Nbr 166 1969 May 15 to 28 [Villard De Hounencourt] u.s.postage PAID seattle. washington permit 9566 Si=~ mont hs ago, KRAB began broadcasting "Sunday" a.n original r adio humor program emanating bi-weekly from the closets and dustbins of the Roachdale Radio Network. Sometime in June, the fifteenth program in the series will be broadcast and the Roachdale Principles will pack their wee whistles, their creaking doors and their Miltown off to Grays Harbor for the summer, returning to the Big Town only on days when all the dreadf'ul peace and quiet gets them down. If you like "Sunday", or hate it, or do the ironing to it, or even if you like oysters on the half shell (ugh!), you can win the NO CONTEST. Just tell us that you like it, hate it, don't listen to it, and (if you have room) why. Send it in and you win! Here's your prize: a copy of the scan­ dalous, long-suppressed Sunday Poster.

  • BRIDWELL-BRINER, KATHRYN EILEEN, DMA the Horn In
    BRIDWELL-BRINER, KATHRYN EILEEN, D.M.A. The Horn in America from Colonial Society to 1842: Performers, Instruments, and Repertoire. (2014) Directed by Dr. Randy Kohlenberg. 294 pp. The purpose of this study was to address an aspect of the history of the horn neglected in traditional horn scholarship—that of the horn in America from the development of colonial society (ca. 1700) to the early days of the antebellum era (ca. 1840). This choice of time period avoided the massive influx of foreign musicians and exponential growth of American musical activities after 1840, as well as that of the general population, as this information would become too unwieldy for anything but studies of individual cities, regions, or specific musical groups. This time frame also paralleled the popularity of the horn virtuoso in Europe given so much attention by horn scholars. Additionally, all information gathered through examination of sources has been compiled in tables and included in the appendices with the intention of providing a point of reference for others interested in the horn in early America. This survey includes a brief introduction, review of literature, the ways in which the horn was utilized in early America, the individuals and businesses that made or sold horns and horn-related accoutrements such as music, tutors, crooks, and mouthpieces as well as an examination of the body of repertoire gleaned from performances of hornists in early America.

After a short historical introduction by Dale Shelley, tours will depart the sanctuary in groups of 25. Upon exiting the sanctuary, tour groups will almost immediately be confronted by the open doors of the Leichen Kappelchen, the Corpse House, that stands on the edge of the driveway between the Church and the Brothers’ House. Here each tour group will hear that the building is evidence of a former custom, a special place to house the remains of the dead of the congregation from the time of death until burial. Photo by A.R. Beck Leaving the Corpse House, the tour guests will proceed to God’s Lititz Springs Lion’s Head Acre while the Trombone Choir plays chorales for the deceased.

  • The Church Square Journal
    THE CHURCH SQUARE JOURNAL Published Spring and Fall by the Archives Committee of the Lititz Moravian Congregation Volume 24 Church Square, Lititz, Pennsylvania Fall 2018 ROME: A Forgotten Area in Lititz and Warwick Township Historically there is much information on how Richard Carter came to name Warwick Township in 1732 after his beloved homeland of Warwickshire, England. Also in that year Carter Run, now known as Lititz Run, was named after Carter. However, little is known of Rome, the area east of the town of Lititz and west of the town of Rothsville. There are no known records as to how this area became known as Rome , nor is there any known map outlining the parameters of the area of Rome. Possibly early European settlers would have given this name to the area. Another possibility is that Richard Carter may have given t he name , as he had to Warwick. These early arrivals were surely aware of the 3,000 - year - old Italian capital. In 1746 a small group of Moravian brothers and sisters formed a congregation with their own Gemeinhaus. The log building was a combination school, parsonage , and meeting house built on the south bank of what is now Lititz Run. The exact location of the original building has not been determined; however, it was located between today ’ s Locust and Oak Streets on the eastern end of Lititz. This Gemeinha us would have been located in the area known as Rome. The Warwick Gemeinhaus and School remained in operation for nineteen years with a total enrollment of 77 children.

    1 Moravian Theological Seminary Church History Department A Basic Bibliography in Moravian Studies This bibliography began as a short list of books which could be commended to scholars starting their study of the Moravian tradition. As such, it listed only books published in English. It was later expanded to provide a basic bibliography for students taking the Moravian history courses at Moravian Theological Seminary. It appears here further expanded to include monographs and some unpublished works, important works in languages other than English, and links to web sites useful for those studying Moravian topics. Scholars should also be aware of the journal Unitas Fratrum: Zeitschrift für Geschichte und Gegenwartsfragen der Brüdergemeine, which publishes an annual “bibliographical overview of recent publications about the Moravian Church.” BASIC INTRODUCTIONS TO THE MORAVIAN TRADITION Couch, M.

He taught in the Moravian school at Niesky and came to America in 1795. His official church position was as a worker with the young men of the congregations in Nazareth and Bethlehem, but his contributions to the musical life of the settlements were great. He revitalized the Bethlehem Collegium musicum and conducted the performance of Haydn’s Creation which may have been its American premiere. He is well known as a composer of wind ensembles, especially his fourteen Parthien and the two “Water Music” suites written for excursions on the Lehigh River. His other works include anthems for four-part choir, soprano solos, soprano duets, and an 11-movement setting of Psalm 103, all accompanied by chamber orchestra. He returned to Germany in 1815 and died in Neuwied, Germany, on February 26, 1827. The Parthia in Eb Major was edited from manuscript parts in the Lititz Collegium Musicum collection (parts copied by Johann Christian Bechler) and the Salem Collegium Musicum collection.
