In College Green ii. Song for Amanda iii. Minuet iv. Largo (The tender lover) v. Rigaudon Arthur Duff showed early promise as a musician. He was a chorister at Dublin’s Christ Church Cathedral and studied at the Royal Irish Academy of Music, taking his degree in music at Trinity College, Dublin. He was later awarded a doctorate in music in 1942. Duff had initially intended to enter the Church of Ireland as a priest, but abandoned his studies in favour of a career in music, studying composition for a time with Hamilton Harty. He was organist and choirmaster at Christ Church, Bray, for a short time before becoming a bandmaster in the Army School of Music and conductor of the Army No. 2 band based in Cork. He left the army in 1931, at the same time that his short-lived marriage broke down, and became Music Director at the Abbey Theatre, writing music for plays such as W.B. Yeats’s The King of the Great Clock Tower and Resurrection, and Denis Johnston’s A Bride for the Unicorn. The Abbey connection also led to the composition of one of Duff’s characteristic works, the Drinking Horn Suite (1953 but drawing on music he had composed twenty years earlier as a ballet score).

  • National Endowment for the Arts Annual Report 1996
    TO THE CONGRESS OF THE UNITED STATES: It is my pleasure to transmit herewith the Annual Report of the National Endowment for the Arts for the fiscal year 1996. One measure of a great nation is the vitality of its culture, the dedication of its people to nurturing a climate where creativity can flourish. By support­ ing our museums and theaters, our dance companies and symphony orches­ tras, our writers and our artists, the National Endowment for the Arts provides such a climate. Look through this report and you will find many reasons to be proud of our Nation’s cultural life at the end of the 20th century and what it portends for Americans and the world in the years ahead. Despite cutbacks in its budget, the Endowment was able to fund thou­ sands of projects all across America -- a museum in Sitka, Alaska, a dance company in Miami, Florida, a production of Eugene O’Neill in New York City, a Whisder exhibition in Chicago, and artists in the schools in all 50 states. Millions of Americans were able to see plays, hear concerts, and participate in the arts in their hometowns, thanks to the work of this small agency. As we set priorities for the coming years, let’s not forget the vita! role of the National Endowment for the Arts must continue to play in our national life. The Endowment shows the world that we take pride in American culture here and abroad. It is a beacon, not only of creativity, but of free­ dom. And let us keep that lamp brightly burning now and for all time.

    Limba engleză - Modul de studiu 5 INTRODUCERE Acest curs de limba engleză se adresează studenţilor Academiei de Muzică „Gheorghe Dima” Cluj- Napoca din cadrul Departamentului de Învăţământ la Distanţă, având ca scop acumularea de cunoştinţe în domeniul limbii engleze, prin însuşirea atât a elementelor de morfologie şi sintaxă, specifice limbii engleze în general, cât şi a celor de vocabular, specifice domeniului muzical-artistic. Ca instrument de lucru de bază se va folosi volumul Grammar Practice for Intermediate Students – with key and with CD-ROM, de Sheila Dignen şi Brigit Viney, împreună cu Elaine Walker şi Steve Elsworth, ed. Pearson Longman, 2007, manual care găseşte la biblioteca DID din Cadrul Academiei de Muzică „Gheorghe Dima”. Pentru însuşirea elementelor de vocabular specifice domeniului muzical se vor folosi materiale (texte, exerciţii de înţelegere a acestor texte, exerciţii de traducere) preluate din bibliografia adiţională. Cursul este structurat sub forma a şase module de studiu care vor permite studenţilor însuşirea graduală a elementelor de gramatică şi vocabular, precum şi aplicarea practică a cunoştinţelor acumulate. Primele cinci module sunt bazate pe capitolele cuprinse în manualul de studiu, în timp ce al şaselea va fi rezervat recapitularii şi fixării cunoştinţelor acumulate şi pregătirii pentru examenul de limbă premergător examenului de licenţă. Nivelul de însuşire a cunoştinţelor va fi verificat prin intermediul unor teste de autoevaluare pe parcursul modulelor, la sfârşitul fiecărei unităţi de învăţare, precum şi prin intermediul unor teste de evaluare la sfârşitul fiecărui modul. Dacă în cazul testelor de autoevaluare studenţii au la dispoziţie cheia exerciţiilor, testul de la finalul fiecărui modul este corectat de către profesor, pentru a avea o evaluare obiectivă a cunoştinţelor.
