Dear Friends in the Lord, “The Society of Jesus has always sought to know and to follow God’s will for us. We do so from the heart of the Church, but gazing upon the world that has been groaning in labour pains until now” (GC36 D. 1, n.1). General Congregation 36 invited us to a contemplation of the world. The Congregation calls on us to stop and ask ourselves, “What does the world in which we live and serve look like today?” On the one hand, we live and minister in a vibrant world, a world bustling with youthful energy and vigour. A world in which we see the beauty of God’s creation. On the other hand, we live and serve in a broken world. We live with and minister to people who are hu- miliated, struck by violence, excluded from the common good, and left to pick up the broken pieces of their lives on the margins. It is a world of contradiction. Can we always find God in all things…? In his address to members of GC36 on 24 October 2016, Pope Francis reminded us that the Society of Jesus is an international and multicultural body in a fragmented and divided world.

Coker ABSTRACT Modesta Bor (1926-98) was one of the outstanding Venezuelan composers, conductors, music educators and musicologists of the twentieth century. She wrote music for orchestra, chamber music, piano solo, piano and voice, and incidental music. She also wrote more than 95 choral works for mixed voices and 130 for equal-voice choir. Her style is a mixture of Venezuelan nationalism and folklore with European traits she learned in her studies in Russia. Chapter One contains a historical background of the evolution of Venezuelan art music since the colonial period, beginning in 1770. Knowing the state of art music in Venezuela helps one to understand the unusual nature of the Venezuelan choral movement that developed in the first half of the twentieth century.

  • Sound and Place at Central Public Squares in Belo Horizonte (Brazil)
    Invisible Places 18–20JULY 2014, VISEU, PORTUGAL Polyphony of the squares: Sound and Place at Central Public Squares in Belo Horizonte (Brazil) Luiz Henrique Assis Garcia [email protected] Professor at Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais, Belo Horizonte, Brazil Pedro Silva Marra [email protected] Phd candidate at Universidade Federal Fluminense,Belo Horizonte, Brazil Abstract This article aims to understand and compare the use of sounds and music as a tool to disput- ing, sharing and lotting space in two squares in Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais, Brazil. In order to do so, citizens manipulate sounds and their parameters, such as intensity, frequency and spatiality. We refer to research data collected by Nucleurb/CCNM-UFMG constituted by a set of methodological procedures that involve field observation, sound recording, photo- graphs, field notesand research on archives, gathering and cross analyzing texts, pictures and sounds, in order to grasp the dynamics of conformation of “place” within the urban space. Keywords: Sonorities, Squares, Urban Space provisional version 1. Introduction A street crier screams constantly, as pedestrians pass by him, advertising a cellphone chip store’s services. During his intervals, another street crier asks whether people want to cut their hair or not. On the background, a succession of popular songs are played on a Record store, and groups of friends sitting on benches talk. An informal math teacher tries to sell a DVD in which he teaches how to solve fastly square root problems. The other side of the square, beyond the crossing of two busy avenues, Peruvian musicians prepare their con- cert, connecting microfones and speakers through cables, as street artists finish their circus presentation.

  • ABSTRACT Title of Dissertation: PRISMS and POLYPHONY
    ABSTRACT Title of Dissertation: PRISMS AND POLYPHONY: THE LIVED EXPERIENCES OF HIGH SCHOOL BAND STUDENTS AND THEIR DIRECTOR AS THEY PREPARE FOR AN ADJUDICATED PERFORMANCE Stephen W. Miles Doctor of Philosophy, 2012 Dissertation directed by: Professor Francine Hultgren Department of Teaching and Learning, Policy and Leadership College of Education University of Maryland This hermeneutic phenomenological inquiry is called by the question: What are the lived experiences of high school band students and their director as they prepare for an adjudicated performance? While there are many lenses through which the phenomenon of music preparation and music making has been explored, a relatively untapped aspect of this phenomenon is the experience as lived by the students themselves. The experiences and behaviors of the band director are so inexorably intertwined with the student experience that this essential contextual element is also explored as a means to understand the phenomenon more fully. Two metaphorical constructs – one visual, one musical – provide a framework upon which this exploration is built. As a prism refracts a single color of light into a wide spectrum of hues, views from within illumine a variety of unique perspectives and uncover both divergent and convergent aspects of this experience. Polyphony (multiple contrasting voices working independently, yet harmoniously, toward a unified musical product) enables understandings of the multiplicity of experiences inherent in ensemble performance. Conversations with student participants and their director, notes from my observations, and journal offerings provide the text for phenomenological reflection and interpretation. The methodology underpinning this human science inquiry is identified by Max van Manen (2003) as one that “involves description, interpretation, and self-reflective or critical analysis” (p.

  • St. Stanislaus Kostka
    SAINT STANISLAUS KOSTKA 1550-1568 Saint Stanislaus Kostka, at the age of seventeen, was so gravely ill that he seemed very near the end of his life. In that time, he lived as the guest of a noble Protestant who would not even permit him to be visited by a Catholic priest. Stanislaus was not discouraged and one night, in the presence of his tutor, he received Communion in a miraculous way. A few days later he recovered and decided to enter the Jesuit order.
