Theories and Methods of Choral Research and 3. Psychological and Social Dimensions of Choral Singing Keynote speakers: Prof. Andreas C.

Jamaica’s social and philosophical music belong mainly to that tradition, which includes the use of rhythms, timbral, and melodic resources that exist independently of harmony. Already in this century, Jamaicans have created two totally new music - nyabinghi, which performs a philosophical function and reggae, which performs a social function.

  • BBC Executive Priorities and Summary Workplan for 2011/12 Statement from the Senior Independent Director
    BBC Executive priorities and summary workplan for 2011/12 Statement from the Senior Independent Director This workplan for the BBC is the first edition of a new annual publication. It summarises the BBC's strategy, objectives and outline budget for the year ahead together with noteworthy individual events. The publication of this workplan is part of the BBC's commitment to openness and transparency, both to the BBC Trust and to licence fee payers. The document is also an important part of the way that I, as the BBC's Senior Independent Director, acting together with my fellow non-executive directors on the BBC's Executive Board, will ensure that the BBC meets its strategy and fulfils its obligations to the satisfaction of the BBC Trust and licence fee payers. This document is not a blueprint for the year ahead. Plans must and no doubt will change in certain areas to accommodate events. The BBC has, however, a clear strategy in Putting Quality First and, with the licence fee settlement of October 2010, a clear budgetary framework to work within. Whenever our plans change they must, on balance, remain focussed on delivering against our strategy and within our budget. It is intended that the annual workplan will assist this reconciliation of our regular affairs with our long-term strategy and budget. The non-executive members of the BBC Executive Board look forward to working with the Director-General to deliver the contents of this workplan and I commend it to the BBC Trust.

    Cover Art Lukas Foss A MESSAGE FROM THE MILKEN ARCHIVE FOUNDER Dispersed over the centuries to all corners of the earth, the Jewish people absorbed elements of its host cultures while, miraculously, maintaining its own. As many Jews reconnected in America, escaping persecution and seeking to take part in a visionary democratic society, their experiences found voice in their music. The sacred and secular body of work that has developed over the three centuries since Jews fi rst arrived on these shores provides a powerful means of expressing the multilayered saga of American Jewry. While much of this music had become a vital force in American and world culture, even more music of specifi cally Jewish content had been created, perhaps performed, and then lost to current and future generations. Believing that there was a unique opportunity to rediscover, preserve and transmit the collective memory contained within this music, I founded the Milken Archive of American Jewish Music in 1990. The passionate collaboration of many distinguished artists, ensembles and recording producers over the past fourteen years has created a vast repository of musical resources to educate, entertain and inspire people of all faiths and cultures. The Milken Archive of American Jewish Music is a living project; one that we hope will cultivate and nourish musicians and enthusiasts of this richly varied musical repertoire. Lowell Milken A MESSAGE FROM THE ARTISTIC DIRECTOR The quality, quantity, and amazing diversity of sacred as well as secular music written for or inspired by Jewish life in America is one of the least acknowledged achievements of modern Western culture.
