Natural disasters, wars, violence, crime – some in our own towns, havens we thought of as sleepy villages. I know for me the temptation is to concede the impossibility of making the world right and just giving up. And then something happens to change my perspective. This time around it was the message in the October TAO by our chaplain, Gregory Norton. I recommend it for your perusal and reflection, but until you get to it, let me quote his recurring motif: You never know. If you've ever been a teacher, you may have had the experience of having a former student come up to you quite out of the blue and say “When I was in your class, you said … and that has helped me so much!” Usually I don't even remember saying whatever it October, 2005 Page 1 was, but “you never know.” Once after a recital, a friend told me that one particular piece (Willan's Epithalamium) had turned his depression around. You never know. So I keep practicing, and going to rehearsals and reviewing music and attending staff meetings and planning my next prelude and postlude – because you really never do know how much God can do with the little contributions we make to his design. Meanwhile, there's a lot of music happening out there. Please check the calendar – I don't need to repeat everything, although I will note that David Higgs will be playing at Vassar this coming Sunday (10/2). I also suggest that we all get down to West Point on the 13th and support our good friend Tom Schmidt who did so much for our convention! If you were at the convocation in Vassar Chapel, you know what I'm talking about. But let's also do our best to support each other’s programs. We can't all get to every one of them, but if you want an audience, you also need to be an audience – at least sometimes. Our own chapter, in association with St. John’s Evangelical Lutheran Church in Poughkeepsie, is sponsoring a Workshop on Baltic Organ Music at St. John’s on Friday, October 28. The presenter will be Iveta Apkalna, a renowned organist from Latvia who will be giving a recital at St. John’s the following evening (see page 4 for photo and biography). You need a reservation for the workshop. There is no charge for chapter members, but non-members will be asked to pay a nominal fee. For information and reservations, call Maris Kristapsons at 845-635-8837. Our Pipes, Pedals and Pizza event is coming up on November 5. Let your piano students and other teachers know about it. See the calendar for more details. A very hearty thank you to Meredith Baker for a wonderful review of the convention in the October TAO – complete with her own photo. Kudos, Meredith! And thanks to all who helped commemorate 9/11 and to those who held benefit performances for hurricane relief. There are too many to mention and I'm sure to forget someone, so please accept this blanket thanks on behalf of your colleagues. I know we all appreciate the efforts. You should also be aware that the chapter board elected to send a contribution to the national fund which will go specifically to help organists who lost their churches in these recent disasters. Please feel free to contribute to that cause if you are able. We were convinced, as a board, that the fund is both legitimate and effective. Sincerely, Directions to St. John’s Evangelical Lutheran Church, Poughkeepsie From the Mid Hudson Bridge: After crossing the bridge, continue on Rte 44-55 East through 10 traffic lights. The eleventh traffic light should be Grand Avenue. Turn right onto Grand Avenue and go through two lights (Fulton Avenue and College Avenue). The third light will be Hooker Avenue, where you will turn left. Then take the second right onto Wilbur Boulevard, opposite the Chinese take-out. St. John's is on the left about a quarter- to a half-mile down the road. Ample parking is provided in a well-lighted lot. There will be signs to direct you to the meeting location. October, 2005 Page 2 From the north: Take Rte 9 south to Rte 44-55 east and follow above directions. From the south: Take Rte 9 north to Rte 44-55 east and follow above directions. From the east: Take Rte 44-55 West to Raymond Avenue. Turn left on Raymond and go to the end of the street. Turn right onto Hooker Avenue and proceed about half a mile to Wilbur Boulevard, which is the third "real" left, opposite the same Chinese take-out mentioned above. Obituary – Henry VanSeters Henry VanSeters, of Cornwall-on-Hudson, passed peacefully on Tuesday, Sept. 20, 2005 at the Elant of Goshen Facility following a short illness. Born Feb. 14, 1922 in Passaic, N.J., he was the son of John Jacob VanSeters and Irene Elizabeth Bullis, originally from Hellevoetsluis and Ouddorp, Holland. Growing up in the Wallington-Garfield- Passaic, NJ area, his fascination with pipe organs began. He started playing at age 10, apprenticing in his teens and later becoming a pipe organ builder, technician and installer for M.P. Moeller Co. in Hagerstown, MD. During WW II, with his keen sense of hearing, he was assigned underwater sound, radar and sonar duties in the US Coast Guard for four years, crossing the Atlantic 18 times and the Pacific nine items. After the war, he returned to M.P. Moeller Organ Co. and was chosen from 16 applicants to be the assistant curator of the United States Military Academy (USMA) organs at West Point, NY While serving under the Cadet Chapel's first three organists, Frederick Mayer, John A. Davis Jr. and Lee Dettra, he guided the rebuilding and expansion of the famous orchestral organ. It was all made possible through gifts and memorials, from 211 sets of pipes (ranks) to more than 324 ranks making it the largest church pipe organ and third largest organ in the world. In addition to the Chapel organ, he maintained, tuned and rebuilt the Post Chapel, Catholic Chapel, Old Cadet Chapel and St. Martin's Chapel organs, all on the USMA post. John A. Davis Jr., organist-choirmaster of the USMA for 30 of the 42 years during which Henry served said, “No one cared more for the well-being or the progress of the famed Chapel organ than Mr. VanSeters. His ability and vision were of inestimable value in guiding all of us who had anything to do with the instrument and his personal friendship was greatly cherished.” In addition to maintaining and rebuilding numerous organs in the Hudson River Valley, he built five pipe organs for various churches, including his home church, The Netherlands Reformed Congregation of Clifton, NJ. He was a frequent consultant to churches and attended American Guild of Organists, American Institute of Organbuilders and American Pipe Organ Builders yearly conventions. He was also an avid pursuer of technological design and developments. Funeral services were held on September 24 at Vander Plaat Colonial Home in Fairlawn, NJ. In lieu of flowers, contributions may be made to the church of one's own choice. October, 2005 Page 3 Latvian Organist to Give Workshop, Concert in October On Saturday, October 29, Iveta Apkalna will play a recital at St. John’s Evangelical Lutheran Church in Poughkeepsie. The previous evening, Friday, October 28, she will present a workshop for CHVAGO members and guests, at which she will provide some background on the history of organ music, organs, and organists in the Baltic states (Latvia, Lithuania, and Estonia), with an emphasis on Latvia, and she will play some representative selections. Hailing from the Eastern European nation of Latvia, 29-year-old Iveta Apkalna is already counted among the top concert organists in Europe, and her career has been marked by numerous accomplishments and honors. At the age of 16 she was the official organist during Pope John Paul II's 1993 visit to Latvia, and accompanied the Pope's mass in Aglona. Graduating with distinction from the Latvian Academy of Music in both organ and piano, she then won third prize at the 1997 Lahti International Organ Competition in Finland, first prize at the 1998 North London Piano School Competition in England, and third prize in 1999 at the International Ciurlionis Organ Competition in Lithuania. Iveta won a full scholarship at the London Guildhall School for Music and Drama where she obtained the Music Performance Diploma with Distinction in 2000. She then went on to win the Bach Ancillary Prize at the Royal Bank Calgary International Organ Festival and Competition in Canada in 2002, and first prize at the 3rd International Tariverdiev Organ Competition in Kaliningrad, Russia, in 2003.

(date) I have written this Master’s thesis independently. Any ideas or data taken from other authors or other sources have been fully referenced. I agree to publish my thesis on the DSpace at University of Tartu (digital archive) and on the webpage of the Centre for Baltic Studies, UT. ............................................................. (signature of the author and date) 2 Abstract This study investigates the relationship between how the past appears in collective memory, or ‘mnemohistory’ (J. Assmann 1997), and how history is recorded by historians as part of the historiographical accumulation of knowledge about the past. It argues that this distinction is important for our understanding of geographical borderlands, especially those which have been subject to numerous geopolitical border changes and where there is a divergence between what is remembered of the past in collective memory and what is recorded of the past in History. This study proposes a novel synthesis of concepts by applying Aleida Assmann’s (2011) distinction between functional memory and storage memory to borderlands in order to investigate the palimpsests-like layering of memory that occur there. Based on Aleida Assmann’s (2008a) concepts of ‘canon’ and ‘archive’, an interdisciplinary mixed methods approach to studying functional and storage memory in borderlands is developed using a combination of critical discourse analysis (CDA) of museums, qualitative survey analysis and an expert interview.

It doesn’t seem possible that summer is actually drawing to a close and the fall and winter lie ahead like a blank page. As I consider what needs doing immediately I also find that I don’t want to lose sight of my long term goals. And for me, this is the time of year that works best for listing a few – very few – specific things that I hope to accomplish between now and June. Perhaps you have some of your own: taking a Guild exam, reviving an old but challenging piece, preparing something for the member’s recital, learning a new work that is particularly demanding, exploring the compositions of a writer you’ve never performed before, making plans to attend the national convention next July. Whatever it is, I trust that you will find professional activities that will keep your music vital and interesting, both for you and your congregation.
