The Vanguard (Vol. 31, No. 1), Feb 1984, Lutheran Human Relations Association Of America

The Vanguard

Irreparable damage was inflicted on the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights during a bitter and protracted debate spanning much of 1983. The past year has seen the loss of an independent civil rights 'watchdog' that has served the nation welt for over 25 years. It was a one-of-a-kind agency that will be difficult, if not impossible, to replace.

The U.S. Commission on Civil Rights was created by President Eisenhower in 1957 for the express purpose of investigating and monitoring in an objective manner the civil rights policies of the federal government. Under this responsibility it monitors the performance of federal …

The Vanguard (Vol. 31, No. 5), July 1984, Lutheran Human Relations Association Of America

The Vanguard

No longer wishing to be marginalized by the national Lutheran churches, and deeply concerned about the ongoing formation of a new Lutheran church, 35 persons gathered in Chicago, May 10-12, and formed a coalition of "edge-of-the-church" ministries. Called the Working Group On Justice Agendas and the New Lutheran church, it represents the broadest based coalition of such Lutheran ministries that has ever been formed.

The Rev. Dr. Albert "Pete" Pero proclaimed the event to be '' A union which will make the new church take justice seriously.'' Pero, a member of the Transcultural Task Force, Association of Black Lutherans (LCA) …

The Impact Of Language On Musical Composition In Ghana: An Introduction To The Musical Style Of Ephraim Amu, V. Kofi Agawu

Publications and Research

In most cultures of the world, the creative act of composition may be defined simply as the transformation of pre-existing material into new, individualized structures. The precompositional resource may be a system such as the hierarchical arrangement of triads that forms the basis of Western tonality, a set of formulas that generates such genres as Gregorian chant and West African storytelling, or even a rigidly defined set of relationships such as those inherent in a twelve-tone row. In each case, the precompositional elements provide a framework for the analysis and interpretation of the composition.

The Concept Of Tala In Semi-Classical Music, Peter L. Manuel

Publications and Research

This article explores certain rhythmic features distinctive of the concept of tal in North Indian light-classical music, especially thumri. Particularly salient is the way that ambiguity of beat counts in tals called dipchandi, addha, and jat reflect how these tals are traditionally conceived in terms of drum strokes (dha dhin dha dha dhin etc.) instead of beat counts, which are in fact variable. Published in: National Centre for the Performing Arts: Quarterly Journal (Bombay) 12(4), December 1983. pp. 7-14.

The Musical Language Of Kindertotenlieder No. 2, V. Kofi Agawu

Publications and Research

Three times during his compositional career, Mahler turned to the medium of the orchestral song cycle either to experiment with or to refine certain technical procedures. This resulted in a variety of methods for establishing large-scale tonal coherence, using song as a resource for later symphonic composition, and stylizing folk material, melodically and rhythmically. These compositional techniques are clearly exemplified in Mahler's three cycles, Lieder eines fahrenden Gesellen (1883-85), Kindertotenlieder (1901-04), and Das Lied von der Erde (1907-08).

Fiddle Songs And Banjo Songs: A Description Index, Gilbert Wayne Howard

Masters Theses & Specialist Projects

English-language texts associated with fiddle and banjo in the southern United States are described and then indexed for comparative reference. The fiddle songs are typically humorous, very brief, highly variable and disunified. The same is true of many banjo songs associated with the banjo. Ballads in the fiddle and the banjo repertory are not indexed if previously catalogued by Child or Laws.

Fiddle and banjo songs are defined as texts associated with fiddle or banjo playing, either through instrumental accompaniment or because informants mentally associate them with the fiddle or banjo. Various ways of performing the songs are enumerated, with …
