MacMillan, Macmillan, McMillen or McMillan may refer to:
Macmillan Cancer Support is one of the largest British charities and provides specialist health care, information and financial support to people affected by cancer.
As well as helping with the medical needs of people affected by cancer, Macmillan also looks at the social, emotional and practical impact cancer can have, and campaigns for better cancer care. Macmillan Cancer Support's goal is to reach and improve the lives of everyone living with cancer in the UK.
The charity was founded, as the Society for the Prevention and Relief of Cancer, in 1911 by Douglas Macmillan following the death of his father from the disease. In 1924 the name was changed to the National Society for Cancer Relief, which it retained until 1989 when it was changed to Cancer Relief Macmillan Fund, later changed again to Macmillan Cancer Relief. From 5 April 2006 Macmillan Cancer Relief became known as Macmillan Cancer Support as this more accurately reflects its role in supporting people living with cancer. It has adopted the principles of being a "source of support" and a "force for change".
Sofia Vokalensemble (often abbreviated SOVE) is a mixed chamber choir based in the Sofia Church in the Sofia parish in Stockholm, Sweden. The choir in its present form was founded in 1995 by conductor Bengt Ollén who still leads the artistic work.
In 2012 Sofia Vokalensemble won the 24th European Grand Prix for Choral Singing in Maribor, Slovenia, competing in the final against four other winners of major 2011 international choral competitions. In 2015 Sveriges Radio, the Swedish public-broadcasting system that frequently records and broadcasts Sofia Vokalensemble's performances, appointed the choir as Sweden's representative in Let the Peoples Sing (LTPS), an international choir competition organized by the European Broadcasting Union (EBU).
Sofia Vokalensemble performs both within the framework of the parish's work and in collaboration with external partners. The choir is a non-profit organization with bi-annual General Meetings and a Board of Directors. Most of the 32 singers started singing in choirs before the age of 10 and are now between 20 and 40 years old; many have received their choral and music training at Adolf Fredrik's School of Music, Stockholms Musikgymnasium, Södra Latin and/or other music institutions in the Stockholm region.
Sir James Loy MacMillan, CBE (born 16 July 1959) is a Scottish classical composer and conductor.
MacMillan was born at Kilwinning, in North Ayrshire, but lived in the East Ayrshire town of Cumnock until 1977.
He studied composition at the University of Edinburgh with Rita McAllister, and at Durham University with John Casken, where he gained a PhD degree in 1987. He was a lecturer in music at the Victoria University of Manchester from 1986 to 1988. After his studies, MacMillan returned to Scotland, composing prolifically, and becoming Associate Composer with the Scottish Chamber Orchestra, often working on education projects.
He came to the attention of the classical establishment with the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra's premiere of The Confession of Isobel Gowdie at the Proms in 1990. Isobel Gowdie was one of many women executed for witchcraft in 17th century Scotland. According to the composer, "the work craves absolution and offers Isobel Gowdie the mercy and humanity that was denied her in the last days of her life".

Plot: The 2nd in a series of films, produced by Jack Goldberg and Arthur Leonard, made primarily for the 684 theatres (in 1947) that catered exclusively to Black audiences that were kept out, or placed in a special balcony section, in most of the theatres in segregated America. Plot concerns a struggling band leader's rise to fame after overcoming many obstacles, including a bad-girl vs. good-girl situation. For reasons unknown, Freddie Bartholomew makes a guest-cameo appearnce at the night club, and was featured in the ads and posters for the film, but the producers were barking up an empty tree if the thought was that he would sell any extra tickets in any of the booking situations...black or white. Tondaleyo (the "bad girl") dances, and musical numbers feature Deek Watson and his Brown Dots, Walter Fuller's orchestra, John Kirby's band and Ruble Blakey, former soloist with Lionel Hampton.

Sofia Vokalensemble performing the beautiful Miserere by composer James MacMillan, on June 9th 2016. Sheet music: http://bit.ly/28Z5S76 Lyrics: Psalm 50 (51) Miserere mei, Deus: secundum magnam misericordiam tuam. Et secundum multitudinem miserationum tuarum: deleiniquitatem meam. Amplius lava me ab iniquitate mea: et a peccato meo munda me. Quoniam iniquitatem meam ego cognosco: et peccatum meum contra me est semper. Tibi soli peccavi, et malum coram te feci: ut justificeris in sermonibus tuis, et vincas cum judicaris. Ecce enim in iniquitatibus conceptus sum: et in peccatis concepit me mater mea. Ecce enim veritatem dilexisti: incerta et occulta sapientiæ tuæ manifestasti mihi. Asperges me hyssopo, et mundabor: lavabis me, et super nivem dealbabor. Auditui meo dabis ga...
Robert Burns: The Gallant Weaver (1791) Where Cart rins rowin' to the sea, By mony a flower and spreading tree, There lives a lad, the lad for me, He is a gallant Weaver. O, I had wooers aught or nine, They gied me rings and ribbons fine; And I was fear'd my heart wad tine, And I gied it to the Weaver. My daddie sign'd my tocher-band, To gie the lad that has the land, But to my heart I'll add my hand, And give it to the Weaver. While birds rejoice in leafy bowers, While bees delight in opening flowers, While corn grows green in summer showers, I love my gallant Weaver.

[Verse 1:]
Carrbian I, classy down, headed for a while, beat this bitch by a mile
Cowboy bow push powder through the nile

We brush lebrush ain't no tellin with this
Keep a bitch with a six, get shit with my neighbors

Mad at what you thought, cause you ain't a big boy
Shit you just got caught, pissed off for da soft
Quit shake it off, I don't know, try back in a year, cause you soft
[Chorus:]
Gonna make your millions, I'll be your wife and have your children
Stack money to the ceiling, nothin but good livin
Got a house on the lake, waterfalls on our estate
Behind electric gates, just me and you baby

Promise gonna be platnum this summer
Straight shit like a anus, everybody wanna be rich and famous
But they ain't able to claim it, you name it we got it
Shakeo' cain'ts and Wako's erotic, overseas cottage
Put the crome on Mercadese, A.T.L. ladies
Put the phone on the roll it's on, let's rome baby

Excitin black leather with the white piping
So much oak stike a match and you'll chock
Fifty folks at a house, off of the coast
You can show them yo coats, and luxurious boats, you know
[Chorus:]
Gonna make your millions, I'll be your wife and have your children
Stack money to the ceiling, nothin but good livin
Got a house on the lake, waterfalls on our estate
Behind electric gates, just me and you baby

But it's a price to pay if you want this life
Nice ice with the apple bent g twice
Wanna give you everything that you want that you like

Leave it cause it's finished, recommend us to the nearest A.M.
Delas' commin on the primas' yellin sweet business.
[Chorus: x7]
Gonna make your millions, I'll be your wife and have your children
Stack money to the ceiling, nothin but good livin
Got a house on the lake, waterfalls on our estate
