AT WEST Black Caracul Coats Because lustrous black caracul of the finer qualities have the supple smoothness of fabric, coats of this fur are a favored fashion. Lending itself so well to manipulation, it is not strange then, that black caracul has been adjudged a perfect me- dium for couturiere de- tails. Following the lines of the new silhouette coats are slightly wrapped in effect, and in many cases show the charming princesse line, or a flaring skirt.

George Frideric Handel (Born at Halle on February 23, 1685 ; died at London, April 14, 1759) Handel's twelve grand concertos for strings were composed be- tween September 29 and October 30, 1739. The tenth bears the date October 22. The London Daily Post of October 29, 1739, said: "This day are published proposals for printing by subscription, with His Majesty's royal license and protection, Twelve Grand Concertos, in Seven Parts, for four violins, a tenor, a violoncello, with a thorough-bass for the harpsichord. Composed by Mr. Handel. Price to subscribers, two guineas. Keady to be delivered by April next. Subscriptions are taken by the author, at his house* in Brook Street, Hanover Square, and by Walsh." In an advertisement on Novem- ber 22 the publisher added, "Two of the above concertos will be per- formed this evening at the Theatre Royal, Lincoln's Inn." The This was the little house, No. 25 Lower Brook Street (now Brook Street), in which Handel lived from 1725 until his death. Here he composed the "Messiah," "Saul," and other oratorios. "Alter his death his valet rented the house and made the most of Handel's long residence to secure lodgers." "Sydney Smith lived in this house in 1835" (George H. Cunningham's "London." Handel lived for three years in Old Burlington House, erected by the third Earl of Burlington, amateur architect and friend of Pope.) In the rate-book of 1725 Handel was named owner, and the house rated at £35 a year. Mr. W. H. Cummins, about 1903, visiting this house, found a cast-lead cistern, on the front of which in bold relief was "1721. G. F. H." The house had then been in possession of a family about seventy years, and various structural alterations had been made. A back room on the first floor was said to have been Handel's composition-room. LEE PATTISON at Jordan Hall, Thursday, October 24th is featuring his new PIANO SUITE "TOLD IN THE HILLS" 1.

SCHMIDT CO., 120 Boylston Street 91 " concertos were published on April 21, 1740. In an advertisement a few days afterwards Walsh said, "These concertos were per- formed at the Theatre Koyal in Lincoln's Inn Fields, and now are played in most public places with the greatest applause." Victor Schoelcher made this comment in his Life of Handel : "This- was the case with all .the works of Handel. They were so frequently performed at contemporaneous concerts and benefits that they seem, during his lifetime, to have quite become public property.

  • Chapter IX: Ukrainian Musical Folklore Discography As a Preserving Factor
    Art Spiritual Dimensions of Ukrainian Diaspora: Collective Scientific Monograph DOI 10.36074/art-sdoud.2020.chapter-9 Nataliia Fedorniak UKRAINIAN MUSICAL FOLKLORE DISCOGRAPHY AS A PRESERVING FACTOR IN UKRAINIAN DIASPORA NATIONAL SPIRITUAL EXPERIENCE ABSTRACT: The presented material studies one of the important forms of transmission of the musical folklore tradition of Ukrainians in the United States and Canada during the XX – the beginning of the XXI centuries – sound recording, which is a component of the national spiritual experience of emigrants. Founded in the 1920s, the recording industry has been actively developed and has become a form of preservation and promotion of the traditional musical culture of Ukrainians in North America. Sound recordings created an opportunity to determine the features of its main genres, the evolution of forms, that are typical for each historical period of Ukrainians’ sedimentation on the American continent, as well as to understand the specifics of the repertoire, instruments and styles of performance. Leading record companies in the United States have recorded authentic Ukrainian folklore reconstructed on their territory by rural musicians and choirs. Arranged folklore material is represented by choral and bandura recordings, to which are added a large number of records, cassettes, CDs of vocal-instrumental pop groups and soloists, where significantly and stylistically diversely recorded secondary Ukrainian folklore (folklorism). INTRODUCTION. The social and political situation in Ukraine (starting from the XIX century) caused four emigration waves of Ukrainians and led to the emergence of a new cultural phenomenon – the art and folklore of Ukrainian emigration, i.e. diaspora culture. Having found themselves in difficult ambiguous conditions, where there was no favorable living environment, Ukrainian musical folklore began to lose its original identity and underwent assimilation processes.

Jouhikko: An Instrumental Evolution Submitted December 11, 2017 in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements of HON 420 Eastern Kentucky University Fall 2017 By: Rachel Bracker Mentor Dr. Timothy Smit Department of History i Abstract Title: Jouhikko: An Instrumental Evolution Author: Rachel Bracker Mentor: Dr. Timothy Smit, Department of History The Jouhikko is a unique instrument from Finland that has been in use since around the twelfth century. The Jouhikko is a member of the bowed lyre instrumental family, and its origin is surrounded in mystery and uncertainty. However, references to the Jouhikko, and instruments which could be potentially related to it, can be found in the Finnish epic the Kalevala and in archaeological sites throughout the Scandinavian region. The first portion of this project investigates the evolution of the Jouhikko over time. This is done by examining the history of instruments with similar designs and/or construction, such as the Gusli and the Erhu, as well as looking into the evolution of the bow.

  • Kannel and Melodica by Eliska Svobodova
    Kannel and Melodica by Eliska Svobodova The kannel is Estonian version of an instrument known throughout the world as either zither or lap harp. But to refer to the Estonian origin it is recommended by the instrument masters to use the same name as in Estonian - kannel. It's history dates back over 2000 years. Kannel was formed in ancient times among Fenno-Baltic and Baltic tribes and was taken over by neighbouring Balto-Slavic tribes. Finns have kantele, Latvians - kokle, Lithuanians - kanklis, Slavs - gusli. The oldest string instrument in Estonia is a 6-7 string (earlier 5-string) kannel. My instrument has 6 strings - part of D major: d1 - e1 - f1 sharp - g1 - a1 - b1 Peculiar to the kannel is its long sound. One technique of playing is "picking" - allows a more melodic tune to be made. This technique is better for slower melodies. Another is "covered technique" - playing chords - one hand covers strings and other one plays chords - the range of the chords is limited in relation to number of strings. The kannel is a relatively soft instrument. It is far not so powerful as most of the classical instruments. http://www.kandlekoda.ee/history.htm The melodica or wind piano can be described as a free reed system with a mouthpiece, air chamber, and keyboard. It produces sound only exhaling into not inhaling. When playing more than one note at a time the instrument can sound very reminiscent of an accordion. It is possible to play it both hands - like a piano. There is also possible to create glissando and tremolo.
