Most governors unveil their priorities in “state of the state addresses” or budget speeches presented to the legislatures early in the year. Check Stateline.org for a list of this year’s speeches and links to those that have occurred.

Stateline.org also has archived these speeches going back to 2000 and has put together a special page linking to daily news items about the governors’ speeches.

Free Download: Dukas’ The Sorcerer’s Apprentice

L’Apprenti sorcier, or The Sorcerer’s Apprentice, is undoubtedly Paul Dukas’ most famous work. Described as a ’symphonic scherzo after a ballade of Goethe’, it was first performed on 18 May 1897 but owes a degree of its fame to Walt Disney who used it in the 1940 animated classic, Fantasia.

This recording is performed by the Orchestre Symphonique de Radio-Tele-Luxembourg; Louis de Froment, conductor.
