  • The Colorado College Music Department Presents the Bowed Piano Ensemble's Ninth Europe Tour Preview Concert
    The Colorado College Music Department presents The Bowed Piano Ensemble’s Ninth Europe tour preview concert Stephen Scott, Founder, Director and Composer Victoria Hansen, soprano During the next two weeks, this program will be performed in London, Italy and Malta The Ensemble: Zachary Bellows, Connor Rice, Neil Hesse, Andrew Pope, Saraiya Ruano, Hadar Zeigerson, Drew Campbell, Sylvie Scowcroft, Trisha Andrews, Stephen Scott Thursday, March 7, 2013 7:30 PM Packard Hall PROGRAM New York Drones (2006) The Ensemble premiered this piece on October 26 and 28, 2006 at Cincinnati’s Contemporary Arts Center and the Allen Room, Frederick P. Rose Hall, Home of Jazz at Lincoln Center, in New York. The work is dedicated to the great American composer Steve Reich in honor of his seventieth birthday that month. Without his brilliant and sustained vision, our contemporary musical language would be much poorer. I personally owe Steve a great debt of gratitude; as a young and inexperienced composer, I went to Ghana in 1970 to study polyrhythmic drumming and, by chance, met Steve, who was there for the same reason and whom I knew of and admired for his early minimalist compositions Come Out and Violin Phase. He took me under his wing and gave me a listening and score-reading tour of his current work. Later I collaborated with Terry Riley, one of Steve’s important influences, and the music of these two composers, along with jazz, became my most significant inspiration as I began to develop my own musical ideas. In this piece I have interpreted the concept of drones quite liberally to encompass not only long sustained tones but also repeating rhythms on one pitch or repeating melodic and harmonic patterns in a single mode.

Historical and commemorative medals can often be used to help illustrate the plight of a People. Such is the case with medals issued during the period of the War of 1812. As wars go, this war was fairly short and had relatively few casualties1, but it had enormous impact on the future of the countries and inhabitants of the Northern Hemisphere. At the conclusion of this conflict, the geography, destiny and social structure of the newly-formed United States of America and Canada were forever and irrevocably altered.

  • Colonial Failure in the Anglo-North Atlantic World, 1570-1640 (2015)
    FINDLEY JR, JAMES WALTER, Ph.D. “Went to Build Castles in the Aire:” Colonial Failure in the Anglo-North Atlantic World, 1570-1640 (2015). Directed by Dr. Phyllis Whitman Hunter. 266pp. This study examines the early phases of Anglo-North American colonization from 1570 to 1640 by employing the lenses of imagination and failure. I argue that English colonial projectors envisioned a North America that existed primarily in their minds – a place filled with marketable and profitable commodities waiting to be extracted. I historicize the imagined profitability of commodities like fish and sassafras, and use the extreme example of the unicorn to highlight and contextualize the unlimited potential that America held in the minds of early-modern projectors. My research on colonial failure encompasses the failure of not just physical colonies, but also the failure to pursue profitable commodities, and the failure to develop successful theories of colonization. After roughly seventy years of experience in America, Anglo projectors reevaluated their modus operandi by studying and drawing lessons from past colonial failure. Projectors learned slowly and marginally, and in some cases, did not seem to learn anything at all. However, the lack of learning the right lessons did not diminish the importance of this early phase of colonization. By exploring the variety, impracticability, and failure of plans for early settlement, this study investigates the persistent search for usefulness of America by Anglo colonial projectors in the face of high rate of

  • CHAIRMEN of SENATE STANDING COMMITTEES [Table 5-3] 1789–Present
    CHAIRMEN OF SENATE STANDING COMMITTEES [Table 5-3] 1789–present INTRODUCTION The following is a list of chairmen of all standing Senate committees, as well as the chairmen of select and joint committees that were precursors to Senate committees. (Other special and select committees of the twentieth century appear in Table 5-4.) Current standing committees are highlighted in yellow. The names of chairmen were taken from the Congressional Directory from 1816–1991. Four standing committees were founded before 1816. They were the Joint Committee on ENROLLED BILLS (established 1789), the joint Committee on the LIBRARY (established 1806), the Committee to AUDIT AND CONTROL THE CONTINGENT EXPENSES OF THE SENATE (established 1807), and the Committee on ENGROSSED BILLS (established 1810). The names of the chairmen of these committees for the years before 1816 were taken from the Annals of Congress. This list also enumerates the dates of establishment and termination of each committee. These dates were taken from Walter Stubbs, Congressional Committees, 1789–1982: A Checklist (Westport, CT: Greenwood Press, 1985). There were eleven committees for which the dates of existence listed in Congressional Committees, 1789–1982 did not match the dates the committees were listed in the Congressional Directory. The committees are: ENGROSSED BILLS, ENROLLED BILLS, EXAMINE THE SEVERAL BRANCHES OF THE CIVIL SERVICE, Joint Committee on the LIBRARY OF CONGRESS, LIBRARY, PENSIONS, PUBLIC BUILDINGS AND GROUNDS, RETRENCHMENT, REVOLUTIONARY CLAIMS, ROADS AND CANALS, and the Select Committee to Revise the RULES of the Senate. For these committees, the dates are listed according to Congressional Committees, 1789– 1982, with a note next to the dates detailing the discrepancy.

  • Archives and Justice: Willard Ireland's Contribution to the Changing Legal Framework of Aboriginal Rights in Canada, 1963–
    Archives and Justice: Willard Ireland’s Contribution to the Changing Legal Framework of Aboriginal Rights in Canada, 1963–1973 ANNE LINDSAY* RÉSUMÉ Malgré leur rôle essentiel dans l’acquisition, le classement, la préservation et la diffusion de documents culturels et légaux importants, les contributions des archivistes canadiens en matière de droits humains et de justice sociale au Canada et dans le monde ont souvent été négligées. Pourtant, ces contributions ont influencé le discours public et légal par rapport aux questions telles les droits des Autochtones et elles ont résonné dans les décisions judiciaires qui sont aujourd’hui à la base de notre connaissance de ces questions. Étant donné leur accès à une information plus poussée du contexte historique et de l’histoire des documents d’archives, les archivistes appor- tent souvent des perspectives uniques; cependant, on prend souvent pour acquis cet accès au contexte et à l’histoire. La vie et la carrière de Willard Ernest Ireland (1914- 1979), archiviste provincial de la Colombie-Britannique de 1940 à 1974, illustre bien cet oubli. On a peu écrit au sujet d’Ireland et de l’influence de sa carrière, non seule- ment sur la préservation de l’histoire, mais aussi sur la création même de celle-ci. Ce texte examinera les contributions clés de Ireland à deux causes judiciaires, Regina v. White and Bob et Calder v. The Attorney General of British Columbia, causes criti- ques pour l’établissement d’un fondement légal pour les droits des Autochtones au Canada. ABSTRACT Despite their pivotal roles in collecting, organizing, preserving, and disseminating important cultural and legal records, the contributions of Canadian archivists to the pursuit of human rights and social justice in Canada and the world * This paper has come about through the kindness and support of many people.

  • Stooping to Conquer: Heathen Idolatry and Protestant Humility in the Imperial Legend of Sir Francis Drake
    Stooping to Conquer: Heathen Idolatry and Protestant Humility in the Imperial Legend of Sir Francis Drake by ChristopherHodgkins T NHE Muses seem to have neglected Sir FrancisDrake. "Itis curi- ous," writes W. T. Jewkes, "that Drake's voyages and exploits have made such a small impact on major English literature, par- ticularly in his own age." I On one level, Jewkes is right; as Michael J. B. Allen has noted, there is nothing about Drake in English to compare with Luis de Camoens's brilliantly realized Os Lusiados, his national epic about the Portuguese mariner Vasco da Gama. So, says Allen, Drake's influence on English literature is only felt "gradually, obliquely, inconspicuously almost," in the imagery of The Tempest, in Donne's hymn in his sickness, in Marvell's ode on the Bermudas. "Drake's finest interpreter might have been Conrad," Allen suggests; but he laments that Conrad "left Drake unillumined by his intricate, musical prose."2 Throughout this essay I have, wherever possible, cited rare printed books according to their reference numbers in these two major catalogues: A. W. Pollard and G. R. Redgrave, A Short-TitleCatalogue of BooksPrinted in England, Scotland,and Irelandand of English Books Printed Abroad, 1475-1640, 2nd ed. (London: The Bibliographical Society, 1986), 2 VOlS.; and Donald Wing, A Short-Title Catalogue of Books Printed in England, Scotland, Ireland, Wales,and British Americaand of English BooksPrinted in OtherCountries, 1641-1700, 2nd ed. (New York: Modern Language Association, 1972), 3 vols. I have used the common abbre- viations for these two works, that is, "STC"and "Wing," respectively.

  • Thesis-Antithesis: Clark & Casey
    Thesis-Antithesis: Clark & Casey January 31, 2007 by Dr. G. Terry Madonna and Dr. Michael Young The ghost of Joe Clark has been lurking around the edges of political news lately following the election of Pennsylvania Democrat Bob Casey Jr. to the Senate. Clark served as US Senator from Pennsylvania from 1957 until 1969. Before entering the Senate, he was mayor of Philadelphia, a lawyer, a writer (author of two books), and something of an intellectual (a member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences). Clark is remembered due to the historical significance of his last electoral victory; in 1962 he was the last Democrat to be elected to a full six-year term until Bob Casey turned the trick in 2006. Clark and Casey have this history in common. But the two men seem almost polar opposites in most other ways. Tracing the backgrounds, careers, and philosophies of the pair reveal them to be virtual political antonyms--the yin and yang of Pennsylvania politics. Consider: Divergent Family Background--Clark was the quintessential blue blood, coming from a family with roots in the state dating back to the early 19th century. His family hobnobbed with the likes of lawyer/financier Jay Cooke. He attended Harvard as did his dad. He lived a life to the manor born with private country clubs and debutante parties. On the other hand, Casey was the grandson of a coal miner, was reared in a hard scrabble town, and attended Catholic school. One of seven siblings, his early background was solidly middle class, his values solidly middle American, and his politics solidly FDR Democrat.
