The Phoenix Boys Choir
The Phoenix Boys Choir is a boys' choir based in Phoenix, Arizona.

Boys' Choir
A boys' choir is a one made up of boys who have yet to begin (or are just in the early stages of) puberty and so retain their high-pitched childhood voice. Members are known as trebles ("boy sopranos") or meanes ("boy altos"), depending on their range. Boys' choirs of churches or cathedrals on both sides of the Atlantic may sing alongside and train with men, who provide the tenor and bass parts, in a tradition that dates back traceably to the 7th century, in the case of York Minster, and probably much further. Middle Ages and early development Boys' choirs in Western culture developed during the Middle Ages. Boys contributed the treble and meane lines in church music, women being barred from this role. The oldest existing boys' choirs, such as at York, at Regensburg (10th century), at Westminster Abbey and at the Vienna court, trace their roots back to this era. About the Vienna Boys' Choir: in 1498 … Emperor Maximilian I moved his court and his court musicians from Innsbru ...

Desert Stars Shine At Christmas
A desert is a landscape where little precipitation occurs and, consequently, living conditions create unique biomes and ecosystems. The lack of vegetation exposes the unprotected surface of the ground to denudation. About one-third of the land surface of the Earth is arid or semi-arid. This includes much of the polar regions, where little precipitation occurs, and which are sometimes called polar deserts or "cold deserts". Deserts can be classified by the amount of precipitation that falls, by the temperature that prevails, by the causes of desertification or by their geographical location. Deserts are formed by weathering processes as large variations in temperature between day and night strain the rocks, which consequently break in pieces. Although rain seldom occurs in deserts, there are occasional downpours that can result in flash floods. Rain falling on hot rocks can cause them to shatter, and the resulting fragments and rubble strewn over the desert floor are further e ...
