    Neil Armstrong, 1st man on the moon, dies at 82 (Update) 25 August 2012, by LISA CORNWELL he died. Armstrong commanded the Apollo 11 spacecraft that landed on the moon July 20, 1969, capping the most daring of the 20th century's scientific expeditions. His first words after setting foot on the surface are etched in history books and in the memories of those who heard them in a live broadcast. "That's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind," Armstrong said. In those first few moments on the moon, during the climax of a heated space race with the then-Soviet Union, Armstrong stopped in what he called "a tender moment" and left a patch to commemorate NASA astronauts and Soviet cosmonauts who had died in action. This July 20, 1969 file photo provided by NASA shows Neil Armstrong. The family of Neil Armstrong, the first man to walk on the moon, says he died Saturday, Aug. "It was special and memorable, but it was only 25, 2012, at age 82. A statement from the family says he instantaneous because there was work to do," died following complications resulting from Armstrong told an Australian television interviewer cardiovascular procedures.

  • Large-Scale Strategy and Compositional Design in the Early Music of Genesis
    Copyrighted Material 12 Large-Scale Strategy and Compositional Design in the Early Music of Genesis MARK SPICER Th e title of this chapter might remind some readers of an article by Andrew Mead that appeared in Perspectives of New Music more than two decades ago (Mead 1985), in which the author used sophisticated set-theoretic analytical techniques to dig beneath the surface of Arnold Schoenberg’s music, disclos- ing a “large-scale strategy” at work within several of the twelve-tone composi- tions. Mead had the advantage of writing for a scholarly community already well convinced of Schoenberg’s genius. I suspect the idea of placing the music of the British rock group Genesis in the same league as Schoenberg would be greeted with considerable skepticism—if not downright horror—by many musicologists, and this is certainly not my intent in the present essay. (Alas, it will probably require some drastic revolutions in taste before such early- Genesis classics as “Th e Return of the Giant Hogweed” are admitted into the canon of twentieth-century masterworks.) But I do hope to show that despite being several musical worlds removed from Schoenberg, Genesis’ music is rich, diverse, and equally worthy of our analytical attention. One of the most infl uential and long-lasting of the so-called “progressive rock” bands that emerged in Britain around 1970 in the wake of the Beatles, Genesis is probably better known to most pop-rock fans as the supergroup who made frequent appearances on the Billboard charts during the 1980s and early 1990s, with

  • Turandot's Homecoming: Seeking the Authentic Princess of China in A
    TURANDOT’S HOMECOMING: SEEKING THE AUTHENTIC PRINCESS OF CHINA IN A NEW CONTEST OF RIDDLES Ying-Wei Tiffany Sung A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirement for the degree of MASTER OF MUSIC August 2010 Committee: Vincent Corrigan, Advisor Mary Natvig Per F. Broman © 2010 Tiffany Ying-Wei Sung All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Vincent Corrigan, Advisor The negative portrait of Chinese culture in Puccini’s Turandot hindered this opera’s acceptance in China. Wei Minglun’s Sichuan Opera performance Chinese Princess Turandot (1995) and Zhang Yimou’s collaboration with Zubin Mehta on Puccini’s Turandot premiere in Beijing, however, brought Turandot home at the end of twentieth century. This thesis explores Turandot’s transformation and reception in China by analyzing the Chinese cultural representation and authenticity of these two Chinese versions. To provide a historical context, the thesis traces Turandot’s origin from Nizami’s Haft Paykar (1197) to Puccini’s opera. It also includes discussion of varied Chinese adaptations from 1995 to 2010. Ultimately, this thesis investigates issues of Orientalism, Occidentalism, authenticity, and hybridism in Turandot’s homecoming. Because the Orientalist image of Turandot has been modified by cross-cultural context, I propose that Orientalism and Occidentalism can be distinguished by how a work is made and how it is perceived. iv ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I would like to first thank to my family in Taiwan. Without their spiritual and financial support, I would not have had a chance to study abroad. I also want to express my gratitude to Dr.
