PROGRAM NOTE

ABOUT THE COMPOSER

From my first encorurter I have had a special resonance with Bill Wortell's art - both his sculpture and his words. His writing entitled The
Shaman of Brotherhood (Lullaby for War) holds special significance in our present world. There's a certain sense of frustration, yet hopefulness at the same time. If only we could find the right melody,

David L. Brunner is acclaimed as a dynamic conductor, inspired teacher and imaginative

the right drum beat to invent a song to end all war.

What notes? What lyrics? It really brings us the larger question of what one person can do to bring peace, compassion and understanding to our

    During the Middle Ages, France experienced various changes after the fall of the Roman Empire. New “barbarian” settlers began to settle across the country, which allowed new aspects of French society to appear as cultures clashed and combined (Neal 41). One aspect of France that changed almost entirely was its religious beliefs; specifically, Christianity became widely accepted among the French. One piece of artwork that illustrates the new religious changes is illuminated manuscripts. Illuminated manuscripts are written pages with painted illustrations first created by monasteries (“Illuminated Manuscripts NGA”). Despite the fact that the artwork in an illuminated manuscript is small in size, illuminated manuscript artwork illustrates the religious beliefs of French society at the time it was created as well as demonstrates and…

    The Brethren is a non fiction book by Bob Woodward and Scott Armstrong that examines the actions and goings-on of the Supreme Court from 1969 to 1976. The book begins with the end of the “Warren era”, otherwise known as the retirement of Chief Justice Earl Warren. While the beginning focuses mainly on the tradition from the Warren Court to the Burger Court, there are several other important happenings, such as the retirement of Justice Abe Fortas. You see many transitions in the first one hundred pages; Warren to Burger, Lyndon B. Johnson to Richard Nixon, liberal court to conservative court, and a bit of Fortas to Blackmun. The most difficult was Warren Burger moving in as Chief Justice; he had expectations from the Nixon administration…

Slaughterhouse Five is one of the greatest anti-war books of all time- it even says so on the back cover. In order to convey his anti-war attitude to the readers, Vonnegut uses many different rhetorical devices in Slaughterhouse Five, including analogy, irony, and satire.…

    Tales From The Borderlands is the result of a surprise collaboration between critically acclaimed adventure game developer Telltale Games and fan favorite first-person shooter studio Gearbox Software. The joint venture plays like a traditional post-Walking Dead Telltale game, but one tonally influenced by the Borderlands license. Is Telltale's brand of choose-your-own-adventure game mechanics and Gearbox Software's absurdist approach to humor a match made in heaven?…

    In How to Spot a Witch by Adam Goodheart, people are taught the many ways in detecting a witch in the 16th and 17th century. In the strategies provided, individuals obtain a sense of similarities that engage in recent tactics. These include: “Devil mark’s and witches’ teats”, “The swimming test”,”Nabbing the Elusive Imp”, and lastly “Asking the right questions.” People in the 21st century would think of these strategies as outrageous but to those in a Puritan society, these tactics were ordinary. However, the tactics used to spot a “witch” aren’t so different in how contemporary society locates so-called criminals.…

    The Divine Command Theory leaves no room for reconciliation with the concepts of Christian liberty and God’s undeserving grace. There is no room for failure according to this concept because we will never be able to keep all of God’s commandments. It is difficult, dare I say impossible, to accept this theory if one is a true believer. By rejecting the concept of grace, one rejects the very compassion and reason Jesus died on the cross for us. The apostle Paul states, “For by grace you have been saved through faith, and this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God-not the result of works, so that no one may boast. For we are what he has made us, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand to be our way of life" (Hollinger, 2002, p.100) (Ephesians 2:8, New Living Translation). I will never be able to earn the grace of God, yet it is his “internal working of grace” that allows me to be ethical (Hollinger, 2002, p.100). "If the Son shall make you free, you shall be free for real" and free from the condemnation of the law.…

    In the ‘Anthropological Study of Religion’, the key point is to understand the history of religion. The reading illustrates the beliefs and theories of social scientists from the nineteenth century to the twentieth century, and now – the twenty-first century. It hovers around the questions of where religion came from and what is a part of religion, such as the culture, language and rituals.
