Adaline Shepherd (August 19, 1883 to March 12, 1950) was an American composer of piano pieces.
 Though she did not compose many pieces, the pieces she composed were popular.
 In her twenties, she composed three ragtime pieces: Pickles and Peppers (1906), Wireless Rag (1909), and Live Wires Rag (1910).
 Commemorating World War I, she also published a Victory March (1918).
 She married Frederick Sherman Olson in 1910, and thereafter used his last name as her own.
Rag Shankara, Rag Mala in Jogia is a studio album by Indian classical musician Ram Narayan, released in 1990.
 Recorded on 15 and 16 November 1989 in Wyastone Leys near Monmouth, Wales, the album features a "sarangi" performance of the solemn night "raga" "Shankara" and a "ragamala" ("garland of ragas") based on the introspective early morning "raga" "Jogiya" (or "Jogia").
 On both tracks, Narayan performs a long non-metrical introduction to unfold the "raga", during which he adds a pulse, until he is joined by the "tabla" (percussion) player to perform a composition.
The kanun, ganoun or kanoon (Arabic: قانون‎ , "qānūn " ‎ ; Hebrew: קָנוֹן‎ , "qanon"; Persian: ‎ ‎ , "qānūn"; Turkish: "kanun" ; Armenian: քանոն , "k’anon " ; Azerbaijani: "qanun" ; Greek: κανονάκι , "kanonaki " ; Uyghur: قالون ‎, ULY: "qalon" ) is a string instrument played either solo, or more often as part of an ensemble, in much of the Middle East, Maghreb, West Africa, Central Asia, and southeastern regions of Europe.
 The name derives from the Arabic word "qanun", meaning "rule, law, norm, principle", which is borrowed from the ancient Greek word and musical instrument (rule), which in Latin was called canon (not to be confused with the European polyphonic musical style and composition technique known by the same name).
 Traditional and Classical musics executed on the qanun are based on Maqamat or Makamlar.
 As the historical relative of santur from the same geography, qanun is thought to trace its origins back to Assyria, where an ancestral homologue might have been used in Mesopotamian royal courts and religious ceremonies.
 The instrument today is a type of large zither with a thin trapezoidal soundboard that is famous for its unique melodramatic sound.
Stabule (stebule, stabuļa) is a national woodwind musical instrument of Latvia.
 The name can apply to variety of wind instruments, but in general sense it is a pipe with 4-8 finger holes.
 These instruments are 1.5-2.5 cm in diameter and can be anywhere from 20 to 40 cm in length.
 Stabules have either fipple or reed.
 Reed stabules were usually made from wood or reed with mouthpiece also made either from reed or wood.
 Fipple stabules were usually made of wood, although in some areas clay and bark stabules of this type were made and bone stabules have been found by archaeologists.
 A similar more simple type of stabule without finger holes can be made from willow bark.
 This type of instrument differs in that its end (opposite to mouthpiece) is plugged.
 The plug is generally meant for tuning the stabule, but sometimes also used as a slide to adjust tone while playing.
 All bark stabules were usually made in spring when bark is looser - the features of the stabule are carved right on a fresh broom of willow and the bark is then slid off; the remaining branch is then used to make the fipple and, for the simpler type of stabules, the plug.
 Due to the natural shrinkage of bark they were short-lived.
Christian Lauba (born 26 July 1952) is a Tunisian born French composer and teacher, especially noted for his compositions for saxophone.
 His compositions often incorporate the music of his native North Africa as well as Japanese influences.
 He sometimes composes under the name of Jean Matitia, particularly for jazz and rag music.
Cencioni ] is a type of pasta.
 The name derives from the Italian for "little rag".
 Cencioni are oval and petal-shaped, with a slight curve, larger and flatter than orecchiette, with a more irregular shape and a rough texture to one side to help sauces cling better.
Ragtime – also spelled rag-time or rag time – is a musical style that enjoyed its peak popularity between 1895 and 1918.
 Its cardinal trait is its syncopated, or "ragged", rhythm.
 The style has its origins in African-American communities in cities such as St. Louis.
 Ernest Hogan (1865–1909) was a pioneer of ragtime and was the first composer to have his ragtime pieces (or "rags") published as sheet music, beginning with the song "LA Pas Ma LA," published in 1895.
 Hogan has also been credited for coining the term "ragtime".
 The term is actually derived from his hometown "Shake Rag" in Bowling Green, Kentucky.
 Ben Harney, another Kentucky native, has often been credited for introducing the music to the mainstream public.
 His first ragtime composition, "You've Been a Good Old Wagon But You Done Broke", helped popularize the style.
 The composition was published in 1895, a few months after Ernest Hogan's "LA Pas Ma LA." Ragtime was also a modification of the march style popularized by John Philip Sousa, with additional polyrhythms coming from African music.
 Ragtime composer Scott Joplin ("ca."
 1868–1917) became famous through the publication of the "Maple Leaf Rag" (1899) and a string of ragtime hits such as "The Entertainer" (1902), although he was later forgotten by all but a small, dedicated community of ragtime aficionados until the major ragtime revival in the early 1970s.
 For at least 12 years after its publication, "Maple Leaf Rag" heavily influenced subsequent ragtime composers with its melody lines, harmonic progressions or metric patterns.
The spilåpipa (or "spelpipa", "spälapipa", "låtapipa") is a type of fipple flute traditional in Sweden.
 It is traditionally from the pastoral/transhumant cultures of that country, though more widespread in the modern era.
 It is originally most common in the transhumant areas, generally north of Svealand.
 During the 1900s, Älvdalen was a centre of conservation of spilåpipa music, and accordingly that area's name for the instrument has become the most widespread.
 A significant variation of the instrument is the härjedalspipa, but it has many variants.
 The instrument has experienced a revival in recent decades as modern folk musicians have become curious about traditional instruments.
Ellipsoidal reflector spotlight (abbreviated to ERS, or colloquially ellipsoidal or ellipse) is the name for a type of stage lighting instrument, named for the ellipsoidal reflector used to collect and direct the light through a barrel that contains a lens or lens train.
 The optics of an ERS instrument are roughly similar to those of a 35 mm slide projector.
 There are many types of ERS that are designed for the myriad applications found in the entertainment industry.
 ERS instruments come in all shapes and sizes.
 Each particular model of ERS has its own set of characteristics.
 Generally, ERS instruments are the most varied and utilized type of stage lighting instrument.
 ERS may also be referred to as Profile Spotlights (especially in Europe) because the beam can be shaped to the profile of an object.
 Ellipsoidal reflectors are used for their strong, well-defined light and their versatility. "
Leko" and "Source Four" are brand names which are often, but inaccurately, used to refer to any sort of ellipsoidal.
