Speaker 1 (00:03):
Kalaruga Shark Media. Hey there, Jummi back with five few
news stories. Two musical pieces written by Johann Sebastian Bach
were performed for the first time ever, more than three
hundred years after they were composed. Both pieces were written
for the organ, and they are believed to date from
the great composer's very early career, where he worked as
(00:25):
an organ tutor. Germany's Culture minister Wolfram Weimer called the
discovery the two pieces a great moment for the world
of music. Both pieces were unsigned and undated. They were
found in the nineteen nineties by Peter Woolney, a Belgian
Bach researcher. He wasn't sure it had written them, but
he suspected they might have been box It took thirty
years to figure it out, he told the BBC. Stylistically,
(00:48):
the works also contained features that could be found in
box works from the period, but not in those of
any other composer. That made him ninety nine point ninety
nine percent sure that Bach had written the two pieces.
They were played for the first time in the three
one hundred twenty years by Dutch organist Tom Coopman at
the Saint Thomas Church, where Bach worked for twenty seven
years as a canter. That's nice. Good thought there As
an aside. A recent concert in Austria saw a two
(01:11):
hundred year old Mozart piece performed for the first time
when it too was discovered by an archivist. John Oliver
auctioned off a piece by Bob Ross. You know the
guy that paints the happy Little trees on PBS. John
Oliver had one of his pieces and he auctioned it
off for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. Cabin at Sunset
was painted by Ross in season ten of The Joy
(01:32):
of Painting. It set a new auction record for a
Bob Ross painting of one million, thirty five thousand dollars
after thirty five bids. John Oliver said, We've actually accumulated
a bunch of weird artifacts on the show over the
years that we could definitely auction off to raise some
much needed money. I'm proud to announce last week Tonight's
first ever auction in aid of public media. The proceeds
from sales of Cabin at Sunset and thirty four other
(01:53):
items from the TV show totaled one and a half
million dollars, which was transferred to the Public Media Bridge Fund,
which helped support stations and programs need of funding. In Mumbai.
Some artisans are taking discarded rubber and turning them into
sleek bags, shoes, and furniture that look like leather but
are cruelty free and eco friendly. Their mission turned waste
into art. They're also helping people who had lost their
(02:14):
jobs to more. Studio pays fair wages, offers profit sharing
and health insurance, and lets workers stay in their own
communities while the creations travel to international galleries and art fairs.
A school in England is asking for your help to
find a missing teddy bear that was sent into the
stratosphere with a weather balloon and it fell back to Earth.
The Walhampton School said Bradford Bear was sent into the
(02:35):
sky by seventh and eighth grade students working together with
the Southampton University Spaceflight Society. A camera on board the
balloon recorded Bradford the Bear's journey into the upper atmosphere
and capture the moment when the bear was jostled free
from his perch. Bradford Bear had been expected to parachute
to safety along with the rest of the balloon's cargo,
but something went sideways. And they're not sure where the
(02:57):
bear is. The school set on social media. If you
have any information regarding his whereabouts and no matter how small,
please let us know. Video, footage or any details would
be hugely appreciated. The bear did amazingly well. It reached
an altitude of sixteen point seven miles above the ground.
Officials at the school say, we have reassured the children
he's very brave and resourceful. I'm sure he's fine and
(03:19):
good news for a woman in Thailand. She's not dead.
She shocked temple staff when she started moving in her coffin.
She was brought in for cremation. Yeah, the sixty five
year old woman's brother had driven her from a local
province to be cremated. Then they heard a faint knock
coming from inside the coffin. The temple's GM set us
(03:39):
a bit surprised, so I asked them to open the coffin,
and everyone was startled. I saw her opening her eyes
slightly and knocking on the side of the coffin. She
must have been knocking for quite some time. The brother
said the woman had been bedridden for two years. Her
health went down. She was unresponsive and he didn't think
she was breathing, so he placed her in a coffin
and drove three hundred miles to a hospital in Bangkok,
where the woman had previously expressed a wish to donate
(04:02):
her organs. The hospital wouldn't accept the offer because the
woman didn't have an official death certificate. The temple has
a free cremation service, so that's why the brother went there,
but they were also like, yeah, you don't have the
right documents anyway, good news for that woman. Yikes. And
those are your five good news stories for today.
