Concerto in "B Goode" is an album by Chuck Berry, released in 1969 by Mercury Records. The title song is an extended instrumental interpolation of a wide range of theme pioneered in Chuck Berry's classic 1957-62 period, running approximately 18 minutes and taking up the entire second side of the record; this is Chuck Berry embracing the emerging preference in the rock genre for extended numbers. The title refers to Berry's semi-autobiographical song "Johnny B. Goode."In his 5 star Rolling Stone review (9 August 1969) Lester Bangs hailed this as a real return to form "The Master is back again, and this time he has come up with a record worthy of his reputation."This was the last album from Berry's brief association with Mercury. The next year, he moved back to Chess Records, for which his earlier recordings had been made.

A concession or concession agreement is a grant of rights, land or property by a government, local authority, corporation, individual or other legal entity.Public services such as water supply may be operated as a concession. In the case of a public service concession, a private company enters into an agreement with the government to have the exclusive right to operate, maintain and carry out investment in a public utility (such as a water privatisation) for a given number of years. Other forms of contracts between public and private entities, namely lease contract and management contract (in the water sector often called by the French term affermage), are closely related but differ from a concession in the rights of the operator and its remuneration. A lease gives a company the right to operate and maintain a public utility, but investment remains the responsibility of the public. Under a management contract the operator will collect the revenue only on behalf of the government and will in turn be paid an agreed fee.A grant of land or property by a government may be in return for services or for a particular use, a right to undertake and profit by a specified activity, a lease for a particular purpose. A concession may include the right to use some existing infrastructure required to carry out a business (such as a water supply system in a city); in some cases, such as mining, it may involve merely the transfer of exclusive or non-exclusive easements.In the private sector, the owner of a concession — the concessionaire — typically pays either a fixed sum or a percentage of revenue to the owner of the entity from which it operates. Examples of concessions within another business are concession stands within sporting venues and movie theaters and concessions in department stores operated by other retailers. Short term concessions may be granted as promotional space for periods as short as one day.On regular concessions which are based on traditional French concessions, asset ownership remains with the authority and an awarding authority is responsible for the replacement of larger assets unlike with build-operate-transfer, build-own-operate-transfer, and outright sale, all of which are allowed the concessionaire to own the assets. An example of this is the franchise of National Grid Corporation of the Philippines (NGCP) in which despite that the company operates, builds, and maintains the country's transmission assets since 2009, they are still Philippine government/state-owned through the National Transmission Corporation (TransCo) as stated on their franchise law. Both of them will revert to the authority after a concession period, including assets purchased by a concessionaire. Sometimes, an operator and authority can both own the facilities.

Although a concerto is usually a piece of music for one or more solo instruments accompanied by a full orchestra, several composers have written works with the apparently contradictory title Concerto for Orchestra. This title is usually chosen to emphasise soloistic and virtuosic treatment of various individual instruments or sections in the orchestra, with emphasis on instruments changing during the piece.For the distinction between the concerto for orchestra and the sinfonia concertante genres (or: forms, see sinfonia concertante.A well known concerto for orchestra is the one by Béla Bartók (1943), although the title had been used several times before.Goffredo Petrassi made the concerto for orchestra something of a speciality, writing eight of them since 1933. He finished the last one in 1972.

Concerts for the People of Kampuchea is a double album from Wings, The Who, Queen, Elvis Costello, The Pretenders, The Clash, The Specials, and many more artists of the highlights from the Concerts for the People of Kampuchea held at the Hammersmith Odeon in London, UK to raise money for the victims of war-torn in Cambodia. It has yet to be released on CD.

In Upper and Lower Canada, concession roads were laid out by the colonial government through undeveloped Crown land to provide access to rows of newly surveyed lots intended for farming by new settlers. The land that comprised a row of lots that spanned the entire length of a new township was "conceded" by the Crown for this purpose (hence, a "concession of land"). Title to an unoccupied lot was awarded to an applicant in exchange for raising a house, performing roadwork and land clearance, and monetary payment. Concession roads and cross-cutting sidelines or side roads were laid out in an orthogonal (rectangular or square) grid plan, often aligned so that concession roads ran (approximately) parallel to the north shore of Lake Ontario, or to the southern boundary line of a county. In a common square grid layout known as a 1,000 Acre Sectional System, adjacent parallel roads were 100 chains or 1.25 miles (2.0 km) apart, and arranged as 10 100-acre lots each 20 chains by 50 chains so that two consecutive concession roads and two consecutive side roads enclosed a square of 1,000 acres (4 km2). Other plans used during colonial surveying used different layouts and lot sizes of 100, 150, 160, 200 or 320 acres.Concession roads were typically numbered consecutively. The first concession road in a township, though, was often called the baseline (from the surveying term), and roads so named remain in many municipalities, including Ottawa, Clarington and London; the first concession road was also frequently called the front, or broken front if it was on a lake shore. In some areas it's referred to as a townline, particularly if it is a boundary line between two townships, e.g., Adjala-Tecumseth Townline.In some townships, such as those in Bruce County, each side of each successive concession road comprised a separate numbered concession. Thus, the south side of a road might be Concession 2 and the north side Concession 3. In this system, for the purposes of road signing only even (or, sometimes, odd) numbers were used, so that concession roads were successively numbered, e.g., 2, 4, 6, etc. This simplified the address numbering of farm lots, especially along township boundary roads where opposite sides of the same road were in different townships. Where even numbers were used, the numbers of odd-numbered concessions would appear only in property records (e.g., Lot 18, Concession 11, Brant Township, which would be on the north side of Concession Road 10).In some townships, the baseline passed through the middle, with concessions numbered on each side. For example, in Warwick Township in Lambton County, the Egremont Road was the baseline, with successive concessions numbered either "North of the Egremont Road" ("NER") or "South of the Egremont Road" ("SER").Many of the "sideline" roads still preserve "Line" in their names. Guelph Line, 12th Line, and Brown's Line are important thoroughfares in and west of Toronto. The "side road" name survives on several roads in Ontario as well.Side road or sideline numbering varies depending on the township. Sideline roads in many townships in Bruce County, for example, are numbered in multiples of 5, i.e., starting with the town line (road on township boundary), then numbered 5th, 10th, 15th, and so on, with five lots between each pair of successive sidelines in the original township survey. In some townships, the "line road" name was applied to the roads that elsewhere were called "concession roads", i.e., roads that ran between two adjacent concessions.Many concession roads retain their original names. Less developed areas are often referred to as "back concessions".In most of Upper Canada this layout of roads preceded urban development, so that most Ontario municipalities now have grid patterns of streets. In cities, many concession roads have become major streets.

Concerto funebre (Funereal Concerto) is a musical composition for violin soloist and string orchestra by the German composer Karl Amadeus Hartmann. Written in 1939 and substantially revised in 1959, it is by far Hartmann's best known work, especially noted for its lyrical final movement. It is scored for string orchestra only. The title is Italian.Unlike many of his works, which the composer did not consider completed before they had been substantially reworked as part of an ongoing process after the end of World War II, he completed the Concerto funebre in a relatively short timespan, principally in autumn of 1939. Originally entitled Musik der Trauer (Music of Mourning), he retitled it after only minor revisions in 1959. It is cast in four movements:Introduktion. LargoAdagioAllegro di moltoChoral. Langsamer MarschThe final chorale is based on a popular German song Unsterbliche Opfer (Immortal Victims) which Hartmann almost certainly learned from his mentor, the conductor Hermann Scherchen, who had heard it while interned in Russia during World War I. He had published his own translation and arrangement of it in Berlin, for use by the choirs he was then conducting. In Russian it appears to have originated as a song of mourning for the victims of the 1905 Revolution, which explains its appearance in Shostakovich's 11th Symphony, op. 103 (1957), whose subject is the same traumatic episode. It is also likely that Hartmann knew a well-known 78 rpm recording of Unsterbliche Opfer made by the violinist Eduart Soermus who came originally from Tartu in Estonia, then under Russian domination. Soermus was known in Germany between the world wars as der rote Geiger (the red violinist) because of his left-wing links and his association with the labour movement. Eduart Soermus gave regular workers and children’s concerts in Germany and was arrested on at least one such occasion.Hartmann said in a letter to Scherchen that the structure of Concerto funebre was designed to reflect:The intellectual and spiritual hopelessness of the period ... are contrasted with an expression of hope in the two chorales in the beginning and at the end. The opening Chorale is sustained for the most part by the solo voice ...It was premiered in the Grosser Saal of the Tonhalle at St. Gallen, Switzerland, on 29 February 1940 by the St. Gallen Chamber Orchestra under the direction of Ernst Klug; the soloist was the violinist Karl Neracher. Despite the difficulties of wartime travel, the composer obtained permission to travel from Munich to attend.Hartmann's revision was first performed at Braunschweig on 12 November 1959, conducted by Heinz Zeebe. The soloist at that performance was Wolfgang Schneiderhan, one of the work's strongest advocates. A later performance survives on record (Orfeo label). The first recording was made by the Swiss violinist Ulrich Lehmann with the Zurich Chamber Orchestra conducted by Edmond de Stoutz (Amadeo label). Other soloists who have taken the work into their repertoire and made recordings include André Gertler, Michael Erxleben, Isabelle Faust, Ida Haendel, Mauro Loguercio, Alina Ibragimova, Suyoen Kim, Susanne Lautenbacher, Gordan Nicolic, Theo Olof, Nilla Pierrou, Benjamin Schmid, Vladimir Spivakov and Thomas Zehetmair.The piece bears a dedication, added in 1959, to Hartmann's son, Richard P. Hartmann.
