    Our Selves: Photographs by Women Artists
    Conceived in conjunction with an exhibition opening at The Museum of Modern Art in 2022, this publication focuses on an exceptional gift of 108 photographs by women artists from the collection of Helen Kornblum, distinguished member of MoMA's Committee on Photography. The publication will highlight this significant acquisition, which contributes to the Museum's continuous effort to research and rethink twentieth century art history narratives by amplifying the presence of women artists. Like the exhibition, the book will be structured around thematic groupings, arranged chronologically, and each prefaced by a short text. Special attention will be devoted to topics such as: pictorialist portraiture, surrealist explorations, portraits of artists, the social documentary, advertising, photography and language, photojournalism, gender and the media, still life and domesticity, performance for the camera, and to the camera as a means of personal artistic expression.From modernists such as Claude Cahun and Yva to contemporary photographer Catherine Opie, many of the works in this volume elicit conversations about queer subjectivity. Themes related to colonial history and indigeneity are addressed in photographic projects by both Native artists such as Cara Romero and Hulleah Tsinhnahjinnie, and non-Native practitioners including Graciela Iturbide, Sharon Lockhart, Meridel Rubenstein, Tatiana Parcero, and Tracey Moffatt. Lorna Simpson and Carrie Mae Weems offer uniquely feminist African-diasporic viewpoints on the relationship of race and gender. Our Selves presents a series of new perspectives that rise to our current moment, addressing the urgent need for more intersectional conversations in the arts.

    Counting Statistics for Dependent Random Events
    This book on counting statistics presents a novel copula-based approach to counting dependent random events. It combines clustering, combinatorics-based algorithms and dependence structure in order to tackle and simplify complex problems, without disregarding the hierarchy of or interconnections between the relevant variables. These problems typically arise in real-world applications and computations involving big data in finance, insurance and banking, where experts are confronted with counting variables in monitoring random events.In this new approach, combinatorial distributions of random events are the core element. In order to deal with the high-dimensional features of the problem, the combinatorial techniques are used together with a clustering approach, where groups of variables sharing common characteristics and similarities are identified and the dependence structure within groups is taken into account. The original problems can then be modeled using new classes of copulas, referred to here as clusterized copulas, which are essentially based on preliminary groupings of variables depending on suitable characteristics and hierarchical aspects.The book includes examples and real-world data applications, with a special focus on financial applications, where the new algorithms' performance is compared to alternative approaches and further analyzed. Given its scope, the book will be of interest to master students, PhD students and researchers whose work involves or can benefit from the innovative methodologies put forward here. It will also stimulate the empirical use of new approaches among professionals and practitioners in finance, insurance and banking.

    From the Ashes of History (eBook, ePUB)
    In recent years, calls for reparations and restorative justice, alongside the rise of populist grievance politics, have demonstrated the stubborn resilience of traumatic memory. From the transnational Black Lives Matter movement's calls for reckoning with the legacy of slavery and racial oppression, to continued efforts to secure recognition of the Armenian genocide or Imperial Japan's human rights abuses, international politics is replete with examples of past violence reasserting itself in the present. But how should scholars understand trauma's long-term impacts? Why do some traumas lie dormant for generations, only to surface anew in pivotal moments? And how does trauma scale from individuals to larger political groupings like nations and states, shaping political identities, grievances, and policymaking? In From the Ashes of History, Adam B. Lerner looks at collective trauma as a foundational force in international politics--a "shock" to political cultures that can constitute new actors and shape decision-making over the long-term. As Lerner shows, uncovering collective trauma's role in international politics is vital for two key reasons. First, it can help explain longstanding tensions between groups--an especially relevant topic as scholars examine the transnational resurgence of nationalism and populism. Second, it pushes the discipline of International Relations to more completely account for mass violence's true long-term costs, particularly as they become embedded in longstanding structural inequalities and injustices. While IR scholarship has largely dismissed non-systematic, latent phenomena like trauma, Lerner argues that collective trauma can help draw the lines between international political groups and frame the logics of international political action. Drawing on three historical cases that uncover the impact of collective trauma in Indian, Israeli, and American foreign policymaking, From the Ashes of History demonstrates the broad utility of collective trauma as a theoretical lens for investigating how mass violence's legacy can resurge and dissipate over time.

ROBERT ALLWORTH (b.1943) Track 3 - BRADGATE PARK (2006) Bradgate Park was composed at the request of DEREK WARD in memory of his mother SUSIE BRADGATE-WARD. Bradgate Park is located in Leicestershire, England.

ERIC GROSS (b.1926) Track 9 - MINIATURE FOR RAY OP.195A (1994) This simple, relaxed composition was, in it's original version, a piece for solo piano, dedicated to the pianist Ray Lemond.

This version has previously been released on JADE CD 1078 (Fandango). EG ROBERT ALLWORTH (b.1943) Track 10 - ANTHEM FOR THE BLESSED MARY MACKILLOP (2007) Composed for the Sisters of Saint Joseph of The Sacred Heart. This composition is a reworking of an earlier piece titled TWILIGHT, composed for the Sydney Mandolins. The music has a stately procession - like quality and certainly captures the serene stature of MARY MACKILLOP beatified in 1995 by Pope John Paul II in Sydney, Australia. Sr. Margaret T Cusack of the Order of Saint Joseph of the Sacred Heart has been a great influence on the composer's devotion to Blessed MARY MACKILLOP. Sr. Margaret T Cusack RSJ also advised the following information: Mary Mackillop made her religious profession on the 15th August 1867 in Adelaide, South AUSTRALIA. On June 1st Mary Mackillop was blessed by Pope Pius IX in 1873. The rule of the Congregation of the Sisters of Saint Joseph of the Sacred Heart was finally approved by Pope Leo XIII in 1888.

DEREK STRAHAN (b.1935) Track 14 - PERPETUAL EMOTION for Flute and Guitar (1963) Revised and completed 2005. Perpetual Emotion evinces that self-eviscerating state of constant emotional excitation known as being in love which as G. B. Shaw astutely noted leads to a state of temporary insanity in which the application of rational thought is impossible. Following a languorous prelude, fast chromatic passages are propelled by urgent guitar chords and self propagating phrases are hurled around with decreasing regard for either form or structure, (though the latter is sufficiently indicated to show what is being disregarded.) DWS CREDITS: Track 1 - Studios 301 Sound Engineer Peter Thomas 2/9/95 Tracks 2 & 3 - 2MBS-FM Kerry Joyner Sound Engineer 13/4/2006 Tracks 4, 5, 6, 7 & 8 - 2MBS-FM Kerry Joyner Sound Engineer April 1996 Track 9 - 2MBS-FM Kerry Joyner Sound Engineer 17/5/98 Track 10 - 2MBS-FM Kerry Joyner Sound Engineer January 2007 Tracks 11 & 12 - Recorded at the University of Queensland Peter Freeman Sound Engineer 9/12/94 Track 13 - 2MBS-FM Edda Filson Sound Engineer 14/12/94 Track 14 - New Music Theatre Sydney Australia 27/3/2005 This is the 101st Compact disc in the JADE Series of Australian Composers and the 19th year (2008) of production.

    Overture
    OVERTURE - JADE CD 1123 An anthology of works by Australian composers in a wide range of styles and musical groupings: saxophone quartet, mandolin ensemble, solo mandolin, solo piano, solo organ, and wind ensemble with percussion. Tracks 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 - ERIC GROSS (b.1926) SUITE LATIN AMERICAN op.302 (2008) for multi-instrumentalist Saxophone Quartet. The TANGO CONCERTANTE, completed in 2007 received a very enthusiastic reception by the members of the Fo(u)r Fans - Saxophone Quartet to whom this Suite is dedicated. It was therefore decided to create a suite of movements in a Latin American style. The title of each movement indicates the style, mood and rhythmic provenance of the musical content, with the BALADA providing a calm and gentle contrast to the other, livelier movements. Because of the versatility of the instrumentalists for whom the suite has been composed, the composer succumbed to the temptation to provide additional variety of timbre by utilising also instruments other than the various saxophones, which the members of this ensemble play so expertly. Track 1 - Tango Concertante Track 2 - Rumbaphonics Track 3 - Balada Track 4 - Samba Track 5 - Hat This Suite was recorded privately in Weimar, Germany in 2008 and the fifth movement, "Hatdance" will be recorded in due course. The members of the Fo(u)r Fans- Saxophone Quartet are: • Ruediger Trosits-Sopr.Sax/Flute/Bb Clt. • Berndt Klinke-Alto Sax/Sopr.Sax/Flt/Picc./Bb Clt./B'Clt. • Holger Arndt-Ten.Sax/Eb Clt./ B'Clt. • Jens Kaiser-Baritone Sax/Bb Clt. Track 8 - ERIC GROSS. SALLYGRAPHY FOR PIANO is a musical tribute to pianist Sally Mays who is heard here playing this light-hearted piece. Track 7 ANN CARR-BOYD (b. 1938) MUSIC FOR AN IMAGINARY ITALIAN FILM (1985) Music for an Imaginary Italian Film was originally performed and commissioned by the Australian Mandolin Society and the First Performance was at one of their music camps. The music was later recorded at Studios 301 in 1992 with the Large Ensemble of the Sydney Mandolins conducted by Adrian Hooper. Music for an Imaginary Italian Film has proved to be one of Ann Carr - Boyd's most popular pieces together with her FANDANGO (1982), also written for the Sydney Mandolins. This track is the new digitally mastered recording especially created for this compact disc. Track 8 ROBERT ALLWORTH A WINTER'S LANDSCAPE (1972-2010) Pianist John Martin plays this piece which was revised and is dedicated to the memory of DEREK FRANCIS LEE WARD, to whom this album is also dedicated. ROBERT ALLWORTH Tracks 9, 10, 11, 12 Originally written for organ, this sets of devotional pieces was revised for Piano Solo 2010 for Blessed Mary McKillop, and are here performed by Sally Mays.

    Forever Sunset
    FOREVER SUNSET - JADCD 1116 An anthology of works by Australian composers in a wide range of styles and musical groupings ranging from mandolin & strings, tenor recorder & piano, voice with flute & piano, through mandolin ensemble, solo piano works and works for brass ensemble and duos for trumpet & piano. ROBERT ALLWORTH (b.1943) Track 1. FOREVER SUNSET (2004) for Mandolin-Violin-Viola and 'Cello FOREVER SUNSET takes ideas from the poem of the Lotus Eaters by Lord Alfred Tennyson. The music is full of colouristic effects and is an evocative portrayal of a Sunset. IAN SHANAHAN (b.1962) Track 2 HARMONIA (in PP) (2001) for Tenor Recorder and Piano harmonia [Greek] = 'a fitting together' = compositio[nis] [Latin] = 'a musical composition' (i.e. a harmonious, well-structured assemblage of sounds/silences), and - of course - 'harmony' = a homophony = chorale, recitative, ..., pp [Italian abbreviation for 'very quiet'] = Peter Platt = the Perfect Professor. To 'Prof ... a Persistence of (Pneuma [Greek]) = 'wind' and 'spirit': "Funereal yet serene - a dignified mourning" (of surprising starkness and textural simplicity), for one who Plucks Psalteries in Pleromatic Paradise... Lest We Forget. Harmonia (in PP), written in memory of Professor Peter Platt, employs none of my typically abstract, complex paracompositional schemata: rather, I approached this concise piece much more humbly - in a way that I imagine 'Prof himself might have quietly begun to sketch out one of his own modest works. BETTY BEATH (b.1942) Tracks 3 and 4 MEETING IN THE ROAD and THE SHE WOLF Meeting in the Road and The She-wolf are the 3rd and 4th songs from the cycle for voice, flute and piano titled POINTS IN A JOURNEY. This cycle of five songs was commissioned by North Adams State College, Massachusetts. The First Performance took place during the period of my residency at the College on the 7th October, 1987. Meeting in the Road, the setting of a text by an anonymous Chinese poet of the 1st Century BC touches on a universal theme...the brief meeting which somehow touches us in a way we shall always recall. In writing from a distance of 2,000 years he describes the place where he lived as 'easy enough to find, easy to find and difficult to forget'. In a narrow road where there was not room to pass My carriage met the carriage of a young man. And while his axle was touching my axle in the narrow road, I asked him where he lived. The place where I live is easy enough to find, Easy to find and difficult to forget. The gates of my house are built of yellow gold, The hall of my house is paved with wihte jade, On the hall table flagons of wine are set, I have summoned to serve me dancers from Han-tan. In the midst of the courtyard grows a cassia tree, And candles on it's branches flaring away in the night. The She-wolf, with words by the Queensland poet, Jena Woodhouse, describes her passionate relationship with her mother. My mother gave me tempest strife and storm, Flickerings of wisdom lit from within by fires of ancient lore And left the imprint of her Celtic soul A sense of something dangerous and passionate It was she who snarled defiance at the poverty that menaced her And hurled her gypsy curses in the teeth of bitter need, And held her head still higher before strangers And damned the world for misery and greed, It was she who took in homeless dogs to feed and care for, And sad old men who drank too much and died And she who'd weep her grief at each bereavement, The nightmare visions crowding in her eyes, And chide her children for their trespasses, And toil until she dropped to give them bread, And then in feral rage devour them, And bundle them to bed with growls and muttered benedictions, And watch them grow with pride That flashed like lightning in her tawny gaze, And give them heart to sing And pit their strength against the storm. ERIC GROSS (b.1926) Tracks 5 and 6 KLAVIERSTÜCK 1V op.225 (1998) and PLAYFUL SALLY op.300 (2006) "KLAVIERSTÜCK IV", one of a series of five Klavierstücke, is subtitled "quasi un' improvvisazione" and is meant to convey, within a formal structure, liberal amounts of contrasting tempi, dynamics, phrasing and moods, such as would be found in an improvisation. It is also intended to give the performer the opportunity to contribute creatively to the realization of the music in a free and unrestricted manner. After the opening statements, which alternate emphatic and cantabile phrases, a gentle section gives way to semiquaver phrases which increase in volume and speed and lead to several climaxes. These semiquaver phrases appear in various inversions and guises, eventually leading back into a gentler melodic section, previously heard soon after the beginning. A cadenza builds up to a strong climax after which the work is brought to it's close with a succession of pianistic statements.'Klavierstück IV' was originally written for Katarina Kroslakova as a gesture of thanks for participating in an earlier recording of a composition of mine for mandolin and piano. "PLAYFUL SALLY" is dedicated to it's performer Sally Mays because of her strong and generous support of Australian composers. This composition is a lighthearted tribute to her outstanding musicianship and technical excellence. After commencing mischievously in the style of a two-part invention, the piece playfully employs cross-rhythms and unexpected harmonic aberrations to mislead performers and listeners alike. EG. ANN CARR-BOYD (b.1938) Track 7 FOXTROT (1993) FOXTROT was commissioned by Adrian Hooper, Director of the Sydney Mandolins, to be performed by his ensemble. The music is another dance form piece and is meant as a companion piece to Fandango, one of Ann Carr-Boyd's most popular compositions, which was also written for the Sydney Mandolins. ERIC GROSS Track 8 HABAÑERA-SERENADE op.31/4 (1960-2007) This composition, originally for Violin and Piano, was written as a study in an 'Habañera' style of composition and has also been transcribed for Piano alone. This version for Soprano Saxophone and Piano was arranged in 2007 especially for the two performers on this recording, Berndt Klinke (Soprano Saxophone) and Idil Ugur ( Piano) for a performance in Germany. The music relies on it's obvious melodic appeal based on it's ternary form and it's minor-to-major key- transformation. EG. DEREK STRAHAN (b.1935) Track 9 SEISMIC MURMURS for Solo Piano (1992) - Derek Strahan - piano This is the closing section from Pt. 1 of Atlantis Variations for Solo Piano, one of several works written to develop material for inclusion in a proposed cycle of 4 operas suggested by Plato's account of the rise and fall of Atlantis. A 3-note whole tone figure heard as a bass rumble at the outset and continuing, represents the trident of the Greek sea god Poseidon, by which he controlled the movement of wind and tides. The motif for Poseidon is immediately heard over it followed by a more elegiac theme for his consort as ruler of Atlantis, the native woman Cleito. A monumental theme for their son Atlas follows. Atlantis and the Atlantic Ocean are named after him. The responsibility of rule over his expanding empire is figuratively implied in the image of Atlas bearing the world on his shoulders. These and other motifs form the basis for passages signifying the seismic instability of the area in the Atlantic known as Dolphin's Ridge where Atlantis is placed by some writers. Heraldic fanfares depicting the Golden Age of Atlantis conclude this section. D.W.S. Recording, New Music Theatre, 8/7/2002. The complete work "Atlantis Variations" can be heard on the Revolve CD of that title RDS009. DANIEL WILLIAMS (b.1935) Tracks 10 and 11 DEO GRATIAS (2007) and FANFARE FOR HORROCKS (2007) Fanfare for Horrocks and Deo Gratias were written in 2007 by trumpeter and composer, Daniel Williams. Williams took on the position of Head of Bands at the The King's School in 2006, and it was there these compositions emerged. Deo Gratias was commissi

Track 1 ROBERT ALLWORTH (b. 1943) MEMORIES OF RAIN (1988) for Baroque Lute, recorded, mixed and mastered, Shearwater Digital, by John Bushby. Baroque Lute by Michael Lowe, Oxford 2002, tuned A=392. Memories of Rain was written for Susan King in 1988, shortly after the Lute Concerto for Susan King was composed. The music in Memories of Rain uses the Twelve Note technique and is meditative in character and also uses colourful effects to create an atmosphere of memories of rain. Recorded in Wylam, Northumberland, U.K. 20/09/2008. Memories of Rain was performed by Susan King in the opening concert of the Belgium International Lute Festival. Tracks 2, 3, 4 & 5 ANN CARR-BOYD (b. 1938) SUITE FOR FLUTE AND HARPSICHORD (1992) Edgars Kariks Flute and Ann Carr-Boyd Harpsichord. - Prelude-Badinerie-American Dream-Toccata. The Suite was commissioned by Australian Harpsichord player Audley Green and first performed by her and flautist John Wion in Canberra. PRELUDE - A slightly tongue- in- cheek look at American academic music of the latter part of the 20th Century when the 12 Note system ruled. BADINERIE - A return to the music and ideas of J. S. Bach with the composer's own ideas about harmonies and quirky patterns added. AMERICAN DREAM - This music was written after the composer attended a meeting at a large theatre in Hartford, Connecticut, where a congregation of about 3000 people was commemorating Martin Luther King Day and as a result, Ann Carr-Boyd wrote the music whilst in the USA. The Flute represents the voices of the various preachers and the harpsichord the congregation. TOCCATA - A fast paced movement that speaks of the vitality of the American people and incorporates a theme that is now part of the America - FANFARE FOR THE COMMON MAN by Aaron Copland. 2MBS-FM recording 15/03/92 Sound Engineer Charles Barton. Recorded in the Summer Home of Rosemary Parle, Greenwich, NSW. Track 6 ANN CARR-BOYD (b. 1938) MUSIC FOR AN IMAGINARY ITALIAN FILM (1985) Music for an Imaginary Italian Film was originally performed and commissioned by the Australian Mandolin Society and the First Performance was at one of their music camps. The music was later recorded at Studios 301 in 1992 with the Large Ensemble of the Sydney Mandolins conducted by Adrian Hooper. Music for an Imaginary Italian Film has proved to be one of Ann Carr - Boyd's most popular pieces together with her FANDANGO (1982), also written for the Sydney Mandolins. This track is the new digitally mastered recording especially created for this compact disc. Track 7 ANN CARR-BOYD (b.1938) FANDANGO (1982) Fandango was composed in 1982 for Adrian Hooper's Sydney Mandolins and it was recorded with a dozen players or so. The bluesy character of the piece has made it Ann Carr-Boyd's most popular piece. Fandango was chosen to be included in the ABC Classic FM Classic 100 Chamber Music Countdown at No. 55. The ABC Classic FM Classic 100 Chamber Music Countdown contains 9 hours of music on 8 compact discs. Track 8 ROBERT ALLWORTH (b. 1943) REMINISCENCES OF PEOPLE I HAVE KNOWN (1992) Edgars Kariks Flute and Ann Carr-Boyd Harpsichord. Reminiscences of People I Have Known, written for Flute and Harpsichord is a short but effective atmospheric piece showing memories of people once known to the composer but are now no longer seen by him. Ann Carr-Boyd - Harpsichord and Edgars Kariks - Flute are ideal interpreters of this piece of music. Sound Engineer Charles Barton 2MBS-FM recording 15/03/92 made at the Summer Home of Rosemary Parle, Greenwich, NSW. TRACK 9 ERIC GROSS (b. 1926) SALLYMEDE OP.262 (2002) Composed as a tribute and gesture of thanks to the Australian pianist Sally Mays for her unstinting support of Australian composers. Sallymede commences with an endeavour to invoke an "English Countryside" atmosphere - in reference to the fact that Sally Mays now resides in England.
