XIII SOCIAL PROGRAMME “Instrumental Music from the Ottoman Court” Opening Concert Centre for Advanced Studies in Music Istanbul Technical University Opening Ceremony, 10 September 2014 Wednesday, 18:05 – 18:25 Hilton Convention Centre Concert Programme: Acem Peşrev Sultan Veled (1226-1312) The composition is attributed to Sultan Veled, son of Mevlana Celaleddin Rumi. The piece has an archaic and almost medieval simplicity and pureness in the melodic line. Mahur Peşrev Gazi Giray Han (1554-1607) Gazi Giray Khan II was the 13th Khan of Crimea. Apart from being successful statesman and military strategist, he was a good poet, calligrapher, and composer and he supported artists and scholars. He wrote excellent instrumental compositions, many of which are still appreciated and frequently performed in concerts. His vocal compositions have not survived. Buselik Peşrev Dimitri Cantemir (1673-1723) Cantemir was a Moldovian philosopher, musician and historian who was sent at the age of 15 to Istanbul where he spent 22 years as a diplomatic guest of the Ottoman Court. Cantemir developed a unique notation system to document his music study. His treatise Edvar, a major contribution to musicology preserves 352 works known in his time. His own compositions are rare beauty and are reminiscent of Balkan folklore. The Buselik Peşrev is an example of how Balkan folk tunes and rhythms can be incorporated into classical form. Buselik means either a kiss or emotion of divine love and rapture in the heart of devotee. Arazbar Peşrev Eyyüblü Mehmet Çelebi (1804-1850) Tanburi Mehmet Çelebi is mentioned in Cantemir’s History of the Growth and Decay of the Ottoman Empire (London 1734) as a prominent tanbur player and compositions of his are found in Cantemir’s collection. The transcription from Prince Dimitri Cantemir’s collection is by Walter Feldman. Arazbar is a compounded word: ‘Araz’ means any kind of wealth except gold and silver, ‘Bar’- raining down. In the introduction section, first 4 bars fall down melodically which remind us the literal meaning of the word.

  • How to Tell a Cromlech from a Quoit ©
    How to tell a cromlech from a quoit © As you might have guessed from the title, this article looks at different types of Neolithic or early Bronze Age megaliths and burial mounds, with particular reference to some well-known examples in the UK. It’s also a quick overview of some of the terms used when describing certain types of megaliths, standing stones and tombs. The definitions below serve to illustrate that there is little general agreement over what we could classify as burial mounds. Burial mounds, cairns, tumuli and barrows can all refer to man- made hills of earth or stone, are located globally and may include all types of standing stones. A barrow is a mound of earth that covers a burial. Sometimes, burials were dug into the original ground surface, but some are found placed in the mound itself. The term, barrow, can be used for British burial mounds of any period. However, round barrows can be dated to either the Early Bronze Age or the Saxon period before the conversion to Christianity, whereas long barrows are usually Neolithic in origin. So, what is a megalith? A megalith is a large stone structure or a group of standing stones - the term, megalith means great stone, from two Greek words, megas (meaning: great) and lithos (meaning: stone). However, the general meaning of megaliths includes any structure composed of large stones, which include tombs and circular standing structures. Such structures have been found in Europe, Asia, Africa, Australia, North and South America and may have had religious significance. Megaliths tend to be put into two general categories, ie dolmens or menhirs.

  • Chapter 5. Digital Transformation and Capabilities
    5. DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION AND CAPABILITIES 125 Chapter 5. Digital transformation and capabilities Digital technologies are transforming people’s life, business and society. Higher education systems and institutions are particularly affected by digital transformation, which can enable new services and provide new opportunities for innovation and entrepreneurship. Higher education institutions (HEIs) embracing digital technologies can become drivers of growth and development for their own ecosystems. This chapter introduces relevant concepts and definitions on how the digital transformation is affecting HEIs and presents the specificities of the Italian case, discussing good practices and challenges emerged during study visits. Recommendations for policymakers and leaders of HEIs conclude the chapter. The statistical data for Israel are supplied by and under the responsibility of the relevant Israeli authorities. The use of such data by the OECD is without prejudice to the status of the Golan Heights, East Jerusalem and Israeli settlements in the West Bank under the terms of international law. SUPPORTING ENTREPRENEURSHIP AND INNOVATION IN HIGHER EDUCATION IN ITALY © OECD/EUROPEAN UNION 2019 126 5. DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION AND CAPABILITIES Introduction: Defining digital transformation and capabilities The rapid development and spread of digital technologies are contributing to change in every aspect of people’s lives, business and society. Digital transformation is the result of digitisation and digitalisation of economies and societies (OECD, 2019a).1 Some authors consider digital transformation as a more pervasive set of changes that digital technologies cause or affecting all aspects of human life (Stolterman and Fors, 2006). The digital transformation is intrinsically connected to what has been defined as the “fourth industrial revolution” (Schwab, 2016): a process through which digital technologies are shaping the future of society and economic development in a comparable manner to the case of steam power for the first industrial revolution.

  • Hunters and Farmers in the North – the Transformation of Pottery Traditions
    Hunters and farmers in the North – the transformation of pottery traditions and distribution patterns of key artefacts during the Mesolithic and Neolithic transition in southern Scandinavia Lasse Sørensen Abstract There are two distinct ceramic traditions in the Mesolithic (pointed based vessels) and Neolithic (flat based vessels) of southern Scandinavia. Comparisons between the two ceramic traditions document differences in manufacturing techniques, cooking traditions and usage in rituals. The pointed based vessels belong to a hunter-gatherer pottery tradition, which arrived in the Ertebølle culture around 4800 calBC and disappears around 4000 calBC. The flat based vessels are known as Funnel Beakers and belong to the Tragtbæger (TRB) culture, appearing around 4000 calBC together with a new material culture, depositional practices and agrarian subsistence. Pioneering farmers brought these new trends through a leap- frog migration associated with the Michelsberg culture in Central Europe. These arriving farmers interacted with the indigenous population in southern Scandinavia, resulting in a swift transition. Regional boundaries observed in material culture disappeared at the end of the Ertebølle, followed by uniformity during the earliest stages of the Early Neolithic. The same boundaries reappeared again during the later stages of the Early Neolithic, thus supporting the indigenous population’s important role in the neolithisation process.

  • The Landscape Archaeology of Martin Down
    The Landscape Archaeology of Martin Down Martin Down and the surrounding area contain a variety of well‐preserved archaeological remains, largely because the area has been unaffected by modern agriculture and development. This variety of site types and the quality of their preservation are relatively unusual in the largely arable landscapes of central southern England. Bokerley Dyke, Grim's Ditch, the short section of medieval park boundary bank and the two bowl barrows west of Grim's Ditch, form the focus of the Martin Down archaeological landscape and, as such, have been the subject of part excavations and a detailed survey by the Royal Commission on the Historical Monuments of England. These investigations have provided much information about the nature and development of early land division, agriculture and settlement within this area during the later prehistoric and historic periods. See attached map for locations of key sites A ritual Neolithic Landscape….. Feature 1. The Dorset Cursus The Cursus dates from 3300 BCE which makes it contemporary with the earthen long barrows on Cranborne Chase: many of these are found near, on, or within the Cursus and since they are still in existence they help trace the Cursus' course in the modern landscape. The relationship between the Cursus and the alignment of these barrows suggests that they had a common ritual significance to the Neolithic people who spent an estimated 0.5 million worker‐hours in its construction. A cursus circa 6.25 miles (10 kilometres) long which runs roughly southwest‐northeast between Thickthorn Down and Martin Down. Narrow and roughly parallel‐sided, it follows a slightly sinuous course across the chalk downland, crossing a river and several valleys.

  • The Long Barrows and Long Mounds of West Mendip
    Proc. Univ. Bristol Spelaeol. Soc., 2008, 24 (3), 187-206 THE LONG BARROWS AND LONG MOUNDS OF WEST MENDIP by JODIE LEWIS ABSTRACT This article considers the evidence for Early Neolithic long barrow construction on the West Mendip plateau, Somerset. It highlights the difficulties in assigning long mounds a classification on surface evidence alone and discusses a range of earthworks which have been confused with long barrows. Eight possible long barrows are identified and their individual and group characteristics are explored and compared with national trends. Gaps in the local distribution of these monuments are assessed and it is suggested that areas of absence might have been occupied by woodland during the Neolithic. The relationship between long barrows and later round barrows is also considered. INTRODUCTION Long barrows are amongst the earliest monuments to have been built in the Neolithic period. In Southern Britain they take two forms: non-megalithic (or “earthen”) long barrows and megalithic barrows, mostly belonging to the Cotswold-Severn tradition. Despite these differences in architectural construction, the long mounds are of the same, early 4th millennium BC, date and had a similar purpose. The chambers of the long mounds were used for the deposition of the human dead and the monuments themselves appear to have acted as a focus for ritual activities and religious observations by the living. Some long barrows show evidence of fire lighting, feasting and deposition in the forecourts and ditches of the monuments, and alignment upon solstice events has also been noted. A local example of this can be observed at Stoney Littleton, near Bath, where the entrance and passage of this chambered long barrow are aligned upon the midwinter sunrise1.

  • The Research History of Long Barrows in Russia and Estonia in the 5Th –10Th Centuries
    Slavica Helsingiensia 32 Juhani Nuorluoto (ed., ., Hrsg.) Topics on the Ethnic, Linguistic and Cultural Making of the Russian North , Beiträge zur ethnischen, sprachlichen und kulturellen Entwicklung des russischen Nordens Helsinki 2007 ISBN 978–952–10–4367–3 (paperback), ISBN 978–952–10–4368–0 (PDF), ISSN 0780–3281 Andres Tvauri (Tartu) Migrants or Natives? The Research History of Long Barrows in Russia and Estonia in the 5th –10th Centuries Introduction The central problem in the history of North-Western Russia is how the area became Slavic. About 700–1917 AD Finno-Ugric and Baltic heathen autochthons turned into Orthodox Russians speaking mostly Slavic languages. Scholars have up to now been unable to clarify when, how, and why that process took place. Archaeologists have addressed the question of how Slavicization began in South-Western Russia by researching primarily graves, which represent the most widespread type of sites from the second half of the first millennium AD. During the period from the 5th to the 10th century, the people of North-Western Russia, South-Eastern Estonia, Eastern Latvia, and North-Eastern Belarus buried part of their dead in sand barrows, which were mostly erected in groups on the banks of river valleys, usually in sandy pine forests. Such barrows are termed long barrows. The shape of the barrows and burial customs vary considerably in their distribution area. Both round and long barrows were erected. The barrows are usually dozens of metres in length, in exceptional cases even a hundred metres, and their height is most often between 0.5–1 m. In such cemeteries, the cremation remains of the dead were buried either in a pit dug in the ground beneath the later barrow, placed on the ground below the barrow, or in the already existing sand barrow.
