This book was published in 2003. One of the most important but
least studied of medieval chant repertories is that of the Kyrie.
With their Latin texts, Kyrie melodies represented musical
ambitions manifested alongside of and subsequent to Gregorian chant
- ambitions which achieved stylistic and formal distinction. This
study illuminates those features of the early Kyrie that give it
its distinctive character and set it apart not only from Gregorian
chant but also from other types of medieval chant. The repertory
focused on in this book is a group of 22 West Frankish sources
which are believed to have originated in several Aquitanian
locations. The tradition represented by these manuscripts and their
repertory of Kyrie melodies can be followed across a century and a
half, from 950 to 1100. The Aquitanian manuscript tradition is
significant because these sources represent by far the largest
group of closely inter-related musical sources from the period, and
the musical notation gives reliable indication of pitch up to a
century earlier than other manuscripts of the time.
Executive compensation generates far more controversy than it
should. This new book, written by a healthcare executive
compensation expert, helps CEOs and board compensation committees
manage issues such as compensation philosophy, the structure of the
executive compensation program, the balance among its components,
the emphasis on pay-for-performance, the challenges of governing
executive compensation, and the challenges of being transparent to
the general public.
This book is for Roman Catholic and Evangelical Protestant lay
people who wonder what relationship, if any, they might have with
their friends who come from a different Christian faith tradition
than their own. The authors aim to address that question in a
practical way. They believe that while disagreements remain, it is
possible to preserve the integrity of the faith while relating
positively to Christians who cherish other beliefs. The opinions
expressed in this book grew out of nearly thirty years of
experience as evangelical protestant missionaries ministering in
catholic parish communities in France. The goal of the book is to
move the readers beyond simply understanding each other, to a place
where they might begin using their diversity to stimulate and
encourage each other in our common pursuit of obedient
discipleship. We know of no other book which targets ecumenical lay
relations in this way.
This book seeks to help Christians from different traditions
understand the mechanisms that have given rise to their diversity,
to help them learn how to understand and appreciate each other in
their difference and, also offer practical guidelines which will
enable disparate Christians to work and worship together in a
common mission; to worship God and to make Him known.
