The essence of the project being to reveal the compositional applications of a selection of Persian, Indonesian, and Japanese musical scales utilized in three very distinct systems: theory versus performance practice and the ‘Scale of Fifths’, or cyclic division of the octave; the equally-tempered division of the octave; and the ‘Scale of Proportions’, or harmonic division of the octave championed by Harrison, among others – outlining their theoretical and aesthetic rationale, as well as their historical foundations. The project begins with the creation of three new microtonal works tailored to address some of the compositional issues of each system, and ending with an articulated exposition; obtained via the investigation of written sources, disclosure

    In Boxer China: an Experiment with International Justice at Paoting-Fu

    ACCOUNTABILITY FOR “CRIMES AGAINST THE LAWS OF HUMANITY” IN BOXER CHINA: AN EXPERIMENT WITH INTERNATIONAL JUSTICE AT PAOTING-FU BENJAMIN E. BROCKMAN-HAWE* * Benjamin E. Brockman-Hawe received his J.D. from Boston University (2008), where he graduated with honors in the concentration of international law, and his L.L.M. from Columbia University (2016). This paper was originally pre- pared for presentation at the European Society of International Law’s Tenth An- niversary Conference at Vienna, September 2014. I would like to thank Lilie Schoenack and Alice Lam for their encouragement, support and assistance in seeing this work brought to completion. I am also grateful to have been assisted by Ruiken Sun and Karl-Heinz Mertins, whose gen- erous, careful and skillful translations of Chinese and German sources was in- strumental to the completion of this project. I was also fortunate to have benefited from the insights, guidance and assistance of R. John Pritchard and Jon Bush, two of international law’s greats! Throughout this paper I refer to places and people using the spellings em- ployed by those who lived through the Boxer Rebellion in lieu of the preferred contemporary spellings. Thus, for example, the cities today identified as Baoding and Beijing I identify as Paoting-Fu and Peking. Where there was a great deal of variation for the spelling of names, I have elected to use a spelling most common to those who wrote of the events at issue (i.e., Paoting-Fu for Pao-Ting-Fu, Pao- tingfu, Pautingfu, etc.), except where the name is part of a quotation, in which case the original spelling has been preserved.

    Listening to String Sound: a Pedagogical Approach To

    LISTENING TO STRING SOUND: A PEDAGOGICAL APPROACH TO EXPLORING THE COMPLEXITIES OF VIOLA TONE PRODUCTION by MARIA KINDT (Under the Direction of Maggie Snyder) ABSTRACT String tone acoustics is a topic that has been largely overlooked in pedagogical settings. This document aims to illuminate the benefits of a general knowledge of practical acoustic science to inform teaching and performance practice. With an emphasis on viola tone production, the document introduces aspects of current physical science and psychoacoustics, combined with established pedagogy to help students and teachers gain a richer and more comprehensive view into aspects of tone production. The document serves as a guide to demonstrate areas where knowledge of the practical science can improve on playing technique and listening skills. The document is divided into three main sections and is framed in a way that is useful for beginning, intermediate, and advanced string students. The first section introduces basic principles of sound, further delving into complex string tone and the mechanism of the violin and viola. The second section focuses on psychoacoustics and how it relates to the interpretation of string sound. The third section covers some of the pedagogical applications of the practical science in performance practice. A sampling of spectral analysis throughout the document demonstrates visually some of the relevant topics. Exercises for informing intonation practices utilizing combination tones are also included.

    On December 17, 1903, Orville and Wilbur Wright, Two Brothers From

    On December 17, 1903, Orville and Wilbur Wright, two brothers from Dayton, Ohio, made the first sustained, controlled, powered flights from the sands of Kitty Hawk, North Carolina. Although 1899 we celebrate this date as the birth of aviation, the actual invention of the airplane was a painstaking and dangerous endeavor that started long before that day and continued long afterwards. To accomplish this task the Wrights built 7 aircraft, each a little better than the last, and tested them at two locations, Huffman 1900 Prairie (near Dayton) and Kitty Hawk. When they finally perfected a practical flying machine, they had made about approximately 2200 gliding flights and 158 powered flights. This work had occupied 2093 days in Dayton, 227 in Kitty 1901 Hawk, and about 20 days traveling between for a total of 2320 days over 6 years between 1899 and 1905! 1902 1903 1904 1905 Copyright © 2015 Bookworks, Inc. www.wright-brothers.org 1 “I am convinced that human flight is possible and practical.” Wilbur Wright to the Smithsonian Institution Aircraft tested: Model glider, 5-foot wingspan, flown as a kite. Longest flight: Unknown. Day 1 May 30, 1899 Wilbur’s letter to the Smithsonian. Bicycle maker Wilbur Wright tosses his hat into the scientific arena, writing to the Smithsonian Institution for information on mechanical flight and announcing his intention to “add my mite” to the emerging science of aeronautics. He is convinced that piloting an aircraft is a skill that can be learned, just like riding a bicycle. The problem, as he sees it, is control. Day 16 June 15, 1899* While twisting a small cardboard inner tube box, Wilbur discovers a simple method for changing the angle at which the wings of an aircraft meet the wind, enabling a pilot to roll into a turn.

Many musical instruments, including those from the violin, lute and oud families have evolved complex sound-hole geometries through centuries of trail and error. However, due to the inability of current theories to analyze complex sound-holes, the design knowledge in such sound-holes accumulated by time is still uncovered. Here we present the potential physical principles behind the historical de- velopment of complex sound-holes such as rosettes in lute, f-hole in violin and multiple sound-holes in oud families based on a newly developed unified approach to analyze general sound-holes. We showed that the majority of the air flow passes through the near-the-edge area of the opening, which has potentially led to the emergence of rosettes in lute family.
