Addressing questions about the musical life in English nunneries in the later Middle Ages, Yardley pieces together a mosaic of nunnery musical life, where even the smallest convents sang the monastic offices on a daily basis and many of the larger houses celebrated the late medieval liturgy in all of its complexity.
Moving beyond narratives of female suppression, and exploring the critical potential of a diverse, distinguished repertoire, this Companion transforms received understanding of women composers. Organised thematically, and ranging beyond elite, Western genres, it explores the work of diverse female composers from medieval to modern times, besides the familiar headline names. The book's prologue traces the development of scholarship on women composers over the past five decades and the category of 'woman composer' itself. The chapters that follow reveal scenes of flourishing creativity, technical innovation, and (often fleeting) recognition, challenging long-held notions around invisibility and neglect and dismissing clichés about women composers and their work. Leading scholars trace shifting ideas about composers and compositional processes, contributing to a wider understanding of how composers have functioned in history and making this volume essential reading for all students of musical history. In an epilogue, three contemporary composers reflect on their careers and identities.
A compelling account of a career in education. Dr. Bagnall has served as an elementary school teacher, a public and private high school teacher, a professor in community colleges, and an administrator in a college continuing education division. His many challenges contrast sharply with the problems of today's educators, but his story offers insights and inspiration to those who care about schools and those who teach in them.
George Thompson (1775-1846) was married to Ann Bagnall (1777-1865). Both are buried in the "Thompson" Cemetery west of Sunderland, Ontario. This family immigrated to Canada in 1824 or 1825 with their children: John, Mary Ann, Esther, William, George, Joseph and Thomas. They came from the Parish of Tullaghorton, Ireland. Descendants live in Canada (Brock, Bruce and Manitoba areas) and elsewhere. No other localities mentioned in the book.

罗约翰牧师效法基督“道成肉身”,进入中国东北,向当地人民,包括朝鲜人宣讲福音、引领人归主、教导信徒耶稣的教训(太28:19-20)。他建立多间教会,却不当堂会的牧者,从一开始就把棒子交给所栽培的传道人,让他们自治、自传和自养。他也办医疗服务、神学院教育等。即使他离开了当地,那里的教会仍然存留,因为当地教会已能“三自”,在基督里,依靠神,通过圣灵继续茁壮成长。
