Musical Venues In Vienna, Seventeenth Century To The Present, Ingeborg Harer Jan 2012

Musical Venues In Vienna, Seventeenth Century To The Present, Ingeborg Harer

Performance Practice Review

RILM abstract: "Consideration of musical venues is often neglected in research on historical performance practice. Many musical works are directly linked to a particular location. The characteristic features (type, size, Acoustics) of the room or building for which the music was written influenced the composer in the creation of his work. A number of venues have had a special place in the musical life of Vienna over the past four centuries. A list of principal Viennese musical buildings (theaters, opera houses, music rooms, concert halls) is included, along with the circumstances surrounding their construction, and the more important musical works--especially …


Musical Performance At San Petronio In Bologna: A Brief History, Marc Vanscheeuwijck Jan 2012

Musical Performance At San Petronio In Bologna: A Brief History, Marc Vanscheeuwijck

Performance Practice Review

RILM abstract: "The building of Bologna's most important church was decided by the Senate and begun in 1390. A regular musical chapel was created in 1436, and the first organ was installed in 1475. A second instrument was built in 1596 to perform double choir music with the chorus and the cornetto and sackbut band. During the 17th and 18th c. a considerable repertoire for large ensembles with vocal soloists, choirs, trumpets, and strings in concerted style developed in the basilica. Stylistic characteristics of the music result from the long reverberation time (12 seconds) and other acoustic qualities specific to …


Woodwind Vibrato From The Eighteenth Century To The Present, Dwight C. Manning Jan 2012

Woodwind Vibrato From The Eighteenth Century To The Present, Dwight C. Manning

Performance Practice Review

RILM abstract: "Surveys methods of vibrato production in woodwind performance. Beginning with Jacques Martin-Hotteterre, 18th-c. authors recommended finger vibrato. In the 19th c., Anton Bernhard Furstenau mentioned finger as well as jaw and breath vibrato. Late in the century, Maximillian Schwendler proclaimed that vibrato is initiated in the larynx (throat). The 20th c. has seen the debate continue over whether vibrato is produced by the breathing and blowing apparatus or by the throat, with recent scientific experiments supporting the latter claim."


Violin Playing In Late Seventeenth-Century England: Baltzar, Matteis, And Purcell, Mary Cyr Jan 2012

Violin Playing In Late Seventeenth-Century England: Baltzar, Matteis, And Purcell, Mary Cyr

Performance Practice Review

RILM abstract: "In the late 17th c., violin playing in England underwent a virtual revolution as a result of virtuoso techniques introduced by violinists from abroad such as Thomas Baltzar and Nicola Matteis. Iconographical evidence illustrates the popularity of the French bow grip and various ways of placing the instrument against the body. Technical features such as multiple stops and the messa di voce were employed extensively by Baltzar and Matteis. The likelihood that their playing influenced Henry Purcell suggests that violinists today might incorporate lively Articulation and the messa di voce in Purcell's trio sonatas of 1683."


Brossard And The Performance Of Jacquet De La Guerre's Céphale Et Procris, Wanda R. Griffiths Jan 2012

Brossard And The Performance Of Jacquet De La Guerre's Céphale Et Procris, Wanda R. Griffiths

Performance Practice Review

RILM abstract: "Sebastien de Brossard made an arrangement of the prologue of Jacquet's tragedie en musique, and had it performed by his Academie de Musique in Strasbourg in 1696, two years after the opera's run at the Paris Opera. His arrangement sheds light on performance issues including breathing, vocal ornamentation, notes inegales, and scoring.(author)"


Giovanni Luca Conforti And Vocal Embellishment: From Formula To Artful Improvisation, Murray C. Bradshaw Jan 2012

Giovanni Luca Conforti And Vocal Embellishment: From Formula To Artful Improvisation, Murray C. Bradshaw

Performance Practice Review

"Considers Conforti's treatise Breve et facile maniera d'essercitarsi... (1593) and his Salmi passaggiati (1601-03), revealing the vast gulf between the etude-like exercises in the treatise and the actual embellished music--a difference similar to that between the exercises of Hanon and the piano etudes of Chopin. The embellishments of this period were far more than mere displays of virtuosity; they sprang from a desire to express the deepest meanings of the text."


Performance Practice And Musical Expressivity, Roland Jackson Jan 2012

Performance Practice And Musical Expressivity, Roland Jackson

Performance Practice Review

"Musical expressivity is intimately associated with subtle dynamic changes--slight variations in volume between one note and the next--which help shape and make meaningful the phrases. Daniel Gottlob Turk was among the few theorists who recognized and described this subtlety."


A Strategic Vision For Reaching U.S. Native Latinos In Chicago, Carmelo Mercado Jan 2012

A Strategic Vision For Reaching U.S. Native Latinos In Chicago, Carmelo Mercado

180 Symposium Publications

Latino evangelism and church planting has traditionally focused on reaching first generation immigrant families from Spanish speaking countries. North American Division statistics demonstrate that the vast majority of Latino baptisms and membership are first generation Latinos. Yet the majority of Latinos in the U.S. are second and third generation, born in the United States. Generational differences make it clear that U.S. born Latinos cannot be reached with the same methods that are typically used with first generation Latinos. Through a partnership with the Seventh-day Adventist conferences in the Chicago area and the Lake Union we are proposing a strategy to …


The Forgotten Middle Class Of Picher Oklahoma 1928-1931, V. Genile Dennison Jan 2012

The Forgotten Middle Class Of Picher Oklahoma 1928-1931, V. Genile Dennison

Theory and Practice: HIST430

In 1928, the United States had a thriving middle class. Picher, Oklahoma was no exception to that normal state of affairs. In every year, in every city there are diverse incomes and activities. In this era of social history, many historians concentrate on the poorest residents of a given city. This can give a casual history buff the impression that everyone in the city was desperately poor and struggling for survival. That limited presentation negates the impact that the people of middle income had on society. The local Picher newspaper, The King Jack was like many local papers of its …

Interpreting the Civil War: Connecting the Civil War to the American Public

It has been one year since the birth of this blog. Not one year since our first post. If you run back in our roll, the first post was February 1st 2011. Still, this blog was born on this day one year ago, or at least the ethic which leads me to post week in, week out was. I didn't even realize that fact until a few weeks ago. [excerpt]
