Purpose: Inspired by Kuan-Hsing Chen's "Asia as method," this study investigates a multicultural approach to education. Using East Asia as the frame of reference, this study explores multiculturalism in middle school classrooms in Chinese Taiwan. Design/Approach/Methods: Semistructured interviews were conducted with principals, administrators, and teachers at a middle school known for its diversity work. Data were coded based on the conceptual framework and emergent themes analyzed using NVivo. Findings: Findings elucidate the harmony-oriented multicultural approach adopted by administrators and teachers to empower the youth to embrace their ethnic heritage. This approach was characterized by three Confucian-influenced features: whole-person development, strengthening of the collective school unit, and a school decision-making approach prioritizing "fairness." Originality/Value: This study investigates the multicultural responses of teachers and schools to student diversity through a nondeficit lens in East Asia, revealing the harmony-oriented practices adopted in this respect. In addition to establishing a foundation for East Asian scholars to explore how teachers respond to student diversity in their respective contexts through an asset lens, the findings of this study advance our understanding of how to recognize differences and maintain social cohesion.

- Abstract
The article presents the results of a theoretical and empirical study of the phenomenon of "first love" of youth. The relevance of the research topic is dictated by the social and practical significance of the influence of the first love of youth on the regulation of the legal behavior of an individual. The work highlights the approbation and results of the developed author's questionnaire "Outlook features of behavior and feelings of first love in the period of youth". According to the author's developed questionnaire, the results of the analysis of respondents from Kyiv, Zhytomyr, and Dnipropetrovsk regions of Ukraine are presented. The connection of the imprinted model of behavior in first love with the subsequent style of family and marital relations is asserted. It is emphasized that the mental reality of the first love in youth is settled by a deep experience between sexual relations, ethical and aesthetic criteria, which significantly affects the choice of a marriage partner, and therefore the formation of legal (legally significant) behavior in the family, family, everyday life. Mechanisms of psychological protection that pose a risk to the physical, mental, and psychological well-being of an individual are identified. Pay attention to the peculiarities of the victim behavior of youth. It was concluded that the experience of an unrequited, treacherous, abandoned first love leaves wounds in the depths of the psyche and provokes the development of low self-esteem, feelings of inferiority, which are reflected in unbearable suffering and pain in subsequent romantic relationships between the sexes. In connection with this, the role of ethical, moral, and legal education of youth, aimed at analyzing the holistic perception of the reality of first love and preventing possible deformations and crises, increases. The obtained results of the research can be used in: - scientific research field - for further scientific research of legal behavior; - educational activities - for the preparation and conducting of lectures, seminars and practical classes and during the writing of textbooks, training manuals on the educational disciplines "Legal Psychology"; "Personality psychology", "Preventive psychology", "Family law", "Prevention and countermeasures against domestic violence". The provisions of this study can also be used during the development of targeted legal education programs and trainings. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

muhammad abduh ,tolerance ,harmony ,Philosophy. Psychology. Religion - Abstract
Indonesia, characterized by its rich religious diversity, inevitably experiences variations in religious principles. Engaging in religious practices can sometimes lead to excessive fanaticism, resulting in conflicts and divisions within religious communities. To mitigate such challenges, fostering religious tolerance becomes crucial for promoting harmony. This qualitative research employs a library research method, analyzing secondary data sources to explore the concept of tolerance as interpreted by Muhammad Abduh, an Islamic theologian and reformist, in his work “Tafsir al-Manar.” Abduh’s interpretation aligns with Surah Al-Baqarah verse 256 from the Qur’an, emphasizing the importance of mutual respect and the freedom of belief without coercion. Given Indonesia’s context, where Islam is known for its openness, inclusivity, and problem-solving capabilities, studying and embracing the concept of tolerance from “Tafsir al-Manar” is highly relevant. The study concludes that Abduh’s perspectives on religious tolerance can significantly contribute to national harmony and the advancement of humanitarian values in Indonesia.

Man is a social being whose inter and intra-personal existence cannot be extricated from cohabiting with others within the society in which he finds himself. Man’s existence starts from fostering mutual relations with members of his immediate family and groups outside his family to members of the larger society/nation he identifies with as a citizen. Therefore, his belief in any creed or faith (religion) is a sign that man’s social contact within society reflects his exemplification of God, who is a just being. This paper adopted two methodological approaches- The functionalist approach emphasizes the contributions made by each component to the total and the interdependence between society’s constituent parts. The research attested that religion is often, and rightly, seen as a semi-autonomous social space that resembles others; it is also closely related to the economic structure of society. The second approach is a sociology of religion approach, which discusses religion within the framework of a particular people group as a human and cultural phenomenon. This article mainly focused on promoting peace in Nigeria, even during the building or consolidating of democratic institutions. In theoretical explanation, therefore, this paper expounds on how it makes a big difference in a society of peace and tranquillity and the workings of the democratic institutional framework. It is hoped that the leadership of our dear nation will be directed towards attaining peace and security across diverse Nigerian ethnic races or groups in such a way that religious tolerance will not breed hatred and enmity whatsoever to all citizens. Thus, development in whatever ramification is yearned for in this democratic dispensation would not be an illusion or wishful expectation but requires acceptance of everyone from all climes of life, race, creed, or ethnicity.

9. Disruptive Emotions and Affective Injustice Within an African-Inspired Relational Ethics: What Has to Give?

Forms of African relational ethics that prioritise the value of harmony struggle to accommodate arguably valuable disharmony, such as disruptive emotions like anger. A wider literature on political emotions has defended the value of such emotions and even proposed that a particular form of injustice, affective injustice, can arise if we fail to create space for them. While it has recently been proposed that Thaddeus Metz's African-inspired relational moral theory can accommodate disruptive emotions and address affective injustice, in this philosophical article I argue that any success that Metz's account has in this regard is superficial. This critique has important implications: either we need to engage further with disruptive emotions and affective injustice within an African relational ethics, or it may be the case that we instead need to return to how we conceptualise affective injustice to ensure that it does the justice-promoting work that we want it to do.

Frédéric Chopin (1810-1849), one of the composers who reflected and created the spirit of the 'Romantic Period,' characterized by increased diversity in style, form, and expression, and the expansion of piano literature, crafted the musical texture in his pieces with a highly personal style, incorporating his unique harmony, flexible formal design, original use of expressive tools, and a free performance technique that didn't adhere to rigid patterns in rhythm and tempo. Chopin's distinctive style is particularly visible in the forms he chose for piano music. The flexible forms of his time allowed the composer to create a characteristic style by freely utilizing musical materials. Especially, forms like nocturnes, fantaisies-impromptus, and waltzes, which leave an impression of improvisation, small-scale, and rule-free structures, provided a clear space for the composer's expressive tools. Indeed, it is possible to identify Chopin's musical language, especially through his small-scale pieces. The purpose of this research is to analyze the melody construction, harmony, and rhythms of Frédéric Chopin (1810-1849), focusing on selected pieces to provide an interpretation of his musical language based on similarities found in these pieces. Samples from Chopin's literature, including Op. 27 No. 1, Op. 9 No. 2 and No. 20 Nocturnes, Op. 64 No. 2 Waltz, and Op. 66 Fantaisie-Impromptu, were taken for the study. The research employed a case study design within qualitative research methods, and the obtained data was described descriptively. In conclusion, it was found that Chopin's harmony encompasses a wide range from simple chord progressions to complex chords. He created simple yet bel canto melodies inspired by the 'Italian Opera' embellishments and used rhythms that prioritize the clarity of melody rather than a polyrhythmic approach. This study is believed to contribute to listening and playing practices due to its exploration of the musical materials in the Turkish literature related to Chopin. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper delves into the convergence of Laozi's Daoist mysticism with the principles of ecofeminism, highlighting the potential for ancient wisdom to inform contemporary issues of gender and environmental justice. Through an examination of the Dao De Jing, we uncover insights into a holistic approach to social justice that integrates ecological sustainability and gender equality. Laozi's teachings, characterized by the principles of Dao, Wu-wei, and Ziran, offer a foundational framework for understanding the interconnectedness of all beings and the importance of living in harmony with the natural world. By analyzing relevant passages and concepts from the Dao De Jing, this paper demonstrates how Daoist philosophy aligns with and enriches ecofeminist values, advocating for a society that honors the balance between humanity and nature and recognizes the integral role of women in achieving environmental and social harmony. This paper presents case studies that illustrate the practical application of Daoist principles in ecological feminist practices, shedding light on the successes and challenges of integrating ancient philosophical insights into modern activism. The fusion of Daoist mysticism and ecofeminism provides a compelling vision for addressing the intertwined challenges of gender inequality and environmental degradation, suggesting pathways toward a more just, sustainable, and harmonious world. In doing so, it calls for a reimagined approach to social justice that is deeply informed by an understanding of ecological sustainability and gender equality as mutually reinforcing goals.

The concept of living in harmony with the cosmos is difficult to grasp and has become misunderstood and misinterpreted in the Western tradition. However, it offers fruitful contributions to contemporary discourse by establishing a dialogue with Dewey's notion of aesthetic experience. For Dewey, as for Confucius, the world does not have an established order but must be achieved through the creation of new patterns or modes of interaction. Using a comparative methodology, this article analyzes the Deweyan and Confucian conceptions of nature and the relationship between human beings and the environment defended by both authors. This approach, which combines Dewey's philosophy and Confucius' thought, can contribute to our current world, a time of spiritual and natural crisis. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Born and bred in the Western lands in the context of ecological crisis and feminist movement in the 1970s, ecofeminism views men's rule over women and human's rule over nature as two aspects of the same issue, and believes that there is an inherent connection between them. By criticizing the oppressive status of women and nature, and eliminating the dualism rooted in western patriarchy, ecofeminism aims to promote equality and harmony among all things. Taoism, an ancient Eastern philosophy with a history of thousands of years, also places great emphasis on harmony among individuals, nature, society, and the universe. Its principles of "the unity of man and nature", and balance between "Yin" and "Yang" provide philosophical support for ecofeminism which rejects dualisms and encourages wholeness and harmony. As society and economy develop rapidly, humanity faces a series of crisis, and this paper just intends to combine ecofeminism with Taoism to make an analysis on Louise Glück's poem collection of A Village Life to explore her ecofeminist consciousness and how she advocates the establishment of a diverse but harmonious world without hierarchical differences in her poems.

CULTURAL codes ,SPIRITUALITY ,NARRATIVES - Abstract
The article delves into the exploration of the symbolic world of harmony in Hermann Hesse's novel "Siddhartha" through the lens of semiotic analysis. It highlights the novel's unique approach to addressing the themes of harmony, spirituality, and cultural synthesis, which are central to both the author's aesthetic-philosophical position and the artistic universe of the work. Drawing from the works of renowned semiotician Roland Barthes, the analysis presents a novel interpretation of "Siddhartha", shedding light on its intricate layers of cultural and philosophical symbolism. The article argues that Hesse's creative legacy, with its complex intertwining of Western and Eastern cultural and philosophical paradigms, provides fertile ground for semiotic exploration. The semiotic framework employed in the analysis offers a comprehensive understanding of the semiosphere of harmony depicted in the novel. It elucidates the interplay of diverse cultural codes, signs, and actors within the narrative, revealing the novel's rich tapestry of meaning. Furthermore, the article explores the evolution of Siddhartha's spiritual journey, from his immersion in Brahmanic rituals to his encounters with Buddhist and Daoist philosophies. It highlights how these diverse influences converge to shape Siddhartha's evolving understanding of harmony and enlightenment. Ultimately, the article underscores the enduring relevance of "Siddhartha" in today's world, emphasizing its profound message of unity and interconnectedness. It invites readers to reflect on the novel's timeless wisdom and to embark on their own quest for inner peace and spiritual fulfillment. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Using a 21st-century analytical toolkit, this thesis presents a reimagining of the Western Classical multi-movement design from the perspective of Beethoven's Piano Sonatas. By building upon contemporary Formenlehre and neo-Schenkerian theory, it will illuminate and expand upon the concept of large-scale tonal and structural relationships within a deep-background hierarchical level of Beethoven's 32 adult piano sonatas. It is hypothesised that this deep-background level - one that transcends the structures of individual movements - provides tonal and structural cohesion to the sonata-cycle as a whole via large-scale (inter-movement) voice-leading techniques. The methodology employed involves the presentation of thorough, complete analyses of Beethoven's 32 piano sonatas (the significance of which should not be understated, including over three thousand individual musical examples), and an accompanying 'chorale-style' recomposition of the same material, thus fulfilling a second goal: the creation of a modernised analytical portfolio on the 32. These analyses will then be used to inspect the relationships between tonal and structural aspects of a cycle's internal movements, and those same features of the complete multi-movement sonata-cycle. Following this, features of a normative Beethovenian 'sonata-cycle form' can be modelled. It is to be argued (and demonstrated) that concepts of deep-background tonal prolongation, symmetry, balance and resolution fundamentally underpin each multi-movement sonata-cycle as a single work. These concepts can be successfully applied to the data that results from the aforementioned analyses, and the ways they manifest within deep-background structural designs are laid bare.

This thesis investigates one of Iran's grand narratives, the myth of victimisation, as a tool of the Iranian political elite to achieve foreign policy goals. It studies the leadership of Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi (1941-1979), Prime Minister Mohammad Mosaddeq (1951-1953), Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini (1979-1989), and President Mahmood Ahmadinejad (2005-2013) to argue that the sense of grievance of justice denied has had a cultural provenance, rooted in historical, literary and religious references spanning centuries. Accordingly Iranian leaders have been able to pursue and perpetuate narratives that have served to cast Iranians as victims of foreign intrigue, thus relieving themselves from accountability and inaction. The narrative of grievance has had a resurgence with the rise of populism around the world, but as an ideational catalyst in Iranian politics, where it has been at play for decades, it has received scant attention. The leaders studied in this thesis have each employed this narrative to varying degrees and effects, to cast the world as a battleground between victim and victimizer. This process was most evident in the lead up to and in the aftermath of the Islamic Revolution, when Ayatollah Khomeini and President Ahmadinejad repurposed the myth of victimisation to launch and export the revolution. While the Shah and Prime Minister Mosaddeq disseminated such myths to extract favourable concessions from foreign powers, mainly the United States and Great Britain. As a result, the grounding of Iran's most exigent foreign policy issues in myths and populist narratives has led to an incongruity between its potential and its current standing in the community of nations.

The present study is an enquiry into the metaphysics of tonal harmony. Specifically, it is aimed at accounting for the ontology and the aesthetics of chords. Part I concerns the ontology of chords. Since chords are sounds, I begin by considering the nature of sound. In Chapter One, I characterise the problem of sound in terms of the current philosophical debate, which is marked by two main dichotomies: on the one hand, the Wave and the Event View are taken to be irreconcilable; on the other hand, the Event and the Object View are also seen as incompatible. Conversely, in Chapter Two I propose a thesis of sonic reconciliation, which is aimed at integrating the fundamentals of those views. In light of my conciliatory approach, I proceed to examine the nature of chords qua sound events in Chapter Three, where I establish the necessary conditions for chord events to exist. This is followed by an analysis of the psychoacoustics and phenomenology of chord perception in Chapter Four, under which I give an account of the nature of chords qua Gestalt-based auditory objects. Yet, given that chords are distinctive musical entities within the domain of tonal harmony, in Chapter Five I provide an account of their nature qua musical individuals, which further substantiates my treatment of the ontology of chords. In turn, Part II is focused on the aesthetics of chords. In Chapter Six, I introduce the problem of consonance as concerning what kind of property consonance is: on the one hand, consonance is treated primarily as a psychoacoustic property; on the other hand, it is taken to be a musical property. The problem thus consists in the conflict between psychoacoustic and musical views on consonance and dissonance. In response, I propose the thesis of the dual phenomenology of consonance/dissonance as pertaining to two different components of musical consonance: the sensory component and harmony (i.e. the distinctively musical experience of chords). After examining the psychoacoustic basis of consonance/dissonance perception in Chapter Seven, in Chapter Eight I account for the aesthetics of chords qua isolated auditory objects and qua musical individuals within a distinctively musical context, whilst also indicating how the psychoacoustics of harmony and the musical experience of it may be reconciled. In Chapter Nine, I substantiate the thesis of the dual phenomenology of consonance/dissonance further by arguing that the sensory component is best accounted for under the notion of response-dependence, whereas harmony is best understood under aesthetic supervenience. In Chapter Ten, I examine the instability of chord tokens vis-a-vis tuning and temperament differences, which have historically proven to be more intractable than the problem of consonance itself.

Hrotsvit of Gandersheim sees music and arithmetic as parts of philosophy. Presenting the motives for engaging in literary creativity and describing her writing process, she says that by glorifying God with her work, she incorporated threads and pieces of the ancient mantle of philosophy into it. The paper aims to provide insight into Hrotsvit’s knowledge of philosophy and the specificities and significance of her approach to the contents of the disciplines of arithmetic and music (in particular to musica humana and the harmony of a world) in her plays Paphnutius and Sapientia, to analyze different elements of her authorial self-perception and to emphasize the similarities between her and Augustine’s understanding of music, and the role of certain types of writing. The paper concludes that Hrotsvit incorporated her knowledge and understanding of ancient and medieval theories of music and numbers into her plays uniquely, showing originality in their interpretation and merging them with everyday moral life and education. In this way, the rarely treated philosophical elements of her oeuvre are presented and evaluated.

We present a dataset of 264 annotated piano pieces of nine composers, composed in the long 19th century (https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.7483349). Annotations adhere to the DCML harmony annotation standard and include Roman numerals, phrase boundaries, and cadence types. The scores are encoded in the XML-based MuseScore 3 format. Annotations are embedded within the MuseScore files. In addition, all harmony information, alongside key features of the encoded measure and note objects, is provided in the form of plaintext TSV-formatted tables for increased interoperability with other datasets and analysis tools. Annotations were collaboratively created and reviewed by a pool of trained music theorists. Collaboration took place asynchronously online via a semi-automated GitHub-based workflow designed for quality assurance, allowing cycles of revisions and reviews until consensus is reached. The full revision history is retained, providing data for further empirical research on inter-annotator agreement and related topics. We also present descriptive statistics about the nine corpora and the dataset as a whole, including comparisons of pitch-class contents, phrase lengths, modulations, and cadence types. We conclude with a discussion of our musicological principles for corpus building and considerations of representability.

This study aims to explore the elements of consistency and harmony in the poem The Land by Mahmoud Darwish. The major components of textual grammar are examined, highlighting the creativity of language in producing endless sentences. It essentially deals with the compositional structures and the elements of their formation at both the surface and deep structures. The descriptive and analytical approach is adopted to achieve the purposes of the study. The results show that the factors of dispersion, discontinuity, and anxiety help to achieve the elements of consistency and harmony. Such factors are shown to generate poetic connotations as well as the textual balance between motives and goals on the one hand and aesthetic meanings on the other. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The liturgical singing of the Romanian Orthodox Church is monodic, of the Byzantine tradition. From the 19th century, under the influence of the Russian Orthodox Church, multiple voices choral singing penetrates the Romanian worship establishments. The beginnings were timid, isolated, from private initiatives and sometimes encountering the hostility of conservative ecclesiastical traditionalism. After 1959, the introduction of choral singing in the United Romanian Principalities was to be facilitated by state legislation. Choral singing would be used predominantly for the office of the Holy Liturgy. In finding a choral style suitable for the orthodox liturgical ceremonial, three main stylistic directions were outlined, among which the classicalromantic influence created a generous and varied repertoire.

Balthasar is, first and foremost, a Germanist. His theology is internally related to literature. This article shows how deep this link is, starting from three aspects: the literary coordinates that appear to be integrated in the theological structure of his thought, the theological language that Balthasar discovers in the literature, and the use of some literary instruments to engage with theology. Overall, Balthasar bases this profound and internal use of literature on the harmony/harmonization (Zum-stimmen-bringen/justesse/analogia linguae) he discovers between literary form or style and theological content. This harmony, justesse, or analogia is mediated by the free creativity of the author of the literary text under the power of the Spirit and sustained by the analogia entis and Christological analogia entis.

F. Chopin ,melody ,rhythm ,harmony ,music language ,Music ,M1-5000 - Abstract
Frédéric Chopin (1810-1849), one of the composers who reflected and created the spirit of the ‘Romantic Period,’ characterized by increased diversity in style, form, and expression, and the expansion of piano literature, crafted the musical texture in his pieces with a highly personal style, incorporating his unique harmony, flexible formal design, original use of expressive tools, and a free performance technique that didn’t adhere to rigid patterns in rhythm and tempo. Chopin’s distinctive style is particularly visible in the forms he chose for piano music. The flexible forms of his time allowed the composer to create a characteristic style by freely utilizing musical materials. Especially, forms like nocturnes, fantaisies-impromptus, and waltzes, which leave an impression of improvisation, small-scale, and rule-free structures, provided a clear space for the composer’s expressive tools. Indeed, it is possible to identify Chopin’s musical language, especially through his small-scale pieces. The purpose of this research is to analyze the melody construction, harmony, and rhythms of Frédéric Chopin (1810-1849), focusing on selected pieces to provide an interpretation of his musical language based on similarities found in these pieces. Samples from Chopin’s literature, including Op. 27 No. 1, Op. 9 No. 2 and No. 20 Nocturnes, Op. 64 No. 2 Waltz, and Op. 66 Fantaisie-Impromptu, were taken for the study. The research employed a case study design within qualitative research methods, and the obtained data was described descriptively. In conclusion, it was found that Chopin’s harmony encompasses a wide range from simple chord progressions to complex chords. He created simple yet bel canto melodies inspired by the ‘Italian Opera’ embellishments and used rhythms that prioritize the clarity of melody rather than a polyrhythmic approach. This study is believed to contribute to listening and playing practices due to its exploration of the musical materials in the Turkish literature related to Chopin.

The concept of living in harmony with the cosmos is difficult to grasp and has become misunderstood and misinterpreted in the Western tradition. However, it offers fruitful contributions to contemporary discourse by establishing a dialogue with Dewey’s notion of aesthetic experience. For Dewey, as for Confucius, the world does not have an established order but must be achieved through the creation of new patterns or modes of interaction. Using a comparative methodology, this article analyzes the Deweyan and Confucian conceptions of nature and the relationship between human beings and the environment defended by both authors. This approach, which combines Dewey’s philosophy and Confucius’ thought, can contribute to our current world, a time of spiritual and natural crisis.

This paper is a qualitative study that describes the phenomenon of religious moderation in the Getasan District, Semarang Regency, Central Java Province. Many mass media highlight the high tolerance in the Getasan area, which makes it interesting to investigate it deeper related to religious management in the community. By using the analysis of Miles and Huberman and mixing it with the perspective of Citizenship Pluralism, the results showed that Christian religious leaders taught church members about three things, including doctrinal teaching that educated the law of love as their foundation, contextualization by mixing and matching culture in the development of faith and social devotion in terms of religiosity in society. From the perspective of civic pluralism, Christian religious leaders carried out recognition, representation, and redistribution as a way of teaching religious moderation in society, which aims to create social harmony in society. A good understanding of religious moderation, by linking religious texts and religious contexts, then internalizing it into their daily lives, makes church members have an important role in creating harmony in the community in Getasan District, Semarang Regency.

Kupang City, located in East Nusa Tenggara (NTT) province, stands out for its notable success in fostering tolerance among religious communities. Its significance lies in (a) being the largest city in NTT, (b) having a longstanding history of Islamic development, and (c) the proclamation of local leaders demonstrating a firm commitment to preserving Kupang as an exemplar of religious harmony. In light of these aspects, the authors conducted qualitative field research on Muslim village communities in Kupang to explore how harmony is maintained among religious groups. This research is based on the theoretical assumption that understanding the world requires a native point of approach, relying on the researcher's perspective. The findings reveal that a crucial foundation for harmony among religious communities is the residents' highly tolerant attitude, reflecting the active tolerance embedded in local wisdom. This local wisdom is further reinforced by the recognition of diversity as a defining feature of Kupang City's identity. The actualization of this value is evident in religious and cultural traditions, exemplified by the Siripuan tradition in Airmata Village. The dynamic nature of harmony among religious communities is underscored, with one contributing factor being the lower positive feelings experienced by minorities compared to the majority. Addressing this discrepancy is crucial for anticipating and mitigating potential challenges among Muslim minorities.

When religious diversity in society is not addressed wisely, it becomes a source of inter-religious conflict. The misalignment between the hope to live in harmony with the reality that occurs in society encourages an urgency to internalize values and activities to create harmony in society. So this research aims to further analyze the inter-religious interaction in the Kampung Toleransi community as a form of internalization of harmony. This research uses a qualitative approach with phenomenological methods. This research reveals that the inter-religious interaction built by Kampung Toleransi continues to be carried out and delivered culturally by various parties. So that interaction is rooted in everyday life and can realize harmony in society. The development of interfaith interaction models and strategies that apply in general can be studied in further research. Internalisasi Kerukunan Melalui Interaksi Antar Umat Beragama Pada Masyarakat Kampung Toleransi Ketika keberagaman dalam beragama di masyarakat tidak disikapi dengan bijak menjadi sebuah sumber konflik antar umat beragama. Adanya ketidakselarasan antara harapan untuk hidup rukun dengan kenyataan yang terjadi di masyarakat mendorong sebuah urgensi terhadap internalisasi nilai dan aktivitas untuk menciptakan kerukunan di masyarakat. Maka penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis lebih lanjut mengenai interaksi antar umat beragama pada masyarakat Kampung Toleransi sebagai wujud internalisasi kerukunan. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dengan metode fenomenologi. Penelitian ini mengungkapkan bahwa interaksi antar umat beragama yang dibangun oleh Kampung Toleransi terus dilakukan dan disampaikan secara kultural oleh berbagai pihak. Sehingga interaksi mengakar dalam kehidupan sehari-hari dan dapat mewujudkan kerukunan pada masyarakat. Pengembangan model dan strategi interaksi antar umat beragama yang berlaku secara general dapat dikaji dalam penelitian selanjutnya

This paper presents a new symbolic corpus of musical themes from the complete Star Wars trilogies (Episodes I-IX) by John Williams. The corpus files are made available in multiple formats (.krn, .sib., and .musicxml) and include melodic, harmonic, and formal information. The Star Wars Thematic Corpus (SWTC) contains a total of 64 distinctive, recurring, and symbolically meaningful themes and motifs, commonly referred to as leitmotifs. Through this corpus we also introduce a new humdrum standard for non-functional harmony encodings, **harte (Harte et al., 2005; Harte, 2010). This report details the motivation, describes the transcription and encoding processes, and provides some brief summary statistics. While relatively small in scale, the SWTC represents a unified collection from one of the most prolific and influential composers of the 20th and 21st centuries, and the under-studied subset of film and multimedia musical material in general. We hope the SWTC will provide insights into John Williams’ compositional style, as well as prove useful in comparisons against other thematic corpora from film and beyond.

This study aims to reveal the portrait of tolerance and religious harmony practiced by the Golong village community between Muslims and Hindus through the Ngejot tradition. The study departs from Indonesia's many religious conflicts, especially on the island of Lombok. The clashes occurred because of the lack of religious tolerance of the Sasak people. Amid many disputes that arise, the Golong village community has its way of maintaining religious harmony, namely through the Ngejot tradition. The research is included in the type of field research (field research) because the data is collected through explanations or answers from informants. Data sources The data in this study were obtained from religious leaders, humanists, and people who have a broad understanding of the tradition of Ngejot. The data collection is done by interview, observation, and documentation methods. The results of this study indicate that the Ngejot tradition carried out by two religions, namely Islam and Hinduism, aims to strengthen the bonds of brotherhood and kinship that have long been built by their ancestors who have noble ideals to create a harmonious life. This tradition is not just about giving or delivering food to each other on religious holidays but goes beyond the meaning of tolerance itself. Islamic and Hindu religious communities not only respect each other and respect each other's rights but are also actively involved in realizing a tolerant and harmonious attitude to life. This is evidenced by mutual assistance to secure each other's religious activities on significant days such as Eid al-Fitr, Adha, takbiran marches, Kuningan, Odalan, and other religious social activities. They help each other without having to be hindered by religious barriers. Because for them, both Muslims and Hindus are basemen (brothers). Free For Article Collaboration With 2 Countries.

The article presents the results of the authors’ research on the cosmological views of Johannes Keppler in his Latin treatise Harmonices Mundi. The authors discuss the background of composing the treatise concerning the philosophical, religious, and cultural contexts of that period, and give a brief overview of the structure of the treatise, Kepler’s theory and his third law of harmony. The paper demonstrates the connection and reception of philosophical ideas on the harmony of the world in Kepler’s treatise and ancient philosophers, such as Pythagoras, Plato, and Proclus. This shows that Kepler’s philosophical and scientific views largely depended on his theological background. The authors discuss the perception of ancient cosmological ideas in Kepler’s Harmonices Mundi relating to Pythagorean tetractys, five Platonic solids or regular polyhedral, and cosmic harmony as well as Proclus’ theoretical mathematics.

On March 1, 1954, the US military detonated “Castle Bravo,” its most powerful nuclear bomb, at Bikini Atoll in the Marshall Islands. Two days later, the US military evacuated the Marshallese to a nearby atoll where they became part of a classified study, without their consent, on the effects of radiation on humans. In Radiation Sounds Jessica A. Schwartz examines the seventy-five years of Marshallese music developed in response to US nuclear militarism on their homeland. Schwartz shows how Marshallese singing draws on religious, cultural, and political practices to make heard the deleterious effects of US nuclear violence. Schwartz also points to the literal silencing of Marshallese voices and throats compromised by radiation as well as the United States’ silencing of information about the human radiation study. By foregrounding the centrality of the aural and sensorial in understanding nuclear testing’s long-term effects, Schwartz offers new modes of understanding the relationships between the voice, sound, militarism, indigeneity, and geopolitics.

Simple Summary: Equestrian sports include a diverse range of activities requiring a wide variety of technical skills, all of which are based on collaboration between a rider and a horse. During training, horses are taught to respond appropriately to the rider's cues or "aids". In addition to these trained responses, the rider's weight is associated with mechanical effects that are based on physical principles governing the behavior of, and interactions between, bodies in the environment. The effects of gravity, inertia, and turning have predictable effects on the horse, but these may be modified by the rider's symmetry, balance, and posture. The ultimate goal is for the rider to have a harmonious relationship with the horse, which is addressed in the final section of this article exploring the biomechanical underpinnings of the harmony between riders and horses. Movements of the horse and rider in equestrian sports are governed by the laws of physics. An understanding of these physical principles is a prerequisite to designing and interpreting biomechanical studies of equestrian sports. This article explains and explores the biomechanical effects between riders and horses, including gravitational and inertial forces, turning effects, and characteristics of rider technique that foster synchronous movement with the horse. Rider symmetry, posture, and balance are discussed in the context of their relationship to rider skill level and their effects on the horse. Evidence is presented to support the feasibility of improving equestrian performance by off-horse testing followed by unmounted therapy and exercises to target the identified deficiencies. The elusive quality of harmony, which is key to a true partnership between riders and horses, is explored and described in biomechanical terms. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

HARMONY in music , *PIANO , *MUSICALS - Abstract
Ninth chords are in the group of extended chords. In the age of the tonal system, dominant ninth chords, which are established on the V degree of the scale, are used. The uses of these dissonant chords, which differ in major and minor tonalities, in works show differences in music history, mostly based on the requirements of the period. The related evolution is more striking in that it is easily observed in works written for the piano, which is a polyphonic instrument. In this study, the organizations, inversions, alterations on the 9th voices, resolutions, and rootless uses of dominant ninth chords were first discussed theoretically; then, their available uses were examined on examples from baroque, classical, romantic, and 20th century piano works. In the age of the tonal system, the 9th voice above the dominant chord was initially considered a non-chord tone and was resolved before the chord change, later used as a chord tone and resolved during the chord change if present, and continued to be used as a chord tone in the 20th century, but the resolution tendency was observed to decrease. In the relevant Turkish literature, there are deficiencies in the context of examining the use of diatonic and altered ninth chords. It is recommended that such topics, which sometimes go beyond classical harmony teaching, be given more prominence in the contents of harmony books. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

MANUSCRIPTS , *MUSIC theory - Abstract
Beethoven's lessons in Vienna with Haydn, Albrechtsberger, and Salieri are well known, but considerably less has been written about his earlier studies in Bonn. This article examines what Beethoven may have learned from two treatises that Gustav Nottebohm (1873) connected to Beethoven's Bonn manuscripts: Johann Philipp Kirnberger's Die wahren Grundsätze zum Gebrauch der Harmonie (1773) and Georg Joseph Vogler's Gründe der Kuhrpfälzischen Tonschule in Beyspielen (1776, revised in 1778). I corroborate the evidence that links these treatises to Beethoven, analyze and categorize their contents, and suggest some parallels between materials in these treatises and Beethoven's Bonn works including his "Elector" piano sonatas (WoO 47; 1783) and his two unusual preludes for piano or organ (op. 39; 1789, published in 1803). From what we know of Beethoven's studies in Vienna, several pillars of standard eighteenthcentury musical education are missing: the study of solfeggio, thoroughbass, and harmony. This article makes the case that Beethoven encountered this training in Bonn. From Kirnberger's Grundsätze, he would have learned about the fundamental bass, harmonic function and progression, and the principles of prolongation. In Vogler's book, he would have encountered solfeggio exercises, common thoroughbass patterns including the Rule of the Octave, invertible sequences, diminution patterns, modulations schemes to every key, the fundamental bass, and more. Although these two treatises were not the only books Beethoven likely studied in Bonn, they offer probable windows into his formative lessons in music theory, improvisation, and composition. There is hardly any treatise which could be too learned for me. I have not the slightest pretension to what is properly called erudition. Yet from my childhood I have striven to understand what the better and wiser people of every age were driving at in their works. Shame on an artist who does not consider it his duty to achieve at least as much. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

MUSIC theory , *MUSICAL composition - Abstract
Seeking to elucidate aspects of harmonic practice that originated in contrapuntal patterns, this article traces a specific set of voice-leading configurations in which the generative roles of dissonance, counterpoint, and harmonic progression are blurred. These configurations, originating in early eighteenth-century practice, feature upper-voice suspensions, which are notable for their interlocking qualities and for their compatibility with an extended range of thoroughbass patterns and bass motions (Harrison 2003). Segments of such patterns were partially assimilated into later compositional practice and appeared in treatises on fundamental-bass and scale-step systems of harmony, but these configurations revealed a degree of friction between counterpoint-based idioms and the emerging harmonic theories attempting to explain them according to singular principles. The continued appearance of these configurations in subsequent compositional practice raises the question of what aspects of dissonance and counterpoint have been both embedded in harmonic practice and increasingly subordinated to chord structure in the harmonic theories that stretch from Rameau to Schenker. This dialectical engagement between historical theory and compositional practice offers a critique of our inherited harmonic theories, exposing competing conceptions of dissonance and discrepancies over its autonomy relative to harmonic principles. Tracing this history also reveals that the essential connections among rhythm/meter, dissonance treatment, and harmonic progression that are clearly present in eighteenth-century practice--Kirnberger's "rhythmic harmony" (Aldrich 1970)--become increasingly subordinated to harmonic principles in nineteenth-century theory. The historical path of embedded dissonance appears to exemplify Adorno's notion of sedimentation, which offers several interesting disciplinary and aesthetic conclusions about harmonic theory.

Addressing this discrepancy is crucial for anticipating and mitigating potential challenges among Muslim minorities. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Background and Objectives: The present study aimed to explore meaningful change in the musical performance of cochlear implant (CI) users according to age after receiving music training compared to the other CI users who did not receive any music training and normal hearing (NH) listeners. Materials and Methods: Article search was conducted from five journal databases. In accordance with PICOS criteria, 29 articles and 15 articles were included for the CI and NH groups, respectively. A total of 44 articles consisting of 407 CI users and 486 NH participants were then analyzed. Using the data gathered from pre- and post-training, meta-analysis was applied by the random-effects model, and then piecewise meta-regression was employed. Results: CI users with music training showed better performance than those without the training across all ages. The curve change in musical performance when training showed that the CI users was similar to the general pattern of NH performance, indicating that the CI users gained benefits from music training and developed perceptual ability, even though it was not as high as the level of NH counterparts. Conclusions: This finding supports the benefits of active engagement with music for both CI users and NH listeners, while noting the important role of music as one of the primary aural rehabilitation approaches.
