<p><em>Types of gamelan that exist in the earth comes from the voice of Genta Pinara Pitu which became the inspiration of the birth gamelan in the realms of the Gods, Rsi, and also on the nature of Bhuta Kala. Furthermore, humans are also inspired to create various types of gamelan, including gamelan Gong Gede Saih Pitu in Banjar Kebon Singapadu. Gamelan can be used as a ritual medium that essentially has a deep theological meaning. Tones of the gamelan are the nyasa (sacred symbols) of the ista dewata who control all directions which form a circle called the pemgider bhuana. Playing one tone means having direct contact with one of the gods. However, the understanding of the existence of Gamelan Gong Gede Saih Pitu about the concept of ideas, structure, barrel, patih / saih, and the type of tetabuhan that it uses, need to be studied further to deepen the existence of Gong Gede Saih Pitu gamelan in Hindu theological perspective hindu ritual. This research uses qualitative research method with theological approach. Problem solving using Structural Theory, Symbol Theory, and Structural Functional Theory to dissect the gamelan's theatrical structure, function, and meaning of Gong Gede Saih Pitu in Banjar Kebon Singapadu.</em></p><p><em>Data obtained from the text and obtained in the field through observation and interview, then processed and analyzed in accordance with the theory used with the method of theological approach, then obtained the result that the gamelan Gong Gede Saih Pitu as a form of art that developed today, has the theological concept derived from the sound of pale pent in the pangider bhuana circle, and its existence not only as an accompaniment of ritual procession and as a cultural development, but has a religious function and psychological function, and contains philosophical-theological meaning, aesthetic meaning, and grandeur, and dignity, which shows how great the concept of the gamelan is as the implementation of Hindu theological tones.</em></p><p><em>Through the results of this research will materialize the understanding of gamelan theology contained in the lontar Prakempa and Aji Gurnitha, and dismissed the notion of the use of gamelan in Hindu rituals as a tradition of mule keto which is identical with the euphoria of splendor to enliven the atmosphere of the ceremony.</em></p>

This chapter examines Hong Kong-born composer Raymond Yiu’s The Earth and Every Common Sight (2010/13). This appealing cycle, written in a fluent, highly attractive idiom, is a fine example of Yiu’s expertise. Each song has an individual character and the six main movements are interspersed with two ‘Intermezzos’, setting words of Charles Darwin. Throughout, the voice–piano relationship is perfectly caught and words are set scrupulously. The composer shows a fine ear for balance and commands a range of contrasting styles with consummate ease. Wisely, he confines the vocal range to the treble stave for the most part, thereby ensuring clarity of text and variety of expression without putting the singer under duress. Despite a lack of extreme high notes, this is definitely for soprano rather than mezzo.

“A change of tongue”, Antjie Krog’s second creative non-fiction, articulates experiences of the postapartheid quotidian in two tongues: that of the journalist and that of the poet. This article examines Krog’s various instantiations of the poetic voice, and argues that the site of the body is crucial to Krog’s understanding of how languages and landscapes are translated into human experiences of belonging, alienation and self-expression. The voice that is inspired by, and best conjures these acts of somatic translation is the poetic voice, Krog suggests. The article argues that Krog endows the poetic tongue with particular capacities for synaesthetic perception and for modes of imagining that surrender many of the limitations we ascribe to other registers and grammars. Despite the profusion of challenges and setbacks expressed by the evidence-oriented journalist, the three poetic strands in the text, which are identified and explored in this article, provide a space of meditation and of refreshed language in which processes of hopeful revivification can occur.

AbstractAn exploration of the way the voice of the earth is heard in a cyclical view of nature presented in Ecclesiastes, notably in passages such as Eccl. 1:4-7 and 11:3-5. Also an investigation into the way imagery is used from the natural world in the book as a whole, looking especially at the use of animal imagery, as from members of the earth community outside the human and yet integrally related to the human. The argument is pursued that instead of simply illustrating human life as part of the dualistic worldview of the book, e.g. in 3:18-21, that in many ways the earth and its creatures define human life within the context of the earth's character, cycles and abundance.

War and peace perpetually alternate and peace is always seen as an endless project, even a dream, to be realised in brotherhood by everyone all over the earth. Present generations should ensure that both they and future generations learn to live together in peace with the highest aspiration of sparing future generations the scourge of war. The UN Charter is the most solemn pact of peace in history, which lays down on the necessary basic principles for an enduring peace. Recently, in the context of the joint effort in the recognition of the high importance of practicing tolerance, dialogue, cooperation and solidarity among all human beings, peoples and nations, the General Assembly has raised the voice of victims to strongly condemn war and to openly reiterate their inalienable right to enjoy peace such that all human rights are promoted and protected and development is fully realized. The aim is to present activities of the General Assembly focused on the adoption of the Declaration on the right to peace.

The voice of Fanon. Italian readings of The Wretched of the Earth examines through related analyses, articles and essays published between 1962 and 1971. The key issue in the reception of the book, from the Italian Left parties (Pci, Psi) to the New Left of the student protest movement of 1968, was violence in its moral and political implications.
