	Electronic Music -- Hugh LeCaine
		Above: Dr. Hugh LeCaine combines electronic theory with a "command performance" for His Royal Highness the Duke of Edinburgh on his visit to NRC in 1954.
		With the invention of the electronic Sackbut in 1945, Hugh LeCaine opened the era of electronic music (the more widely-accepted advent of this music occurred three years later when the French engineer/composer Pierre Schaeffer recorded street sounds in Paris, combining them in various ways to form his "musique concrete").
		LeCaine's answer was the construction of an extremely sensitive instrument which, unlike other keyboard instruments, could slur and slide from note to note, producing continuously variable sounds with an additional capacity for making constant tone, color and pitch adjustments.

		LeCaine himself reports that there was a rumour that Lady Eaton's profile had been used for the waveform of a stop called "Flora." When LeCaine later asked Robb about the stop, the inventor replied that it was Lady Flora's voice, or an oscillogram equivalent of it, that resided in that stop.
		LeCaine worked, in a laboratory that he set up in his home, to develop a monophonic electronic instrument which he dubbed the "Sackbut." LeCaine was well aware how quickly advances in technology took place and felt himself to be rather isolated in his lab in Ottawa.
		LeCaine's work on musical instruments was halted once again in 1948 when the NRC sent him to the University of Birmingham in England to work in the field of nuclear physics.

	Electroacoustic Music
		McGill's Istvan Anhalt pioneered the first electroacoustic music studio in Quebec in 1964 with the help of composer/inventor Hugh LeCaine.
		Music audiences are also indebted to Anhalt for the first electroacoustic music concert in Canada, which took place at McGill, where he presented his own compositions as well as those of LeCaine and Karlheinz Stockhausen.
		Electroacoustic music was therefore integrated early on into the composition program, but since 1990, under the leadership of composer Bruce Pennycook, the university has developed a very specific program called Music Technology, which is associated with the faculty's Theory Department.

	H-Net Review: Gary B. Cohen on Origins of the Czech National Renascence
		French- and German-language scholarship on the early phase of the Czech national revival has also been scarce since the 1950s with the notable exception of Walter Schamschula's writings.
		Hugh Agnew's treatment of the cultural and intellectual origins of the revival represents, then, a significant and much needed contribution to the literature.
		In a clearly written and logically organized presentation, Professor Agnew discusses the efforts of Josef Dobrovsky, F. Pelcl, Frantisek Tomsa, V. Kramerius, and many other Czech grammarians, lexicographers, historians, and poets of their generation to revive the Czech language and encourage its use in literature, theater, journalism, and general discourse.

		However, while specific periods in Czech history are dealt with, a truly comprehensive history has not been available.
		What Hugh Agnew provides, is a very readable, fast-moving text that covers Czech history from the eighth century until the present.
		I greatly enjoyed reading Hugh Agnew's book and think that many will find that it provides a much-needed, complete, balanced, and enthusiastic overview of Czech politics and the evolution of national identity.
