    CONTEMPORARY ORGAN WORKS BY PUERTO RICAN COMPOSERS BY Copyright @ 2016 ANDRÉS MOJICA-MARTÍNEZ Submitted to the graduate degree program in Music!and the Graduate Faculty of the University of Kansas in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Musical Arts. __________________________ Dr. James Higdon, chairperson __________________________ Dr. Michael Bauer ________________________ Dr. Paul Laird _________________________ Dr. Bradley Osborn ___________________________ Dr. Luciano Tosta Date defended: April 21, 2016 ii The Dissertation Committee for ANDRÉS MOJICA MARTÍNEZ Certifies that this is the approved version of the following dissertation: CONTEMPORARY ORGAN WORKS BY PUERTO RICAN COMPOSERS ___________________________________ Chairperson: Dr. James Higdon Date defended: April 21, 2016 iii Abstract The history of organ music and pipe organs in Puerto Rico dates to Spanish colonial times. Unfortunately, most organ works composed during that period of time did not survive due to fires, hurricanes, the attacks of English and Dutch pirates, and the change of sovereignty in 1898. After the entrance of the United States in 1898, a few organ works were composed and various pipe organs were installed on the island, but no significant developments took place in Puerto Rican organ culture. Recently, with the installation of a three manual Casavant organ at the University of Puerto Rico, Rio Piedras in 2006, and the creation of the position the author occupies as organist and organ professor at the institution, new opportunities for organ music on the island have flourished. This lecture-recital centers on an investigation of the organ works of four Puerto Rican composers of the twentieth and twenty-first century: William Ortiz, Carlos Lamboy, Raymond Torres-Santos and Roberto Milano.

Principles of Tzeltal Educational Philosophy, Chiapas (México) * José VELASCO TORO Fecha de recepción: mayo del 2012 Fecha de aceptación y versión final: septiembre del 2012 RESUMEN : La filosofía educativa de la cultura tzeltal, pueblo indio originario de Chiapas, México, constituye un cimiento fundamental en los procesos de la identi- dad y la autonomía comunitaria. Los principios de su hacer pedagógico poseen parale- lismo con los principios de la biología del conocimiento, sincronía sorprendente que permite conocer cómo ocurren los procesos de autoorganización vinculados con el desarrollo humano y comunitario. PALABRAS CLAVE : autonomía, aprendizaje, libertad, hacer y ser social. ABSTRACT : The educational philosophy of culture Tzeltal, Indian people na- tive from Chiapas, Mexico, is a basic principal in the processes of identity and com- munity autonomy. The values of their teachings have parallels with the principles of the Biology of Knowledge, amazing synchronicity that allows knowing how self-or- ganizing processes occur, related to human and community development. KEYWORDS : autonomy, learning, liberty, to do, and social being. I.

    ESTADO LIBRE ASOCIADO DE PUERTO RICO 19 na. Asamblea 1 ra. Sesión Legislativa Ordinaria SENADO DE PUERTO RICO P. del S. 336 27 de abril de 2021 Presentado por el señor Dalmau Santiago, la señora Gonzalez Huertas y el señor Ruiz Nieves Referido a LEY Para declarar el día 14 de abril de cada año como “El Día del Natalicio de Antonio Paoli”; y para otros fines relacionados. EXPOSICIÓN DE MOTIVOS Don Antonio Paoli fue la primera figura puertorriqueña en adquirir notoriedad internacional en el campo del arte musical. Voz boricua que fue llamado "El Rey de los Tenores" y "El Tenor de los Reyes", fue igualmente el primer talento nacional que conquistó con su arte las cortes europeas. Hijo de doña Amalia Marcano Intriago, oriunda de la Isla Margarita, y del caballero corso don Domingo Paoli Marcatentti, Antonio Paoli nació en Ponce el 14 de abril de 1871. Estudió en la Escuela de Párvulos guiado por el profesor Ramón Marín. Y posteriormente descubrió su afinidad con el canto durante el concierto que el tenor italiano Pietro Baccei presentó en el Teatro La Perla de Ponce. Fueron los padres de Antonio quienes fomentaron en él el amor por el arte. Mas el futuro tenor apenas cumplía los 12 años cuando sus progenitores fallecieron. Ante el hecho, Amalia, hermana mayor de Antonio, decidió trasladarse a España con sus 2 hermanos. Con ese debut tan exitoso comienza Paoli su carrera de triunfos por los mejores escenarios de Europa, Asia, África y América. Con su innegable talento interpretativo, la fama de Antonio Paoli se extendió rápidamente por el continente europeo.

  • VOCAL 78 Rpm Discs Minimum Bid As Indicated Per Item
    VOCAL 78 rpm Discs Minimum bid as indicated per item. Listings “Just about 1-2” should be considered as mint and “Cons. 2” with just slight marks. For collectors searching top copies, you’ve come to the right place! The farther we get from the era of production (in many cases now 100 years or more), the more difficult it is to find such excellent extant pressings. Some are actually from mint dealer stocks and others the result of having improved copies in my own collection via dozens of collections purchased over the past fifty years. * * * For those looking for the best sound via modern reproduction, those items marked “late” are usually of high quality shellac, pressed in the 1950-55 period. A number of items in this particular catalogue are excellent pressings from that era. Also featured are many “Z” shellac Victors, their best quality surface material (produced in the later 1930s) and PW (Pre-War) Victor, almost as good surface material as “Z”. Likewise laminated PW Columbia pressings (1923-1940) offer similarly fine sound. * * * Please keep in mind that the minimum bids are in U.S. Dollars, a benefit to most collectors. These figures do not indicate the “value” of the records but rather the lowest minimum bid I can accept. Some will sell for much more, although bids at any figure from the minimum on up are welcomed and appreciated. To avoid possible tie winning bids (which would otherwise be assigned to the earlier received bid), I’d suggest adding a cents amount to your bid. * * * “Text label on verso.” For a brief period (1912-1914), Victor pressed silver-on-black labels on the reverse sides of some of their single-faced recordings, usually featuring translations of the text or related comments.

    Re-Discovering the Trumpet Music of Roberto Milano: A Study of his Dúo para trompeta y piano, Sinfonietta No. 2 for Flugelhorn and String Orchestra (A Desert Pilgrim), and Idylls of the King for Three Trumpets. BY Copyright © 2015 Nitai Pons-Pérez Submitted to the graduate degree program in Music and the Graduate Faculty of the University of Kansas in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Musical Arts. Chairperson, Paul Laird Steve Leisring Michael Davidson Daniel Gailey William Dentler Date defended: May 5, 2015 The Document Committee for Nitai Pons-Pérez certifies that this is the approved version of the following document: Re-Discovering the Trumpet Music of Roberto Milano: A Study of his Dúo para trompeta y piano, Sinfonietta No. 2 for Flugelhorn and String Orchestra (A Desert Pilgrim), and Idylls of the King for Three Trumpets. Chairperson, Paul Laird Date approved: May 5, 2015 Abstract Roberto L. Milano’s musical output exhibits a diversity of styles and compositional genres. Most of his works are influenced by his passion for early western sacred and secular music. Milano was consistent with the use of modal sonorities and nonfunctional harmonies in combination with structures and melodic elements from the Medieval, Renaissance, and Baroque periods. His music is appealing to audiences and demonstrates how he combines different influences into a cohesive whole. His unpublished works for trumpet are only known by a small group of Puerto Rican musicians. This document illustrates some of the characteristics of Milano’s Dúo para trompeta y piano, Sinfonietta No. 2 for Flugelhorn and String Orchestra, and Idylls of the King for Three Trumpets.
