A performer's guide to the saxophone music of Sherwood Shaffer
No full text"During his career, composer Sherwood Shaffer has written thirteen concert works for the saxophone. These compositions represent a wide range of instrumentation from solo saxophone with piano, saxophone quartets and other chamber works, to solo saxophone with full orchestral accompaniment. Despite their quality, these works occupy a relatively unknown niche of the saxophone repertoire. The purpose of this study is to provide a brief biography of Sherwood Shaffer and an overview of his works for saxophone, to analyze sections from several representative pieces from the standpoint of performance preparation, and to provide an overview of stylistic and technical challenges found in common among his works. Three works, Summer Nocturne for alto saxophone and piano, Charades for violin, tenor saxophone, and piano, and Sinfonia for saxophone quartet, were chosen from the set of thirteen to serve as the primary examples for this research. In order to obtain information about the origins and influences behind these works, the composer and several of the musicians who commissioned them were interviewed. Insights into the difficulties found in these works as well as historical data regarding their composition and premiere performances were gathered. Technical and textural challenges found in these works were identified through performance analysis. Shaffer uses complex textures, and the active nature of his individual parts creates difficulty during rehearsal and preparation. When learning these pieces, performers must identify melodic themes as they are passed from instrument to instrument. Only through proper ensemble balance and stylistic interpretation do the important melodic themes prevail. Other factors including interpretation of accent marks, proper use of written dynamics, and awareness of common melodic structures are examined. "--Abstract from author supplied metadata

Shaffer v. Heitner: Holding, Implications, Forebodings
No full textThe landmark decision of Shaffer v. Heitner spelled out important constitutional limitations on the exercise of quasi-in-rem jurisdiction, but has nonetheless generated doubts and perplexity in its judicial aftermath. The author argues that the ultimate importance of Shaffer may relate less to its specific holdings regarding quasi-in-rem jurisdiction than to its broader perspective of attributing a constitutional dimension to the classical doctrine of the more convenient forum

Brecht in Shaffer: a Revision
No full textEn este trabajo se analiza la presencia de elementos de la poética brechtiana en el teatro del autor británico Peter Shaffer. Un sector de la crítica ha postulado que las principales obras de Shaffer se encuentran profundamente influidas por la poética teatral de Bertold Brecht; esto se advertiría especialmente en el repertorio de técnicas del alemán que son utilizadas por el británico. Un sector minoritario de la crítica incluye la obra de Shaffer dentro de dentro de otras tradiciones como el drama poético, el teatro de la crueldad y el existencialismo. El objetivo de esta investigación es revisar los alcances de la poética de Brecht en torno el teatro shafferiano. Esto implica polemizar con el modo en que se suelen pensar las influencias en el campo de la producción artística así como en el modo en que ha sido leída la poética de Brecht y adjudicada a otros dramaturgos.In this article we study te presence of Brecht’s poetics in Peter Shaffer’s work. Some critics have stated that this British author is deeply influenced by Brechtian theatrical poetics, given his use of a repertory of the German playwright’s techniques. A few other critics argue instead that Shaffer’s production is better understood in the light of some other traditions, such as poetic drama, theatre of cruelty and existencialism.
The aim of this study is to revise the contact between Brecht and Shaffer. This implies questioning the way in which influences are usually thought of and the way in which Brecht’s theory has been attributed to several dramatists.Facultad de Humanidades y Ciencias de la Educació
