John Stanleys 30 Voluntaries gehören zu den bekanntesten Orgelwerken des 18. Jahrhunderts. Die leichten bis mittelschweren Stücke sind manualiter auszuführen und können auch auf dem Cembalo gespielt werden. Rhythmische Energie, Farbenreichtum durch den Einsatz von Soloregistern wie Cornet und Trumpet, Dialogisieren zwischen den Manualen mit vielfachen Echowirkungen - das sind die charakteristischen Merkmale dieser wunderbaren, auch für das gottesdienstliche Spiel geeigneten Kompositionen.
<p>The series <em>Deuterocanonical and Cognate Literature Studies</em> (DCLS)is concerned principally with research into those books of the Greek Bible (Septuagint) which are not contained in the Hebrew canon, and into intertestamentary and early Jewish literature from the period around the 3rd century BCE to the 2nd century CE. The series was launched in 2007 in collaboration with the "International Society for the Study of Deuterocanonical and Cognate Literature". It provides a logical extension to the <em>Deuterocanonical and Cognate Literature Yearbook</em>, which has been published since 2004.</p>

He prophesied that those third world countries used merely as capitalist labour would have no choice but to join the Communist revolution in Russia.
