Comprehensive Study

The article deals with the emotional facets of Russian romance and song, in particular, such components as confessional. Russian song and romance literary and musical potential and the means that form the confessional beginning of this genre are analyzed. The article considers the origins of Russian romance and song formation, their connection with Church music, which largely influenced the formation of the confessional beginning of this genre. Special attention is paid to the work of S. Y. Lemeshev - the performer who raised the genre of Russian romance and song to a qualitatively new level and revealed the spiritual potential of Chaikovsky's romances and vividly embodied their confessional. Russian vocal music, whose spiritual, historical and aesthetic value is not in doubt, is the necessity of a comprehensive study of the article; the unexplored nature of the topic; the disclosure of new aspects relating to Russian romances and songs, their performance.

"Upon dealing with Russian religious choral music of the 18th century, one may clearly recognize the outlines of a unique genre, the duhovny kontsert, or in other words, the genre of the religious choral concerto. The subject is suppletory, since very few people in Hungary have dealt with pre-19th century Russian music, let alone with choral repertoire. In the present study, we may follow up the legalization and development of polyphony in church music – which was strictly monophonic up until the 1500s – and the different types of multivocal hymns. We will also get to know the Russian composers of the 17th and 18th centuries, who contributed to the genre with their own works. We will receive a detailed description about concertante techniques used in European vocal music, and about their appearance in the 18th century Russia, which was unique to a cappella choral concerto. We will also get to know more about the structure and characteristics of the duhovny kontsert, while taking a glance at the historical background. In the final part of the study, we will see how the genre influenced subsequent eras, and how the stylistic marks and techniques appear in the choral oeuvre of Rachmaninoff.

The article presents a portrait of the famous Chinese soprano singer Guo Shuzhen, who was one of the first performers of the role of Tatiana in China. It reconstructs in chronological order the stages in the creative path of Guo Shuzhen, who turned 2021 in 94. She began her ascent to the opera Olympus at the Central Conservatory of Beijing, where she was a student of Professor Sheng Xiang, the "Chinese Caruso", and completed her studies at the Moscow Conservatory, which she graduated with honours. In the class of Professor E. K. Katulskaya, а former soloist of the Bolshoi Theater, the singer joined Russian culture and Russian music and mastered the classical opera repertoire. The part of Tatiana seems to have been inherited by her teacher as E. K. Katulskaya sang this part at the Bolshoi Theater. In 1962 Guo Shuzhen took part in the production of the opera "Eugene Onegin" by P. I. Tchaikovsky at the Beijing Tian Qiao Theater and helped in the translation of the opera's libretto into Chinese. To date, Guo Shuzhen is a Professor of Vocal Music and Opera Department at the Central Conservatory of Beijing.

Theoretical Considerations

AbstractStarting with theoretical considerations on redemption in Rosenzweig’s Der Stern der Erlösung, this paper highlights the connection between redemption and choral form in Church music (e.g. in Bach’s Passions and in musical mass). Therefore, according to Rosenzweig, one can clearly distinguish between sacred/religious (geistlich) and spiritual/intellectual (geistig) music. Rosenzweig also writes about renewing Jewish worship through Bach’s vocal music, but we are given scant hints about this. “Bach in die Synagogen!” is nevertheless important, not only as an example for interreligious dialogue, but above all as an invitation to think about redemption in the postmodern condition.

Recent Developments

Focusing on the popular Christmas carol “Once in Royal David’s City” and its annual performance at the King’s College, Cambridge Festival of Nine Lessons and Carols, this chapter looks to recent developments in the theorization of subjectivity to open up new questions about the nature of vocal music in a communal context. The chapter starts by situating the carol in its various cultural-historical contexts (notably nineteenth-century church music, congregational singing, and Anglicanism), with a view to understanding the nested relationships between tradition and national identity. In so doing, it pays particular attention to the carol’s composition, to its arrangement for the festival in 1919, and to the festival’s continued annual broadcast on BBC radio. The chapter ultimately argues that congregational singing as developed in the nineteenth century mobilises what Anahid Kassabian has called “distributed subjectivity,” so extending that concept beyond the recording technologies that form the focus of Kassabian’s own work.

Comprehensive Study

In our initial publication on this subject1) we reported results demonstrating that contrast is the most important factor in producing the high image quality required for reliable image analysis. We also listed the factors which enhance contrast in order of the experimentally determined magnitude of their effect. The two most powerful factors affecting image contrast attainable with sheet film are beam intensity and KV. At that time we had only qualitative evidence for the ranking of enhancing factors. Later we carried out the densitometric measurements which led to the results outlined below.Meaningful evaluations of the cause-effect relationships among the considerable number of variables in preparing EM negatives depend on doing things in a systematic way, varying only one parameter at a time. Unless otherwise noted, we adhered to the following procedure evolved during our comprehensive study:Philips EM-300; 30μ objective aperature; magnification 7000- 12000X, exposure time 1 second, anti-contamination device operating.

Comprehensive Study

Hexachlorobenzene (HCB), a persistent and mobile organochlorine pesticide, occurs in environment. HCB has been shown to be present in human follicular fluid. An objective of the present report, which is part of a comprehensive study on reproductive toxicity of HCB, was to determine the cytologic effects of the compound on ovarian follicles in a primate model.Materials and Methods. Eight Cynomolgus monkeys were housed under controlled conditions at Animal facility of Health and Welfare, Ottawa. Animals were orally administered gelatin capsules containing HCB mixed with glucose in daily dosages of 0.0 or 10 mg/kg b.w. for 90 days; the former was the control group. On the menstrual period following completion of dosing, the monkeys underwent an induction cycle of superovulation. At necropsy, one-half of an ovary from each animal was diced into ca. 2- to 3-mm cubed specimens that were fixed by immersion in 2.5% glutaraldehyde in 0.1 M cacodylate buffer (pH 7.3). Subsequent procedures followed to obtain thin sections that were examined in a Hitachi H-7000 electron microscope have been described earlier.

Comprehensive Study

As part of a comprehensive study of microstructural and mechanical response of metals to uniaxial and biaxial deformations, the development of substructure in 1100 A1 has been studied over a range of plastic strain for two stress states.Specimens of 1100 aluminum annealed at 350 C were tested in uniaxial (UT) and balanced biaxial tension (BBT) at room temperature to different strain levels. The biaxial specimens were produced by the in-plane punch stretching technique. Areas of known strain levels were prepared for TEM by lapping followed by jet electropolishing. All specimens were examined in a JEOL 200B run at 150 and 200 kV within 24 to 36 hours after testing.The development of the substructure with deformation is shown in Fig. 1 for both stress states. Initial deformation produces dislocation tangles, which form cell walls by 10% uniaxial deformation, and start to recover to form subgrains by 25%. The results of several hundred measurements of cell/subgrain sizes by a linear intercept technique are presented in Table I.

Comprehensive Study

A comprehensive study of the microvasculature of the normal rabbit bladder, revealed unusual "capillary glomeruli" along the lateral walls. Here they are characterized as hemal lymph nodes using light microscopy, SEM, TEM, ink injection, and vascular casting.Bladders were perfused via a cannula placed in the abdominal aorta with either 2% glutaraldehyde in 0.1M cacodylate buffer (pH 7.4) for fixation, 10% India ink in 0.9% saline and 0.1M phosphate (pH 7.4) for vessel tracing, or resin (Mercoximethylmethacrylate: catalyst, 4:1:0.3; Ladd Research Industries) for vascular corrosion casting. Infusion pressure was 100mm Hg. Fixed tissue was sectioned from epon-araldyte resin, and stained with toluidine blue for light microscopy, and lead and uranium for TEM. Ink injected tissue was photographed directly from saline-filled bladders illuminated from below. Resin-filled tissue was macerated in 5% KOH and distilled water. Casts were critical point dried, sputter coated with goldpalladium, and examined by routine SEM at 10 KV.
