a few hours later) after robbing his family. Several facts point to a political motive behind the assassination. <mask>'s participation in the independence movement, such as commissioning Ukrainian Republic Capella, aimed at promoting Ukraine as an independent state, earned him many enemies. His older daughter Halyna later recalled her father saying, shortly before his death, that he had documents to leave the country for Romania, and that he had these documents with him among his sheet music during a concert.However, after returning from tea following the concert, <mask> noticed that someone had gone through his papers. His plans to leave the country, along with the fact that he was killed by a Soviet agent, also indicate political reasons for his death. Character
<mask> Leontovych was highly critical of himself. According to his first biographer Oles' Chapkivskyi, a contemporary of the composer, Leontovych would sometimes work on one choral setting without letting anyone else see it

 for up to four years. After the publication of his Second Compilation of Songs from Podolia, he changed his mind and was not fully satisfied with it, and as a result he bought all 300 copies and had them destroyed. Chapkivskyi also described Leontоvych as having a shy personality, saying "He abstained from fame, feared attention and advertisement." On the other hand, Chapkivskyi claimed that Leontovych's jealousy, fear of competition, and fear of non-acceptance from the established musical society, caused the music of Leontovych to be little known.Zynoviy Yaropud of the Kamianets-Podilskyi State Pedagogical University writes that "all of [Leontovych's] contemporaries called him a quiet, gentle person. He was not an active leader of the national-revolutionary movement, which revealed in the years of 1917–1921 a whole handful of prominent fighters for the Ukrainian republic," revealing that the composer was politically quiet, but not indifferent. <mask>'s friend, O. Buzhanskiy, recalls that the composer was "always full of humour; spoke so that everyone was laughing to tears, but he remained serious and stayed calm." Stetsenko also described Leontovych to be a "witty storyteller" and that his students at the Church Educator's School in Tulchyn were "in love with him" because of his storytelling. Religious views

<mask> <mask> grew up in a highly religious environment. He was a member of the Eastern Orthodox Church, descended from a line of village priests. He was also a graduate of the Podollia Theological Seminary in Kamianets-Podilskyi, which, for the most part, trained Orthodox Christian clergy.As a person with a professional theological education, <mask> kept up with the

 movement of the establishment and recognition of the Ukrainian Autocephalous Orthodox Church, which was reestablished in 1918. The composer's output during this period became rich in new sacred music, following the examples of Kyrylo Stetsenko (a close friend of <mask>'s, also an orthodox priest and composer) and Alexander Koshetz. <mask>'s works form this time included  (On the Resurrection of Christ),  (Praise ye the Name of the Lord), and  (Oh Quiet Light), among others. A milestone in the development of Ukrainian spiritual music was the composition of his liturgy, which was first performed in the St. Nicholas Military Cathedral at the Kyiv, Pechersk on 22 May 1919. Commemoration

On 1 February 1921, nine days after <mask>'s death, a large number of artists, professors, and students of the Mykola Lysenko Institute of Music and Drama in Kyiv gathered to commemorate him, as is expected according to Christian tradition. They established the Committee for the Memory of Mykola Leontovych, which later became the All-Ukrainian Mykola Leontovych Music Society, and promoted Ukrainian music until 1928. Ukrainian writer and politician of the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic, Pavlo Tychyna, was an admirer of Leontovych and wrote about the composer's death in prose.Poets Maksym Rylskyi and <mask> Bazhan also dedicated poetry to him. The name of Leontovych is carried by musical groups, such as the Leontovych Bandurist Capella, and by educational institutions such as the Vinnytsia College of Arts and Culture. Streets in Kyiv and other cities have been named after him. There is a memorial museum dedicated to him in the city of Tulchyn, and another was established in 1977 in the

 village of Markivka where he was buried. In 2002, to celebrate the 125th anniversary of the composer's birth, the city of Kamianets-Podilskyi held an all-Ukrainian scientific conference entitled "Mykola Leontovych and Modern Education and Science," with guests from the Ukrainian ministry of education and science, the Ukrainian composers' Union, and many local authorities. During this event, the city held a ceremonial opening of a memorial plaque to the composer, placed next to the old building formerly used by the Podollia Theological Seminary. Music
<mask> <mask> specialised in a cappella choral music.He is remembered today mostly through the musical works he left behind, which include over 150 choral compositions. These range from artistic arrangements of folk songs, religious works (including his liturgy), cantatas, and choral compositions set to the words of various Ukrainian poets. His two most famous works are the choral miniatures Schedryk and Dudaryk. <mask> also commenced work on an opera (Na rusalchyn velykden’ – On the Water Nymph's Easter) based on Ukrainian myths and the works of Borys Hrinchenko. By the end of 1920, he had finished the first of three acts. However, <mask> was murdered before he could complete the opera. Attempts to complete and edit the opera were made by Ukrainian composer Mykhailo Verykivsky.Composer Myroslav Skoryk and poet Diodor Bobyr used the musical material of the unfinished opera to make a one-act operetta; this premiered in 1977 at the Kyiv State Opera and Ballet Theatre, one hundred years after <mask>'s birth. The North American premiere took place in Toronto on 11 April 2003. One of the largest influences in <mask> <mask>'s music is

 that of <mask> Lysenko, who is considered "the father of Ukrainian classical music". <mask> admired Lysenko's music ever since he was a student at the Kamianets-Podilskyi Theological Seminary, when he had the seminary's choir perform the composer's music. Since then, he would perform Lysenko's music in concerts wherever he worked. Shchedryk/Carol of the Bells

<mask> <mask>'s Shchedryk is his most well-known piece. In its English version as a Christmas carol, it is known as the holiday favourite Carol of the Bells.It is famous for its four-note ostinato motif and has been arranged over 150 times since 2004. The original Ukrainian text of Shchedryk used hemiola, a shifting of accents within each measure between 6/8 and 3/4, which is lost in the English versions. The most popular English adaptation was composed in 1936 by Peter J Wilhousky who was influenced by the culture of his Eastern European parents and the traditional Christian story of carols ringing out at the birth of Jesus, although other English adaptations of the song were also made in 1947 by M. L. Holman, 1957, and 1972. The song has been used many times in the soundtracks for films and television. For example, it was used in the box office hits The Santa Clause and Home Alone, Will Vinton's award-winning A Claymation Christmas Celebration, and as a parody called Carol of the Meows in The O.C. 's episode "The Chrismukkah That Almost Wasn't". A modernised version of Carol of the Bells was played in The Office.It has also been arranged and performed by many groups, regardless of singing style or genre, ranging from classical (Vienna Boys Choir), to traditional music groups (Celtic Woman), to pop singers and groups

 (Jessica Simpson and Destiny's Child). Musical style
Leontovych had an original style. Many of his works have "deft use of imitative counterpoint and impressionistic harmony." He had a strong desire for his music to arouse the senses, especially sight, saying, "I'm interested in which colours you used for high tones, and which for the low ones. I myself often think about that, to combine sound and colour." His choral compositions feature rich harmony, vocal polyphony, and imitation. His earlier choral arrangements of folk songs were primarily strophic arrangements of the melody.As the composer gained more experience, the structure of his choral compositions and arrangements of folk songs became more frequently intertwined with text. <mask> arranged many Ukrainian folk songs, creating artistically independent choral compositions based on their melodies and lyrics. He followed the traditions of improvisation of Ukrainian kobzars, who would interpret every new strophe differently. He also employed humming and the variability in timbre of singers' voices as techniques in reaching a desired emotional or sensual effect. A central topic of <mask>'s work is choral music about everyday life. His music frequently reflect actual actions and events. An example of this is his shchedrivka Ой там за горою (Oh there behind the Mountain) in which a tenor initially starts the song with a solo and the rest of the voices of the choir gradually come in, reflecting carolling when new groups of singers join in.Then, a switching of parts begins between different groups of the choir, recreating the clamorous atmosphere of the New Year's Eve. Reception and popularity
For most of his career, <mask>

texts: kept his music to himself, only performing it during his own concerts. This was because of the composer's highly self-critical and shy personality. <mask>'s first critic was his friend and fellow priest and composer Kyrylo Stetsenko, who described him to be "a great expert of both choral singing and theoretical studies". He also convinced <mask> to publish his music and have it performed by the Kyiv University. The successful debut of "Shchedryk" earnt Leontovych popularity among specialists and fans of choral music in Kyiv. <mask>'s mentor-turned-coworker at the Kyiv Conservatory, Boleslav Yavorsky, also positively evaluated his newly written works.During another concert, <mask>'s Lehenda, set to a poem by <mask> Voronyi, gained great popularity. After reviewing <mask>'s Second Compilation of Songs from Podolia, Lysenko wrote: "<mask> has an original, illustrious gift. In his arrangements I found separate passages, movement of voices, which later developed in an ingeniously weaved musical network." The increase in popularity of <mask>'s music was aided by the head of the Ukrainian National Republic, Symon Petliura, who created and sponsored two choirs that would promote the awareness of and the culture of Ukraine. One choir headed by Kyrylo Stetsenko toured across Ukraine, while the Ukrainian Republic Capella headed by Alexander Koshetz toured Europe and the Americas. Performances by the Ukrainian Republic Capella made Leontovych known throughout the western world. In France, Leontovych earned the nickname, "Ukrainian Bach".On 5 October 1921, the Capella performed Shchedryk in the Carnegie Hall in New York City. In 1936, ethnically Ukrainian Peter J.

Apart from Shchedryk, or the Carol of the Bells, <mask>'s music is currently performed mostly in Ukraine and few recordings are dedicated exclusively to him. The Ukrainian diaspora remember him and perform his works.

In 1896 and 1902, d'Autremont served as Democratic elector for the State of Minnesota. After 1902, he served on the Democratic State Central Committee and its Executive Committee.His financial contribution to the campaign of William Jennings Bryan was double the party member's average for the 1908 presidential campaign.

In 1900, d'Autremont moved into copper ore exploitation. He organized, in part, the Lake Superior and Western Development Company, later the subject of a takeover by the Arizona and Calumet Mining Company.

<mask><mask> (born August 5, 1952) is a corporate consultant and former investment banker. He was a managing director at the iconic Wall Street investment banking firm Drexel Burnham Lambert, where he was a major player in the merger and acquisition business in the 1980s. His career on Wall Street came to an abrupt end when he was prosecuted  by then U.S. Attorney, Rudy Giuliani, for insider trading. <mask> was one of the first of several high-profile insider trading defendants in the Wall Street insider trading investigations of the mid-1980s. As a result of the investigation and subsequent proceedings, <mask> pleaded guilty to various charges related to insider trading. Early life
<mask> grew up in a middle-class Jewish family in Bayside in eastern Queens. He graduated from CUNY's Baruch College, obtaining an MBA from the same college in 1976.Career
After being hired away from his career at Citibank in 1978, he joined Smith Barney's corporate finance department and worked in its Paris office specializing in mergers and acquisitions. He moved to Lehman Brothers in 1981. Shortly after Lehman was bought by American Express in 1985, <mask> moved to Drexel as a managing director. <mask> spent most of his career as a specialist in mergers and acquisitions. It was very common to see him on a telephone with an extra-long cord while hunched over a Quotron, checking out signs of possible deals. He participated in many transactions throughout his career, three of which were among the more notable hostile takeovers of the 1980s — James Goldsmith's takeover of Crown Zellerbach, Coastal Corporation's takeover of American Natural Resources, and Ron Perelman's takeover of Revlon. After his return to the business world, <mask> re-entered to the finance world as president of ADASAR Group, a financial consulting firm.Over the last 30+ years, <mask> has worked as a global strategist for innovative technology trends, focusing on controlled environment agriculture and sustainability, including food, water and

 energy systems. He also lectures at universities and organizations on a host of contemporary issues from business ethics to emerging technology developments. Insider trading
Over the years, <mask> built a network of professionals at various Wall Street firms. Participants exchanged and traded on information that they obtained through their work. <mask> placed his trades through an account maintained under an assumed name at Bahamian subsidiaries of Swiss banks, using pay phones to prevent his calls from being traced. After briefly doing business with Pictet & Cie, he moved his business to Bank Leu in May 1980, eventually earning $10.6 million in profits. Like most Swiss banks, Bank Leu had a long tradition of secrecy.Additionally, the Bahamas had some of the strictest bank secrecy laws in the world; with few exceptions, Bahamian banks were barred from disclosing any information about a customer's banking relationship to a third party. Some Bank Leu officials soon began to copy, or "piggyback", <mask>'s trades for their own accounts. In the process, they too profited from <mask>'s trades. To cover the trail, they broke up <mask>'s trades among several brokers. Unfortunately for <mask>, they steered a large number of his trades through a broker at Merrill Lynch, who also began piggybacking the trades for himself. In May 1985, Merrill Lynch detected suspicious activity in that and two other brokers' personal trading accounts. An internal investigation led to Bank Leu.Unable to pierce the veil of secrecy, Merrill Lynch forwarded the affair to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Bank officials suggested that <mask> come up with reasons to justify the trades. However, they also forged or destroyed many documents related to <mask>'s activity — thus opening themselves to charges of obstruction of justice. Their story fell apart when the noted attorney Harvey Pitt, whom the bank had retained, noticed a huge gap between the actual statements of the bank's managed accounts and the omnibus

Therefore, since Bank Leu did not have a "banking relationship" with <mask>, any disclosure about him would not violate Bahamian banking law.The bank was thus free to reveal <mask>'s name and he was arrested soon afterward. At the same time, he was sued by the SEC. On June 5, 1986, <mask> was forced to plead guilty to securities fraud, tax evasion and perjury. Like all of the defendants charged, he agreed to co-operate with the government investigation to expose the other members of his group. <mask> also settled the SEC's charges, agreeing to disgorge $11.5 million—at the time, the largest such penalty in SEC history. He also agreed to a lifetime ban from the securities industry. <mask> also agreed to pay $2 million in back taxes out of the amount he disgorged to the SEC.Subsequently, <mask> directly implicated powerful arbitrageur Ivan Boesky, and information from the Boesky case also implicated another prominent player in the mergers and acquisitions circle, Martin Siegel. Both Boesky and Siegel subsequently pleaded guilty. Due in part to this co-operation, federal judge Gerald Goettel imposed a lenient sentence of two years in prison and a $362,000 fine. However, since <mask> had been stripped of nearly all of his liquid assets by the SEC and IRS, Goettel did not "commit" the fines, meaning that he would not be held in contempt of court if he left prison without paying them. At sentencing, Goettel said that <mask> had helped expose "a nest of vipers on Wall Street". <mask> said that after his arrest, he seriously considered fighting the charges, claiming that the government circumvented Bahamian law in order to obtain most of the evidence against him, including records of his phone calls. However, he said, the possibility of additional charges in a superseding indictment—possibly including the powerful Racketeer

 Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act — and concern about the effects on his family - led him to conclude that this was a battle he could not win.<mask> recalled that his lawyer, Arthur Liman, told him that if he went to trial, he faced up to 20 years in prison and the loss of everything he owned. The SEC and the US Attorney's office conducted investigations that soon extended well beyond <mask>'s trading group. There seemed to be an entire web of relationships among Wall Street professionals exchanging information and other favors, including the parking of stock, the accumulation of stock to pressure a firm's management and stock price, all unrelated to <mask>. Well known market participants were soon caught up in the investigations, including Siegel, Boesky and the Goldman Sachs senior partner and arbitrageur Robert Freeman. The investigations also indirectly led to Michael Milken who was highly influential in the junk bond market at the time. In 1991, <mask> wrote the book Inside Out—an Insiders Account of Wall Street. He accepted responsibility and claimed the vast majority of professionals on Wall Street followed the rules.In lectures to students since then, he acknowledges his mistakes, stresses the importance of ethical standards to young professionals through his real-life experiences.

Born into a Protestant family in Belfast, Northern Ireland in May 1963, Hodgen grew up on Albertville Drive in the loyalist Lower Oldpark area, which is close to the Lower Shankill. In the early 1980s he joined a racist skinhead gang based in the Lower Shankill and Lower Oldpark areas which included Johnny Adair, Sam McCrory, "Fat" Jackie Thompson, James and Herbie Millar amongst its membership. <mask>, Adair, McCrory and Thompson were all classmates at the Somerdale School on the Crumlin Road. and, although the gang still officially attended the school, they would frequently skip school, catch a public bus into the near-countryside and consume large quantities of cider. This was always procured by Hodgen, who was much taller than the rest of the gang and so appeared older than he actually was.Hodgen formed a close friendship with Adair during their time together in the skinhead gang. The gang began to gather outside the Buffs Club on the corner of the Crumlin Road and Century Street, where their numbers were swollen by other young men from in and around the Shankill. The imposing Hodgen, who for a time had a red-white-and-blue mohican and had tattoos on his head of the Union Flag and the legend "Oi! Skins", became the most recognised face of the gang. The gang became involved in petty crime, progressing steadily into more violent activities and even formed a Rock Against

The Government had money and reputation at stake, the case examining some of the actions of HM Government, especially of former Transport Secretary Stephen Byers.Byers became the only former Cabinet Minister to be cross-examined in the High Court in relation to his actions in modern times: the British Government won the case. Sumption earned £7.8 million for his defence of Roman Abramovich in the 2012 case Berezovsky v Abramovich. This is believed to be the highest fee ever earned in British legal history. Judicial career
On 4 May 2011 <mask>'s appointment as a Justice of the Supreme Court was announced. Upon his subsequent swearing-in on 11 January 2012, he assumed the title of Lord Sumption pursuant to a Royal Warrant (by which all members of the Supreme Court, even if they do not hold a peerage title, are accorded the style of "Lord" for life). Sumption was sworn of the Privy Council on 14 December 2011 in advance of his joining the Court, whose Justices also serve as members of the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council. He retired from the Supreme Court on 9 December 2018.Sumption is the first lawyer appointed to the Supreme Court without previously serving as a full-time judge since its inception in 2009. There were only five such appointments as Law Lords to the Court's predecessor, the Appellate Committee of the House of Lords. Two were Scots lawyers: Lord Macmillan in 1930 and Lord Reid in 1948; the others were: Lord Macnaghten (1887), Lord Carson (1921) and <mask> (1949). After his retirement, Sumption sat on the Supplementary Panel of the Supreme Court from 13 December 2018 to 30 January 2021.

Professor of Health and Law John Coggon critiqued Sumption's philosophical and legal arguments against COVID-19 restrictions in the Journal of Medical Ethics; he also contrasted Sumption's libertarian arguments against such restrictions with arguments he himself had made against the right to die when involved in R (Nicklinson) v Ministry of Justice, when he argued that the moral principle of sanctity of life should be protected in law. Personal life
Sumption met Teresa Whelan at his sixth birthday party and they later married shortly after he graduated from Oxford. They have two daughters, one son, and five grandchildren.He lives in Greenwich and has a second home, a chateau in the village of Berbiguières in the south of France. Sumption speaks French and Italian fluently, and reads Spanish, Dutch, Portuguese, Catalan and Latin.
