CAMPS Research Lab: 'The terminology of woodwind instruments in Old and Middle Irish' by Jacopo Bisagni
2012-11-30 12:00

Public Concert - Guth Binn 7 T̩ada ÌÒir ̢åÛå¢ Bardic Voices, Horns And Medieval Harps - with Ann & Charlie Heymann, Lillis ÌÒ Laoire and Simon Dwyer
2012-11-30 19:00
Guth Binn 7 T̩ada ÌÒir ‰ۢ Bardic Voices, Horns and medieval harps
On Friday, November 30th at 7 pm, NUI Galway’s Aula Maxima will resound with the ancient sounds of early Irish harp, voice and horn. Gold-strung clÌÁirseachs played by Ann Heymann will accompany 7th-18th century Gaelic poems (including genres of laoi, rosc and amhrÌÁn) sung by Charlie Heymann and Lillis ÌÒ Laoire. For contrast, early Welsh poetry by the famous poets Aneirin and Taliesin, will be performed, accompanied by horsehair harp, crwth and various lyres. Adding to the musical soundscape are Simon O’Dwyer’s pre-historic and medieval horns, bells and pipes. A wine reception follows the concert, allowing for an opportunity to meet the performers and get a closer look at the instruments.
Ann Heymann is renowned for having recreated specialized techniques that articulate the voice of the clÌÁirseach. Her visionary use of gold wire, which is based both on evidence in the literature and in the physical construction of the clÌÁirseach, has restored to the instrument a brilliant rich voice. Husband Charlie, a graduate of Northwestern University’s inaugural ethnomusicology programme, is both a vocalist and instrumentalist, and for over thirty-five years the couple have performed and taught across four continents. The couple is currently at NUI Galway, Ann having been awarded a Moore Institute Fellowship to study the use of the harp in the performance of early Irish poetry. Lillis ÌÒ Laoire, lecturer in Irish and Head of School, Languages, Literatures and Cultures at NUI, Galway, is an award winning Gaelic singer, scholar, and writer from the Gaelic speaking region of Donegal. He teaches courses in Gaelic language, culture and folklore at NUI, Galway, and his publications include ‘On a Rock in the Middle of the Ocean: Songs and Singers in Tory Island, Ireland’ (2005). Simon O’Dwyer has brought the sound of ancient Irish horns, bells and pipes to audiences around the globe. Author of “Prehistoric Music of Ireland”, O’Dwyer documents both his research and his making of these reproduction instruments. This event is free and open to the public and takes place in the Aula Maxima, NUI, Galway, on Friday, the 30 November at 7:00 pm.

Beckett Reading Group

Beckett Reading Group
All readings will be kept short, as this reading group is meant to inspire not increase the work that everyone is doing. We will be concentrating on his radio and television plays for our first meetings. We hope that considering the implications of these works as texts will lead to stimulating discussion. We hope to foster a dialogue about how these texts are studied as ‰Û÷texts‰۪, rather than or alongside the medium in which they were incepted. Group members are welcome to bring critical pieces into discussion, but there is no pressure to do so. In fact, coming with visceral reactions that form critical inquiry as discussions progress is encouraged. Email Kristin Jones at k.jones1@nuigalway.ie and David Delaney d.delaney2@nuigalway.ie with any questions.
Week Four: 4 Dec. Nacht und TrÌ_ume
We will reconvene in Semester 2.

School of Physics Seminar Programme 2012-2013 - Massive Star Formation in the Milky Way
2012-12-10 15:00
Massive Star Formation in the Milky Way
New surveys at infrared and radio wavelengths are providing the means
to systematically search our Galaxy for new massive stars in the process
of forming. Although rare, massive stars have a profound affect on their
environment and the evolution of galaxies. The methodologies and
outstanding questions concerning the physical processes in massive star
birth will be discussed.
The speaker is Prof. Melvin Hoare. He obtained his PhD in 1988
at UCL and after periods at Oxford and Heidelberg, joined the star
formation group at Leeds. He performs multi-wavelength
observations of massive star formation, has led various radio
surveys of the galactic plane and is on the science
working group for the next generation Square
Kilometre Array project.
