Greek Music Theory Vs. The Bible, Kearsten M. Kostelnik
Greek Music Theory Vs. The Bible, Kearsten M. Kostelnik
The Research and Scholarship Symposium (2013-2019)
The great philosophers of Ancient Greece have been studied in depth and are known throughout society. Famous Greek philosophers and writers, such as Plato and Pythagoras, formulated theories on musical philosophy — it’s purpose, use, dangers, power, and importance in society. Greek philosophy of music heavily influenced early European society’s view and development of music, it only partially supports Biblical views and principles of music and worship. Pythagoras introduces the theory that music is more than just entertainment with his notion of Music of the Spheres but fails to align with the biblical view of stars and planets as mere …

The Three Parents Of The Violin, Hanna Bahorik
The Research and Scholarship Symposium (2013-2019)
The history of the violin is one full of examination and documentation, and yet speculation as to it’s true ancestry remains at the forefront of research.

Swing It Sister: The Influence Of Female Jazz Musicians On Music And Society, Kirsten Saur

From Bows To Sound-Chests: Tracing The Ancestry Of The Violin, Janelle Finley
The Research and Scholarship Symposium (2013-2019)
The subject of the ancestry of the violin is something that has been largely studied, researched, debated, and written about in great detail. However, despite all of the research and study, the ancestry of the violin is still not certain. This paper first presents two different schools of thought, each proposing different theories as to how the ancestry of the violin should be determined and what instruments should be included in the ancestry of the violin. The first school of thought proposes that the violin’s ancestry should be traced through the bow. The second theory proposes that the violin’s ancestry …
