  • The Music of Pierre Jalbert

    The Music of Pierre Jalbert

    " an acknowledged chamber-music master." – THE NEW YORKER American composer Pierre Jalbert has been recognized for his richly colored and superbly crafted scores and “music of fierce and delicate inventiveness [with] kaleidoscope of moods and effects.” (Cleveland Plain Dealer) Painting vibrant and picturesque sonic portraits for the listener, he has developed a musical language that is engaging, expressive, and deeply personal. Among his many honors are the Rome Prize, BBC Masterprize, Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center's Stoeger Award, given biennially "in recognition of significant contributions to the chamber music repertory," and an award from the American Academy of Arts and Letters. Jalbert’s work has drawn inspiration from a variety of sources ranging from plainchant melodies to natural phenomena, and his French-Canadian heritage, hearing English folk songs and Catholic liturgical music growing up. He has earned a reputation for his mastery of color, in both his chamber and orchestral scores, creating timbres that are vivid yet refined and tonally centered, combining modal, tonal, and dissonant sonorities as it travels new and unusual paths, while retaining a sense of harmonic motion culminating in a completed journey. His music has been commissioned and performed worldwide, including the St. Paul and Los Angeles Chamber orchestras, the American Composers Orchestra, and the Symphonies of Houston, Vermont, Albany, Budapest, London, Boston and Milwaukee, the National Symphony, Cabrillo and Eastern Festival Orchestras. He received two Meet the Composer grants, including one for its “Magnum Opus Project.” Jalbert served as Composer-in-Residence with the Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra, California Symphony and Chicago's Music in the Loft.

His father Willis Daugherty (1929-2011) was a jazz and country and western drummer, his mother Evelyn Daugherty (1927-1974) was an amateur singer, and his grandmother Josephine Daugherty (1907- 1991) was a pianist for silent film. As a GRAMMY® award-winning composer, Michael Daugherty is one of the most commissioned, performed, and recorded composers on the American concert music scene today. Daugherty first came to international attention when the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra, conducted by David Zinman, performed his Metropolis Symphony at Carnegie Hall in 1994. Since that time, Daugherty’s music has entered the orchestral, band and chamber music repertory and made him, according to the League of American Orchestras, one of the ten most performed American composers.

GRIFFIN NEAL [email protected] On Glenn Boyce’s first school day as chancellor, he’ll be met with a crowd of students, faculty and Oxford residents outside of his office — and they won’t be there to welcome him to campus. The group, organized by the Abolish IHL coalition, plans to march to the Lyceum at 12:30 p.m. on Monday in protest of the Institution of Higher Learn- ing’s selection process. They will demand Boyce resign on his first day as chancellor. Along with demanding Boyce’s immediate resignation, the group demands the imme- diate resignation of all 12 IHL Board of Trustees members and that the chancellor search process be reopened and selected by a democratically elected committee of univer- sity stakeholders. The coalition was formed following the Oct. 3 news of Glenn Boyce as the univer- sity’s 18th chancellor.

    Chapter 3 Federalism: Mississippi, Alabama, and The

    CHAPTER 3 FEDERALISM: MISSISSIPPI, ALABAMA, AND THE U.S.A. By the summer of 1962, Clark Schooler had gone ABD at Johns Hopkins University. ABD stood for All But Dissertation. It meant that Clark had completed the course work for his Ph.D. degree in political science, but he had not yet written the approximately 500 page manuscript, called a dissertation, which was the final requirement for the degree. Being ABD at Johns Hopkins put some free time into Clark’s work schedule. He had plenty to do to write his dissertation. There were long hours doing research in the university library and even longer hours pecking away at the keys of his Underwood portable typewriter. But he could do the work whenever it was convenient for him. If he needed to leave Baltimore for a few days or a few weeks, he could do so without seriously interrupting his dissertation writing schedule. Which was fortunate, because the Patriot Press newspaper chain, owner of the Baltimore Banner, had plans for Clark Schooler. In the early 1960s, the Patriot Press had developed a news gathering and marketing technique called the Patriot Press News Squadron. Promising reporters from through- out the Patriot Press newspaper empire were sent as a two or three person team to cover important and fast breaking national news stories. These stories were published in all the newspapers owned by the Patriot Press throughout the United States. And right under each reporter’s name, or byline, ran the words: “Member, Patriot Press News Squadron.” The city editor at the Baltimore Banner, Terry Songman, looked at Clark Schooler and spoke with animation.

    David Vela, Superintendent Grand Teton National Park John D. Rockefeller, Jr. Memorial Parkway Re: Telecommunications Infrastructure Plan EA Dear Mr. Vela & National Park Staff, Environmental Health Trust (EHT) is a nonprofit Think Tank and policy organization dedicated to identifying and reducing environmental health hazards. EHT provides independent scientific research and advice on controllable environmental hazards to local, state and national governments. Today, we write to advise you of scientific grounds for major health and environmental concerns about the proposal for the installation of wireless telecommunications ​ ​ facilities and associated infrastructure at nine developed areas in the park and to express our grave concerns about ​ this planned expansion of mobile communications in Grand Teton National Park. You may recall your discussions last year with me about the need to limit exposures to wildlife and fauna from wireless radiation that took place when we met as part of the City Kids final ascent of the Grand. We fully recognize there is a need for communication for emergency purposes. We further recognize that the Park plays a unique role in our country and in our lives by providing a wilderness that is apart from the normal hectic life that many Americans lead today. We are deeply concerned that by expanding wireless communications this proposal will irrevocably impair the wilderness experience and that there are wired solutions that would be far less damaging. The transmissions to and from these proposed microwave wireless installations will be emissions that are an environmental pollutant known to cause cancer (in both experimental animals and humans) and other adverse health and environmental effects (e.g., on birds, bees, trees) according to internationally recognized authoritative research, including studies conducted by the U.S.
