SUMMARY:Philosophy Study Group
DESCRIPTION:We will begin a discussion of the book When They Severed Earth from Sky: How the Human Mind Shapes Myth (2004) by Elizabeth Wayland Barber and Paul T. Barber. For the 12th we’ll read the first ten chapters. This is a book about how myth operates in preliterate societies by taking advantage of aspects of the human mind that we are just beginning to learn about. Joseph Campbell it is not. \nUnfortunately\, this is not an inexpensive book\, though it’s still not like buying a textbook. A new paperback lists for $35 and even an ebook starts at $20. We’re going with it anyway\, since inflation has recently driven prices of many commodities significantly higher and we do our best to stay current. Perhaps you could negotiate to get the seller to include a dozen eggs. \n

SUMMARY:Beyond “Jeg elsker dig”: A Program of Nordic Song
DESCRIPTION:A few songs by Edvard Grieg are known to the classical music public\, and occasional songs by other composers (Sibelius\, especially) might show up on concert programs\, particularly when the singer is from Sweden or Finland (Sibelius\, that patriotic Finn\, wrote most of his songs to Swedish texts). But the great flowering of art song in the nineteenth and twentieth century late Romantic period in the Nordic countries is mostly unknown here. \nJim Reilly\, though his long association as an accompanist with singers of this repertoire\, and his position at Mindekirken (our area’s only surviving Norwegian language church)\, where he’s now Music Director Emeritus\, has had the good luck to both accompany and/or sing many of these neglected songs.  You’ll recognize some of the names\, but some (Hakon Børeesen anyone? Julius Behgaard? Sigfus Einarsson? Toivo Kuula? and others) will be new to most Americans. \nInserted in the middle of the program which Jim will sing\, accompanied by Beatrice Giere\, will be a novelty: an alternation of songs by the great Swedish songwriter Ture Rangström (sung by tenor Ben Cooper\, with Jim at the piano) with some of Chopin’s piano preludes. The goal is not to claim any direct influence on Rangström by Chopin\, but to demonstrate just how well Rangström wrote for the piano as well as the voice. \nWe’re hoping to have a short tour of the church after the program (this has yet to be confirmed). If you’ve never been to Mindekirken or visited Norway House next door here’s a fine opportunity to do so\, and enjoy some fine and rarely heard music.

SUMMARY:Philosophy Study Group
DESCRIPTION:  \nWe will conclude talking about myth and the mind as presented in the book When They Severed Earth from Sky: How the Human Mind Shapes Myth by Elizabeth Wayland Barber and Paul T. Barber. By reading this book and participating in our discussion\, you will feel the spirit of Socrates spread over you and begin to have a grasp of how the mind works to create myth. Really. I’m not making this up. \n
