# Stephen Scott (composer)

Stephen Scott (October 10, 1944 – March 10, 2021) was an American composer best known for his development of the bowed piano. This is a form of extended technique which involves a grand piano being played by an ensemble of ten musicians who utilize lengths of rosined horsehair, nylon filament, and other utensils to bow the strings of the piano, creating an orchestra-like sound. Scott borrowed the technique from C. Curtis-Smith, who invented it in 1972. Scott founded the Bowed Piano Ensemble in 1977, for which he composed. His work is associated with the minimalist style of composition.
Scott studied with Homer Keller at the University of Oregon and subsequently with Ron Nelson and Gerald Shapiro. He taught music at Colorado College from 1969 to 2014, becoming a full professor there in 1989. He also taught at Evergreen State College and has served as visiting composer at the Aspen Music School, New England Conservatory of Music, Princeton University, the University of Southern California, and at several universities and conservatories in Australia and Europe.
Several recordings with Scott's Bowed Piano Ensemble have been released by New Albion Records, Albany Records, and Navona Records. Scott has performed and composed pieces in a thirteen limit tuning by Terry Riley.

## Life

James Atlay was born in Wakerley, Northamptonshire, the son of Henry Atlay (Rector of Great Casterton) and Elizabeth Rayner Hovell. His younger brother Brownlow Atlay (1832–1912) was Archdeacon of Calcutta.
Educated at Oakham School, Atlay entered St John's College, Cambridge, where he held a fellowship from 1846 to 1859. He was vicar of Madingley, near Cambridge, from 1847 to 1852, and Queen's preacher at the Chapel Royal, Whitehall, 1857. He occupied the position of a senior tutor in his college at the time he was elected in 1859 to the vicarage of Leeds. Atlay was appointed a canon of Ripon Cathedral in 1861.
In 1867, he refused the bishopric of Calcutta, but in the following year accepted the bishopric of Hereford, in succession to Renn Hampden.
He possessed great organising ability and an attractive personality and was described by Edward White Benson, Archbishop of Canterbury, as "the most beautiful combination of enthusiasm, manliness and modesty."

Atlay married in 1859 Frances Turner, younger daughter of William Martin, a major of the Bengal Army. Atlay died on 24 December 1894 aged 77 and is buried in Hereford Cathedral where he has a magnificent memorial in the north transept, the work of James Forsyth.

On the completion of his episcopate, Atlay was presented with a picture of himself by Edward Arthur Fellowes Prynne from the Diocese of Hereford. In 1893, another portrait was painted by John Collier. Both were in the possession of Mrs Atlay, and replicas of the latter were hung in the Bishop's Palace at Hereford, and in the combination room at St John's College, Cambridge.

# Pjetër Meshkalla High School

Pjetër Meshkalla High School (Shkolla e Mesme Pjetër Meshkalla) is a private Roman Catholic secondary school located in Shkodra, Albania. Founded in 1877 by Jesuits from Sicily, the school is named for the Jesuit Peter Meshkalla, martyr of the Communist era. Shkodër Jesuit College was a Jesuit college in Shkodër, in northwestern Albania. The college has traditionally been an important centre of scholarly study into Albanian literature and language.

## History

The beginning of the Jesuit presence in Albania was in 1841 with some Jesuits from Sicily, while Albania was still under the Ottoman Empire and lacked the boundaries it has today. Evangelism remained problematic but in 1854 the Office of the Vatican Missionary Bishops and Albanians opened a seminary in Shkodra for the southern Balkans, entrusted to the Italian Jesuits. The college was started in 1877, as a Xavier college (Albanian: Kolegji Saverian).
In 1877 the Jesuits opened Shkodër Saverian College, first as a trade school and then as a classic liceum after the 1912 declaration of Albania's independence from the Ottoman Empire. This was accompanied by itinerant missionary work, alongside cultural, religious, artistic, musical, and theatrical groups, and publication of the magazine Immaculate Conception. In 1944 the communists came to power. Repression and persecution of Catholics followed. Among the 40 deemed martyrs in Albania during this period were Fr. Daniel Dajan, Rector of the College and Saverian Seminary. and Brother John Pantalia who ran the publishing house. The distinguished poet Ndre Mjeda taught at the Jesuit college from 1930.
Only in 1990 did a new regime lead to the return of the Jesuits. In February 1992 they opened in the Shkodra Archbishopric a minor seminary. In 1994 they regained the property of the former Saverian College. A technical school and high school, recognized by the State, emerged. A seminary for all Albania, including philosophy and theology, opened in 1998 with help from Renovabis and the Italian Jesuits.
Middle School "Pjetër Meshkalla" replaced the earlier Xaverian College, and has since 1998 grown into a secondary school accommodating 500 students (60% girls) in 18 classes. Their religious background is Christian (75% – mostly Catholics, some Orthodox) and Muslim (25%). About 25% are village children.
In 2000 the seminary split off from the middle school. On 29 June 2000 the first priests trained locally were ordained since the communist period. The School of Higher Studies of Philosophy and Theology is a promoter of the Albanian language and of dialogue with the Orthodox Church and with Islam.
