I must first express gratitude to my relations, especially my mother Dr. Candice M. Ames and my brother Andrew J. Ames and his family, without whose support I surely never could have undertaken the journey from Minnesota to the Winterthur Program in American Material Culture nearly two years ago. At Winterthur, I found mentors who extended every effort to encourage my academic growth. Rosemary Krill, Brock Jobe, J. Ritchie Garrison, and Greg Landrey did much to help me explore new fields. I owe a particular debt to Winterthur’s art conservators. In one, Consuela Metzger, I found a thesis advisor willing to devote countless hours to guiding my intellectual exploration.

  • 7332 EARLY MUSIC PRINTING TEXT PT 246X174mm
    Early Music Printing in German-Speaking Lands Edited by Andrea Lindmayr-Brandl, Elisabeth Giselbrecht and Grantley McDonald First published 2018 ISBN: 978-1-138-24105-3 (hbk) ISBN: 978-1-315-28145-2 (ebk) Chapter 8 The music editions of Christian Egenolff: a new catalogue and its implications Royston Gustavson (CC BY-NC-ND 4.0) 8 The music editions of Christian Egenolff A new catalogue and its implications1 Royston Gustavson For Grantley McDonald Introduction Christian Egenolff is one of the most important music printers in the German-speaking area in the sixteenth century, in part because he was the first German printer to use single- impression movable type to print mensural music (which is much cheaper than the previous double-impression process), and in part because of his editions of Tenorlieder. Music, however, formed a very small part of his output, both in terms of total editions (sixteen of more than 600 editions) and of the physical scale of the editions. To place this into perspective, to print one copy of each of his known music editions (excluding the lost Gesangbüchlin) would have taken 282 sheets of paper; to print one copy of his 1534 bible (VD16 B 2692) took 290 sheets of paper. Previous catalogues of Egenolff’s music editions have been incomplete, although that by Hans-Christian Müller in 1964 was an outstanding version based on the evidence known at that time.2 A third of Egenolff’s extant editions have until now remained without a known title as the title pages were missing, just over half have had a contested date of printing, and two works have been believed to exist in two editions, whereas there is only one edition, but two issues, of each.

  • Discography Updates (Updated May, 2021)
    Discography Updates (Updated May, 2021) I’ve been amassing corrections and additions since the August, 2012 publication of Pepper Adams’ Joy Road. Its 2013 paperback edition gave me a chance to overhaul the Index. For reasons I explain below, it’s vastly superior to the index in the hardcover version. But those are static changes, fixed in the manuscript. Discographers know that their databases are instantly obsolete upon publication. New commercial recordings continue to get released or reissued. Audience recordings are continually discovered. Errors are unmasked, and missing information slowly but surely gets supplanted by new data. That’s why discographies in book form are now a rarity. With the steady stream of updates that are needed to keep a discography current, the internet is the ideal medium. When Joy Road goes out of print, in fact, my entire book with updates will be posted right here. At that time, many of these changes will be combined with their corresponding entries. Until then, to give you the fullest sense of each session, please consult the original entry as well as information here. Please send any additions, corrections or comments to http://gc-pepperadamsblog.blogspot.com/, despite the content of the current blog post.

  • Five Centurie< of German Fraktur by Walden Font
    Five Centurie< of German Fraktur by Walden Font Johanne< Gutenberg 1455 German Fraktur represents one of the most interesting families of typefaces in the history of printing. Few types have had such a turbulent history, and even fewer have been alter- nately praised and despised throughout their history. Only recently has Fraktur been rediscovered for what it is: a beau- tiful way of putting words into written form. Walden Font is proud to pres- ent, for the first time, an edition of 18 classic Fraktur and German Script fonts from five centuries for use on your home computer. This booklet describes the history of each font and provides you with samples for its use. Also included are the standard typeset- ting instructions for Fraktur ligatures and the special characters of the Gutenberg Bibelschrift. We hope you find the Gutenberg Press to be an entertaining and educational publishing tool. We certainly welcome your comments and sug- gestions. You will find information on how to contact us at the end of this booklet. Verehrter Frakturfreund!

Miles Ealy Childhood Development Center Beginnings • With the formal academic year over, for the “Maymester” session, our teachers often identify a theme that reflects interests expressed by children over the year across class groups. • We had a great experience two years ago with a month long festival of performing arts, and teachers remembered there was high interest in a few activities that were “folk art” inspired. With some of those children still here at ECDC, they decided to pursue that idea. • Our documentation from the 2007 festival was revisited, several books were read, examples shared, and class discussions held that confirmed the promise of a study of folk arts. CC: Attribution Non-Commercial No Derivatives • School of Education, Health & Human Performance • College of Charleston N.E. Miles Ealy Childhood Development Center Key Concepts & Activity Plans • Planning needed to be inclusive for 2-5 year olds and several children with special needs. • Activity choices needed to permit direct teaching of techniques specific to the genres, but be open-ended to allow for creative expression and individuality. • We wanted at least one activity to be a joint effort that could be added to our permanent collection and display of child work. • During the summer sessions, meeting the South Carolina Early Learning Standards is not the highest priority, but we anticipated there would be many positive outcomes from this work that could be correlated or documented to the standards.

That was the primary result of the special meeting held by the Newport City Council Monday night. Mayor Paul Monette and Aldermen John Wilson and Denis Chenette were put on the spot by the unexpected resignation of city council President Neil Morrissette and Alderman Steven Vincent after the results of Town Meeting Day balloting were known. Both men submitted letters of resignation immediately after learning that Alderman Jacques Roberge had lost his re-election bid to Mr. Chenette. “At this time and under the current conditions I can no longer serve,” both men wrote in submitting their immediate resignations. Mr. Morrissette had another year left in his term, and North Country Union High School seniors Dana Marsh, left, and Dawson Cote carry the championship banner Mr. Vincent had just been re-elected with the leading the Falcons hockey team in a victory lap around the ice at Gutterson Field House on Thursday in highest vote total in the four-way contest.
