Description
Acceptance of the plant group Martyniaceae as a distinct family has long been questioned. Previously placed in the family Pedaliaceae, the Martyniaceae have been allied to numerous other families within the order Lamiales. The objectives of this study include the investigation of the placement of the Martyniaceae within the order Lamiales using molecular data (chloroplast DNA sequences), the further examination of the internal relationships of the Martyniaceae using an expanded nuclear and chloroplast sequences data set, and the construction of a taxonomic treatment of the family that includes all published names and taxa in the Martyniaceae. An analysis of the Lamiales using two chloroplast gene regions (ndhF and rps16) reveals that the Martyniaceae should be segregated from the family Pedaliaceae, but is not able to support the placement of any of its putatively-related families as sister to the Martyniaceae. Sequences from 151 taxa of the Lamiales are included in the analysis, including six representatives from the Martyniaceae. An analysis of the Martyniaceae using three chloroplast gene regions (psbA-trnH spacer, trnQ-5'rps16 intergenic spacer, and trnS-trnG-trnG spacer and intron) and the Internal Transcribed Spacer resolves two major clades within the Martyniaceae corresponding to the North American taxa (Martynia and Proboscidea) and the South American taxa (Craniolaria, Holoregmia, and Ibicella). Sequences from all five genera and 15 taxa were included in the analysis. Results from the molecular phylogenetic analyses are incorporated into a revised taxonomic treatment of the family. Five genera and thirteen species are recognized for the family Martyniaceae.

Description
ABSTRACT Many musicians, both amateur and professional alike, are continuously seeking to expand and explore their performance literature and repertory. Introducing new works into the standard repertory is an exciting endeavor for any active musician. Establishing connections, commissioning new works, and collaborating on performances can all work together toward the acceptance and success of a composer's music within an instrument community. For the flute, one such composer is Daniel Dorff (b. 1956). Dorff, a Philadelphia-based composer, has written for symphony orchestra, clarinet, contrabassoon, and others; however, his award-winning works for flute and piccolo are earning him much recognition. He has written works for such illustrious flutists as Mimi Stillman, Walfrid Kujala, and Gary Schocker; his flute works have been recorded by Laurel Zucker, Pamela Youngblood and Lois Bliss Herbine; and his pieces have been performed and premiered at each of the National Flute Association Conventions from 2004 to 2009. Despite this success, little has been written about Dorff's life, compositional style, and contributions to the flute repertory. In order to further promote the flute works of Daniel Dorff, the primary focus of this study is the creation of a compact disc recording of Dorff's most prominent works for flute: April Whirlwind, 9 Walks Down 7th Avenue, both for flute and piano, and Nocturne Caprice for solo flute. In support of this recording, the study also provides biographical information regarding Daniel Dorff, discusses his compositional methods and ideology, and presents background information, description, and performance notes for each piece. Interviews with Daniel Dorff regarding biographical and compositional details serve as the primary source for this document. Suggestions for the performance of the three flute works were gathered through interviews with prominent flutists who have studied and performed Dorff's pieces. Additional performance suggestions for Nocturne Caprice were gathered through a coaching session between the author and the composer. This project is meant to promote the flute works of Daniel Dorff and to help establish their role in the standard flute repertory.
