Among the Voices: Bernard Rands Symposium at Brigham Young Univeristy --------------------------- 1. FINALE Discussion List I am pleased to announce the FINALE discussion list. While FINALE (a powerful and complicated music notation program for Macintosh and Windows platforms) will be our chief discussion, other CODA products as well as other notation programs are suitable topics. An ftp site for files and other such tidbits will be in place eventually. Suggestions and uploads will be welcome. To subscribe to the FINALE list, send an e-mail message to LISTSERV@SHSU.edu consisting of SUBSCRIBE Finale. The following message will be sent to you. Further administrative requests regarding this list should be sent to: LISTSERV@SHSU.edu The following commands can be handled automatically by the list processor: SIGNOFF Finale - to remove yourself from the list REVIEW Finale - to get a list of subscribers QUERY Finale - to get the status of your entry on the list SET Finale MAIL - to resume receiving mail from the list SET Finale NOMAIL - to remain on the list but not receive mail SET Finale CONCEAL - to not report your address in a REVIEW SET Finale NOCONCEAL - to report your address in a REVIEW SET Finale REPRO - to receive posts you make to Finale SET Finale NOREPRO - to not receive posts you make to Finale LIST - to get a list of mailing lists served by this host HELP - to receive a help file By default, subscriptions are set to MAIL, REPRO, NOCONCEAL. THE DIGEST To receive the digest version (generated at approximately 6 a.m. each morning from the prior 24 hours worth of posts and distributed at that time), you need to (a) subscribe to Finale-Digest and (b) unsubscribe from Finale (unfortunately, we do not yet support a SET DIGEST option, so a companion list is required). To achieve this, include the following two lines of text: SIGNOFF Finale SUBSCRIBE Finale-Digest "Your Real Name in Quotes" in the body of a mail message to LISTSERV@SHSU.edu. Sam Houston State University's implementation of LISTSERV is mail oriented exclusively and is only responsive to the above commands. Conventional IBM-based interactive LISTSERV is not available, nor are its complement of commands -- only those listed above. Please do NOT send administrative messages to the list address (Finale@SHSU.edu) as posts to these addresses are sent to the entire subscribership distribution for the list. -------------------- About Finale Archives -------------------- Archives of Finale are maintained via MAIL on the Sam Houston State University file server, FILESERV, under the filename structure FINALE.YYYY-MM, where "yyyy" represents the year and "mm" represents the numeric equivalent of the month. For example, the archives of Finale for January, 1994, would be FINALE.1994-01. To retrieve via MAIL the Finale archives for June, 1994, include the command: SENDME FINALE.1994-06 in the body of a mail message to FILESERV@SHSU.edu. You may send FILESERV multiple commands so long as each resides on a unique line of the MAIL message. If you are interested in available FILESERV commands, include the command HELP in the body of a mail message to FILESERV. --------------- FTP access to files served on FILESERV --------------- Most files which are accessible for FILESERV retrieval are also available for anonymous ftp retrieval from Niord.SHSU.edu (192.92.115.8), including the archives for Finale. Archives for Finale are retained in the directory [FILESERV.FINALE] using the same filename syntax as above. List owner: Henry E.

Call for Papers: Perspectives on the Arts and Technology The Journal of Aesthetics and Art Criticism announces a call for papers for a special issue of the Journal on "Perspectives on the Arts and Technology." This issue will be devoted to theoretical explorations of interrelationships of the arts and aesthetics with technologies and sciences. We invite papers that will provide, for a nontechnical audience, meaningful perspectives on the fine arts or on aesthetic experience in terms of technologies and sciences- -or bases for better appreciating the aesthetic dimensions of technological and scientific developments. Authors might consider how standard issues and positions in aesthetics can be improved through better understanding of such interrelationships. Submitted papers may interpret current and projected developments in art, technology, and science, but may also be historical. Treatments of traditional or nonscientific technologies in connection with the fine arts and aesthetic experiences are welcome. Suggested topics include: technological families and art media, issues of interactivity and telematic connectivity, immaterial versus materials technologies and arts, digital technologies and art, technologies of imagining and participation, technologies of art reproduction, modern art and high technology, keyboards, aesthetic coherence of technoscientific arts, etc. Submissions should be in triplicate and accompanied by brief abstracts. Deadline: 1 September 1995.

Music Instruction Software WWW Page I have assembled a World Wide Web server page with several programs of interest to music teachers and beginning to advanced music students. The page has several shareware and freeware programs that help students learn the basics of music (note learning, ear training, music theory, and so on). I am interested in collecting programs that might be helpful for all instrumentalists and singers, but so far most programs seem to be aimed at pianists. The URL for the page is: http://www.cstp.umkc.edu/users/bhugh/musici.html You are welcome to browse the page with your WWW server (it already has a several entries), but I am particularly interested in suggestions for programs that could be included on the page. The programs should be available on the net and should be designed to help students master the basics of music (notation, ear training, theory, and history). I am also interested in other information of interest to instrumental music teachers, such as email lists, usenet newsgroups, and other WWW pages. Please email me with your suggestions. Thanks, Brent Hugh bhugh@aurora.cstp.umkc.edu --------------------------------------- 4.
