Details

The present edition of Polly is reconstructed from Houghton fMS Mus 97, a set of orchestral parts bound in seven volumes consisting of oboe 1/flute 1, oboe 2/flute 2 (flute parts were undoubtedly played by the oboists); horn 1, horn 2; violin 1 (two copies); violin 2 (two copies); viola; cello and double bass, bassoon; keyboard-vocal score. Most of this score is in the hand of a neat, but unidentified copyist, with a few revisions by Arnold (listed in the concordance); the overture and dances are in different hands (however, Arnold wrote out one of the violin 2 parts of the overture). The manuscript is complicated by the numerous cuts and changes dictated by Colman who continuously revised scenes even once they had been set by Arnold; these are indicated generally by pasted blank slips, sometimes by ink cancellation or modification, or sew-overs. As an example of the kinds of revisions Colman made, one may note the newlycomposed music cut from act 3: Colman in one instance pulls an entire conversation between Ducat and Pohetohee, ruling out Ducat's air "What man can virtue or courage repose" and he shortens a meditation by Ducat to do without the song "I hate the foolish elf "; Polly and Cawwawkee's duet of reunion is removed to strengthen the focus of this scene on Morano and his defiant song "The soldiers, who, by trade must dare." The manuscript is further confused by mark-ups for the 1782 performances and also Michael Kelly's revival of the opera at Drury Lane on 16 June 1813 (but in the end Kelly replaced Arnold's score with his own music and an entirely new range of borrowings from Handel, Thomas Arne, Shield, Cimarosa, Pietro Guglielmi, John Parry, and Peter Winter). This score almost certainly represents the opera as performed in 1777; the last-minute cuts of Arnold's newly-composed items are preserved in an appendix. In establishing the text, the style and notation of articulation and dynamic markings have been standardized throughout, and, where missing from the parts, reconstructed from parallel passages; these are indicated by the use of dotted slurs or brackets. The notation of appoggiature has been regularized and obvious wrong notes have been corrected without comment. Editorial emendations with no authority from the source are placed within brackets; these include some additional tempo markings in the overture, taken from Thomas Arne's version of The Beggar's Opera published by Straight & Skillern in 1769. The text of Polly prepared for this volume primarily follows the edition published by Thomas Evans in 1777, incorporating, by reference to the annotated prompt copy, a revised paragraph introducing Polly's first song in act 3. Musical attributions preserve the findings established in the concordance. Song-texts sometimes adopt variant readings accepted from other source texts, but only the act 2 finale, which adopts the authority of Arnold's score, differs from the 1777 libretto in any significant respect. A small number of other errors deriving from the printer have been silently corrected.

Great shorts but that tag...
I would give these shorts 5 stars if I wasn't insulted by the tag. They're durable, lightweight, comfortable, and they fit perfectly. I've had them for more than a year and they still look and feel like brand new. I bought two pairs but I will never buy anything from this vendor again. The size I ordered was 2x. Look at the tag. Way to go guys. Thanks for instilling confidence and buffing my self esteem. Hey Amazon, I went back to add something and you chopped me in half. I went from 6 foot tall to 3 and it won't let me fix that. Please take care of this error.

Great for Camping
I bought these for my kids to use when camping. They loved them. They are very lightweight and comfortable. They dry quickly also. Sizes are strange. Ordered a 32-34 on one of them and it said 3X on the tag, but they did fit like the proper size. My kids liked the zippers on them also. Good price too.

Not bad for mountain biking.
Although these are not categorized as mountain biking shorts, I bought them specifically for that purpose when riding on hot summer days. It is a well-made apparel with high quality material and accurate sizing. I've worn it on countless rides and has held up very well. Despite the number of wash cycles these have gone through it hasn't shrunk, faded or ripped. It still looks and feel as it did when new. Overall, I’m satisfied with these shorts and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend for mountain biking or any other outdoor sports you may be into.

Takes a Licking and Keeps on Ticking
Color: Green/Black
I love this watch despite the fact that it is really a toy. I love the look of the watch, I love how lite the weight of the watch is on my wrist, and it really does keep good time if you manage the solar charge properly. Other than looking cool on your wrist, this watch has absolutely no functions other than time keeping. The black plastic bezel is molded into the case and does not turn, so don't plan on using that. The watch has no light, the dial numbers are non-luminous and the hands are very limited in terms of luminosity. No buttons. All you can do is adjust the time and date by pulling out what used to be a winding stem in the good old days. The small tag on the strap with Geographic coordinates shown on it indicate the location of the old Timex manufacturing facility (SW of Waterbury, CT). I have a nice ledge at my bedroom window and it gets good western sun for a good part of the day regardless of the time of year. On this ledge you will find a half dozen solar powered watches (mostly Casio) properly aligned to maximize the charge they may receive each day. Note that the description for this Timex watch specifically states that a lightbulb won't charge this watch. You need direct sunlight for several hours if you want to get more than a 3-week charge into this watch. So, I'll leave you with a couple of tips, my friends; 1.) If you are looking for a first watch to give your outdoorsy oriented Son or Daughter, then give them this one. Why? Because it is cool looking, fairly well built, and it actually works, 2.) After you receive your Timex watch, be sure to keep the display mount it is packaged with. It makes a great fixture to mount your watch on for charging and allows you to maximize the position of the solar cells on the dial so that you can optimize charging time. Have Fun! Jimmy

Excellent value, flawless performance for well over a year and no signs of quitting.
Color: Green/Black
Excellent value, had this for well over a year and it still keeps perfect time, still water resistant. No worries about having to change batteries. Owned a fancy expensive (battery) watch once and the dept. store repair intentionally sabotaged the watch in the hopes I would purchase another from them. Yeah, good luck with that, lost my business forever. This is the 21st century, cell phones are the new time pieces, but solar is totally reliable and Timex makes it happen. Holds a charge for many months, although I prop it in a bright window for a few days every few months or so just to make sure the cells are always fully charged, although it's probably unnecessary, just being over cautious. I haven't actually experienced this watch ever running out of power even after months of use. Damn impressive, as it should be.
