A Shropshire Lad in British music since 1940: decline and renewalWhittingham, Kevin Robert 31 January 2008 (has links)
This thesis surveys all the found British settings of A. E. Housman's A
Shropshire Lad (1896) but concentrates on the period after 1940, which, the author
believes, has not previously received critical attention. A new study is timely
especially because of a renewed interest among composers in the poet's highly
influential lyric collection. The author found about 110 British composers with about
340 settings of individual poems not listed in previous Shropshire Lad catalogues.
This number adds more than fifty per cent to the known repertoire.
The search was not restricted to art song; it found, in addition, multi-voice
settings, settings in popular styles and non-vocal music. Largely because of the work
of broadly trained musicians, there is now a much wider range of medium, style and
compositional technique applied to A Shropshire Lad. There are also new ways in
which words and music relate. Different catalogues in the thesis list settings according
to period, genre, poem and composer.
The author hopes to broaden the British canon of Shropshire Lad music,
which, despite recent commissions and competitions, is still mostly limited to the
major composers of the English musical renaissance (the early decades of the
twentieth century). Accordingly, the catalogues let performers know how to obtain the
settings.
In preliminary chapters, the thesis attempts a literary examination of A
Shropshire Lad and reviews the already-researched pre-Second World War settings. It
then divides the post-1940 period into two parts–a Decline (to c.1980) and a
Renewal (since c.1980)–and surveys them. The compositions of this period are
placed in three tonal-stylistic streams of development: a mainstream tonal with ultraconservative
and atonal tributaries. Then follow detailed literary-musical analyses of post-1940 songs, song cycles, collaborative sets, and multi-voice settings. A final
summary draws together the conclusions of the individual chapters, summarizes and
evaluates the achievement of the post-1940 composers, and suggests how further
research might be carried out. / Art History, Visucal Arts & Music / D. Litt. et Phil. (Musicology)

An Archaeological Study of Architectural Form and Function at Indian Key, FloridaDriscoll, Kelly A 31 October 2003 (has links)
Indian Key Historic State Park is a small island located on the Atlantic Ocean side of the Florida Keys, near Islamorada. Before it was bought by the state of Florida in 1970, Indian Key had been the setting for a number of historically significant activities. The most well known of these is the 1840 raid on the people and buildings that made up a small wrecking village, established on the island by Jacob Housman in the early 1830s. The limestone foundations of these structures are the main attraction to today's visitor to the park.
There is more to the story of Indian Key, though, than the Housman period and the structural remains left behind from this stage of the island's history. Almost immediately after the near destruction of the island in 1840, the Florida Squadron of the Navy took over, constructing their own buildings, and re-using some of the previously constructed foundations. This cycle of rebuilding and re-use continued for another hundred years, with families and fishers trying to inhabit and profit from Indian Key.
The focus of this thesis is to examine the foundations and associated archaeological features of Indian Key in order to determine better periods of use and re-use for the buildings that have been identified through archaeological investigations. This research was conducted in order to examine the site's architecture through an archaeological perspective; it is by no means an attempt at a complete architectural study of the site. Rather, it is an effort to examine the entire island of Indian Key, by focusing on the history of the buildings that helped make it an important piece of Florida's past.

Historical Archaeology of the Indian Key (8MO15) Warehouse: An Analysis of Nineteenth-Century CeramicsLamb, Lisa Nicole 16 October 2003 (has links)
This thesis describes the archaeological investigation of the Warehouse Complex on Indian Key (8MO15), Monroe County, Florida, through the study of the ceramics recovered from excavations conducted there by the State of Florida from 1972 to 1973 and by the University of South Florida from 1998 to 2002. The Warehouse Complex is composed of two distinct architectural areas, referred to as Feature A and Feature C. This complex lies on the north shore of Indian Key, located in the Atlantic Ocean in the Middle Keys near Islamorada, Florida. The town of Indian Key was founded in the early 1820s, and was burned by a group of Spanish Indians in 1840, during the Second Seminole War.
Despite the disbanding of the main community at Indian Key following the 1840 attack, the island and its remaining structures experienced re-use throughout the 1800s and into the early 1900s by various groups, including the United States Navy, farmers, shipbuilders, and fishers. Despite its relatively populated history, little historical documentation exists detailing the occupation of Indian Key throughout the nineteenth century. This study used current historical archaeological methods to examine the ceramics left behind in archaeological deposits in the warehouse. This examination had several goals: to add to the known history of the island, to re-construct the lifeways of the people who lived at Indian Key, to determine the use (and re-use) of this specific area on the island, and to identify specific functional areas within the warehouse.

The Study of George Butterworth¡¦s ¡§A Shropshire Lad¡¨Yang, Shu-fan 03 February 2012 (has links)
A Shropshire Lad by English composer George Butterworth (1885-1916) is a song cycle composed by adopting six poems of the same title ¡§A Shropshire Lad¡¨ by Alfred Edward Housman (1859-1936). These poems depict the life of a pure young man, which passes through love, separation, and death by symbolical and sarcastic writing skill, and the composer composed the songs exquisitely, creating these six songs with different styles, and presenting his ingenious conception within the music and lyrics.
The study has five major components: an introduction to the composer, George Butterworth; the art songs of George Butterworth; an introduction to the poet Alfred Edward Housman; the composing background of A Shropshire Lad, and the analysis as well as interpretation of six-songs of A Shropshire Lad. It is hoped that through this study, singers can have a better understanding of the hidden meaning of the poems and of how composers use music to express the wonders of poetry. They can then in turn interpret this song cycle in the most apposite mood and with the most appropriate way of singing.
