  • Music and the American Civil War
    “LIBERTY’S GREAT AUXILIARY”: MUSIC AND THE AMERICAN CIVIL WAR by CHRISTIAN MCWHIRTER A DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of History in the Graduate School of The University of Alabama TUSCALOOSA, ALABAMA 2009 Copyright Christian McWhirter 2009 ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ABSTRACT Music was almost omnipresent during the American Civil War. Soldiers, civilians, and slaves listened to and performed popular songs almost constantly. The heightened political and emotional climate of the war created a need for Americans to express themselves in a variety of ways, and music was one of the best. It did not require a high level of literacy and it could be performed in groups to ensure that the ideas embedded in each song immediately reached a large audience. Previous studies of Civil War music have focused on the music itself. Historians and musicologists have examined the types of songs published during the war and considered how they reflected the popular mood of northerners and southerners. This study utilizes the letters, diaries, memoirs, and newspapers of the 1860s to delve deeper and determine what roles music played in Civil War America. This study begins by examining the explosion of professional and amateur music that accompanied the onset of the Civil War. Of the songs produced by this explosion, the most popular and resonant were those that addressed the political causes of the war and were adopted as the rallying cries of northerners and southerners. All classes of Americans used songs in a variety of ways, and this study specifically examines the role of music on the home-front, in the armies, and among African Americans.

  • Griswold Family
    1 A Short Introduction to the Griswold Family The Griswold family first appears in Warwickshire, England in the 13th century. The name was spelled various ways. Most early Griswolds spelled their name Greswolde. Since spelling was casual at that time, some forms ran rather far afield, most notably Grissel. So common is this one that when I come across it doing genealogical work, I automatically click in on a Griswold and search farther. So far it’s paid off 100% of the time. How could you get such aberrant spellings? My hunch is that we pronounce all the letters clearly, but that the English did not. English history is full of surnames pronounced totally differently from the way they look. I’ve often wondered if these mangled pronunciations were some sort of secret password that let those around you know that you were a bona fide member of the appropriate social group, much as today people name drop by only using first names and expect you to know exactly whom they are talking about. Thus we have names like Chalmondeley pronounced “Chumley”, Beauchamp pronounced “Beecham”, and Bohun pronounced “Boone”. Why not, then might the original pronunciation of Greswolde been “Gresold” or “Grissel”? The origin of the Griswold or Greswolde name is given in several ways. The family name appeared at a time when Norman French and English were commonly intermixed. “Grès” is “sandstone” in French. “Gris” is grey; griser is to give a grey tint to. “Wold”, however is clearly English, most likely from a Saxon form and is understood to mean “wood” or “forest”.

    Program Notes by Chris Darwin. Use freely for non-commercial purposes. William Walton (1902-1983) Piano Quartet (1918/1921, rev. 1974) Allegramente Allegro scherzando Andante tranquillo Allegro molto After an early childhood in Oldham singing in his father's church choir, the ten year-old William Walton won a choral scholarship to Christ Church Cathedral, Oxford, despite arriving late for the auditions after his father had drunk their train fare. At Oxford he began to compose, in order, he said, to avoid having to return home. In 1918, aged 16, he was admitted to the university to read music thanks to the considerable financial support of Thomas Banks Strong the Dean of Christ Church, but left without a degree two years later, after failing the obligatory Greek and Algebra exams three times. Much of his time had been spent in the library studying scores by Debussy, Ravel, Prokofiev and Stravinsky. At Oxford he met the Sitwell siblings Sacheverell, Osbert and Edith, who housed him in the attic of their London home, and gave him a cultural education. He met Stravinsky and Gershwin, won the praise of Alban Berg for a string quartet, and listened to jazz at the Savoy. In 1920 he went with the Sitwells to Italy, whose music and sunshine captivated the Oldham boy and inspired the music of Façade, whose notoriety launched his international career. Both his Piano Quartet and the early String Quartet that Berg praised date from his undergraduate years but they differ widely in style. In Walton's words the String Quartet is 'full of undigested Bartók and Schoenberg’; despite Berg's approval Walton soon withdrew it.

  • Moon-Earth-Sun: the Oldest Three-Body Problem
    Moon-Earth-Sun: The oldest three-body problem Martin C. Gutzwiller IBM Research Center, Yorktown Heights, New York 10598 The daily motion of the Moon through the sky has many unusual features that a careful observer can discover without the help of instruments. The three different frequencies for the three degrees of freedom have been known very accurately for 3000 years, and the geometric explanation of the Greek astronomers was basically correct. Whereas Kepler’s laws are sufficient for describing the motion of the planets around the Sun, even the most obvious facts about the lunar motion cannot be understood without the gravitational attraction of both the Earth and the Sun. Newton discussed this problem at great length, and with mixed success; it was the only testing ground for his Universal Gravitation. This background for today’s many-body theory is discussed in some detail because all the guiding principles for our understanding can be traced to the earliest developments of astronomy. They are the oldest results of scientific inquiry, and they were the first ones to be confirmed by the great physicist-mathematicians of the 18th century. By a variety of methods, Laplace was able to claim complete agreement of celestial mechanics with the astronomical observations. Lagrange initiated a new trend wherein the mathematical problems of mechanics could all be solved by the same uniform process; canonical transformations eventually won the field. They were used for the first time on a large scale by Delaunay to find the ultimate solution of the lunar problem by perturbing the solution of the two-body Earth-Moon problem.

PARKER & Co., Printers, LYNN. Introduction. The first purpose of this little book is to give some account of the Mitchell, Bryant and Orr families, with some incidents of interest in the records of the Ply­ mouth colony and later events concerning the author's personal recollections and matters pertaining to the town of Bridgewater and its surroundings. Another object: As one who has lived and been in business under the different systems of tariff which have governed our country, I wish to add my efforts to those of the steadfast body of Americans who strive for the only true principle of business intercourse, free trade. The old war cry was " Free trade and sailors' rights," but now we want free trade and the people's rights. If we can have everything which goes into a shoe free we can make shoes here as low or lower than any place in the world. The more shoes we export the more people we can keep at work here, and we want to keep our men and women at work.

MDCCCL., PREl?1\.CE. Tnrs brief Memoir ,vas suggested by the labors of Sil✓ IluMPHREY GILBERT, ,vhose life, genius, and estate were de­ voted to geographical discoveries, principally in North America. He was "THE FATHER OF NORTHERN AND NORTH WESTERN COLONIZATION" in America; in attempting which he lost his life, leaving his opinions and example in posses­ sion of his disciple and brother, Sir WALTER RALEIGH, who perfected them, and thus became the FOUNDER OF V TRGINIA. These men laid the foundation of the trade and naval power of Great Britain. Among the earliest colonists in Virginia, Connecticut, Massachusetts, and Maine were the ~ilberts, to whom these pages refer. It has been the design of the author merely to present a few general facts, which may be of service to future enquirers. [50 copies printed.] Boston~ Ang. 10, 1850. 3 THE GILBERT FAMILY.* THERE is an historical propriety in preserving, in New England, the memory of the services and name of GILBERT, as no one is more honorably or intimately connected with American discoveries, geogra­ ,-------- phy, and early history. It stands conspicuous among the illustrious names of Raleigh, Drake, Cavendish, Gosnold, Hawkins, and a host of naval worthies ; and, with s~ngular happiness, is joined with the first three named, in lineage, as well as in the less tangible but generous relationship of mind.

RICHMOND, VIRGINIA 1911 F 288884 DEDICATED TO THB MEMORY OP MY GRANDFATHER HENRY ALEXANDER WISE OF Virginia and Accomack, " I have met the Black Knight with his visor down, and his shield and lance are broken." PREFACE The author of this volume, which purports to be a History of the Eastern Shore of Virginia in the Seventeenth Cen tury, submits the completed work to the public. He can only say that he has not failed where others have succeeded, for the little peninsula has had no former historian. The task was undertaken in the hope that the very deficiencies in his own narrative might urge a more competent pen to action and inspire a better history of this long-neglected region of the Old Dominion. If this volume accomplish no other result than to impress a more able writer with the valuable material for such a work, if it call attention to events of all-absorbing interest as yet inadequately described, and bring to light from among the musty archives of Acco- mac and Northampton but a few facts bearing upon the history of our State, then will the author rest content in the feeling that while he has not succeeded as a historian, yet he has induced a more accurate portraiture of a country and a people.

    PEOPLE MENTIONED IN CAPE COD: CAPTAIN BARTHOLOMEW GOSNOLD “NARRATIVE HISTORY” AMOUNTS TO FABULATION, THE REAL STUFF BEING MERE CHRONOLOGY “Stack of the Artist of Kouroo” Project Captain Bartholomew Gosnold HDT WHAT? INDEX THE PEOPLE OF CAPE COD:CAPTAIN BARTHOLOMEW GOSNOLD 1572 John Donne was born in London to a prominent Roman Catholic family at a time when anti-Catholic feeling in England was near its height and Catholics were subject to constant harassment by the Elizabethan secret police (he would be a convert to Anglicanism during the 1590s). THE BISHOP’S BIBLE was printed by Richard Jugge in London (there had been a previous edition of this Black Letter Bible in 1568). It was an attempt of English ecclesiastics to replace the Geneva (or “Breeches”) version of Miles Coverdale, of the popularity of which they were jealous. The ornate Woodcut Initials, some showing scenes from the Classics, had been originally intended for an edition of Ovid and caused such a storm of criticism that they would not again be used in a Bible. This would sometimes be referred to as the “Leda Bible” because it used a Leda-and-the-Swan woodcut at the opening of the Book of Hebrews (and sometimes as the “Treacle Bible” because in Jeremiah 8:22 the word “treacle” was used instead of “balm”). TROSTSPIEGEL was printed in Frankfort by Christian Egenolff, a German translation of Petrarch’s prose treatise “De Remediis” (the woodcuts in this volume were by Hans Weiditz of the Ausburg school, had been in existence since 1520, and had already been used in 1532).
