Home Bio Classical Compositions Electro-Acoustic Music Recordings ... Contact At Maurice Ravel's desk, Montfort-l'Amaury, France "... Using Ravel and Couperin as a model, Mr. Hall's Le Tombeau de Honegger is essentially a neoclassic composition, in which only the pitch style differs from earlier composers, not the generally enjoyable rhythms and tempi. The third movement, Hornpipe , is analogous to Couperin's Rigadoun made memorable in Ravel's by now classic composition. It's delicious rhythm is irresistible..." Review from The New Music Connoisseur of Le Tombeau de Honegger , performed by Blair McMillen at the 2004 American Composers Alliance Festival of New American Music. "...the best of these (pieces) was Greg Hall's solo piano piece For Graham Fitkin , an earnestly pleasing study in textures that expertly navigates harmonies ranging from Roy Harris-style polytonality to jazzy upper tertian aggregates..."

44. Joshua Rifkin: An Interview (from Inside Early Music) Interview from Inside Early Music discussing the basics of early music performance. Includes background information about the artist. http://homepages.kdsi.net/~sherman/rifkin.html

An excerpt from Inside Early Music: Conversations with Performers (Oxford University Press, 1997) by Bernard D. Sherman Chapter 20 "Re-Inventing Wheels": Joshua Rifkin on Interpretation and Rhetoric To many early-music enthusiasts, the name Joshua Rifkin brings to mind a single association: the renegade who argues that Bach generally used only one singer on each of his choral lines. But that association obscures the sheer variety of Rifkin's career. His work as conductor, harpsichordist, and pianist has taken him from Busnoys and Josquin through Mozart and Haydn to Stravinsky, Weill, and more recent composers. It has also included a healthy dose of Scott Joplin, whose revival in popularity began with Rifkin's recordings in the early 1970s. Rifkin has appeared as guest conductor and keyboard soloist with many leading modern orchestras, such as the English Chamber Orchestra, Amsterdam Concertgebouw Chamber Orchestra, and San Francisco and St. Louis Symphonies. Along the way, he has found time to record his spoof The Baroque Beatles Book and some lovely instrumental arrangements for Judy Collins Rifkin studied composition with Karlheinz Stockhausen, and theory with Milton Babbitt at Princeton. He is also a musicologist, who has specialized in Renaissance and Baroque music, particularly Josquin and Bach. His research on the B Minor Mass has produced several coups, including his deduction, since proved correct, that the Credo chorus was originally written in a different key than the familiar one. His revisionist work on the dates of the

47. 1492 -- Inventing America inventing America. The name America was given to the Western Hemisphere by Europeanwriters and mapmakers after Columbus s death. http://www.ibiblio.org/expo/1492.exhibit/d-Inventing.Amer/inventing.amer.html

Inventing America The name America was given to the Western Hemisphere by European writers and mapmakers after Columbus's death. Nothing in their experiences had led the first explorers to realize that they had come into contact with a vast and unrecorded continent, many times the size of Europe. Previously there had been no accounts, or even rumors, of the "unknown" peoples of this "new" continent in European scholarly literature and discussion or in popular chronicles. Mediterranean explorers in search of the spices and riches of the Far East initially believed that they had reached Asia. In part due to this confusion, Europeans conjured up or "invented" images and tales to explain America that would conform to the descriptions of Marco Polo and others. In early allegorical images, "America" was sometimes portrayed as a noble, native woman submissively awaiting European arrival. Ferocious sea animals and exotic creatures filled early maps of the region. Regrettably, we still have incomplete knowledge of the world view and everyday life of the varied peoples of the Americas before European settlement. Spain in America The Gutierrez map depicts what appears to be the Holy Roman Emperor, Charles V (Charles I of Spain), as the reborn Caesar in his chariot crossing the Atlantic to lay claim to America. Mediterranean explorers had broken open the "gates of Gilbraltar", considered by the ancient Romans to be the westermost limit of their empire. They revealed a "fourth continent" across the Atlantic and a whole new world of potential for the modern empire builders.

[an error occurred while processing this directive] Go to Chapter One Section Go to Book World's Review Inventing Mark Twain The Lives of Samuel Langhorne Clemens By Andrew Hoffman Chapter One: Inventing Sam Clemens Training is everything. The peach was once a bitter almond; cauliflower is nothing but cabbage with a college education. "Pudd'nhead Wilson's Calendar" (1894) Two months premature and weighing five pounds, the baby born to John Marshall and Jane Lampton Clemens on November 30, 1835, in the frontier hamlet of Florida, Missouri, had the worst possible prospects. "A lady came in one day," Jane Clemens wrote later, and "said you don't expect to raise that babe do you. I said I would try. But he was a poor looking object to raise." Writing as Mark Twain, Samuel Langhorne Clemens would claim that Florida, Missouri, "contained a hundred people and I increased the population by one per cent. It is more than the best man in history ever did for any other town." In 1835, the hamlet consisted of just two dusty roads and as many shacks as were needed to house a few hundred people a day's horse-ride away from the nearest Mississippi River community. Laid out in 1831, Florida sat on high, fertile ground where the north and south forks of Salt River joined thirty land miles from the Mississippi and seemed a likely spot to mill and ship the products of the outlying farms. By 1835, the first horse-powered mill gave way to a few water-powered ones; small, flat-bottomed boats carried produce the eighty river miles down to the town of Louisiana, Missouri, where Salt River joined the Big Muddy.

The 45-year-old R.E.M. guitarist is said to have assaulted two British Airways cabin crew during a prolonged bout of "loutish behaviour" 35,000 feet above the Atlantic. He insisted during Thursday's hearing at west London's Isleworth Crown Court that his account of downing the tablet with a glass of wine at the start of the flight was true. During questioning by prosecution barrister David Bate QC, Buck denied making up the tablet story to cover his drunken behaviour on the 10-hour Seattle-to-London flight. Buck was arrested when the plane landed at Heathrow and he told the court that "it didn't really occur to me" to tell the police about the pill.

Story Tools (CNN) Take a bite out of your peanut butter sandwich, stop at the traffic signal, then turn left onto Pennsylvania Avenue as you explore Washington, D.C. And don't forget to thank the African-American inventors specifically George Washington Carver (who created dozens of peanut-related products), Garrett Morgan (the man behind the modern stop light) and Benjamin Banneker (mathematician, astronomer and key architect of the nation's capital) who made it possible. These men, and their innovations, aren't the only ones deserving of gratitude. From hands-on creations like pencil sharpeners and golf tees, to less tangible but no less important advancements such as refining sugar and storing blood, black inventors have profoundly impacted our day-to-day lives. That said, it has not been easy for black innovators. Slaves were considered property, not free people who could create and market inventions. Even given a post-Civil War boom of African Americans seeking patents, blacks have long struggled to get jobs, education and recognition.

Douglas Engelbart Born Jan 30 1925 X-Y Position Indicator for a Display System Computer Mouse Patent Number(s) 3,541,541 Inducted 1998 Douglas Engelbart's patent for the mouse is only a representation of his pioneering working designing modern interactive computer environments. A main concern for Engelbert was how the computer could be used as a useful tool in tomorrow's office. While at SRI, he developed a hypermedia groupware system called NLS (oN-Line System). NLS utilized two-dimensional computerized text editing, and the mouse, used to position a pointer into text, was a critical component. During a 1968 demonstration, Engelbart first introduced NLSthis was the world debut of the mouse, hypermedia, and on-screen video teleconferencing. His project became the second host on Arpanet, predecessor of the Internet. Invention Impact Inventor Bio Engelbart was born and grew up near Portland, Oregon. He served in the Navy as an electronics technician during World War II, and received his B.S. from Oregon State University. After working for NASA's Ames Research Laboratory, he received a Ph.D. from the University of California at Berkeley. He then joined the Stanford Research Institute (SRI), earning a number of patents related to computer components. In the 1970s and 1980s, Engelbart was a Senior Scientist at Tymshare, Inc., later acquired by McDonnell-Douglas. In 1989, he founded The Bootstrap Institute, which promotes the development of collective IQ through worldwide computer networks.

Print This Story E-mail This Story Also see below: Borrowing to Help Fund Social Security Plan Go to Original Inventing a Crisis By Paul Krugman The New York Times Tuesday 07 December 2004 Privatizing Social Security - replacing the current system, in whole or in part, with personal investment accounts - won't do anything to strengthen the system's finances. If anything, it will make things worse. Nonetheless, the politics of privatization depend crucially on convincing the public that the system is in imminent danger of collapse, that we must destroy Social Security in order to save it. I'll have a lot to say about all this when I return to my regular schedule in January. But right now it seems important to take a break from my break, and debunk the hype about a Social Security crisis. There's nothing strange or mysterious about how Social Security works: it's just a government program supported by a dedicated tax on payroll earnings, just as highway maintenance is supported by a dedicated tax on gasoline. Right now the revenues from the payroll tax exceed the amount paid out in benefits. This is deliberate, the result of a payroll tax increase - recommended by none other than Alan Greenspan - two decades ago. His justification at the time for raising a tax that falls mainly on lower- and middle-income families, even though Ronald Reagan had just cut the taxes that fall mainly on the very well-off, was that the extra revenue was needed to build up a trust fund. This could be drawn on to pay benefits once the baby boomers began to retire.
