A comprehensive curriculum for drum set in the college percussion studio.
No full textThe purpose of this study is to develop a comprehensive curriculum for drum set in the college percussion studio. The main emphasis of the paper is to provide information addressing the needs of the percussion student over a four-year course of drum set study. In addition, I will show how these needs can best be met through the use of both existing instructional materials and original supplemental materials written by the author. The need for a drum set curriculum is defined and an in-depth review made of selected extant materials. After defining the general guidelines for the curriculum, a limited number of instructional materials were chosen from the extant materials which could adequately and affordably fulfill these guidelines. Recommended studies for the freshman through senior years are outlined and instructional objectives defined

The Town Mouse and the Country Mouse
No full textAs this copy notes, this book was first published by Saalfield Publishing Company in 1942. It took many forms. Now Green Tiger Press, Blue Lantern Studio (who holds a 2007 copyright on the book), and Laughing Elephant Books are reproducing it in lovely fashion. The book is cut to the outline of the two marching mice on the front cover. The rest of the book does a good job of relating to that frame. The back cover's illustration is a mirror-opposite of the front cover. The color illustration work here is particularly fine. As I wrote of the original, multiple threats occur in the city house: from the cook, a trap, the cat, and the dog
Roberto Gerhard’s Sound Compositions: A Historical-Philological Perspective. Archive, Process, Intent and reenactment
No full textThis research advances the current state of knowledge in the field of early tape music both empirically and methodologically. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the impact that the electronic medium exerted in the musical thinking of Roberto Gerhard, one of the most outspoken, prolific and influential composers in the Spanish diaspora whose musical legacy, for the most part unknown, is a major landmark in the early history of electroacoustic music. Gerhard’s personal tape collection, one of the largest historical archives of its kind reported in the literature, is exceptional for both its antiquity (50+-year-old tapes) and its abundance of production materials. Through the digitisation and analysis of the composer’s tape collection this research argues that the empirical study of audio documents sets out a basis for a broader understanding of textual processes. More specifically, the research demonstrates that the reconstruction of works based on magnetic tape sketches is a powerful method to advance the understanding of early tape music. This research also examines Gerhard’s sound compositions in relation to the post-war context in which they were composed. Finally, this research presents performance documentation that proposes an approach to the electroacoustic music repertoire in which creativity is not at odds with rigor and critical discernment demonstrating that archival study can be closely aligned to the concept of re-enactment
Public bodies, private moments : method acting and American cinema in the 1950s
No full textThe thesis deals with two central issues:
a) the construction of a framework for the study of film acting which places
performance in a cultural context
b) the cultural significance of Method acting during the 1950s with specific
reference to American cinema of the period
The first chapter considers the ways in which the voice and body in film acting are made
meaningful in the context of beliefs about acting and personal identity. The chapter also
proposes ways for situating the practical activity of film acting in a context of cultural
production.
The remaining chapters study the cultural significance of Method acting through
separate analyses of the Method technique, style, representation of gender, and image of
star performance. Readings of the Method technique and style are placed in the context of
a `culture of personality', in which the significance of the Method was produced in the
ways that acting signified beliefs about personal identity. The discussion of the Method
style is then developed in the analysis of the ways in which the style was used in film
melodramas to represent the gendered anxieties of the rebel hero. Finally, Marlon
Brando's image and performances are studied for how the actor personified the meaning
of the Method. Together, technique, style, gender representation, and stardom, are
studied as various aspects of what is called the Method discourse

From SpaceStat to CyberGIS: Twenty Years of Spatial Data Analysis Software
No full textThis essay assesses the evolution of the way in which spatial data analytical methods have been incorporated into software tools over the past two decades. It is part retrospective and prospective, going beyond a historical review to outline some ideas about important factors that drove the software development, such as methodological advances, the open source movement and the advent of the internet and cyberinfrastructure. The review highlights activities carried out by the author and his collaborators and uses SpaceStat, GeoDa, PySAL and recent spatial analytical web services developed at the ASU GeoDa Center as illustrative examples. It outlines a vision for a spatial econometrics workbench as an example of the incorporation of spatial analytical functionality in a cyberGIS.
