  • Analysis of My Kurtág Cycle
    Claus-Steffen Mahnkopf Analysis of my Kurtág Cycle I. Introduction In accordance with the three temporal modes, one can divide artists into three types. The first lives in remembrance of what has been and what has passed, usually mourning what has been lost; the second lives in expectation of a pos- sible, “better” future, seeking to anticipate or help prepare for it through his work; the third lives in the here and now and cannot really understand the other two. I must admit that I do not belong to any one type alone; I am in two, per- haps even three minds as an artist. In contrast to the title of a late work—La lontananza nostalgica utopica futura—by Luigi Nono, however, whom I greatly revere, I abandoned the endeavor to reach a “synthesis” of these three atti- tudes in my work some time ago. Up until Angel Novus, the music theater work I composed at the Dantesque midpoint in my life, i.e., in my mid-30s, I had felt it necessary to do justice to all facets of my artistic existence—albeit in highly individualized ways—in every composition. I was interested in a consistent style referred to—hastily, and partly provoked by my own statements—as “complex- ist,” though I had always viewed my complexist style as one element of what, following on from Beethoven, whom I consider the greatest composer of all, could be termed multi-perspectivity: the ability to compose a Fifth Symphony and a Sixth Symphony in tandem. After Angelus Novus, I reached a fork in my path.

  • Non-Heterosexual Students Journey Toward Safer Schools
    ABSTRACT EATON, LUCILLE ELIZABETH. Constructing Rainbow Classrooms: Non-heterosexual Students Journey Toward Safer Schools. (under the direction of Anna Victoria Wilson and Bonnie Fusarelli) According to the 2003 National Student Climate Survey (Kosciw, 2004), there is a widespread existence of victimization against non-heterosexual students in U.S. high schools. 80% of the students surveyed experience some form of verbal, sexual or physical harassment at school (Kosciw, 2004). In nearly 75% of these harassment incidents, neither a teacher nor an administrator intervened, providing an unsafe environment for these students. Recent research (Kosciw, 2004; Evans, 2000; LeCompte, 2000; Schneider & Owens, 2000) suggests that creating safe schools for non-heterosexual students improves their academic performance, their relationships with faculty, and their general attitude toward school. Using Narrative Inquiry, I interview three non-heterosexual female high school students in order to give voice to their experiences of alienation, harassment, and struggle with sexual identity. Additionally, the students discuss their visions of safe schools and their roles in creating and maintaining safe and welcoming school environments. Within the matrix of queer theory and queer pedagogy, I examine the components of safe schools that currently exist in these students’ schools and relay what the students are doing to improve the level of tolerance and safety in their schools. I interview three other non-heterosexual females in order to contextualize the high school students’ experiences. One teacher, one youth support group volunteer, and one young woman currently out of school provide additional layers of perspective as I analyze the narratives and suggest modifications in curriculum materials, instructional practices and administrative policies that will construct safer school environments.

  • “Amarillo by Morning” the Life and Songs of Terry Stafford 1
    In the early months of 1964, on their inaugural tour of North America, the Beatles seemed to be everywhere: appearing on The Ed Sullivan Show, making the front cover of Newsweek, and playing for fanatical crowds at sold out concerts in Washington, D.C. and New York City. On Billboard magazine’s April 4, 1964, Hot 100 2 list, the “Fab Four” held the top five positions. 28 One notch down at Number 6 was “Suspicion,” 29 by a virtually unknown singer from Amarillo, Texas, named Terry Stafford. The following week “Suspicion” – a song that sounded suspiciously like Elvis Presley using an alias – moved up to Number 3, wedged in between the Beatles’ “Twist and Shout” and “She Loves You.”3 The saga of how a Texas boy met the British Invasion head-on, achieving almost overnight success and a Top-10 hit, is one of triumph and “Amarillo By Morning” disappointment, a reminder of the vagaries The Life and Songs of Terry Stafford 1 that are a fact of life when pursuing a career in Joe W. Specht music. It is also the story of Stafford’s continuing development as a gifted songwriter, a fact too often overlooked when assessing his career. Terry Stafford publicity photo circa 1964.

  • Indus Musicians in Mesopotamia
    1 Indus Musicians in Mesopotamia 2 Bull Lyre of Indus Valley and 90 words that Harappans 3 May Have Spoken 4 5 Shail Vyas 6 Homi Bhabha Fellow, Mumbai 7 8 [email protected] 9 10 11 12 13 Abstract 14 15 Human is a musical creature. It is seen ubiquitously through times and spaces 16 that a certain percentage of human population is always musically inclined 17 irrespective of their profession. Music is also an integral part of many social 18 activities humans generally observe like religious practices, marriages, deaths 19 and what more. Due to the possible presence of Harappan population in 20 Mesopotamia, it may be surmised that a number of Harappan musicians and 21 some of their musical instruments could also have reached there. In this 22 investigation, crucial help could also come from the fact that many a times, 23 names of musical instruments travel with them. 24 25 26 On account of a very likely possibility of such an occurrence, a study of 27 archaeological and Sumerian textual records in Mesopotamia was strongly 28 suggestive of a significant presence of Harappan musicians and musical 29 instruments in Mesopotamia. In fact, study of Sumerian text has shown that 30 about 30 musical terminologies out of a total of nearly 60, in the categories such 31 as names of instruments, singers, names of songs and even musical notations, 32 etc. in Sumerian (PSD) are found to be phonetically and semantically very similar 33 to ancient Indian terms with some “Sumerianization”. The study also 34 demonstrated certain patterns in the way words were sumerianized.

    Summer Series at Acorn Hill July 2020 -A month-long Acorn Hill newsletter of song & finger games, story, activity and crafts. ! —Caryn Wexler with her tissue paper butterfly Dictionary Summer-Somer-noun The warmest season of the year, in the northern hemisphere from to June to August and in the southern hemisphere from December to February. the plant flowers in late summer. A long hot summer. Page 1! of !20 Dear Parents, Welcome to July! As we settle more into summer, our days full of sunlight, are hotter and longer. The sun waits until the last possible moment to go to bed. Up above, the stars glimmer and sparkle into the night skies. During this time of the year, our time is spent, centered even more, with family. Summer- time is a time for all of us to slow down and to reflect upon our days. To call upon our own memories of childhood. And to eat the freshest, ripest fruits ,we have waited to enjoy all year, that helps to cool us down from summer’s heat. In this month’s July Acorn Hill newsletter, we share from our pedagogy, the Importance of Play. The essay directly below is written by a current author, recalling the sounds of his summers. This beau- tifully written article places us back into our childhoods. Summer sounds, and really all nature sounds, can be heard if we simply, and attentively, listen. Often during nature walks, we are more focused on what we see. We may become engaged in conversations with others. And even if we are alone, we may fill the space by listening to our phones.
