Pacific 231 (Symphonic Movement No
Pacific 231 (Symphonic Movement No. 1) Arthur Honegger (1892–1955) Written: 1923 Movements: One Style: Contemporary Duration: Six minutes As a young man trying to figure his way in the world of music, Miklós Rózsa (a Hollywood film composer) asked the French composer Arthur Honegger “How are we composers expected to make a living?” “Film music,” he said. “What?” I asked incredulously. I was unable to believe that Arthur Honegger, the composer of King David, Judith and other great symphonic frescos, of symphonic poems and chamber music, could write music for films. I was thinking of the musicals I had seen in Germany and of films like The Blue Angel, so I asked him if he meant foxtrots and popular songs. He laughed again. “Nothing like that,” he said, ‘I write serious music.’ As a young man, Honegger was part of a group of renegade composers in Paris grouped around the avant-garde poet Jean Cocteau called “Les Six.” Unlike, the other composers in “Les Six,” Honegger’s music is weightier and less flippant. In the 1920s, Honegger worked on three short orchestral pieces that he called Mouvements symphonique. In his autobiography, I am a Composer, he recounts his intent with the first: To tell the truth, In Pacific I was on the trail of a very abstract and quite ideal concept, by giving the impression of a mathematical acceleration of rhythm, while the movement itself slowed. It was only after he wrote the work that he gave it the title. “A rather romantic idea crossed my mind, and when the work was finished, I wrote the title, Pacific 231, which indicates a locomotive for heavy loads and high speed.” Given a title, people heard things that weren’t there.

Monsters and Mayhem: Physical and Moral Survival in Stephen King’s Universe Jaime L.

Davis All Rights Reserved ABSTRACT Monsters and Mayhem: Physical and Moral Survival in Stephen King’s Universe Jaime L. Davis Department of Humanities, Classics, and Comparative Literature, BYU Master of Arts The goal of my thesis is to analyze physical and moral survival in three novels from King’s oeuvre. Scholars have attributed survival in King’s universe to factors such as innocence, imaginative capacity, and career choice. Although their arguments are convincing, I believe that physical and moral survival ultimately depends on a character’s knowledge of the dark side of human nature and an understanding of moral agency.

A Study of Gian Carlo Menotti's Concerto for Violin and Orchestra
A STUDY OF GIAN CARLO MENOTTI’S CONCERTO FOR VIOLIN AND ORCHESTRA by LAURA ANNE TOMLIN (Under the Direction of Dorothea Link and Levon Ambartsumian) ABSTRACT Gian Carlo Menotti’s Concerto for Violin and Orchestra (1952), although written and premiered in the early 1950s, has been an unduly neglected work due to a number of circumstances, but one that has recently been gaining in popularity. The purpose of this document is to provide a comprehensive guide to the Violin Concerto in the hope that it will help capture the attention of those unaware of its existence and ultimately aide in the concerto’s acceptance into the violinist’s standard repertoire. The Violin Concerto’s historical context is examined in relationship to its compositional style and possible sources of inspiration, and to its neglect in the past and recent surge in popularity in the violin world. A formal and theoretical analysis of Menotti’s concerto, as well as a discussion of its technical challenges from the standpoint of the performer, will provide insight into its composition and interpretative issues. Despite its traditional form, Menotti’s Violin Concerto is an unusual piece in many respects, among which are its intriguing possible biographical components. Composed in 1952 for violinist Efrem Zimbalist, the work, on first hearing, can seem a bit disjointed with elements obviously derived from, or at the very least influenced by, other works. However, on closer examination of the work and of its intended performer, these elements appear to be intentional. For these reasons, in addition to its appeal simply as a composition, Menotti’s Violin Concerto is worthy of further study.

Representations of Domestic Workers in Films La Nana and Dolores Claiborne
Zdenka ŠADL, Nataša PIVEC* REPRESENTATIONS OF DOMESTIC WORKERS IN FILMS LA NANA AND DOLORES CLAIBORNE Abstract. This article examines film representations of domestic workers in the films La Nana (2009) and Dolores Claiborne (1995) through the intersecting perspectives of gender, occupation, citizenship and class. Yet it also emphasises the – otherwise cinemati- cally invisible – multi-dimensional identities of domestic workers via their subjugated storytelling positions. Both women-oriented films use power-relations with other women as the main parameter for their identity-mak- ing process on the basis of class, familial and personal groundings, which also intersect with feminist narra- tives of emotional selves, emancipated from the gender order and embedded in the many possible uses of the word “bitch”. The authors find that the forming of pro- 930 tagonists’ identities and models of behaviour as women does not depend on men, while the scope of power-resist- ant possibilities establishes them as multi-dimensional subjects far removed from society’s one-dimensional views or conservative media/film representations of domestic workers. Keywords: domestic workers, film representation, iden- tity, La Nana, Dolores Claiborne Introduction The emergence around the world of paid domestic work (PDW) raises the question of how the media portrays modern domestic workers. Yet what do films tell us about domestic workers, some of the most vulnerable, invisible and voiceless workers in the world? In this article, the authors dis- cuss the ways in which domestic workers are presented in cinema. More precisely, the article highlights the extent to which domestic workers’ voices and perspectives are heard in two films: La Nana and Dolores Claiborne.
