History of Harmony
Fétis' Esquisse, a chronicle of the theoretical tenets of harmony from Franco of Cologne (1230-50) to 1840, is the first known history of harmonic theory. This work predates Hugo Riemann's impressive Geschichte der Musiktheorie im IX.-XIX. Jahrhundert by more than fifty years. Yet little is known about Fétis' Esquisse and few copies are extant. As one of the most lucid musicologists of this time and one of the first to consider the past with an artistic interest, Fétis knew and understood the historical aspects of the art. As a composer and teacher of composition, he appreciated the need for a systematic presentation of musical materials. As a theorist, he had examined and studied the writings of theorists throughout the ages.
Polycultural Synthesis in the Music of Chou Wen-chung
The displacement of Chou Wen-chung from his native China in 1948 forced him into Western-European culture. Ultimately finding his vocation as a composer, he familiarized himself with classical and contemporary techniques but interpreted these through his traditionally oriented Chinese cultural perspective. The result has been the composition of a unique body of repertoire that synthesizes the most progressive Western compositional idioms with an astonishingly traditional heritage of Asian approaches, not only from music, but also from calligraphy, landscape painting, poetry, and more. Chou’s importance rests not only in his compositions, but also in his widespread influence through his extensive teaching career at Columbia University, where his many students included Bright Sheng, Zhou Long, Tan Dun, Chen Yi, Joan Tower, and many more. During his tenure at Columbia, he also founded the U.S.-China Arts Exchange, which continues to this day to be a vital stimulus for multicultural interaction. The volume will include an inventory of the Chou collection in the Paul Sacher Stiftung in Basel, Switzerland.
TESTIMONY
"SCOTLAND" details the trip of Arlin and Tammy to Greece that was interrupted at the Heathrow Airport. All flights were cancelled for a week because of terrorist threats, so they travelled north instead into Scotland, to the famed Rosslyn Chapel, depicted in the ending scene of The Da Vinci Code. Without former knowledge that its builder was Arlin's 15th great-grandfather or that he had any family ties to Scotland, there opened to him a total of 10 visions over the span of 2 days, of the past (and future) of Rosslyn, the chapel, and his Sinclair/St. Clair family line. Different teachers were sent over the years to explain the visions, with the last being the Lord Jesus, who taught Arlin the truth regarding whether He married or faked His death. Readers will also learn the truth about Mary Magdalene, the Knights Templar, and the origins of Freemasonry. They will learn who the enemies are, how the Times of Refreshing were fulfilled, a 20 generation pattern, a Moses parallel, and how Scotland helped fulfill Bible prophecy.
