Musically educated in the classical tradition, he began teaching at 12 and writing at age 16. He reached the rank of Master of the Royal Chapel (most important post for a musician in Brazil Cologne) appointed by King John IV and conducted the first performances of Mozart’s "Requiem" and Haydn’s "Creation" in Brazil. Poor, mulatto, losing his father early and being educated with great difficulty, it is not known exactly how managed to get the culture that claim to have belonged to him. Even with all this prestige, he did not escape the prejudice by the origin in a family of slaves.  less

More: www.billheigen.com Drowning Surrounded by a sea of skyscrapers the numbers are my frowning Time takes away my breath Every minute I am drowning the view from up here is gorgeous But I cannot see any beauty All I see is an ocean of illusions In which greed makes life draggy Few people can realize That a smile is nothing more than teeth A hand-shake is nothing more than skin And on this ocean of illusions we keep going Because we need to feed our fears And give birth to more problems That should not exist.

Absalom, son of King David, was a handsome prince and considered by some to be worthy of the throne of Israel, even before David's death. One day, as Absalom went riding, a tree's branches caught his luxuriant hair and he hung there helpless. He was slain by his enemies. King David was inconsolable.
