I need to begin with Dr. Angelique Clay-Everett. From the first time I met with her, she has been a supportive teacher, mentor and friend. Her belief in my abilities has been such an encouragement at times that I thought I would be unable to go on. I also would like to thank my full committee- Dr. Noemi Lugo, Dr. Michael Baker, Dr. Lance Brunner, and Dr. Jonathan Allison- for their patience and the reminder that I am too hard on myself. It was only when I really took this to heart, that I was able to move forward on this document. I want to thank my dear friend, Ellie Brown who diligently read, corrected and praised my writing. You will make a wonderful teacher and I am so grateful for the kick in the pants you gave me to finish my paper and graduate. I also must thank Martha Robertson for her insights, prayers and friendship through this time. Other dear friends who have been a huge support include Diana Draper, Jesslyn Newhall, the Brown family, and my best friend, Kristen Sweitzer- all of you have helped me keep my sanity in a time when I thought I might lose it! I would be remiss to leave out the ladies of my Step Study group who have fervently prayed for my discipline to keep working until I am finished. All of you are a blessing to me. I certainly must thank my father, Ronnie Huggins, who has never lost faith in me and has always been my biggest fan. Thank you for being such an encouragement to me and helping me to see that I can do this. I also send thanks heavenward to my mother, Sandra Preece. Thank you for recognizing my gifts at an early age and helping me to nurture them. You knew twenty years ago that I should be a Professor. I miss you so much. Lastly, I thank the man who has supported me financially during this time and given me the space I needed to finally get through this document. Nathan Smith, I will always be grateful to you for everything. iii TABLE OF CONTENTS ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS.............................................................................................................iii LIST OF TABLES AND FIGURES...............................................................................................vi LIST OF MUSICAL EXAMPLES.................................................................................................vii PART I: MONOGRAPH CHAPTER I: INTRODUCTION......................................................................................................1 BACKGROUND.................................................................................................................1 PURPOSE............................................................................................................................2 METHODOLOGY............................................................................................................. 3 REVIEW OF LITERATURE............................................................................................. 5 CHAPTER II: WINTTER WATTS AND AMERICAN ARTS CULTURE: 1900-1930................7 INTRODUCTION.............................................................................................................. 7 EUROPEAN HERITAGE: INFLUENCES AND DIVERGENCE....................................9 A COMPOSER’S LIVELIHOOD.....................................................................................13 EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES FOR COMPOSERS.............................................16 WOMEN: THEIR INFLUENCE ON AND SUPPORT OF CLASSICAL MUSIC.........19 CONCLUSIONS...............................................................................................................21 CHAPTER III: WINTTER WATTS AND SARA TEASDALE, A BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH........................................................................................................................................ 23 LIFE AND WORKS OF WINTTER WATTS................................................................. 23 LIFE AND WORK OF SARA TEADALE...................................................................... 36 CHAPTER IV: WINTTER WATTS’ SETTINGS OF TEASDALE POEMS...............................40 BACKGROUND ON VIGNETTES OF ITALY.............................................................. 40 ADDIO................................................................................................................. 42 NAPLES............................................................................................................... 47 CAPRI...................................................................................................................51 NIGHT SONG AT AMALFI................................................................................56 RUINS OF PAESTUM.........................................................................................61 FROM A ROMAN HILL......................................................................................64 PONTE VECCHIO, FLORENCE.........................................................................58 VILLA SERBELLONI, BELLAGGIO.................................................................74 STRESA................................................................................................................77 CRITICAL REVIEWS

Until 1939,ASCAP was a closed BY REEBEEGAROFALO society with a virtual monopoly on all copyrighted music.

  • ABSTRACT Reading Dreams: an Audience-Critical Approach to the Dreams in the Gospel of Matthew Derek S. Dodson, B.A., M.Div
    ABSTRACT Reading Dreams: An Audience-Critical Approach to the Dreams in the Gospel of Matthew Derek S. Dodson, B.A., M.Div. Mentor: Charles H. Talbert, Ph.D. This dissertation seeks to read the dreams in the Gospel of Matthew (1:18b-25; 2:12, 13-15, 19-21, 22; 27:19) as the authorial audience. This approach requires an understanding of the social and literary character of dreams in the Greco-Roman world. Chapter Two describes the social function of dreams, noting that dreams constituted one form of divination in the ancient world. This religious character of dreams is further described by considering the practice of dreams in ancient magic and Greco-Roman cults as well as the role of dream interpreters. This chapter also includes a sketch of the theories and classification of dreams that developed in the ancient world. Chapters Three and Four demonstrate the literary dimensions of dreams in Greco-Roman literature. I refer to this literary character of dreams as the “script of dreams;” that is, there is a “script” (form) to how one narrates or reports dreams in ancient literature, and at the same time dreams could be adapted, or “scripted,” for a range of literary functions. This exploration of the literary representation of dreams is nuanced by considering the literary form of dreams, dreams in the Greco-Roman rhetorical tradition, the inventiveness of literary dreams, and the literary function of dreams. In light of the social and literary contexts of dreams, the dreams of the Gospel of Matthew are analyzed in Chapter Five.

  • Appendix B: a Literary Heritage I
    Appendix B: A Literary Heritage I. Suggested Authors, Illustrators, and Works from the Ancient World to the Late Twentieth Century All American students should acquire knowledge of a range of literary works reflecting a common literary heritage that goes back thousands of years to the ancient world. In addition, all students should become familiar with some of the outstanding works in the rich body of literature that is their particular heritage in the English- speaking world, which includes the first literature in the world created just for children, whose authors viewed childhood as a special period in life. The suggestions below constitute a core list of those authors, illustrators, or works that comprise the literary and intellectual capital drawn on by those in this country or elsewhere who write in English, whether for novels, poems, nonfiction, newspapers, or public speeches. The next section of this document contains a second list of suggested contemporary authors and illustrators—including the many excellent writers and illustrators of children’s books of recent years—and highlights authors and works from around the world. In planning a curriculum, it is important to balance depth with breadth. As teachers in schools and districts work with this curriculum Framework to develop literature units, they will often combine literary and informational works from the two lists into thematic units. Exemplary curriculum is always evolving—we urge districts to take initiative to create programs meeting the needs of their students. The lists of suggested authors, illustrators, and works are organized by grade clusters: pre-K–2, 3–4, 5–8, and 9– 12.
