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."
