The Yale-Classical Archives Corpus, Christopher William White, Ian Quinn

Music & Dance Department Faculty Publication Series

The Yale-Classical Archives Corpus (YCAC) contains harmonic and rhythmic information for a dataset of Western European Classical art music. This corpus is based on data from classicalarchives.com, a repository of thousands of user-generated MIDI representations of pieces from several periods of Western European music history. The YCAC makes available metadata for each MIDI file, as well as a list of pitch simultaneities ("salami slices") in the MIDI file.

La Barraca, 1933: El Giro Lopiano De García Lorca, David Rodríguez-Solás

Spanish and Portuguese Faculty Publication Series

In 1933, this troupe experiences a substantial change in the staging of classical plays as Fuenteovejuna was included in their repertoire. La Barraca responds to their mission as intermediaries of the theatrical tradition and educators of their new audiences. However, these additions involve a politization of their practices and siding with the Spanish Republic cultural outreach projects.

The Language Of Sustainability, Maija Ploof

Student Showcase

This paper seeks to address the importance of understanding the ambiguous term "sustainability" through the study of humanities, chiefly literature. Additionally, the paper explores the emerging genre of climate change fiction, or "cli-fi" and its potential role in presenting the issues of both ecological and human sustainability to a global audience, using Amitav Ghosh's novel The Hungry Tide as a primary example. As a basis for the theory that literature can affect a sustainable future, I also examine the importance of language in shaping both perception and protection of the environment. Language creates familiarity, which in turn creates consciousness. Literature …
