Thompson, Mgr. 6 HISTORICAL AND DESCRIPTIVE NOTES By JOHN N. BURK (Reprinted by permission of the Boston Symphony Orchestra, Inc.) CONCERTO, G MAJOR, No. 3 (OF THE BRANDENBURG SET) FOR THREE VIOLINS, THREE VIOLAS, THREE VIOLONCELLOS, WITH BASS BY THE CEMBALO (WITH THE SINFONIA FROM THE CANTATA "CHRIST LAG IN TODESBANDEN") By JOHANN SEBASTIAN BACH Born at Eisenach on March 21, 1685; died at Leipzig on July 28, 1750 rr HE set of Brandenburg concertos can be looked upon as an experiment in various -I- instrumental combinations. Of the six, this one is unique in being written for strings only, and in having no intervening slow movement to bring the customary contrast between the two allegros. The original title runs "Concerto 3zo a Ire Violini, tre Viole, e tre Violoncelli col Basso per it Cembalo," but the score definitely gives a place to the string basses, doubling the 'cellos, whereby the "cembalo" becomes merely a reinforcing instrument, unessential in the general balance. Bach thus divides his forces into three complete and equal string orchestras. At times, as in the first exposition, the three parts for each kind of instrument are in unison, making an ensemble of only three distinct voices (though the players themselves are dis- tributed), giving a special sense of integration and solidity. At times the three parts (for violins, violas, or 'cellos) are at variance, giving an infinite diversity and richness in contra- puntal imitation. Using brief rhythmic figures, Bach establishes and sustains an astonishing vitality in their varied manipulation. "The two movements," writes J. A. Fuller-Maitland, "make up a composition that is surely without a rival as the expression of a frank and fear- less joy, a joy from which everyday mirth is not excluded and which yet is well fitted for a tribute of spiritual exultation." Philip Spitta speaks of the first movement as "instinct with life and genius." He draws the attention to a particular passage (from the 78th bar) which he considers "as fine as anything in the whole realm of German instrumental music; the chief subject is given out in the second violin part, the first violin then starts an entirely new subject which next appears on the second violin, drawing in more and more instru- ments, and is at last taken up by the third violin and the third viola, and given out weightily on their G strings; this is the signal for a flood of sound to be set free from all sides, in the swirl of which all polyphony is drowned for several bars.

  • Massachusetts Forests at the Crossroads
    MASSACHUSETTS FORESTS AT THE CROSSROADS Forests, Parks, Landscapes, Environment, Quality of Life, Communities and Economy Threatened by Industrial Scale Logging & Biomass Power Deerfield River, Mohawk Trail Windsor State Forest, 2008, “Drinking Water Supply Area, Please protect it!” March 5, 2009 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The fate of Massachusetts’ forests is at a crossroads. Taxpayer subsidized policies and proposals enacted and promoted by Governor Patrick’s office of Energy and Environmental Affairs seriously threaten the health, integrity and peaceful existence of Massachusetts forests. All the benefits provided by these forests including wilderness protection, fish and wildlife habitat, recreation, clean water, clean air, tourism, carbon sequestration and scenic beauty are now under threat from proposals to aggressively log parks and forests as outlined below. • About 80% of State forests and parks are slated for logging with only 20% set aside in reserves. (p.4) • Aggressive logging and clear-cutting of State forests and parks has already started and new management plans call for logging rates more than 400% higher than average historical levels. (p. 5-18) • “Clear-cutting and its variants” is proposed for 74% of the logging. Historically, selective logging was common. (p. 5-18) • The timber program costs outweigh its revenue . Taxpayers are paying to cut their own forests.(p.19) • The State has enacted laws and is spending taxpayer money devoted to “green” energy to promote and subsidize the development of at least five wood-fueled, industrial-scale biomass power plants. These plants would require tripling the logging rate on all Massachusetts forests, public and private. At this rate, all forests could be logged in just 25 years.

  • Improved Methods of Visitor Attendance Collection at Massachusetts State Parks Project Sponsor: the Department of Conservation and Recreation of Massachusetts
    41-HXA-B116 Improved Methods of Visitor Attendance Collection at Massachusetts State Parks Project Sponsor: The Department of Conservation and Recreation of Massachusetts An Interactive Qualifying Project Report submitted to the Faculty of the WORCESTER POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTE in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Bachelor of Science Submitted by: Nancy Bezies Bryce Calvetti Matthew Poppa October 12, 2011 Submitted to: Holly Ault, WPI Professor, Project Advisor James Hanlan, WPI Professor, Project Advisor Garry Briere, DCR, Bureau Chief of Recreations, On-site Liaison Johanna Zabriskie, DCR, Human Resources, On-site Liaison This report represents the work of three WPI undergraduate students submitted to the faculty as evidence of completion of a degree requirement. As such, it expresses the views of the authors and does not represent the policy or views of the sponsoring agency. WPI routinely publishes these reports on its website without editorial or peer review. Abstract The team conducted this research to help the Massachusetts Department of Conservation and Recreation (DCR) improve their state park attendance collection methods. We divided the DCR’s parks into categories based on modes of public access to the facilities. Then we conducted a survey and phone interviews with state park directors across the nation to identify state of the art visitor attendance collection methods currently being employed throughout the nation. We used a performance characteristics scale to rate each method according to the categories of park access. Based on this scale, we recommended the most effective methods of tracking park attendance at various kinds of state parks to the DCR.
