Global Governance on the Ground
Global Governance on the Ground offers a new approach to how international organizations govern. Through an in-depth look at the case of migration and asylum, the book argues that international organizations (IOs) not only govern global challenges through rules, standards, expertise, and numbers but also through practice on the ground. Much scholarship has been devoted to the question of how IOs become autonomous agents and exercise authority to shape governance outcomes. Far less attention has been given to the way IOs use their field access to govern global issues on the ground-without first going through formal policy channels or renegotiating their authority. The book demonstrates that t...
Daring the Impossible!
In November 1869 the ship Electra sails from Amsterdam. On board is a young missionary Heinrich Dirks, together with his wife Aganetha, who are supposed to begin a new missionary work on the distant island of Sumatra. In the southern part of Batak territory, where Islam is advancing rapidly, their task is to found a new mission station and preach the Gospel. Most of the Batak are still heathen. They worship the spirits of the dead (begus), and are considered to be one of the last cannibalistic tribes in the world. A number of them have turned to Islam. There is not a single Christian in southern Batak-Land. The passengers on the ship are very surprised at the plans of the young missionary. M...
Orlando di Lasso's Imitation Magnificats for Counter-Reformation Munich
After the Mass Ordinary, the Magnificat was the liturgical text most frequently set by Renaissance composers, and Orlando di Lasso's 101 polyphonic settings form the largest and most varied repertory of Magnificats in the history of European music. In the first detailed investigation of this repertory, David Crook focuses on the forty parody or imitation Magnificats, which Lasso based on motets, madrigals, and chansons written by such composers as Josquin and Rore. By examining these Magnificats in their social, historical, and liturgical contexts and in terms of composition theory, Crook opens a new window on the breadth and subtlety of an important composer often harshly judged on his use ...
A Mennonite Heritage
Jacob Suderman was born in 1841 at the Molotschna Colony of South Russia and married Aganetha Weins in 1862. They immigrated in 1879 via Antwerp, Belgium to near Hillsboro, Marion Co., Kansas. He died in 1906.
Juan Esquivel
First study of Juan Esquivel, a highly significant figure in Spanish musical life in the late sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries. Juan Esquivel was a cathedral choirmaster and composer, active in Spain during the period c.1580-c .1623 in which all aspects of the arts flourished, and one of the few peninsular composers of his generation to see his works published. He is known to have produced three large volumes of sacred polyphony - masses, motets, hymns, psalms, magnificats, and Marian antiphons - under the titles Liber primus missarum, Motecta festorum([both published 1608)and Tomus secondus, psalmorum, hymnorum... et missarum (published 1613); they reveal him to be a highly skilled craftsman. This first full-length study of his life and works presents a critical assessment of the man and his music, setting him within the social and religious context of the so-called Counter-Reformation. Beginning by outlining the facts of his life, the book goes on to offer an analysis and assessment of his output. Clive Walkley was until his retirement a lecturer in music and music education at Lancaster University.
