	Scheherazade ZaZa Saleh Album Reviews at Musical Discoveries
		This 25-minute long progressive rock classic, which tells the story of Scheherazade and The Sultan, was the genesis of and foundation for Michael Dunford's plan to develop a major West End musical based upon it.
		Singer/songwriter Scheherazade 'ZaZa' Saleh's second release — Nights One and A Thousand — is yet another interpretation of the story and became the impetus to further investigate her music.
		Zaza's unique musical interpretation of the story of Scheherazade is more thoughtfully instrumented than her former release but uncompromising in its attention to the expressive vocals included throughout.

	Soft Skull: Scheherazade: Comics About Love, Treachery, Mothers and Monsters by Megan Kelso
		A few years ago, she noticed an explosion of younger female cartoonists who were really ambitious and promising, and got this idea to work with them as a very active, hands-on editor, which is all too rare in comics.
		In Queen Scheherazade of the 1001 Nights, Kelso has found a role model: the archetypal (female) storyteller, cheating death by enthralling her royal captor with new installments of a vast, interconnected story.
		Scheherazade is a celebration of narrative, the simple, human joy of spinning yarns.

	Scheherazade:1001 Arabian Nights & storytelling-storytelling in use Scheherazade-springboard stories & Arabian Nights
		Scheherazade is the young daughter of the vizier whose miserable duty it is to behead the virgins that his king marries on a daily basis.
		Before she began her quest and married the king, her father, the king's vizier, told her a story in the hope of persuading her to abandon her scheme.
		This fictional failure in getting Scheherazade to change her mind is fortunate for the history of storytelling, since Scheherazade proceeds with her plan to marry the king and dazzle him — and us -- with her storytelling.

		The story of Scheherazade provides the narrative thread between the tales, and runs as follows: Scheherazade was the daughter of the grand vizier to Sultan Shahriyar.
		The sultan's cruel order was obeyed for three years, until Scheherazade conceived a plan to stop him and convinced her father to offer her as the sultan's next wife.

		Scheherazade, the 154-foot luxury yacht built by Hodgdon Yachts, was launched at high noon on Saturday, Sept. 27, into the Damariscotta River in East Boothbay.
		Hodgdon called attention to Scheherazade`s connection to the past, both in her legendary namesake and in her manufacture, combining traditional wooden shipbuilding craftsmanship with space-age materials and state-of-the-art technology.

	The story of Scheherazade
		Scheherazade has been four years in the making and costs more than $20 million, according to Hodgdon Yacht spokesman Ted Smith, who would not name Scheherazade's owner or quote the exact cost of the super yacht.
		Scheherazade, he said, is expected to stay connected to Maine through her owner, who has Maine ties.
		However, Hodgdon said Scheherazade is not only a world-class project with influences from around the globe, she is complemented by local craftsmen who come from a coastal area that is historically known for its boat building.

		For the hull and frames of Scheherazade, Hodgdon decided to use only lumber that had been processed from trees that had fallen from natural causes.

	[Rimsky-Korsakov - Scheherazade] notes by Paul Serotsky (Site not responding. Last check: )
		However, Scheherazade enchanted him with wondrous tales, each of which she craftily left unfinished at the night's end (rather like the old Saturday matinee “cliff-hangers”).
		“Scheherazade” weaves her spell to introduce the A theme - half dancing, half declamatory - on the only woodwind not yet heard solo: the bassoon (resolving a sort of “dissonance””).
		My original LP of Scheherazade was played until it disintegrated, but thirty-five years on the music, now more robustly preserved on CD, still unfailingly evokes the same fantastic images: a wonderful palliative against the stresses of modern life.

	The Thousand-and-Second Tale of Scheherazade - Edgar Allan Poe
		Her name was Scheherazade, and her idea was, that she would either redeem the land from the depopulating tax upon its beauty, or perish, after the approved fashion of all heroines, in the attempt.
		At all events, Scheherazade, who, being lineally descended from Eve, fell heir, perhaps, to the whole seven baskets of talk, which the latter lady, we all know, picked up from under the trees in the garden of Eden-Scheherazade, I say, finally triumphed, and the tariff upon beauty was repealed.
		These words, as I learn from the "Isitsoornot," both grieved and astonished Scheherazade; but, as she knew the king to be a man of scrupulous integrity, and quite unlikely to forfeit his word, she submitted to her fate with a good grace.

		It?s Scheherazade?s position that is trickier to describe, though her story as a speaking fighter, an activist who talks the tyrant into putting reason before force, has had such a strong resonance for people through the ages.
		Scheherazade had to know reams of poetry, the sayings of the wise, and improvise a great deal in terms of content as well as narrative device.
		Scheherazade had to be a strategist, and guess accurately what would be the unbalanced criminal?s reaction or next move, even as she talked into the night.

	Arabian Nights - Chapter 1
		In one house was a father weeping for the loss of his daughter, in another perhaps a mother trembling for the fate of her child; and instead of the blessings that had formerly been heaped on the Sultan's head, the air was now full of curses.
		When the usual hour arrived the grand-vizir conducted Scheherazade to the palace, and left her alone with the Sultan, who bade her raise her veil and was amazed at her beauty.
		Scheherazade did not answer her sister, but turned to the Sultan.

		Once in the King's chambers, Scheherazade asked if she might bid one last farewell to her beloved sister, Dunyazad, who had secretly been prepared to ask Scheherazade to tell a story during the long night.
		And so the King kept Scheherazade alive as he eagerly anticipated each new story, until, one thousand and one adventurous nights, and three sons later, the King had not only been entertained but wisely educated in morality and kindness by Scheherazade who became his Queen.
		The earliest forms of Scheherazade's name include Šīrāzād (شیرازد) in Masudi and Šahrāzād (شهرازاد) in Ibn al-Nadim, the latter meaning "she whose realm or dominion (شهر šahr) is noble (ازاد āzād)".

	Scheherazade #27 reviewed on official website of Laura Hird
		Scheherazade has been around for a while now, but many might have dismissed it due to its romantic gothic cover artwork and the gloomy colour palette used for its covers.
		Counihan is careful to point out in her byline that this is only the second issue of Scheherazade to have showcased one of her own stories, but this caveat was unable to ease my feeling of somehow having been cheated out of a story by a valid contributor.
		Overall this issue of Scheherazade was worth my coinage, but I won't be shelling out for a subscription on the strength of it.

		This is answered by Sergei Levithin's equally lethargic portrayal of Scheherazade, where her theme lacks the sinuous nature needed for her to be a seductive storyteller to the Sultan.
		Nevertheless, they provide interesting couplings to Scheherazade by allowing the listener to get a taste of the Russianised Orientalism that existed before Scheherazade was written.
		Overall, I wouldn't say this is an outstanding recording of Scheherazade because of its checkered effect, but at least it can't be as abominable as it is perceived to be.
