claude guimond;guimond;touche;la touche Claude Guimond de La Touche (17 October 1723 – 14 February 1760) was an 18th-century French playwright and poet. |
touche;rouen;au berceau;burgundy;the duke of burgundy;mars;duke of burgundy;berceau;la touche After completing his studies in Rouen, La Touche entered the Society of Jesus where he remained until the age of fourteen. After leaving, he devoted himself to poetry and began with an ode on the birth of the Duke of Burgundy entitled Mars au berceau (1751, in-8°). |
iphigenie;iphigenie en;en tauride;iphigenie en tauride;tauride;clairon The only tragedy that he made and which made his name live, Iphigenie en Tauride, was presented at the Theatre-Francais 4 June 1757. If one believes mademoiselle Clairon, the fifth act, which the actors were not satisfied with, was re-built this very day by the author, yet the curtain rose at half past five. |
iphigenie;grimm;guimond;hodgepodge;freron;iphigenie en;geoffroy;en tauride;iphigenie en tauride;tauride The success of Iphigenie en Tauride was all enthusiasm. Guimond asked again loudly, let himself get on stage and fainted with joy as he withdrew. His play, remarkable in several respects and remained as one of the best second-rate tragedies, however, was abused by Freron, Grimm and Geoffroy who called it a "burlesque farce," an "extravagant hodgepodge." |
orestes;iphigenie;oreste;euripides;duche;atreus;iphigenie en;en tauride;colle;iphigenie en tauride;greeks;tauride;thoas In imitation of the Greeks, or simply following the example of Colle, the author fulfilled his subject, without introducing any love episodes, and maintaining the simplicity of Euripides plan failed not of interest nor pathetic. Many loans were reported: the scene of recognition was drawn entirely from the opera Iphigenie by Duche in 1704 ; the one where Iphigenie asks Orestes about the fate of the family of Atreus, whose background is in Euripides, recalled by some details Oreste et Pylade by Lagrange-Chancel (1697), but improving it. The author was also criticized for exaggerating Thoas stupid ferocity uselessly for the action, and for not having enough prepared nor motivated the outcome. As for style, it was said that the heavy, monotonous, versification, the declamatory pieces and Iphigenie en Tauride language mistakes were saved by the energy and heat that animated all of the work that was printed several time (Paris, 1758, 1784, 1811, 1815, 1818, in-8°). |
touche;le triomphe;guimond;triomphe;soupirs;l'amitie;du cloitre;la touche;cloitre Guimond de La Touche also left an Épitre a l'amitie (London, 1758, in-8°) ; les Soupirs du cloitre, ou le Triomphe du fanatisme (1765, in-8°), a satire against his former colleagues, the Jesuits. |

clear as day;mccreery;soulful;american idol;scotty;scotty mccreery Clear as Day is the debut studio album by season ten American Idol winner Scotty McCreery. The album was released on October 4, 2011 in the United States. Clear as Day also became the first debut album from an American Idol winner to reach number one on the US Billboard 200 since Ruben Studdard's Soulful in 2003, selling 197,000 copies in its first week.McCreery broke records as the first country act to debut at number one with their first studio album, and at 18 years old, the youngest man to open at the top of the chart with their debut release. The album had since been certified platinum on January 6, 2012. |
twitty;clear as day;mccreery;merle haggard;merle;hank williams;walkin;conway twitty;haggard;american idol;scotty;scotty mccreery Scotty McCreery began working on his album soon after he was crowned the winner of the tenth season of American Idol. McCreery described the album as having "some old country influences and elements" that he grew up with, such as Hank Williams, Conway Twitty and Merle Haggard, but "it also has a contemporary feel with fun up-tempo songs." He said the title track, "Clear as Day", is one of his favorites on the album and he loves the message behind the song. The album includes a cover of a song by Keith Urban, "Walkin the Country", released when he was in the band The Ranch. |
mccreery;scotty;scotty mccreery "I Love You This Big" was released as the debut and coronation single by Scotty McCreery. It debuted and peaked at number 11 on the Billboard Hot 100. It also peaked at number 15 on the Hot Country Songs chart. |

At Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream critics, the album received an average score of 51, based on 8 reviews, which indicates "Mixed or average reviews".Jerry Shriver of USA Today gave the album 2 stars out of 4, saying that the album was "strictly paint-by-numbers country, with some mildly interesting colors occasionally dabbed inside the lines." Stephen Thomas Erlewine of AllMusic gave it two stars out of five, saying that although some of the songs had "signs of life" to them, "the songs and production demand that all energy come from young Scotty, who amiably sleepwalks through the tunes, expecting his aw shucks smile will translate onto record. That it doesn't is not necessarily on his shoulders -- it's better to place the blame on the machine, here run by producer Mark Bright." Rolling Stone critic Caryn Ganz also gave the album two stars out of five, stating that "his debut – a ho-hum jaunt through an America full of dog-eared Bibles, rugged pickup trucks and girls hot as July, sweet as sunshine – works overtime playing up his wide-eyed charm." Chris Willman, writing for Reuters, gave it a mixed review, singling out "The Trouble With Girls" as having "sweetly playful lyrics" but adding that "the sappy music seems to have been written for a different set of words, as if McCreery were supposed to be singing about Jesus taking the wheel, not chick magnetism."Melinda Newman, writing for HitFix, gave it a B− rating, saying "McCreery has a voice meant for country. It's deep, resonant, and for someone so young, he also had a good command of nuance...the sound is so clean and clear, if it were a floor, you could eat off it...there is no attempt whatsoever to make any song here palatable for a country crossover to pop — and that is a compliment." Joey Guerra, writing for the Houston Chronicle, gave it a positive review, noting that "there are a surprising and refreshing number of uptempo numbers, and the entire thing clearly establishes his persona, unlike so many post-Idol debut efforts." Additionally, he said that of the two albums being released by the 2011 American Idol finalists (referring to Lauren Alaina's debut album, which would be released a week after Clear As Day), "(Clear As Day) is clearly the stronger of the two, and it's no surprise. He's a more natural performer and seems unfettered by NashVegas trappings or mainstream radio cynicism. Country music just seems to be an extension of who he is. The songs are age-appropriate, heartfelt and sincere.". |
