The practice and composition of music require patronage and
institutional support, and they require it in a different fashion
from that found in other forms of art. This collection of essays
brings together the most recent and important contributions by
leading scholars in the field to this crucial aspect of Renaissance
musical culture. The articles approach the topic from a number of
perspectives and consider the institutions and individuals engaged
in supporting music; the systems of employment, benefices and
sponsorship put in place to facilitate the support; and where, how
and why music was sung and played. Taken together, these articles
enable conclusions to be drawn about the interests of patrons and
about the social and artistic status of musicians and composers
within the courtly and urban context.
In this volume, T.C. Schmidt offers a new perspective on the
formation of the New Testament by examining it simply as a
Greco-Roman 'testament', a legal document of great authority in the
ancient world. His work considers previously unexamined parallels
between Greco-Roman juristic standards and the authorization of
Christianity's holy texts. Recapitulating how Greco-Roman
testaments were created and certified, he argues that the book of
Revelation possessed many testamentary characteristics that were
crucial for lending validity to the New Testament. Even so, Schmidt
shows how Revelation fell out of favor amongst most Eastern
Christian communities for over a thousand years until commentators
rehabilitated its status and reintegrated it into the New
Testament. Schmidt uncovers why so many Eastern churches neglected
Revelation during this period, and then draws from Greco-Roman
legal practice to describe how Eastern commentators successfully
argued for Revelation's inclusion in the New Testaments of their
Churches.
What is a sonata? Literally translated, it simply means
'instrumental piece'. It is the epitome of instrumental music, and
is certainly the oldest and most enduring form of 'pure' and
independent instrumental composition, beginning around 1600 and
lasting to the present day. Schmidt-Beste analyses key aspects of
the genre including form, scoring and its social context - who
composed, played and listened to sonatas? In giving a comprehensive
overview of all forms of music which were called 'sonatas' at some
point in musical history, this book is more about change than about
consistency - an ensemble sonata by Gabrieli appears to share
little with a Beethoven sonata, or a trio sonata by Corelli with
one of Boulez's piano sonatas, apart from the generic designation.
However, common features do emerge, and the look across the
centuries - never before addressed in a single-volume survey -
opens up new and significant perspectives.

Zwar ist erst zum Ende des 19. Jahrhunderts explizit von Fans die
Rede. Doch schon lange davor lassen sich Beispiele finden, die aus
heutiger Sicht ebenfalls als Fantum bezeichnet werden können.
Thomas Schmidt-Lux beschreibt diese Entwicklung von Fans und
Fanobjekten seit der Antike. Abschließend fragt er danach, ob sich
im Laufe dieser Geschichte – etwa durch den Medienwandel –
systematische Veränderungen von Fans und Fantum feststellen
lassen.
Structure and power are two defining and interrelated aspects of
the German theater business. It is based on the strictly
hierarchical organization of 1900 and has undergone hardly any
structural changes since then. This not only impairs the innovative
capacity of this important institution, but also leads to
inappropriately strong power positions of the directors, to
conflicts with the ensembles and employees, and hinders the
development and renewal of the artistic potentials of this cultural
technique. The publication is based on the results of the study
'Art and Power in the Theater' - with 1966 participants the largest
study of its kind. The content Power as a decision-making
and management tool in the theater The connection between power and
organization Power and abuse in the theater Structural power and
forms of power containment Results of the study  The target
groups Students, teachers and researchers in the fields of cultural
management, cultural and theater studies, dramaturgy, psychology,
sociology and anthropology, employees of management at the theater
and other cultural organization The author Thomas Schmidt has been
professor and director of the Theater and Orchestra Management
program in Frankfurt since 2010. He was managing director of the
National Theater Weimar from 2003 to 2013 and visiting professor at
Harvard University in 2014.

Margarethe Billerbeck hat sich uber Jahrzehnte hinweg unermudlich
fur die Klassische Philologie eingesetzt. Generationen von
Studenten der Facher Latein und Griechisch hat sie als Ordinaria an
der Universitat Freiburg (Schweiz) nicht nur durch ihre
wissenschaftliche Kompetenz und philologische Genauigkeit
gefoerdert, sondern auch durch ihre grosse Menschlichkeit gepragt.
Durch ihre zahlreichen wissenschaftlichen Publikationen sowie ihre
Tatigkeit als Herausgeberin wissenschaftlicher Reihen und ihren
selbstlosen Einsatz fur Institutionen und Projekte im Bereich der
Altertumswissenschaften hat sie zugleich weltweit grosse
Anerkennung erlangt. So verstehen sich diese Munera Friburgensia,
von Kollegen am Institut fur Antike und Byzanz, ihren Mitarbeitern
und ihren Doktoranden zum Anlass ihres 70. Geburtstages verfasst,
als ein Tribut der Freiburger Altertumswissenschaften an eine
herausragende Wissenschaftlerin und Dozentin.
Tra le 6 coppie tematiche di inni in cui puo essere suddiviso il
Cathemerinon di Prudenzio, quella formata dagli inni 9 (Hymnus
omnis horae) e 10 (Hymnus circa exequias defuncti) e stata spesso
considerata la piu debole, alla quale si arrivava quasi "per
esclusione" dopo aver definito le altre cinque. Questo studio, che
affianca ad una introduzione generale sulla vita e le opere di
Prudenzio un ampio e dettagliato commento ai due singoli inni
corredato di una nuova traduzione, cerca di scandagliare le fonti
sia letterarie che teologiche che costituiscono la base su cui il
poeta costruisce la propria opera. Cosi facendo, ci si propone di
fornire una nuova chiave d'interpretazione che permetta una piu
profonda comprensione dei due testi, mettendone in luce l'unita di
fondo e chiarendone il ruolo di inni pasquali all'interno del
Cathemerinon.
Dieses Buch fokussiert auf die Liquiditätsplanung, die die
zukunftssichere und wirtschaftliche Fortführung eines Unternehmens
und seine Zahlungsfähigkeit an erste Stelle stellt.
Es widmet sich einer möglichst prognosegenauen Abbildung der
zukünftigen Zahlungsströme des laufenden operativen
Geschäftsmodells. Aufgrund der Zusammenführung von
Planungsrechnungen, rechtlichen Vereinbarungen des Debitoren- und
Kreditorenmanagements und Prognoseverfahren ist der
Liquiditätsplan im Planungsuniversum einzigartig und sichert bei
konsequenter und richtiger Anwendung die
Unternehmensexistenz. Ziel dieses Praxisleitfadens ist ein
konzeptionell stringentes und gleichzeitig praktisch orientiertes
Planungsmodell, das mit einer beherrschbaren Toleranz Aufschluss
über die Entwicklung der Liquidität des Unternehmens gibt –
sowohl dem Management als auch den Finanzverantwortlichen –, um
es erfolgreich in die Zukunft zu führen.

the outcome of contributions by alumni and alumnae of the ESB
Business School at Reutlingen University. This second volume
provides an overview of key modern leadership and coaching themes,
as well as on organisational interventions.
