| | |  Pippin: Encyclopedia - Walafrid StraboWalafrid (also Walahfrid), surnamed Strabo (or Strabus, i.e. "squint-eyed") (d. August 18, 849), German monk and theological writer, was born about 808 in Swabia.
Walafrid Strabo - Life.
Walafrid was educated at the monastery of Reichenau, near Constance, where he had for his teachers Tatto and Wettin, to the dying visions of the latter he devotes one of his poems. Then he went to Fulda, where he studied for some time under Hrabanus Maurus before returning to Reichenau, of which monaste ...

| | | | Pippin: Encyclopedia - Musical theatre Musical theatre (sometimes, although less often than not, spelled theater rather than theatre) is a form of theatre combining music, songs, dance, and spoken dialogue. It is closely related to opera, frequently being distinguished by the use of popular music of various forms (and thus usually different instrumentation), the use of unaccompanied dialogue (though some musicals are entirely accompanied, such as Les Misérables, and some operas have spoken dialogue, such as Carmen ...

| | | | Pippin: Encyclopedia II - King of Italy - Barbarian kings See List of barbarian kings of Italy
After the deposition of Romulus Augustus in 476, Heruli leader Odoacer was appointed dux Italiae (ruler of Italy) by emperor Zeno. Later, he entitled himself rex Italiae (king of Italy), though he always presented himself as an officer of the eastern government.
In 483, Ostrogothic leader Theodoric the Great defeated Odoacer, and started a new dynasty of kings of Italy. Ostrogothic rule ended with the death of Teias (552), wh ...

| | | | Pippin: Encyclopedia II - Tenor - Other uses In the Barbershop harmony musical style, the name "tenor" is used for the highest part. The four parts are known (lowest to highest) as bass, baritone, lead, and tenor. The tenor generally sings in falsetto voice (thus the term tenor used in barbershop terminology most closely corresponds to the term countertenor as used in classical music), and harmonizes above the lead, who sings the melody. The barbershop tenor range is, as notated, Bb-below-middle C to D-abov ...

| | | | Pippin: Encyclopedia II - Orc Middle-earth - The origin of Orcs The origin of Orcs is an open question. In Tolkien's writings, evil is not capable of independent creation, making it unlikely that the Vala Morgoth, who was obviously the first to produce them, could do that ex nihilo. Unlike the orc-néas ('orc-corpses') of Beowulf, no female Orcs are ever mentioned by Tolkien, however Peter Jackson's films showed only one Orc as female. Presumably, an all male race would be incapable of sexual reproduction. However, one of Tolkien's theories possibly contradicts this (see below).

Dartmouth College student groups - The Dartmouth Aires.
Originally formed as the Injunaires in 1946 as a offshoot of the college Glee Club, the Aires broke with the Glee Club in the late 1970s.
Although the Aires usually have about sixteen members, group numbers vary on a term-to-term basis. Auditions are held at the beginning of every fall term. Members of the Aires pick what songs to arrange based on the group's tastes. Because the Aires are such a diverse group of people, they end up singing a lo ...

| | | | Pippin: Encyclopedia II - Urbino - History The modest Roman town of Urvinum Mataurense ("the little city on the river Mataurus") became an important strategic stronghold in the Gothic wars of the 6th century, captured in 538 from the Goths by the champion of the Emperor of the East, Belisarius, and frequently mentioned by the Byzantine historian Procopius. Though Pippin presented Urbino to the Papacy, independent traditions were expressed in its commune, until, around 1200 it came into the possession of the fighting nobles of nearby Montefeltro. They had no direct authority over the ...

Gandalf - Origin.
Gandalf is the best-known of the Maiar of the people of Valinor. He was known as Olórin who dwelt in the gardens of Irmo and was the pupil of Nienna. When the Valar decided to send the order of the Wizards to Middle-earth, Olórin was proposed by Manwë, in order to counsel and assist all those in Middle-earth who opposed Sauron. He is said to be one of the wisest of that order, rivalling Saruman, with whom he had a strained, competitive relationship.

| | | | Pippin: Encyclopedia II - Walafrid Strabo - Works Walafrid Strabo's works are theological, historical and poetical. Of his theological works the most famous is the great exegetical compilation which, under the name of Glosa ordinaria or the Glosa, remained for some 500 years the most widespread and important quarry of medieval biblical science, and even survived the Reformation, passing into numerous editions as late as the 17th century (see Hist, littéraire de la France, t. y. p. 59 ff.).
