I am sorry you did not receive any of our communications. However, this is understandable since your schedule takes you to all four corners of the world. For your information, there is a private dais reception from 6:30 to 7:30 PM in the Brentwood Room of the Century Plaza Hotel. Invitations have been issued only to those individuals who will be seated on the dais. Both you and Mrs. Rubinstein, of course, will be among our distinguished dais guests. I am enclosing the agenda for the evening. The actual programs will not be ready until Wednesday. This should provide the timing and sequence of our program. The eve­ ning is one in which you will be honored with the Scopus Award, the most coveted and prestigious award of the American Friends of the Hebrew University. I am also pleased to tell you that we were fortunate in securing for our musical program one of your protegees, Janina Fialkowska, whom we were fortunate to hear during our recent visit to Jerusalem this past summer. Her concert on November 2nd in Pasadena made it possible for her to be with us.

WILEY HITCHCOCK Quartet in B-flat major, Op. 64, No. 3 JOSEPH HAYDN Chamber music owes much to Joseph Haydn. Almost all of the chamber works before his contributions were based on the continuo principle: the chamber group was supported by a keyboard instrument which filled in the harmonies between a bass part and the florid upper parts. Now, since the continuo player extemporized, there was much indiscriminate doubling of notes, and the written-down parts of the chamber instruments had no absolute tonal meaning; the composer could never be sure how his music would sound. In nearly eighty string quartets, and many other chamber works, Haydn attempted to solve the problem of creating chamber music intended as independent of the "help­ ing hand" of a continuo.

WILEY HITCHCOCK Quartet in G major, Op. 77, No. 1 . JOSEPH HAYDN (1732-1809) More than eighty string quartets and countless other chamber works, over one hundred symphonies, fifty-odd concertos and about the same number of keyboard sonatas—these are only part of Joseph Haydn's tremendous musical output! The list is staggering. And even more to be wondered at is the general excellence of all this music. Working independently at the court of the Esterhazy family, a complete pro­ vincial who never left the immediate vicinity of Vienna save for two visits to London late in life, deprived of that most important stimulus to progress in composition— frequent contact with other music and musicians, Haydn nevertheless sustained a freshness of invention, an originality of expression, through fifty years of composing.

  • Special Article Demographic Trends in Israel and Palestine: Prospects and Policy Implications
    Special Article Demographic Trends in Israel and Palestine: Prospects and Policy Implications BY SERGIO DELLAPERGOLA WHILE PUBLIC DEBATE tends to focus on issues of secu- rity and politics, the past, present, and future of the Israeli- Palestinian conflict are intimately and crucially related to the way demographic variables affect population size and composition. Therefore, a demographic perspective is essential in the search for a resolution.1 The conflict stems from ideological, historical, religious, and political differences that are rooted in ancient cultural traditions. It was during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries that the two sides provided new symbolic meanings, added new contentious frameworks, and reinforced old disagreements, rendering solutions more difficult. At the core of the contemporary confrontation, two peoples—Jews and Arabs—claim rights of settlement and po- litical sovereignty over the same territory they both view as home- land. The very name of that land—in Arab: Falastin, in Hebrew: Eretz Yisrael—is itself the subject of controversy. Around this principal bone of contention, two additional tiers further complicate the conflict. The first reflects the general hos- tility of Arab societies toward the State of Israel. This regional di- mension has been demonstrated by repeated, direct interventions by Middle Eastern countries and political movements in support of the Palestinian side of the conflict. The second tier relates to 'Early versions of this paper were presented at the XXIV General Population Confer- ence of the International Union for the Scientific Study of Population, Salvador de Bahia, Session 64, Population Change and Political Transitions (Chair: Massimo Livi Bacci; Dis- cussant: Alan Hill), August 2001; and at the David Patterson Seminar, Oxford Centre for Hebrew and Jewish Studies, Yarnton, October 2002.
