Vanya Bellinger wrote a biography of this man’s wife and intellectual partner, who was lady-in-waiting to the dowager queen Frederika Louisa and later edited and published this man’s unfinished magnum opus. Michael Howard and Peter Paret created the canonical translation of this person’s most famous work. This husband of Marie von Brühl illustrated a theory with an analogy to an object suspended between three magnets, which represent his “paradoxical trinity.” In his major work, this theorist wrote that the real version of the title activity was distinguished from the title activity “on paper” by a concept called friction. This man was chief of staff to Gneisenau [ g’NAIS-uh-now] when he died and had earlier served as personal assistant to Gerhard von Scharnhorst. This thinker argued that his major subject was “a continuation of politics by other means.” For 10 points, name this Prussian military theorist who wrote “On War.” ANSWER: Carl (Philipp Gottlieb) von C lausewitz <European History> 2. A paper by Susan Kieffer et al. proposes that this object is home to a “snowfield” of sulfur, which may explain why a patera [ PAT-err-uh] on it may have wandered 100 kilometers west in the last twenty years. A landmark paper by Peale, Cassen, and Reynolds proposed that this object has a largely molten interior and that the dissipation of tidal energy is responsible for depleting much of its solid mass. Neutral ejecta from this object is ionized, creating a plasma torus that completely surrounds the atmosphere of this object’s parent body. Eclipses of this object were used to provide the first measurement of the speed of light, which was recorded in the seventeenth century by the physicist Ole Rømer [ OH-luh ROY-muh]. This densest-known natural satellite in the solar system features over 410 volcanoes. The extreme heat of this moon partly results from its being in resonant orbit with Ganymede and Europa. For 10 points, name this innermost of the Galilean moons of Jupiter. ANSWER: I o <Other Science> 3. The first-ever New Yorker “Profile” that was not of a person was an abridgement of a book by this author, which describes a “steady, unremitting, downward drift, flake upon flake, layer upon layer,” in its chapter “The Long Snowfall.” The book A lways, [this author] comprises the hundreds of passionate love letters she sent to her neighbor Dorothy Freeman. A lawsuit partly filed by Benjamin Spock’s sister, Marjorie, inspired a book by this author, which begins with an allegory about a “town in the heart of America where all life seemed to live in harmony with its surroundings.” This alumna of the Woods Hole Marine Biological Laboratory included the chapter “The Birth of an Island” in the middle entry of a trilogy about the sea, titled The Sea around Us . This author’s best-known book attributes the thinning of the shells of the eggs laid by birds to bioaccumulation. For 10 points, name this author who railed against the use of DDT in her book Silent Spring . ANSWER: Rachel (Louise) C arson [the N ew Yorker profile was of “The Sea”] <Other Academic> 4. This novel’s protagonist claims that her idea of hell is “a large party in a cold room where everybody has to play hockey properly,” and her education is said to have been “expensive, athletic, and prolonged.” At a screening of the Norwegian-Japanese film “Yĕs,” this novel’s protagonist is relieved to meet the “properly and conventionally dressed” American movie producer Earl Neck, who turns her cousin into the star of “Small-Town Sheik.” Especially turgid passages of this novel are preceded by Baedeker ratings of their prose, and it frequently mentions the “sukebind.” Near the climax of this novel, Neck retorts, “Did it see you?” while dragging the aggressively smoldering Seth away from a wedding. This novel’s protagonist is forced to stay with her relatives near Howling, where she efficiently solves the problems of the Starkadders and confronts a tyrannical matriarch who “saw something nasty in the woodshed.” For 10 points, name this comic novel by Stella Gibbons in which Flora Poste moves to the title rural property. ANSWER: C old Comfort Farm <British Literature> https://docs.google.com/document/d/1bIU7i7Cr8N-3pMdSE8rXG73Fc05UyEIyaLtG79AkPZI/edit 2/13 4/18/2019 Editors 8 - Google Docs ACF Nationals 2019 | Packet: Editors 8 |Page 3 5. One of this man’s photographs highlights the winding, S-shaped path followed by an open gutter. This artist examined “the gigantic photograph constituted by In Search of Lost Time” in his book P roust in the Power of Photography , which is illustrated with some of his photographs of operagoers and balletgoers. More of those high society photographs appear in this artist’s book titled for a “secret” city “of the thirties,” alongside a photograph of a woman nicknamed “Bijou” interlacing her heavily jeweled fingers. He captured the reflections of an embracing couple in mirrors to their back and side in his photograph Lovers in a Small Café, near the Place d’Italie . This man, whom Henry Miller nicknamed “the eye of Paris,” compiled many photographs of the city’s brothels in his best-known series. For 10 points, name this author of the photobook P aris by Night , a Hungarian-born photographer who went by a single name. ANSWER: B rassaï [or Gyula H alász ; or Jules Halasz ] <Other Fine Arts> 6. A theory of coupling between these devices was developed by Allan Snyder, who co-authored a classic textbook on them with J. D. Love. The double crucible method of creating these devices is generally only used with softer materials. More commonly, these devices are created in draw towers by vertically feeding a preform into a furnace and allowing gravity to stretch out the molten material. These devices can be turned into amplifiers by doping them with erbium. Multimode devices of this type allow a higher data throughput at the expense of a reduction in signal quality over long distances. These devices use total internal reflection to prevent signal from leaking out of their core into their cladding, enabling transmission over long distances. For 10 points, name these devices which undergird modern telecommunications and consist of very long, thin, flexible pieces of glass. ANSWER: o ptical fibers [or fiber optics or optical waveguides; prompt on partial answer] <Physics> 7. The first movement of Schumann’s Faschingsschwank aus Wien f or solo piano quotes this song, setting it in a jaunty dotted quarter-eighth-quarter triple meter instead of its usual duple meter. After a sudden modulation from G minor to G major, Schumann quotes this song in his setting of the poem “The Two Grenadiers.” Debussy very briefly quoted this song over a hushed left-hand tremolo in the “Fireworks” movement of his P reludes, Book II . Debussy later quoted this song blended with “A Mighty Fortress Is Our God” in his En Blanc et Noir and wrote to his publisher to say, “The very pavements and the trees of the forest are vibrating to” this song. Because this song was banned for decades in Austria-Hungary, Beethoven avoided using it alongside “Rule Britannia” in the piece W ellington’s Victory . Descending scale runs represent a military retreat in a piece that uses this song alongside “U vorot” and “God Save the Tsar.” For 10 points, name this song that Tchaikovsky’s 1812 Overture used to represent France. ANSWER: “La Marseillaise ” [ MAR-say-ez] [prompt on the “F rench national anthem” before “France”] <Classical Music> 8. A person with this profession thinks, “You will never be done with it. It’ll be done with you first” at the end of a story by Zadie Smith. A character referred to by this profession can “cure” a problem “every man in the ghetto born with” in a novel that opens with the line: “ Listen. Dead people never stop talking.” Dead politician Sir Arthur George Jennings partly narrates a novel in which a man referred to by this name is shot in front of Nina in Copenhagen City. The narrator asks for “a carton of Picayunes, and a NEW YORK POST with her face on it” in a poem inspired by the death of a person with this profession; that poem opens at “12:20 in New York a Friday” and ends: “and everyone and I stopped breathing.” Josey Wales shoots a person with this profession in Marlon James’s A Brief History of Seven Killings . For 10 points, name this profession held by the dedicatee of Frank O’Hara’s “The Day Lady Died,” Billie Holiday. ANSWER: s inger [accept “the Singer ”; accept v ocalist ; or singer-s ongwriter; or jazz singer; or reggae singer; accept musician ; prompt on p erformer ] (the leadin is Zadie Smith’s “Crazy They Call Me,” told from the perspective of Billie Holiday) <World Literature> https://docs.google.com/document/d/1bIU7i7Cr8N-3pMdSE8rXG73Fc05UyEIyaLtG79AkPZI/edit 3/13 4/18/2019 Editors 8 - Google Docs ACF Nationals 2019 | Packet: Editors 8 |Page 4 9.

  • Dionysiac and Pyrrhic Roots and Survivals in the Zeybek Dance, Music, Costume and Rituals of Aegean Turkey
    GEPHYRA 14, 2017, 213-239 Dionysiac and Pyrrhic Roots and Survivals in the Zeybek Dance, Music, Costume and Rituals of Aegean Turkey Recep MERİÇ In Memory of my Teacher in Epigraphy and the History of Asia Minor Reinhold Merkelbach Zeybek is a particular name in Aegean Turkey for both a type of dance music and a group of com- panions performing it wearing a particular decorative costume and with a typical headdress (Fig. 1). The term Zeybek also designates a man who is brave, a tough and courageous man. Zeybeks are gen- erally considered to be irregular military gangs or bands with a hierarchic order. A Zeybek band has a leader called efe; the inexperienced young men were called kızans. The term efe is presumably the survivor of the Greek word ephebos. Usually Zeybek is preceded by a word which points to a special type of this dance or the place, where it is performed, e.g. Aydın Zeybeği, Abdal Zeybeği. Both the appellation and the dance itself are also known in Greece, where they were called Zeibekiko and Abdaliko. They were brought to Athens after 1922 by Anatolian Greek refugees1. Below I would like to explain and attempt to show, whether the Zeybek dances in the Aegean provinces of western Turkey have any possible links with Dionysiac and Pyrrhic dances, which were very popular in ancient Anatolia2. Social status and origin of Zeybek Recently E. Uyanık3 and A. Özçelik defined Zeybeks in a quite appropriate way: “The banditry activ- ities of Zeybeks did not have any certain political aim, any systematic ideology or any organized re- ligious sect beliefs.

  • Sachs, Curt: World History of the Dance
    EUROPE SINCE ANTIQUITY Sachs, Curt: World history of the dance. New York, Norton, p. 237-245 7. Europe Since Antiquity THE CLASSICAL PERIOD Greece The scattered elements which must be gathered from all places and periods and laboriously formed into a coherent picture are found united in European antiquity in one magnificent organism. The dance customs of remote ancestors, commonly relegated by mature cultures to a dark hinterland, are here preserved in pristine strength with the same love and protective zeal as among primitive peoples, and all those which later millenniums have begotten and brought forth flourish freely side by side with them. The progression of dance forms has crystallized into a coexistence. We find the same people circling round the sacred objects in meditation as did their earliest ancestors, imitating the ways and actions of animals, losing themselves and be coming possessed in the mask, and obtaining the power of spirits and the attributes of gods through the frenzied ecstasy of the dance. The same people re-experience in dream transports the fate of their ancestors and expand it into popular drama, into world drama—with the recogni tion of its relation to society in the round dance and with the stamp of individualism in the solo dance, with meek submission and with genial wisdom, solemn and grotesque, in earnest and in jest, in a boundless survey of everything human and superhuman. The choral dance takes first place. Homer’s accounts of the heroic age describe the merry choral dance of the young men, alone or together with the maidens, at marriages, at vintage, or simply to give vent to their youthful exuberance—choreia, the Greeks ​ ​ think, must come from chara, “joy.” ​ ​ “Also did the glorious lame god devise a dancing-place like unto that which once in wide Knossos Daidalos wrought for Ariadne of the lovely tresses.

  • The Singer in the Ecclesiastical Hierarchy
    The Singer in the Ecclesiastical Hierarchy The Early History of the Order Kaija Ravolainen STUDIA MUSICA 59 2014 © Kaija Ravolainen 2014 Doctoral dissertation University of the Arts Helsinki Sibelius Academy DocMus Doctoral School Studia Musica 59 Juvenes Print – Suomen Yliopistopaino Oy Tampere 2014 ISBN 978-952-5959-77-2 ISSN 0788-3757 Abstract The present study examines the origin and the early phases of the ecclesiastical order of the singer, nowadays generally called cantor. The constitutive regulations concerning the order derive from the late fourth century in the canons of the Synod of Laodicea and the Apostolic Constitutions. The order of the singer was established in eastern Christendom, while in the West, it never was added to the ranks of the ecclesiastical hierarchy. There, the members of other ecclesiastical grades answered for the psalmody, although allusions to singers occasionally appear. The study period extends to the seventh century CE. The development of both ecclesiastical singing and the hierarchy is treated from the beginning of the history of the Church. This is necessary for identifying the standing and the role of the singer, whose order emerges rather late in comparison with other ecclesiastical orders. One of the earlier orders belongs to the reader, who is considered to have preceded the singer, but also to have been one, as all reading was performed in recitation. The study also aims to define why a separate order of the singer was needed, if the reader was able to execute these duties as well. The materials include both normative – the canons of ecclesiastical councils and synods, and church orders – and descriptive sources, the latter consisting primarily of the texts of the patristic authors.

  • HYPOTHESES on the CHOREOGRAPHIC ROOTS of the MUSICAL METER a Case Study on Afro-Brazilian Dance and Music
    ACTAS DEL X ENCUENTRO DE CIENCIAS COGNITIVAS DE LA MÚSICA HYPOTHESES ON THE CHOREOGRAPHIC ROOTS OF THE MUSICAL METER A case study on Afro-Brazilian dance and music LUIZ NAVEDA AND MARC LEMAN GHENT UNIVERSITY Abstract A great part of the musical engagement is dependent on the human capacity to perceive and produce of temporal regularities in music. In Western music theory, these regularities are related to the concept of musical meter. A brief overview of the theories of musical meter reveals that a number of approaches are built upon abstract concepts of musical structure, axiomatic rules of preference or hypothetical models. In this paper, we argue that dance provides reliable explanations for a number of mechanisms behind the emergence of meter. We demonstrate our hypothesis by means of a case study on the analysis of dance and music recordings of Afro- Brazilian samba. The movement and audio data was processed by using TGA analysis (topological gesture analysis). The results show that the structure of musical meter is not only more elaborated in the dance gestures but also provides richer elements to support the concept of meter in music. We demonstrate that the structure of meter is readily available in the choreographic forms and delineated by biomechanical constraints of the dancer's body. We suggest that the structure of musical meter might have been formed as an entangled musical-choreographic form and was further fragmented in a disembodied view of musical knowledge. Resumen Gran parte del trabajo musical depende de la capacidad humana para percibir y producir regularidades temporales en la música.
