  The Mighty Handful - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The original Russian name for this group is "Могучая кучка" [Mogučaja kučka], which means roughly "mighty handful," the second word of the moniker constituting a diminutive of the word for "heap" or "pile." The derivative term "kuchkist" soon came to be applied as well.
Before them, Mikhail Glinka and Alexander Dargomyzhsky had gone some way towards producing a distinctly Russian kind of music, writing operas on Russian subjects, but the Mighty Handful represented the first concentrated attempt to develop such a music, with Stasov as their artistic advisor, so to speak.
As a group they began to fall apart during the 1870s, no doubt partially due to the fact that Balakirev withdrew from musical life early in the decade for a period of time.

 Entertainment Ave! The Concert Hall - A concert review of The Mighty Mighty Bosstones from the Q101 Jamboree 2000 - ...
Each of them truly outperformed their main stage counter parts, which is why I was not surprised to see the teenage crowd patrons (from around our seats) out there crowd surfing and screaming and yelling at the top of their well pre-adolescent lungs, thank god for earplugs.
So it's pretty plain to see that The Mighty Mighty Bosstones did their job and truly entertained me, even out of the mosh pit, for their set.
This time they had the audience, were a perfect closer for the second stage, but probably could have turned the main stage area into a total frenzy if they had been able to be one of the main stage closers.

 The Mighty Five = Moguchaya Kuchka
It was delight, awe, it was an almost prayerful bowing before a mighty creative force, which had transformed that weak bilious, sometimes petty and envious man into a powerful giant of will, energy, and inspiration.
The Mighty Handful also changed the style of music outside of Russia, which was mostly accomplished by Mussorgsky's music.
The Mighty Five were brought together by a mutual interest in the music of Russia, and music that would differ from the music of the West that was so prevalent in this time.

Privatization of Social Security, vouchers for school, Vince Foster's supposed murder, Hillary's secret sex life, you name it -- the right's mighty Wurlitzer can ensure that a message is broadcast across the county, echoed in national and local news, and reverberated in the speeches of respectable academics as well as rabid politicians.

 The Mighty Animator, Frédéric Back
The wonderful computer-assisted camera, which allowed me to make so many camera movements, rotations and dissolves for The Mighty River (so that it seemed spacious, multiplane and flowing like the river), I was the only person who ever got to use it.
Mighty River is particularly important as a book, because in 24 minutes you can't give too many facts, since the visual information is so rich, you would get dizzy if there were statistics, too.
But in the book there are many details and facts that you can study at leisure, and learn, perhaps intellectually, as you learn emotionally from the film.
