  • PERFORMED IDENTITIES: HEAVY METAL MUSICIANS BETWEEN 1984 and 1991 Bradley C. Klypchak a Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate
    PERFORMED IDENTITIES: HEAVY METAL MUSICIANS BETWEEN 1984 AND 1991 Bradley C. Klypchak A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY May 2007 Committee: Dr. Jeffrey A. Brown, Advisor Dr. John Makay Graduate Faculty Representative Dr. Ron E. Shields Dr. Don McQuarie © 2007 Bradley C. Klypchak All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Dr. Jeffrey A. Brown, Advisor Between 1984 and 1991, heavy metal became one of the most publicly popular and commercially successful rock music subgenres. The focus of this dissertation is to explore the following research questions: How did the subculture of heavy metal music between 1984 and 1991 evolve and what meanings can be derived from this ongoing process? How did the contextual circumstances surrounding heavy metal music during this period impact the performative choices exhibited by artists, and from a position of retrospection, what lasting significance does this particular era of heavy metal merit today? A textual analysis of metal- related materials fostered the development of themes relating to the selective choices made and performances enacted by metal artists. These themes were then considered in terms of gender, sexuality, race, and age constructions as well as the ongoing negotiations of the metal artist within multiple performative realms. Occurring at the juncture of art and commerce, heavy metal music is a purposeful construction. Metal musicians made performative choices for serving particular aims, be it fame, wealth, or art. These same individuals worked within a greater system of influence. Metal bands were the contracted employees of record labels whose own corporate aims needed to be recognized.

  • Learning from the Netherlands to Improve Outcomes for New Zealand's Children
    1000 Days to get it right for every child The Netherlands Study Learning from the Netherlands to improve outcomes for New Zealand’s children A report prepared by Rowe Davies Research for Every Child Counts He Mana tō ia Tamati - Every Child Counts He Mana tō ia Tamati - Every Child Counts, formed in 2004, is and coalition of organisations and individuals; led by Barnardos, Plunket, Save the Children, Unicef and Te Kahui Mana Ririki. We believe that a positive, economically sustainable future for New Zealand is only possible if: Children are placed at the centre of government policy and planning Child poverty is eradicated Child maltreatment is reduced Every child is given a good start in their early years The status of children and of the child-rearing roles of fami- lies, whānau, hapū and iwi are increased. 1000 days to get it right for every child The first 1000 days of a child’s life are critical to their long term de- velopment. One thousand days is also approximately the duration of one term of parliament. So we have about 1000 days to get it right. Getting it right in those first 1000 days means today’s young chil- dren are given every opportunity to develop their full potential as healthy, emotionally mature, socially engaged and well-educated, productive adults. Low and ineffective public investment in the early years of child- hood costs us dearly – approximately 3 per cent of GDP. Things need to change. That’s why we are campaigning to make it a priority issue through the 1000 days of this term of parliament.

A large body of published research exists regarding the physiology of breathing, the acoustics of singing, and solutions for specific vocal faults. There is similarly a growing body of research into the system of voice classification and repertoire assignment. This paper shall reexamine this research in light of baritenor voices. After establishing the general parameters of healthy vocal technique through appoggio, the various tenor, baritone, and bass Fächer will be studied to establish norms of vocal criteria such as range, timbre, tessitura, and registration for each Fach. The study of these Fächer includes examinations of the historical singers for whom the repertoire was created and how those roles are cast by opera companies in modern times. The specific examination of baritenors follows the same format by examining current and

Seeking to write, as he says, a ‘larger than life’ work, the composer drew upon the pulsing, rhythmic music that blares on the streets of his neighborhood, the Washington Heights section of New York City: Latin salsa, crackmobile rap, gypsy-camp folk. Disco and 50s jazz were also added to the tumultuous mix. The title is taken from a World War 1 ragtime dance, but also suggests Kernis’s response to events taking place around the time he wrote NEW ERA DANCE: the summer of 1992. The LA riots had recently ended, the presidential election of Bill Clinton was approaching, and in the middle distance was the millennium.
