SERIOUSLY WOUNDED BY A LAND MINE IN VIETNAM, THOMAS MILLER LOST HIS SIGHT BUT NOT HIS DRIVE. DURING FIVE MONTHS OF HOSPITALIZATION, HE WONDERED HOW HE COULD SUPPORT A FAMILY AND JUST WHAT, IF ANYTHING, THE FUTURE COULD HOLD FOR HIM AS A BLIND
PERSON. THANKS TO A WORLD-CLASS REHABILITATION PROGRAM HE ATTENDED AT THE HINES,
ILLINOIS VETERANS AFFAIRS HOSPITAL SHORTLY AFTER HIS RECOVERY, THE DESPERATION WAS ONLY TEMPORARY. MILLER, LIKE MANY BLINDED VETERANS, DISCOVERED HIS LIFE’S WORK AND GAINED THE CONFIDENCE TO PURSUE IT THROUGH EDUCATION, TRAINING AND EXPERIENCE. HE EVENTUALLY SPENT TWENTY-SIX YEARS DIRECTING THE WORK OF THE BLINDED VETERANS ASSOCIATION, OR B-V-A, THE VERY ORGANIZATION THAT PERSUADED CONGRESS AND THE EXECUTIVE BRANCH IN THE LATE 1940S TO ESTABLISH THE V-A PROGRAM THAT CHANGED HIS LIFE. MILLER VISITED CONGRESS HUNDREDS OF TIMES IN AN EFFORT TO INCREASE AWARENESS OF BLINDED VETERANS AND THEIR POTENTIAL. FOR MORE INFORMATION ABOUT HOW B-V-A HELPS LINK VETERANS WITH THE SERVICES THEY’VE EARNED, CALL 800--6-6-9--7-0-7-9 OR VISIT B-V-A-- DOT--ORG.

Berio, Luciano.(October 24, 1925 – May 27, 2003)Sinfonia. Columbia MS 7268.[1969]
Swingle Singers; New York Philharmonic; the composer conducting."The second section of Sinfonia is a tribute to the memory of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. A workout of Berio's "rotating pitch cycles," the phonemes making up King's name are vocalized in a rotating sequence anchored in F and A, with a different selection of notes sustained each cycle. The effect is the creation of an eerie "harmonic cloud," oscillating between two whole-tone areas, all of which means that it sounds pretty spooky. Initiated with a sharp blare from the horns, the voices build up in soothing but eerie waves of otherworldly reverence, bringing to mind Ligeti's Requiem (familiar to many from Kubrick's film, 2001: A Space Odyssey). The syllables float above a layer of shimmering music, piling up like clouds of incense, with frequent spikes of brass and piano shooting through the haze like needles. By the time Martin Luther King's name is finally spoken in full, a hesitant drumroll underpins the voices, bringing everything just to the edge of an uncomfortable tension -- a bizarre Mass fraught with the potential for violence."

Salve Regina

The words and music for the Salve Regina were composed in the 11th century by a monk known as Hermanus Contractus, or, Hermann the Cripple.
Born into a wealthy and noble Wolverad family of Southern Germany, he was baptized Hermann. The 14 children of this family were outstanding in ability and education. But, Hermann was born a crippled person, so was not considered to be a "typical Wolverad."
In time, Hermann entered a monastery on an island, Richenau, in Lake Constance. He was in constant pain. The monks designed a special chair to carry and help him. His mind richly expanded. He learned Latin, Greek and Hebrew. He became a musician and poet. He built an Astrolabe, an instrument for calculating the elevation of the stars. He built many kinds of musical instruments for the monks, and even made docks to keep them punctual.
Though constantly in pain, it was said that Hermanus Contractus never complained. His reason was that he saw Mary as his mother on earth and in heaven. He trusted her, prayed to her, and sang to her. And, he said that Mary taught him to be happy in the midst of his daily sufferings.
Into his masterpiece, Salve Regina, Hermann the Contracted poured all his love for the Blessed Mother. He died in 1054; "probably the best of the Wolverad family," Father Whealon says.
Father adds that the Salve Regina became popular as an evening song in Europe. Guilds and confraternities used to sing it in the open market-places. In time it became the regular conclusion of evening devotions or Vespers in the churches.
