    INFORMATION TO USERS This reproduction was made from a copy of a document sent to us for microfilming. While the most advanced technology has been used to photograph and reproduce this document, the quality of the reproduction is heavily dependent upon the quality of the material submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help clarify markings or notations which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or “ target” for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is “ Missing Page(s)” . I f it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting througli an image and duplicating adjacent pages to assure complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated w ith a round black mark, it is an indication of either blurred copy because of movement during exposure, duplicate copy, or copyrighted materials that should not have been filmed. For blurred pages, a good image o f the page can be found in the adjacent frame. If copyrighted materials were deleted, a target note will appear listing the pages in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., is part of the material being photographed, a definite method of “sectioning” the material has been followed. It is customary to begin film ing at the upper le ft hand comer o f a large sheet and to continue from left to right in equal sections with small overlaps. I f necessary, sectioning is continued again—beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete.

Blake Library’s catalog, and click on citations to see full articles.) BELLINI’S NORMA featuring CECILIA BARTOLI This tragic opera is set in Roman-occupied, first-century Gaul, features a title character, who although a Druid priestess, is in many ways a modern woman. Norma has secretly taken the Roman proconsul Pollione as her lover and had two children with him. Political and personal crises arise when the locals turn against the occupiers and Pollione turns to a new paramour. Norma “is a role with emotions ranging from haughty and demanding, to desperately passionate, to vengeful and defiant. And the singer must convey all of this while confronting some of the most vocally challenging music ever composed. And if that weren't intimidating enough for any singer, Norma and its composer have become almost synonymous with the specific and notoriously torturous style of opera known as bel canto — literally, ‘beautiful singing’” (“Love Among the Druids: Bellini's Norma,” NPR World of Opera, May 16, 2008). And Bartoli, one of the greatest living opera divas, is up to the challenges the role brings. (New York Public Radio’s WQXR’s “OperaVore” declared that “Bartoli is Fierce and Mercurial in Bellini's Norma,” Marion Lignana Rosenberg, June 09, 2013.) If you’re already a fan of this opera, you’ve no doubt heard a recording spotlighting the great soprano Maria Callas (and we have such a recording, too), but as the notes with the Bartoli recording point out, “The role of Norma was written for Giuditta Pasta, who sang what today’s listeners would consider to be mezzo-soprano roles,” making Bartoli more appropriate than Callas as Norma.

Commissioned by Robert Spring and Jana Starling. A reception will follow in the Cowley Lobby School of Music BrightAngel is inspired by designs by the American architect Mary Jane Colter (b. Pittsburgh, 1869). During her career, which spanned 46 years, Colter was responsible for dozens of projects, and eleven of her buildings are on the National Register of Historic Places. She was known as a feisty perfectionist, and often faced hostility in the "man's world" of architecture. However, her successes transcended gender, and she is considered among the foremost architects of her time. Colter was a pioneer of what is now called the "rustic" style of architecture; her buildings blend into their surroundings and harmonize with their environments. During a period when many architects were copying European design, Colter helped shape a style of architecture that is simple yet elegant, modern yet conscious of the past, and quintessentially American. I learned about Mary Jane Colter while I was researching another project, and felt especially drawn to some of her buildings located in the Grand Canyon: Lookout Tower, Phantom Ranch, Hopi House, Hermit's Rest, and Bright Angel Lodge.

  • Dendrochronology
    Chapter 15 Dendrochronology Dendrochronology is a long-established science which, in recent years, has been used as a tool for dating the spruce front plates of string instruments. Initially this science was viewed with misgivings by the string-world’s style experts since it appeared to offer a level of exactitude which threatened their traditional (and expensive-to-access) skills. During the past twenty years it has been realised that dendrochronology, when it supports style expertise, is a valuable adjunct to the style-expert’s knowledge, powers of observation, and memory. However, when dendrochronology fails to deliver the expected answers and, instead, exposes further uncertainties (and those uncertainties then breed competing camps of supporters who challenge each other’s methodologies and results) the science becomes rather less useful. Today, some ‘high end’ dealers will offer dendrochronological information to underpin the authenticity of a rare and expensive violin; catalogues and books on string instruments are now beginning to publish ‘dendro dates’ alongside their photographs and descriptions;1 it has been suggested that auction houses should provide a dendrochronological report for their choicest instruments. A dendrochronological analysis of the spruce front plate of a violin can never provide results which will identify the name of the maker who built that front plate. As Stewart Pollens has commented: […] one cannot date [the year-specific creation of] a violin using dendrochronology. However, one can rule out makers who
