McKnight Visiting Composer Residency Fellowship

woo hoo!! I just found out I have been awarded a McKnight Visiting Composer Residency fellowship for this project: I am really pumped for the financial and moral support this grant will give the project! yay!! (the link for the grant is broken at the moment, but the short information is that it awards funding for a stay of two months in MN by an out-of-state composer and is particularly interested in composers doing residencies in underserved and rural communities. you think maybe this project fits the bill?!?)

yay!!!

    Hi, Eve.

    Linda here, finally getting to spend some time catching up. Great news. I want to meet you there as you begin your journey. We can talk about documenting your work, interviews, etc. I am reading Twain's Life on the Mississippi.

    Check out Richard Whittaker's "Works and Conversations" site. I think you'll like it, re: Hyde's anthropology of the gift, art, spirit, interviews, etc. I used to know Irene Pijoan, RIP, and her interview there is a real bruiser. Breathtaking, really.

    Eve,
    Here is the link to the VHS Library site with reference to Indian Place Names of Vermont:

    http://catalog.vermonthistory.org/vhsweb2/tramp2.exe/see_record/A01s4m8l.013?server=1home&item=2&item_source=1home

    Other VHS titles include:
    Indian Place Names of New England by John Charles Huden

    Native American Place Names in Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont by R.A. Douglas-Lithgow

    Western Abenaki Dictionary by Gordon M. Day

    A journal of voyages and travels in the interiour of North America : between the 47th and 58th degrees of north latitude, extending from Montreal nearly to the Pacific Ocean ... including an account of the principal occurrences, during a residence of nineteen years, in different parts of the country ; to which are added, a concise description of the face of the country, its inhabitants ... and considerable specimens of the two languages, most extensively spoken ; together with an account of the principal animals, to be found in the forests and prairies of this extensive region ; illustrated by a map of the country / by Daniel Williams Harmon, a partner in the North West Company.
    Harmon, Daniel Williams, 1778-1845.

    There are more titles, relating to Algonquins more than to Hurons.

    Good luck in your endeavors -- I look forward to following your work on this project!
    Leslie
