Les Mis Letters - 1.3.1 - The Year 1817

It’s the chapter that feels like the literary equivalent of “We Didn’t Start the Fire,” so I thought the best summary would be through song…

Restoration, monarchy, and the French Academy The third book of Les Miserables starts with context From gibbet to the guillotine, headlines lay the scene Of 1817 and all that will come next.

Mathurin Bruneau (Not a Louis? Gotta go!) Berri for Sicily fell, Brugiere is a hot sell Napoleon is turning green; Louis, Number Eighteen Picard at the Odeon until the curtain fell.

It’s book three of the novel We just met Valjean, and now we’re moving on It’s book three of the novel Until we meet Fantine, it’s 1817.

Abbé Louis: Finance; Talleyran: Chambellan Pellegrini, Bigottini, Potier, applause Lord Byron, Saint-Simon, David d'Angers rock on! Selves to Egypt goes, Colonel to Pasha.

Madame Saqui goes on tour; Prussians from the last war Cardinal Fesch won’t give up yet, (a Bonaparte, I’ll bet) Felicite de La Minais, another Bossuet Fabvier in Lyon, Civil Code is going strong.

It’s book three of the novel We just met Valjean, and now we’re moving on It’s book three of the novel Until we meet Fantine, it’s 1817.

Divorce gets the sack, Catholic church is coming back Hotel de Cluny, La Harpe and Thermes Riverside Conspiracy, Black Pin goes free Cafe Lembin has their champ, Valois in the Bourbon camp.

Elba to St. Helena, everyone is telling ya The Meduse quite a mess, Gericault a success Steamboat (useless thing), fossils and piety French Academy theme: Happy when you study.

It’s book three of the novel We just met Valjean, and now we’re moving on It’s book three of the novel Until we meet Fantine, it’s 1817.

Paer plays L’Agnese for the Duke of Orleans Loyson getting old, envy grows bold Charles Dauton lost his head, Ourika is being read Blue ribbons, big hems, powdered wigs are out again Austerlitz is being changed, government is rearranged Getting over awful weather in our new morocco leather!

No divorce, you’re stuck with me; traitors land on their feet General Bourmont, Bonapartist? (or not?) Pierre-Paul Royer-Collard wants baser to stay small Gregoire wants in parliament, can’t the man just take a hint?

Two years from the Hundred Days, a few years from the new craze. Flotsam floats confusedly, pell-mell through history Parisians now take the stage, arranging a fine game. Where’s Valjean? Who’s Fantine? Someone say before I scream!

It’s book three of the novel We just met Valjean, and now we’re moving on It’s book three of the novel Back to Jean Valjean As Victor Hugo tangents on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on…

…

A big thanks to The Siècle Podcast’s research that made this random idea possible:

El 29 d'agost de 2021, farà deu anys de la mor de Josep Grau Garriga. A Canals Galeria d'art recordem el fet amb una exposició. El 29 d’agost de 2011 moria a St. Mathurin Sur Loire l’artista més internacional nascut a Sant Cugat del Vallès, reconegut per la seva aportació en la renovació de del tapís a nivell de tot l’estat, a través de l’Escola Catalana de Tapís de Sant Cugat. Canals-Galeria d’Art vol recordar aquesta efemèride amb una mostra íntima de pintures i dibuixos poc coneguts d’aquest autor, i la relació que va tindre durant la seva vida amb aquesta galeria. Un dels singulars dibuixos que es veuen a l’exposició és un gouache, en blanc i negre, on ell plasma l’actitud de la seva volguda mascota, la gossa Platina. Una altra de les obres dins el seu estil, retrata la seva àvia amb tons foscos i pinzellada vermella, color habitual en els seus treballs, i un marc dins un altre marc, amb la incorporació d’un tornavís, eina contundent que fa referència al caràcter d’aquella àvia formada en terra santcugatenca. Aquesta exposició coincideix amb altres dues que l’artista té a Sant Cugat, una al Claustre i l’altra al Centre Grau Garriga, on el color vermell és protagonista. Aquest espai, molt vinculat amb aquest creador, ha demanat a l’ajuntament de la ciutat que es dediqui una plaça ò una avinguda a Grau Garriga, i també demana que es faci una ruta senyalitzada a la ciutat, dels llocs que ell va pintar i per això n’ha quedat testimoni, posant plaques indicadores, tal i com han fet en d’altres ciutats amb d’altres artistes. Ell va pintar molts indrets de la vila: els seus camps, ponts, masies, etc... Grau-Garriga es va formar a l’Escola Superior de Belles Arts de Barcelona. Ha estat un artista polifacètic elaborant obres de pintura mural, com les realitzades a l’Ermita del Sant Crist del seu poble natal. Ha pintat, ha fet gravat, vitrall, escultura, environaments... Va ser ell qui va introduir la renovació de l’art del tapís, a nivell de tot l’estat espanyol i ho va fer des de l’Antiga Casa Aymat i des de la secció artística que ell va dirigir de 1957 a 1970. Allà, s’hi creà l’Escola Catalana de Tapís de Sant Cugat i allà es duria a terme la renovació de l’art del tapís. A més del seu treball amb matèria tèxtil, les seves creacions també es decanten per l’obra pictòrica, treballant molt collage i l’assemblage, on el tèxtil hi té un paper destacat. Els darrers anys de la seva vida va viure a Saint Mathurin Sur Loire –Angers-,(França). Entre d’altres distincions, el govern francès li atorgà la distinció de Chevalier de l’Ordre des Arts et des Lettres i l’any 1985 rebé la distinció Creu de Sant Jordi de la Generalitat de Catalunya. Les seves obres s’han exposat a tot el món i són presents a destacats museus i col·leccions públiques i privades d’arreu del món, principalment d’Europa i dels Estats Units.

Nominated for and won National Outstanding Collegiate Band Director Award, in the name of Paula Crider, for Tau Beta Sigma at the Biennium National Conference

Ben Wadsworth

Presented at the Pedagogy into Practice conference at Lee University in Cleveland, TN on June 2.

Article “Schenkerian Analysis for the Beginner” was accepted for the Journal of Music Theory Pedagogy, and should be in print by September. The article covers the steps toward making an analytical graph, as well as special consideration for teaching Schenker to undergraduates. It originated in my teaching at KSU. I'm appreciative of Stephen's support in helping defray the costs of getting permissions from publishers.

Music Theory Online gave the go-ahead to review an upcoming textbook on Schenker by David Damschroder. This review will still need to pass peer review.

The conference paper, “Perceiving the Mosaic: Form in the Mashups of DJ Earworm,” has been accepted at the Popular Music Interest Group meeting at the Society for Music Theory (Jeff Yunek is the principal author; Simon Needle, a BA Theory major, is the third author).

The South-Central Society for Music Theory now has a new and improved website (http://www.scsmt.org/conferences/scsmt_2018/2018_cfp/) thanks to the efforts of Trevor Declercq, who teaches at Middle Tennessee State.

Had a fun time teaching at the SAI. I taught high schoolers how to create their own variations on a tune and harmonic skeleton. Some of them then performed the variations.

Form and Analysis was offered this summer for the first time. Everyone in the course made it through with at least a B and admitted that they enjoy summer classes.

Spent a lot of time in May (and now in August) substituting for different organists and choir directors. An especially enjoyable church to play at was St. Luke’s Presbyterian church in Dunwoody.

Jeff Yunek

This summer, Jeff spent three weeks in Moscow studying Scriabin’s manuscripts and compositional notebooks at the Glinka Museum of Music’s archives and teaching a summer abroad course on Russian music.

In conjunction with Ben Wadsworth and Simon Needle (KSU student), my research on form in the mashups of DJ Earworm was accepted to both a national and international conference (Society for Music Theory and Gesellschaft für Musiktheorie respectively).

A separate, musicology-focused paper on mashups was accepted for the 2018 Annual Meeting of the Society for American Music.
