The Yale Russian Chorus (YRC) is a unique phenomenon-part singing group, part fraternity, part discussion group-that started in 1953 at Yale at the height of the Cold War, a time when exhibiting a strong interest in matters Russian and Soviet could be seen as suspect in the USA. It developed into a respectable tenor-bass chorus, which has participated in and won prizes at major international choral festivals. In celebration of the 70th anniversary of the Chorus's founding, the YRC Alumni Association has published this new songbook, to document music that the Chorus has sung in the past and to provide a resource for the future. We hope that it will also prove useful for other singing groups that wish to incorporate this music into their repertoire.

The Way I Walk: The Music of Jack Scott tells how the Canadian-born son of an Italian immigrant grew up to become one of the leading rockabilly voices of the era and how he got lost in the shuffle as the music continued to evolve. As Scott racked up hit after hit, deejays flipped his records over and his B-sides also climbed the charts. During 1958, all six sides of his three singles scored in the top 100 with two of them being top ten and a third side topped out at number 11. Canada claims Scott as its "greatest rock and roll singer of all time," however, he was a Detroiter by the time his hits began rolling in. Other artists with far fewer recording achievements found their way into the R&R HOF, but Scott continues to be ignored.What in the World's Come Over You; Burning Bridges; Goodbye Baby; The Way I Walk; Go Wild Little Sadie; Leroy; Geraldine, My True Love, are but a few of his classic early rockers. You may not recognize his name but you certainly know his songs!

You may ask, "Why this book?" Well, you can blame it on my wife. She wanted to write an inspirational story that her middle school students would read. She wanted it to show how a young person can overcome adversity; and with inner resolve and hard work they can still fulfill their dreams. She said that was me. She felt that since my life went from playing the piano before I could read, to cutting off three fingers of my right hand, I had the adversity down. She also said that I didn't just give up. I went on to major in music (piano) in college; and ultimately went on to performing on stage and touring with Eric Carmen. This was the spirit and hard work she was looking for. All-in-all she said, "It was an amazing story that needed to be told." So, I said, "OK, as long as you do the writing." And since you are reading this now, she did write it and the rest is history. The book is done. The book is unique in the fact that I conveyed my life's journey orally to my wife, Janet. She would tape our conversations and take notes. She would then painstakingly type my thoughts, feelings and adventures into "book speak language," so that everyone would understand what I was trying to say.So here it is with humor and love, as told by me and written down by Janet.

Cosplay deals with a community of Danish fans of Japanese popular culture whose fandom makes them distinctly identifiable as productive fans; namely fans who appropriate characters, story worlds and design from manga, anime and video games and who produce cosplay. It is argued that the Danish cosplayers constitute a confident, vibrant community, which sees itself in the midst of actualizing manga and Japanese media worlds against the backdrop of childhood and early youth literacies and intimacies. Cosplay is the first publication in the four-volume series East Asian popular culture in a transnational perspective: A National Museum of Denmark Collection. What happens when anime, manga, video games & photo booths from Japan and South Korean pop music & comics flow into Denmark? This series explores issues pertaining to East Asian popular culture in a Danish context and asks what it can contribute to our understanding of cultural flows in an East/West perspective.

Zimdancehall is a musical movement in Zimbabwe that has grown significantly since 2010. The Zimdancehall Revolution brings together critical essays on various aspects of Zimdancehall culture by scholars from diverse disciplines. Traditionally, music critics and senior academics have not taken Zimdancehall seriously, regarding it as vulgar, transient, bubble gum, lacking depth, and in short, a fad. There were also allegations that the lyrics influenced factionalism, incited violence and glorified drug use and unbridled promiscuity among the youth. This book affords this movement the protracted intellectual engagement that it deserves and argues that Zimdancehall is more than just a musical genre but an everyday culture, a way of life. The genre¿s close association with the ghetto is telling and enables critics to look at it as a social movement, a revolution, or a raw, petulant and raging disturbance of peace by those who live their lives on the margins. Itis, thus, a violent irruption onto the public space by marginalised young people whose presence as artistes creating art from the margins, simultaneously as victims and agents, circulating in a geography that escapes the limits of nationalist ideological and physical territory, in a way subverts communitarian prescriptions and allows young people entry into the world, albeit in a painful, tumultuous and violent way. The essays range from the mapping of the genre¿s historical development to theoretical interventions in understanding the genre and its relationship with various aspects of the Zimbabwean society like politics, gender, religion, language, dance, cultural values and other genres.

Whether in outwardly- or inwardly-directed ceremonies and rituals, the appearances of rulers and their court states, as well as other institutions of power, took place under unique acoustic conditions. The latter, in turn, were embedded not only in an intermedial and sensory structure, but also in a complex system of symbols and signs that conveyed certain messages or evoked particular associations. The contributions to this conference volume are devoted to these multi-layered connections and constellations, their manifestations in sound and silence, their distinctive power and their inherent specifics. The approach to the topic is interdisciplinary and multi-perspective as well as inter-, cross-, and transcultural and focuses on various courtly and urban instances of power between Ragusa, the Ottoman Empire, Habsburg-Burgundy, China, and other cultures at the turn of the 14th century to the beginning of the 18th century.Ob in nach außen oder innen gerichteten Zeremoniellen und Ritualen: Die Auftritte von Herrschern, Herrscherinnen und deren Hofstaaten sowie anderen Machinstitutionen vollzogen sich unter besonderen akustischen Bedingungen. Letztere wiederum waren nicht nur in ein intermediales und intersensorisches Gefüge, sondern auch in ein komplexes System von Symbolen und Zeichen eingebettet, die bestimmte Botschaften vermittelten oder Assoziationen hervorriefen. Diesen vielschichten Verbindungen und Konstellationen, ihren Ausprägungen in Klang und Stille, ihrer besonderen Macht und deren innenwohnenden Spezifika widmen sich die Beiträge des vorliegenden Konferenzbandes. Die Zugriffe auf die Thematik erfolgen unter interdisziplinären, multiperspektivischen sowie inter-, cross- und transkulturellen Blickwinkeln auf verschiedenste höfische und städtische Machtinstanzen zwischen Ragusa, dem Osmanischen Reich, Habsburg-Burgund, China und anderen Kulturen an der Wende zum 14. und dem beginnenden 18. Jahrhundert.

Classical music, jazz, film scores, and the masterpieces of musical theater are in danger of fading into an undeserved oblivion. This crisis extends not only to music, but also to an ignorance of good books, art, theater, and films. Students are emerging from school unfamiliar with our past and unprepared for our future This crisis is exacerbated by our vanishing history, a decline in language, and a pervasive celebrity culture. If this problem is not solved, our nation's cultural and artistic heritage will be irretrievably lost. "Mark! My Words" by Mark Evans is the first book to address the challenge of this crisis. The author, a composer, writer, and broadcaster presents compelling evidence that change and progress are not synonymous and that "new and improved" often means a bigger box and fewer corn flakes .He explains why we have become a nation of hares instead of tortoises. In today's high tech world, students are emerging from school:¿Unfamiliar with any music other than what they've encountered through social media ¿Unable to write, spell, or speak using the English language correctly. ¿As experts on the lives of celebrities, but ignorant of the most basic facts of American history. ¿Spending countless hours texting, tweeting, and downloading on the latest digital devices, but without reading any book that hasn't been assigned to them in years. ¿With a healthy respect for the present, but a complete disdain for the past. In "Mark! My Words" readers will encounter:¿True achievers in the arts who are ignored while we celebrate the accomplishments by geniuses of self-promotion. ¿Teenagers who are mesmerized by pop culture and say they would rather be the assistant to a celebrity than president of a university or a successful business enterprise. ¿Composers of classical music who have turned music into mathematics and have lost their audience as a result, while great composers are dismissed and ridiculed by critics. ¿Promoters of rock, pop, and rap music that have corrupted our musical culture while crying all the way to the bank. ¿Modern artists who promote the credo "Art is what you can get away with." ¿Graduates of prestigious colleges who are who are unfamiliar with the great events of American history, and who can't tell the difference between the words of Thomas Jefferson and those of Karl Marx. ¿Librarians who are busy taking our best books off the shelves of their libraries. ¿Teachers who smile and nod while children make mistakes in reading. ¿Lawyers and government bureaucrats who can't write a simple English sentence ¿English professors who have never read a play by Shakespeare. But "Mark! My Words" isn't just about our cultural problems; it also offers solutions to those problems. You'll meet real heroes in "Mark! My Words" like the inner city teacher who changed the lives of her students by starting her own school. You'll celebrate the achievements of composers, writers, and artists who have stood for integrity in an age of cultural confusion. The solution cannot be found in academia, government, or the entertainment industry. It can be found in our own energy, inspiration, and resolve. This book is dedicated to the proposition that we should pursue "cultural conservation," devoting the same energy to preserving our cultural resources that we devote to preserving our natural resources. "Mark! My Words" details what we can do as a society and what you can do as an individual to embark on an exciting journey of discovery that can truly impact your daily life. If you are a parent, a grandparent, a teacher, a student, or someone who cares about music, books, art, language, and our history as a nation, you will want to read this book.

La base delle strutture auto-organizzate e della frattalità è l'informazione. I moderni principi informativi della programmazione e dello sviluppo dell'intelligenza artificiale, ossia l'incapsulamento, l'ereditarietà e il polimorfismo, sono insiti anche nei frattali. I frattali geometrici sono prima di tutto un incapsulamento, che trasforma un oggetto geometrico ordinario e la sua percezione in un oggetto informativo: la descrizione, le proprietà dei parametri e l'azione (algoritmo, metodi) si combinano. In questo modo, il frattale geometrico diventa informazione. Per i frattali algebrici si aggiunge spontaneamente e si incarna il principio di ereditarietà. Tutte le proprietà informative e gli algoritmi acquisiti per i frattali geometrici vengono ereditati, e nasce un aspetto completamente nuovo dell'auto-organizzazione: si tratta della creazione e dell'uso di livelli di astrazione come nuovi spazi informativi della frattalità. I frattali stocastici ricevono i principi dell'incapsulamento e dell'ereditarietà, cioè sono implementati sulla totalità dell'informazione. Inoltre, si sviluppa spontaneamente un polimorfismo, ossia l'implementazione di proprietà e algoritmi in varie nuove interfacce, nuovi ambienti, che vengono dinamicamente auto-creati per loro.

Die Grundlage für selbstorganisierte Strukturen und Fraktalität ist Information. Die modernen Informationsprinzipien der Programmierung und der Entwicklung der künstlichen Intelligenz, nämlich Verkapselung, Vererbung und Polymorphismus, sind auch den Fraktalen inhärent. Geometrische Fraktale sind in erster Linie eine Verkapselung, die ein gewöhnliches geometrisches Objekt und seine Wahrnehmung in eine Information umwandelt: die Beschreibung, die Eigenschaften der Parameter mit der Aktion (Algorithmus, Methoden) wird kombiniert. Auf diese Weise wird das geometrische Fraktal zur Information. Für algebraische Fraktale wird spontan das Prinzip der Vererbung hinzugefügt und verankert. Alle informativen Eigenschaften und Algorithmen, die für geometrische Fraktale erworben wurden, werden vererbt, und ein völlig neuer Aspekt der Selbstorganisation wird geboren - das ist die Schaffung und Nutzung von Abstraktionsebenen als neue Informationsräume der Fraktalität. Stochastische Fraktale erhalten die Prinzipien der Verkapselung und Vererbung, d.h. sie werden auf der Ganzheit der Information implementiert. Darüber hinaus entwickelt sich spontan ein Polymorphismus, d.h. die Implementierung von Eigenschaften und Algorithmen in verschiedenen neuen Schnittstellen, neuen Umgebungen, die dynamisch für sie selbst geschaffen werden.

La base des structures auto-organisées et de la fractalité est l'information. Les principes d'information modernes de la programmation et du développement de l'intelligence artificielle, à savoir l'encapsulation, l'héritage et le polymorphisme, sont également inhérents aux fractales. Les fractales géométriques sont avant tout une encapsulation, qui transforme un objet géométrique ordinaire et sa perception en une information : la description, les propriétés des paramètres et l'action (algorithme, méthodes) sont combinées. De ce fait, la fractale géométrique devient une information. Pour les fractales algébriques, le principe d'héritage s'ajoute spontanément et s'incarne. Toutes les propriétés informationnelles et les algorithmes acquis pour les fractales géométriques sont hérités, et un aspect complètement nouveau de l'auto-organisation est né - il s'agit de la création et de l'utilisation de niveaux d'abstraction comme nouveaux espaces d'information de la fractalité. Les fractales stochastiques bénéficient des principes d'encapsulation et d'héritage, c'est-à-dire qu'elles sont mises en ¿uvre sur l'ensemble de l'information. En outre, un polymorphisme est spontanément développé - il s'agit de la mise en ¿uvre de propriétés et d'algorithmes dans diverses nouvelles interfaces, de nouveaux environnements, qui sont dynamiquement créés pour eux.
