Abstract
This paper presents a report on the CD recording, "Complete Lute Works, Vol. 1". The paper describes the performer of the lute on the recording, how the tracks on the CD are setup, the degree of authenticity of the music and what the writer has learned from listening to the CD.
From the Paper
"Because my previous exposure to early music before this class was non-existent and that the only early music I have heard in class is mostly chant, this recording is very refreshing and brings a new perspective on early music to me. By using the lute, this recording deepened my understanding of early music by integrating a group of familiar instruments into a genre that I was relatively unfamiliar with. Through the instrumentation and performance of the lute, I now understand that chant was not the only genre of early music."

Abstract
This paper explains that the CD recording "The Lily and the Lamb: Chant and Polyphony from Medieval England" by Anonymous 4, an all female quartet that specializes in medieval music is an excellent example of this period's chant and polyphony music. The author points out that the recording is composed of eighteen tracks that are divided up into six different types of songs: one antiphon, five conductuses, two hymns, two motets, one processional hymn and seven sequences. The paper concludes that this recording is helpful in learning about sacred medieval music.
From the Paper
"A sequence is a category of Medieval Latin chant and is also known as prose. It is part of the liturgy and comes after the Alleluia. It usually begins with an introductory phrase of the form "aa." Then phrases are paired together until the concluding phrase "n." The total form of a sequence usually written as: "aabbccddeeff...n." There are seven sequences in this recording and they range in length from a little over a minute to over eight minutes long. While listening to the sequences in this recording, I noticed that they all seemed to follow the same pattern with the voices."

Digital Recording, 1991.
This paper discusses digital recording, with a focus on digital audio tape (DAT) recorders: History and development, theory and technology, quality, playback, encoding and compact discs.

From the Paper
"This paper will discuss the concept of digital recording, with a focus on digital audio tape (DAT) recorders. The methods of digital recording sharply contrast those of analog recording which preceded them. Analog recording is based on the concept of capturing the shapes of sound waves as they vibrate in the air. In an analog recording, sound is "stored as a physical representation of the original soundform". An example of this can be seen in the squiggly lines which form the grooves on a phonograph record. With digital recording, on the other hand, computer technology is used to convert analog waveforms into numerical, or digital, data. In a compact disc (CD) player, this data is read by means of a laser; in a DAT player, it is read by means of a rotary tape head. Because digital recording uses numerical data instead of physical ...

Abstract
This paper examines how the evolution of popular music over the last century has undoubtedly been heavily influenced by the constant development in recording technologies. It looks at how the huge variety of options available to producers and engineers nowadays are almost boundless and how virtually any radical new idea conjured up in the studio can be implemented in one of several ways. It shows how the changing way in which music is produced can be analysed by looking at several contrasting recordings, produced at suitable milestones in record production history.
From the Paper
"The audio quality of the record is somewhat poorer than more modern reel-to-reel tape recordings. This is primarily due to the non-existence of any noise reduction technology, but also because of the lack of attention paid to the rest of the signal chain, other than the microphones and the tape machine itself. The high proportion of background electrical noise and hiss was mostly created (and then further amplified at the output) in unbalanced, un-screened cabling runs, and poorly earthed equipment. More modern tape machines like those used at Electric Lady Studios by Stevie Wonder, would have been properly biased to balance unwanted distortion and noise, with high frequency fidelity."

Recording: "Consort Music for Viols", 2008.
Reviews the CD recording "Consort Music for Viols in Six Parts" based on consort music by John Jenkins from the 15th century, performed by Hesperion XX.

Abstract
This paper explains that John Jenkins" Consort Music for Viols in Six Parts", performed by Hesperion XX, was composed for a small six part ensemble of instruments in the viol family. The author points out that Hersperion XX, an early music ensemble group formed in 1974 in Switzerland, was directed by Jordi Savall, a famous conductor and viol player. The paper relates that the composer John Jenkins (1592-1678), lived his life in England, is most well known for his consort music for viols. The paper concludes that, since this recording sounds like a piece that would be composed in the 21st century, the author believes that it is not very authentic.
From the Paper
"One of the recurring themes throughout the recording is the presence of the bass and contrabass. These instruments are very prominent and can be easily heard throughout the recording because they are given distinct parts that allow the listener to discern their presence very well. Also, the tempo of the recordings seems to be very slow and methodical. This methodical tempo is made especially clear through the presence of the bass and contrabass. These instruments make the music's tempo feel like a man wading through a very thick mud bog."

From Grove Music Online it states that, "One of the most important forms of polyphonic music from about 1220 to 1750. No single set of characteristics serves to define it generally, except in particular historical or regional contexts. It originated as a liturgical trope but soon developed into the pre-eminent form of secular art music during the late Middle Ages."

Abstract
This paper discusses the global music recording industry (MRI). According to the paper, the industry is massive and deeply entrenched, making it one of the most culturally powerful but fractured industries in existence. The MRI, while being concentrated around just a few large entertainment conglomerates, is fractured in the sense that it is currently undergoing a sea change that has yet to fully play out. Globally the MRI is worth in excess of $40 billion annually and the United States' (US) percentage of this revenue stream is approximately 13-14% (Research pars.1-3). The paper further discusses how the various constituents of this industry include singers, musicians, producers, sound engineers, promoters, retail operators, advertisers, and a host of others.

"In Rijnberk and de Vries' Medical History and Physical Examination in Companion Animals, there is a limited section specifically on veterinary medical record writing which describes the function of veterinary medical records, how to determine the content of veterinary medical records, and how to write clear, complete, and accessible veterinary medical record entries. The most beneficial aspect of this text, however, is the information presented in subsequent chapters, which describes physical examinations of companion animals. Listed under sections called "notable findings," the authors have described how to perform physical exams on numerous animals for various medical complaints. Then the authors describe, in terms of appropriate tone, style, and terminology, what types of entries should be made in the veterinary medical record for that particular type of examination."

Abstract
The Latin American recording industry has always been a unique industry that blends economics, entertainment, and culture. The majority of its entertainers depict the variety of ethnicity that is part of Latin American culture. This paper investigates the Latin American recording industry, the genres of music and hybrid styles, and the role label companies play in producing and managing the artists. It also looks at how music interacts culturally, politically, and economically, affecting social identity Research in this paper shows that there is a complex relationship between the industry itself and the development of pan-Latin identities, as well as a more intricate relationship between economics and culture. In addition, the research demonstrates that the Latin American recording industry is a powerful medium for creating images among consumers, which impacts the desire to be like their idol. Finally, this paper summarizes the potential changes created by a new business model for the Latin American recording industry.
From the Paper
"Aside from the confusion between Latin American and Latino music, the U.S. Latino market is undergoing a crucial transformation, perhaps more in taking stock of reality than in reality itself. It is no secret that U.S.Latino music has largely meant the kind of pop associated with Jennifer Lopez, Marc Anthony, Ricky Martin and the like, or with so-called tropical music (salsa and kindred genres). New York and Miami are the capitals of this kind of pop and tropical, but when the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) ?the music industry's trade organization ? began dividing Latin music sales by genre in 2000, they discovered the overwhelming sales dominance of the Mexican regional market, which is based in California and the Southwest, particularly Texas, and generates 60 percent of the US$640 million market for Latin music sales."

From the Paper
"The Blues were primarily a voice music. Even when brass was added, the "breaks" were still sung in the primitive call response form of the blues. A further development of the blues was what has been termed Negro Theatre -- vaudeville, black shows and traveling road shows. This was the start of classic blues which contained all the elements of Negro music plus the smoother emotional appeal of the performance. Classic blues attempted a universality that earlier blues forms could not envision. Singers like Ma Rainey and Bessie Smith were responsible for the creation of this style of blues. It was this same style that brought blues into general notice by being the first form of blues recorded.
The new black market emerged in 1920. A few items by black performers had been issued in the early years of the recording ... "

Abstract
In this article, the writer notes that advances in computer technology and the development of the Internet have enabled the healthcare community to maintain medical records electronically, which has been beneficial for patients and healthcare providers alike. The writer points out that there is also a downside to this system of electronic record keeping, for it also renders the private medical records of patients vulnerable to unauthorized access. The writer notes that the healthcare community has a professional and ethical responsibility to formulate and implement appropriate policies to deal with such risks. The writer discusses that the emergence of electronic medical records systems presents security challenges, for such records are far more vulnerable to unauthorized access by third parties than paper records kept in a doctor's office, a nursing station, or a clinic. The writer maintains that protecting the privacy of patients is essential, not only because of the vital importance of ethical medical treatment, but because of emerging confidentiality issues related to electronic medical records.

From the Paper
"The literature review clarifies that the healthcare community has a professional and ethical responsibility to formulate and implement appropriate policies to deal with the risks to confidentiality imposed by electronic medical record keeping. It is evident that the development and expansion of electronic medical records systems presents a wide range of security, ethics, and medical research interest challenges.
"The fundamental issue underlying all other issues is the fact that electronic medical records are far more vulnerable to unauthorized access by third parties than paper medical records were. Protecting the privacy of patients has always been essential because of the vital importance of providing ethical and confidential medical treatment, but it has also been essential to conduct medical research, which requires access to healthcare data on a general and individual patient basis. Consequently, everyone involved in this debate and affected by it must understand the implications of restricting electronic access to medical records."
