 Guardian Unlimited | Arts news | Obituary: Frank Martin
As soon as Frank saw some life drawings in my folder, he told me that absolutely no life drawing took place in the sculpture department, and that there were many other sources of inspiration apart from the naked figure, such as railway signal boxes, junctions and sidings.
Frank Martin was undoubtedly the greatest impresario of sculpture education this country has known.

 Purple Martin House Frank Prekup of the Eastern Shore Ocean City Bethany Rehoboth Beach Fenwick Island
The Purple Martin depends upon man for their housing, they are almost solely dependant on man since the deforestation of it's natural habit has occurred.

Frank Prekup has developed a sure fire design, a 90's version of the age old concept, involving telescoping poles for ease of maintenance and adjustment.

 Frank Martin: Bamert Series: Classical CD Reviews- December 2000 Music on the Web(UK)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
With a name like Frank Martin you might innocently leap to the conclusion that Martin is yet another British composer.
In fact Martin (whose name is approximately pronounced Fronk Martan) was born in French-speaking Geneva, the tenth child of a Calvinist family.
Martin might thus be compared to Herbert Howells but a Howells with a sombre Gallic accent and purged of the Delian abandon that shakes the rafters and galleries in Missa Sabrinensis and Hymnus Paradisi.

 Marcus Maroney - Sounds Like New: Frank Martin
Martin didn't, however, write "extensively in a twelve-tone idiom." He absorbed serialism as a technique and more often than not applied it to rows that consisted of more or less than 12 notes.
Sechs Monologe aus Jederman from 1943 is arguably his best known work and is another 20th century masterpiece in its genre; however, it is the large cycle that preceded this, Der Cornet on texts by Rilke, that I remain partial to.
I know little of Frank Martin's music but recommend the Passacaille for organ as a moving expression of deep anguish heroically endured and contained, within the eight-bar pattern.

 Frank Martin and the Fairies   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
Martin was a thin, pale man, when I saw him, of a sickly look, and a constitution naturally feeble.
His hair was a light auburn, his beard mostly unshaven, and his hands of a singular delicacy and whiteness, owing, I dare say, as much to the soft and easy nature of his employment as to his infirm health.
On the contrary, he and the fairies maintained the most friendly intimacy, and their dialogues--which I fear were woefully one-sided ones--must h ave been a source of great pleasure to him, for they were conducted with much mith and laughter, on his part at least.

In its civil action, the Commission charged that Grass, Frank M. Bergonzi, Rite Aid's former CFO, and Franklin C. Brown, Rite Aid's former vice chairman and chief legal officer, were responsible for one of the most egregious accounting frauds in recent history.
The judgment further provides that the Commission's claim for disgorgement of ill-gotten gains is satisfied by Grass's civil forfeiture of $3 million in connection with his criminal case, and no civil penalty would be imposed in view of such forfeiture.

 Alex Ross: The Rest Is Noise: Ferruccio Busoni, Frank Martin
Martin was born in Geneva in 1890, and lived until 1974.
Martin had a gift for immersing himself in styles of the past without seeming to imitate them; in his youthful Piano Quintet, for example, he does not allude to Bach so much as meld with him.
The poems are strong enough on the page, but Martin’s music, written in the midst of the Second World War, magnifies their air of foreboding to an almost unbearable degree.
