Critical Notes

Ethel Smyth's first orchestral work, the Serenade in D Major for Orchestra, was composed in 1889 (and possibly early 1890) and was premiered at a Crystal Palace concert on 26 April 1890. The work was received well by the audience and garnered positive notices in the press. This critical edition is based on a photocopy of the autograph manuscript, now in the Royal College of Music Library, with reference also to a fair copy of the score, now in the British Library. The extensive critical notes document the changes made by the composer, as well as editorial and performance suggestions made by both the composer and August Manns, who conducted the premiere performance. The present whereabouts of Ethel Smyth's autograph score for her Serenade in D Major are unknown. The facsimile supplement presents a photocopy of the score that was made, according to the label on the cover, in August 1993, and which is now in the Royal College of Music Library. The introduction to this edition includes a biographical sketch of August Manns, conductor of the premiere performance.

Chapter 1 presents material that records the origins of the ideas for the Exhibition in the discussions of Prince Albert, Henry Cole, and others. It contains the original Minutes of the Royal Commission and transcripts of the public speeches that were made to promote the Exhibition amongst politicians and industrialists. Documents that attest to the objections of influential figures, the press and the general public can also be found in this chapter along with information about the construction of the Crystal Palace in Hyde Park and accounts of the opening ceremony. The chapter demonstrates that, before the Exhibition could take place, an ideological battle had to be won.

And Performance

Although music was integral to masques, the genre’s visual extravagance tends to overshadow its acoustic elements in scholarly and classroom discussions. This chapter focuses on “Sweet Echo,” the Lady’s song in Milton’s A Mask Presented at Ludlow Castle (Comus), which was performed in 1634 by 15-year-old Alice Egerton. The unusual level of detail that survives about this masque’s performance history, combined with the musical settings extant in Henry Lawes’s autograph manuscript, now held at the British Library, facilitates a suggestive evaluation of early modern song in terms of the rhetorical interplay between lyric, musical setting, and performance context. It also constitutes a striking case study for considering the acoustic impact of women’s singing voices. Milton’s depiction of temptation and self-discipline in Comus, whose moral message is encapsulated in miniature in the Lady’s performance of “Sweet Echo,” hinges on his audience’s experience of song as an acoustic, embodied, and gendered phenomenon.

Critical Notes on Galen's De Venae Sectione Adversus Erasistrateos Romae Degentes [K XI 187–249]

Critical Notes

The treatise was in origin a polemic against the Erasistrateans in Rome whom Galen found to be in opposition to his own views. It is of interest not only for Galen's views on venesection but also for the fragments of the writings of Erastistratus contained in it. The text has not yet appeared in a modern critical edition. The Kühn edition of 1826 is the most recent, but Kühn did not go beyond the work of the Renaissance editors in dealing with the numerous corruptions of the text. The emendations proposed below are occasioned by the want of a satisfactory reading anywhere in the tradition.

Three Dimensional Finite Element

Because of economical reasons, use of the single or multi-head hydraulic press is finding popularity in recent times in assembly work for automotive parts in particular. As this type of press offers opportunity for large parts to be assembled with ease, their design and performance poses complexity and challenge to press designers in regard to the high precision required by assembly work. This paper deals with the design analysis of a twin head horizontal press using the finite element method. The three-dimensional finite element model, developed for the press, gives quantitative results useful to press designers. Some suggestions are made to improve the stiffness and torsional rigidity of the press.

Additional Material

AbstractLondon, British Library, MS Harley 2409, written in the first half of the fifteenth century, contains a text that has come to be referred to as “long Version C” of The Cleanness of Soul, and which for some time has been considered as based on Catherine of Siena’s Dialogo. The latter, however, is wrong, as Jennifer N. Brown (2015) has recently shown. Part of the text is probably based on William Flete’s Documento spirituale, and it is this part which may most correctly be referred to as Cleanness of Soul. It is extant in three versions, of which Version C survives in Harley 2409 and in five other manuscripts. The version in Harley, however, contains additional material from elsewhere. I shall offer a brief discussion of the whole text, its sources and its textual affiliations as well as the first critical edition of what in this long version may more generally be called “Spiritual Teachings by Catherine of Siena”.

History Of

The leading critic in Spain of the early Society of Jesus and its founder was the Dominican theologian Melchor Cano, who believed that the spirituality of Ignatius and his companions was a form of illuminism. During the 1550s he set out his reasons for thinking this in his Censura y parecer contra el Insituto de los Padres Jesuitas, a document he intended to show to the pope. It survives in a number of manuscripts, one of them in the British Library in London. The present article traces the history of the text, which was long considered lost, and examines its portrayal of Ignatius, the Spiritual Exercises, and the Society. It concludes with a critical edition of the British Library manuscript.

Consistent with the NHS quality agenda, Dept. of Health, 20111 there has been a drive to routinely incorporate outcome and performance measurement data in clinical practice. An absolute requirement within NHS services2 are Patient-Rated Outcome Measures (PROMS) which are used by some Royal College of Psychiatry faculties to quantify outcomes, improve accountability, performance management and service. They can also be used to screen for common health problems and ensure the comprehensive assessment of complex Acquired Brain Injury (ABI) Patients who typically present with various neurological and psychiatric comorbidities.The North Bristol NHS Trust Outpatient Clinic at The Frenchay Brain Injury Rehabilitation Centre and The Rosa Burden, Southmead Hospital, conducts new assessments and regular patient reviews for referrals from South West England. As part of a quality improvement initiative a semi-structured process of assessment was trialled, to improve patient experience by providing a comprehensive initial assessment, improving treatment productivity and reducing over-running clinics.MethodReferrals were audited and common reasons for referrals identified. Questionnaires and tools used in the clinic were reviewed and those most frequently used were compiled. The evidence for questionnaires utilized for different psychiatric comorbidities and applicability in ABI was examined in the literature. The finalized patient questionnaires booklet section and their sequence was decided based on expert peer recommendations and patient feedback. The collateral section was similarly developed with some questionnaires modified for operational reasons.SECTION ONE: SELF RATED PRE-ASSESSMENT QUESTIONNAIRERivermead Post Concussion Symptoms Questionnaire, Patient Health Questionnaire (15): Somatic Screen, Patient Health Questionnaire-9: Depression screen, General Anxiety Disorder 7: Anxiety screen, Mood Disorder Questionnaire: Bipolar Affective Disorder screen and the Civilian Version PTSD Checklist.SECTION TWO: CARER/FAMILY PRE-ASSESSMENT QUESTIONNAIREModified Overt Aggression Scalescreen for aggression, Neuropsychiatry Inventory Questionnaire: assesses psychiatric symptoms in patients with neurological disordersOutcomeThe final booklet was divided into three sections:Patient-Rated, ObserverRated and Clinician Section. Consultation efficiency was improved with the Patient and Observer rated sections completed prior to the initial assessment. The checklist is used for all initial assessments with good uptake and allowed for standardization of clinical information gathering. PROMs for mood are collected at each clinic appointment with other domains repeated if abnormal at initial clinic assessment or clinically relevant.References Fossey M, Parsonage M.
