This document details the creation of a new type of multiple percussion solo from pre-composed percussion ensembles. The author transcribes three works for percussion ensemble by Lou Harrison (1917-2003): Suite for Percussion, movement I, Bomba and Simfony #13 so that they can be performed as percussion solos. Each composition requires a different type of solo version because of the diverse instruments and musical materials in the original scores. Learning to perform these new versions will expand the technical capabilities of a soloist and offers complex challenges not found in the original ensembles. The document includes complete scores and set-ups for each new solo version and discussion of performance practice and techniques to play each work. Although Harrison’s original works were conceived for amateur players, the solo versions require the skills of a virtuoso performer. The new versions confirm the artistic merit of Harrison’s work in a format both practical and satisfying to the solo percussionist. The project illustrates new methods for further developing percussion technique to enable ensemble works to be performed by soloists. The solo versions of Lou Harrison percussion ensembles presented herein result in new repertoire for the percussion soloist.

The metamorphic rocks of the Breakenridge and Cairn Needle Formations are correlated with the Upper Paleozoic and Mesozoic (Jurassic) strata respectively. Those of the Chilliwack Group - Peninsula Formation range in age from Upper Paleozoic to Lower Cretaceous. A gneissic granodiorite on Mount Breakenridge is cored by a younger (Early Tertiary) porphyritic quartz diorite. The Scuzzy granodiorite (Upper Cretaceous) is the main plutonic rock of the area. Between the Jurassic and Mid-Cretaceous the formations were folded into northwest trending antiforms and synforms. Three phases of folding are recognised. Major faults were produced in Mid-Cretaceous time. Contemporaneous with the folding the rocks were migmatized and regionally metamorphosed to form a kyanite-sillimanite facies series in which the metamorphic grade increases rapidly from South to North. The mineral assemblages in pelitic gneisses are considered to have approached equilibrium. The bulk composition of these gneisses may not only have controlled the presence of staurolite but also, through the opaque minerals present, the fs₂,fo₂ of the coexisting fluid phase. Extreme gradients in fluid phase composition (X CO₂) are demonstrated to have existed during the metamorphism of closely associated calc - silicate and dolomitic limestone. An episode of contact metatnorphism, which produced andalusite and sillimanite bearing schists was associated with the emplacement of the Scuzzy fluton. (U. Cretaceous). / Science, Faculty of / Earth, Ocean and Atmospheric Sciences, Department of / Graduate

The Mount Breakenridge area is underlain by metamorphosed strata of the Upper Paleozoic (?) or older Breakenridge Formation, the Upper Paleozoic (?) or Mesozoic Cairn Needle Formation and the Lower Cretaceous Peninsula Formation. These rocks and enclosed ultramafic pods were subjected to Barrovian-type metamorphism prior to the mid-Cretaceous. Locally, pelitic schists developed andalusite and sillimanite in contact aureoles around Late Cretaceous quartz diorites. Ultramafic and related rocks in the map-area and in the Southern Coast Crystalline Complex and the Northern Cascade Mountains may have formed in a marginal basin which was in existence from Mississippian to Late Triassic. Rock and mineral chemistry of pelites indicates that the composition of white mica is sensitive to metamorphic grade, and composition of plagioclase is controlled by rock bulk chemistry. No obvious relationship exists between biotite and staurolite compositions and rock chemistry or metamorphic grade. Distribution of chemical species between coexisting chlorite, biotite, garnet and staurolite implies a close approach to chemical equilibrium. Linear regression analyses of minerals indicate that assemblages in the sillimanite and kyanite zones are dependent on rock bulk chemistry and that apparent univariant reaction assemblages act as local fH2O buffers. The minerals talc (T), forsterite (F), ehstatite (E), anthophyllite (A) in ultramafites may have formed by the following reaction sequence. The reaction T + F = E produced E at 7kb. Uplift and subsequent reduction in pressure rendered enstatite unstable and anthophyllite formed by the reaction T + F = A. Thermodynamic calculations confirm that the equilibrium temperature of the vapour-absent reaction E + T = A is extremely sensitive to iron solid solution so that the topologies of reactions in the system MgO-SiO2-H20 may be a function of the Mg- content of the system. / Science, Faculty of / Earth, Ocean and Atmospheric Sciences, Department of / Graduate

This study provided a broad overview of military base closures and the problems surrounding communities have when redeveloping them. The focus of the study was to analyze the success of the Fort Harrison Transitional Task Force and the Fort Harrison Reuse Authority in their attempt to redevelop Fort Benjamin Harrison, Indiana. The information collected has led me to the conclusion that the base has been successfully redeveloped. The base had a number of fixed geographical and environmental factors that aided in developing a successful plan for redevelopment. The redevelopment plan was comprehensive in nature and followed sound urban planning practices. The plan has been successfully implemented to this point in time. The project will come to completion some time in the next ten years. A final review of the project will have to be done at that time to measure their complete success. / Department of Urban Planning
