Merrily We Roll Along
This musical moves from 1976 backward to 1957 as it depicts the lives of three friends who have become estranged from one another. It was performed at John Carroll University in October of 1997.https://collected.jcu.edu/plays/1107/thumbnail.jp
Sunday in the Park with George
Inspired by George Seurat\u27s painting Sunday Afternoon on the Island of Le Grand Jatte, this is a play that in the first act contrasts the artist\u27s ability to organize and control his work and his inability to do either with his life. The second act is a second artist named George, Seurat\u27s grandson, trying to come to terms with similar issues.
This play opened on October 22, 1999 and was reviewed in The Plain Dealer on October 28, 1999.https://collected.jcu.edu/plays/1119/thumbnail.jp
A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum
The classic comedy, A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum was performed at John Carroll University in October of 2001.https://collected.jcu.edu/plays/1126/thumbnail.jp
The Long-Baseline Neutrino Experiment: Exploring Fundamental Symmetries of the Universe
The preponderance of matter over antimatter in the early Universe, the
dynamics of the supernova bursts that produced the heavy elements necessary for
life and whether protons eventually decay --- these mysteries at the forefront
of particle physics and astrophysics are key to understanding the early
evolution of our Universe, its current state and its eventual fate. The
Long-Baseline Neutrino Experiment (LBNE) represents an extensively developed
plan for a world-class experiment dedicated to addressing these questions. LBNE
is conceived around three central components: (1) a new, high-intensity
neutrino source generated from a megawatt-class proton accelerator at Fermi
National Accelerator Laboratory, (2) a near neutrino detector just downstream
of the source, and (3) a massive liquid argon time-projection chamber deployed
as a far detector deep underground at the Sanford Underground Research
Facility. This facility, located at the site of the former Homestake Mine in
Lead, South Dakota, is approximately 1,300 km from the neutrino source at
Fermilab -- a distance (baseline) that delivers optimal sensitivity to neutrino
charge-parity symmetry violation and mass ordering effects. This ambitious yet
cost-effective design incorporates scalability and flexibility and can
accommodate a variety of upgrades and contributions. With its exceptional
combination of experimental configuration, technical capabilities, and
potential for transformative discoveries, LBNE promises to be a vital facility
for the field of particle physics worldwide, providing physicists from around
the globe with opportunities to collaborate in a twenty to thirty year program
of exciting science. In this document we provide a comprehensive overview of
LBNE's scientific objectives, its place in the landscape of neutrino physics
worldwide, the technologies it will incorporate and the capabilities it will
possess.Comment: Major update of previous version. This is the reference document for
LBNE science program and current status. Chapters 1, 3, and 9 provide a
comprehensive overview of LBNE's scientific objectives, its place in the
landscape of neutrino physics worldwide, the technologies it will incorporate
and the capabilities it will possess. 288 pages, 116 figure
Heavy Quarks and Heavy Quarkonia as Tests of Thermalization
We present here a brief summary of new results on heavy quarks and heavy
quarkonia from the PHENIX experiment as presented at the "Quark Gluon Plasma
Thermalization" Workshop in Vienna, Austria in August 2005, directly following
the International Quark Matter Conference in Hungary.Comment: 8 pages, 5 figures, Quark Gluon Plasma Thermalization Workshop

Sondheim's technique
This article is primarily made up of an edited transcript of an interview which Stephen Sondheim gave in 1985 for a BBC/Open University television programme. In it the composer discusses his compositional processes and the relationship between text (lyrics) and music. He also discusses issues relating to performance practice of his work, in particular idioms (musical theatres, opera houses) inasmuch as they influence his compositional method. The idiom of performances are further dealt with in respect of the nature of audiences. The examples that Sondheim draws on are "The Ballad of Sweeney Todd" from Sweeney Todd, The Demon Barber of Fleet Street (1979) and "Send in the Clowns" from A Little Night Music (1973).
A note on the editing of the transcript
My questions are précised but retain their original sense. I have edited out obvious superfluities in Sondheim's responses and the order of the various sections of the interview have been modestly rearranged, but not to the extent that they alter the original sense. The music illustrations are those which Sondheim played at the piano, the single exception being the first, which was illustrated in the programme by a film extract
