11	Lay Spirituality in Fourteenth-Century England Field, Carol Hammond 05 1900 (has links) In fourteenth-century England, a form of lay spirituality emerged, influenced by the writings and example of the famous mystics, both English and continental, of that period, but much affected by other developments as well. Against the background of socio-economic and political change, the emergence of lay spirituality is examined, with particular emphasis upon continuity and change within the church, the religious instruction of the age, and the spirituality of the English mystics. Finally, the sole surviving written record of lay spirituality of the period, The Book of Margery Kempe, is investigated, along with its author, Margery Kempe - pilgrim, visionary, and aspiring mystic. lay spirituality The Book of Margery Kempe English mystics mysticism
12	Reading Handel: A Textual and Musical Analysis of Handel's Acis and Galatea (1708, 1718) Chang, Young-Shim 08 1900 (has links) The purpose of this dissertation is two-fold: one is to analyze the narratives of Acis and Galatea written by Ovid, and the two libretti by Handel's librettists including Nicola Giuvo (1708) and John Gay (1718) with John Hughes and Alexander Pope; the other is to correlate this textual analysis within the musical languages. A 1732 pastiche version is excluded because its bilingual texts are not suitable for the study of relationships between meaning and words. For this purpose, the study uses the structural theory- -mainly that of Gérard Genette--as a theoretical framework for the analysis of the texts. Narrative analysis of Acis and Galatea proves that the creative process of writing the libretto is a product of a conscious acknowledgement of its structure by composer and librettists. They put the major events of the story into recitative and ensemble. By examining the texts of both Handel's work, I explore several structural layers from the libretti: the change of the characterization to accommodate a specific occasion and the composer's response to contemporary English demand for pastoral drama with parodistic elements, alluding to the low and high class of society. Further, Polyphemus is examined in terms of relationships with culture corresponding to his recurrent pattern of appearance. Giuvo, Nicola, b. ca. 1680. Gay, John, 1685-1732.

13	This Creature, Bride of Christ Bober, Nicholas Bradburn 05 1900 (has links) This Creature, Bride of Christ is a composition for soprano, alto flute, viola, marimba, and computer running custom software for live interactive performance in the Max/MSP environment. The work is a setting of excerpts from The Book of Margery Kempe, an early autobiographical manuscript depicting the life of a Christian mystic. The thesis discusses the historical, sociological, and musical context of the text and its musical setting; the use of borrowed materials from music of John Dunstable, Richard Wagner, and the tradition of change ringing; and the technologies used to realize the computer accompaniment. A score of the work is also included in the appendix. Margery Kempe digital signal processing Wagner Parsifal computer music Electronic music.

15	Nouveaux verres borophosphates de sodium et de calcium. Corrélation structure-propriétés physico-chimiques. Application dans le domaine biomédical Ducel, Jean-François 23 June 1993 (has links) (PDF) Cette étude a porte sur la caractérisation tant physico-chimique que structurale de verres issus du système NaPO3-Na2B4O7-Ca5(PO4)3OH pouvant servir a des applications dans le domaine biomédical. Dans une première partie, les verres de composition (1-x) NaPO3-xNa2B4O7 ont été étudies. L' évolution inattendue des propriétés physicochimiques a pu être correlée a la structure caractérisée par RMN (31P MAS et 11B) et spectroscopies vibrationnelles (infrarouge et diffusion Raman). Dans une deuxième partie, l' effet d' addition de l' hydroxyapatite dans les verres borophosphates de sodium montre un renforcement de certaines propriétés (dureté et résistance a l'eau) lie a des modifications structurales du réseau vitreux. La dernière partie de ce travail a été consacré à la recherche et à la mise au point d'un procédé d'obturation de carie dentaire consistant a fondre, in situ, ces matériaux grâce au pouvoir thermique d'un laser CO2.
