(21:1-25) The Nation’s Crisis – The Fruits of a Canaanized Culture are Messy Situations and Messy Solutions – Yet God By His Grace Preserves His People OVERVIEW NOTES Baxter: Failure Through Compromise Its intent is to expose the cause and course of Israel’s ruining downgrade in such a way as to sting the national conscience into repentant return to Jehovah. Incomplete mastery of an evil at the outset always means constant trouble from it afterwards, and often defeat by it in the end.

  • Rock Album Discography Last Up-Date: September 27Th, 2021
    Rock Album Discography Last up-date: September 27th, 2021 Rock Album Discography “Music was my first love, and it will be my last” was the first line of the virteous song “Music” on the album “Rebel”, which was produced by Alan Parson, sung by John Miles, and released I n 1976. From my point of view, there is no other citation, which more properly expresses the emotional impact of music to human beings. People come and go, but music remains forever, since acoustic waves are not bound to matter like monuments, paintings, or sculptures. In contrast, music as sound in general is transmitted by matter vibrations and can be reproduced independent of space and time. In this way, music is able to connect humans from the earliest high cultures to people of our present societies all over the world. Music is indeed a universal language and likely not restricted to our planetary society. The importance of music to the human society is also underlined by the Voyager mission: Both Voyager spacecrafts, which were launched at August 20th and September 05th, 1977, are bound for the stars, now, after their visits to the outer planets of our solar system (mission status: https://voyager.jpl.nasa.gov/mission/status/). They carry a gold- plated copper phonograph record, which comprises 90 minutes of music selected from all cultures next to sounds, spoken messages, and images from our planet Earth. There is rather little hope that any extraterrestrial form of life will ever come along the Voyager spacecrafts. But if this is yet going to happen they are likely able to understand the sound of music from these records at least.

Au milieu des clichés d’un club de natation britannique, d’un bal des pompiers du 14 juillet ou de touristes paressant sur la plage argentine de Mar del Plata, l’un d’entre eux attire mon attention : celui du public assistant à un concert du groupe de rock New Model Army. Martin Parr le décrit ainsi : Cette photo montre des hommes, jeunes et moins jeunes, dansant de façon très physique sur la musique du groupe New Model Army lors du Festival de musique gothique de Whitby, qui se tient chaque année depuis plus de vingt-cinq ans et compte encore un public enthousiaste […] Quand je dis « physique », c’est vraiment ça : dès que NMA a commencé à jouer, tous ont ôté leur tee-shirt et se sont jetés les uns sur les autres dans un pogo transpirant.

  • A Schenkerian Approach to Text-Music Relations in Selected Lieder by Robert Schumann
    A SCHENKERIAN APPROACH TO TEXT-MUSIC RELATIONS IN SELECTED LIEDER BY ROBERT SCHUMANN by Alexander Martin B.Mus., The University of Toronto, 2010 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS in THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE AND POSTDOCTORAL STUDIES (Music Theory) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (Vancouver) August 2013 © Alexander Martin, 2013 Abstract This is an analytical and interpretive study of selected songs by Robert Schumann. In it, I showcase some of the possible ways that concepts in Schenkerian analysis can reveal interesting, hidden, or new text-music relations. These relations, in turn, allow for new and imaginative interpretative possibilities. I demonstrate how specific Schenkerian analytical findings resonate with structures, imagery, and meaning in the poetic text of seven songs. Three songs are presented as individual case studies and each exemplify how a musical structure can take on the status of musical metaphor for a feature in the text. In “Sängers Trost” (Op. 127, no. 1), I show how tension and release in the poetry correspond to rising and falling linear progressions and that a motive introduced in the accompaniment is transformed at the vocal highpoint. In “Frühlingslust” (Op. 125, no. 2), I show how the binary opposition between freedom and imprisonment—respectively represented by a butterfly and love in the text—is dramatized in the song’s tonic-dominant polarity, and how voice-leading techniques (superposition, cover tone, and register transfer) characterize the butterfly’s carefree flight. In “Die Meerfee” (Op. 15, no. 3), I investigate how an exotic chromatic voice-exchange, within what is revealed to be a dramatic elaboration of a middleground neighbour note figure, captures the wonder and confusion experienced by a young boy who witnesses a sea fairy.

Hyniea (Niea) Gardner A Thesis in the Field of Anthropology and Archaeology for the Degree of Master of Liberal Arts in Extension Studies Harvard University May 2019 © May 2019 Hyniea (Niea) Gardner Abstract In 2016 the Korea Creative Content Agency (KOCCA) reported that the Korean music industry saw an overseas revenue of ₩5.3 trillion ($4.7 billion) in concert tickets, streaming music, compact discs (CDs), and related services and merchandise such as fan meetings and purchases of music artist apparel and accessories (Kim 2017 and Erudite Risk Business Intelligence 2017). Korean popular music (K-Pop) is a billion-dollar industry. Known for its energetic beats, synchronized choreography, and a sound that can be an amalgamation of electronica, blues, hip-hop, rock, and R&B all mixed together to create something that fans argue is “uniquely K-Pop.” However, further examination reveals that producers and songwriters – both Korean and the American and European specialists contracted by agencies – tend to base the foundation of the K-Pop sound in hip-hop and R&B, which has strong ties to African-American musical traditions.

  • Filicide in Medieval Narrative
    THE CATHOLIC UNIVERSITY OF AMERICA Filicide in Medieval Narrative A DISSERTATION Submitted to the Faculty of the Program in Comparative Literature School of Arts and Sciences Of The Catholic University of America In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For the Degree Doctor of Philosophy © Copyright All Rights Reserved By Margaret E. McKenzie Washington, D.C. 2012 Filicide in Medieval Narrative Margaret E. McKenzie, Ph.D. Director: Joan T. Grimbert, Ph.D. The majority of children who appear in the narrative literatures of the Middle Ages garner attention because they mature into kings, queens, warriors, knights, or lovers. An oft ignored but significant type of literary child is the one who dies - sometimes at the hand of a parent - during the tale. This dissertation explores the purpose of such filicides featured in medieval narratives. While shocking to audiences even today, these killings have received little scholarly attention, and extant studies, though valuable, are hampered by their narrowness of scope. This study widens the field with a multilingual approach that permits the consideration of works based upon Celtic and Germanic mythology and heroic tales alongside their more famous and frequently studied continental and British counterparts. Primary texts identified through consultation of tale-type indices and reviews of secondary literature were grouped for evaluation by content: medieval adaptations of classical narratives, feudal narratives, Celtic narratives, and Germanic narratives. Historical and legal materials aid in the contextualization of these tales. These filicide episodes, regardless of origin, serve a dual purpose within their narratives, to captivate with gripping material and to educate through example. Patterns regarding victims and perpetrators transcend linguistic and cultural boundaries.
