The thesis begins wlth the political, soclological, and blographical factors which influenced the development of the part-songs. They were extremely popular in the early nlneteenth century and t/tere sung by people who met in taverns and homesr or were performed at concerts for the middle class. Schubert, a very social person, became caught up in this movement and wrote dozens of part-songs. Àn analysls of his part-songs reveals that some have qualities which make them unigue, whlle nany part-songs have similar characteristlcs. Common characteristics include homophonic writing, bold key changes, repetitive figures, simple forms, the use of German texts, and that they were primarily short, one-part songs. Although there are many mlxed and womenrs part- song6, today part-songs are mainly performed by menrs choirs and even this is not common. They are a valuable resource for both perforrnance and educatlon slnce they have a wide range of dlfficulty, are suitable for varlous sizes of groups from soli to large choirs, and are not too long for most study,/performance situations. Implications for further research include 1) the tracing of menrs choral groups and their development from lg40 to the present, 2 ) a study of the relationship of harmony, voicings, and overtones in choral music (menrs voicings versus mixed and womenfs voicings), 3) a study of choral music and nationalistic Èrends, ånd 4) the influence of sociar factors on choral singing. tl Àcknowledqments I wish to acknowledge a number of people who have been instrumental in helping me complete this document.

The study wlrr rnvorve a discussion of the poriticar and sociological context in which they þrere written, factors in Schubertts personal life which infruenced the creation of this music, unigue or characteristic aspects of the part-songs, performance guidelines, and educational apptication for todayrs soc i ety. For the most part, the part-songs of Franz schubert have become forgotten in the decades following the decrine of the part-song movement and are seldom used today. Few are commonly performed and very few are recorded. Many of the songs, even the masterpieces, receive little or no exposure. Brown (1978) says that ttRuhe, Schõnstes Gluck (Peace, the Most Beautiful Gift on Earth) is a masterpiece. It is completely unknown, and I doubt if it has been sung in England this centuryrr 1p.70). The exact reasons for the lack of use of this music are open for speculatlon. In addition to suggesting some of the reasons for the neglect of thls muslc, thls study may also glve a deeper understanding of the music and therefore a more informed platform from whlch to evaluate its use and current value.

  • George Frideric Handel (1685-1759) G
    George Frideric Handel (1685-1759) G. F. Handel was born in Halle, Germany. He spent the first twenty years of his life in Germany, where he studied composition with his mentor, Friedrich W. Zachow. In 1703, he went to Hamburg to pursue larger musical opportunities where he premiered his first opera Almira in 1705. He spent five years touring Italy where he met several great composers by the names of Arcangelo Corelli, Alessandro Scarlatti, and his son Domenico Scarlatti. His time in Italy greatly influenced his compositional style. Handel is well known in the Baroque Era for his operas, oratorios, and instrumental compositions. Messiah being the most prolific work which he composed in 1741. The opera Orlando was written for the King’s Theater and debuted in 1733 where it only had ten more performances and was not revived for a great deal of time. The first revival since Handel’s lifetime was given in Halle in 1922. Orlando is an opera seria in three acts. It is a story of a great soldier in Charlemagne’s army – Orlando (Roland). Orlando is in love with the pagan princess Angelica who is in love with another man, Medoro. The great magician Zoroastro casts a spell on Orlando to see a vision urging him to cast away Venus, the goddess of love, and embrace Mars, the god of war. Orlando is kept from his senses until the third act when Zoroastro transforms a grove of palm trees into a cave where he attempts to lift his spell (Sorge infausta una procella). Before he can do so, he burns a cottage down with Medoro in it.

Myrthen, Op. 25, has been studied less than some of his other cycles because it calls into question the modern view of the song cycle and for this reason is difficult to classify. What is most difficult about the classification of Op. 25 is that there is no immediately apparent narrative.

    Abstract Balance By Eva Snyder B.A. Music and Computer Science Mount Holyoke College Balance, a three-song extended play album, was recorded in Nashville, ​ Tennessee in March of 2017 and debuted during an evening length senior recital on April 15th, 2017 at Mount Holyoke College. This paper details the processes of networking, marketing, and recording I have undertaken to produce my first professional album in the country music genre. Throughout this year, I have explored entrepreneurship in a new light and seen firsthand the issues that come along with the music industry. Using strong networking skills that I have developed, I have crafted my own solutions to said roadblocks. I have utilized new apps to quickly grow a supportive fanbase and interviewed fellow artists of differing levels of success searching for advice. In addition, I have emailed, phoned and met face-to-face with industry professionals as well as produced three radio-quality original songs while working seamlessly with highly accredited engineers in Nashville. Reflecting upon this year-long adventure will provide me with useful insights as to what worked and what did not work in regards toward advancing my professional music career. In the years to come, I hope Balance​ will spark other recording projects and be the ​ stepping stone for me to become a successful songwriter in Music City. 1 BALANCE Eva Snyder 2 Acknowledgments I would like to thank...

  • A Perspective on Food Energy Standards for Nutrition Labelling
    Downloaded from British Journal of Nutrition (2001), 85, 271±287 DOI: 10.1079/BJN2000253 q Nutrition Society 2001 https://www.cambridge.org/core Review article A perspective on food energy standards for nutrition labelling . IP address: Geoffrey Livesey Independent Nutrition Logic*, Pealerswell House, Wymondham, Norfolk, NR18 0QX, UK 170.106.202.8 (Received 20 October 1999 ± Revised 23 March 2000 ± Accepted 4 September 2000) , on Food energy values used for nutrition labelling and other purposes are traditionally based on the 28 Sep 2021 at 20:14:04 metabolisable energy (ME) standard, which has recent support from Warwick & Baines (2000). By reference to current practices and published data, the present review critically examines the ME standard and support for it. Theoretical and experimental evidence on the validity of ME and alternatives are considered. ME and alternatives are applied to 1189 foods to assess outcomes. The potential impact of implementing a better standard in food labelling, documenta- tion of energy requirements and food tables, and its impact on users including consumers, trade , subject to the Cambridge Core terms of use, available at and professionals, are also examined. Since 1987 twenty-two expert reviews, reports and regulatory documents have fully or partly dropped the ME standard. The principal reason given is that ME only approximates energy supply by nutrients, particularly fermentable carbohy- drates. ME has been replaced by net metabolisable energy (NME), which accounts for the efficiency of fuel utilisation in metabolism. Data collated from modern indirect calorimetry studies in human subjects show NME to be valid and applicable to each source of food energy, not just carbohydrates.

  • Written Evidence Submitted by Simon Lasky
    Written evidence submitted by Simon Lasky Simon Lasky testimony to the DCMS Committee Streaming is a great idea but, in it’s current form, the business model does not work for minority genres such as jazz. It is destroying our ability to create the music which contributes so much to the U.K’s cultural and economic life. By means of my personal real life example, I will illustrate why. I am well established London based jazz pianist, composer an recording artist. And I am band leader of the 6-piece jazz ensemble The Simon Lasky Group. I have released two albums of original jazz compositions on independent British jazz record label, ‘33Jazz’ Records. My composition ‘Close To Ecstasy’ (from my second album ‘About the Moment’) won the 2018 Ivors Composer Award in the Jazz Composition for Small Ensemble category. My music has received outstanding critical reviews in the U.K, Europe and America, and has been broadcast on BBC radio, JazzFM, as well as on NPR in The States. The Simon Lasky Group has sold out jazz club performances at some of London’s leading jazz clubs and has performed all over the UK to great acclaim. BUT, the maths of streaming in its current form, doesn’t add up for me and similar jazz artists: My 2018 album ‘About the Moment’ took two years to create. The compositions are all my own and took 6 months to write. The album cost £7,500 to record. The recording process involved hiring some of the UK’s leading specialist jazz instrumentalists, rehearsing the music for weeks, hiring a rehearsal space, recording studio and recording engineer, mixing and mastering the album + additional expenses like CD duplication and album promotion.
