A Performance

AbstractChristopher Butterfield is a composer and composition teacher. His music has been performed across Canada and in Europe, with recordings on the CBC, Artifact, and Collection QB labels. He is currently the Director of the School of Music in the Faculty of Fine Arts at the University of Victoria. Christopher was born in 1952 in Vancouver, BC. He studied composition at the University of Victoria with Rudolf Komorous and at the State University of New York at Stony Brook with Bülent Arel. He was a performance artist, rock guitar player and composer while living in Toronto between 1977 and 1992, after which he returned to the University of Victoria as Assistant Professor of Composition.I studied composition with Christopher between 2000 and 2005. Earlier this year, I had the opportunity to sit down with him in Victoria. During our interview, I asked him about his life and work, and for his thoughts on how Czech-Canadian composer Rudolf Komorous has influenced composition in Canada over the last few decades.

David Starkweather is the cellist on the faculty of the University of Georgia. He grew up near San Francisco, then attended the Eastman School of Music. This was followed by four years of graduate work at the State University of New York at Stony Brook, where he studied cello with Bernard Greenhouse. In 1985, Starkweather spent half a year in Switzerland for intensive work with Pierre Fournier, earning the famous French cellist's accolade as “one of the best cellists of his generation.” He was awarded a certificate of merit as a semi-finalist in the 1986 Tchaikovsky Competition. Starkweather has been featured on the National Public Radio show Performance Today and in. a PBS one-hour recital program televised nationwide. A review in the Atlanta Constitution praised his “sensitive phrasing and Starkweather's obvious technical facility.” His previous articles for AST were “Methods of Shifting” (Winter 1988) and “Choice of Fingerings” (Summer 1990).

La tesi di dottorato di Erin M. Brooks, oggi Assistant Professor di Storia della musica presso la Crane School of Music della State University of New York at Potsdam, indaga il rapporto tra Sarah Bernhardt, prima interprete del ruolo di Floria in La Tosca, e la musica del suo tempo, compresa quella scritta appositamente per il teatro. All’interno di questo testo viene citata una rilevante scoperta dell’autrice, ossia un manoscritto delle musiche di scena composte da un certo Louis Pister per la pièce di Sardou, conservate oggi presso la National Library of Australia. Scopo di questo contributo è quello di proporre un’edizione critica delle musiche di scena composte da Pister, documento imprescindibile per l’analisi dell’opera di Sardou. Inoltre, si tenterà di ricostruire, attraverso lo spoglio dei periodici contemporanei, la ricezione del dramma La Tosca e il profilo biografico dello sconosciuto compositore della musica incidentale.

Discusses why busted sanctions lead to broken sanction policies; what sanction busters are; assessing the consequences of sanctions busting; why third parties sanctions-bust via trade and aid; sanctions busting for profits—how the United Arab Emirates busted the United States' sanctions against Iran; assessing which third-party states become trade-based sanctions busters; sanctions busting for politics—analyzing Cuba's aid-based sanctions busters; and implications.
