Hampton 2021 https://orcid.org/0000-0002-5364-9968 ABSTRACT OF DMA PROJECT SONGS FOR HIGH VOICE: AN ANNOTATED GUIDE TO AFRICAN ROMANCES, OP. 17 BY SAMUEL COLERIDGE-TAYLOR African Romances, Op. 17, composed in 1897 by African-British composer Samuel Coleridge-Taylor (1875-1912), is a collection of seven songs for high voice that is uniquely both African and American. The lyrics of this song cycle were first published in the book Majors and Minors, a collection of poems published in 1895 by Paul Laurence Dunbar (1872-1906). Broadly speaking, academic discourse in Black vocal music has been underrepresented due to the absence of centralized information, such as published scores, recorded materials, catalogs, and guides for study and performance. While the art song repertoire of Black composers has become more researched in depth over the years, the narrative of Samuel Coleridge-Taylor as an art song composer still remains in obscurity. Coleridge-Taylor’s vocal canon is relatively unknown compared to his famous instrumental works and the art songs of other composers of the late-Romantic period. Despite several compositions appearing in anthologies by Black song composers, the vocal works of Coleridge-Taylor are not widely recorded or performed, thus resulting in the absence of critical performance study. Specifically, the seven songs of African Romances – “An African Love Song,” “A Prayer,” “A Starry Night,” “Dawn,” “Ballad,” “Over the Hills,” and “How Shall I Woo Thee?” – have not been the subject of prior significant analysis. Additionally, African Romances represent the earliest known song cycle by a Black composer and Black poet. This treatise aims to address the underserved Black Art Song from a historical point of view, examine the musical and poetic narratives and aesthetics of Samuel Coleridge-Taylor and Paul Laurence Dunbar, and provide a guide to African Romances, Op. 17 for performers, teachers and scholars of classical vocal repertoire.

Thank you to all the members of my doctoral committee: Dr. Angelique Clay- Everett, Dr. Everett McCorvey, Dr. Lance Brunner, Dr. DaMaris Hill, and Professor Doreen Maloney. Thank you for your encouragement, support and flexibility, especially throughout the final stages of this process. You have inspired me to think in new ways that bring clarity and impact to my research and performance. Professor Cliff Jackson: thank you for sharing your musical genius and life experiences with me in every vocal coaching and helping me find my confidence as a performer.

Johnson Fellowship committee, OperaLex, and the University of Kentucky School of Music for providing scholarships and grants throughout my time at UK. I want to thank all of my family and friends for your continuous and unprecedented support through one of the most exciting and difficult seasons of my life. iii To my ancestors – my grandparents: thank you for your presence, love, and a lifetime of support since my very first academic achievement. To my sister, Dr. Talitha Hampton- Mayo, thank you for helping me organize the nuances of this dissertation narrative with your strategic management expertise. To my brothers, Dr. David Mayo and Keith Wilkerson, thank you for your continuous encouragement and emotional availability. To my parents, James Hampton (daddy) and Darniece Hampton (mommy): thank you. There are not enough words to describe how grateful I am that the Creator chose you both to be my parents. Thank for believing in and supporting all of my dreams, validating me, celebrating every milestone and accomplishment with me, and challenging me to create the world that I wish to exist. I also want to acknowledge my friends, Dr. Julie Foster, my Glide crew, and my UK housemate, Tanyaradzwa Tawengwa: thank you all for understanding and encouraging me.

    The Cult of Old Believers' Domestic Icons and the Beginning of Old

    religions Article The Cult of Old Believers’ Domestic Icons and the Beginning of Old Belief in Russia in the 17th-18th Centuries Aleksandra Sulikowska-Bełczowska Institute of Art History, University of Warsaw, Krakowskie Przedmie´scie26/28, 00-927 Warszawa, Poland; [email protected] Received: 23 August 2019; Accepted: 11 October 2019; Published: 14 October 2019 Abstract: The aim of this paper is to present the cult of icons in the Old Believer communities from the perspective of private devotion. For the Old Believers, from the beginning of the movement, in the middle of the 17th century, icons were at the center of their religious life. They were also at the center of religious conflict between Muscovite Patriarch Nikon, who initiated the reforms of the Russian Orthodox Church, and the Old Believers and their proponent, archpriest Avvakum Petrov. Some sources and documents from the 16th and 18th centuries make it possible to analyze the reasons for the popularity of small-sized icons among priested (popovtsy) and priestless (bespopovtsy) Old Believers, not only in their private houses but also in their prayer houses (molennas). The article also shows the role of domestic icons from the middle of the 17th century as a material foundation of the identity of the Old Believers movement. Keywords: icons; private devotion; Old Believers; Patriarch Nikon; archpriest Avvakum 1. Introduction When I visited an Old Believers’ prayer house i.e., molenna for the first time I was amazed by the uncommon organization of the space. It was in 1997, in Vidzy—a village in northwestern Belarus (Sulikowska 1998, pp.

    Nordic race - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nordic_race From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The Nordic race is one of the putative sub-races into which some late 19th- to mid 20th-century anthropologists divided the Caucasian race. People of the Nordic type were described as having light-colored (typically blond) hair, light-colored (typically blue) eyes, fair skin and tall stature, and they were empirically considered to predominate in the countries of Central and Northern Europe. Nordicism, also "Nordic theory," is an ideology of racial supremacy that claims that a Nordic race, within the greater Caucasian race, constituted a master race.[1][2] This ideology was popular in the late 19th and early 20th centuries in some Central and Northern European countries as well as in North America, and it achieved some further degree of mainstream acceptance throughout Germany via Nazism. Meyers Blitz-Lexikon (Leipzig, 1932) shows famous German war hero (Karl von Müller) as an example of the Nordic type. 1 Background ideas 1.1 Attitudes in ancient Europe 1.2 Renaissance 1.3 Enlightenment 1.4 19th century racial thought 1.5 Aryanism 2 Defining characteristics 2.1 20th century 2.2 Coon (1939) 2.3 Depigmentation theory 3 Nordicism 3.1 In the USA 3.2 Nordicist thought in Germany 3.2.1 Nazi Nordicism 3.3 Nordicist thought in Italy 3.3.1 Fascist Nordicism 3.4 Post-Nazi re-evaluation and decline of Nordicism 3.5 Early criticism: depigmentation theory 3.6 Lundman (1977) 3.7 Forensic anthropology 3.8 21st century 3.9 Genetic reality 4 See also 5 Notes 6 Further reading 7 External links Attitudes in ancient Europe 1 of 18 6/18/2013 7:33 PM Nordic race - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nordic_race Most ancient writers were from the Southern European civilisations, and generally took the view that people living in the north of their lands were barbarians.

Songfest 2005 is supported, in part, by grants from the Aaron Copland Fund for Music and the Virgil Thomson Foundation. Songfest photography courtesy of Luisa Gulley. Songfest is a 501(c)3 corporation. All donations are 100% tax-deductible to the full extent permitted by law. Dear Friends, It is a great honor and joy for me to present Songfest 2005 at Pepperdine University once again this summer. In our third year of residence at this beautiful ocean-side Malibu campus, Songfest has grown to encompass an ever-widening circle of inspiration and achievement. Always focusing on the special relationship between singer and pianist, we have moved on from our unique emphasis on recognized masterworks of art song to exploring the varied and rich American Song. We are once again privileged to have John Harbison with us this summer. He has generously donated a commission to Songfest – Vocalism – to be premiered on the June 19 concert. Our singers and pianists will be previewing his new song cycle on poems by Milosz. Each time I read these beautiful poems, I am reminded why we love this music and how our lives are enriched. What an honor and unique opportunity this is for Songfest.
