Giovanni Palestrina was an influential Italian Renaissance composer known for his masses and motets written for the Catholic Church. He was born in 1525 near Rome and spent much of his career composing sacred music and working as a choirmaster in Rome, including for the Cappella Giulia. His most famous work is the Missa Papae Marcelli, a multi-movement mass using imitative polyphony across six vocal parts without accompaniment. Palestrina had a significant impact on liturgical music and is considered one of the greatest composers of Renaissance choral music.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
2. Giovanni Palestrina
• Giovanni Pierluigi da Palestrina took his name
from the italian town, Palestrina, in which he was
born.
• Little is know of his early life, although we know
he was listed as a member of a boys’ choir in
Palestrina in 1537.
• By 1544 he was an organist at a cathedral in
Palestrina.
• In 1547 he married Lucrezia Gori.
• They would have three sons.
3. Giovanni Palestrina
• In 1550 a bishop from the town of Palestrina was
appointed Pope Julius III.
• Julius hired Giovanni as a choirmaster for the
Cappella Giulia, a kind of training school for choir
members of the Sistine Chapel in Rome.
• The choir also accompanied ceremonies in St.
Peter’s Basilica with the Vatican.
• By this time Giovanni had begun composing
masses as well as other music required by the
church.
4. Giovanni Palestrina
• He didicated his first book of masses to Pope
Julius in 1554.
• When Julius died in 1555, his successor, Pope
Paul IV, replaced Palestrina at the Cappella
Giulia.
• Historians believe that Palestrina was
dismissed because he was not a priest and
because he had begun to compose some
secular (non-church-related) music.
5. Giovanni Palestrina
• Between 1555 and 1566, Palestrina conducted
choirs at various Catholic churches in Rome
and continued to compose music for the
church.
• In 1567, he entered the service of Cardinal
Ippolito in Tivoli, near Rome, where he was in
charge of all music activities for the Cardinal.
• The church had recently revised its rule for
music.
6. Giovanni Palestrina
• This meant that some of Palestrina’s masses
could not be performed because they contained
words which had been eliminated from the mass,
and others were now unsuitable because they
contained non-sacred songs.
• On two occasions, Palestrina was offered
choirmaster positions outside of Italy, but he
rejected both offers because he preferred to stay
in Rome.
7. Giovanni Palestrina
• Palestrina’s first book of motets was published in 1567,
he returned to the position of choirmaster at Cappella
Giulia in Rome, a job he had held 20 years earlier.
• In the late 1570s, Palestrina’s wife and three sons died,
and he briefly considered becoming a priest.
• He changed his mind and married Virginia Dormoli, a
wealthy widow, in 1581.
• For the rest of his life, he managed her financial and
business interests while continuing to compose music.
• Before he died in 1594, he published 16 collections of
his music.
8. Giovanni Palestrina
• Palestrina wrote music primarily for the Catholic
Church, including masses and other choral works
often accompanied by organ, although he wrote
secular vocal and choir music as well.
• Today, just over 100 of his masses survive,
although he probably wrote many more than
that.
• He also composed more than 450 motets and
140 madrigals.
• He is known today as one of the most important
composers of music for the Catholic Church.
9. Palestrina Factoids
• When Palestrina was appointed to the papal chapel in
Rome, Pope Julius III exempted Palestrina from the usual
entrance examination because of his skill as a composer.
• Late in his life, Palestrina was given the assignment of
revising the music in the official liturgical books of the
Catholic Church. He did not complete the task, but it was
completed by others after his death.
• Today, Palestrina is recognized as perhaps the greatest
composer of choral music of the Renaissance Era.
• Pope Pius IV created a job for Palestrina: “Composer of the
Papal Chapel.”After Pius IV’s death, rival musicians tried to
have him removed from the position, but they were
unsuccessful; he was retained by Pius V.
10. “Kyrie” from Missa Papae Marcelli
• Palestrina’s Missa Papae Marcelli (Pope Marcellus
Mass) is the most well-known and most widely-
performed of his over 100 masses.
• Like most masses of the Renaissance Era, the
mass consists of five main sections:
– Kyrie
– Gloria
– Credo
– Sanctus/Benedictus
– Agnus Dei
11. “Kyrie” from Missa Papae Marcelli
• This serene mass contains approximately 35 minutes of
free-composed choral music for 6-part chorus
(Soprano, Alto, Tenor 1, Tenor 2, Bass 1, Bass 2), though
Palestrina used a variety of voice combinations
throughout the composition (he also included an
“Agnus Dei II” for 7-voice chorus, adding a Soprano 2
part).
• The entire mass is a cappella (no accompaniment).
• While the Kyrie is primarily polyphonic, much of the
rest of the mass is set in a block chord, declamatory
style, so that the text can be easily understood in
performance.
12. “Kyrie” from Missa Papae Marcelli
• Palestrina, a master of counterpoint choral
writing, wrote most of his vocal lines using
stepwise movement.
• The mass was written in memory of Pope
Marcellus II, who reigned for only three weeks
in 1555.
• The mass was first published in 1567 in
Palestrina’s second collection of mass settings.
13. “Kyrie” from Missa Papae Marcelli
– The “Kyrie eleison” is the first section of the mass.
– It was written in 4/2 time, with Tenor I taking the lead
starting on a D and presenting the opening motif,
singing up a perfect fourth, then moving down by
steps.
– Sopranos echo these opening notes, beginning on
beat three.
– In the next measure, Bass 1 imitates with a similar
melody starting lower on a G.
– Then the Altos do the same, beginning on beat three.
14. “Kyrie” from Missa Papae Marcelli
• In measure five, Tenor 2 echoes the opening motif.
• Finally on beat three of that measure, Bass 2 enters
with a new counterline.
• Each voice part is of equal importance, resulting in a
balanced work full of rich weaving lines and textures.
• Listen for the simple melodic motifs which are echoed
and imitated.
• The middle “Christe eleison” section presents pairs of
voices calling and answering each other, then moves
into a fuller texture.
• The return of the final “Kyrie eleison” features the
voices entering in imitation with more energy.
