WORK, Basil Manly Jr. .. 147 viii PREFACE As I have had opportunity to research the contributions of Basil Manly Jr., I have been constantly reminded of the rich hyrnnological inheritance I have received and the blessing it has been to me in my journey with the Lord. Many of the historic hymns of the faith that Manly Jr. sought to preserve and disseminate through his hymn collections have enlightened my understanding of God's grace and empowered me to praise Him with greater fervor. I think it only appropriate to thank the Lord for the encouragement I have received from the life and ministry of Basil Manly Jr. I am also indebted to the many professors who have contributed to my understanding of worship and the various means, aside from the dedication of daily service, through which it may be demonstrated. I am especially grateful for the theological, musical, and practical instruction of Professors Daniel 1. Block, Paul O. Davidson, John H. Dickson, Donald P. Hustad, Lloyd L. Mims, Tom J. Nettles, and Carl L. Starn. Dr. David L. Gregory has been exceedingly helpful to me in the investigation of primary source material for the dissertation. The initiative to undertake this study was based, in part, upon his master's thesis on Basil Manly Jr.'s principal hymn compilation, The Baptist Psalmody (1850). Lastly, I would like to thank Dr. Esther R Crookshank, who has directed my work on this project. I am grateful to God for her scholarly supervision, steadfast encouragement, devotional example, and gracious character. The fellowship of believers at Jeffersontown Baptist Church has been an ever­ present source of support and respite for me throughout my doctoral program. The IX successful accomplishment of my academic responsibilities would not have been possible without the faithful prayers, patient endurance, and constant encouragement of my family in the faith. I am thankful for the opportunities they have afforded me to serve and teach at Southern Seminary and abroad. I am especially grateful for their provision of a home, the love they have demonstrated for my wife and son, and their willingness to ordain me for future service as a minister of the Gospel. None of this work would be possible were it not for the gracious nurture and support of my immediate family. My father and mother have constantly encouraged my endeavors in theological education and musical performance. More significant, however, was the foundation they laid for my faith and the personal commitment to Christ they continue to model for me. My parents-in-law have extended great affection to me and richly blessed my life with the gift of their daughter. My wife, Janie, has been so patient and self-sacrificing during these years of study and ministry. The Lord has blessed me immeasurably with her musical giftedness, gracious service, and dear companionship. She has also given me my greatest source of earthly joy-our son, Johnathan Isaac. He is truly God's gift oflaughter to Janie and me. Finally, I cannot adequately express my gratitude for the Lord's redemption, providence, and enduring love. I would never have considered myself worthy or capable of the service to which I have been called in Christ Jesus. I only pray that He will provide me with many more days to serve His people, seek His face, and sing His praise. Nathan Harold Platt Louisville, Kentucky December 2004 x CHAPTER 1 PROSPECTUS FOR DISSERTATION Introduction Numerous individuals contributed to the vitality and diversity of congregational song among Baptists in the South during the nineteenth century. Hymn collections were compiled by prominent Baptist ministers and church musicians in almost every region of the Southern states and almost every decade of the century. Few of these collections had far-reaching influence on Baptists as a whole, however. Fewer still were the compilers whose ability, influence and interests caused their hymnals to make a lasting impact on the character as well as the quality of Southern Baptist hymnody. Basil Manly Jr. was one such figure. His influence was consistent throughout the latter half of the nineteenth century and his efforts contributed to nearly every aspect of Southern Baptist congregational song. Thesis of the Study Undertaken The intent of this study is to document the contribution of Basil Manly Jr. to Southern Baptist hymnody. His contributions as a pioneer hymnal compiler, an advocate of and agent in the development of congregational singing, and a preservationist of hymnody particularly significant to Southern Baptists will be examined in detaiL Manly Jr.'s most significant contributions to Southern Baptist hymnody came in the form ofthree hymn collections. In 1849, he collaborated with his futher in the 1 2 compilation of The Baptist Psalmody (1850). It was the ftrst hymnal published specifically for the Southern Baptist Convention and remains the most comprehensive collection of hymns ever produced by Southern Baptists.l Manly Jr. wrote eight original hymn texts while he was at work on the ftnal revision of The Baptist Psalmody. Nine of his texts were included in its repertory. Manly Jr.'s second contribution to the congregational song of Southem Baptists was the hymn and tune book, Baptist Chorals (1859). Published and compiled in collaboration with A.

  • Visual Metaphors on Album Covers: an Analysis Into Graphic Design's
    Visual Metaphors on Album Covers: An Analysis into Graphic Design’s Effectiveness at Conveying Music Genres by Vivian Le A THESIS submitted to Oregon State University Honors College in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Honors Baccalaureate of Science in Accounting and Business Information Systems (Honors Scholar) Presented May 29, 2020 Commencement June 2020 AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF Vivian Le for the degree of Honors Baccalaureate of Science in Accounting and Business Information Systems presented on May 29, 2020. Title: Visual Metaphors on Album Covers: An Analysis into Graphic Design’s Effectiveness at Conveying Music Genres. Abstract approved:_____________________________________________________ Ryann Reynolds-McIlnay The rise of digital streaming has largely impacted the way the average listener consumes music. Consequentially, while the role of album art has evolved to meet the changes in music technology, it is hard to measure the effect of digital streaming on modern album art. This research seeks to determine whether or not graphic design still plays a role in marketing information about the music, such as its genre, to the consumer. It does so through two studies: 1. A computer visual analysis that measures color dominance of an image, and 2. A mixed-design lab experiment with volunteer participants who attempt to assess the genre of a given album. Findings from the first study show that color scheme models created from album samples cannot be used to predict the genre of an album. Further findings from the second theory show that consumers pay a significant amount of attention to album covers, enough to be able to correctly assess the genre of an album most of the time.

  • ARCHITECTURE, POWER, and POVERTY Emergence of the Union
    ARCHITECTURE, POWER, AND POVERTY Emergence of the Union Workhouse Apparatus in the Early Nineteenth-Century England A Thesis Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Cornell University in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts by Gökhan Kodalak January 2015 2015, Gökhan Kodalak ABSTRACT This essay is about the interaction of architecture, power, and poverty. It is about the formative process of the union workhouse apparatus in the early nineteenth-century England, which is defined as a tripartite combination of institutional, architectural, and everyday mechanisms consisting of: legislators, official Poor Law discourse, and administrative networks; architects, workhouse buildings, and their reception in professional journals and popular media; and paupers, their everyday interactions, and ways of self-expression such as workhouse ward graffiti. A cross-scalar research is utilized throughout the essay to explore how the union workhouse apparatus came to be, how it disseminated in such a dramatic speed throughout the entire nation, how it shaped the treatment of pauperism as an experiment for the modern body-politic through the peculiar machinery of architecture, and how it functioned in local instances following the case study of Andover union workhouse. BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH Gökhan Kodalak is a PhD candidate in the program of History of Architecture and Urbanism at Cornell University. He received his bachelor’s degree in architectural design in 2007, and his master’s degree in architectural theory and history in 2011, both from Yıldız Technical University, Istanbul. He is a co-founding partner of ABOUTBLANK, an inter-disciplinary architecture office located in Istanbul, and has designed a number of award-winning architectural and urban design projects in national and international platforms.
