This idea became a reality in 1974 when 100 students arrived at PCC’s one building. Forty-six years later, students now represent every state and more than 50 foreign countries. PCC offers a wide va riety of programs in some of the finest college facilities in America. Although PCC has grown, excellence in education and commitment to the Lord remain the core of the College’s balanced program. Pensacola Theological Seminary was founded in 1998 when PCC saw the need to expand its practical, Bible-centered approach to ministerial training. The goal of the Seminary is to fill each student’s mind and heart with what the Bible says. The purpose of the Seminary is to prepare servant-leaders to share the gospel boldly, preach the Word clearly, and shepherd the flock faithfully.

The goal was to train young men and women in higher education for a life of service to Jesus Christ. The founders’ vision for PCC continues to the present. Our mission is to promote the cause of Christ by providing a distinctively Christian-traditional, liberal arts education that develops students spiritually, intellectually, morally, culturally, and socially.

  • MTO 22.4: Gotham, Pitch Properties of the Pedal Harp
    Volume 22, Number 4, December 2016 Copyright © 2016 Society for Music Theory Pitch Properties of the Pedal Harp, with an Interactive Guide * Mark R. H. Gotham and Iain A. D. Gunn KEYWORDS: harp, pitch, pitch-class set theory, composition, analysis ABSTRACT: This article is aimed at two groups of readers. First, we present an interactive guide to pitch on the pedal harp for anyone wishing to teach or learn about harp pedaling and its associated pitch possibilities. We originally created this in response to a pedagogical need for such a resource in the teaching of composition and orchestration. Secondly, for composers and theorists seeking a more comprehensive understanding of what can be done on this unique instrument, we present a range of empirical-theoretical observations about the properties and prevalence of pitch structures on the pedal harp and the routes among them. This is particularly relevant to those interested in extended-tonal and atonal repertoires. A concluding section discusses prospective theoretical developments and analytical applications. 1 of 21 Received June 2016 I. Introduction [1.1] Most instruments have a relatively clear pitch universe: some have easy access to continuous pitch (unfretted string instruments, voices, the trombone), others are constrained by the 12-tone chromatic scale (most keyboards), and still others are limited to notes of the diatonic or pentatonic scales (many non-Western-orchestral members of the xylophone family). The pedal harp, by contrast, falls somewhere between those last two categories: it is organized around a diatonic configuration, but can reach all 12 notes of the chromatic scale, and most (but not all) pitch-class sets.

  • History of the Harp Compiled by Janice Mineer [email protected]
    History of the Harp Compiled by Janice Mineer [email protected] https://www.harp.com/history-of-the-harp/ : Ancient Egypt (2500 BC) The earliest evidence of the harp is found in Ancient Egypt circa 2500 BC. They were shaped liked bows or angular and had very few strings. Irish Harps (800 AD) there are very few remaining in existence, art from that time indicates they utilized about ten or eleven strings. The first harp to feature a hollowed soundbox that amplified the instrument’s sound dates back to Ireland in the 14th century. It also included a curved forepillar, a stronger neck and 30 to 36 brass strings. Diatonic Harps (1800 AD) Referred to as Renaissance harps, they typically had 24 or more gut strings which were fixed to the soundboard with brays (wooden pegs). By the end of the 17th century, they typically had staved sound bodies and straight forepillars. Double-Action Pedal Harps (1810 AD) In 1810, a double-action pedal harp was patented . When a pedal was depressed . it sharpened a semitone while the bottom disc turned partially but did not touch the string. To sharpen another semitone, the pedal was depressed again into a lower notch and the bottom disc turned further to grip the string even more. Aside from mechanical improvements, this system is still used today. Harpo Marx (USA, 1888-1964), second oldest of the “Marx Brothers” – the popular vaudeville act and movie team of the 20’s and 30’s; taught himself to play the harp while never learning to read music; his two gold Lyon & Healy harps were donated to an Israeli university for student use upon his death.

    © 2020 Noël Yitsi Wan AGENTIAL REALISM AND THE “FEMALE HARPIST”: THE RELATIONAL ONTOLOGY OF GENDERHARP IN GEORGES APERGHIS’ FIDÉLITÉ (1982) BY NOËL YITSI WAN DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Musical Arts in Music with a concentration in Performance and Literature in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2020 Urbana, Illinois Doctoral Committee: Professor Ann Yeung, Chair Associate Professor Michael B. Silvers, Director of Research Professor Janet Revell Barrett Professor Sever Tipei ii ABSTRACT The confluence of feminist scholar Karen Barad’s critical theories (agential realism, posthumanist performativity, posthumanism, new materialism) and Greek-French composer Georges Aperghis’ solo harp work Fidélité: pour harpiste seule regardée par un homme (“for female harpist watched by a man”) creates new philosophical interpretations for the relationship between gender and the Western European pedal harp. This dissertation first introduces Barad’s theory of agential realism as a new materialist, feminist intervention on historical and contemporary perspectives of gender—and particularly of women and femininitY—in the Western European classical harp tradition. Within this exploration I have coined the term “genderharp” to argue that gender is inseparably entangled, not just within the discourse of, but also the very materiality of the pedal harp; gender is co-produced with harp, harpist, and other material bodies during the processes of configuring
