Can the country really Handel it?

Article Abstract:

The 250th anniversary of the first London performance of Handel's 'Messiah' will be celebrated with a nationwide massed chorus performance.About 1,000 choirs varying from four to 1,000 singers will participate. Managing director of Music at Oxford Karen Gadd organised the Sing Hallelujah! event. The Messiah attracts many people to classical music through the Hallelujah chorus.

There's method in the madness

Article Abstract:

The members of the Oulipo writers' group, who are mainly French, seek to produce extremely idiosyncratic works using strict, self-imposed formal limitations. A key example of Oulipian work is Perec's lipogrammatic novel 'La disparition,' which never uses the letter 'e.' The group was founded in Nov 1960 at a meeting of mathematicians and writers convened by Raymond Queneau and Francois Le Lionnais. Its members seek to explore the possibilities of languages and structures.
