Working alongside Peter on this project has been an extraordinary privilege. His passion for the subject matter, wealth of knowledge and zeal for precision, made him an ideal guide and companion on this expedition. Our supervision sessions were invariably thought-provoking, mind-broadening, assumption-challenging and inspirational, and I rate what I managed to learn in them as the most valuable treasures I take away from this experience. A number of scholars and archivists helped me in various ways, and without their encouragement and observations this research project would not have been as rewarding as it has turned out to be. Thanks are due to Camino Azcona, Edward Corp, Tim Crawford, Anna Edwards, Johan Eeckeloo, Michael Fleming, Lucía García Gangoiti, François-Pierre Goy, Laurent Guillo, David Irving, Brigitte Klein, Scott Landvatter, Peter Leech, Thomas McCoog SJ, Sheila Mckenzie, Patricia Ranum, Rudolf Rasch, John Rattenbury, Nathalie Rébéna, Lucy Robinson, Robert Thompson, Richard Turbet, Richard Turner, Peter Ward Jones and Maurice Whitehead. Musicians Arngeir Hauksson, Mie Hayashi, Judy Tarling and Marianna Szűcs played through many of my transcriptions and contributed their insights and expertise. I should regret to have omitted anybody, and I request their forgiveness if I have. Responsibility for any errors rests with the author. I am grateful to the Musica Britannica Trust for a Louise Dyer Award which helped support this project. Finally, this piece of research would not be here had it not been for the unwavering support of my friends and family. My wife Kate’s unique blend of love and optimism, and the arrival of our son Daniel, have provided me with much inspiration and encouragement. 3 Abstract The bass violist and composer Anthony Poole was educated in the network of Catholic Colleges that the English Jesuits kept in Europe. He went on to be ordained a Jesuit priest and to make an outstanding contribution to the musical life of the institutions he lived and taught in, notably the English College at Saint-Omer, in Spanish Flanders. Poole’s output will be shown to be of importance in the history of seventeenth-century instrumental music, especially in the context of the development of the sonata in England and division-viol music in Europe. His music has not been collected, catalogued or studied before, and this thesis presents it against the backdrop of several generations of English musicians who spent all or part of their working lives abroad. The significance of migrant musicians is often neglected by comparison with that of native musicians, perhaps because the latter fit our perceptions of national styles better, and this thesis goes some way towards appraising that contribution. The bass viol, or the ‘Brittanica Chelys’ in the words of the expatriate Latin poet Dr John Alban Gibbes, was an instrument with strong Catholic and Royalist resonances in England, and extemporising divisions on it became in post-Thirty- Years-War Europe a quintessentially English art, as will be shown in chapter one. Chapter two presents as full a biographical account as is possible at present, and chapter three considers all extant sources of Poole’s music, exploring how his works made their way to the exiled court at Saint-Germain-en-Laye, the library of Phillip Falle, the viol-playing circle of William Noble in Oxford, and elsewhere in England. This thesis contains therefore a significant contribution to our understanding of the history of English Jesuit music, the court of James II, and the circulation of Continental music in Restoration England. Chapter four is a stylistic discussion of the music, its influences and reception, and the appendix consists of a thematic index of Poole’s works. 4 Table of Contents List of Illustrations 6 List of Tables 7 List of Musical Examples 8 Note to the Reader 9 Abbreviations and Library Sigla 10 Preface 15 Chapter 1: Religion, Exile and Viols 17 English Catholicism and Exile 18 The Jesuits’ Educational Network 22 The Jesuits, The Arts and Music 26 England and the Netherlands 28 English Exile, Catholicism and the Viol 34 The Development of a Solo Bass Viol Repertoire 63 Chapter 2: A Biographical Account of Anthony Poole 73 Childhood in England 74 A Scholar at St Omers (1641-1646) 87 The English College in Rome (1646-1648) 105 1648-1658 120 Back at St Omers (1659-1678) 128 Liège (1679-1692) 147 Chapter 3: Sources, their Relationships and Transmission 151 Music for Bass Viol 152 Music for Violin and Continuo 212 Music for Violin, Bass Viol and Continuo 224 Music for Two Bass Viols and Continuo 236 Music for Two Violins, Bass and Continuo 240 Incomplete Works (Uncertain Scoring) 248 Chapter 4: Stylistic Matters 252 Music for Bass Viol or Violin with and without Continuo 253 Music for Violin, Bass Viol and Continuo 279 Music for Two Bass Viols and Continuo 284 Music for Two Violins, Bass and Continuo 286 5 Conclusions 292 Bibliography 295 Appendix: A Thematic Index of Works by Anthony Poole 321 List of Illustrations 1.1 ‘Artois’ in Joan Blaeu, Theatrum Orbis Terrarum, sive, Atlas Novus, part I (1657), by permission of Leiden Regional Archives. 25 2.1 ‘Derbyshire’ in Joan Blaeu, Theatrum Orbis Terrarum, sive, Atlas Novus, part IV (1648), by permission of Leiden Regional Archives. 75 2.2 Family chart for Anthony Poole and the Pooles of Spinkhill 77 2.3 Detail from a Saint-Omer engraving by F.

  • Counting Maternity: the Measure of Midwifery in Australia, 2002
    COUNTING MATERNITY: THE MEASURE OF MIDWIFERY IN AUSTRALIA, 2002 by Sally Katherine Tracy A PROFESSIONAL DOCTORATE SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF MIDWIFERY UNIVERSITY OF TECHNOLOGY, SYDNEY DECEMBER 2002 1 ABSTRACT The aim of this Professional Doctorate in Midwifery is to challenge the status quo in maternity services through scholarly reflection and research. Through the studies reported here I aim to provide women with information on which to make informed choices about the services available to them, and to ensure politicians become more responsive to the lack of options currently available in Australia. My aim is also to provide measures that would allow maternity service managers to deploy resources more efficiently to achieve the best care. The majority of the papers in the portfolio are derived from population data that is routinely collected in Australia. One of the cornerstones of healthcare improvement is creating meaningful information and measurement from these collections. True comparisons from accurate data can be used to better understand the nature of the system, and to gauge whether changes have been effective. Thus, the information derived from various collections of routinely collected data is used to measure and evaluate the maternity services. This measures only part of the experience of childbirth, however. The Doctorate is a collection of nine major works undertaken in the years 1999 to 2002, during my appointment as a research midwife with the Australian Midwifery Action Project (AMAP). The first paper is an essay that tells of the juxtaposition of two different worldviews and the paradigmatic issues that shape the professional differences between obstetrics and midwifery.

  • Colombian Nationalism: Four Musical Perspectives for Violin and Piano
    COLOMBIAN NATIONALISM: FOUR MUSICAL PERSPECTIVES FOR VIOLIN AND PIANO by Ana Maria Trujillo A Dissertation Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Musical Arts Major: Music The University of Memphis December 2011 ABSTRACT Trujillo, Ana Maria. DMA. The University of Memphis. December/2011. Colombian Nationalism: Four Musical Perspectives for Violin and Piano. Dr. Kenneth Kreitner, Ph.D. This paper explores the Colombian nationalistic musical movement, which was born as a search for identity that various composers undertook in order to discover the roots of Colombian musical folklore. These roots, while distinct, have all played a significant part in the formation of the culture that gave birth to a unified national identity. It is this identity that acts as a recurring motif throughout the works of the four composers mentioned in this study, each representing a different stage of the nationalistic movement according to their respective generations, backgrounds, and ideological postures. The idea of universalism and the integration of a national identity into the sphere of the Western musical tradition is a dilemma that has caused internal struggle and strife among generations of musicians and artists in general. This paper strives to open a new path in the research of nationalistic music for violin and piano through the analyses of four works written for this type of chamber ensemble: the third movement of the Sonata Op. 7 No.1 for Violin and Piano by Guillermo Uribe Holguín; Lopeziana, piece for Violin and Piano by Adolfo Mejía; Sonata for Violin and Piano No.3 by Luís Antonio Escobar; and Dúo rapsódico con aires de currulao for Violin and Piano by Andrés Posada.

  • Coventry in the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography
    Coventry in the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography The Oxford Dictionary of National Biography is the national record of people who have shaped British history, worldwide, from the Romans to the 21st century. The Oxford DNB (ODNB) currently includes the life stories of over 60,000 men and women who died in or before 2017. Over 1,300 of those lives contain references to Coventry, whether of events, offices, institutions, people, places, or sources preserved there. Of these, over 160 men and women in ODNB were either born, baptized, educated, died, or buried there. Many more, of course, spent periods of their life in Coventry and left their mark on the city’s history and its built environment. This survey brings together over 300 lives in ODNB connected with Coventry, ranging over ten centuries, extracted using the advanced search ‘life event’ and ‘full text’ features on the online site (www.oxforddnb.com). The same search functions can be used to explore the biographical histories of other places in the Coventry region: Kenilworth produces references in 229 articles, including 44 key life events; Leamington, 235 and 95; and Nuneaton, 69 and 17, for example. Most public libraries across the UK subscribe to ODNB, which means that the complete dictionary can be accessed for free via a local library. Libraries also offer 'remote access' which makes it possible to log in at any time at home (or anywhere that has internet access). Elsewhere, the ODNB is available online in schools, colleges, universities, and other institutions worldwide.

  • Irish Spurge (Euphorbia Hyberna) in England: Native Or Naturalised?
    British & Irish Botany 1(3): 243-249, 2019 Irish Spurge (Euphorbia hyberna) in England: native or naturalised? John Lucey* Kilkenny, Ireland *Corresponding author: John Lucey, email: [email protected] This pdf constitutes the Version of Record published on 13th August 2019 Abstract Most modern authorities have considered Euphorbia hyberna to be native in Britain but with the possibility that it could have been introduced from Ireland. The results from a literature survey, on the historical occurrence of the species, strongly suggest that it was introduced and has become naturalised at a few locations in south-west England. Keywords: status; Cornwall; Devon; Lusitanian; horticulture Introduction The Irish Spurge (Euphorbia hyberna L.) is an extremely rare plant in England with only recent occurrences for west Cornwall, north Devon and south Somerset (Stace, 2010) although now extinct in the last vice-county (Crouch, 2014). The earliest records for the three vice-counties contained in the Botanical Society of Britain and Ireland (BSBI) Database (DDb) are: 1842 v.c.4 Lynton (Ward, N.B. More, W.S.) 1883 vc.1 Portreath (Marquand, E.D.) 1898 v.c.5 Badgworthy Valley (Salmon, C.E.) As the only element of the so-called Lusitanian flora in England, with an extremely restricted distribution pattern in the south-west, the species represents an unresolved biogeographical conundrum: native or naturalised? A review of the historical literature can provide valuable information on a species’ occurrence and thus may help in determining if it may have been introduced to a region. Botanical and other literature sources on the historical occurrence of E.
