Colorful, exuberant, joyful, poignant, dramatic, soulful, vibrant, reflective, haunting – these are just a few Soprano Tenor Ensemble of the many qualities found in these works. Highlighting the inherent folk elements and reflecting a down-to-earth Mickey Fuson Joanna Cayford Carlos Boltes, charango approach became my creative response as this music is, after all, music of the people, written for the people, and Annie Garibaldi O. Andrew Garibaldi Ricardo Diaz, charango and guitar the performances should speak directly and honestly. The poignant depiction of the nativity story in Navidad Julie Smith Gilmore John Peter Hazangeles Michael Bard, guitar Nuestra creates a beautiful tableau that unfolds with indigenous flair; the call and response format with ostinato Deborah Henderson Jay M. Kirsch Scott Hill, guitar drum patterns found in Missa Luba suggests open air religious celebrations in central Africa; and the embracing Marie Hyder Matthew L. Klein Richard Marlow, guitar and highly personal approach to the Mass expressed in Misa Criolla promotes involvement on a spiritual level. Julie Kearney E. Bernard Leung Gonzalo Cortés, quena and siku The invitation for participation is intoxicating and pervasive throughout all three works. Jenny Nordstrom Phyllis Muir Edgardo Malaga, bass Featured in our performances are soloists and instrumentalists who specialize in this repertoire and we are Rebecca Parker Michael Parker Luis Garay, bombo legüero and indebted to their immeasurable creative efforts. Arranging the score was mostly a collective effort and it was a Lisa Joy Sommers David M. Petrou percussion personal joy to weave the musical tapestry with such a dedicated group. It will be of special note to aficionados of Ann M. Stahmer Harlan Rosacker the Ramírez works that tenors Manuel Melendez, José Sacin and Pablo Talamante constantly shift parts Alison Valtin Hugh W. Smith throughout, highlighting their individual vocal colours. The choice of a soloist to sing the challenging solos in Vera H. Zieman Michael M. Wolyniec Missa Luba was a difficult one until hearing performances by Mercedes Sosa of Misa Criolla and Navidad Matthew Zarcufsky Nuestra. The idea for a female soloist as opposed to the original tenor became reality by engaging Christal Alto Rheams, alto, who lends her unique voice and improvisational abilities to create a novel approach to Missa Luba. Denise Brandenburg Bass And, speaking of improvisation, the drum solos as conceived and performed by Luis Garay are a marvelous Mary Lu Fuson Charles J. Baker creation to behold. Patricia George-Houser Ron Davies The Choral Arts Society of Washington normally comprises 200 singers performing large-scale symphonic Robin Hellier Raymond C. Hart works, and from this ensemble we created smaller chamber choruses which better reflect the folk nature of these Nell Jeter William E. Hartung works. Their performances, focusing on rhythmic colour and dynamic harmonies while maintaining textual clarity, Priscilla Colón Marsh DeVere Henderson bring to life the spirit and essence of each work. Lisa Mitchell Todd Kim The journey starts with Navidad Nuestra and culminates with the final expressions evoking peace and Rebecca Nielsen Larry Kolp consolation in Misa Criolla. For us as listeners, the worlds created by Ariel Ramírez and Guido Haazen are Virginia L. Pancoe George Krumbhaar beguiling and invite us to revel in their vision of beauty. It is my hope that our performances might offer a glimpse Catherine Piez Jay Labov of those worlds. Laura S. Pruitt Joseph H.

  • Film, Photojournalism, and the Public Sphere in Brazil and Argentina, 1955-1980
    ABSTRACT Title of Document: MODERNIZATION AND VISUAL ECONOMY: FILM, PHOTOJOURNALISM, AND THE PUBLIC SPHERE IN BRAZIL AND ARGENTINA, 1955-1980 Paula Halperin, Doctor of Philosophy, 2010 Directed By: Professor Barbara Weinstein Department of History University of Maryland, College Park My dissertation explores the relationship among visual culture, nationalism, and modernization in Argentina and Brazil in a period of extreme political instability, marked by an alternation of weak civilian governments and dictatorships. I argue that motion pictures and photojournalism were constitutive elements of a modern public sphere that did not conform to the classic formulation advanced by Jürgen Habermas. Rather than treating the public sphere as progressively degraded by the mass media and cultural industries, I trace how, in postwar Argentina and Brazil, the increased production and circulation of mass media images contributed to active public debate and civic participation. With the progressive internationalization of entertainment markets that began in the 1950s in the modern cities of São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, and Buenos Aires there was a dramatic growth in the number of film spectators and production, movie theaters and critics, popular magazines and academic journals that focused on film. Through close analysis of images distributed widely in international media circuits I reconstruct and analyze Brazilian and Argentine postwar visual economies from a transnational perspective to understand the constitution of the public sphere and how modernization, Latin American identity, nationhood, and socio-cultural change and conflict were represented and debated in those media. Cinema and the visual after World War II became a worldwide locus of production and circulation of discourses about history, national identity, and social mores, and a space of contention and discussion of modernization.

  • Missa Luba : New Edition and Conductor's Analysis
    FOSTER, MARC ASHLEY, D.M.A., Missa Luba: A New Edition and Conductor’s Analysis. (2005) Directed by Dr. William P. Carroll. 123pp. Since 1964 and the first printed edition of Missa Luba by Guido Haazen, this work has been performed countless numbers of times all over the world. Missa Luba continues to have a large number of performances each year, despite the fact that there is very little research available, and the only published edition is wholly insufficient in producing an authentic performance. To date, the following has not been published in any known academic publications: 1) a biography of Guido Haazen, 2) research into the first choir to sing Missa Luba, 3) a detailed explanation of the collective improvisational nature of the work, and 4) a comparison of the folk melodies used as models to the corresponding sections of each Mass movement. The purpose of this document is to provide a new edition of Missa Luba and an analysis of the work useful to a conductor. The reasons why a new edition is needed and what changes are made to the existing edition will be discussed, along with an analysis, which will cover the work’s historical background, structure, and performance practice concerns. The document will incorporate recent research into this subject, especially that of interviews with Guido Haazen prior to his death in 2004, and a more accurate transcription of the original 1958 recording. Also, significant to this project is a description of the ethnic instruments used in the original performances of Missa Luba and suitable modern substitutions.
