ERILAZ a Ritual for Baritone, Violoncello and Percussion
Jeffrey Holmes ERILAZ a ritual for baritone, violoncello and percussion Score 2018 ce-jh1e1-dl-s JEFFREY HOLMES :ERILAZ: eRilay:ayt:alu A Ritual... for Baritone, Violoncello, and Percussion Text from the Lindholm amulet (DR 261, Rundata) ca. 3rd century, Skåne Full Score ii iii PERFORMANCE NOTES General 1. All tempi are approximate, but the relationships between tempi should be proportionally exact. 2. All accidentals apply through the measure and within one octave, and many cautionary accidentals are provided. 3. The following microtonal accidentals are used: B Quarter tone flat µ Quarter tone sharp J 1/6 tone lower than flat j 1/6 tone higher than flat K 1/6 tone lower than natural k 1/6 tone higher than natural L 1/6 tone lower than sharp l 1/6 tone higher than sharp 4. Pitches based on the harmonic series are labeled above the staff by their hypothetical fundamental and partial number. For example, G(7) indicates the seventh partial in the overtone series of G. (The fundamental is partial number 1.) These precise tunings are notationally approximated to the nearest quarter or sixth tone. Performers may either produce the notated quarter or sixth tone or, if accustomed to performing in just intonation, may produce the exact pitches of the indicated partials. Baritone In addition to singing, the baritone is asked to perform on three instruments: an Uruz horn (a primitive cowhorn) tuned to Eb, a lyre (or psaltery), and a drum, preferably a very large skinned tom-tom. Notation is as follows: iv Violoncello 1. The abbreviation s.t. -

Germanic: the Runes Germánico: Las Runas
palaeoeuropean languages & epigraphies | Rest of Europe PALAEOHISPANICA 2020 | I.S.S.N. 1578-5386 revista sobre lenguas y culturas de la Hispania antigua DOI: 10.36707/palaeohispanica.v0i20.371 Germanic: the Runes Germánico: las runas Tineke Looijenga University of Groningen [email protected] Abstract: This paper offers a survey of the oldest runic inscriptions of the northern parts of Europe. Runic writing is attested from the second century onwards to the Middle Ages, and was in use in several parts of northern Europe during different periods. The language used is formulaic, making the impression that inscriptions in runes were for special occasions and not for daily use. Germanic society was a non-literate society until Christendom arrived and with it a literate culture. Runes are applied epigraphically; only in ecclesiastical contexts they are used in manuscripts, thus offering very useful secondary information about rune-names, for instance. Runes had names for mnemonical and symbolical purposes. Keywords: Fuþark. Alphabet. Germanic. Scandinavia. Runes. Runic texts. Resumen: Esta contribución ofrece una aproximación a las más antiguas inscripciones rúnicas de las partes septentrionales de Europa. La escritura rúnica se atestigua desde el siglo II d. E. hasta la Edad Media y fue empleada en distintas partes de Europa durante diferentes periodos. El lenguaje empleado es formular, lo que da la impresión de que las inscripciones rúnicas fueron para ocasiones especiales y no para un uso diario. La sociedad germánica permaneció ágrafa hasta la llegada del cristianismo y con él una cultura escrita. Las runas se usaron epigráficamente; solamente en contextos eclesiásticos las runas fueron usadas en manuscritos, lo que ofrece una muy útil información secundaria, por ejemplo, sobre los nombres rúnicos. -

Runic Inscriptions from the First Period Taken from W
Runic inscriptions from the first period taken from W. Krause, “Die Sprache der urnordischen Runeninschriften” and/or E. Moltke, “Runes and their Origin, Denmark and elsewhere” E. H. Antonsen, “A Concise Grammar of the Older Runic Inscriptions” E. A. Makaev, “The Language of the Oldest Runic Inscriptions” Transcription conventions: The inscriptions given here are not in runes. I have used the letter equivalent for each rune with the following transcription conventions. R represents the rune Algiz which was pronounced as ‘z’ during the ancient Germanic period, and then gradually became pronounced as ‘r’. We can’t be certain, but the sound change likely occurred around the 5th century. This symbol, R, means therefore that it should be pronounced as ‘z’ if one wants to use the pronunciation of ancient Germanic times, and ‘r’ if one wants instead to place it in the times of the Viking civilization. The ‘i’ of Ihwaz is represented by ï, while the ‘i’ of Isaz is written i; the ‘ng’ of Ingwaz is written h; and the ‘th’ of Thurisaz is written þ (thorn). The other runes are represented with their classic equivalents, for example, the letter f represents Fehu, etc. An X in the inscription means that the corresponding rune is illegible, and a question mark means that the letters are barely legible. /// means that a certain number of runes have been scratched. When runes are between ( ), then they didn’t occur in the original, when they are between [ ], it is that they are hardly legible. An approximate date is indicated in parentheses, except for the bracteates that are seldom dated. -
Towards an Odian Philosophical Framework
Looking For Mr Wednesday: Towards An Odian Philosophical Framework Christopher Jon Sharp Submitted for the degree of Ph.D. University of East Anglia September 2013 This copy of the thesis has been supplied on condition that anyone who consults it is understood to recognise that its copyright rests with the author and that use of any information derived there from must be in accordance with current UK Copyright Law. In addition, any quotation or extract must include full attribution. Looking For Mr Wednesday: Towards An Odian Philosophical Framework Abstract Christopher Jon Sharp The thesis explores the theory and praxis of Odianism in order to articulate the fundamentals of a possible philosophical framework underpinning the Odian paradigm of reality. It is argued that Odian magical praxis needs to be understood as a discrete category of experience offering a specific understanding of and a particular route to self- becoming. Magic is a problematic category to define and shares fuzzy boundaries with a number of other concepts related to non-ordinary states of consciousness. The thesis seeks initially to clarify the specific nature of magic and to contextualise Odianism within the broader Western Mystery Tradition. The main body of the thesis considers the philosophical framework proposed by contemporary Odianism. This narrowing of focus is inevitably limiting, but necessary to allow a sufficiently detailed examination of a particular approach to magical praxis. The thesis explores Odian epistemological, ontological and ethical positions. Odian magical praxis is examined in the context of those philosophical perspectives. Particular attention is paid to the concept of Odian self-development or Self-becoming. -
The Old Norse Semantic Contributions to the English Word Stock – a Study Based Upon Proto-Germanic
International Journal of Linguistics, Literature and Culture (Linqua- LLC) December 2015 edition Vol.2 No.4 ISSN 2410-6577 THE OLD NORSE SEMANTIC CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE ENGLISH WORD STOCK – A STUDY BASED UPON PROTO-GERMANIC Katarzyna Monticolo, MA University of Wrocław, Poland Abstract The following paper constitutes an investigation devoted to one of the groups of English vocabulary resulting from the contact with the Old Norse tongue – the one comprising those English lexemes which consist of the Anglo-Saxon form and the Scandinavian denotation attached. Despite being tiny, this particular group of Norse lexical contributions to the English language highlights the unusual character and extremely rare outcomes resulting from the interaction between the two tongues in question. These, however, would not have been possible, had it not been for their common ancestor – Proto-Germanic. Therefore, this hypothesized parent language shall constitute the basis of the following lexical-semantic investigation, which in turn is hoped to offer a deeper insight into some of the Norse modifications of the English vocabulary, as well as to aid the revelation of surprisingly alluring histories hidden behind seemingly ordinary lexemes. Keywords: Old Norse, Old English, Proto-Germanic, semantic change Introduction:20 The Viking invasions of England and the resulting seizure of a substantial area of Anglo-Saxon territory by the Norse invaders, followed by their subsequent settlement thereupon and culminating with the reign of Cnut the Great, created conditions enabling the interaction between the languages of the two peoples involved. However, the racial and linguistic kinship of the Anglo-Saxons and the Norsemen, originating in their common Proto- Germanic past, substantially facilitated the communication between them and, what is most important, the final outcomes it yielded. -
Early Runic Inscriptions in England
VI. BRACTEATES WITH RUNES 1. Introduction. Contrary to my practice of runic investigations, I have not personally checked all bracteates that have been included here. Instead, and as a supplement to my own inspections, I used the meticulous drawings of the Ikonographischer Katalog, furtheron abbreviated IK. This monumental work, also known as Die Goldbrakteaten der Völkerwanderungszeit, edited by Morten Axboe et alii (1984-1989) has proved to be a good source for investigations of the bracteate corpus. According to Düwel (1992a :32), 907 bracteates are known (in 1988), representing 566 dies. The earliest find was in the 17th century. The bracteates were first methodically studied in 1855, by Thomsen. Mackeprang (1952:25ff.) produced a typology of bracteates, based on Montelius’ initial division and Salin's system of cataloguing according to the ornamentation in the so-called Germanic animal styles, dividing them into A, B, C, D, F-types (see for more references and elaborate information Birkmann 1995). Recent research of the material has yielded a revised sequence of the several types, adding the M(edaillon) type and otherwise maintaining the A, B, C, D and F sequence. 1). M-type: medaillon-imitations; 2). A-type: man's head en profile; 3). B-type: man's figure, often together with animals; 4). C-type: man's head above horselike animal, often together with birds and other animals; 5). D-type and F-type: no human beings, but animals in the so-called ‘Germanic animal style I'. The C- and D- bracteates dominate the material. Runes are found on A-, B-, C-, and F-types, and on one M-type. -
