Video profiles UD organist 7:30 p.m., Nov. 1, 2004--The contributions of David Herman, Trustees Distinguished Professor of Music, are celebrated in a new installment of UDs Windows on The Green video profiles series, posted at [www.udel.edu/PR/windows/]. The video profiles Hermans teaching, showcases the Edward and Naomi Jefferson Music Gallery and Pipe Organ on campus and focuses on a new minor at the university--church music. He joins four other named professors profiled thus far in The Windows on The Green series, which presents video snapshots on this elite group of faculty members who enrich the intellectual life of the University. Additional profiles are being prepared for the series by the Office of Public Relations and Information Technologies-University Media Services. Herman has performed on many major instruments, both organs and carillons, in North America, Britain and Germany. He is the author of The Life and Work of Jan Bender (Chantry Music Press, 1979), and his choral and organ works are included in the catalogs of five publishers. His CD, Music by Samuel Wesley, is part of Redcliffes British Musical Heritage series. The Windows on The Green series was initiated to mark the endowment of UDs 100th named professorship earlier this year. An endowed chair is one of the highest honors a faculty member can receive and one of the most important gifts a donor can make to the University. To learn how to subscribe to UDaily, click here. |
