    Firebird (Pirotta picture book)

    Firebird is a 2010 award winning picture book written by Saviour Pirotta illustrated by Catherine Hyde. It was published by Templar Publishing in the United Kingdom and by Candlewick Press in the United States. Firebird won an Aesop Accolade from the American Folklore Society and a Best Book Award from the Oppenheim Toy Portfolio.

    History

    Hyde, an artist based in Cornwall, had already illustrated a first book for Templar Publishing called The Princess' Blankets and written by poet Carol Ann Duffy. 2010 was the centenary of Stravinsky's Firebird Ballet and the publishers wanted to celebrate with a picture book retelling of the story. Hyde was asked to produce some sketches which served as the inspiration for Pirotta's version. The story is based on Tsarevitch Ivan, the Firebird and the Gray Wolf, a famous Russian folktale that was one of the inspirations for the ballet. Pirotta's version is shortened and has a different ending from the original. Pirotta sets the firebird free, in tribute to activists in his country of origin who were canvassing the government to stop recreational hunting and bird trapping.

    Firebird (trumpet)

    The Firebird is a type of trumpet with the standard three valves and the addition of a trombone-style slide. It was invented by Maynard Ferguson and Larry Ramirez and remains an exceptionally rare, specialist instrument. They are occasionally produced by Holton.

    History

    Instruments equipped with both a slide and valves have been in existence since the early 20th century. One popular model was created by C.G. Conn.

    Jazz trumpet player Maynard Ferguson and Holton (now a division of C.G. Conn) worked together to develop Ferguson's first trumpet, Model ST302. The designer of that trumpet, Larry Ramirez, spoke to Ferguson about a valve/slide trombone that he had designed some 12 years earlier, and this eventually led to Ramirez designing a new valve/slide trombone for Ferguson, called the Superbone, in October 1974.

    After touring with the Superbone, Ferguson spoke to Ramirez about making a trumpet with the same valve/slide capabilities. In order to preserve the length of tubing required to make a B♭ trumpet, the hand slide could only be made with four positions instead of the standard seven on a trombone. In addition, the bell was bent up approximately 20 degrees so that the hand slide could be extended and clear the bell. This instrument was dubbed the “Firebird”, and went into production on or around May 28, 1983. The Firebird is Model ST303.
    (Recommended correction) Limited production started in 1978.

    Well every day
    The people play
    To drown themselves
    In the whiskey water
    Where's feeling's high
    It's double time
    ?
    ?
    I could be wrong
    ?
    I need a glass
    Just to swab me over
    We take a drink
    We start to see
    I don't recall when
    I felt so sober
    Caught in the mire,
    That's where I am.
    ?
    Do you understand?
    It's such a shame
    ?
    ?
    ?
    We know we've found
    We're losing ground,
    I don't recall

    Caught in the mire,
    That's where I am.
