Abstract:

In recent decades, cognitive neuroscience research has increased our understanding of how the brain learns, retains, and recalls information. At the same time, social psychology researchers have developed insights into group dynamics, exploring what motivates individuals in a group to give their full effort, or conversely, what might instead inspire them to become freeloaders. This book explores the idea that choral conductors who better understand how the brain learns, and how individuals within groups function, can lead more efficient, productive, and enjoyable rehearsals.

Abstract:

Abstract Much English music from the 1890s through the 1950s stands out for its intensive diatonicism: a studied avoidance of chromaticism and an elaboration of the expressive possibilities of purely diatonic writing. This music attempted to convey metaphysical thoughts, elevated feelings, eternity, mysticism, and ecstasy. English diatonic music was a firmly established modern tradition with remarkable consistency of vocabulary across the decades. It was the outcome of a late-Victorian musical reform movement led by Hubert Parry. Parry’s choral ode Blest Pair of Sirens (1887), setting John Mil

Messiah is discussed in reference to Handel’s operas, other choral works in general, and other oratorios in specific, with focus on the librettos. Additional historic information covers the premiere of Messiah, audience reactions, and subsequent performances, including the beginning of its popularity after performances in the Foundling Hospital Chapel and large-scale and re-orchestrated festival performances in the 1780s. Musical topics address Handel’s compositional process (e.g., speed of writing, parody of previously composed works, and revision of works from performance to performance) and

Abstract:

After his return from Paris, Carter embarked on a composing career, writing a variety of pieces, most of which he soon discarded. Carter’s remaining early works (“pre-Carter”) reflect the opposed influences of Walter Piston (objectivity, craftsmanship) and the poet Hart Crane (experimentation, rebellion). These contravening tendencies appear in the short choral works of the period, most of them written for college choruses, and more ambitious works like the score for the ballet, Pocahontas, and the Symphony no. 1. Balancing craft and expression proved difficult and Carter was often dismayed to

Abstract:

This chapter studies Kernis's music in the years 2002–2009. If in the 1990s Kernis's works had been stimulated, to a large degree, by public happenings, those of the first decade of the twenty-first century drew primarily on private experiences—the most important being the birth of his twins and the death of his parents. At the time of his twins' birth, Kernis was in the midst of writing a choral work for the Dale Warland Singers, a three-movement composition, The Wheel of Time, and the Dance. In addition to the personal events that stimulated Kernis's change in direction during this period, h

This chapter focuses on Marga Richter's compositions during the 1980s. Hoping to build on her 1970s success, Richter wrote primarily symphonic and chamber music but also returned to writing vocal and choral music. In 1980 she completed her Spectral Chimes/Enshrouded Hills for three orchestral quintets and orchestra. The initial working title was “Music for Three Quintets and Orchestra,” but was expanded to Music for Three Orchestral Quintets and Orchestra. This chapter begins with a discussion of English and Irish influences on Richter's works before turning to some of her compositions of the

Abstract:

Chorea manifests as involuntary, often contnuous, unpredictable, and involuntary dance-like movements. Patients with chorea are often unaware that they have involuntary movements. Others may try to incorporate the movement into a semipurposeful action (parakinesia). Chorea is usually worse with mental activity or emotion. Physical activity may also exacerbate chorea. The presence of “motor impersistence” is typical of chorea. Sometimes patients can also make unintentional sounds referred to as hyperkinetic dysarthria. Chorea disappears during sleep. Ballism is considered a type of chorea with

Abstract:

This chapter details the start of Mancini's musical evolution in the 1960s. If the word cadence can be defined as the notes or chords that resolve a melody, or at least lead to a new development, then this next transitional period in Mancini's career can be seen as his first cadence. It was the first sign of real evolution since he had come into his own as a jazz-pop film composer, demonstrating not only a contemporary enrichment of the harmonies and instrumental blends he had learned in the big band era, but also a broadening of the dramatic architecture of his orchestral writing into scores

Essays examine how these writers rethink materiality, especially the subject-object relationship, in order to challenge the tenets of Enlightenment and the culture of sensibility that privileged the hegemony of the speaking and feeling lyric subject and to undo supposedly invariable matter, and representations of it, that limited their writing, agency, knowledge, and even being.

Abstract:

The conversion of a considerable number of supporters of the Oxford Movement between 1845 and 1851 raised a chorus of condemnations, but also led to the publication of the individual reasons which had led the converts to Rome. In such writings, the converts insisted that the path they had taken was the result of mature consideration and of inescapable dictates of conscience: to remain in the Church of England, they claimed, would have endangered their souls. They maintained that those who remained in the Church of England did so at the cost of abandoning the very principles which had inspired

This chapter studies Kernis's early years and training. During the seventh grade, Mary Jane Scholl, a freelance music teacher, started Kernis on the violin. She also introduced him to some basic concepts of music theory and elementary composition—writing simple counterpoints and four-part chorales—which eventually led him into free composition and his first instrumental pieces. Kernis then began to teach himself piano “by sight-reading all the music [he] could get [his] hands on.” During high school, he studied jazz keyboard harmony at Temple University. He also took private piano lessons ther

Abstract:

This chapter explores why working-class fictions flourished in the period from the late 1950s through to the early 1970s and the distinctive contributions that they made to the post-war British and Irish novel. These writers of working-class fiction were celebrated for their bold, socially realistic, and often candid depictions of the lives and desires of ordinary working people. Their works were seen to herald a new and exciting wave of gritty social realism. The narrative focus on the individual signalled a shift in the history of working-class writing away from the plot staples of strikes a

Mothers appear throughout the New Testament. Called “blessed among women” by Elizabeth in the Gospel of Luke, Mary, the mother of Jesus, is the most obvious example. But Mary is joined by Elizabeth, a chorus of unnamed mothers seeking healing or promotions for their children, as well as male mothers, including Paul (Gal 4:19–20) and Jesus. Although interpreters of the New Testament have explored these maternal characters and metaphors, many have only recently begun to take seriously their theological aspects. This book builds on previous studies by arguing maternal language is not only theolog

Abstract:

The Classics were core to the curriculum and ethos of the intensely homosocial Victorian and Edwardian public schools. Yet ancient homosexuality and erotic pedagogy were problematic to the educational establishment, which expurgated classical texts with sexual content. This volume analyses the intimate nexus between the Classics, sex, and education primarily through the figure of the schoolmaster Philip Gillespie Bainbrigge (1890–1918), whose clandestine writings explore homoerotic desires and comment on classical education. It reprints Bainbrigge’s surviving works: Achilles in Scyros (a verse

Anne Tyler's novels strike a deep chord of responsiveness in her readers because her novels bring to life contemporary characters to whom we can instantly relate and in whose experiences we can see mirrored our own. Tyler's novels deal with the human experience: relationships between marital partners, between parents and children…between siblings; the meaning of love; the nature of identity; impermanence and change; and loss and continuity. In Anne Tyler novels, life is a complexity whose texture is built out of multiple layers. In this insightful study, Paul Bail shows us how Tyler constructs
