That’s not quite true, but now that we’ve finished bloom and the fruit has set, we have a good sense that that the 2016 vintage will be on the small side.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Redirected from Occasional Notes of the Royal Astronomical Society) Astronomy & Geophysics (A&G) is a scientific journal and trade magazine published on behalf of the Royal Astronomical Society (RAS) by Oxford University Press.

Astronomy & Geophysics (A&G) is a scientific journal and trade magazine published on behalf of the Royal Astronomical Society (RAS) by Oxford University Press. It publishes a mixture of content of interest to astronomers and geophysicists: news reports, interviews, topical reviews, historical investigations, obituaries, meeting reports and updates on the activities of the RAS. Full-length articles are peer reviewed.

A&G was formed in 1997 as a 'glossy' replacement for the Quarterly Journal of the Royal Astronomical Society (QJRAS; 1960–1996); it continues the same volume numbering from QJRAS. Since its inception and as of 2018 the editor is Sue Bowler of the University of Leeds.

Scope[edit]

The journal covers astronomy, astrophysics, cosmology, planetary science, solar-terrestrial physics, global and regional geophysics, and the history of these subjects. It also publishes thematic articles regarding interdisciplinary research, science policy, news, opinions, correspondence, and book and software reviews. Royal Astronomical Society communications about events and people and obituaries are also within this journal's purview.^[2][3][4][5]

Furthermore, in keeping with the tradition of the Quarterly Journal of the Royal Astronomical Society, it publishes discussions of fundamental science and scientific debates. The journal also functions as a channel of communication between the membership, the Council, and the Society's Officers.^[2][3][4]

Contributions to Astronomy & Geophysics are not restricted to RAS members.^[2][3][4]

Abstracting and indexing[edit]

The journal is abstracted and indexed in:^[6]

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Astronomical Society[edit]

The Quarterly Journal of the Royal Astronomical Society (Q. J. R. Astron. Soc, ISSN0035-8738) was published by the Royal Astronomical Society from September 1960 to December 1996, and was produced by Blackwell Science in its later period. During that time 37 volumes were issued. The journal included articles reviewing modern astronomy or geophysics, discussions about research topics, meeting reports, contributions about the history of science, and reports of astronomical research groups and institutes. It gave less emphasis to detailed scientific research papers, which instead were published in the society's Monthly Notices. (ISSN0308-3322).^[8][9][10]

Before 1960 the Royal Astronomical Society had published proceedings of its activities in its Monthly Notices alongside research papers, and published research reviews in its Occasional Notes. The Quarterly Journal was established in 1960 to free the Monthly Notices to concentrate on original research, and the Occasional Notes were discontinued.

Program Note

From the original pre-performance comments sketched out by the composer on 19 March 1987:

'It's wonderful to return to Milwaukee, especially under these circumstances, conducting my music with such excellent players. A word or two would be appropriate before we perform Occasional Notes for you: They are exquisite miniatures, each movement a musical portrait of the composer to whom it is dedicated, capturing the gestalt of his personality as it has interacted with mine.

Since leaving Milwaukee I've had the pleasure to [sic] study with quite a number of fascinating men, and I am happy to say that the teacher / pupil relationship modulated into a friendship in each case.

How to capture the ineffable feelings you have for people you care about? Each movement captures, in miniature, the gestalt of the relationship, while also creating a musical portrait of the person to whom it is dedicated. Lately I have been fascinated with the fact that, for example, one need not be overtly SERIOUS to be serious--. Just as it is hard to be simple, so is it hard to set the correct tone in just two minutes when you could spend ten. How many times, during an extended minimalist work, have I concluded that the same thing could have been said in fewer notes, less time?'

Kevin Stalheim, artistic director and founder of Present Music, commissioned the work from Hagen. The ensemble has also commissioned and premiered several other works by Hagen over the years, including An Overture to Vera and Flight Music.
