Phantom Regiment – The Red Violin
The film tells the story of a perfect violin known as ‘The Red Violin’ for its rich red colour. At the film’s beginning, the violin is being auctioned in Canada. As the bidding starts, the violin’s history is revealed, showing that the violin has been in existence for over 300 years, having been made in 1681. Its history is told in five locations around the world: Cremona; Vienna; Oxford; Shanghai; and Montreal. To its owners, the violin causes anger, betrayal, love, and sacrifice. In each setting the dialogue is spoken in the appropriate language. Also, a variation of the movie’s signature violin solo by composer John Corigliano is played at least once in the period it is played, with the exception of Cremona, where the solo is being hummed by Anna herself. Throughout the movie, the solos are played by noted violinist Joshua Bell. (regiment.org, wikipedia)

On the Great Divide by John Adams
The Continental Divide of the Americas, or merely the Continental Divide or Great Divide, is the name given to the principal, and largely mountainous, hydrological divide of the Americas that separates the watersheds that drain into the Pacific Ocean from, 1) those river systems which drain into the Atlantic Ocean, and 2) along the northernmost reaches of the Divide, those river systems which drain into the Arctic Ocean.
Although there are other continental divides on the North American continent, the Great Divide is by far the most prominent of these because it tends to follow a line of high peaks along the main ranges of both the American and Canadian Rocky Mountains, at a generally much hig
her elevation than the other divides. (cavaliers.org, wikipedia)
