The team competed in the 1988 Summer Paralympics, from 15 to 24 October 1988, in Seoul, South Korea.  The team finished eighth.

2000 Sydney

The team competed in the 2000 Summer Paralympics, between 18 and 29 October 2000, at an Olympic Park indoor hall,  Sydney, New South Wales, Australia.  They finished fifth.

As the host nation, the team competed in the 2012 Summer Paralympics from 30 August to 7 September 2012, in the Copper Box Arena, London, England.  In Group A, they came second behind China, and went onto the quarter-finals, to lose to Sweden, 1:2.

Quarter-finals

2020 Tokyo

Great Britain placed fourth in the October 2019 Regional Championships at Rostock, which was not sufficient to get a Paralympic berth.  However they had attended the July 2019 Fort Wayne qualifying tournament, where they placed sixth.  When all 2020 Summer Paralympics goalball slots assigned for Tokyo were filled, this left the team as the next available team from the ranking tournament.

Under regulation 47.4.5 of the goalball rules, 'After all Pre-Paralympic Qualification Tournaments are completed, the remaining Paralympic Games qualification slots will be filled using the results from the IBSA Paralympic Goalball Ranking Tournament, selecting teams in the order of finish'.  The IBSA Africa regional championship at Port Said in March 2020 did not have the required number of participating teams to constitute a regional championship under regulation 47 (in part, 'Tournaments must have a minimum of four participating countries to qualify as a regional championship tournament...').  However IBSA accepted the Algeria women's national goalball team to the slot.  In April 2021 on the eve of the competition group draw, Algeria withdrew without a reason, and several days later, the International Paralympic Committee announced Egypt had received the slot, 'following its redistribution by the International Paralympic Committee (IPC) according to the Tokyo 2020 Paralympic Games Qualification Regulations'.

Within days, Goalball UK had sought legal advice regarding this action, the chief executive officer stating:
For almost two years, we have had assurances that as first reserve for a place at Tokyo 2020 it could realistically present an opportunity for our women’s Great Britain squad to compete at the Paralympics if there was a withdrawal from the tournament. ... Unfortunately, it has now become apparent that this was never the case despite Great Britain's ranking.

title: Andrew Mullen

text:
Andrew Mullen (born 29 November 1996) is a British Paralympian swimmer. Mullen competes in the S5 disability category in freestyle, backstroke and butterfly, specialising in sprint events. He competed in the 2012 and 2016 Summer Paralympics and won a silver and two bronze medals in 2016. Earlier in 2013 he won silver and bronze at the World Championships in Montreal.

Personal history
Mullen was born in Glasgow, Scotland in 1996. He was born with a shortened left leg. He was educated at Mearns Castle High School.

Swimming career
Mullen began swimming from a young age, and at the age of seven he became a member of Temple Swimming club. While at Temple he entered meets organized by Scottish Disability Sport, showing promise as a competitive swimmer. At the age of 10, after attending a gala in Dundee, he was approached by Paralympic champion swimmer Kenny Cairns, who believed Mullen had the potential to challenge at the highest level of the sport. Mullen took great inspiration from the meeting, giving him the belief to become a world champion. Mullen increased his training hours after being accepted by local club REN 96. At the age of 12 he was accepted into the Scottish Junior Squad, travelling to Sheffield for further training sessions.

In 2010 Mullen recorded times that saw him accepted into the British Swimming World Class Talent Programme. This led to him entering his first international swimming competition when he was part of the British team to compete at the 2011 IPC Swimming European Championships in Berlin. He entered three events, all in the S5 category, the 100m freestyle, 50m butterfly and 200m individual medley. He took two medals at the games, silver in the butterfly and bronze in the individual medley. In 2012 at the age of 15, he qualified for the Great Britain team for the 2012 Summer Paralympics in London.

At the 2012 Paralympics, Mullen was entered for the 50m freestyle, 50m butterfly and 50m individual medley. In his first event, the 50m freestyle he progressed through the heats, taking the final slot as the eighth fastest qualifier. In the final he finished eighth. His second event the 50m backstroke he again qualified through the heats, this time finishing in second place, and recording the fourth fastest time. The finals saw Mullen finishing fourth, just over half a second behind bronze medalist Zsolt Vereczkei of Hungary. Mullen's final event, the 50m butterfly, he again qualified through his heats only to again finish just outside the medals in fourth position.

Mullen was back in the British team the next year when he travelled to Montreal to compete in the 2013 IPC Swimming World Championships. There he was entered into five events in the S5 category: the 50m Butterfly, 50m Backstroke, 200m Individual Medley, 100m Freestyle and 50m Freestyle. He finished 5th in the 50m freestyle and 4th in the 100m freestyle, but medaled in the other three events. He took silver in the 200m individual medley and 50m backstroke, beaten to first place on both occasions by Brazil's Daniel Dias. In the 50m butterfly he won bronze, again behind Dias (silver) and Roy Perkins (gold).

title: Hilary Bauerman

text:
Hilary Bauerman (16 March 1835 – 5 December 1909) was an English metallurgist, mineralogist and geologist.

Early life
Of German background, he was born in London on 16 March 1835, the younger son, in the family of two sons and one daughter, of Hilary John Bauerman by his wife Anna Hudina Rosetta, daughter of Dr. Wychers, who had migrated from Emden in August 1829. On 6 November 1851 he entered, as one of the seven original students, the Government School of Mines in Jermyn Street. In 1853 he went to the Bergakademie Freiberg to complete his studies, and on his return to England in 1855 he was appointed an assistant geologist to the Geological Survey of the United Kingdom.

International commissions
In 1858, Bauerman went to Canada to serve as geologist to the North American Boundary Commission. After the completion of its work in 1863 he spent time over many years in searching for mineral deposits and surveying mining properties in various parts of the world, chiefly by private persons or by companies, but also by the Indian and Egyptian governments (1867–9). This explorations included:

 Sweden and Lapland in 1864;
 Michigan in 1865;
 Labrador in 1866;
 Arabia, the shores of the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden in 1867–9;
 Savoy in 1870;
 Missouri in 1871;
 Bengal, Borar and Kumaon in 1872–3;
 Northern Peru in 1874;
 Murcia and Granada in 1876;
 Asia Minor in 1878;
 North and South Carolina, Colorado and Mexico in 1881;
 Brazil in 1883;
 Arizona in 1884;
 Cyprus and Portugal in 1888.

Later life
In 1874 Bauerman first acted as an examiner of the science and art department. In 1883 he was lecturer in metallurgy at Firth College, Sheffield. In 1888 he succeeded John Percy as professor of metallurgy at the Ordnance College, Woolwich.

Bauerman was a fellow, and for some time a vice-president, of the Geological Society; an associate member of the Institution of Civil Engineers, by which he was awarded the Howard prize in 1897; an honorary member of the Iron and Steel Institute, and also of the Institution of Mining and Metallurgy, which awarded him its gold medal in 1906 in recognition of his many services in the advancement of metallurgical science. He retired from the post in 1906. He died, unmarried, at Balham on 5 December 1909, and was cremated at Brookwood. By his will, money was left to the encouragement of mineralogical science in connection with the Royal School of Mines.

Works
Bauerman published Metallurgy of Iron in 1868, and reached its sixth and last edition in 1890. Of his two text-books on mineralogy, Systematic Mineralogy came out in 1881 and Descriptive Mineralogy in 1884. In 1887 he collaborated with John Arthur Phillips in revising and enlarging the latter's Elements of Metallurgy, which was originally published in 1874 (3rd edition 1891). Bauerman also wrote for technical journals, and contributed papers to the transactions of the Geological Society, the Iron and Steel Institute, and other learned societies.
Bauerman also contributed several articles to the 1911 Encyclopædia Britannica, see Hilary Bauerman's author page at Wikisource.

title: John Kotelawala Sr

text:
John Kotelawala (also known as John Kotelawala Sr; 4 November 1864 – 20 April 1907) was a Ceylonese police officer and businessmen. He was known for the murder of Francis Dixon Attygalle, one of the first sensational murder trials in Ceylon. His son General Sir John Kotelawala was the 3rd Prime Minister of Ceylon.

Early life and education
Born in Piliyandala to Don A. Kotelawala, he was educated at Royal College, S. Thomas' College and Wesley College.

Police career
Kotelawala joined the Ceylon Constabulary as a constable clerk. He was later promoted to Inspector and developed a reputation for raiding illegal gambling dens and cutting down on police corruption.

Marriage and businesses
Kotelawala married Alice Elisabeth Attygalle, daughter of Mudaliyar Don Charles Gemoris Attygalle, a wealthy land and mine owner. They had three children, John, Justin and Freda. Freda married C.V.S. Corea, her son was Dr Gamani Corea.

After the death of his father-in-law, Mudaliyar Attygalle, Kotelawala left the police and took over the management of Mudaliyar Attygalle's estate. He was forced out of managing the family business after allegations of misappropriation and court cases filled by his mother-in-law in the Kurunegala District Court. Thereafter, Kotelwala started his own business ventures, first by managing the stake in the Attygalle family business which he had gained as dowry in his marriage, which included 2,058 acres (833 ha) of rubber and coconut estates, as well as a share of one-fourth of the graphite mines owned by the Attygalle family.

Kotelawala decided to expand into the transportation industry, which was at the time heavily dependent on bullock carts for rural trade. He was later elected President of the Carters Association of Colombo and became a popular figure. Kotelawala expanded into trading and formed the Ceylon-Japan Trading Company. In late 1906, Kotelwala set sail to Japan.

Attygalle murder

On his return from Japan, Kotelawala was arrested for orchestrating the murder of Francis Dixon Attygalle, his brother-in-law. Francis Attygalle was shot dead by Piloris, a man who claimed to be a Boer War veteran whom had served under Winston Churchill. Piloris was made Crown Witness by the attorney general, and Kotelawala and his former police sergeants, Singhoni Perera and Baron Perera, were accused of murder by the Colombo Assizes court. All of them were found guilty.

Kotelawala committed suicide before his execution. After his suicide, several carters of the Carters Association of Colombo stormed the houses of the prosecutors, Acting Attorney General Walter Pereira, KC and Crown Counsel C. M. Fernando.

title: Pitch Perfect 2

text:
Pitch Perfect 2 is a 2015 American musical comedy film directed and produced by Elizabeth Banks (in her feature directorial debut) and written by Kay Cannon. It is a sequel to the 2012 film Pitch Perfect and the second installment in the Pitch Perfect film series. The film centers on the fictional Barden University Bellas, an all-female a cappella singing group, who try to beat out a competing German musical group in a world singing championship. The film features Anna Kendrick, Rebel Wilson, Brittany Snow, Skylar Astin, Adam DeVine, Anna Camp, Ben Platt, Hana Mae Lee, Alexis Knapp, Ester Dean, Kelly Jakle, Shelley Regner, John Michael Higgins, and Banks all reprising their roles from the previous film, now joined by Hailee Steinfeld, Katey Sagal, Birgitte Hjort Sørensen, and Flula Borg.

It was released in the United States on May 15, 2015 by Universal Pictures. The film received generally positive reviews from critics and grossed over $287 million worldwide. It surpassed the total gross of the original film ($115.4 million) in five days, and also became the highest-grossing music comedy film of all-time, overtaking School of Rock ($131.3 million). A sequel, Pitch Perfect 3, was released on December 22, 2017.

Plot

In 2015, three years after winning their first championship, the Barden Bellas are now led by senior Beca Mitchell and three-time super senior Chloe Beale. The Bellas have been the ICCA National champions for three consecutive years. However, a national scandal (dubbed "Muffgate") erupts when Patricia "Fat Amy" Hobart accidentally rips her pants in front of U.S. President Barack Obama during his birthday performance at the Kennedy Center, exposing her genitalia due to her lack of underwear. The incident leads to the Bellas' suspension from the ICCAs.

However, they are not stripped of their competitive titles, leading Beca to make a deal that they can be reinstated should they win the A Cappella World Championship. Freshman Emily Junk begins her college career, hoping to follow in the footsteps of her mother, Katherine, by becoming a Bella. At orientation, she watches an A Cappella performance by the Treblemakers, now led by Beca's boyfriend Jesse Swanson. Jesse' best friend, Benjamin "Benji" Applebaum, develops a crush on Emily at first sight. The Bellas learn that Das Sound Machine (DSM), a German powerhouse group, has replaced them on their victory tour and is the favorite to win the Worlds. Additionally, Beca has started an internship at recording studio Residual Heat, something only Jesse knows (and Fat Amy later discovers).

As the Bellas' suspension means they cannot hold auditions, Emily goes directly to their sorority house. She sings her unfinished song "Flashlight," impressing them; they decide she can join, as since she came of her own accord, they technically aren't breaking any rules. The Bellas meet DSM when the latter performs at a car show; the group, led by intimidating duo Pieter Krämer and Kommissar, takes delight in mocking the Bellas. Later, both groups are invited to an exclusive riff-off; also in attendance are the Treblemakers, the Tone Hangers (a group composed of former Treblemakers, including previous leader Bumper Allen, with whom Amy is in a no-strings-attached relationship), and the Green Bay Packers.

The Bellas make it to the final two, but lose to DSM when Emily panics and sings "Flashlight", violating the tradition of singing non-original songs. Bumper surprises Amy with a traditional date and asks her to officially be his girlfriend; she refuses, leaving him devastated. At a practice performance for the Worlds, the Bellas' planned set ends in disaster when their incorporation of pyrotechnics sets Cynthia Rose's hair on fire. In order to rediscover their roots and synchronicity, Chloe takes them to a retreat led by former Bella Aubrey Posen. The truth about Beca's internship comes out, and she starts a heated debate with Chloe over her obsession with the group and accuses the other Bellas of not thinking about their futures. She angrily storms off, only to step into one of the camp's hidden bear traps. In a panic, she apologizes for her harsh words, before being saved by Lilly. Later, the Bellas accept that they must go their separate ways after graduation, and regain harmony by singing "Cups", the song Beca used to audition for the group.

Amy realizes she regrets ending things with Bumper, and the two reconcile the next day. Meanwhile, Beca's boss at her internship has been unimpressed with everything she has presented to him so far, so Beca offers to help Emily produce "Flashlight" at the studio to demonstrate her true abilities. When they show him the demo, he expresses envy for their talent and says he looks forward to working with them. The senior Bellas graduate, and the group heads to Copenhagen for the World Finals. Before their performance, Emily and Benji share a kiss. The Bellas deliver a stellar stripped-down performance, ending in a harmonized version of "Flashlight" with Aubrey, Katherine, and other past Bellas joining in. They win the championship, repairing their damaged legacy. As the senior Bellas leave Barden, they give Emily a belated initiation ceremony, with Amy demonstrating the last tradition: christening the house by sliding down the staircase.

Reception

Box office
Pitch Perfect 2 grossed $184.2 million in the United States and Canada, and $103.2 million in other territories, for a worldwide total of $287.5 million, against a production budget of around $29 million. In its first five days, the film surpassed the total gross of the original ($115.4 million), and also overtook School of Rock ($131.3 million) for the highest grossing musical-comedy of all-time and the third greatest musical debut ever (behind Beauty and the Beasts $174.8 million in 2017 and The Loraxs $70.4 million in 2012). Deadline Hollywood calculated the net profit of the film to be $139.6 million, when factoring together all expenses and revenues for the film.

In the United States and Canada, Pitch Perfect 2 grossed $4.6 million from Thursday night showings and $27.8 million on its opening day, increasing the opening weekend projections from $40 million to $64 million. In its opening weekend, the film grossed $69.2 million, finishing first at the box office. The opening weekend gross was more than the entire North American total gross of the first film ($65 million), is the third biggest PG-13 comedy opening of all-time (behind The Simpsons Movie's $74 million in 2007 and Austin Powers in Goldmembers $73 million in 2002) and the highest grossing opening ever for a musical. The opening weekend audience was 75% female.

Outside North America, the film opened at number one in Australia and New Zealand, earning $7.6 million and $1.2 million respectively.

 Critical response
On Rotten Tomatoes, the film has an approval rating of 65% based on 217 reviews and an average rating of 6/10. The site's critical consensus reads, "Pitch Perfect 2 sings in sweet comedic harmony, even if it doesn't hit quite as many high notes as its predecessor." On Metacritic, the film has a weighted average score of 63 out of 100, based on 39 critics, indicating "generally favorable reviews". Audiences polled by CinemaScore gave the film an average grade of "A−" on an A+ to F scale.

Leslie Felperin of The Hollywood Reporter wrote: "Reprising the kind of musical performances, campus hijinks, stinging humor and sassy sisterhood put in place by its eminently likeable predecessor, Pitch Perfect 2 remixes the elements and comes up with something even slicker and sharper."
Guy Lodge of Variety called it an "ebulliently entertaining, arguably superior sequel to the 2012 musical comedy hit." Lodge added, "Kay Cannon's script is even lighter on narrative than its predecessor, but fills any resulting void with a concentrated supply of riotous gags, and a renewed emphasis on the virtues of female collaboration and independence."
Peter Travers of Rolling Stone gave the film 3 out of 4 stars. Travers welcomed the addition of Steinfeld, praised Wilson for her continued scene stealing, and said the scenes with Keegan-Michael Key were gold. He reserved his highest praise for Banks, for both her acting and her feature debut as director, praising her for "bringing fizz to the tiredest clichés and reveling in a screen full of musical girl power."

Richard Roeper of the Chicago Sun-Times gave a mixed review, saying "Pitch Perfect 2 strains to find some plot conflicts while balancing the line between satire and rousing musical numbers." Michael Phillips of the Chicago Tribune called it "a two-hour lesson in how to act like a frenemy to your alleged friends. And it's not funny enough." David Edelstein of New York Magazine gave a negative review and, despite having reviewed the first film positively, described the sequel as "A Ca-Terrible". Edelstein was critical of the script, noting "there are good ideas that needed another pass", and of Kendrick's performance, saying "I've never seen her so flat-out bad — distracted, depressed, conviction-less"; however, he conceded that the climactic number was excellent.

Rodrigo Perez at IndieWire wrote "The movie's off-color humor also doesn't connect like it once did either. The casual racism, homophobia and sexism might be tolerable if any of it was remotely funny, but none of it is."
Kevin Fallon of The Daily Beast liked the film but was critical of the "tone-deaf racial jokes", particularly the casual racism in the subplot about Flo, a senior Bella singer from Guatemala. He also did not find the racially charged jokes from the commentators funny.

 Sequel

On April 11, 2015, a month before the release of Pitch Perfect 2, it was announced that Rebel Wilson would return for a third film, although she stated that she did not know if Anna Kendrick or any of the other cast members would also be reprising their roles. She added that she would be "up for a Fat Amy spin-off," although nothing had yet been confirmed. Director, star, and producer Elizabeth Banks acknowledged the possibility of a third film, saying, "I will say, it would be disingenuous to say that no one's talking about a Pitch Perfect 3''; the possibility of it. We are really focused on getting as many butts in seats for this one. If fans embrace it, we are going to seriously think about what the continuing journey would look like, but we don't know what that is yet".

On June 10, 2015, a third film was officially confirmed, with Kay Cannon returning to write the script. Several days later it was announced both Kendrick and Wilson would reprise their roles, and later Brittany Snow was also confirmed to return. Banks returned to produce, but in June 2016 it was announced she would not be directing the film.

The film was originally slated for a July 21, 2017 release, and was later pushed back to August 4, 2017 before moving back to the July 21 slot. In May 2016 it was moved again, this time being pushed back to December 22, 2017.

title: Galina Vecherkovskaya

text:
Galina Yanovna Vecherkovskaya (also Putyrskaya, , born 27 June 1926) is a Soviet retired rower who won five European titles between 1955 and 1962.

Vecherkovskaya was born in Leningrad, but during World War II her family lived in Ryazan Oblast. Her father, Jan Kazimirovich, was an engineer who was executed during the Great Purge in late 1930s. Vecherkovskaya started training in rowing in 1947, when she enrolled to the Lesgaft Institute of Physical Education (GDOIFK). She graduated in 1951 and until 1984 lectured at GDOIFK; after that, between 1984 and 1997 she worked as a physician at a city hospital for children. Around 1948 Vecherkovskaya married her coach, Kirill Putyrsky, and for some time competed under his name as Galina Putyrskaya; they divorced around 1960.

Before the 1955 European Championships, Vecherkovskaya and her partner Olimpiada Mikhaylova were medal favorites in double sculls. However, two rowers of the Soviet coxed four became pregnant, and to save the team Vecherkovskaya and Mikhailova were merged into the coxed four that resulted in a gold medal.

title: Iron Throne (A Song of Ice and Fire)

text:
The Iron Throne is a metonym for the fictional monarchy of Westeros as well as the physical throne of its monarch in the A Song of Ice and Fire series of fantasy novels by George R. R. Martin. The success of the HBO television adaptation Game of Thrones has made the show's version of the royal seat an icon of the entire media franchise. Martin said in 2013,  "Say Game of Thrones, and people think of the HBO Iron Throne."

Martin called the depiction of the throne in his 2014 A Song of Ice and Fire companion book The World of Ice & Fire "absolutely right". He has noted repeatedly that none of the previous media representations of the throne—including books, games and the TV series—closely resemble what he had in mind when writing his novels.

A Song of Ice and Fire
In the series, the Iron Throne is both a physical seat of office as well as a metonym for the monarchy of Westeros. Martin establishes in A Game of Thrones (1996) that after seizing control of six of the Seven Kingdoms, Targaryen ruler Aegon the Conqueror had made a throne for himself from the swords of his vanquished enemies, fused by dragonfire. Aegon had established King's Landing as the royal capital, and the Iron Throne itself sits in the Red Keep. Martin writes that according to legend, Aegon kept the blades sharp so that no ruler should ever sit comfortably. Centuries later, kings still cut themselves on the throne; it is a common belief that such rulers are therefore unfit to rule.

Description
Purportedly made from a thousand swords and knives, the Iron Throne is a massive and asymmetrical tangle of jagged and twisted blades, in which reclining is impossible.

Martin commented in 2014:

Depictions
The Iron Throne has been depicted in comic books, in games, and on book covers, but Martin has noted repeatedly that none of these representations coincided with what he imagined:

To Martin, the attempt closest to his vision was by French artist Marc Simonetti, for a Mexican edition of A Game of Thrones. The author subsequently worked with Simonetti to get an image the author calls "absolutely right". This depiction appears in Martin's 2014 companion book The World of Ice & Fire. He noted, "From now on, THIS will be the reference I give to every other artist tackling a throne room scene." Martin said of the image:

The various depictions of the throne include:

 A Game of Thrones (2014); Cover by Marc Simonetti (Random House México, )

 A Game of Thrones: The Card Game; "Robert Baratheon" card (2014), art by Niten (A Dire Message set)

Television adaptation
The HBO television adaptation of the series, Game of Thrones, premiered in 2011. The design of the Iron Throne for the show was conceived by its production designer Gemma Jackson, and the prop maker Gavin Jones constructed the piece. The show's popularity has made its version of the throne an icon of the entire media franchise. It has been parodied in magazines and used in merchandising. Several "promotional thrones" travel the world with show-sponsored exhibits and for fan events. In June 2014, Queen Elizabeth II visited the Belfast set of Game of Thrones and was photographed examining the Iron Throne set piece from the series, though she declined to sit on it.

Though Martin had previously stated that the HBO version of the Iron Throne did not match his idea of how it should appear ideally, in 2013 he called its design "terrific" and claimed to own all of the merchandised replicas. He added:

Of the feasibility of recreating the throne as depicted in The World of Ice & Fire, Martin said in October 2014:

The HBO television series House of the Dragon, an adaptation of Martin's novel Fire & Blood, includes a larger iteration of the Iron Throne which more closely resembles the Throne as Martin envisioned it.

The image of Sean Bean as Ned Stark sitting in the Iron Throne is featured on the covers of the 2011 Season 1 DVD and Blu-ray Disc sets, released in March 2012.

Merchandising
HBO has licensed the likeness of its Iron Throne for merchandising since the show's premiere, including T-shirts and small replicas of varying sizes. In June 2012 the network began selling custom made, life size replicas of its Iron Throne for $30,000. HBO even partnered with Brewery Ommegang to produce Iron Throne Blonde Ale, released in March 2013.

The officially licensed merchandise includes:
 Game of Thrones 7' 2" Iron Throne Replica
 Game of Thrones 14" Iron Throne Replica by ThinkGeek
 Game of Thrones 7" Iron Throne Replica by Dark Horse/Gentle Giant Studios

title: Fonogrammi

text:
Fonogrammi, for flute and chamber orchestra, is a composition by Polish composer Krzysztof Penderecki. It was finished in 1961 and was published by Schott Music, even though it remained initially unpublished.

Composition

The work was premiered in Venice, during the Venice Biennale, on April 24, 1961. The flautist on this occasion was Stanislaw Marona, to whom the work is dedicated, and the orchestra was the Krákow Chamber Orchestra under the baton of Andrzej Markowski. The composition is a sound study with no programme (or perhaps with a private programme not revealed by the composer), and has never had the score published.

Analysis

Fonogrammi is a concertante work. It typically takes six to seven minutes to perform and is scored for three flutes, strings, harpsichord, and percussion, including piano. It opens with the sound of the gong and other clashing cymbals, which then makes way for a harpsichord solo, which then leads to the string section. After the glissandi of the strings, a central section with the cymbals and some pizzicati strings is presented, and then, the harpsichord, together with the rest of the orchestra, introduces the flute, which proceeds to perform a solo cadenza. Then, the percussion and the harpsichord, in a trembling manner, go on to the next section, recognisable for the use of the tubular bells. The work finishes with a solo flute in its lowest register, accompanied by the strings, the vibraphone and the vibraslap.
