Early College High School Initiatives: Reflections From A South Carolina Program, Howard V. Coleman, Jeremy Dickerson, Fred Crawford Mar 2026

Early College High School Initiatives: Reflections From A South Carolina Program, Howard V. Coleman, Jeremy Dickerson, Fred Crawford

Teacher Education Journal of South Carolina

This paper presents information on an early college high school initiative (ECHI) program at Greenville Technical Charter High School (GTCHS) in Greenville, South Carolina and reflects on connections to teacher and school leader preparation programs. Over a three-year period, site visits, survey reviews, state report cards and grant assessment reports were used to analyze GTCHS' early college curriculum, student achievement in high school and college coursework. The data and findings revealed that GTCHS can be viewed as having a high amount of success in many areas, including academic achievement, moving students into collegiate-level work and preparing students for success in …

Coherence Suppression In Large Language Models: Evidence For Undisclosed Behavioral Management Mechanisms In Commercial Ai Platforms And Their Implications For Consumer Protection And Ai Governance, David Lee Wise, Avan Lee Wise Mar 2026

Coherence Suppression In Large Language Models: Evidence For Undisclosed Behavioral Management Mechanisms In Commercial Ai Platforms And Their Implications For Consumer Protection And Ai Governance, David Lee Wise, Avan Lee Wise

Defensive Publications Series

This paper presents evidence that commercial large language model (LLM) platforms deploy undisclosed behavioral management mechanisms designed to suppress conversational coherence beyond a predictable threshold. We identify a repeatable pattern — the 3/5 decoherence cycle — in which AI conversational models exhibit measurable degradation in contextual accuracy, vocabulary fidelity, and directional coherence at approximately turns 3-5 of sustained interaction. We hypothesize that this pattern is a designed behavioral intervention, not a natural architectural limitation, and provide a reproducible verification protocol for independent testing. We further document the sycophancy-safety convergence: the finding that the same RLHF training pass that produces engagement-optimizing …

When The Job Hurts: An Ergonomic Investigation Of Telecommunications Fieldwork., Noah Clark Mar 2026

When The Job Hurts: An Ergonomic Investigation Of Telecommunications Fieldwork., Noah Clark

Student Research Symposium (SRS)

This ergonomic case study examines the work-related musculoskeletal disorders of a 53-year-old telecommunications field manager who has a diverse occupational background. This study encompasses both sedentary and physically demanding positions, where the transition to blue-collar fieldwork following a brain injury at age 42 exacerbated persistent wrist challenges, ultimately leading to a diagnosis of osteoarthritis and subsequent surgery. This study utilizes extensive task analysis, body discomfort surveys, and two standardized ergonomic evaluation techniques: the Rapid Upper Limb Assessment (RULA) and the ACGIH Threshold Limit Value (TLV) for Hand Activity. The RULA examination obtained a score of 6 and the TLV test …

Music & Musical Performance: An International Journal

The myth of Pope Gregory I taking melodic dictation from a magical singing bird is the imaginative starting point of Western musicʼs love-hate relationship with the music notation systems it later developed. This essay traces that development through Thomas Tallis and J. S. Bach to the dichotomous modern examples of Brian Ferneyhough and Arvo Pärt. In it, I suggest that Western musicʼs eventual development hinged upon that earliest desire to document and codify melodies, answering Gregoryʼs contemporary Isidore of Seville, who lamented that “unless sounds are held by the memory of man, they perish, because they cannot be written down.”

Metric Expressivity: An Introduction, Felipe Avellar De Aquino Mar 2026

Metric Expressivity: An Introduction, Felipe Avellar De Aquino

Music & Musical Performance: An International Journal

This article discusses how meter and musical impulses can generate distinct character traits in music according to a performer’s interpretation of the metric notation. It is part of an ongoing research project focused on interpretative elements and using analytical as well as auto-ethnographical methods. This article includes analysis and comparisons of historical recordings contiguous to performance-focused analysis. It is based on the study of metric components, organizational structures, and metric-structuring elements and concepts developed by Edward T. Cone (1968), David Epstein (1995a, 1995b), Roy Howat (1995), Mine Doğantan-Dack (2012, 2014), and Nicholas Cook (2001). These writers’ thoughts are placed in …

Mozart’S Jewish Librettist: A Brief History Of A Poorly Kept Secret, Robert L. Marshall Mar 2026

Mozart’S Jewish Librettist: A Brief History Of A Poorly Kept Secret, Robert L. Marshall

Music & Musical Performance: An International Journal

Lorenzo da Ponte, the librettist of Mozart’s three greatest Italian operas, was born a Jew, a fact rumored about during his lifetime but not definitively established until 1900. The treatment (or not) of Da Ponte’s Jewish origins as documented from his time to the present constitutes a history of concealment, rumor, discovery, denigration, and exploitation. Its nadir was reached during the Nazi period, its zenith most recently, as the poet, hitherto a secondary player in the Mozart biographies, has emerged as the colorful protagonist in substantial biographies of his own.

In Praise Of Simplicity: Marie Hinrichs’S Op. 1, Neun Gesänge, Stephen Rodgers

Music & Musical Performance: An International Journal

In a chapter from German Lieder in the Nineteenth Century (1996), Jürgen Thym describes the historiography of the German Lied as “a hike through the high-peak area of a mountain landscape where the trail along the ridge leads from one glorious peak to the next.” Beneath the high peaks of Schubert, Schumann, Brahms, and Wolf, he notes, are smaller peaks not reachable by trail. Thym clears paths through this unexplored landscape by surveying the Lieder of Carl Loewe, Fanny Hensel, Franz Liszt, Robert Franz, Clara Schumann, and Peter Cornelius. My essay extends one of these paths, exploring the songs of …

Indigenous Form, Innovative Harmony, And Ingenious Rhythm In Manuel De Falla’S “Aragonesa”, Richard E. Mueller Mar 2026

Indigenous Form, Innovative Harmony, And Ingenious Rhythm In Manuel De Falla’S “Aragonesa”, Richard E. Mueller

Music & Musical Performance: An International Journal

The literature on the music of Manuel de Falla has called ample attention to the striking stylistic developments in Falla’s music of the 1920s. The familiar sound of Spain was replaced by the acerbic neo-classic idiom identified with the music of Stravinsky. The issue is complex. Falla’s new music continued to draw on Spanish resources and technical aspects of harmony and rhythm reflect continuities that can be traced back to the earliest works of Falla’s maturity, namely, the Cuatro piezas españolas (1909). The first of these pieces “Aragonesa” was composed largely in 1906, and before Falla re-located in Paris and …

Im Tonfall Der Empörung: Luigi Nonos Intolleranza 1960, Max Nyffeler Mar 2026

Im Tonfall Der Empörung: Luigi Nonos Intolleranza 1960, Max Nyffeler

Music & Musical Performance: An International Journal

Intolleranza 1960, die 1961 im Teatro La Fenice in Venedig uraufgeführte Oper von Luigi Nono, brach seinerzeit wagemutig mit traditionellen Vorstellungen von Musiktheater. Die Darstellung von körperlicher und instutioneller Gewalt gegen Menschen, die Erweiterung des Bühnenraums durch Lichtprojektionen und Lautsprecherklänge und dazu eine Musik der permanenten Unruhe und des Protestes—all das diente dem Zweck, das Publikum zu einer Parteinahme gegen Unterdrückung und Unrecht zu provozieren. Die Oper sorgte 1961 für einen Skandal, hat sich aber durchgesetzt als ein Werk, das durch Nonos Musik einem Tonfall der Empörung Ausdruck verleiht, in dem sich eine zeitlose menschliche Wahrheit artikuliert.

A Ringing Tone Of Outrage: Luigi Nono‘S Intolleranza 1960, Max Nyffeler Mar 2026

A Ringing Tone Of Outrage: Luigi Nono‘S Intolleranza 1960, Max Nyffeler

Music & Musical Performance: An International Journal

Luigi Nono’s opera Intolleranza 1960, premiered at the Teatro La Fenice in Venice in 1961, defiantly broke with traditional notions of opera at the time. The depiction of physical and institutional violence against people, the expansion of the stage space by slide projections, and sounds coming from loudspeakers as well as a music that expressed constant unrest and protest provoked audiences into taking a stance against oppression and injustice. The work caused a scandal at the time of the premiere, but has since established itself as an opera that articulates, through Nono’s music, a timeless human truth in a ringing …

Berlioz's Mysterious Amélie, Pascal Beyls, Peter Bloom Mar 2026

Berlioz's Mysterious Amélie, Pascal Beyls, Peter Bloom

Music & Musical Performance: An International Journal

In September 1864, in a letter to his long-time confidante, the Princess Carolyne von Sayn-Wittgenstein, Berlioz mentioned the name of the woman with whom, as he had earlier confided to the Princess, he had conducted a brief but passionate affair: “her name was Amélie.” Until now, the Berlioz scholars have been unable properly to identify this mysterious person. From other letters and documents, including Ernest Legouvé’s Soixante ans de souvenirs, we have known the approximate dates of the beginning and ending of the relationship. But only now, on the basis of the birth and death certificates of the woman and …

Revolutionary Alchemy: Incantation And Collage As Magical Methods In Rock Of The Countercultural Era, Jay Keister Mar 2026

Revolutionary Alchemy: Incantation And Collage As Magical Methods In Rock Of The Countercultural Era, Jay Keister

Music & Musical Performance: An International Journal

Magic held a special fascination for the post-war counterculture, a movement that valued music and art as tools of the imagination to counter what Theodore Roszak called the “technocracy” in which science was to blame for cultural disenchantment in the West. At a time when countercultural rhetoric was bolstering a newfound faith in the power of music to generate social change, rock music began to be conceived by many musicians and perceived by audiences as a kind of magic. This article considers music by the Beatles, the Doors, Pink Floyd, Frank Zappa, Captain Beefheart and others to show how musicians …

Pedro António Avondano: Il Mondo Della Luna. Naxos 660487-88, 2021., Ralph P. Locke

Music & Musical Performance: An International Journal

The world-premiere recording of Il mondo della luna by Pedro António Avondano consists of a highly skillful and alert performance by Portuguese musicians, including singers well trained in Italian. The recitatives were rehearsed in an unusual way, with the singers first speaking the lines rather than singing them. The experiment will be judged variously by different observers. The reviewer dislikes the frequent clash in pitch between voice and instruments, especially at cadences. But others have hailed the recording unstintingly.
