The "Beethoven Folksong Project" in the Reception of Beethoven and His Music
Date: December 2006
Creator: Lee, Hee Seung
Description: Beethoven's folksong arrangements and variations have been coldly received in recent scholarship. Their melodic and harmonic simplicity, fusion of highbrow and lowbrow styles, seemingly diminished emphasis on originality, and the assorted nationalities of the tunes have caused them to be viewed as musical rubble within the heritage of Western art music. The canonic composer's relationship with the Scottish amateur folksong collector and publisher George Thomson, as well as with his audience, amateur music lovers, has been largely downplayed in the reception of Beethoven. I define Beethoven's engagement with folksongs and their audience as the "Beethoven Folksong Project," evaluating it in the history of Beethoven reception as well as within the cultural and ideological contexts of the British Isles and German-speaking lands at the turn of the nineteenth century. I broaden the image of Beethoven during his lifetime by demonstrating that he served as an ideal not only for highly educated listeners and performers but also for amateur music lovers in search of cultivation through music. I explore the repertory under consideration in relation to the idea of Bildung ("formation" or "education" of the self or of selves as a nation) that pervaded contemporary culture, manifesting itself in music as the ...

Beyond the "Year of Song": Text and Music in the Song Cycles of Robert Schumann after 1848
Date: May 2007
Creator: Ringer, Rebecca Scharlene
Description: In recent years scholars have begun to re-evaluate the works, writings, and life of Robert Schumann (1810-1856). One of the primary issues in this ongoing re-evaluation is a reassessment of the composer's late works (roughly defined as those written after 1845). Until recently, the last eight years of Schumann's creative life and the works he composed at that time either have been ignored or critiqued under an image of an illness that had caused periodic breakdowns. Schumann's late works show how his culture and the artists communicating within that culture were transformed from the beginning to the middle of the nineteenth century. These late works, therefore, should be viewed in the context of Schumann's output as a whole and in regard to their contributions to nineteenth-century society. Schumann's contributions, specifically to the genre of the song cycle from 1849 to 1852, are among his late compositional works that still await full reconsideration. A topical study, focusing on three themes of selections from his twenty-three late cycles, will provide a critical evaluation of Schumann's compositional output in the genre of the song cycle. First, Schumann's political voice will be examined. The political events that led to the mid-nineteenth-century revolutions inspired crucial ...

Cadential Syntax and Mode in the Sixteenth-Century Motet: a Theory of Compositional Process and Structure from Gallus Dressler's Praecepta Musicae Poeticae
Date: May 1996
Creator: Hamrick, David (David Russell)
Description: Though cadences have long been recognized as an aspect of modality, Gallus Dressler's treatise Praecepta musicae poeticae (1563) offers a new understanding of their relationship to mode and structure. Dressler's comments suggest that the cadences in the exordium and at articulations of the text are "principal" to the mode, shaping the tonal structure of the work. First, it is necessary to determine which cadences indicate which modes. A survey of sixteenth-century theorists uncovered a striking difference between Pietro Aron and his followers and many lesser-known theorists, including Dressier. The latter held that the repercussae of each mode were "principal cadences," contrary to Aron's expansive lists. Dressler's syntactical theory of cadence usage was tested by examining seventeen motets by Dressler and seventy-two motets by various early sixteenth-century composers. In approximately three-fourths of the motets in each group, cadences appeared on only two different pitches (with only infrequent exceptions) in their exordia and at text articulations. These pairs are the principal cadences of Dressler's list, and identify the mode of the motets. Observations and conclusions are offered regarding the ambiguities of individual modes, and the cadence-tone usage of individual composers.

Caught Between Jazz and Pop: The Contested Origins, Criticism, Performance Practice, and Reception of Smooth Jazz.
Date: December 2008
Creator: West, Aaron J.
Description: In Caught Between Jazz and Pop, I challenge the prevalent marginalization and malignment of smooth jazz in the standard jazz narrative. Furthermore, I question the assumption that smooth jazz is an unfortunate and unwelcomed evolutionary outcome of the jazz-fusion era. Instead, I argue that smooth jazz is a long-lived musical style that merits multi-disciplinary analyses of its origins, critical dialogues, performance practice, and reception. Chapter 1 begins with an examination of current misconceptions about the origins of smooth jazz. In many jazz histories, the origins of smooth jazz are defined as a product of the jazz-fusion era. I suggest that smooth jazz is a distinct jazz style that is not a direct outgrowth of any mainstream jazz style, but a hybrid of various popular and jazz styles. Chapters 2 through 4 contain eight case studies examining the performers of crossover jazz and smooth jazz. These performers have conceived and maintained distinct communicative connections between themselves and their audiences. In the following chapter, the unfair treatment of popular jazz styles is examined. Many early and influential jazz critics sought to elevate jazz to the status of art music by discrediting popular jazz styles. These critics used specific criteria and emphasized notions ...

English Devotional Song of the Seventeenth Century in Printed Collections from 1638 to 1693: A Study of Music and Culture
Date: May 1986
Creator: Treacy, Susan
Description: Seventeenth-century England witnessed profound historical, theological, and musical changes. A king was overthrown and executed; religion was practiced fervently and disputed hotly; and English musicians fell under the influence of the Italian stile nuovo. Many devotional songs were printed, among them those which reveal influences of this style. These English-texted sacred songs for one to three solo voices with continuo--not based upon a previously- composed hymn or psalm tune—are emphasized in this dissertation. Chapter One treats definitions, past neglect of the genre by scholars, and the problem of ambiguous terminology. Chapter Two is an examination of how religion and politics affected musical life, the hiatus from liturgical music from 1644 to 1660 causing composers to contribute to the flourishing of devotional music for home worship and recreation. Different modes of seventeenth-century devotional life are discussed in Chapter Three. Chapter Four provides documentation for use of devotional music, diaries and memoirs of the period revealing the use of several publications considered in this study. Baroque musical aesthetics applied to devotional song and its raising of the affections towards God are discussed in Chapter Five. Chapter Six traces the influence of Italian monody and sacred concerto on English devotional song. The earliest ...

Foreignizing Mahler: Uri Caine's Mahler Project As Intertraditional Musical Translation
Date: August 2015
Creator: Ritchie, J. Cole
Description: The customary way to create jazz arrangements of the Western classical canon—informally called swingin'-the-classics—adapts the original composition to jazz conventions. Uri Caine (b.1956) has devised an alternative approach, most notably in his work with compositions by Gustav Mahler. He refracts Mahler's compositions through an eclectic array of musical performance styles while also eschewing the use of traditional jazz structures in favor of stricter adherence to formal ideas in the original score than is usual in a jazz arrangement. These elements and the manner in which Caine incorporates them in his Mahler arrangements closely parallel the practices of a translator who chooses to create a "foreignizing" literary translation. The 19th-century philosopher and translation theorist Friedrich Schleiermacher explained that in a foreignizing translation "the translator leaves the writer alone as much as possible and moves the reader toward the writer." Foreignizing translations accentuate the otherness of the original work, approximating the foreign text's form and syntax in the receiving language and using an uncommon, heterogeneous vocabulary. The resulting translations, which challenge readers with their frequent defiance of the conventions of the receiving linguistic culture, create literal, exaggerated readings that better convey authors' characteristic use of their own languages for a new audience. ...

Form, Style, Function and Rhetoric in Gottlob Harrer's Sinfonias: A Case Study in the Early History of the Symphony
Date: August 2003
Creator: Rober, Russell Todd
Description: Gottlob Harrer (1703-1755) composed at least twenty-seven sinfonias for his patron Count Heinrich von Bruhl in Dresden from 1731-1747, placing them among the earliest concert symphonies written. Harrer's mostly autograph sinfonia manuscripts are significant documents that provide us with a more thorough understanding of musical activities in and around Dresden. Several of the works indicate topical references, including dance, march, and hunt allusions, that comment on the Dresden social occasions for which Harrer composed these works. Harrer mixes topical references with other gestures in several of his sinfonias to create what I believe is an unrecognized affective language functioning in instrumental works of the time. An examination of the topical allusions in Harrer's works solidifies their connection to the social milieu for which he wrote them, and therefore better defines the genre of the concert sinfonia of the time. The first part of this study of Harrer's sinfonias addresses evidence about the composer, his patron, Dresden society, and the circumstances surrounding the first performances of several works, musical evidence of the composer's stylistic and formal approach to the genre, and the rhetorical meaning of topical gestures in the scores in ways not yet explored. In this dissertation, I demonstrate that ...

The Full Anthems and Services of John Blow and the Question of an English Stile Antico
Date: August 1990
Creator: King, Deborah Simpkin
Description: John Blow (1649-1708) was among the first group of boys pressed into the service of King Charles II, following the decade of Puritan rule. Blow would make compositional efforts as early as 1664 and, at the age of nineteen, began to assume professional positions within the London musical establishment, ultimately becoming, along with his pupil and colleague, Henry Purcell, London's foremost musician. Restoration sacred music is generally thought of in connection with the stile nuovo which, for the first time, came to be a fully accepted practice among English musicians for the church. But the English sacred polyphonic art, little threatened by England's largely political Reformation, embodied sufficient flexibility as to allow it to absorb new ideas, thereby remaining vital well into the seventeenth century. Preserved from decisive Italian influences by the Interregnum, the English sacred polyphonic tradition awoke at the Restoration full of potential for continuing creative activity. In addition to studying Blow's polyphonic compositions, including the transcription of several not available in modern edition, this paper seeks to address the unique nature of the English polyphonic tradition which allowed it to retain its vitality throughout the seventeenth century, while other polyphonic traditions were succumbing to the ossifying influences ...

Liturgy, Music, and Patronage at the Cappella di Medici in the Church of San Lorenzo in Florence, 1550-1609
Date: August 1995
Creator: Kim, Hae-Jeong
Description: This dissertation describes the musical and religious support of the Medici family to the Medici Chapel in Florence and the historical role of the church of San Lorenzo in the liturgical development of the period. During the later Middle Ages polyphony was allowed in the Office services only at Matins and Lauds during the Tenebrae service, the last three days of Holy Week, and at Vespers anytime. This practice continued until the end of the sixteenth century when more polyphonic motets based on the Antiphon and Responsory began to be included in the various Office hours during feast days. This practice is documented by the increased number of pieces that appear in the manuscripts. Two of the transcriptions from the church of San Lorenzo included in the appendix are selected from this later repertoire.

Mail Order Music: the Hinners Organ Company in the Dakotas, 1879-1936
Date: August 1997
Creator: Alcorn-Oppedahl, Allison A. (Allison Ann)
Description: Founded in 1879 by John L. Hinners, the Hinners Organ Company developed a number of stock models of small mechanical-action instruments that were advertised throughout the Midwest. Operating without outside salesmen, the company was one of the first to conduct all of its affairs by mail, including the financial arrangements, selection of the basic design, and custom alterations where required. Buyers first met a company representative when he arrived by train to set up the crated instrument that had been shipped ahead of him. Tracker organs with hand-operated bellows were easily repaired by local craftsmen, and were suited to an area that, for the most part, lacked electricity. In all, the company constructed nearly three thousand pipe organs during its sixty years of operation. Rapid decline of the firm began in the decade prior to 1936 during which the company sold fewer than one hundred instruments, and closed in that year when John's son Arthur found himself without sufficient financial resources to weather the lengthy depression. The studies of the original-condition Hinners organs in the Dakotas include extensive photographs and measurements, and provide an excellent cross section of the smaller instruments produced by the company. They are loud, excellently crafted, ...

Musical Arrangements and Questions of Genre: A Study of Liszt's Interpretive Approaches
Date: May 2010
Creator: Van Dine, Kara Lynn
Description: Through his exceptional creative and performing abilities, Franz Liszt was able to transform compositions of many kinds into unified, intelligible, and pleasing arrangements for piano. Nineteenth-century definitions of "arrangement" and "Klavierauszug," which focus on the process of reworking a composition for a different medium, do not adequately describe Liszt's work in this area. His piano transcriptions of Schubert's songs, Berlioz's Symphonie fantastique and the symphonies of Beethoven are not note-for-note transcriptions; rather, they reinterpret the originals in recasting them as compositions for solo piano. Writing about Liszt's versions of Schubert's songs, a Viennese critic identified as "Carlo" heralded Liszt as the creator of a new genre and declared him to have made Schubert's songs the property of cultured pianists. Moreover, Liszt himself designated his work with Berlioz's Symphonie fantastique and the symphonies of Beethoven "Partitions de piano": literally, piano scores. As is well known, concepts of genre in general create problems for musicologists; musical arrangements add a new dimension of difficulty to the problem. Whereas Carl Dahlhaus identifies genre as a tool for interpreting composers' responses to the social dimension of music in the fabric of individual compositions, Jeffrey Kallberg perceives it as a "social phenomenon shared by composers and ...

The Musical Fallout of Political Activism: Government Investigations of Musicians in the United States, 1930-1960
Date: August 1993
Creator: McCall, Sarah B.
Description: Government investigations into the motion picture industry are well-documented, as is the widespread blacklisting that was concurrent. Not nearly so well documented are the many investigations of musicians and musical organizations which occurred during this same period. The degree to which various musicians and musical organizations were investigated varied considerably. Some warranted only passing mention, while others were rigorously questioned in formal Congressional hearings. Hanns Eisler was deported as a result of the House Committee on Un-American Activities' (HUAC) investigation into his background and activities in the United States. Leonard Bernstein, Marc Blitzstein, and Aaron Copland are but a few of the prominent composers investigated by the government for their involvement in leftist organizations. The Symphony of the Air was denied visas for a Near East tour after several orchestra members were implicated as Communists. Members of musicians' unions in New York and Los Angeles were called before HUAC hearings because of alleged infiltration by Communists into their ranks. The Metropolitan Music School of New York, led by its president-emeritus, the composer Wallingford Riegger, was the subject of a two day congressional hearing in New York City. There is no way to measure either quantitatively or qualitatively the effect of ...

Myth in the Early Collaborations of Benjamin Britten and William Plomer
Date: August 2005
Creator: Salfen, Kevin McGregor
Description: Although the most well-known collaborations of William Plomer and Benjamin Britten are the three church parables (or church operas) - Curlew River, The Burning Fiery Furnace, and The Prodigal Son - by the time of the completion of Curlew River in 1964, the librettist and composer had been working together for well over a decade. During that time, they had completed the opera Gloriana and had considered collaborating on three other projects: one a children's opera on Beatrix Potter's The Tale of Mr. Tod, one on an original story of Plomer's called "Tyco the Vegan," and one on a Greek myth (possibly Arion, Daedalus and Icarus, or Phaëthon). Far from being footnotes to the parables, these early collaborations established Plomer and Britten's working relationship and brought to light their common interests as well as their independent ones. Their successive early collaborations, therefore, can be thought of as a conversation through creative expression. This metaphor of conversation can be applied both to successive collaborations and to the completed Gloriana, in that the libretto and the music can be seen as representing different interpretations of both major and minor characters in the opera, including Elizabeth I and Robert Devereux, Earl of Essex. ...

"Now His Time Really Seems to Have Come": Ideas about Mahler's Music in Late Imperial and First Republic Vienna
Date: December 2009
Creator: Kinnett, Forest Randolph
Description: In Vienna from about 1918 until the 1930s, contemporaries perceived a high point in the music-historical significance of Mahler's works, with regard to both the history of compositional style and the social history of music. The ideas and meanings that became attached to Mahler's works in this milieu are tied inextricably to the city's political and cultural life. Although the performances of Mahler's works under the auspices of Vienna's Social Democrats are sometimes construed today as mere acts of political appropriation, David Josef Bach's writings suggest that the innovative and controversial aspects of Mahler's works held social value in line with the ideal of Arbeiterbildung. Richard Specht, Arnold Schoenberg, and Theodor Adorno embraced oft-criticized features in Mahler's music, regarding the composer as a prophetic artist whose compositional style was the epitome of faithful adherence to one's inner artistic vision, regardless of its popularity. While all three critics addressed the relationship between detail and whole in Mahler's music, Adorno construed it as an act of subversion. Mahler's popularity also affected Viennese composers during this time in obvious and subtle ways. The formal structure and thematic construction of Berg's Chamber Concerto suggest a compositional approach close to what his student Adorno described ...

Opera at the Threshold of a Revolution: Francis Poulenc's Dialogues des Carmélites (1953-1956)
Date: December 2011
Creator: Beard, Cynthia C.
Description: Francis Poulenc's three-act opera Dialogues des Carmélites (1953-1956) depicts the struggles of the novice nun Blanche de la Force during the Reign of Terror of the French Revolution. The use of Latin liturgical music at critical points in the opera conveys the ritualistic nature of Catholic worship. The spiritual message of mystical substitution, along with the closely related notion of vicarious suffering, imbue the opera with a spirituality that offers a sharp contrast to earlier operatic settings of Catholic texts, particularly during the age of grand opera. Marian devotion also plays an important role in the opera. The final tableau of the opera stages the execution of Blanche and her sisters, complete with the sound of a guillotine, with the nuns singing the Salve Regina as they proceed to the scaffold. The multivalence of the final tableau highlights the importance of voice and its absence. While the nuns, onstage spectators, and the guillotine are audibly present in the scene, the priest participates solely through gesture. The surfacing of the Lacanian Real in the silent moment of traumatic shock that follows the guillotine's first fall allows for intertextual references to the opera in Poulenc's Sonate pour Flûte et Piano (1957) to ...

Orchestral Accompaniment in the Vocal Works of Hector Berlioz
Date: May 1994
Creator: Lee, Namjai
Description: Recent Berlioz studies tend to stress the significance of the French tradition for a balanced understanding of Berlioz's music. Such is necessary because the customary emphasis on purely musical structure inclines to stress the influence of German masters to the neglect of vocal and therefore rhetorical character of this tradition. The present study, through a fresh examination of Berlioz's vocal-orchestral scores, sets forth the various orchestrational patterns and the rationales that lay behind them.

Patronage, Connoisseurship and Antiquarianism in Georgian England: The Fitzwilliam Music Collection (1763-1815)
Date: December 2011
Creator: Heiden, Mary Gifford
Description: In eighteenth-century Britain, many aristocrats studied music, participated as amateurs in musical clubs, and patronized London's burgeoning concert life. Richard Fitzwilliam, Seventh Viscount Fitzwilliam of Merrion and Thorncastle (1745-1816), was one such patron and amateur. Fitzwilliam shaped his activities – participation, patronage, and collecting – in a unique way that illustrates his specialized tastes and interests. While as an amateur musician he sang in the Noblemen's and Gentlemen's Catch Club (the premiere social club dedicated to musical performance), he rose to the highest level of patronage by spearheading the Handel Commemoration Festival of 1784 and serving for many years as a Director of the Concert of Antient Music, the most prestigious concert series in Georgian Britain. His lasting legacy, however, was his bequest to Cambridge University of his extensive collection of art, books and music, as well as sufficient funds to establish the Fitzwilliam Museum. At the time of his death, Fitzwilliam's collection of music was the best in the land, save that in the Royal Library. Thus, his collection is ideally suited for examination as proof of his activities, taste and connoisseurship. Moreover, the music in Fitzwilliam's collection shows his participation in the contemporary musicological debate, evidenced by his ...

Poetry and Patronage: Alessandro Scarlatti, The Accademia Degli Arcadia, and the Development of the Conversazione Cantata in Rome 1700-1710
Date: May 2005
Creator: Hale Harris, Kimberly Coulter
Description: The special relationship of patrons, librettists, and composers, in the Accademia degli'Arcadia in Rome from 1700-1710 appears in Alessandro Scarlatti's settings of Antonio Ottoboni's cantata librettos in the anthology GB Lbm. Add. 34056. An examination of Arcadian cantatas and their texts reveals the nature of their audience, function, and their place within the historical development of the genre. The conversazione cantata did not exist outside of Rome and was popular for only a brief period in the early eighteenth century. Critical examination of primary sources, including minutes from the Arcadian Academy meetings as well as household documents regarding the Cardinals Ottoboni and Pamphili, Prince Ruspoli, and other noble families, sheds light on the culture of the Arcadian Academy and the cantata within it, broader study clarifies the individuality of the conversazione cantata within Rome, and closer study of the contribution of the greatest cantata composer 1700-1710, Alessandro Scarlatti.

Polyphonic Harmony in Three of Ferruccio Busoni's Orchestral Elegies
Date: May 2015
Creator: Davis, Colin
Description: This dissertation focuses on three of Busoni's late orchestral works known as "orchestral elegies": Berceuse élégiaque (Elegie no. 1, 1909), Gesang vom Reigen der Geister (Elegie no. 4, 1915), and Sarabande (Elegie no. 5, 1918-19). The study seeks to provide a better understanding of Busoni's late style as a crucial bridge from late nineteenth-century chromaticism in the works of Liszt, Wagner, and others to the post-tonal languages of the twentieth century. At the heart of this study lies a particular concept that forms the basis of many characteristic features of Busoni's late style, namely the concept of polyphonic harmony, or harmony as a cumulative result of independent melodic lines. This concept is also related to a technique of orchestration in which the collective harmony is sounded in such a way that the individual voices are distinct. In the highly personal tonal language of Busoni's late works, passages often consist of a web of motives weaved throughout the voices at the surface level of the music. Linear analysis provides a means of unravelling the dense fabric of voices and illustrating the underlying harmonic progressions, which most often consist of parallel, primarily semitonal, progressions of tertian sonorities. Chapter 1 provides a backdrop ...

The Prologue in the Seventeenth-Century Venetian Operatic Libretto: its Dramatic Purpose and the Function of its Characters
Date: August 1998
Creator: Miller, Robin A. (Robin Annette)
Description: The Italian seicento has been considered a dead century by many literary scholars. As this study demonstrates, such a conclusion ignores important literary developments in the field of librettology. Indeed, the seventeenth-century operatic libretto stands as a monument to literary invention. Critical to the development of this new literary genre was the prologue, which provided writers with a context in which to experiment and achieve literary transcendence. This study identifies approximately 260 dramatic works written in Venice between the years 1637 and 1682, drawn together for the first time from three sources: librettos in the Drammaturgia di Leone Allacci accresciuta e continuata fino all'anno MCDDLV; the musical manuscripts listed in the Codici Musicali Contariniani; and a chronological list of seventeenth-century Venetian operas found in Cristoforo Ivanovich's Minerva al Tavolino. Of the 260 Venetian works identified, over 98 begin with self-contained prologues. This discovery alone warrants a reconsideration of the seventeenth-century Italian libretto and the emergence of the dramatic prologue as a new and important literary genre.

Reading Handel: A Textual and Musical Analysis of Handel's Acis and Galatea (1708, 1718)
Date: August 2005
Creator: Chang, Young-Shim
Description: The purpose of this dissertation is two-fold: one is to analyze the narratives of Acis and Galatea written by Ovid, and the two libretti by Handel's librettists including Nicola Giuvo (1708) and John Gay (1718) with John Hughes and Alexander Pope; the other is to correlate this textual analysis within the musical languages. A 1732 pastiche version is excluded because its bilingual texts are not suitable for the study of relationships between meaning and words. For this purpose, the study uses the structural theory- -mainly that of Gérard Genette--as a theoretical framework for the analysis of the texts. Narrative analysis of Acis and Galatea proves that the creative process of writing the libretto is a product of a conscious acknowledgement of its structure by composer and librettists. They put the major events of the story into recitative and ensemble. By examining the texts of both Handel's work, I explore several structural layers from the libretti: the change of the characterization to accommodate a specific occasion and the composer's response to contemporary English demand for pastoral drama with parodistic elements, alluding to the low and high class of society. Further, Polyphemus is examined in terms of relationships with culture corresponding to ...

Reconsidering the Lament: Form, Content, and Genre in Italian Chamber Recitative Laments: 1600-1640
Date: December 2004
Creator: Chung, Kyung-Young
Description: Scholars have considered Italian chamber recitative laments only a transitional phenomenon between madrigal laments and laments organized on the descending tetrachord bass. However, the recitative lament is distinguished from them by its characteristic attitude toward the relationship between music and text. Composer of Italian chamber recitative laments attempted to express more subtle, refined and sometimes complicated emotion in their music. For that purpose, they intentionally created discrepancies between text and music. Sometimes they even destroy the original structure of text in order to clearly deliver the composer's own voice. The basic syntactic structure is deconstructed and reconstructed along with their reading and according to their intention. The discrepancy between text and music is, however, expectable and natural phenomena since text cannot be completely translated or transformed to music and vice versa. The composers of Italian chamber recitative laments utilized their innate heterogeneity between two materials (music and text) as a metaphor that represents the semantic essence of the genre, the conflict. In this context, Italian chamber recitative laments were a real embodiment of the so-called seconda prattica and through the study of them, finally, we more fully able to understand how the spirit of late Renaissance flourished in Italy in ...

Reconstructing Convention: Ensemble Forms in the Operas of Jules Massenet
Date: December 2004
Creator: Straughn, Gregory
Description: Over the last quarter-century, scholars have taken a unified approach in discussing form in Italian and French opera of the nineteenth century. This approach centers around the four-part aria and duet form begun by Bellini, codified by Rossini, modified by Verdi, and dissolved by Puccini. A similar trajectory can be seen in French opera in the works of Meyerbeer, Gounod, and Massenet; however, only Meyerbeer and Gounod have received significant critical attention. This is in part due to Massenet's reception as a "composer for the people," a title ill fitting and ripe for reconsideration. This dissertation will examine duet forms in Massenet's oeuvre and will focus on the gradual change in style manifest in his twenty-five operas. Massenet's output can be divided into three distinct periods delineated by his approach to form. Representative works from each period will show how he inherited, interpreted, thwarted, and ultimately rewrote the standard formal conventions of his time and in doing so, created a dramaturgical approach to opera that unified the formerly separate number-based elements. Massenet's longevity and popular appeal make him the quintessential French opera composer of the fin de siècle and the natural choice for examining reconstructed conventions.

Didn't like 'Gravity'? You're not alone
"What are you all on? This movie was awful," a commenter named "Aaron" wrote under movie critic Christy Lemire's review at ChristyLemire.com. "... The dialogue was dreadful, the action utterly implausible, the paper-thin quasi-philosophy trite at best, zero emotional engagement - it's just expensive crap." As long as there are great movies, there will be a small group ... Continue reading ›

More than 200 people gathered at the Aiken Training Track's clocker's stand on Friday morning to learn more about the sport of Thoroughbred racing.
It was for the Eighth Annual Breakfast at the Gallops, an event benefiting the Aiken Thoroughbred Racing Hall of Fame and Museum.
The event was held before the kickoff of the Aiken Triple Crown, which begins today with the 72nd running of the Aiken Trials.
Thoroughbred owner and photographer Barry Bornstein served as the Master of Ceremonies for the event. The breakfast originally had been scheduled for Wednesday, but was moved to Friday because of weather concerns.
Thoroughbred racing enthusiasts had an opportunity to get an in-depth look at the training routine of horses – horses that are conditioned over a track that has produced 39 national champions.
Thoroughbred trainer Suzy Haslup was on horseback providing those in attendance with a unique perspective – that of what the trainer sees, the role of the exercise riders and how the horse benefits from its time in Aiken before being shipped to racetracks nationwide.
"This is the largest crowd we've ever had," said Lisa Hall, Aiken Thoroughbred Racing Hall of Fame and Museum programs supervisor, who said she was very appreciative of the trainers for their cooperation and accommodating nature. "We've never had to park people on the outfield of the training track. We had a good crew out here parking, and they were very careful of the horses."
Among the speakers lending their expertise to the event was W. Cothran Campbell, Dogwood Stable president.
"I love Aiken and the Aiken Training Track," said Campbell. "It's wonderful to see all these people out here. A lot of them will connect with horses in one way or another. It's great to see these racehorses. It's shocking sometimes that there are people in Aiken that don't know that this track even exists, and yet it is one of the things that makes Aiken famous. Some of the greatest horses of all time have trained here."
Aiken Trials gates will open today at 10 a.m. at the Aiken Training Track, located at 538 Two Notch Road.
For more information and prices, visit www.aikentrials.com or call 803-648-4631.
Ben Baugh has been covering the equine industry and equestrian sport for the Aiken Standard since 2004. Among the awards Baugh has won include the 2003 Raleigh Burroughs Award as the turf writer making the most impact on the Florida Thoroughbred Industry. Baugh is a member of the National Turf Writers and Broadcasters Association, worked for North America's leading Thoroughbred breeder Adena Springs in Ocala, Fla.

Online marketing has become a gateway for self-storage operators to reach a much broader audience. Through facility websites, self-storage directories and organic searches, facility operators can reach potential tenants far beyond the previously set three-mile market. Self-storage owners and managers are implementing pay-per-click and online Yellow Pages advertising, and embracing social-media outlets such as Twitter, Facebook, MySpace and LinkedIn. They are also exploring search-engine optimization (SEO), search-engine marketing (SEM), local search, and third-party referral sites to reach new customers via the Web.

A Troop went to a school in Houston one time and when he came out the unit was stripped and sitting on blocks.

Information Governance: Three Tips for Success
Ron McMurtrieThursday, March 24 th, 2016Comments: Comments Off
Despite the pervasiveness of information governance (IG), most organizations have not been successful in implementing an IG strategy. Some of the challenges include a lack of clear organizational goals, attempting to do too much too soon, or failing to gain organizational or business unit support. However, IG is vital to an organization's long-term success, and should be a priority.
Sean Pike, Program Director, eDiscovery and Information Governance, IDC, provides three tips for success including how to create new strategies, refine expectation and inject technology. Watch the video or read the report.

Migrating grays find choice dining in Sitka
Gray whales are making their annual migration up the North American coastline. Several have stopped in Sitka Sound for a few days to rest and feed, and at least two have found some choice dining right below the parking lot of the SeaMart grocery store. KCAW's Robert Woolsey met with marine mammal biologist Jan Straley to learn more about the gray whales' detour into Sitka Sound.
Mayor "bullish" on Sitka
Mayor Scott McAdams is bullish on Sitka. McAdams, who was elected to the mayor's seat on the assembly last October, gave his first "state of the city" address to the Chamber of Commerce on Wednesday.
City to contribute $5.9 million to local schools
The Sitka assembly approved contributing $5.9 million dollars in city funds toward the school district next year. At this stage in the lengthy school budget process, the vote is usually considered procedural by the assembly. But a couple of assembly members thought that in light of the ongoing national recession, the schools should look for ways to economize.
Higher dam to produce colder water for Sitkans, fish
Raising the height of the Blue Lake dam is expected to solve Sitka's energy problems for a decade, but the project may create a few problems along the way. The Sitka assembly last night (4-28-09) approved spending $40-thousand dollars on a fisheries consultant to try and avert at least one problem: colder water. John Blum of EES Consulting in Kirkland, Washington, will begin work this summer. Project engineer Dean Orbison explained the temperature issue:
"Heritage Tourism" to boost slumping visitor sector?
Although the McDowell report on Sitka's economy contained some unexpected good news, at least one industry sector is anticipating a significant deline in 2009. With 221-thousand passengers coming to Sitka, the cruise industry will see its lowest volume since 2001. Fred Reeder, with Cruise Line Agencies of Alaska, and Camille Ferguson, with Sitka Tribal Enterprises, followed McDowell's report with a look at the 2009 visitor season.
Goodbye SJC: Final graduation brings loss of accreditation
Sheldon Jackson College has graduated its last students. The 130-year old Sitka institution closed its doors in 2007, but a handful of students were able to complete their degrees through an arrangement with the University of Alaska. The success is bittersweet. With no more students and no more programs, Alaska's oldest educational institution is officially gone.
Comment period opened on charter halibut permits
The Secretary of Commerce is taking public comment on a proposed rule that would establish a limited-entry system for the guided sport halibut fleet in Southeast and Southcentral Alaska. The rule was published today (Tue 4-21-09) in the Federal Register. If approved by the Secretary, it will create a permit system for halibut charter boats similar to limited entry permits already in place for Alaska' commercial fisheries.
Nat'l economic crisis boon to SE economy?
With some notable exceptions, the economy of Southeast Alaska may have improved over the last year. In a presentation to the Sitka Economic Development Association on Thursday (4-16-09) Juneau economist Eric McDowell said that the national economic downturn has kept more people living – and working – in Southeast.
BKD infection thwarts NSRAA's coho hatchery plans
A naturally-occurring bacterial infection has delayed the opening of a new coho hatchery in Sitka. The Northern Southeast Regional Aquaculture Association – or NSRAA – says efforts to collect broodstock from a lake on southern Baranof Island have been stymied by the high incidence of bacterial kidney disease. It's meant a two-year setback for the highly-anticipated project.
Seiner Julia Kae continues tradition of sharing herring eggs
The seiner Alice H was instrumental in helping gather and distribute herring eggs when it was owned by Sonny Enloe. Sonny passed on and Steve Demmert bought the boat, named it the Julia Kae, and continues Sonny's legacy, harvesting eggs and distributing them to villages in the region.

What to see on Gallery Night
Well, happy Friday. it's Gallery Night and one of the first truly gorgeous spring days of 2009. The gods are smiling down on art in Milwaukee this week, it would seem. Here are some thoughts on what to see.
My "top pick" for the night is the Jefferson Pinder show at Inova. Pinder combines theater and art backgrounds in this series of video work in which he dons a grey suit and represents a sort of African American everyman. When was the last time we had a strong show in Milwaukee about the black, male experience? Video art is a tough art form to get right these days, and Pinder leverages it beautifully, smartly. Curator Nicholas Frank has put together a thoughtfully constructed installation of the video works – also a tall order. Inova has grown into its space and is showing off its potential as a venue.
Also on view at Inova is "There There," a show of six artists whose work appears simple and perhaps even downright lame. The title is taken from a Gertrude Stein quote and the now a common phrase: "When you get there, there isn't any there there."
There is actually a second show where you can see work related to the black, male experience. George Williams, Jr's work is on view at the Haggerty Museum of Art. He paints bodies in stances that challenge our perceptions, emotionally and physically. His work is part of the "Current Tendencies" exhibit, a survey of contemporary, regional art, which includes work by Peter Bardy, Sonja Thomsen, and others.
Please stop in and say goodbye to Paper Boat Boutique & Gallery and its owners Faythe Levine and Kim Kisiolek. The closing of this wonderful little venue, a victim of our financial downturn, is more than a little heartbreaking. Their final show is "Bullies," new work by Wisconsin artist and filmmaker Micaela O'Herlihy. The portraits are a documentation of Micaela's 10-year-old son Thurman's tormentors (see "Mikey," right).
I'd also recommend the "Artists of Pilsen" show at Walker's Point Center for the Arts, which features work made by artists from the lower west side neighborhood of Chicago, a rich ethnic area and the heart of Mexican Chicago.
Reginald Baylor is the new and first artist-in-residence at the Pfister Hotel, which is launching this space and program tonight for Gallery Night. You can see Baylor's work and working studio space, as well as tour the hotel's Victorian art collection, which is one of the largest of its kind in the world. Baylor's space is on the ground level, near the Café at the Pfister. (Congrats Reggie!)
Nationally known artist Michelle Grabner has an exceptional show up at the Green Gallery East. Her meticulously made graphite tondo drawings, which feature lines drawn from the center point to the edges, are like studies into the beginning of the universe. Each one mysteriously offers up differing results, though each "experiment" or painting is done under the same tightly controlled parameters. Here are some pictures I took and gallery owner John Riepenhoff making a case for that show:
John Riepenhoff
The MIAD senior show is always a great place to find new, talented artists. It's the work of highly motivated art students getting ready to launch careers. But it is student work, so be patient. Expect to wade through some things that don't interest you to find the stuff that does. I've been hearing great things about how the MA/MFA show is shaping up at the Peck School of the Arts, too (particularly the work of Ashley Morgan, which I've not yet seen). The show is up throughout the Kenilworth Building (where Inova is) on Saturday only.
And speaking of art school graduates, it is time for another installment of the Tory Folliard Gallery Gallery Project, an annual award and show for a local grad. The program provides students with a show and working experience with a commercial gallery. This year Alex Chaney, a senior painting major at UWM is the winning artist. His figurative works are inspired by children's drawings and Aztec culture.
For more promising, student work, consider the "Light + Paper" show at Design Within Reach, work one paper by UWM grad and undergrad students and an interactive light piece by Jesse Egan.
I'm intrigued to see the new work by Bridget Griffith Evans at Cedar Gallery, billed as a departure from her Girl series. It is part of "Showdown" an arty face-off between the artists (and the couple) behind Luckystar Studios.
Many of you know I am a fan of the work of artist Colette Odya Smith (left), she and several other artists will have their pastel pieces on view at the Katie Gingrass Gallery.
Then at the end of the night, a special treat: the unofficial Gallery Night after party. There will be a live concert by Present Music and Minneapolis-based Nobot, film screenings from Beeple and a dance party with WMSE's BTS.WRKNG. Here, check it out:

Though many optical component names are following Fabrinet higher, Oclaro (OCLR -13.7%) is selling off after reporting FQ1 revenue of $148.8M (+43% Y/Y, boosted by Opnext acquisition) and EPS of -$0.39 - the latter missed by $0.10. An 800 bps Q/Q drop in gross margin to 13% didn't help. FQ1 guidance is for revenue of $145M-$162M (below a $170M consensus) and gross margin of 12%-18%. Oclaro noted on its earnings call European and Asian demand is weak, and that results were affected by execution and Opnext integration challenges.

George M. Varner
SHADE VALLEY – George M. Varner, 89, of Shade Valley, died at 10:25 a.m. Wednesday, Jan. 23, 2013, at his home.
Born on June 26, 1923, in Lack Township, Juniata County, he was a son of the late James and Alva Vay (Shore) Varner. On July 10, 1942, he married his late wife, Beulah H. (Hart) Varner, with whom he shared more than 52 years of marriage before she preceded him in death on Nov. 10, 1994.
Surviving are: his children, William J. Varner and his fiancee, Gloria J. Apple, of Shade Valley, John "Ed" Varner and his companion, Althea Sue Coons, of Shade Gap; and he leaves behind 19 grandchildren, 36 great-grandchildren and six great-great- grandchildren.
One son, Donald M. Varner, preceded him in death. He was the last of his generation, having been preceded in death by two brothers, Martin Varner and James Varner, and three sisters, Sarah Clayton, Pearl Burdge and Dorothy Fultz.
George was a 1942 graduate of Juniata Joint High School, Mifflintown, and proudly served his country in the U.S. Army during World War II in the European, African and Middle Eastern Theaters, earning five bronze stars.
Following in his father's footsteps, he was the second generation to own and operate the family farm that at one time included Varner's Store. He was born, worked and died on the farm that he cherished.
He was a charter member of the Cross Keys Conservation Club and a member of the Tuscarora Grange No. 774, East Waterford.
His many interests included hunting and trout fishing. He was also a people person who served as a mentor to many young people as well as a concerned member of the Shade Valley community who often called friends and neighbors and visited local nursing homes. He was also known as a student of the Bible and was considered by many the local historian of Shade Valley and the surrounding area.
A funeral service will be held at 11 a.m. Monday, Jan. 28, 2013, at the Richvale United Methodist Church, Richvale, with the Revs. Robert Varner and Marlin "Butch" Neil officiating. Interment will follow in the Book Cemetery, Shade Valley, where the Juniata County Veterans Council will accord full military burial honors.
A viewing will be held from 6 to 8 p.m. Sunday, Jan. 27, 2013, at Brown Funeral Homes, Inc., 100 Bridge St., Mifflintown, and from 10 a.m. until the time of the service Monday at the church.
For those who desire, memorial donations may be made in Mr. Varner's memory to Cross Keys Conservation Club, 2195 Route 35 South, East Waterford, PA 17021.

Revolution 325mm Flybarless 3D Main Rotor Blades
Great set of blades. They came out the package perfectly balanced, unlike my Edge 325mm Flybarless Blades. They also felt better in the air than the Edge blades. I use these in a flybarless 450 Sport with a DFC head.

Darec & Ivan - BentleyRace
Models: Darec Bauer and Ivan Rivera
Studio: Bentley Race
On our last day in Berlin my mate Zac had invited a couple of guys around to our hotel for one more shoot before we left. Darec and Ivan turned up after spending the night out clubbing and told us they were ready to get off before heading home. I was starting to film a solo scene with Darec as he worked his fat cock when Ivan returned from the other room and jumped in on Darec's scene. I had no idea what was going to happen next. These guys really got into each other with Ivan slurping down Darec's thick cock. I had no idea they were going to get into some raw fucking action as the guys took turns at pounding each other. And occasionally Ivan would go to the other side of the room to tease Darec by showing off his ass hole. And then Darec would go over and fuck it. You gotta watch this video...it's really hot! Darec finishes the scene by delivering a hot load to Ivan's ass. Nice work boys! You can now go home and get some sleep.

Government to buy attack aircraft, bombs
Novan Iman Santosa
The Jakarta Post
The government is set to sign a number of memorandums of understanding on defense equipment acquisitions involving a number of domestic strategic and defense companies.
Defense Minister Purnomo Yusgiantoro said the MoUs would be signed on the opening day of the Indo Defense, which is to be held at the Jakarta International Expo in Kemayoran, Central Jakarta, on
Nov. 10-13.
Purnomo said the MoUs included the purchase of two standard squadrons of Super Tucano light attack aircraft to replace the Air Force's OV-10 Broncos.
"We will include state aircraft maker PT Dirgantara Indonesia [DI] for maintenance work. We also hope DI can manufacture some of the parts and components," he said.
Other MoUs to be signed include the purchase of P-100 and P-100L bombs locally made by a Malang in East Java-based private company in cooperation with state arms and munitions maker PT Pindad. The bombs are armaments for the Air Force's fleet of Russian made Sukhoi Su-27/30 fighters jets.
Another private company in Tulungagung will sign an MoU supplying parachutes for Indonesian paratroopers.
"We will also sign an MoU for defense rockets pending the final test results," Purnomo said.
"The test will be held Saturday at the Combat Training Center in Baturaja, South Sumatra."
Purnomo said the rockets had a range of 14 kilometers, and that the government planned to acquire 1,000 of them by 2014 and 750 by 2013.
He also added that there was still ample time for more MoUs.
The Indo Defense has been held biennially since 2004. This year's event will be held concurrently with the second Indo Aerospace and the first Indo Marine bundled in the Indo Defense, Indo Aerospace, Indo Marine (IDAM) Expo and Forum.
Purnomo said more countries and individuals would take part in the expo than in previous years.
"There will be participants from 38 countries, and 17 of them will have their own country stalls," he said.
Herman Wiriadipoera from Napindo, the event organizer, said the public would have the opportunity to enjoy aerobatics shows performed by the Roullettes from the Royal Australian Air Force.
"There will be two shows each day involving eight airplanes," he said.
The expo is open to the public on the last day with a Rp 50,000 (US$5.5) entrance ticket.
Herman said the entrance fee was being imposed not to make a profit but rather to "screen" visitors.
The organizer said it expected to receive some 20,000 visitors this year. The 2008 expo held at Halim Perdanakusumah Airport in East Jakarta received around 14,000.
