Lutheran Worship
''Lutheran Worship'' (''LW'') is one of the official hymnals of The Lutheran Church–Missouri Synod (LCMS). Published in 1982 by Concordia Publishing House in St. Louis, Missouri, it is the denomination's third English-language hymnal and was intended to replace ''The Lutheran Hymnal'' (''TLH''). Additional hymns and service music are contained in the companion, ''Hymnal Supplement 98''. Dissatisfaction with various revisions has led numerous congregations to continue using the previous hymnal, and according to a 1999 LCMS Commission on Worship survey, ''The Lutheran Hymnal'' was still used by 36% of churches in the Synod as their primary hymnal. The publication of another new hymnal, ''Lutheran Service Book'' in 2006, has restored many of the former hymnal's features in the hope that more widespread use can be achieved. A supplement, ''With One Voice'' (''WOV''), contains additional hymns and service music. History ''Lutheran Worship'' is, essentially, a revision of the ...

Giclée
Giclée ( ) is a neologism, ultimately derived from the French language, French word ''gicleur,'' coined in 1991 by printmaker Jack Duganne for fine art digital prints made using inkjet printers. The name was originally applied to fine art prints created on a modified Iris printer in a process invented in the late 1980s. It has since been used widely to mean any fine-art printing, usually archival, printed by inkjet. It is often used by artists, galleries, and print shops for their high quality printing, but is also used generically for art printing of any quality. Origins The word ''giclée'' was adopted by Jack Duganne around 1990. He was a printmaker working at Nash Editions. He wanted a name for the new type of prints they were producing on a modified Iris printer, a large-format, high-resolution industrial prepress proofing inkjet printer on which the paper receiving the ink is attached to a rotating drum. The printer was adapted for fine-art printing. Duganne wanted a ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

ASCAP
The American Society of Composers, Authors, and Publishers (ASCAP) () is an American not-for-profit performance-rights organization (PRO) that collectively licenses the public performance rights of its members' musical works to venues, broadcasters, and digital streaming services (music stores). ASCAP collects licensing fees from users of music created by ASCAP members, then distributes them back to its members as royalties. In effect, the arrangement is the product of a compromise: when a song is played, the user does not have to pay the copyright holder directly, nor does the music creator have to bill a radio station for use of a song. In 2021, ASCAP collected over US$1.335 billion in revenue and distributed $1.254 billion in royalties to its members. ASCAP membership included over 850,000 songwriters, composers and music publishers, with over 16 million registered works. History ASCAP was founded by Victor Herbert, together with composers George Botsford, Silvio Hein, ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
