  • Bass Clarinets
    Cinematic Tension FX 2 User Manual Bass Clarinets Cinematic Tension FX 2: Bass Clarinets is our second offering of a unique new woodwind library that offers original composed and orchestrated runs up, spills down, crescendo pushes, hits, textures and ambiences, phrase gestures and ostinatos of 8 bass clarinets. In the future we are planning on offering more of these in the same layout with woodwinds such as the piccolo, flute, contrabass flute, clarinet, contrabass clarinet, alto and tenor saxophones, bari and bass saxophones, ethnic winds and more. Included with the library is a pdf score of all the composed samples in case you would like to augment these sounds with a live woodwind section. Notes from Frank Macchia: One of the main things I wanted to accomplish with CTFX2 was the ability to tempo sync the various phrases and textures to the DAW's tempos, and we have accomplished that with this volume. This means that when you trigger a sample phrase that will do a one bar effect, whether the tempo is mm= 76, mm= 123 or mm= 276 the phrase will play at that tempo for one bar. I feel this is a big deal for composers who want a flurry upward, a crescendo push or a spill downward to not have to spend time trying to "fly in" one of those effects and randomly have to keep adjusting it until it fits correctly. Now you can just start your sequence one bar before the hit point and perfectly play in your phrase. I have also included reverse samples of the sounds which get triggered by using the mod wheel, to give even more sound possibilities with this library.

  • Ezekiel's Two Sticks and Eschatological Violence in the Pentecostal Tradition
    EZEKIEL’S TWO STICKS AND ESCHATOLOGICAL VIOLENCE IN THE PENTECOSTAL TRADITION: AN INTERTEXTUAL LITERARY ANALYSIS BY ALICIA R. JACKSON A THESIS SUBMITTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF BIRMINGHAM FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY DEPARTMENT OF THEOLOGY AND RELIGION COLLEGE OF ARTS AND LAW UNIVERSITY OF BIRMINGHAM JANUARY 16, 2018 i University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties.

Further distribution or reproduction in any format is prohibited without the permission of the copyright holder. Copyright © Alicia R. Jackson 2018 All Rights Reserved ii ABSTRACT This thesis explores the topic of eschatological violence in the Pentecostal tradition through an intertextual literary analysis of Ezekiel 36:16—39:29 and Revelation 19:11—21 and 20:7—10 by investigating primarily how the intentional literary placement of the ‘Two Sticks’ oracle (Ezek 37:15—28) between the ‘Dry Bones’ vision (Ezek 37:1—14) and the ‘Gog of Magog’ war (Ezek 38:1—39:29) informs the reader’s theological understanding of the message of Ezekiel 36:16—39:29 as a whole. Secondarily, this thesis considers how the allusion to Ezek 38—39 in Rev 19:11—21 and 20:7—10 enhances the reader’s theological understanding of Ezek 36:16—39:29, yielding an intertextual reading that challenges the way these texts have long been understood in popular Pentecostal contexts.

  • JAZZ EDUCATION in ISRAEL by LEE CAPLAN a Thesis Submitted to The
    JAZZ EDUCATION IN ISRAEL by LEE CAPLAN A Thesis submitted to the Graduate School-Newark Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts Graduate Program in Jazz History and Research written under the direction of Dr. Henry Martin and approved by ___________________________________ ___________________________________ Newark, New Jersey May,2017 ©2017 Lee Caplan ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS JAZZ EDUCATION IN ISRAEL By LEE CAPLAN Thesis Director Dr. Henry Martin Jazz Education in Israel is indebted to three key figures – Zvi Keren, Arnie Lawrence, and Mel Keller. This thesis explores how Jazz developed in Israel and the role education played. Jazz Education in Israel discusses the origin of educational programs such as the Rimon School of Jazz and Contemporary Music (1985) and the New School Jazz Program (1986). One question that was imperative to this study was attempting to discover exactly how Jazz became a cultural import and export within Israel. Through interviews included in this thesis, this study uncovers just that. The interviews include figures such as Tal Ronen, Dr. Arnon Palty, Dr. Alona Sagee, and Keren Yair Dagan. As technology gets more advanced and the world gets smaller, Jazz finds itself playing a larger role in humanity as a whole. iii Preface The idea for this thesis came to me when I was traveling abroad during the summer of 2015. I was enjoying sightseeing throughout the streets of Ben Yehuda Jerusalem contemplating topics when all of a sudden I came across a jam session. I went over to listen to the music and was extremely surprised to find musicians from all parts of Europe coming together in a small Jazz venue in Israel playing bebop standards at break-neck speeds.
