Blake Book design© BLUE ARRANGEMENTS Bonus material provided by the authors and credited acordingly Copyright © 2021 Hobart STUFF KAYAK Debra Jo Immergut I posted a picture of my rarely used kayak on Facebook late at night. I could sell this on Craigslist and make some cash, I wrote, but I’d rather see it bring joy to a friend. Then I slept. By the morn- ing, fourteen people had responded saying they would love to have it—dear companions, plus two people I’d worked with once. But I woke up with a premonition. Whoever took this kayak would die in it. I rescinded the offer and left the kayak sitting under the trees in the yard for the rest of the fall. It acquired a coat of yellowed pine needles and wet brown leaves. Before the ground froze, I dug a huge trench behind the shed and buried it under thick dirt, and in the spring, sprinkled on grass seed and straw. It became a small hillock, forgotten. Eventually all my friends died anyhow, and so did I. Two hundred years went by, a few more, and some peo- ple, building anew, dug and hit the plastic shell in the earth. They dragged it out and set it in a meadow and used it to gather rain.

  • Mozart Requiem: 1OO Voices
    MOZART REQUIEM: 1OO VOICES Lyn Williams Festive Alleluia Lyn Williams OAM is the founder and artistic director of Sydney Children's Choir and the national children's choir, Gondwana Voices. Under her leadership, the Gondwana Choirs organisation has grown to include twenty three ensembles, including the Gondwana Indigenous Children’s Choir. She has conducted most major professional choirs and orchestras in Australia, and has been music director and conductor for a number of major events, including the 2006 Melbourne Commonwealth Games. Lyn is a Churchill Fellow and as a composer won the 2009 APRA–Australian Music Centre Vocal/Choral Work of the Year for her work A Flock of Stars. In 2015, Lyn was named one of The Australian Financial Review and Westpac’s 100 Women of Influence in the category of Culture. What to listen for Alleluia (or Hallelujah) comes from Hebrew and means ‘praise God.’ Lyn Williams composed this joyful processional work for Sydney Children's Choir. Inspired by medieval dance tunes, it alternates between two sections, with the parts at times singing in canon (that is, singing the same melody but starting one after the other). Anonymous Gaudete from Piae Cantiones 1582 The Piae Cantiones was a collection of medieval songs published in Sweden in 1582. They were unknown in England until three hundred years later, when a number of them were set to new words and published as Christmas carols. They included Good Christian Men, Rejoice, and Good King Wenceslas. Gaudete is also a Christmas carol. The words appear in the Piae cantiones, but the tune commonly used was probably composed in the sixteenth century.

  • Nightlight: Tradition and Change in a Local Music Scene
    NIGHTLIGHT: TRADITION AND CHANGE IN A LOCAL MUSIC SCENE Aaron Smithers A thesis submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in the Curriculum of Folklore. Chapel Hill 2018 Approved by: Glenn Hinson Patricia Sawin Michael Palm ©2018 Aaron Smithers ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Aaron Smithers: Nightlight: Tradition and Change in a Local Music Scene (Under the direction of Glenn Hinson) This thesis considers how tradition—as a dynamic process—is crucial to the development, maintenance, and dissolution of the complex networks of relations that make up local music communities. Using the concept of “scene” as a frame, this ethnographic project engages with participants in a contemporary music scene shaped by a tradition of experimentation that embraces discontinuity and celebrates change. This tradition is learned and communicated through performance and social interaction between participants connected through the Nightlight—a music venue in Chapel Hill, North Carolina. iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Any merit of this ethnography reflects the commitment of a broad community of dedicated individuals who willingly contributed their time, thoughts, voices, and support to make this project complete. I am most grateful to my collaborators and consultants, Michele Arazano, Robert Biggers, Dave Cantwell, Grayson Currin, Lauren Ford, Anne Gomez, David Harper, Chuck Johnson, Kelly Kress, Ryan Martin, Alexis Mastromichalis, Heather McEntire, Mike Nutt, Katie O’Neil, “Crowmeat” Bob Pence, Charlie St. Clair, and Isaac Trogden, as well as all the other musicians, employees, artists, and compatriots of Nightlight whose combined efforts create the unique community that define a scene.

As it happens, I humbly consider myself to be somewhat of an ex- pert on Canadians, if for no other reason than the fact that I am one.

  • Representing a Christian Nation: Sacred and Providential Discourses in Opera in the United States, 1911–1917
    Representing a Christian Nation: Sacred and Providential Discourses in Opera in the United States, 1911–1917 AARON ZIEGEL Abstract As the genre of American opera was coming of age during the 1910s, composers and librettists began to incorporate the materials of sacred music into the operatic context with surprising frequency. This often took the form of prayer arias, sacred choruses, hymnody, or choral apotheoses, examples of which appear in Frederick Converse’s The Sacrifice (1911), Victor Herbert’s Natoma (1911), Mary Carr Moore’s Narcissa (1912), and Henry Hadley’s Azora (1917). These composers modeled their efforts after familiar European precedents, including Wagner’s Lohengrin, Gounod’s Faust, and Meyerbeer’s Les Huguenots, among other works.
