MASKA (Lettonia)

Il coro giovanile “Maska” è stato fondato nel 2000 e al momento è formato da 40 ragazzi tra i 15 e i 30 anni. Il coro è orgoglioso dei suoi cantori che rappresentano la parte più attiva, reattiva ed entusiastica della giovinezza. Tra i cantanti si possono trovare giocatori di hockey e floorball, cheerleaders, appassionati di informatica, impiegati; comunque, nonostante i coristi siano così diversi tra di loro, condividono la stessa passione, la musica. Fin dalla sua nascita il coro è stato diretto da Jānis Ozols, che è conosciuto anche come componente del famoso gruppo vocale COSMOS, ma i suoi assistenti sono cambiati di anno in anno fino a che Laura Jēkabsone ha assunto il ruolo di primo assistente. Da questo momento il coro ha iniziato un’intensa attività concertistica, si esibisce durante le messe assieme all’orchestra da camera, prende parte ai concerti di compositori lettoni contemporanei, come ad esempio Artūrs Maskats e organizza concerti con i gruppi gemellati di Estonia, Belgio e Francia. Il gruppo “Maska” organizza tradizionalmente concerti in cui si riuniscono sul palco numerosi gruppi giovanili lettoni, ma lo scopo principale dei coristi a fine esibizione è quello di portare i direttori sul ghiaccio per insegnar loro a pattinare. In Lettonia c’è inoltre una tradizione unica nel suo genere: un festival di canto e ballo che riunisce centinaia dei migliori ballerini e cantanti della nazione, tra questi c’è anche il coro “Maska”. Per accedere a questo festival vengono fatte delle selezioni chiamate „la guerra dei cori”. Durante questa valutazione il coro è stato riconosciuto come il secondo miglior coro scolastico nel 2003 ed il decimo miglior coro amatoriale della Lettonia nel 2008. Questo successo è servito non solo come premio per l’impegno, ma anche come incoraggiamento per i traguardi futuri. Il direttore, Jānis Ozols è nato a Riga 29 anni fa. Tutta la sua vita è collegata alla musica. Il primo passo è stato nel 1989, alla scuola E. Darzins, quando è stato accettato tra i coristi del Duomo della capitale. Dopo aver ricevuto il diploma nel 1999 ha proseguito gli sutdi musicali per un anno. Dopo essersi laureato all’Accademia di Musica lettone nel 2004, aver seguito corsi di direzione corale, dopo aver diretto svariati cori, ha deciso, assieme ad altri tre componenti del coro del Duomo, di formare il gruppo vocale COSMOS. Negli ultimi 6 anni questo gruppo vocale è diventato molto famoso in Lettonia, ma si è anche esibito con successo in Germania, USA, Russia, Estonia, Lituania, Italia e Francia. Nonostante l’impegno di cantare con i Cosmos, non ha abbandonato il canto corale, che rappresenta ancora una parte importante della sua carriera. Con il coro giovanile “Maska” ha ottenuto buoni riconoscimenti in diversi comcorsi internazionali sia in Lettonia che all’estero.

Youth choir “Maska” was founded in 2000, at the moment it consists of almost 40 young people between the age of 15 and 30. The choir is proud of its singers who represent the most active, responsive and enthusiastic part of the youth. Among the singers there are ice- hockey, floor-ball players, cheerleaders, computer geeks, office- girls; however, despite the fact that the choir members are so different, they share the same passion – music. From very first days the choir has been led by its chief conductor Jānis Ozols, who is also known as world famos Vocal Group COSMOS member, but his assistants have changed from time to time until Laura Jēkabsone took up the duties of choir master. Since then the choir has started to lead an active concert life – they perform masses together with the chamber orchestra, take part in the author concerts of different Latvian contemporary composers, such as Artūrs Maskats and organize concerts with their friendship- choirs from Estonia, Belgium and France. There is a tradition for “Maska” to organize concerts which join on the stage several Latvian youth choirs for singing popular songs, but after the concert singers storm the nearest ice hall with a single objective- to teach their conductors to skate. In Latvia there is also a unique tradition- the Song and Dance Festival which brings together thousands of the best singers and dancers from every region of Latvia, and among them- the choir “Maska”. In order to select the choirs being allowed to participate in the celebration, there are several review shows called “The Wars of the Choirs” organized. In such a review show, “Maska” was recognized as the second best secondary school youth choir in 2003 and 10th best amateur choir in Latvia year 2008. This success served not only as an award for the previous efforts, but also as an encouragement for further development.

Conductor, Jānis Ozols, 29 years old, was born in Riga. All his life he is connected with music. His first steps in E.Darzins High-school in 1989 were very successful and he was accepted in the Riga Dom boys choir, that is also famous abroad. After graduating from the Riga Dome choir sch

Hobey Baker as a schoolboy (c. 1905)

Hobey Baker, the famous hockey star, as a schoolboy at Saint Paul’s School in Concord, New Hampshire, during the first decade of the 20th century. He would have been used to the long black stockings held up by supporters, already worn by most boys with knee trousers until their middle teens as part of their street clothes. He later went on to become an important hockey player at Princeton before World War I in which he was tragically killed at the age of 26.

Everything a hockey fan could possibly want is packed into the triumphant NHL 2001. While 2001 isn’t tremendously different from previous editions, the subtle improvements are welcome. You’ll get 30 NHL teams, including the expansion Columbus Blue Jackets and Minnesota Wild, plus 20 international teams. Of course, you’ll also get all the current players and team uniforms. Desktop managers will have plenty of fun messing with player stats along with both fantasy and rookie drafts and player trades.
Old-school fans will like the ability to play their favorite squads in their colors, but also in their throwback uniforms from way back in the day. Even if this is your rookie hockey season, you’ll find NHL 2001 surprisingly easy to get into. You’ll quickly be able to smack the puck around the ice with ease, and performing painful-looking body checks is as simple as skating into a wall. The PC generally plays a very tough game, but thanks to adjustable difficulty, fast reflexes, and a little management magic, you will soon virtually hoist the Stanley Cup over your virtual head. And that virtual head may look familiar: with some work you can import an image of your face and put yourself in the game. Always wanted to check Lemieux into his bench? Now you can.
Of EA’s famous sports titles this year, NHL 2001 has the most lifelike player renders and animations. Every single player is easily recognizable and shows a staggering amount of detail in both faces and gear. The on-ice action is both quick and smooth. You’ll need a speedy machine with a decent video card to witness the high-quality visuals, but all hockey fans will think it’s worth the investment.
The computer plays a very tough game, especially on defense. On higher-difficulty settings, it’s extremely tough to penetrate the PC’s reactions to your every move. You’ll see the defense step up its efforts whenever you have a lead and time is running out. Yet somehow it seems fairly realistic to watch a team almost panic when there’s only a few ticks left on the clock.
Casual and hard-core stat fanatics will find much to enjoy with NHL 2001. And even if you don’t know a hockey puck from a basketball, you’ll quickly learn why EA dominates PC hockey better than Hasek dominates the net. –Mark Brooks
Pros:
Graphics so good, the uninitiated may confuse it for a televised game
