[[alternative]]The Phantom of the Opera and the Cats by Andrew Lloyd Webber.
No full text[[abstract]]This paper studies the musical appreicative behavior of students of junior high school in respect to Broadway musical play. Study is focused on the musical plays “The Phantom of the Opera” and “The Cats” directed by Andrew Lloyd Webber. Survey study of descriptive research method is used in this paper. Results show students like these two plays very much and what they favour most is music in stead of story, costume, scene brought from the musical play. Suggestion is made to include these two musical plays in the musical appreciative course of junior high school. Some songs is also suggested if singing teaching is aimed.
Effective wave numbers for thermo-viscoelastic media containing random configurations of spherical scatterers
No full textThe dispersion relation is derived for the coherent waves in fluid or elastic media supporting viscous and thermal effects and containing randomly distributed spherical scatterers. The formula obtained is the generalization of Lloyd and Berry’s [Proc. Phys. Soc. London 91, 678–688 (1967)], the latter being limited to fluid host media, and it is the three-dimensional counterpart of that derived by Conoir and Norris [Wave Motion 47, 183–197 (2010)] for cylindrical scatterers in an elastic host medium.Peer reviewe
Textural and Harmonic Density in Selected Choral Works (1992--2003) by Eric Whitacre
No full text127 p.Thesis (D.M.A.)--University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2004.This document is an objective analysis of thirteen works composed between 1992 and 2003 by Eric Whitacre (b.1970). The author's experience in performing these choral works led him to believe that the composer's process had produced consistent stylistic traits between each composition. Published scholarly resources on this choral repertoire are non-existent; hence, the author developed his own system of analyzing Whitacre's choral music. Traditional, Roman-numeral analysis of this repertoire is only possible in a few segments throughout these works; a linear analysis was much more elucidating. The author created a system for mapping textural density variation on linear graphs. These graphs, combined with the author's explanation of Whitacre's voice-leading process, provide a clear understanding of Whitacre's compositional process. The author has concluded that in the works studied, Whitacre uses traditional melodies and triadic chord structures; he then creates harmonic and motion by adding or removing tones from the choral texture through specific voice leading techniques.U of I OnlyRestricted to the U of I community idenfinitely during batch ingest of legacy ETD

Commodity risk management and development
No full textIn 1995, 57 countries depended on three commodities for more than half their exports, reports UNCTAD. And commodities, fuels, grains, and oilseeds are important imports for several countries. The notorious volatility of commodity prices is a major source of instability and uncertainty in commodity-dependent countries, affecting governments, producers (farmers), traders, processors, and financial institutions. Further, commodity price instability has a negative impact on economic growth, income distribution, and poverty alleviation. Early attempts to deal with commodity price volatility relied on buffer stocks, buffer funds, government intervention in commodity markets, and international commodity agreements to stabilize prices. These were largely unsuccessful--sometimes spectacularly so. Buffer funds went bankrupt, commodity agreements were suspended, buffer stocks proved ineffective, and government intervention was both costlyand ineffective. As the poor performance of such stabilization schemes became more evident, academics and policymakers began distinguishing between programs that tried to alter price distribution (domestically or internationally) and programs that used market-based approaches for dealing with market uncertainty. This change in approach coincided with a significant rise in the use of market-based commodity risk management instruments--aided by the liberalization of markets, the lowering of trade and capital control barriers, and the globalization of commodity markets. by the mid-1990s, several governments, state companies, and private sector participants began using commodity derivatives markets to hedge their commodity price risks. Participation in those markets is growing, but important barriers to access remain including counterparty risk, problems small groups (such as farmers) have aggregating risks, basis risks (no correlation of local and international prices), no local reference prices, low liquidity, no derivatives markets for certain products, and low levels of know-how. International institutions, local governments, and the private sector could facilitate developing countries access to derivatives markets and the use of risk management tools to solve public sector problems.Economic Theory&Research,Payment Systems&Infrastructure,Environmental Economics&Policies,Markets and Market Access,Labor Policies,Health Economics&Finance,Insurance&Risk Mitigation,Environmental Economics&Policies,Access to Markets,Markets and Market Access
Harmony and discord within the English ‘counter-culture’, 1965-1975, with particular reference to the ‘rock operas’ Hair, Godspell, Tommy and Jesus Christ Superstar
No full textPhDThis thesis considers the discrete, historically-specific theatrical and musical sub-genre of ‘Rock Opera’ as a lens through which to examine the cultural, political and social changes that are widely assumed to have characterised ‘The Sixties’ in Britain. The musical and dramatic texts, creation and production of Hair (1967), Tommy (1969), Godspell (1971), Jesus Christ Superstar (1970) and other neglected ‘Rock Operas’ of the period are analysed. Their great popularity with ‘mainstream’ audiences is considered and contrasted with the overwhelmingly negative and often internally contradictory reaction towards them from the English ‘counter-culture’. This examination offers new insights into both the ‘counter-culture’ and the ‘mainstream’ against which it claimed to define and differentiate itself.
The four ‘Rock Operas’, two of which are based upon Christian scriptures, are considered as narratives of spiritual quest. The relationship between the often controversial quests for re-defined forms of faith and the apparently precipitous ‘secularization’ and ‘de-Christianization’ of British society during the 1960s and 1970s is considered.
The thesis therefore analyses the ‘Rock Operas’ as significant, enlightening prisms through which to view many of the profound societal debates – over ‘faith’ and ‘belief’ in the widest senses, sexuality, the Vietnam war, generational conflict, drugs and ‘spiritual enlightenment’, and race – which were, to some considerable extent, elevated onto the national, political agenda by the activities of the broadly-defined ‘counter-culture’. It considers subsequent representations of the ‘counter-culture’ as the root of a contested but enduring popular legacy of ‘The Sixties' as a period of profound cultural change

The origins and history of the special adviser, with particular reference to the 1964-70 Wilson Administrations.
No full textPhDSpecial advisers are temporary civil servants, of party political alignment,
appointed on a basis of individual ministerial patronage. Particularly since 1997,
there has been much interest in their activities. This work sets out to provide a
historical perspective on the subject, which is currently lacking. The long-term
background to the instigation of the special adviser and the circumstances in
which this innovation took place will be discussed. The central focus of this work
is upon the period 1964-70, during which, it will be argued, special advisers, as
they are now conceived, were first used. Full consideration is given to the
subjects of who special advisers were, what they did and why, as well as how they
functioned. Their official positions, in terms of matters such as job titles, pay,
access to information and rules governing their conduct, will be investigated.
Also of importance will be an understanding of their relations with each other,
career civil servants and ministers. All of these themes will be extrapolated
beyond the period in which special advisers were first used, through to the present
day. Most importantly, an explanation of the collective significance of special
advisers will be attempted. A core thesis, that they are best understood in terms of
their relations with their employing ministers, will be proposed, along with a
number of possible alternative interpretations. Primary material, including
memoirs, diaries, personal and institutional papers, Public Record Office files and
interviews, will form the most important basis for this work. Much of this will be
examined for the first time in the context of the special adviser. Secondary sources will also be drawn upon. It is concluded that special advisers were a
complex phenomenon and no single interpretation fits them entirely.
Nevertheless, the relationship with the employing minister was, at times,
extremely important
