The Profundity of Polychoralism: Exploring the work of Jonathan David Little [Interview and CD review]
No full textExtended (7000-word) composer interview and CD review of "Woefully Arrayed: Sacred & Secular Choral & Polychoral Music of Jonathan David Little", by London-based international music critic, Colin Clarke.
[INTERVIEW:] "The disc of sacred and secular choral and polychoral music by Jonathan David Little, Woefully Arrayed … is nothing short of remarkable. Stunningly recorded, the pure sonic joy is visceral. On a personal level, I haven’t experienced such revelation in choral terms since the Tallis Scholars’ first recording of the Allegri Miserere. As an interviewee, it turns out, Little is every inch as fascinating as his music. The following in-depth interview may be seen as an indispensable complement to the listening experience itself."
[CD REVIEW:] "Jonathan David Little is a composer whose music is vital, urgent and yet somehow timeless at the same time. … Woefully Arrayed has a mesmeric element to it … [and] is a masterpiece of time-stretching. As lines float and interact throughout the soundspace, there is a distinct impression of atemporality, of altering the way the listener experiences time. … sound is superb, full and reverberant … magnificently handled … A superb disc, one that simply gets better on each and every listening. There is a radiance to Little’s writing that seems shot through with spiritual light and which speaks on a very deep level to the listener."
PROJECT OVERVIEW: International Polychoral Music Composition, Recording and Dissemination Project (2015-17)
“The lost potential of the acoustics of performing spaces begins to be rediscovered in these works.”
A complex and ambitious, large-scale, two-year “polychoral” music creation and recording project was commissioned by the Australia Council – involving communicating how “re-discovered” ancient Renaissance and Baroque techniques of acoustically-innovative performer placement may be revived within new, original, contemporary contexts. One aim was to generate interest in largely long-forgotten, but still hugely useful and aurally impressive composition methods. Following a period of research and experimentation, several new, accessible choral works were created – most featuring intricate, a cappella, polychoral-inspired techniques. Therefore different sections of the choir, or different “sub-choirs” and/or vocal soloists, are sometimes placed in various arrangements around and above the audience (occasionally also involving movement). Due to the incorporation of such techniques, a striking extra dimension is added both to recordings and live performances – where the aural “spatial” interest creates a quasi-theatrical effect.

Decomposition of the Little v : Possessors of Interest
Get PDFP(論文)Since the little v was introduced into the Minimalist syntax (Larson 1988, Hale and Keyser 1993, Chomsky 1995: chap.3, Collins 1997, among others), its θ-role assignment mechanism has been frequently discussed. There have been two approaches of dealing with the properties of v: the feature-specification system which leads to four types of v is proposed by Hasegawa (2001) on one hand, and split-v analyses have been proposed on the other (cf. Bowers 2002, Pylkkanen 2002, and Tonosaki 2003). Developing Hasegawa's analysis, we propose decomposition of v through the examination of data of non-Agentive sentences, especially those which we call Possessive-Relationship Constructions (PRCs). We also argue that the proposed system is preferable in terms of Burzio's Generalization (Burzio 1981, 1986)departmental bulletin pape
An X-ray Crystallographic Study of 1,4-Di[(E)-2-(p-tolyl)-1- diazenyl]piperazine
No full textThe crystal structure of methyl 1,4-di[(E)-2-
(p-tolyl)-1-diazenyl]piperazine (4) has been determined by
single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. The bis-triazene (4)
adopts a normal chair conformation in the piperazine
ring, with puckering parameters : u2 =-29(5)°,QT =
0.534(2) A and theta2 = 177.0(2)°. The crystal structure of 4 is
compared with the structure of the triazene (2a) and the
closely related bis-triazenes (3 and 5a). The piperazine ring
of 2a and 4 adopt a typical chair conformation, whereas the
piperazine ring of 3 adopts an unusual pseudo-boat confor-
mation. Crystal data: 4 C18H22N6, triclinic, space group

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
