Constitutional dialogue : rights, democracy, institutions
\"The metaphor of 'dialogue' has been put to different descriptive and evaluative uses by constitutional and political theorists studying interactions between institutions concerning rights. It has also featured prominently in the opinions of courts and the rhetoric and deliberations of legislators. This volume brings together many of the world's leading constitutional and political theorists to debate the nature and merits of constitutional dialogues between the judicial, legislative, and executive branches. Constitutional Dialogue explores dialogue's democratic significance, examines its relevance to the functioning and design of constitutional institutions, and explores constitutional dialogues from an international and transnational perspective\"-- Provided by publisher.

Buxtehude's Praeludia and the sonata publications of Corelli
In identifying the external musical influences on Buxtehude's preludes and toccatas scholars have rightly focused on the keyboard music of Frescobaldi and his German imitators. The increasing importance of Italian string writing in the second half of the 17th century has not been seen as relevant to Buxtehude but rather to subsequent generations of German organists. This article argues that the first glimpses of the Italian string style in north German organ music can be seen in Buxtehude's organ works, and that these probably stem from the sonata publications of the most influential string writer of the period, Arcangelo Corelli, whose music appears to have circulated both widely and rapidly after publication. Aspects of the Corellian style are not fully integrated into Buxtehude's music, as in the later case of Vivaldi and Bach, but appear as isolated outcrops. The evidence enhances our view of Buxtehude as seeking to keep abreast of the latest Italian styles right through to the end of his life, when his pupils included the young J. S. Bach. The identifications have implications for the vexed question of the dating of Buxtehude's organ works, and for issues relating to keys and performance practice.

Modes and tones in Buxtehude's organ works
Passacaglia, as can be heard from the very opening phrase with its sighing rests, suspensions and chromatic colouring. Webber seeks to consider further the implications of viewing Dieterich Buxtehude's organ music from the perspective of modal theory, particularly with regard to the church tones.
