 Harvard Gazette: Eileen Southern dies at 82
Eileen Jackson Southern, an authority on Renaissance and African-American music and the first fl female professor to be given tenure at Harvard, died Sunday (Oct. 13) in Port Charlotte, Fla. She was 82.
Born in Minneapolis, Minn., Southern studied piano and played her first concert in Chicago at the age of 7.
Besides jazz, what is there?" Southern later said that that remark was partly responsible for prompting her to write "The Music of Black Americans, a History" (1970), which discusses not only jazz, blues, and spirituals, but the full gamut of musical genres to which African Americans have contributed over the past 450 years.

But Southern’s passing on 13 October 2002 couldn’t be felt more personally for those of us who consider the field of fl music research our scholarly home, and is certainly reason for reflection on her impact on the field.
As she was to so many others, Southern was a legend to me, the grand dame of fl music research, the woman who had single-handedly turned the field into a legitimate scholarly specialty.
In fact, Southern was angered when several of her fellow musicologists suggested she scrap her idea for a course she was developing on fl music history.

GLOBEC International is coordinating the development of a program to investigate the dynamics of Southern Ocean organisms and the interactions of key populations with each other (predation, competition) and with their physical environment, especially with sea ice dynamics and water circulation.
Much of the early study of the Southern Ocean marine ecosystem was initiated as a result of whaling activities and was directed at understanding the factors controlling the food supply of whales, namely krill.
Southern Ocean GLOBEC differs from GLOBEC programs in other regions in that there is a greater emphasis on top predator species such as birds and seals.

 MIRA amongst the Petroglyphs
Eileen had found a petroglyph which she felt had astronomical significance and hoped that I could link it to the famous supernova of 1054 A.D. This would provide her with a specific date for a group of petroglyphs.
Her hope was inspired by the suggestion by astronomers John Brandt and Ray Williamson that a petroglyph of a crescent moon near a bright star discovered in Chaco Canyon in New Mexico depicted the observation of the famous supernova by the Anasazi.
Eileen was delighted that I was able to provide a (relatively) confident identification of the inspiration for the petroglyph.

The author of this book is the renowned Eileen Southern (Professor Emerita of Music and Afro-American Studies at Harvard University) who is herself a musician as well as a writer, and is eminently qualified to illuminate The Music of Black Americans to the world in general.
It is by far the most "definitive" book on the subject.Dr. Southern's insistence upon "historical dates and periods" to accompany the development and proliferation of African derived music, keeps the music connected to the economic,political, and social "conditions" that brought it about.

The committee's rejection of Southern, along with it's refusal to grant her an extension, prompted Wright to file a complaint with the EEOC and consider suing the University, Winston D. Kendall, Wright's lawyer, said this week.
Southern, who worked with Wright on her research, said last December that "it would be a simple matter to allow her to stay on an extra year." She added that the department routinely grants requests for extensions, often for "less important reasons" than Wright's.

Eileen Southern, in her book The Music of Black Americans: A History, explains that in spite of the fact that the musical cultures of the West Africans “varied from nation to nation, the cultures shared enough features to constitute an identifiable heritage for Africans in the New World” (21).
Eileen Southern believes this “institutionalized cult of ritual worship” existed in Louisiana much earlier because slaves had been imported from the West Indies as early as 1716 (138).
Eileen Southern tells us that jazz came from the “fusion of blues and ragtime with brass-band music and syncopated dance music” (361).

In addition to many accounts of fl military fife and drum players in the eiteenth and nineteenth centuries, there are many references to African drumming in various Southern states and occasionally in the North.
Undoubtedly this African tradition was in great part responsible for the popularity of the fife and drum band among fls and it would seem to have introduced considerable syncopation and polyrhythm into the drumming.

Eileen Southern and I later appropriated Du Bois’s thesis during the mid-1970s and 1980s when we investigated American literature from the seventeenth century through the early twentieth century for evidence of African-American expressive culture in the oral and performing arts.
Watson complained in his epistle that poorly educated fl Methodists sang unapproved, unintelligible songs of their own composition in divine worship, and that they performed these songs in “the chorus manner of southern harvest field, or husking frolic method, of the slave fls” (qtd.
In 1997 Eileen Southern similarly commented on young African-American musicians reviving and tweaking musical practices from the past, connecting in one instance performance practices associated with one slave plantation dance, the Juba dance, to “rap.” According to Southern,
