Westland is well known for its horticulture in greenhouse, glasshouses, hence its nickname the glass city. Greenhouse Horticulture Greenhouses were already in use in some country estates from the 18th century, but in the 19th century it was decided to place glass windows against the grape walls to protect the grapes from bad indian summers, which disrupted ripening. Moreover, this also allowed the ripening time to be shortened. This introduced the modern greenhouse horticulture.

From the end of the 19th century, but esp ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Robert Graettinger
Robert Frederick Graettinger (October 31, 1923 – March 12, 1957) was an American composer, best known for his work with Stan Kenton. Biography Graettinger grew up in Ontario, California, United States, learning to play the saxophone in high school. While at school he also began arranging music. In the 1940s he played alto saxophone with Benny Carter among others. Around this time he focused more on composing. In 1947 he offered a short composition, "Thermopylae", to Stan Kenton, who decided to record it. Graettinger then came up with "City of Glass", a four-part tone poem. At this time he was studying composition under Russell Garcia. Graettinger's radical polystylistic soundworld, with its polyphonic density and bracing atonality, while drawing on ideas previously explored by the likes of Charles Ives, Igor Stravinsky, Aaron Copland and even Arnold Schoenberg, still remains truly distinctive. He died aged only 33, of lung cancer. Discography Capitol recordings with Stan Ken ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
