Abstract

The recent announcement that Macmillan (London) is planning to publish an art counterpart to its New Grove Dictionary of Music and Musicians creates an excuse to consider what is already available in general encyclopedic reference works in the fields of art history and architectural history. Obviously, a new art encyclopedia, like the massive, authoritative New Grove Dictionary, would change the picture completely; but what are art and general reference librarians using currently to satisfy patrons with short‐range information needs in the visual arts? This survey will attempt to answer this by examining available references in some detail. Because of space limitations, works containing only biographical information on artists or only definitions of term, will not be considered.

Abstract

For most of us in the industry, and certainly the members of CEMA, 1992 could have been much better. To look back over the black spots would serve only to remind us that we are not yet out of the woods. Despite the continuing recession with its attendant gloom and despondency, the Association has had some high points during the past year.

Abstract

Ich habe genug (I have enough) BWV 82 is one of the best known, most regularly performed and consistently recorded of J.S. Bach's approximately 200 extant sacred cantatas.1 In the text, by an anonymous author, the narrator repeatedly expresses their readiness to die, in faith that they will be received by their saviour in eternal life. The whole cantata expresses a fearless ‘longing for death’ (Schweitzer, 1911/1966, p. 114), coupled with a serene contentment. Bach's setting of this text for religious purposes not only supports the sentiments expressed by the narrator but colours, illuminates, vitalises and elevates it in ways that startle the ear, quicken the spirit and stir the imagination. In the third and final aria of the cantata, Bach employs an almost-jaunty dance rhythm to accompany the narrator's anticipatory delight in their own death, liberated from worldly and bodily suffering. After identifying some of the ingenious ways Bach animates the text, I offer some speculations and elaborations as to how and why this work has had such an enduring presence in the Western musical canon, for believers and non-believers alike.

Abstract

Setting off on the short trip from the Isle of Man to London, it was a wet and windy day signalling the imminent arrival of another British winter. However, on arrival at Heathrow, the stormy weather had abated and there was an almost calm serenity which made the 15 minute drive to Egham in Surrey pleasantly uplifting.
