For those of you who have been tested by Family Tree DNA, FTDNA has released a new version of your personal page, also called myFTDNA user interface. According to FTDNA:
This upgrade of the myFTDNA user interface represents a major redesign in layout, better organization, and additional functionality. All the features to which you are accustomed still exist. They are just in slightly different locations. We have also added many features that our customers have frequently requested.
There is an interactive tour accessible on your personal page that will guide you through the changes, but I will highlight some major changes here for you.
Administrators are no longer allowed to update your email address. You must now do that yourself. If you need help, you can call FTDNA at 713-868-1438. If you change your email address and do not update your personal page, you will not receive notices of new matches from FTDNA.
You may upload a picture of yourself on your personal page and enter a brief personal biography, both of which will only be viewable by participants who match your DNA. Looks like FTDNA is embracing social networking!
You may designate a beneficiary who will have control over your DNA results after your death. If you do not designate a beneficiary, your DNA results cannot be upgraded after your death which negates one of the primary reasons for storing your samples.
FTDNA is transitioning to a combined GEDCOM system. At the end of 2012, all paternal and maternal GEDCOM files that have been uploaded will be purged from FTDNA’s records, so you must upload a new combined GEDCOM if you wish to have your GEDCOM on file at FTDNA.
Your matches now include people who have elected to keep their results private. Unfortunately, there is no easy way to contact these people because their contact information is hidden. If you want to try to contact them, you can send an email to helpdesk@ftdna.com">helpdesk@ftdna.com or call FTDNA at 713-868-1438.
There is now an Advanced Matching page that allows you to see information about all of your matches at one time on one page. This includes Y-DNA results, MT-DNA results, and Family Finder results.
There are some new mapping features. For these to be of value, everyone must enter his or her information. Go to your myFTDNA web page and click on Most Distant Ancestors under My Account. Under Ancestral Locations, enter the latitude and longitude of the place of birth or death of your earliest known paternal and maternal ancestors. There is a search machine that will help you identify the latitude and longitude using place name.
Another change we will be seeing is the reporting of micro alleles. If you have looked at results from other companies, you may have already seen this. Some alleles are reported with a decimal point. You might see a value of 15.2 instead of a value of 15 for a certain marker. This will not require additional testing as FTDNA has known your micro allele values all along, if indeed you have any. Most people don’t.
FTDNA will be adopting the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) method of reporting results. Many companies have already done this. Doing so will make it easier for us to compare our results to those of these other companies. In the past, when FTDNA has adopted a new way of reporting a marker, they have adjusted the values in all of their databases. You won't have to do anything.
If you have problems using your new personal page, please don’t hesitate to contact us, your volunteer administrators, and we will try to help you, although we are also struggling to get a handle on all these new changes.
Peter Philips (1560-1628)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Philips
Picture from http://www.last.fm/music/Peter+Philips/+images
Peter Philips (also Phillipps, Phillips, Pierre Philippe, Pietro Philippi, Petrus Philippus, c. 1560–1628) was an eminent English composer, organist, and Catholic priest exiled to Flanders. He was one of the greatest keyboard virtuosos of his time, and transcribed or arranged several Italian motets and madrigals by such as Lassus, Palestrina, and Giulio Caccini for his instruments. Some of his keyboard works are found in the Fitzwilliam Virginal Book. Philips also wrote many sacred choral works.
Philips was born in 1560 or 1561, possibly in Devonshire or London. From 1572 to 1578 he began his career as a boy chorister at St Paul's Cathedral in London, under the aegis of the Catholic master of choristers, Sebastian Westcote (d. 1582), who had also trained the young William Byrd some twenty years earlier. Philips must have had a close relationship with his master, as he lodged in his house up to the time of Westcote's death, and was a beneficiary of his Will.
In this same year of 1582 Philips left England for good, like so many others for reasons of his Catholicism, and stayed briefly in Flanders before travelling to Rome where he entered the service of Alessandro Farnese (1520–1589), with whom he stayed for three years, and was also engaged as organist at the English Jesuit College. It was here that in February 1585 he met a fellow Catholic exile, Thomas, third Baron Paget (c.1544-1590). Philips entered Paget's service as a musician, and the two left Rome in March 1585, travelling over several years to Genoa, Madrid, Paris, Brussels and finally Antwerp, where Paget died in 1590.
Philips settled in Antwerp, where he married, gaining a precarious living by teaching the virginals to children. In 1593 he went to Amsterdam "to sie and heare an excellent man of his faculties", doubtless Jan Pieterszoon Sweelinck whose reputation had by then long been made. On his way back, Philips was denounced by a compatriot for complicity in a plot on Queen Elizabeth's life, and he was temporarily imprisoned at the Hague, where he probably composed the pavan and galliard Doloroso (Fitzwilliam Virginal Book nos. LXXX and LXXXI). Philips himself translated the accusations made against him during his trial, revealing that he could by then speak Dutch. He was acquitted and released without further charges.
Philips' fortunes took a turn for the better on his return, and in 1597 he was employed in Brussels as organist to the chapel of Albert VII, Archduke of Austria who had been appointed governor of the Low Countries in 1595. Here, after his wife – and child's – deaths, he was ordained a priest in either 1601 or 1609 – opinions differ; in any case, he received a canonry at Soignies in 1610, and another at Béthune in 1622 or 1623. In his position at court, Philips was able to meet the best musicians of the time, including Girolamo Frescobaldi, who visited the Low Countries in 1607-1608, and his fellow-countryman John Bull, who had fled England on a charge of adultery. His nearest colleague however was Peeter Cornet (c. 1575-1633), organist to Archduchess Isabella, wife of Philips' employer the archduke. Philips died in 1628, probably in Brussels, where he was buried.
Philips was an extremely prolific composer: his surviving motets number in the hundreds, and he also composed both instrumental and consort music. His keyboard pieces are mostly in the tradition of the English virginalist school, but his choral works, although retaining occasional English characteristics, are largely in the style of more conservative Italian contemporary composers such as Giovanni Croce.
§ Works in the Fitzwilliam Virginal Book:
The earliest surviving piece we know to be by Philips is a pavan dated 1580 in the Fitzwilliam Virginal Book (no. LXXXV). It bears the note: The first one Phi[lips] made, and was the subject of a magnificent set of variations by Jan Pieterszoon Sweelinck entitled Pavana Philippi, and others by Thomas Morley and John Dowland. Of Philip's 27 known (excluding doubtful works) keyboard pieces – pavans, galliards, fantasias and settings of Italian masters – no less than nineteen are included in the same collection. The probable compiler of the Fitzwilliam Virginal Book, Francis Tregian the Younger, a fellow Catholic, was almost certainly acquainted with Philips: both men were at the court of Brussels in 1603, and Tregian may well have been responsible for importing Philips' works to England. The pavan Doloroso (no. LXXX) appears to be dedicated to Tregian, bearing the title Pauana Doloroso. Treg[ian], and there is also a Pavana Pagget with its galliard, dated 1590 and no doubt written on the death of his patron, Lord Thomas Paget. Many of the pieces are settings of Italian composers, and in some Philips' name is spelled the Flemish way: Peeter suggesting that the scribe – possibly Tregian himself – was copying from continental manuscripts.
§ Other works:
1591: Philips' publisher in Antwerp, Pierre Phalèse the Younger (1550–1629), printed his collection of madrigals entitled Melodia Olympica, followed by further editions in 1594 and 1611.
1596: Philips published his Primo Libro de Madrigali a sei voci, a book of madrigals for six voices.
1598: A further book of madrigals for eight voices published.
1603: Another set of madrigals for six voices published.
1612: The first set of Cantiones Sacrae for five voices printed by Phalèse.
1613: A second set of Cantiones Sacrae Octonis Vocibus for double chorus of eight voices.
1613: Gemmulae Sacrae Binis et Ternis Vocibus cum Basso Continuo Organum.
1615: 3 Trios (without instrumentation) in L'Institution Harmonique by Salomon De Caus, Frankfurt 1616: Les Rossignols spirituels published, two and four-part arrangements of popular songs adapted to sacred texts in Latin and French.
1616: Deliciae sacrae binis et ternis vocibus cum basso continuo organum.
1623: Litanies to Loreto.
1628: Paradisus sacris cantionibus consitus, una, duabus et tribus vocibus decantantis.
Postscript: If anyone is interested in listening to Peter’s compositions, there are several pieces written by him on You Tube. Here are some links to his music:
