History Etched in Stone: Gravestone Art and the Garrison Graveyard at Annapolis Royal
W.P. Kerr W.P. W.P. Kerr H IS T O R Y ET The garrison graveyard at Fort Anne National Historic Site of Canada in Annapolis Royal, Nova Scotia, is one of the most historic graveyards in Canada. The town in which it is located is today charming and picturesque C HISTORY yet for over a century it was a military stronghold, whether known as Port- HED Royal or after 1710 as Annapolis Royal. The place was alternately attacked and defended by the French or the British in the long struggle for military supremacy in North America. The garrison graveyard is the resting place for I hundreds of French, Acadian, and British military personnel and civilians N ETCHED spanning over three centuries. S This book explores the compelling history of Port-Royal/Annapolis T Royal as told through the gravestones in this scenic graveyard setting. O NE IN STONE: It presents a pictorial sampling and interpretations of the eclectic gravestone art and epitaphs, and offers numerous insights into the people whose lives are marked by the stones. As well, it looks at the attitudes, art, aesthetics, and beliefs that have come and gone, yet have left an imprint on this national cultural landscape.

The day they laid the corner stone was a day to remember. All the notables in town were there, the Governor, the Admiral, the General, the Chief Justice, the Members of the Council and Assembly, high ranking military officers, and prominent civilian officials. They were all out because this was an oc- casion in the history of the province, an occasion such as the eighteenth century had delighted to honour. Gazing upon the brilliant scene, there were many, no doubt, who could scarcely believe that a new century had dawned. Everything seemed the same, the scarlet coats and powdered wigs, the courtly bows and pretty curtsies. Surely the world would never change. Men might talk of the effects of the French Revolution or the threats of Napoleon Bonaparte; but who gave them a thought on this fine September day in 1800? It was better to listen to the "Band of Musicians", which having rendered God Save the King and Rule Britannia, was playing "other appropriate airs", or to take a pinch of snuff and consider the site of the new Government House.

" Now, instead of going on denying that we are an unmusical nation, let us do our utmost to prove that we are a musical nation."—SIR ALEX. MACKENZIE. " A History of British Military Music is much needed." So said the Musical Times some six or seven years ago and to-day, when military music and military bands are so much discussed, a work of this kind appears to be urgently called for. This volume, however, makes no pretence whatever to supply the want, but merely claims to be a history of one of the famous bands in the service, that of the Royal Artillery. The records of this band date as far back as 1762, when it was formed, and I doubt if there is another band in the army with a continuous history for so long a period.

How the town is to be cleansed we can scarcely tell, we fear dead bodies are at this moment shut up ... our men at the sick lines need to be for ever running to the main guard to beg them to remove the dead from our street, there being six persons lying there, and there was no other chance of getting their dead buried but by doing so.

Williams of Kars
WILLIAMS OF KARS MAXWELL VESEY HEN the Soviet made a recent demand upon Turkey for W cession to it of the Kars Plateau, an area south of the Black Sea and adjoining the Iranian Province of Azerbaijan, the word "Kars" reappeared in the news. It was a word made memorable in the Crimean War, when it rang around the world in much the same way as did Tobruk and Bataan not long ago. For Kars also was an heroic defence against great odds, when Turkish forces under British command held the Russian army at bay until disease and hunger forced surrender. Few now realize that in that war of a past era, in which Great Britain was engaged, the name of a Nova Scotian soldier stood for the same qualities which illumine those of the great generals of our time. This Nova Scotian was General Sir William Fenwick Williams, Bart., K.C.B., known to his genera tion as Williams of Kars. His defence of the town of Kars in Turkish Armenia, not far from Mount Ararat, was considered one of the most notable in British annals, and he was acclaimed for it in much the same manner as was General Douglas Mac's Arthur for his stand at Bataan. Look on the map of New Brunswick and observe the name Kars applied to a parish in King's County. It links the Province with the far-off Caucasus region, important as it was in the Crimean War time, because of its strategic position in regard to Turkey. Kars Parish got its name from Williams of Kars, chiefly because the General had a strong personal link with King's County in its principal town of Sussex.

"We are apt to smile at the seeming anticlimax of the boast made two centuries ago " Under the tropic is our language spoke, And part of Flanders hath received our yoke."

Music and the Making of a Civilized Society: Musical Life in Pre-Confederation Nova Scotia, 1815–1867
Music and the Making of a Civilized Society: Musical Life in Pre-Confederation Nova Scotia, 1815–1867 by Michelle Elizabeth Boyd A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Department of Music University of Toronto © Copyright by Michelle Elizabeth Boyd, 2011 ABSTRACT Music and the Making of a Civilized Society: Musical Life in Pre-Confederation Nova Scotia, 1815–1867 Michelle Elizabeth Boyd Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Department of Music University of Toronto 2011 The years 1815 to 1867 marked the first protracted period of peace in Nova Scotia‟s colonial history. While the immediate effects of peace were nearly disastrous, these years ultimately marked a formative period for the province. By the eve of Confederation, various social, cultural, political, economic, and technological developments had enabled Nova Scotia to become a mature province with a distinct identity. One of the manifestations of this era of community formation was the emergence of a cosmopolitan-oriented music culture. Although Atlantic trade routes ensured that Nova Scotia was never isolated, the colonial progress of the pre-Confederation era reinforced and entrenched Nova Scotia‟s membership within the Atlantic World. The same trade routes that brought imported goods to the province also introduced Nova Scotians to British and American culture. Immigration, importation, and developments to transportation and communication systems strengthened Nova Scotia‟s connections to its cultural arbiters – and made possible the importation and naturalization of metropolitan music practices. This dissertation examines the processes of cultural exchange operating between Nova Scotia and the rest of the Atlantic World, and the resultant musical life to which they gave rise.

The works on the façade by Liam Gillick were completed, allowing the public to see the effects as they walked past. Work continues apace both inside and out on the other projects by the ten artists. We on the Advisory Committee have been actively involved in the approval and monitoring of these art installations – the first time the Government Art Collection (GAC) has been involved in a building this way. The Advisory Committee, which includes the Directors of Tate, the National Gallery, and the National Portrait Gallery among its distinguished members, has no direct line or management responsibility for the GAC. However, as Chairman, I can attest to the enthusiasm and active spirit of involvement in which the Committee meetings are held. Beyond that, the members’ expertise and connections with the art world mean that the Director is able at any one time to consult individual members for their views.
