Direct-drive experiments at the University of Rochester's OMEGA laser [T. R. Boehly, R. L. McCrory, C. P. Verdon et al., Fusion Eng. Des. 44, 35 (1999)] have been performed to prototype eventual campaigns on the National Ignition Facility (NIF) [E. I. Moses and C. R. Wuest, Fusion Sci. Technol. 43, 420 (2003)] to investigate the mixing of target materials. Spherical-implosion targets with equatorial defects have been irradiated with polar direct drive, a requirement for direct-drive experiments at NIF. The physics question addressed by these results is whether simulations can match data on 0th-order hydrodynamics and implosion symmetry, the most basic implosion features, with and without the defect. The successful testing of hydrodynamic simulations leads to better designs for experiments and guides accurate planning for polar-direct-drive-ignition studies on the NIF platform.
An all-fiber source of pulsed twin beams for quantum communication
Authors: Guo Xueshi , Li Xiaoying , Liu Nannan , Yang Lei , Ou Z. Y.
Published: January 2013

Motivated by the pursuit of a simple system to produce a continuous variable non-classical light source for long-distance quantum communication, we construct an all-fiber source of pulsed twin beams in the 1550 nm band by using a high gain fiber optical parametric amplifier. The intensity-difference noise of the twin beams is below the shot noise limit by 3.1 dB (10.4 dB after correction for losses). A detailed study reveals a number of limiting factors for noise reduction. Therefore, further noise reduction will be feasible once care is taken for these limiting factors.
Controlled electroluminescence of n-ZnMgO/p-GaN light-emitting diodes
Authors: Goh E. S. M. , Yang H. Y. , Han Z. J. , Chen T. P. , Ostrikov K.
Published: January 2013

Effective control of room-temperature electroluminescence of n-ZnMgO/p-GaN light-emitting diodes (LEDs) over both emission intensity and wavelength is demonstrated. With varied Mg concentration, the intensity of LEDs in the near-ultraviolet region is increased due to the effective radiative recombination in the ZnMgO layer. Furthermore, the emission wavelength is shifted to the green/yellow spectral region by employing an indium-tin-oxide thin film as the dopant source, where thermally activated indium diffusion creates extra deep defect levels for carrier recombination. These results clearly demonstrate the effectiveness of controlled metal incorporation in achieving high energy efficiency and spectral tunability of the n-ZnMgO/p-GaN LED devices.
Review Article: Quasi-phase-matching engineering of entangled photons
Authors: Xu P. , Zhu S. N.
Published: January 2013

Quasi-phase-matching (QPM) technique has been successfully applied in nonlinear optics, such as optical frequency conversion. Recently, remarkable advances have been made in the QPM generation and manipulation of photon entanglement. In this paper, we review the current progresses in the QPM engineering of entangled photons, which are finished mainly by our group. By the design of concurrent QPM processes insides a single nonlinear optical crystal, the spectrum of entangled photons can be extended or shaped on demand, also the spatial entanglement can be transformed by transverse inhomogeneity of domain modulation, resulting in new applications in path-entanglement, quantum Talbot effects, quantum imaging etc. Combined with waveguide structures and the electro-optic effect, the entangled photons can be generated, then guided and phase-controlled within a single QPM crystal chip. QPM devices can act as a key ingredient in integrated quantum information processing.
Angle-resolved photoemission studies of the superconducting gap symmetry in Fe-based superconductors
Authors: Huang Y.-B. , Richard P. , Wang X.-P. , Qian T. , Ding H.
Published: January 2013

The superconducting gap is the fundamental parameter that characterizes the superconducting state, and its symmetry is a direct consequence of the mechanism responsible for Cooper pairing. Here we discuss about angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy measurements of the superconducting gap in the Fe-based high-temperature superconductors. We show that the superconducting gap is Fermi surface dependent and nodeless with small anisotropy, or more precisely, a function of the momentum location in the Brillouin zone. We show that while this observation seems inconsistent with weak coupling approaches for superconductivity in these materials, it is well supported by strong coupling models and global superconducting gaps. We also suggest that a smaller lifetime of the superconducting Cooper pairs induced by the momentum dependent interband scattering inherent to these materials could affect the residual density of states at low energies, which is critical for a proper evaluation of the superconducting gap.
Enhancement of optical effects in zero-reflection metal slabs based on light-tunneling mechanism in metamaterials
Authors: Jiang Haitao , Chen Hong , Li Yunhui , Du Guiqiang , Xue Chunhua , Lu Hai
Published: January 2013

Metals have many extraordinary optical properties. However, thick metals are nice mirrors, which prevent light penetrating deep into them. Since the skin depth is very thin, most optical properties of bulk metals are unavailable. In this paper, we review the way of reducing reflections in thick metal slabs by coating dielectric photonic crystals, based on the light-tunneling mechanism in metamaterials. Owing to the boost of local fields in the metals, many optical effects such as nonlinear effects, optical extinction (absorption) and optical rotation are greatly enhanced in these simple structures. The enhancement of optical effects in thick metals may be very useful in some optical devices including optical switches and diodes, absorbers, insulators and so on.
Assembling optically active and nonactive metamaterials with chiral units
Authors: Xiong Xiang , Jiang Shang-Chi , Hu Yu-Hui , Zhao Jun-Ming , Feng Yi-Jun , Peng Ru-Wen , Wang Mu
Published: January 2013

Metamaterials constructed with chiral units can be either optically active or nonactive depending on the spatial configuration of the building blocks. For a class of chiral units, their effective induced electric and magnetic dipoles, which originate from the induced surface electric current upon illumination of incident light, can be collinear at the resonant frequency. This feature provides significant advantage in designing metamaterials. In this paper we concentrate on several examples. In one scenario, chiral units with opposite chiralities are used to construct the optically nonactive metamaterial structure. It turns out that with linearly polarized incident light, the pure electric or magnetic resonance (and accordingly negative permittivity or negative permeability) can be selectively realized by tuning the polarization of incident light for 90°. Alternatively, units with the same chirality can be assembled as a chiral metamaterial by taking the advantage of the collinear induced electric and magnetic dipoles. It follows that for the circularly polarized incident light, negative refractive index can be realized. These examples demonstrate the unique approach to achieve certain optical properties by assembling chiral building blocks, which could be enlightening in designing metamaterials.
Microscopic four-point-probe resistivity measurements of shallow, high density doping layers in silicon
Authors: Polley Craig M. , Clarke Warrick R. , Miwa Jill A. , Simmons Michelle Y. , Wells Justin W.
Published: January 2013

We present room temperature resistivity measurements of shallow, monolayer doped phosphorus in silicon, a material system of interest for both conventional microelectronic manufacturing, and future quantum electronic devices. Using an in-situ variable spacing microscopic four-probe system, we demonstrate the ability to separate the conductivity of the substrate and the doping layer. We show that the obtained sensitivity to the dopant layer derives from a combination of the nanoscale contacting areas and the conductivity difference between the highly doped 2D layer and the substrate. At an encapsulation depth of only 4 nm, we demonstrate a room temperature resistivity of 1.4 kΩ/◻.
Subterahertz electromagnetic wave generation in a randomly networked single-walled carbon nanotubes photoconductive switch
Authors: Shin Jun-Hwan , Park Jeong-Woo , Han Sang-Pil , Debnath Pulak C. , Song Yong-Won , Kim Namje , Ryu Han-Cheol , Ko Hyunsung , Hyun Park Kyung
Published: January 2013

We demonstrated an electromagnetic (EM) wave generation that reaches up to 250 GHz in the photoconductive switch based on randomly networked single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs). Furthermore, we investigated the bias dependence of the electromagnetic wave amplitudes. This subterahertz radiation is generated by the acceleration of photogenerated carriers through fluctuation-induced tunneling in single-walled carbon nanotube bundles. Below the bias field of 20 kV/cm, the signal was enhanced with an increase in the bias field. However, the signal amplitudes decreased above 20 kV/cm due to emerging space-charge accumulation and scattering effect occurring at the defects and contact points.
Nanoscale study of the current transport through transrotational NiSi/n-Si contacts by conductive atomic force microscopy
Authors: Alberti Alessandra , Giannazzo Filippo
Published: January 2013

The average electrical behaviour of transrotational NiSi layers used as contacts in diode structures on n-type Si was correlated to the local structure and conduction paths inside each domain by using conductive-atomic force microscopy. It was found that, independently of the domain orientation, the central portion of the domain (core ∼ 20 nm) possesses a Schottky barrier lower than in the rest of the structure. This was ascribed to an effect of the structural coupling between the NiSi lattice and the silicon substrate as realised at the interface in virtue of the pseudoepitaxial relationship established since the early stages of the reaction.
Investigation of induced Pt magnetic polarization in Pt/Y3Fe5O12 bilayers

Published: January 2013

Using X-ray magnetic circular dichroism (XMCD) measurements, we explore the possible existence of induced magnetic moments in thin Pt films deposited onto the ferrimagnetic insulator yttrium iron garnet (Y3Fe5O12). Such a magnetic proximity effect is well established for Pt/ferromagnetic metal heterostructures. Indeed, we observe a clear XMCD signal at the Pt L3 edge in Pt/Fe bilayers, while no such signal can be discerned in XMCD traces of Pt/Y3Fe5O12 bilayers. Integrating the XMCD signals allows to estimate an upper limit for the induced Pt magnetic polarization in Pt/Y3Fe5O12 bilayers.
Implicit phonon shifts and thermodynamical properties of rigid carbon nanotube bunches
Authors: Gupta Shuchi , Dharamvir K. , Jindal V. K.
Published: January 2013

We calculate phonon shifts of external modes of a bunch of carbon nanotubes. The bunches form a 2-dimensional hexagonal arrangement of lattice with long molecules of carbon nanotubes. A simple model based on atom-atom potential has been used to calculate the implicit anharmonicity in the phonons of carbon nanotube bundles (also called ropes or bunches) having rigid tubes, with the assumption that under hydrostatic pressure only the inter-tube distance in the bunch varies. Various bulk and thermodynamic properties like thermal expansion, bulk modulus and the Gruneisen constants and external phonon shifts which naturally enter into the calculation are also described and compared with the available data. The specific heat capacity has also been calculated.
Effect of residual chips on the material removal process of the bulk metallic glass studied by in situ scratch testing inside the scanning electron microscope
Authors: Huang Hu , Zhao Hongwei , Shi Chengli , Wu Boda , Fan Zunqiang , Wan Shunguang , Geng Chunyang
Published: January 2013

Research on material removal mechanism is meaningful for precision and ultra-precision manufacturing. In this paper, a novel scratch device was proposed by integrating the parasitic motion principle linear actuator. The device has a compact structure and it can be installed on the stage of the scanning electron microscope (SEM) to carry out in situ scratch testing. Effect of residual chips on the material removal process of the bulk metallic glass (BMG) was studied by in situ scratch testing inside the SEM. The whole removal process of the BMG during the scratch was captured in real time. Formation and growth of lamellar chips on the rake face of the Cube-Corner indenter were observed dynamically. Experimental results indicate that when lots of chips are accumulated on the rake face of the indenter and obstruct forward flow of materials, materials will flow laterally and downward to find new location and direction for formation of new chips. Due to similar material removal processes, in situ scratch testing is potential to be a powerful research tool for studying material removal mechanism of single point diamond turning, single grit grinding, mechanical polishing and grating fabrication.
Theoretical study of lithium clusters by electronic stress tensor
Authors: Ichikawa Kazuhide , Nozaki Hiroo , Komazawa Naoya , Tachibana Akitomo
Published: January 2013

We study the electronic structure of small lithium clusters Lin (n = 2 ∼ 8) using the electronic stress tensor. We find that the three eigenvalues of the electronic stress tensor of the Li clusters are negative and degenerate, just like the stress tensor of liquid. This leads us to propose that we may characterize a metallic bond in terms of the electronic stress tensor. Our proposal is that in addition to the negativity of the three eigenvalues of the electronic stress tensor, their degeneracy characterizes some aspects of the metallic nature of chemical bonding. To quantify the degree of degeneracy, we use the differential eigenvalues of the electronic stress tensor. By comparing the Li clusters and hydrocarbon molecules, we show that the sign of the largest eigenvalue and the differential eigenvalues could be useful indices to evaluate the metallicity or covalency of a chemical bond.
Transforming practice in Design and Technology: evidence from a classroom‐based research study of students' responses to an intervention on inclusive design

Published: January 2013

This article offers evidence from a classroom‐based research study in English secondary schools which developed an innovative approach to teaching in Design and Technology based on inclusive design (also known as universal design). The research evidence highlights how creative, problem‐solving approaches in Design and Technology can be used to provide authentic, engaging learning experiences for students. This study, entitled ‘Designing our Tomorrows', introduced secondary school teachers and students to the principles and practices of inclusive design through an intervention using specially designed resources. In this article, findings from the study%s qualitative pre‐ and post‐intervention interviews are presented to illustrate how this type of approach can stimulate students' creativity and understanding of design.
Parish Church Musicians in England in the Reign of Elizabeth I (1558–1603): An annotated register
Authors: Smith Alan
Published: January 2013

Contrary to popular belief, music in English parish churches did not cease during the reign of Elizabeth I. Admittedly, parish church music-making did not flourish, and many puritans objected, in their published pamphlets, to the use of polyphony in church services, but music did not stop altogether. The criticisms contained in the pamphlets were aimed especially at the cathedrals, though many parish churches at the beginning of the reign undoubtedly possessed choirs which sang polyphony.
A Short-Title List of Printed English Instrumental Tutors Up to 1800, Held in British Libraries
Authors: Simpson Adrienne
Published: January 2013

This list was compiled in connection with a study of amateur music-making in London during the later seventeenth century which forms part of my Ph. D work in the Music Faculty of King's College, London. While attempting to discover just what instruments amateur musicians of that time favoured, and what standard of efficiency they might be likely to reach on them, I made a close study of the extant instrumental tutors for the period. The material proved to be so fascinating that I extended the dates, and the result is the list printed here.

A Textual-Musical Inventory and Concordance of Munich University MS 328–331
Authors: Smithers Don
Published: January 2013

Munich University MS. 328–331 is an important early 16th-century musical repertory. Its contents of 145 pieces are largely of German origin and most settings are of the genre referred to as Tenorlied. Whereas the majority of pieces in this repertory exist in at least one other source, many settings are unique and have no known concordances. Most of the composers represented by this collection were closely associated with the court of the Holy Roman Emperor Maximilian I, whose large musical establishment at Innsbruck at the beginning of the sixteenth century included Isaac, Hofhaimer, Senfl, Adam Rener and Heinrich Finck. The number of vocal and instrumental performers in Maximilian's “Capelle” is not only substantiated by several surviving contemporary inventories and payment records, but such pictorial evidence as the famous and frequently reproduced series of woodcuts, The Triumph of Maximilian I. The several musical illustrations among the 136 reproductions by Hans Burgkmair, Albrecht Altdorfer, Hans Springinklee, Hans Scháuffelein, Leonhard Beck and Albrecht Dúrer, corroborate the court records and give some idea of the way in which instruments and singers were combined in different kinds of musical performance. The musical repertory of Munich University 328–331 (hereafter abbreviated and simply referred to as Mub), is just the sort of music described in the various “Schrifttafel” that were intended to be printed with the woodcut illustrations.
A Seventeenth-Century Source of Ornamentation for Voice and Viol: British Museum MS. Egerton 2971
Authors: Cyr Mary
Published: January 2013

Many aspects of the performance of early seventeenth-century monodic song remain a mystery. On the basis of the musical notation alone, we might be tempted to wonder, as did Charles Burney,

… how pleasing effects could be produced by such simple, unadorned, and almost unaccompanied melodies …. the expression of the Music of this period in Italy is so entirely lost, that, like a dead language, no one is certain how it was pronounced.
A Catalogue and Bibliography of English Song From Its Beginnings to

c

1300
Authors: Page Christopher
Published: January 2013

This catalogue lists all the twelfth- and thirteenth-century songs with English words known to exist, and is designed to be of interest to the transcriber, performer and general student of medieval English music. Although there are only nineteen items surviving from the period in question a number have never been published either in facsimile or transcription. A forthcoming appendix to this catalogue will include facsimiles of previously unpublished manuscripts to encourage work on new transcriptions and scrutiny of available ones. It is to be hoped that musicians who have already given much attention to the thirteenth-century repertoires of France and Spain will begin to perform these first English songs more frequently.
What Song the Sirens Sang: Problems and Conjectures in Ancient Greek Music
Authors: Anderson Warren
Published: January 2013

‘What Song the Syrens sang, or what name Achilles assumed when he hid himself among women, though puzling Questions are not beyond all conjecture.’ Across three centuries, this comment by Sir Thomas Browne (ed. Keynes 1964, 1:165) offers a measure of comfort to students of the music of Greek antiquity. The measure is necessarily a modest one: in fixing upon the term ‘conjecture’, he chose better than he knew.
Register of Theses on Music in Britain and Ireland
Authors: Sandon Nick
Published: January 2013

The last complete issue of this register appeared some six years ago in volume 11 of the Research Chronicle. A new issue, taking into account projects subsequently begun, completed or abandoned, is overdue. As the previous compiler stated, the purpose of the register is to ‘assist scholars, in this and other countries, by indicating work carried out in a particular field: it is in no way intended to inhibit others from entering the same field’. The last point is reinforced by the fact that, to the best of my knowledge, work has been effectively abandoned on almost half of the projects described in the last issue of the register as ‘in progress’.
Harpsichords, Clavichords and Similar Instruments in Madrid in the Second Half of the Eighteenth Century
Authors: De Pascual Beryl Kenyon
Published: January 2013

Information on old Spanish keyboard instruments (excluding the organ) is scanty owing to the small number of surviving examples and the paucity of first-hand documentation. Secondary sources can thus provide useful data to fill in some gaps. This article is based on a study of the sales and wants advertisements appearing in the Madrid daily newspaper from February 1758 to December 1799.
Concerto No. 6 in F Minor: By Johann Christian Bach?
Authors: Stevens Jane R.
Published: January 2013

Although Johann Christian Bach is best known today as a composer of operas and symphonies, his earliest large-scale works were keyboard concertos. In fact, the only incontestably authentic works that date from before his move to Italy in 1754 are the five concertos in autograph score that are now bound together as Bach Mus. MS P 390 in the Staaatsbibliothek Preussischer Kulturbesitz in Berlin (D-brd-B). Since these manuscripts were included in Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach's estate list at his death in 1788, it is assumed that the works were composed before Christian left for Italy, and most probably after he came to live in Berlin with his older half-brother following their father's death in 1750. These five works have recently appeared, in an edition by Richard Maunder, in the Complete Works of Christian Bach now being published by the Garland Press. Those with some knowledge of the youngest Bach's keyboard concertos may be somewhat surprised to find, however, that the volume of the earliest concertos contains not only the five works that make up the autograph manuscript P 390 but a sixth concerto as well. This work, in f minor, has a relatively extensive and confused manuscript tradition, and has not always been accepted as authentic. Since the editor offers only a brief statement supporting its inclusion in the critical edition, further comment is perhaps in order.
Register of Theses on Music in Britain and Ireland Supplement 6
Authors: Bartlett Ian , Sarnaker Benedict
Published: January 2013

The list of theses which appears below is the first to be prepared with the aid of the Goldsmiths’ College Music Department's computer. Following the practice adopted in the previous edition of the Supplement, a separate author and subject matter index has been compiled. However, the computer programme has facilitated the production of an additional index which identifies the University and/or College of origin of all theses listed below. Furthermore, the indexes make reference to the complete list of dissertations included in this Supplement rather than being confined, as has been the case hitherto, to theses appearing for the first time, i.e. in Sections I, II and III. While the subject index is rather less detailed, and cross-indexing is not as extensive as formerly, it is hoped that readers will be able to locate the information they are seeking at least as readily as in earlier editions.
Catalogue of Early Printed Music in Aberdeen Libraries Supplement, 1979–1988

This article is a supplement to Barry Cooper's catalogue of 1978 (see below, References). No musical items published before 1801 have entered Aberdeen Public Library since 1979. Of the four Aberdeen University collections mentioned below, Dep is in the library of the Department of Music, while SB and Lib R are in King's College Library. In the course of his original introduction, Barry Cooper mentioned the University's “copyright collection” (p.4), and the inadequacy of its catalogue. Richard Turbet is compiling a checklist of the contents of this collection's 297 volumes, now located within Aberdeen University Library and known as The Stationers’ Hall Collection. As to private collections, Roger Williams has catalogued those in Grampian Region in the care of the National Trust for Scotland, and the catalogues are being prepared for publication. There is early music in the collections at Castle Fraser, Drum Castle, Leith Hall and Brodie Castle. The Montcoffer House private collection, listed in Appendix 3 of the original catalogue, is now housed at Aberdeen University Library MS 2861.
Musicians and Librettists in the Correspondence of Gio. Giacomo Zamboni (Oxford, Bodleian Library, Mss Rawlinson Letters 116–138)
Authors: Lindgren Lowell
Published: January 2013

Gio. Giacomo Zamboni, merchant, diplomat and amateur harpsichordist, was born in Florence on 26 July 1683, arrived in London late in 1711 and lived there until his death on 8 April 1753. His career closely parallels that of George Frideric Handel, composer, manager and harpsichordist, who was born in Hanover in 1685, arrived in London late in 1710 and lived there from late 1712 until his death in 1759. When these two men arrived in London, opera in Italian was a novelty at the Queen's Theatre in the Haymarket, which had just begun to employ Italian singers, instrumentalists, composers, librettists and stage designers. During the ensuing decades, there was an unprecedented influx of Italian performers and creators who, like Handel and other ‘outlandish’ personnel at this theatre, found that salaries were higher, working conditions were better and freedom was greater in England than in their own lands. Many therefore stayed as long as possible, and their artistic accomplishments as well as their intricate interactions with British and foreign patrons, diplomats, merchants and musicians are fascinating endeavours that deserve detailed study. At present, the best survey is that in George Dorris, Paolo Rolli and the Italian Circle in London, 1715–44 (The Hague and Paris, 1967), which focuses upon literary accomplishments. The essential base for any such study must, of course, be primary source materials, which include letters and other documents as well as librettos and scores. My hope is that the passages cited below from 458 items, most of which have never before been printed, will significantly broaden our base for study of ‘the Italian circle’ in London between 1716 and 1750.
Two Accounts for the Chapel of René of Anjou (1449–54)
Authors: Allinson Louise
Published: January 2013

René of Anjou (1409–80) was a major figure in the French royal family in the fifteenth century. He inherited some of his titles and lands from his brother Louis III, held previously by his father Louis II and grandfather Louis I (the second son of John II, King of France). But marriage and politics had also increased the wealth and power of the Angevins, adding to the Dukedom of Anjou the Dukedoms of Lorraine and of Bar, the County of Provence, the Kingdoms of Sicily and of Naples, and the title of King of Jerusalem. In the later phases of the Anglo-French conflicts of the fifteenth century René initially supported the Anglo-Burgundian alliance, but later (by 16 July 1429) he transferred his allegiance to the French crown. Captured by the Burgundians at the Battle of Bulgneville on 2 July 1431, he was held prisoner at Dijon until 1437. He was granted provisional liberty between 1432 and 1434, and again in 1435, and was finally released in 1437 after payment of a large ransom.
Fifteenth-Century English Liturgical Music: A List of the Surviving Repertory
Authors: Curtis Gareth , Wathey Andrew
Published: January 2013

The Early English Church Music Committee of the British Academy plans a series of volumes devoted to the music of the fifteenth century, to be supervised by a separate sub-committee. While not constituting a publication list as such, the present enterprise has been commissioned to facilitate the speedier publication of this repertory. Hence, its purpose is to assemble as full as possible a catalogue of the surviving liturgical music that is now thought to be (or has, with varying degrees of certainty, been thought to be) English or to have been written in England. Accordingly, it draws on the work of a considerable number of scholars. The compilers wish to acknowledge the contributions generously made by other members of the EECM fifteenth-century sub-committee, and they also extend a fervent invitation to others to contribute further.
The Gresley Dance Collection, c.1500
Authors: Fallows David
Published: January 2013

It is a slightly embarrassing story. In 1984 Mr Adrian Bassett sent me xeroxes of four pages of monophonic English dance melodies that he had received from the Derbyshire Record Office. Quite why they made so little impact on me at the time is long forgotten. But the information that came with them suggested that they were Elizabethan; I passed on some details to a few scholars concerned with such matters and effectively forgot them. In any case, Derbyshire may stretch to within ten miles of my home in Manchester, but the accident of both roads and public transport means that the County Record Office in Matlock is easier to reach from London. So it was a full eleven years later that I mentioned them in passing to another colleague, who showed an active interest. I pulled out the old xeroxes and realised with a shock that they must be from nearer 1500 and therefore far closer to my own urgent concerns.
Crotch, Moore, and the 1808 Birmingham Festival
Authors: Olleson Philip
Published: January 2013

On 22 August 1808 William Crotch wrote at length to Joseph Moore to discuss a number of detailed matters concerning that year's Birmingham festival, due to begin on 5 October. Moore was the festival's principal organizer; Crotch was in the press advertisements described as its ‘conductor‘—by which was meant that he directed performances from the keyboard—but here will be referred to as its musical director, a term carrying no misleading implications of baton-wielding, and encompassing his part in the planning of the festival. Crotch's letter is the only surviving letter of substance from what was clearly an extended exchange of correspondence between him and Moore on festival matters, and is of twofold significance. First, together with information from other sources, it is a valuable source of information about the music that was performed at the festival. Second, as a unique example for the period of a letter from a festival's musical director to its organizer, it sheds light on some of the details of putting on a festival: such issues as the balance of power and division of responsibilities between musical director and organizer, the timetable of the planning of the festival, and a number of matters of performing practice.
Keyboard Music in the Hands of Edward Lowe and Richard Goodson I: Oxford, Christ Church Mus. 1176 and Mus. 1177
Authors: Bailey Candace
Published: January 2013

The circumstances surrounding the compilation of many seventeenth-century English keyboard manuscripts remain unknown. The most concrete information exists for the early-seventeenth-century repertory, and scholars have also identified several copyists from sources dating from the end of the century. Without considering the question of repertory, the focus on the earlier manuscripts can be explained in part for the following reasons. A few volumes are associated in some way or another with famous composers (for example, Thomas Tomkins and his autograph Conservatoire National de Musique (in Bibliothèque Nationale), Paris,(F-Pc)MS Rés. 1122), and others are noteworthy for their expansive contents (Fitzwilham Museum, Cambridge MS Mu 128, the famous ‘Fitzwilliam Virginal Book‘). Others are well known because their copyists are familiar personalities, such as British Library, London (Lbl)RM MS 23.1.4 andF-PcMS Rés. 1185—both connected with Benjamin Cosyn, organist of Dulwich College and conspicuous for his knowledge of John Bull's music. However, the copyists of most mid-century keyboard manuscripts remain unidentified. Concrete information concerning the copyists of a few sources exists, but most identified copyists are unknown men or women—keyboard music in the hand of a prominent musician is quite rare.
The Ferial Version of Purcell'sI Was Glad
Authors: Pike Lionel
Published: January 2013

There are many sources for Purcell'sI was glad:the anthem was clearly very popular, existing both in a ‘symphony anthem’ form with strings and also in various ‘verse anthem’ versions with organ accompaniment. It was common to make arrangements of Purcell's most attractive anthems so that they could be performed in places and at times when strings were not available. The geographical spread of the sources suggests thatI was gladwas in the repertoire of most of the main choral foundations in England. The only autographs of the piece are of the ‘symphony anthem’ version, although very early sources not in Purcell's hand give the piece as a verse anthem with organ accompaniment. Some sources that we think of as secondary because they are not autographs could actually pre-date those in the composers' hand, and they provide evidence about alternative textual traditions, performance practice, and the reception of Purcell's music.
The Correspondence of Agostino Steffani and Giuseppe Riva, 1720–1728, and Related Correspondence with J.P.F. von Schönborn and S.B. Pallavicini
Authors: Lindgren Lowell , Timms Colin
Published: January 2013

The ‘Venetian’ composer Agostino Steffani and the Modenese diplomat Giuseppe Riva became acquainted at Hanover in 1719. Steffani had first resided there between 1688 and 1703, when he served the Hanoverian Duke Ernst August and his son Georg Ludwig as a musician and special envoy (he went to Vienna, for example, to negotiate the elevation of Hanover to an electorate, a distinction approved by the emperor in 1692). He had been ordained a Catholic priest at Munich in 1680, received a sinecure appointment as an abbot in 1683 and been made an apostolic prothonotary by 1695. His diplomatic and evangelical achievements on behalf of the church were recognized in 1706, when he was named Bishop of Spiga, and 1709, when he was appointed Apostolic Vicar of North Germany. His home in 1703–9 was in Düsseldorf, where he served as chief councillor to Johann Wilhelm, the Catholic Elector Palatine, but in November 1709 he returned to Hanover, a Lutheran city in Lower Saxony nearer the centre of his extensive vicariate.
Antonio Sartorio (c. 1630–1680): Documents and Sources of a Career in Seventeenth-Century Venetian Opera
Authors: Vavoulis Vassilis
Published: January 2013

Although little information survives on Antonio Sartorio's formative years, his date of birth can be placed at c. 1630 on the basis of the act of his death, which states that he died on 30 December 1680 at the age of ‘about 50‘. In all probability Sartorio came from a family of artists-craftsmen as the composer Gasparo Sartorio (1625/6–80), and the theatre architect and opera set-designer Girolamo (Hieronymo, Geronimo) Sartorio (d. 1716) were his brothers.
An Elizabethan Tune List from Lleweni Hall, North Wales
Authors: Harper Sally
Published: January 2013

A little-known list of some 80 Elizabethan tune titles, probably copied during the 1590s at Lleweni Hall, near Denbigh in north Wales, is preserved in the library archive of the University of Wales, Bangor: MS Gwyneddon 4, a composite volume of late medieval Welsh poetry (p. 130 / f. 71v; see Illustration 1 and Figure 1 for parallel transcription). The list has neither heading nor notation, and was apparently written out at speed in random order. It has received little attention to date, although a transcription was published by Ifor Williams in 1937, and John Ward noted concordances with some of the items in the ‘Giles Lodge’ lute book in 1992. The list warrants closer scrutiny for several reasons: the number of ‘lost’ titles unique to this source; the theatrical associations of some of the tunes; reference to named individuals (among them ‘alen’, ‘mistres shandoes’, and the ‘countese of lester‘); and the implications of the unusual Welsh provenance. Taken as a whole, the list not only gives a flavour of the musical repertory associated with one wealthy Elizabethan household at the end of the sixteenth century, but also demonstrates how such a repertory was shaped by family tastes and connections. Part I of this article discusses the various contexts for the list with particular reference to its social and dramatic associations, while Part II comprises a catalogue of the tunes and their main concordances. Some of the most significant information is summarized in tabular form. Table 1 presents an alphabetical index of the tunes; Table 2, tunes known to survive with music and their earliest associated source; Table 3, tunes set as lute or consort items; Table 4, tunes associated with the actor Richard Tarlton (d. 1588); Table 5, Tarlton's ballads and other texts; Table 6, tunes prescribed in the ballad collectionA Handefull of Pleasant Delites(1584); Table 7, tunes found in Playford'sEnglish Dancing Master; and Table 8, tunes cited in Elizabethan stage works.
‘Reviv'd by the Publisher of the Former Masks’: The Firm of John Walsh and the Monthly Mask 1717–27 and 1737–8
Authors: Baldwin Olive , Wilson Thelma
Published: January 2013

The 360 songs of the 103 surviving issues of John Walsh's Monthly Mask of Vocal Music 1702–1711 were published in a facsimile edition in 2007 with a commentary and indexes by the authors of this article. Walsh revived his periodical from July 1717 to March 1723 and during the following few years he occasionally employed Monthly Mask title-pages for sets of Italian opera songs. John Walsh the younger revived the periodical between May 1737 and January 1738. This article discusses the publishing history of the post-1711 runs, throwing interesting light on competition between music publishers and on the firm's relationship with Handel, and provides a catalogue giving transcriptions of first lines and titles, with additional information on composers, authors and performers, as well as full indexes.
A ‘Gigantic and Popular Place of Entertainment’: Granville Bantock and Music-Making at the New Brighton Tower in the Late 1890s
Authors: Watt Paul
Published: January 2013

In 1897, the New Brighton Tower and its Gardens opened for business. This vast leisure precinct attracted millions of visitors each year and provided a host of leisure activities including ballroom dancing, acrobatics, exhibitions of foreign and exotic cultures and orchestral concerts. This article focuses on the first four years of the orchestra's life when it was conducted by Granville Bantock, the only period of the orchestra's history for which many programmes have survived and from which a detailed reconstruction of the orchestra's repertory and programming can be made. The article discusses how class division, press propaganda, moral panics and commercial imperatives affected the programming of so-called ‘serious’ or classical music.
Making use of the vignette technique to examine methods of bereavement counselling: An exploratory study
Authors: Munday Helen
Published: January 2013

Aim: The principal objective of this small‐scale study was to examine methods of bereavement counselling because of their lack of clarity. Method: The study made use of the vignette technique along with six semi‐structured interviews analysed by means of thematic analysis. Findings: Results showed that bereavement counsellors are using a multitude of different and diverse methods of counselling, characteristic of postmodernism. Advantages of these postmodern methods are that bereavement counselling methods are rich, creative, supportive, pluralistic and attentive to otherness. However, disadvantages of these postmodern methods have led to a lack of consensus amongst experts, unclear methods and an anti‐methodological way of working by counsellors. Implications for practice: Postmodernism is inherent in bereavement counselling. As a result no two counsellors work in exactly the same way because of the difference in their background and experience similarly it can be said that no one counselling method has exclusivity due to the diverse nature of postmodernism.
The good, the bad and the uncertainty: Trainees' perceptions of the personal development group
Authors: Moller Naomi P. , Rance Nicola
Published: January 2013

Background: Views about the purpose and role of personal development groups (PD group) in the counsellor training process are varied. Some argue they enhance self‐awareness, self‐exploration, the ability to be congruent and, ultimately, that they make for better practitioners. Others argue there is no clear evidence for such benefits and that they can actually be damaging to trainees. Aims: This study aimed to explore the beliefs of 25 trainees enrolled on counselling diploma or counselling psychology doctoral courses. It looked in particular at their perceptions of the purpose of PD groups and their expectations regarding support, difficulties and the scope of their participation. Method: Data was collected using open‐ended questions in an anonymous survey and was subjected to a thematic analysis. Results: Trainees appeared to hold mixed – and sometimes conflicting – views about the PD group. For some it was a positive endeavour that facilitated learning about self and clients, and helped in the processes of developing counselling skills and keeping the training group healthy. For others it was a feared space, which could elicit negative emotional experiences, and impact negatively on both learning outside of the PD group and the health of the group itself. Still others were unclear about its purpose. Hope/idealisation (of the process, the facilitator and course tutors) were also evident in the trainees' responses. Implications: Implications of these findings for counselling training are discussed.

Published: January 2013

Background:

Vascular malformations frequently enlarge during adolescence, suggesting that hormones may be involved. The purpose of this study was to determine whether pubertal hormone receptors are present in vascular malformations and whether they differ from normal tissue.

Methods:

Tissue specimens (arteriovenous malformation, lymphatic malformation, and venous malformation) were prospectively collected from patients undergoing resection. Immunohistochemistry was used to determine the presence of androgen, estrogen, progesterone, and growth hormone receptors. The effects of age, sex, location, and malformation type on receptor expression were analyzed. Age-, sex-, and location-matched normal tissues served as controls.

Results:

Forty-five vascular malformation specimens were collected: arteriovenous malformation (n = 11), lymphatic malformation (n = 20), and venous malformation (n = 14). Growth hormone receptor expression was increased in arteriovenous malformation (72.7 percent), lymphatic malformation (65.0 percent), and venous malformation (57.1 percent) tissues compared with controls (25.8 percent) (p < 0.05). Growth hormone receptor was present primarily in the endothelium/perivasculature of malformations (93.1 percent), whereas in normal tissue growth hormone receptor was located only in the stroma (p < 0.0001). Neither age, nor sex, nor location influenced receptor expression (p = 0.9). No differences in androgen receptor, estrogen receptor, and progesterone receptor staining were found between malformations and control samples (p = 0.7).

Conclusions:

Growth hormone receptor is overexpressed and principally located in the vessels of vascular malformations. Growth hormone might contribute to the expansion of vascular malformations.
Comparison of Immediate Implant Placement versus the Staged Tissue Expander Technique in Breast Reconstruction
Authors: Roostaeian Jason , Sanchez Ivan , Vardanian Andrew , Herrera Fernando , Galanis Charles , Da Lio Andrew , Festekjian Jaco , Crisera Christopher A.
Published: January 2013

Background:

Tissue expansion is currently the most common method used in prosthetic breast reconstruction. Skin-sparing mastectomy techniques have facilitated immediate placement of a permanent implant. Proposed benefits to immediate implants include less time and fewer operations to complete reconstruction. Whether it leads to poorer outcomes remains unknown. The authors compared immediate implant-based and staged tissue expander breast reconstruction.

Methods:

Thirty-five consecutive immediate implant-based breast reconstruction patients (62 breasts) and a matched group of 50 tissue expander immediate reconstruction patients (89 breasts) were identified. Normative data, complication rates, revision rates, number of office visits, total reconstructive time, and aesthetic outcomes were compared.

Results:

Demographic variables and surgical risk factors were similar in both groups. At a mean follow-up of 14 months, the overall complication rates were similar (p = 0.97), and the need for revision surgery was also similar (p = 0.94). Mean final implant volume did not differ between the two groups (397 ± 93 cc for implants and 386 ± 128 cc for expansion; p = 0.57). Mean number of office visits/time to nipple reconstruction was significantly different at 5.0 ± 4 versus 9.2 ± 3 visits (p < 0.001) and 22 ± 19 versus 43 ± 24 weeks (p < 0.001) in the implant versus tissue expander group, respectively. Aesthetic evaluation revealed no significant differences.

Conclusions:

Immediate implant-based breast reconstruction has similar complication rates, need for revision, and aesthetic outcomes but fewer office visits and less reconstructive time when compared with tissue expander immediate breast reconstruction. In the appropriately selected patient, it is a safe option that provides similar outcomes in less time compared with staged expander-based reconstruction.
