Legato

In music performance and notation, legato [leˈɡaːto] (Italian for "tied together"; French lié; German gebunden) indicates that musical notes are played or sung smoothly and connected. That is, the player makes a transition from note to note with no intervening silence. Legato technique is required for slurred performance, but unlike slurring (as that term is interpreted for some instruments), legato does not forbid rearticulation. Standard notation indicates legato either with the word legato, or by a slur (a curved line) under notes that form one legato group. Legato, like staccato, is a kind of articulation. There is an intermediate articulation called either mezzo staccato or non-legato (sometimes referred to as "portato").

Classical stringed instruments

In music for classical stringed instruments, legato is an articulation that often refers to notes played with a full bow, and played with the shortest silence, often barely perceptible, between notes. The player achieves this through controlled wrist movements of the bowing hand, often masked or enhanced with vibrato. Such a legato style of playing can also be associated with portamento.

    Lesbian and Gay Inter-University Organization

    The Lesbian and Gay Inter-University Organization (Turkish: Üniversitelerarası Lezbiyen ve Gey Topluluğu - LEGATO) is an LGBT organization in Turkey aimed at university students. It is Turkey's largest LGBT organization.

    History

    The idea of bringing together homosexual university students began at the in 1996. Soon afterwards it was called LEGATO. In 1997, the group, inspired by METU, opened another office in Hacettepe University. In LEGATO's early years, they took part in many LGBT-related activities, such as opening stands in spring festivals, arranging weekly meetings, broadcasting movies, putting up posters, etc.. Thus, many university students were gradually becoming more aware of their own university's gay community. However, being either a member or founder of either of the groups ruined their chances of graduation.

    After keeping quiet, two years later, with the GayAnkara group being the forefoot of the project, LEGATO found life again. As the first stage, on 28 June 2000, email listings opened to 23 universities (84 as of 2006).

    Play Some Rock

    by: Liquido

    Longing for the schoolyard
    Reaching for the scenes
    Reminded by the songs that will never disappear
    Random like the infants
    Outdated like the old
    Lying there in aimlessness listening to the cure
    Doing some rehearsal
    Excercising in the cold
    Lowering the standart
    For the six-string never rolled
    Whistling at the girls
    And saving for the fuel
    Making plans and knock, knock, knock on wood
    Play some rock
    Play some rock
    Please don't stop
    Coming home, coming home(x2)
    Sentenced by our faults
    That we were to make in time
    Pleasently aware
    Of our solitude in mind
    Saved me from the boredom
    Of what we disavowed
    Encouraged by the sound
    That was the sweetest one of all
    Admiring your senses
    Infected by your tongue
    Defenceless I believed
    That we'd face anything to come
    You innocently told me
    You'd catch me when I fall
    And solemnly we'd knock, knock, knock on wood
    Play some rock
    Play some rock
    Please don't stop
    Coming home, coming home(X2)
    I'm not the only one, I'm not the only one...
    Play some rock
    Play some rock
    Please don't stop
