Music for classical guitar by South African composers : a historical survey, notes on selected works and a general catalogue
No full textIncludes abstract.Includes bibliographical references (leaves 296-309).This is the first comprehensive investigation of music for, or including, the classical guitar by South African composers. The focus of this research has been, firstly, to uncover as much of the repertoire as possible, and, secondly, to collate, study, catalogue and report on the information. A brief historical survey of the guitar in South Africa provides the context within which this study was conducted. The primary sources of quantitative data collection were through the archival catalogues of the South African Music Rights Organisation and through personal contact with guitarists, composers and guitar teachers. Other sources consulted were publishers, broadcasting corporations, recording companies, libraries and the internet. The body of the dissertation comprises biographical sketches, background notes, analyses and technical notes on 17 selected solo and chamber works dating from 1947 to 2007 by some of South Africa's most prominent composers and guitaristcomposers. The repertoire ranges in style from the traditional and ethnically inspired to the experimental and abstract. As this is an empirical survey, each selected entry includes details on instrumentation, duration, level of difficulty, number of pages, scordatura, commissions or requests, sources or publishers, premières and recordings. A biography of each composer is provided as well as background notes which offer an overview of the selected work. The notes discuss historical, cultural, musical and extra-musical influences, and frequently include references to interview material. The commentaries on the selected works, with musical examples, include an analytical component describing structure, form, stylistic and compositional elements, while the technical observations include performance suggestions and a grading for each work
The theodicy of Peter Taylor Forsyth: a "crucial" justification of the ways of God to man
No full textThis study seeks to describe the theodicy of Scottish theologian Peter Taylor Forsyth. We begin by making some preliminary comments concerning Forsyth’s conception of reality and his understanding of evil. We then examine Forsyth’s methodology of the theologia crucis, which he utilises in his justification of God. Forsyth sees a crucial event taking place at the Cross, “the self-justification of God”, one which constitutes the basis for all human attempts to justify God. We explore his multi-faceted understanding of this event, and how it leads to two outcomes which form the main thrusts of his theodicy. In Chapters 3 and 4, we look at the first such outcome, which is that God moves the world inexorably towards his glorious telos. We also consider here the significance of this first outcome for Forsyth’s theodicy, which is that it imparts to this theodicy a strongly teleological and historical nature. In Chapters 5 and 6, we consider the second outcome of God’s self-justification. This is the revelation that God suffered incomparably in the event of the Cross. We draw out two major implications of this for Forsyth’s theodicy, based upon the idea that God is the chief sufferer and giver in our battle against sin, and the possibility that Christ might serve as our model of faith in times of suffering. We turn, in our final two chapters, to examine Forsyth’s view on the origin of both sin and suffering, his understanding of the God-world relationship, and the significance of these for his theodicy. We conclude that Forsyth’s justification of God constitutes a robust and comprehensive response to the problem of evil, possibly rendering a valuable service to the task of Christian theodicy through its ability to integrate insights from what has hitherto been considered different approaches to the issue

The Theocentric Theology of Peter Taylor Forsyth
No full textThe British Congregationalist theologian Peter Taylor Forsyth (1848-1921) attempted to formulate a consciously theocentric theology during the height of Protestant liberalism. He did so in opposition to the two traditions which, he believed, contributed to the liberal outlook -- rationalism which stressed the autonomy of reason and was manifested in the rise of historical criticism)and romanticism which stressed the autonomy of subjective feeling and was prevalent in popular piety. Both these tendencies were anthropocentric. They took as their point of departure human religious aspirations rather than the sovereignty and holiness of God. Holiness is the central category in Forsyth's theology. It defines the other concepts such as grace, redemption and reconciliation. Forsyth attempted to understand holiness in terms relevant to peculiar conditions of modern consciousness. He did so primarily by dealing with Christian experience as the encounter between the two personalities and wills -- the holy will of God and the sinful human will. Forsyth responded to what he considered to be the illegitimate claims of historical method by developing a dogmatic method. This method, in turn, was applied to the major problem raised by historical consciousness, namely, the person and nature of Jesus Christ. Christology, according to Forsyth's method, is centred on the atoning work of Christ, not on the historical Jesus. At the same time, Forsyth considered experience indispensable. He attempted to define experience theocentrically as the result of the encounter with the holiness and grace of God, not of a "religious a priori." Forsyth's theology suffers from conceptual confusion at several key points, especially in his Christology. However, he has made an important contribution to contemporary Christian thought by reorienting theology towards the objective holiness of God. By providing an alternative to liberalism on the one hand and Protestant orthodoxy on the other, he anticipated many of the issues that preoccupied Protestant thought following the First World War.Doctor of Philosophy (PhD
Abnormal discourse in semantic dementia: a data driven approach
No full textStructural and content-related deficits characterise connected discourse produced by patients with semantic dementia (SD). We used a principal components analysis to identify and characterise the sources of variation in word usage during picture description by healthy controls and SD patients. It was hypothesized that this data-driven approach would yield insights into the relationship between semantic degradation and any higher level structural deficits.
Transcripts of Cookie Theft picture descriptions provided by 21 patients with SD and 21 controls were used to generate frequency tables of all word types (n=557) across participants. Frequency values of words with ?10 occurrences (n=81) were entered into a principal components analysis. Values on the emergent dimensions were compared with performance on tests of single word meaning.
The first principal component accounted for 59% of the variance, and the second for a further 10%. Patient and control transcripts showed good separation within the resulting space. Factor loading scores indicated that control performance was characterized by function (factor 1) and content (factor 2) word usage, while patients showed a greater tendency to use pronouns, deictic and generic words, and the phrase “I do not know”. Tests of knowledge of single word meaning correlated with factor 1 but not with factor 2.
Differences in word usage alone can differentiate passages of connected speech produced by patients with SD from controls using a rapid, automated, data driven algorithm. The distinction between the two groups reflects seemingly independent differences in both structure and lexical conten
Subordinate but equal : the intra-Trinitarian subordination of the Son to the Father in the theologies of P. T. Forsyth and Jürgen Moltmann
No full textIn the New Testament and in the early church fathers’ writings, the Son is understood to be ontologically equal to the Father and subordinate to him. Whether understood as ingenerate-generate, sender-sent, commanded-obedient, subordination shows the distinction between the Father and Son. As seen in church history, minimizing these distinctions can lead to modalism and pressing them too far leads to Arianism.
In the Bible, obedience or subordination does not mean ontologically inferior. Rather, obedience results from faith and love. Although some fathers connected obedience to Christ’s humanity, they were doing so while rejecting the Arian argument that the Son’s obedience meant he was ontologically inferior. They affirmed the voluntary obedience of the Son as an expression of his love for the Father and rejected any sense of coercion or determinism. The doctrine of the eternal generation of the Son from the Father’s ousia held together the equality and subordination of the Son to the Father.
Beginning with Christ’s atoning work rather than metaphysics, P. T. Forsyth and Jürgen Moltmann believe that the Son’s obedience is crucial for the atonement to be the free act of grace of the Sovereign God. Because of this, the Son’s obedience must be divine, and thus eternal. Otherwise, the obedience would be from Christ’s humanity, and humanity would contribute in inappropriate ways to the atonement. They also believe that subordination, obedience, humility, and servanthood complete the understanding of divine love. The unity provided by the same divine love is expressed according to the particularity of the Person. In the Trinitarian relationship, the Son’s eternal obedience is his free response to the Father. Here subordination is not oppression, but perfect love freely given to the perfect Lover.
This fuller conception of divine love that a proper emphasis on obedience affords has great potential to help Trinitarain theology contribute to the elimination of oppression and the improvement of human relationships and to do so in a manner consistent with the biblical witness
