Earlier this year, at Dutch National Opera's Opera Forward Festival in Amsterdam, I was dazzled by his oratorio "The Raft of the Medusa" in its grandly orchestrated 1990 revision; the only in-print recording of the work is a comparatively skeletal 1960s version on Deutsche Grammophon.

"The Back Door" is also the title of Mr. Creed's exhibition, a sprawling affair that occupies the armory's entire main floor, including not just the drill hall and the small, bunkerlike rooms that flank it but the grandly decorated, late-19th-century period rooms on the building's Park Avenue side.

The meaning was less explicit — though clearly apocalyptic — in Mr. Hersch's furious Violin Concerto; a blaring brass improvisation on a Byzantine chant; and Galina Ustvolskaya's grandly depressing 1973 "Dies Irae" for piano, a growling group of double basses and a player who hacks mercilessly with hammers on a coffinlike box.

It didn't seem like sleep was going to be a possibility if I remained chained to what I (very grandly) think of as my workstation, which in reality is just my portion of the desk covered in Trebor wrappers and books I'll never actually read, so I decamped to a meeting room.
It's no accident that many of his best drawings over the years have taken the form of grandly elaborate blueprints and architectural renderings, making him a charter member of what I like to think of as the schematic school of late Modernism (other members would include Bruce Nauman, Lee Lozano and Chris Burden).
The second half of the program began both grandly and playfully, with the Met chorus singing the music for the entrance of the guests into the minstrels' hall from Wagner's "Tannhäuser," as projections showed Met patrons entering both the "old Met" (at Broadway and 39th Street) and the new one at Lincoln Center.
One showstopper at MoMA's exhibition "Robert Rauschenberg: Among Friends" is Ms. Brown's "Glacial Decoy" (1979) — the installation was created with MoMA's curatorial and exhibition design teams in collaboration with Charles Atlas — in which Rauschenberg's revolving black-and-white photographs are grandly displayed on a back wall as the dance is projected on top.
Louis Vuitton is a mega-brand and, like its fellow mega-brands — Dior, Chanel, Prada, Gucci — it uses its cruise collection, which comes between the fall and spring collections it presents during Paris Fashion Week, as an excuse to gallivant grandly, a passel of high-spending clients, sympathetic celebrities and top fashion editors in tow.
Her grandly understated The Bird and the Rifle (2016) is a triumph of the singer-songwriter mode partially because her impulse as a writer is to resist shows of creative technique even within her tradition of realism, and the tension that arises whenever she attempts complexity hits the perfect country sweet spot between simple and polished.
And the grandly ambitious art-for-the-hell-of-it they produced on the walls of the pier — the kind of work, as Wojnarowicz and Bidlo described it in their statement, "that would allow anyone the chance to explore any image in any material on any surface they choose" — is a reminder of the collective power of that community.
This is the other side of every conspiracy theory, the fundamental fantasy that ensures the most desperate lies are also the most poignant—the insistence that powerful parties have conspired grandly against you carries a corrosive and far more convincing echo, which whispers that those parties are in fact paying you no mind at all, and never have.

I mean my crushes were far and between, but it's been so long that I've been romantically interested in someone that I'm starting to wonder if relationships for men (especially those who are seemingly aromantic as myself) are simply about exploiting the other party for leisure, company and "fun" (which sounds rather disappointing considering how grandly everyone seems to think of "love," not to mention quite demeaning and dehumanizing of women)?
Over the base of simple white jeans or shorts and a white singlet were layered ruched and ruffled taffeta tops (only they weren't taffeta, they were polyester made from recycled plastic that looked like taffeta); big, explosive skirts, in Old Dutch florals or graphic swirls, tiered and frilled and hiked up on the side to show the cool beneath or left to billow grandly behind (all 130 feet or so of fuchsia).
I was in Paris on May 29, 2005, when the French people rejected the first "EU Constitution," a wild attempt by the architects of a grandly platonic blueprint to convince the signers of the original EU-making Maastricht Treaty — which was then, as it is now, about the money — that putting the cart before the horse might make everyone involved move away from national identities and toward the conviction that "the European Union" was a real place, a supranational state, as opposed to just another important-looking piece of paper.
Anyway, the record's big advance over past work is musical — after a bouncy opener featuring the Chicago Children's Choir, these songs buzz and spill over with jaunty piano chords, mellifluous horns, elastic synthesizers, marching-band fanfares, rhythm violin plus soft string coloring, every now and then a standard keyboard loop, tender lullabies and self-assured choirgirls, grandly sung gospel hymns, dinkily sampled gospel hymns, uplifting ensemble singing and the rich timbre of black soul voices, along with a rousing array of whoops and cheers and wails scattered throughout the record to create an illusion of community, as if Chance were playing to an open audience whose members were free to pitch in any time they felt like it, as strangers pass by in the background.
