A Study of Selected Works of Ignaz Joseph Pleyel. (1964) Directed by: Dr. Lee Rigs by. 165 pp. The purpose of this study is to help fulfill a need in keyboard instruc - tion for more materials which are both worthy and exemplary of the period they reflect. For students in the intermediate grades, much of the literature re- flecting the classic style of the eighteenth century is far too difficult in its technical and interpretive demands. This is not true of many of the composi- tions of Ignaz Joseph Pleyel, but unfortunately his works fell into oblivion during the early nineteenth century and have up to the present played a very small role in the performing repertoire. The present discussion deals first with the biography of Pleyel, describ- ing his life as a composer and later as a successful business man.

Every conference organized by the international yeast community in the last two decades (Stellenbosch 1997, Rimini 1999, Prague 2001, Gothenburg 2003, Bratislava 2005, Melbourne 2007, Manchester 2009, Olsztyn 2011, Frankfurt 2013, Levico 2015) was guided by high scientific standards and was an opportunity to exchange ideas, renew old acquaintances, make new friends and promote collaborations in research. The programme of this conference has been also designed to provide an effective forum for discussing the progress of front-line yeast genetics and molecular biology research. The meeting also offers a chance to discover Prague which is indeed a focal point and heart of the continent. However, the city is not only a geographical centre of Europe, but also a place were for centuries different nations were mixing and different cultures were merging, influencing each other. Those who will walk through the narrow streets of old Prague will follow the history of Europe and its political, cultural and architectural streams. I trust that you will enjoy your stay in this city with its lively atmosphere and long tradition in hospitality. I would like to take this opportunity to express my thanks to the keynote and symposia speakers, to chairpersons of workshops as well as to all who will contribute by their presentation to workshops and poster sessions.

  • Report on the Foreign Policy of the Czech Republic 2002

    Report on the Foreign Policy of the Czech Republic 2002

    Introduction In the international arena, the Czech Republic strives to act as a democratic and politically, economically and socially stable Central European country, pursuing not only its own particular interests but also assuming its share of responsibility for the development of Europe and the entire international community. The international environment in which the Czech Republic pursues its foreign policy is a product of the interaction of a number of factors – sovereign countries, associations of countries at different levels of integration in international organisations and institutions, and non-governmental entities, ranging from non- governmental organisations to various non-transparent lobbying groups not respecting the rules of international relations, including organised crime groups and terrorist organisations. The role, import and influence of these factors fluctuate, often within a very short time span. Following the end of the cold war and the disintegration of the bi-polar world, and as a result of changes in the security environment, the intensification of globalisation processes, the liberalisation of the global economy, the increasing mutual dependence of countries, and the accelerating development of science and technology, there has been significant growth in the importance of multilateral co-operation within the framework of international organisations and integration groupings. At the same time, in the face of new threats posed by certain non- transparent entities, and terrorist organisations in particular, all international mechanisms designed to protect against such dangerous phenomena are rapidly gaining in importance. The Czech Republic, as a country which, by size and population, ranks among medium- sized countries in the European area, and as a country with an open economy, a high proportion of exports and services in the generation of its gross domestic product, and with limited natural resources, is markedly dependent on international co-operation.

One is world-famous, at least for his film music – the other known, outside his native land, only to a few cognoscen ti; one was an exile from his homeland – the other an ‘internal exile’ within his homeland, his music celebrating his people’s national aspirations under a suc ces sion of over bear - ing foreign powers. But the two are united in their music’s heartfelt and unabashed romanticism. Erich Wolfgang Korngold’s early career resembles that of Mozart, with whom he shared one of his forenames.

Dear Customer, Young Norwegian soprano Lise Davidsen has gradually been garnering attention in recent years, perhaps making the leap to a wider awareness following her award of Gramophone’s ‘Young Artist of the Year’ in 2018 and her sublime performance of Strauss’s ‘Morgen’ at the ceremony. Ariadne was her major role last year; 2019 sees her take on the part of Elisabeth in Tannhauser - Zurich and Munich have already had the pleasure and she will be taking it to Bayreuth in July, under the baton of Valery Gergiev in a brand new production. Pleasingly for those of us who won’t manage to catch her live, her debut album on Decca has just been released, featuring two arias from Tannhauser plus orchestral lieder (and one aria) by Richard Strauss. We have been hugely impressed, especially considering her mere 32 years of age, making it a clear choice for Disc of the Month. Please see our website for our full review. Other new releases to highlight for June include a second lieder recital from Decca, performed by none other than Renee Fleming; Hyperion issue the latest in their series of ‘Romantic Violin Concertos’, this volume featuring works by Lassen, Scharwenka and Langgaard; the Vaughan Williams Society offer us his works for viola and piano via the Albion label; the final instalment in the Halle’s superb Ring Cycle (Siegfried) is released on the Halle’s own label; and stunning vocal ensemble Vox Luminis give us a treat in the shape of works by the Bach Family.

    A CHORAL PILGRIMAGE Vicki Peters, Artistic Director and Conductor

    A CHORAL PILGRIMAGE Vicki Peters, Artistic Director and Conductor Friday, August 7, 2015 at 7:30 p.m. St. Michael’s Lutheran Church Roseville, MN Sunday, August 9, 2015 at 3:00 p.m. St. Mary’s Chapel at St. Paul Seminary St. Paul, MN Free concerts—contributions welcome www.voxnovachorale.org Welcome from the Artistic Director Join us on a brief historical walk through choral music through the ages! The members of Vox Nova Chorale and I are excited to present to you a program of some of our favorite choral music, touching on each musical period from Medieval to Modern, including new music presented by three emerging regional composers. You will hear how Western choral music has evolved from simple chant and plainsong into often more complex harmonies and textures. The mission of Vox Nova Chorale is to champion emerging composers, conductors, and singers, giving them an opportunity to work with outstanding choral clinicians. We were fortunate to have Dr. Matthew Culloton work with the conductors, Jocelyn Hagen with the composers, and Axel Theimer and Tesfa Wondemagegnehu with the entire choir. The clinicians held private lessons, rehearsed with the choir, and offered valuable insight to hone the skills of the musicians. This summer we are proud to have singers from eight regional colleges, including Gustavus Adolphus, Century College, Bethany Lutheran, St. Olaf, Luther, Concordia, Mankato State, and Augustana. We are grateful for our experienced singers, who mentor in their sections. Our Board consists of young people learning fundraising, marketing, and arts administration. In the fall of 2014, the Chorale was honored to be featured on a Minnesota Public Radio Regional Spotlight.
