Review of Peter Kivy. 2001. New Essays on Musical Understanding. Oxford University Press; and Lawrence Kramer. 2002. Musical Meaning: Toward a Critical History. Berkeley: University of California Press
Creators: name: Goehr, Lydia
Publisher: name: Current Musicology
Year: 2002

description: It is not obvious that one would choose to read these two new essay collections together, although their titles are similar. But it is useful to do so. Both are notable for their author’s display of wit, musicianship, and deep commitment to writing seriously about music. Both show the current interests of the field. Yet, radically opposed in method and style, each serves to illuminate the strengths and weaknesses of the other. Both are offered as unapologetic demonstrations of their methods. Peter Kivy is one of the most significant figures in the field of the analytic philosophy of music; Lawrence Kramer is a major contributor to the postmodern discourse of New Musicology. Kivy is a self-proclaimed purist about music; Kramer wants to account also for music’s being socially conditioned. Kivy’s brevity, clarity, and use of explicit argument contrast with Kramer’s length, indirection, and sometimes obscure style; Kramer’s richness and hermeneutical complexity contrast with Kivy’s sometimes historically-spare account. Both, however, share a certain modesty, because, whereas Kivy seems not to want to assert that there is anything too new in his New Essays, so Kramer seems content to move only “toward” a Critical History.

Experimental investigation of the tolerant wind tunnel for unsteady airfoil motion testing
Creators: name: Kong, Lingzhe
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: Previously, the concept of the tolerant wind tunnel, developed in the Department of Mechanical Engineering, U. B. C., was tested only for stationary models. In the present study, the concept is investigated for unsteady airfoil motion. The new wind tunnel test section, using the opposite effects of solid and open boundaries, is a new approach to reduce wall blockage effects. Consisting of vertical airfoil slats uniformly spaced on both side walls in the test section, it is designed to produce a nearly free-air test environment for the test model, which leads to negligible or small corrections to the experimental results. The performance of this wind tunnel for unsteady model testing is examined experimentally with a two-dimensional NACA 0015 airfoil in a simple plunging sinusoidal motion. The airfoil is mounted vertically in the center plane of the test section between solid ceiling and floor. An oscillating table is designed to give the airfoil an accurate plunging sinusoidal motion. A full range of open area ratio is tested by varying the number of slats mounted inside the side walls. Pressure distribution along the airfoil surface and displacement of the airfoil are measured as functions of time by a data acquisition system designed for this research. Lift and moment are obtained by integration of the pressure distribution at every time increment. Using a numerical model based on the singularity distribution method, the free air case results for a NACA 0015 airfoil in the same unsteady motion are obtained. Comparison with the linear theory results by Sears¹ are discussed. Comparing with the numerical and the linear theory results, the experimental investigation shows that the new test section produces low-correction data.

description: Within the framework of the well-known curvature models, a fluid lipid bilayer membrane is regarded as a surface embedded in the three-dimensional Euclidean space whose equilibrium shapes are described in terms of its mean and Gaussian curvatures by the so-called membrane shape equation. In the present paper, all solutions to this equation determining cylindrical membrane shapes are found and presented, together with the expressions for the corresponding position vectors, in explicit analytic form. The necessary and sufficient conditions for such a surface to be closed are derived and several sufficient conditions for its directrix to be simple or self-intersecting are given.

description: The combined effective low energy QCD Lagrangians of Nambu -- Jona-Lasinio (NJL) and 't Hooft are supplemented with eight-quark interactions. This work is a follow-up of recent findings, namely (i) the six quark flavour determinant 't Hooft term destabilizes the NJL vacuum, (ii) the addition of a chiral invariant eight-fermion contact term renders the ground state of the theory globally stable; (iii) stability constrains the values of coupling constants of the model, meaning that even in the presence of eight-quark forces the system can be unstable in a certain parameter region. In the present work we study a phenomenological output of eight-quark interactions considering the mass spectra of pseudoscalar and scalar mesons. Mixing angles are obtained and their equivalence to the two angle approach is derived. We show that the masses of pseudoscalars are almost neutral to the eight-quark forces. The only marked effect of the second order in the SU(3) breaking is found in the $η-η'$ system. The scalars are more sensitive to the eight-quark interactions. A strong repulsion between the singlet-octet members is the reason for the obtained low mass of the $σ$ state within the model considered.

Formation of magnetized spatial structures in the Beta Lyrae system III. Reflection of magnetically controlled matter in circumbinary structures in helium lines, in particular arising from metastable levels

description: Spatial gaseous structures in the Beta Lyrae system have been studied with the fact of change in the longitudinal component of the donor's magnetic field during the orbital period in mind. The investigation was based primarily on the study of the dynamics of the circumstellar structures surrounding the binary system as a whole. The special emphasis was placed on the study of complex helium lines, in particular those arising from metastable levels. A number of different observable facts from the ultraviolet to the red spectral region were analyzed. The configuration of the donor magnetic field is a factor that not only enhances mass transfer and influences the formation of spatial gas structures between stellar components but, to some extent, also affects the outflow of matter and the formation of external gas structures around this interacting binary system. Together with previous articles \citep{Skulskyy2020a, Skulskyy2020b}, the pieces of evidence of this work, confirming the reflection of magnetically controlled matter in circumbinary structures, define the basis for a coherent picture of the mass exchange between components and outflows of matter outwards

Origin of $2_1^+$ Excitation Energy Dependence on Valence Nucleon Numbers

description: It has been shown recently that a simple formula in terms of the valence nucleon numbers and the mass number can describe the essential trends of excitation energies of the first $2^+$ states in even-even nuclei. By evaluating the first order energy shift due to the zero-range residual interaction, we find that the factor which reflects the effective particle number participating in the interaction from the Fermi orbit governs the main dependence of the first $2^+$ excitation energy on the valence nucleon numbers.

description: Simple, controllable models play an important role to learn how to manipulate and control quantum resources. We focus here on quantum non-Markovianity and model the evolution of open quantum systems by quantum renewal processes. This class of quantum dynamics provides us with a phenomenological approach to characterise dynamics with a variety of non-Markovian behaviours, here described in terms of the trace distance between two reduced states. By adopting a trajectory picture for the open quantum system evolution, we analyse how non-Markovianity is influenced by the constituents defining the quantum renewal process, namely the time-continuous part of the dynamics, the type of jumps and the waiting time distributions. We focus not only on the mere value of the non-Markovianity measure, but also on how different features of the trace distance evolution are altered, including times and number of revivals.

description: We present a measurement of the velocity flow of the local universe relative to the CMB rest frame, based on the Jha, Riess & Kirshner (2007) sample of 133 low redshift type Ia supernovae. At a depth of 4500 km/s we find a dipole amplitude of 279+-68 km/s in the direction (l,b) = (285+-18,-10+-15), consistent with earlier measurements and with the assumption that the local velocity field is dominated by the Great Attractor region. At a larger depth of 5900 km/s we find a shift in the dipole direction towards the Shapley concentration. We also present the first measurement of the quadrupole term in the local velocity flow at these depths. Finally, we have performed detailed studies based on N-body simulations of the expected precision with which the lowest multipoles in the velocity field can be measured out to redshifts of order 0.1. Our mock catalogues are in good agreement with current observations, and demonstrate that our results are robust with respect to assumptions about the influence of local environment on the type Ia supernova rate.

description: White dwarf binaries are the most common compact binaries in the Universe and are especially important for low-frequency gravitational wave detectors such as LISA. There are a number of open questions about binary evolution and the Galactic population of white dwarf binaries that can be solved using gravitational wave data and at the same time, our ever improving knowledge about these binaries will help to predict the signals that can be expected for LISA. In addition a number of white dwarf binaries will serve as verification sources for the instrument. I will discuss these issues and report recent, surprising, developments in this field. Finally I report calculations about the feasibility of complementary electro-magnetic observations which unfortunately cannot reproduce the optimistic results of Cooray et al. (2004).

It is shown that, in the SU(3)f flavor symmetry breaking case, all of the couplings can be written in terms of four universal functions instead of F and D couplings which exist in the SU(3)f symmetry case. A comparison of our results of kaon and pion-baryon couplings with existing theoretical and experimental results in the literature is performed.

Meter and Word Setting: Revising Machaut's Monophonic Virelais
Creators: name: Maw, David
Publisher: name: Current Musicology
Year: 2002

description: Monophonic virelais constitute a significant proportion of Guillaume de Machaut's compositions in the formes fixes; together with the complainte and chanson roial of the Remede de Fortune and the lais, they represent the zenith of a medium which has not since been pursued with either such creative variety or such compositional resource. At first glance, the virelais seem simple, naIve even. Yet closer analytical attention has revealed that they harbor a range of sophistications, whether a subtle interplay of melodic phrase and poetic line,! or a variety of different tonal procedures and motivic reworkings.2 This is no surprise given the remarkable technical skill and creative imagination of Machaut's other compositions. But it is a timely reminder that the monophonic songs are an integral part of his lyric output, rather than a marginal curiosity betraying indebtedness to the trouvere tradition at a time when the lyric genres were focused on the development of polyphony.

description: We study properties of two different atoms at a single optical lattice site at a heteronuclear atomic Feshbach resonance. We calculate the energy spectrum, the efficiency of rf association and the lifetime as a function of magnetic field and compare the results with the experimental data obtained for K-40 and Rb-87 [C. Ospelkaus et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 97, 120402 (2006)]. We treat the interaction in terms of a regularized delta function pseudopotential and consider the general case of particles with different trap frequencies, where the usual approach of separating center-of-mass and relative motion fails. We develop an exact diagonalization approach to the coupling between center-of-mass and relative motion and numerically determine the spectrum of the system. At the same time, our approach allows us to treat the anharmonicity of the lattice potential exactly. Within the pseudopotential model, the center of the Feshbach resonance can be precisely determined from the experimental data.

It was there that Schenker's student Hans Weisse began teaching in 1931; starting the next year, he concurrently conducted graduate seminars at Columbia Uni-versity. Mter Weisse's untimely death in 1940, Schenker's student Felix Salzer assumed similar duties at Mannes; he later became a professor of music at Queens College ofthe City University of New York.

description: We derive source-free Maxwell-like equations in flat spacetime for any helicity "j" by comparing the transformation properties of the 2(2j+1) states that carry the manifestly covariant representations of the inhomogeneous Lorentz group with the transformation properties of the two helicity "j" states that carry the irreducible representations of this group. The set of constraints so derived involves a pair of curl equations and a pair of divergence equations. These reduce to the free-field Maxwell equations for j=1 and the analogous equations coupling the gravito-electric and the gravito-magnetic fields for j=2.

description: The Acknowledgment—in which this note is, at least in part, an exer-cise—is a tricky genre: there are always too many people to thank but too few words fit for the task. A game presents itself: to avoid where possible repetitions of the golden word—the T–word—and its few synonyms; in other words, no thanks, no gratitude. Keith Richards (2010, 549), in his autobiography Life, has a tidy solution: a single “my thanks to . . .” and then two sober columns of alphabetically ordered names. Similarly, in one of the more moving exemplars, Roger Parker (2006, xi–xii) follows “thanks to . . .” with a sentence almost two pages long, where he honors each addressee with a personalized vignette held between semicolons. With tongue presumably in cheek, Tamara Levitz (2012, xvii) interrupts the steady toll of T–words when, rather than thank her proofreaders, she “thinks” them.

Review of Timothy D. Taylor. 2001. Strange Sounds: Music, Technology, and Culture. New York: Routledge
Creators: name: Zak, Albin J.
Publisher: name: Current Musicology
Year: 2002

description: Strange Sounds is among the growing literature concerned with the interface of technology and musical practice, reception, and use (referred to in this book, as in many others, as “production” and “consumption”). More specifically, the author is concerned with the ways “that digital technology shapes the three areas that have historically been so affected by technology: music production, storage/distribution, and consumption” (15), with a particular focus on the latter two. The ability to capture sound as digital information is, of course, an outgrowth of analog sound recording, and is thus only the latest chapter in a history of technological evolution that has both shaped and been shaped by the forces of musical culture. The field of potential inquiry for such a project is vast, and from the complex of relevant topics Taylor takes up a subset focusing on “agency” and “ideologies of technology” (9), with the aim of probing the social dimensions of the music/ technology interface. What emerges is a somewhat idiosyncratic investigation that draws attention to several unlikely historical and aesthetic connections.

description: We provide the methods to compute the complete massless spectra of a class of recently introduced supersymmetric E8 x E8 heterotic string models which invoke vector bundles with U(N) structure group on simply connected Calabi-Yau manifolds and which yield flipped SU(5) and MSSM string vacua of potential phenomenological interest. We apply Leray spectral sequences in order to derive the localisation of the cohomology groups H^i(X,V_a \times V_b), H^i(X,\bigwedge^2 V) and H^i(X,{\bf S}^2 V) for vector bundles defined via Fourier-Mukai transforms on elliptically fibered Calabi-Yau manifolds. By the method of bundle extensions we define a stable U(4) vector bundle leading to the first flipped SU(5) model with just three generations, i.e. without any vector-like matter. Along the way, we propose the notion of Lambda-stability for heterotic bundles.

description: We show that a biased quantum coin flip (QCF) cannot provide the performance of a black-boxed biased coin flip, if it satisfies some fidelity conditions. Although such a QCF satisfies the security conditions of a biased coin flip, it does not realize the ideal functionality, and therefore, does not fulfill the demands for universally composable security. Moreover, through a comparison within a small restricted bias range, we show that an arbitrary QCF is distinguishable from a black-boxed coin flip unless it is unbiased on both sides of parties against insensitive cheating. We also point out the difficulty in developing cheat-sensitive quantum bit commitment in terms of the uncomposability of a QCF.

Voice and Instrument at the Origins of Music

description: During the summer of 2008, archaeologists uncovered some remnants of musical prehistory in the caves of Hohle Fels, Germany. There, among burnt animal bones and flint–knapping debris, they found fragments of three flutes (Conard, Malina, and Münzel 2009). One was remarkably complete. Tis delicate instrument, discovered in twelve pieces, had been fashioned from a vulture’s wing bone. It was thirty–four centimeters long (roughly the length of a piccolo), with several finger holes and a notched mouthpiece (like the Japanese shakuhachi and other end–blown flutes; see Figure 1). Te other flutes at the site were less complete but represented more complex manufacturing. They were made from pieces of mammoth tusk that had been split, hollowed out, and then rejoined. Yet headlines about the Hohle Fels flutes focused on neither their present condition nor their refined construction. Instead journalists and scholars emphasized the artifacts’ age. These flutes were more than thirty–five thousand years old—the earliest musical instruments then known.1 Incidentally, one of the earliest examples of figurative art, an ivory sculpture called the “Venus of Hohle Fels,” was found less than a meter away from the bone flute (Conard 2009). Together these artifacts give compelling evidence for musical and artistic practices in the Upper Paleolithic Era. Writing and the wheel, by contrast, would not appear until almost thirty thousand years later, during the early Bronze Age (that is, around the fourth millennium BCE).

Preface to Gesprochene Musik, 1. “O-a” and 2. “Ta-tam”

Year: 2014

description: Think of the great composers of German and Austrian music in the last century, and certain names spring to mind: Arnold Schoenberg, Anton Webern, Alban Berg, Paul Hindemith, Kurt Weill. Among those names should be Ernst Toch. That for many musicians and music lovers this is not yet so is due not to the character of Toch’s music but to the curtailment of his meteoric early career by the Nazi regime, which drove the composer into exile in 1933. In the United States, where Toch eventually settled, his major achievements in orchestral, chamber, and operatic music remain less familiar than those of his American and European peers. Toch has long been best known for The Geographical Fugue, which is such a repertory staple that today it seems hardly a choral singer in the United States passes through high school and college without performing the piece at least once. The work is equally popular among avocational choruses of all kinds, and professional choirs of course also sing it. Given the Fugue’s renown, it is strange that the oddly stoic little note Toch (1950, 12) appended to the published score has apparently excited little curiosity over the years: “This piece is the last movement of a suite GESPROCHENE MUSIK (Spoken Music), which, from different angles, tries to produce musical effects from speech. The suite was performed and recorded at the Berlin Festival of Contemporary music [sic] in 1930. The record got lost or was destroyed, likewise the music, except the manuscript.” Ernst Toch You might think conductors would have been tumbling over one another trying to get hold of the other movements of this suite: the existence of the manuscript for more music related to the Fugue has been no secret for decades. The full story is stranger still. Toch’s note would lead the reader to imagine a live public performance and a commercially released live or studio recording. Yet there was no such show, nor any such album. It may come as a shock to its fans that, far from being designed as the reliable choral showpiece it has since become, the Fugue was not originally intended for performance by live singers at all.

description: An article in High Fidelity magazine, entitled “Listening is Believing?” and dated July/August 1953, sets forth the contemporary limits of sound reproduction in the inimitable style of advertisement copy: “Technical electronics can go only so far. Te rest of the job must be done by the imaginative mind of the listener. Tat’s not a platitude; it’s a technical specifcation” (Campbell 1953, 28).1 The connection drawn between imagination and sound reproduction, that the imagination can be an aspect of “technical electronics,” is meant to salve the “imaginative mind of the listener.” In doing so, however, it betrays an anxiety: the relationship has gotten out of balance, with human imagination falling short in the face of advances in “technical electronics.” Te author, John Campbell, puts a frm boundary around the latter: it “can go only so far” (Campbell 1953, 28). But in this arrangement, human imagination is a supplement, an accessory to technology, not vice versa.2 I am indebted to Eric Barry for this source. ↵ This accessory role is not addressed by James Lastra’s otherwise useful distinction between fidelity and intelligibility. Postulating from Lastra’s account, let us say technology and imagination would be equal participants in sound reproduction. See Lastra 2012. ↵

description: We study a family of classical string solutions with large spins on R x S^3 subspace of AdS_5 x S^5 background, which are related to Complex sine-Gordon solitons via Pohlmeyer's reduction. The equations of motion for the classical strings are cast into Lame equations and Complex sine-Gordon equations. We solve them under periodic boundary conditions, and obtain analytic profiles for the closed strings. They interpolate two kinds of known rigid configurations with two spins: on one hand, they reduce to folded or circular spinning/rotating strings in the limit where a soliton velocity goes to zero, while on the other hand, the dyonic giant magnons are reproduced in the limit where the period of a kink-array goes to infinity.

description: Gesprochene Musik, by Ernst Toch (1887–1964), is a forgotten milestone in the history of electronic music.1 A three–movement suite consisting of spoken music for choir, it is one of the few paradigmatic representatives of the genre of Gramophonmusik, which made use of prerecorded gramophone discs in a concert setting. The work was premiered in 1930 at a Berlin festival devoted to new music, in a concert featuring original works for gramophone playback by two rising stars of the German contemporary music scene, Toch and Paul Hindemith. The pieces were performed only once, yet through the intervention of a young John Cage, the score of the third movement of Gesprochene Musik, the “Geographical Fugue,” appeared in Henry Cowell’s journal, New Music, five years later. Although Cage published the piece in the context of a collection of music written expressly for gramophone, his version led the “Geographical Fugue” to receive a new lease of life as a purely acoustic choral showpiece performed live, which would, ironically, become Toch’s most famous work.2 Given that there was no further trace of the gramophone discs from the original concert, the first two movements of Toch’s suite were long considered lost. However, Toch’s original sketches were in fact fortunately preserved at the Toch Archive at UCLA. Guided by the composer’s grandson, Lawrence Weschler, Christopher Caines rediscovered the sketches for “O–a” and “Ta–tam” in 2006, and created the first full edition of Gesprochene Musik as part of a project he choreographed entitled “Worklight.” This was the frst complete performance of Gesprochene Musik since the work’s premiere in 1930. The current essay presents an introduction, contextualization, and analysis of the first two movements of Gesprochene Musik ahead of the publication of Caines’s (2014) preface and edition in the current volume of this journal. Special thanks are due to Christopher Caines for generously sharing his edition of Gesprochene Musik, and to Ren Weschler and Dina Ormenyi of the Ernst Toch Society for all their help. Additional thanks are due to Tom Fogg, Tomas Patteson, Courtney Tompson, and Nori Jacoby for their helpful suggestions, and to Dan Harrison, Evan Cortens, and Caroline Waight for their encouragement. ↵ As Weschler (2003) writes, Toch himself considered the piece a joke. ↵

Symptoms, functioning, well-being, and general health perceptions of bone marrow transplant recipients
Creators: name: Gue, Deborah Sutherland

description: The purpose of this study was to address the need for knowledge about the impact of bone marrow transplantation (BMT) on the life of the individual following discharge from the hospital. Specifically, symptoms, personal and social/role functioning, psychological distress/well-being, and general health perceptions of BMT recipients were described. Furthermore, the relationship between these variables and time since BMT, and type of BMT was also explored. Participants from an accessible population of individuals who had their BMT in one of two western Canadian hospitals completed the BMT Symptom Distress Inventory, the Sickness Impact Profile, the Social Adjustment Scale - Self Report, the Cantril Self-Anchoring Scale, the Profile of Mood States, and the Demographic Information, Illness and Treatment History Data Collection Guide. Symptoms were found to be a significant feature of the post-BMT experience with regard to frequency and associated distress. Symptoms that were reported as occurring most frequently and having the greatest degree of associated distress fell into the categories of sexuality symptoms, miscellaneous problems, and joint symptoms. Personal functioning appeared to be at a higher level than that of a comparison group of BMT recipients, and at a lower level than that of a comparison group of renal transplant patients. A large percentage of respondents who described their usual roles as workers for pay, reported a favorable level of functioning in this area with approximately 90% of the group presently working. Total mood disturbance and other aspects of psychological distress/well-being were found to be a less favorable feature of the post-BMT experience in this sample. BMT recipients rated their current health and life satisfaction as lower than that of the average person and before they were ill and required treatment; however, they showed a trend toward anticipation of a higher level of health and life satisfaction in the future. A statistically significant relationship between the post-BMT functioning variables and four post-BMT time frame variables was not demonstrated. However, there was a statistically significant difference in psychological distress/well-being between the autologous and allogeneic BMT recipient groups suggesting less psychological distress in the autologous BMT group. The findings were discussed in relation to the conceptual framework for the study, and other research findings. Implications for nursing practice, nursing research, and program development and resource allocation were also suggested.

description: We construct discrete analogs of Skyrmions in nonlinear dynamical lattices. The Skyrmion is built as a vortex soliton of a complex field, coupled to a dark radial soliton of a real field. Adjusting the Skyrmion ansatz to the lattice setting allows us to construct a "baby-Skyrmion" in two dimensions (2D) and extend it into the 3D case (1D counterparts of the Skyrmions are also found). Stability limits for these patterns are obtained analytically and verified numerically. The dynamics of unstable discrete Skyrmions is explored, and their stabilization by external potentials is discussed.

description: To be able to predict a molecular graph structure ($W$) given a 2D image of a chemical compound ($U$) is a challenging problem in machine learning. We are interested to learn $f: U \rightarrow W$ where we have a fully mediating representation $V$ such that $f$ factors into $U \rightarrow V \rightarrow W$. However, observing V requires detailed and expensive labels. We propose graph aligning approach that generates rich or detailed labels given normal labels $W$. In this paper we investigate the scenario of domain adaptation from the source domain where we have access to the expensive labels $V$ to the target domain where only normal labels W are available. Focusing on the problem of predicting chemical compound graphs from 2D images the fully mediating layer is represented using the planar embedding of the chemical graph structure we are predicting. The use of a fully mediating layer implies some assumptions on the mechanism of the underlying process. However if the assumptions are correct it should allow the machine learning model to be more interpretable, generalize better and be more data efficient at training time. The empirical results show that, using only 4000 data points, we obtain up to 4x improvement of performance after domain adaptation to target domain compared to pretrained model only on the source domain. After domain adaptation, the model is even able to detect atom types that were never seen in the original source domain. Finally, on the Maybridge data set the proposed self-labeling approach reached higher performance than the current state of the art.

Review of Philip Rupprecht. 2001. Britten’s Musical Language. Cambridge: Cambridge University Press
Creators: name: Whitesell, Lloyd
Publisher: name: Current Musicology
Year: 2002

description: In this wonderful book Philip Rupprecht develops a new, unified theoretical approach to Britten’s dramatic vocal music. To that end, he assembles a chronological series of close readings of major works, some extremely well-known (Peter Grimes, Billy Budd, The Turn of the Screw, War Requiem), others less familiar (Curlew River, Death in Venice). His approach draws on speech-act theory, as expounded by J. L. Austin (1975) and John Searle (1969) , conceiving linguistic utterance as a performative act. This conceptual basis resituates traditional concerns of text-setting, tonal structure, and leitmotivic development by promoting the dramatic context as the central topic of analysis. The focus shifts from details of objective structural integrity to rhetorical effects. Music, words, and gesture are treated not as separable symbolic media but as elements of a composite interactional discourse with “social and institutional force” (3). Broadly speaking then, the book aims toward a renewed evaluation of Britten’s stature as a dramatic composer while arguing persuasively for the value of linguistic and literary theories in music scholarship.

description: This book addresses the dynamics oflocally emerging musical expressions in their complex creative reactions to the global politics of cultural diffu-sion. Its contents are mainly derived from selected iinterdisciplinary con-ference papers, along with a few scholarly articles produced by members of the Brazilian academic project Socio-Anthropology of Music in Bahia (S.A.M.B.A.). The theme for these academic variations is set up by a pro-vocative essay previously published in the New York Times by the prominent Brazilian singer, composer, and writer Caetano Veloso.

Variation of delta baryon mass and hybrid star properties in static and rotating conditions

description: The possible conditions for hadron-quark phase transition in hybrid star cores are investigated in the present work. For the hadronic matter part the effective chiral model is adopted. Exotic baryonic degrees like hyperons and the delta baryons are also taken into account. As $Δ$s posses Breit-Wigner mass distribution ($1232 \pm 120$ MeV), the hadronic equation of state is obtained by varying the mass of the delta baryons in this range. For the quark phase the MIT bag model is chosen with repulsive effects of the unpaired quarks. Phase transition is achieved using Gibbs construction and the gross properties of the resultant hybrid star are calculated in both static and rotating conditions and compared with the various constraints on them from different observational and empirical perspectives. The work presents a thorough study of the phase transition properties like the critical density of appearance of quarks, the density range for the persistence of the mixed phase and the population of different hadrons and quarks in hybrid star matter. The hybrid star properties, calculated in both static and rotating conditions, are found to be consistent with the bounds on them from different perspectives.

Review of David Ferris. 2000. Schumann’s Eichendorff “Liederkreis” and the Genre of the Romantic Cycle. Oxford and New York: Oxford University Press

description: To contend that Schumann “viewed the construction of musical meaning as an interactive process” is, first of all, to suggest that Schumann sets himself apart from his contemporaries in this endeavor-that he is unusual in this regard. This in itself should raise suspicions. But that’s the least of it. It doesn’t take much imagination to suppose that a composer (Schumann, if you like) might anticipate that his works will elicit a response, and that the act of responding will constitute in some cases a critical act, even a performerly one. But Ferris wishes us to believe that Schumann composed as though the meaning of his works were a function of some “interactive process,” by which must be meant a collaborative dialogue engaging any number of interlocutors with Schumann’s text, and all that such a text implies of some shadowy authorial presence. However we think to parse such interactivity in our own minds, it would be helpful to allow that if there is something of significance to be heard in Schumann’s Eichendorff Liederkreis, this significance must be immanent in all hearings of it, and that the way in which we construe the music is a function of what is signified. The subjectivity, it seems to me, resides in the music, even as it sets off sympathetic vibrations in those who must contend with it. I think I know what Ferris is getting at. Schumann’s cycle, in tune with much Romantic music, intones hermeneutical riddles. To engage the riddling means less to solve a mystery than to apprehend something of its obscure complexity: not to dissolve an ambiguity, but to take some pleasure in the discomfort that it arouses. For Ferris, this “interactive process” means to insinuate a compositional strategy. As a critical strategy, as a way of contending with the dialogics of text and reader” such “interactivity” makes some sense. For the composer, it is hollow.
