  • The Night Vigil of Shen Zhou
    Glossator: Practice and Theory of the Commentary 3 (2010) THE NIGHT VIGIL OF SHEN ZHOU J. H. Prynne On a cold night sleep is very sweet. I woke in the middle of the night, my mind clear and untroubled, and as I was unable to go to sleep again, I put on my clothes and sat facing my flickering lamp. On the table were a few folders of books. I chose a volume at random and began to read, but tiring I put down the book and sat calmly doing nothing [shushou weizuo]. A long rain had newly cleared, and a pale moon was shining through the window. All around was silence. Then after a long time absorbing the fresh brightness, I gradually became aware of sounds. Listening to the rustling of the wind stirring the bamboo gave one the feeling of going bravely and unwaveringly onward. Hearing the harsh snarling of dogs gave feelings of barring out evil, of opposing marauders. Hearing the sound of drums, large and small—the small ones thin, and the far ones clear and deep and uninterrupted—stirred restless thoughts that were lonely and sad. The official drum was very close, from three beats, to four and then five, gradually faster, hastening the dawn. Suddenly in the northeast the sound of a bell, a bell pure and clean through rain-cleared air, and hearing it came thoughts of waiting for the dawn, rising and doing. It was inevitable. My nature is such as to enjoy sitting in the night [yezuo]. So I often spread a book under the lamp going back and forth over it, usually stopping at the second watch.

  • A New World Tragedy $13.95
    ... - Joumey to Nowhere A NEW WORLD TRAGEDY $13.95 Rarely does a book come along which so transcends its apparent subject that the reader is ultimately given something larger, richer, and more revealing than he might initially have imagined. Already published in Eng­ land to overwhelming acclaim (see back of jacket), Shiva Naipaul’s Journey to Nowhere is such a book — a “power­ ful, lucid, and beautifully written book” (The Spectator) that is destined to be one of the most controversial works of 1981. In it, this major writer takes us far beyond the events and surface details surrounding the tragedy of Jones­ town and the People’s Temple —and gives us his remark­ able, unique perspective on the deadly drama of ideas, environments, and unholy alliances that shaped those events both in Guyana and, even more significantly, in America. Journey to Nowhere is, on one level, a “brilliantly edgy safari” (New Statesman) inside the Third World itself—a place of increasing importance in our lives—and on another, a book about America, about the corrupt and corrupting ideologies and chi-chi politics of the past twenty years that enabled the Reverend Jim Jones and the Temple to flourish and grow powerful in California and Guyana. Drawing on interviews —with former members of the Temple, various officials, and such people as Buckmin­ ster Fuller, Huey Newton, Clark Kerr, and others —on documents, and most importantly, on his own strong, clear reactions to what he observed, Naipaul examines the Guyana of Forbes Bumham, the CIA stooge turned Third World socialist leader, whose stated ideals of socialism, racial brotherhood, and cooperative agricul­ tural enterprise coincided so neatly, we learn for the first time, with those of the People’s Temple — ideals that led all too easily to violence and death.

  • Jazz Drums Thelonious Monk Institute of Jazz Online Jazz Handbook
    Jazz Drums Thelonious Monk Institute of Jazz Online Jazz Handbook welcome to the drums chapter of the Thelonious Monk Institute of Jazz’s Online Jazz Handbook! When learning jazz, there is no substitute for listening to the classic recordings and understanding the lineage. Please refer often to the albums listed at the end of this chapter for great examples of the material listed below. Don’t forget to practice with a metronome: This is important for drummers at all levels when learning new styles and ideas! Introduction: The drums can be heard in almost every style of music, and just like every instrument, the style helps dictate the specific roll of the instrument. For example, in traditional Afro-Cuban ensembles, the many drummers and percussionists create the main body of music that the bass, guitar, vocals, and other instruments float above. On the opposite side of that, you might hear an orchestra in which the only job of the percussionists is to create interesting sounds and colors on top of a the string section. In jazz, the drummer plays both a crucial part in creating a strong foundation, and helping add color and shape to the music. The first step is creating that strong foundation with the ride cymbal! Getting Started with the Ride Cymbal: Since the 1930’s and the beginning of the be-bop era, the main focal point on a jazz drum kit has been the ride cymbal. The phrasing of the ride cymbal is based around the quarter note, however instead of thinking in eighth notes (like most rock music on the radio today), we want to think in eighth note triplets.

  • How to Read a Poem by Julie Patterson
    Share: Tweet 2 Share: Tweet 2 How to Read a Poem by Julie Patterson Quick Links Readers and writers have strong - and disparate - opinions about the "right" way to read a poem. Worse yet, there's wide disagreement among accomplished and highly educated poets, too. There's really only one point we all agree on - poems are meant to be read aloud. Beyond that, it gets dicey, but here are some things to consider. Former poet laureate Billy Collins says, "Obviously, poems come in lines, but pausing at the end of every line will create a choppy effect and interrupt the flow of the poem's sense. Readers should pause only where there is punctuation, just as you would when reading prose, only more slowly." Look at the text of his poem "You, Reader" (at left) as you listen to him read it, and you'll see what he means. Julie Patterson is associate director and writer-in-residence at the Indiana Partnership for Young Writers. Her poems, essays and articles have appeared in literary journals, magazines and newspapers throughout the U.S. She has a Master of Fine Arts degree in creative writing from Lesley University. Billy Collins reads "You, Reader" You, Reader by Billy Collins Yet poet Georgia Heard says, "...after every single line, my voice is going to stop a little-because in poetry, blank I wonder how you are going to feel space means silence" (For the Good of the Earth and when you find out Sun). that I wrote this instead of you, that it was I who got up early Clearly other poets agree with Heard.

  • Sounding the Last Mile: Music and Capital Punishment in the United States Since 1976
    SOUNDING THE LAST MILE: MUSIC AND CAPITAL PUNISHMENT IN THE UNITED STATES SINCE 1976 BY MICHAEL SILETTI DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Musicology in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2018 Urbana, Illinois Doctoral Committee: Professor Jeffrey Magee, Chair and Director of Research Professor Gayle Magee Professor Donna A. Buchanan Associate Professor Christina Bashford ABSTRACT Since the United States Supreme Court reaffirmed the legality of the death penalty in 1976, capital punishment has drastically waxed and waned in both implementation and popularity throughout much of the country. While studying opinion polls, quantitative data, and legislation can help make sense of this phenomenon, careful attention to the death penalty’s embeddedness in cultural, creative, and expressive discourses is needed to more fully understand its unique position in American history and social life. The first known scholarly study to do so, this dissertation examines how music and sound have responded to and helped shape shifting public attitudes toward capital punishment during this time. From a public square in Chicago to a prison in Georgia, many people have used their ears to understand, administer, and debate both actual and fictitious scenarios pertaining to the use of capital punishment in the United States. Across historical case studies, detailed analyses of depictions of the death penalty in popular music and in film, and acoustemological research centered on recordings of actual executions, this dissertation has two principal objectives. First, it aims to uncover what music and sound can teach us about the past, present, and future of the death penalty.

The city on the Tiber. The "eternal city." Imperial. Proud. It was ca. AD 63. The great fire of AD 64 was yet to happen. Nero was his embarrassing self, unaware that on June 9, AD 68 he would commit suicide. Paul, Christ's apostle to the nations, was also in the city, a prisoner for the gospel. Several of his co-workers and companions were also with him. At the same time, far away in the city of Colosse, in the Lycus River valley of western Asia Minor (now Turkey), a vital issue was coming to a head. But first, let's explore a little background. Paul had already preached the gospel in Ephesus, an important city by the Cayster River. He stayed there for two years, with the result "that all who dwelt in Asia [a Roman province] heard the word of the Lord Jesus, both Jews and Greeks" (Acts 19:10).

  • “The Greatest Gift Is the Realization That Life Does Not Consist Either In
    “The greatest gift is the realization that life does not consist either in wallowing in the past or peering anxiously into the future; and it is appalling to contemplate the great number of often painful steps by which ones arrives at a truth so old, so obvious, and so frequently expressed. It is good for one to appreciate that life is now. Whatever it offers, little or much, life is now –this day-this hour.” Charles Macomb Flandrau Ernest Hemingway drank here. Cuban revolutionaries Fidel Castro and Che Guevera drank here. A longhaired young hippie musician named Jimmy Buffett drank and performed here, too. From the 1930’s through today this rustic dive bar has seen more than its share of the famous and the infamous. It’s a little joint called Capt. Tony’s in Key West, Florida. Eighty-seven-year-old Anthony ‘Capt. Tony’ Tarracino has been the owner and proprietor of this boozy establishment since 1959. It seems Tony, as a young mobster, got himself into some serious trouble with ‘the family’ back in New Jersey and needed to lay low for a while. In those days, the mosquito invested ‘keys’ (or islands) on the southernmost end of Florida’s coastline was a fine place for wise guys on the lam to hide out. And this was well before the tee-shirt shops, restaurants, bars, art galleries, charming B&B’s and quaint hotels turned Key West into a serious year-round tourist destination. Sure, there were some ‘artsy’ types like Hemingway and Tennessee Williams living in Key West during the late 50’s when Tony bought the bar, but it was a seaside shanty town where muscular hard-working men in shrimp boats and cutters fished all day for a living.
