Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Bamboo House is flexible, even transitory. For Dorothy it involved twenty- two house moves across six countries. All in just thirty-three years. People who live in these houses may be either in or out of the Ivory Tower. On or off the payroll. Careers begin, grow, and sometimes change shape. Residents move from naivete to wisdom, while patience curbs selfishness. A Bamboo House is where youth becomes maturity, and love and marriage can happen. Children are born and become teenagers. Meanwhile, dear friends enrich the days and enlarge our horizons.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A humble endeavour to gather available historical documentary resources, this book does not pretend to be an exhaustive foundation for local history. This book rather aims to be a tool for us to constantly remember our past as we build up our identity for a meaningful future. Rich in history and cultural heritage, Misamis Occidental, the Grand Northwest of Mindanao, reminds us of our human call to reconnect with our historical past as a pilgrim people and learn noteworthy lessons in existence. The ecclesiastical and secular events that intertwined the early history of Misamisnons make us realize that the many aspects of our own historicity are priceless as life itself. The essays, each a product of reflection and historical research, deal with individuals, places and events related to the timeline of the Grand Northwest.

Download or read book Colonial Counterpoint written by D. R. M. Irving and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2010-06-03 with total page 409 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Named one of BBC History Magazine's "Books of the Year" in 2010 In this groundbreaking study, D. R. M. Irving reconnects the Philippines to current musicological discourse on the early modern Hispanic world. For some two and a half centuries, the Philippine Islands were firmly interlinked to Latin America and Spain through transoceanic relationships of politics, religion, trade, and culture. The city of Manila, founded in 1571, represented a vital intercultural nexus and a significant conduit for the regional diffusion of Western music. Within its ethnically diverse society, imported and local musics played a crucial role in the establishment of ecclesiastical hierarchies in the Philippines and in propelling the work of Roman Catholic missionaries in neighboring territories. Manila's religious institutions resounded with sumptuous vocal and instrumental performances, while an annual calendar of festivities brought together many musical traditions of the indigenous and immigrant populations in complex forms of artistic interaction and opposition. Multiple styles and genres coexisted according to strict regulations enforced by state and ecclesiastical authorities, and Irving uses the metaphors of European counterpoint and enharmony to critique musical practices within the colonial milieu. He argues that the introduction and institutionalization of counterpoint acted as a powerful agent of colonialism throughout the Philippine Archipelago, and that contrapuntal structures were reflected in the social and cultural reorganization of Filipino communities under Spanish rule. He also contends that the active appropriation of music and dance by the indigenous population constituted a significant contribution to the process of hispanization. Sustained "enharmonic engagement" between Filipinos and Spaniards led to the synthesis of hybrid, syncretic genres and the emergence of performance styles that could contest and subvert hegemony. Throwing new light on a virtually unknown area of music history, this book contributes to current understanding of the globalization of music, and repositions the Philippines at the frontiers of research into early modern intercultural exchange.
