	The Classical Journal
		The Classical Journal (ISSN 0009-8353) is published by the Classical Association of the Middle West and South (CAMWS), the largest regional classics association in the United States and Canada, and is now over a century old.
		The Classical Journal contains a mix of academic articles and notes on Graeco-Roman antiquity, generally with a literary, historical or cultural focus; paedagogical articles and notes, most having to do with the challenges of teaching Latin in modern high schools, colleges and universities; book reviews; and a list of books received.
		Back issues of Classical Journal (through 2003–04) are now available on JSTOR; CAMWS members whose academic institution does not provide them with access to JSTOR may purchase individual access to the CJ archives through the association’s business office.

	European classical music at AllExperts
		Classical music is a broad, somewhat imprecise term, referring to music produced in, or rooted in the traditions of, European art, ecclesiastical and concert music, encompassing a broad period from roughly 1000 to the present day.
		The term classical music did not appear until the early 19th century, in an attempt to "canonize" the period from Bach to Beethoven as an era in music parallel to the golden age of sculpture, architecture and art of classical antiquity (from which no music has directly survived).
		Classical works often display great musical complexity through the composer's use of development, modulation (changing of keys), variation rather than exact repetition, musical phrases that are not of even length, counterpoint, polyphony and sophisticated harmony.

	Sample Chapter for Porter, J.I., ed.: Classical Pasts: The Classical Traditions of Greece and Rome.
		Classical antiquity is not consistently classical primarily because it has not been felt to be so in the past, but also because opinions about the question of where particular classical values are to be sought and found have varied.
		Whether classicism in antiquity is any more coherent than in its modern descendants and counterparts, this much at least is certain: things classical succeed most of all in conveying their classicality because they occupy a space that is simultaneously real and ideal.
		Classicism and classical bespeak a proudly venerable past, yet histories of the terms, one of the conventional ways scholars have tried to get at their meaning, reveal how recent their usage in fact is in the modern vernaculars.

		According to Greek astrologers of the late antiquity, who lived after the II century, archaioi are their historic predecessors.

	Madison and Federalist papers
		A thoughtful consideration of the impact of classical antiquity upon the founding of the American Republic reveals that a complex synthesis of classical, modern, philosophical, and rational thought was applied to form the basis for a system of government which reflected the combined political wisdom of thousands of years of human experience.
		In so doing, one will be led to apprehend the direct linkage between classical antiquity and the American political system; this, however, cannot be explained accurately in terms of simple imitation, but rather as a synthesis of classical thought and modern political philosophy applied to the exigencies of a modern democratic republic.
		This is a further indication of the degree to which widespread knowledge of classical antiquity was presupposed by the Founders, and Madison in particular.

		Balsdon, for instance, wrote, "We hear surprisingly little of language difficulties in antiquity." Learning foreign languages, teaching foreign languages, the role of the interpreter, contretemps caused by misunderstandings appear to be subjects that did not interest ancient authors.
