Francesco Bartolomeo Conti (* 20. Januar 1682 in Florenz; † 20. Juli 1732 in Wien) war ein italienischer Theorbenspieler und Komponist des Spätbarock.

Leben

Bereits in den Jahren 1699 bis 1701 war Conti, der in Diensten Kardinals Francesco Maria de' Medici stand, über seine Heimatstadt hinaus bekannt, unter anderem in Mailand und Florenz. Der so erlangte Ruf ermöglichte es ihm wahrscheinlich ab 1701, zur Zeit Kaiser Leopolds I., in der Wiener Hofmusikkapelle eine Anstellung als Hilfstheorbist zu erhalten. 1705 verließ er Wien und reiste mit Giovanni Bononcini nach Berlin und London, wo dieser Aufführungen seiner Opern leitete. Conti konnte so Erfahrungen im Opernbetrieb sammeln, die ihm später dienlich waren. Wieder in Wien, wurde Conti 1708 erster Theorbist der Hofkapelle, 1711 wurde er zum Vize-Kapellmeister und 1713 als Nachfolger von Johann Joseph Fux zum Hofkomponisten ernannt. 1726 wurde er in die angesehene Accademia Filarmonica von Bologna aufgenommen. Johann Joachim Quantz äußerte sich über Conti: "Ein erfindungsreicher und feuriger, obgleich manchmal etwas bizarrer Komponist". Sein Sohn Ignazio Maria Conti (1706–1759) war Theorbist mit dem Titel eines Hofscholaren in der Wiener Hofkapelle.

Conti war dreimal verheiratet, alle drei Frauen waren Sängerinnen: 1705 heiratete er Teresia Kugler (1682–1711), die Tochter der einst berühmten Giulia Masotti. Nach ihrem Tode ehelichte er im Oktober 1714 die kaiserliche Primadonna Maria Landini, die bis zu ihrem Tode im Jahr 1722 in all seinen Opern und vermutlich auch in anderen Vokalwerken sang. Contis dritte Ehefrau war Maria Anna Lorenzoni, die ebenfalls am Wiener Hof als Primadonna in seinen Opern auftrat.

Werke
Conti verband erfolgreich den neuen neapolitanischen Opernstil mit der Wiener Operntradition. Er trat vor allem durch seine 24 Bühnenkompositionen hervor. Zu seinen Kompositionen zählen mehrere Instrumentalwerke und die erste bekannte Sonate für Solo-Mandoline, zahlreiche Kantaten (darunter seine von Bach bearbeitete Solokantate Languet anima mea) und die tragisch-komische Oper Don Chisciotte in Sierra Morena.

We all know or have been the "know it all" it a situation. We come at a situation not in a spirit of humility, but with pride and overconfidence. We are not alone. The Bible is filled with men and women of faith who stumbled with overconfidence. But God is in the business of redeeming even those that aren't willing to submit to him.
Read from The Life Recovery Bible how God took Joseph's overconfidence and transformed into self-assurance that was used in amazing ways for God's glory.
Overconfidence is usually viewed as a negative personality trait. The youthful boasting that Joseph displayed with his brothers was no exception to the rule. His claims that the others would someday bow down to him, coupled with his father's favoritism, led to his brothers' jealousy and broken family relationships. In the end, his brothers sold him into slavery, cutting him off from his family altogether.
Joseph's self-assurance made him capable of tackling and succeeding at jobs that most other people would have run away from. His high personal integrity, refined throughout his life, took him from the bottom of the social ladder to the top. Because of this, Joseph was in a position to help his family and save the young nation of Israel during a time of terrible famine.
Overconfidence without God's perspective will invariably lead us down the pathway to many other personal problems and mistakes. On the other hand, self-assurance linked with a strong faith in God will enable us to overcome the many obstacles we face in life.


On your birthday people may try to sing Happy Birthday to you. You could be in a restaurant, at the family dinner table or crammed into a boardroom with indifferent colleagues.
Wherever you are, it's guaranteed to be awkward.
While people sing at you, you must look a complicated combination of humbled, demure, grateful and festive even though you know that Stacey from Payroll barely knows your name. It's a high pressure situation. And where do you look?! Into Stacey's eyes? Into the distance? At the cheap cake? Longingly at the fire exit?
Most of us will shuffle, smile, blush, stare at the floor and wish we had pockets.
This is why it's important to have a Happy Birthday plan of attack. In order to mitigate the awkwardness of the situation you can employ these tactics.
Take control of the song (don't let the song control you). Fill your lungs and let out a long foghorn-like 'Haaaaaaaaaaaapppy…' and look expectantly around the room.
Do conductor hands and lead the group. Indicate who needs to put more fortissimo into their singing.
Prepare to put more energy into lines 3 and 4 "Happy BIRTHday dear Dennis, HAAAPY birthday to you" where the notes are high and people's voices thin out.
Shout 'Encore!' and ignore the subsequent silence.
Happy Birthday to you, squash tomatoes and stew. Bread and butter in the gutter, Happy Birthday to you.
Teeheehee, I like the "encore!" bit.
I too like the "encore" but being now aware of adverse consequences of happily singing into mobile the BIRTHday song I shall just wish you the happiest day (until next year) filled with whatever your heart desires.
Lettuce have a hearty singalong the next time we meet : Thank you!!!!!

Animal Farm at a Glance
About Animal Farm
Old Major
George Orwell Biography
Major Themes
Summary and Analysis Chapter 2
After the death of old Major, the animals spend their days secretly planning the rebellion, although they are unsure when it will occur. Because of their intelligence, the pigs are placed in charge of educating the animals about Animalism, the name they give to the philosophy expounded by Major in Chapter 1. Among the pigs, Snowball and Napoleon are the most important to the revolution. Despite Mollie's concern with ribbons and Moses' tales of a place called Sugarcandy Mountain, the pigs are successful in conveying the principles of Animalism to the others.
The rebellion occurs when Jones again falls into a drunken sleep and neglects to feed the animals, who break into the store-shed in search of a meal. When Jones and his men arrive, they begin whipping the animals but soon find themselves being attacked and chased off the farm. The triumphant animals then destroy all traces of Jones, eat heartily, and revel in their newfound freedom. After a tour of Jones' house, they decide to leave it untouched as a museum. Snowball changes the sign reading "Manor Farm" to "Animal Farm" and paints the Seven Commandments of Animalism on the wall of the barn. The cows then give five buckets of milk, which Napoleon steals.
The death of old Major marks the moment when the animals must begin to put his theory into practice. For the remainder of the novel, Orwell depicts the ever-widening gulf between the vision expounded by old Major and the animals' attempt to realize it.
The names of the pigs chosen to lead the revolution reveal their personalities. Snowball's name suits the revolution in general, which "snowballs" and grows until, at the novel's end, the animal rulers completely resemble their previous masters. Napoleon's name suggests his stern leadership style (he has "a reputation for getting his own way") and, of course, his incredible lust for power, which becomes more pronounced with each chapter. Squealer, as his name suggests, becomes the mouthpiece of the pigs. His habit of "skipping from side to side" while arguing "some difficult point" dramatizes, in a physical way, what the smooth-talking pig will later do in a rhetorical sense: Every time he is faced with a question or objection, he will "skip" around the topic, using convoluted logic to prove his point. In short, he eventually serves as Napoleon's Minister of Propaganda.
Like all patriots and revolutionaries, Snowball is earnest and determined to win as many converts to his cause as he can. Two animals, however, momentarily fluster him. Mollie's concern over sugar and ribbons is offensive to Snowball because he (as a proponent of Animalism) urges his fellow beasts to sacrifice their luxuries. To him, Mollie is a shallow materialist, concerned only with her own image and comforts. Like Mollie, Moses proves irksome to Snowball because Moses fills the heads of the animals with tales of Sugarcandy Mountain.
