As the pandemic continued month after month and the isolation became unbearable but still necessary, I found that I no longer gained enough intellectual satisfaction from creating classical music compositions (my forte), especially since my newest works probably would not be performed until Covid-19 was conquered. So instead I wrote and gathered together diary-like essays, literary critiques, philosophical musings, poetry, short stories, and narratives from contemporary experience as well as from deep in memory. I had written them each month to send to friends, with no thought of continuity—they would range where ever my mind and imagination wanted to go. I preferred to stay away from discussions about the coronavirus of which I knew little, the care givers who appeared to be so heroic, or the victims of the disease who were even more confined than I was and whose desperate circumstances were so frightening. Nor was I thinking of it as being a diary—my hermetic life was not interesting enough for that type of documentation. No, my writings were meant to be a diversion, to take one away from the horrific plague that in 2020-22 ingulfed us. I must confess that I have made no attempt to stick with subjects that I think would interest a general public. I am not even sure I would know what these would be. So, my suggestion is to only read those entries which excite your own imagination or generate some curiosity. About the Author Geoffrey D. Gibbs, Professor Emeritus of Music Composition at the University of Rhode Island, received a DMA degree in composition and voice from the Eastman School of Music (University of Rochester, NY) in 1974. Born in 1940, Dr. Gibbs began his music training at age seven and was soon composing his own pieces. In high school he studied composition privately with Elie Siegmeister noted for championing American folk music. At Eastman he studied composition with Howard Hanson and Bernard Rogers. He began teaching composition and related subjects at URI in 1965 and has remained in Rhode Island since that time. He retired from URI in 2001 to devote all of his energies to creative projects. His interest in literature blossomed when he typed, edited, and annotated a thousand of his father’s poems and many essays. During his years of retirement three operas of his were premiered. His works were performed in Boston, Providence, Dartmouth College, the University of Rhode Island, Vibe of the Venue, Aurea Ensemble, Verdant Vibes Ensemble and the Fall River Symphony. As well he has had works performed at the Kennedy Center (Washington, DC) and as far away as Russia and South America. As mentioned above, it was during the last two years when it was difficult to present concerts, that Geoffrey Gibbs devoted much of his time to creating his pandemic journal.

Title What would you title this item? Gilded Imagination Description What is it all about? "Gilded Imagination" is about one of my favorite architects, Stanford White (a terribly flawed human being but a genius nevertheless). Few artists have had as great an impact on RI as White who designed countless gorgeous buildings throughout the state during the golden age (the turn of the 20th century). My house painter grandfather may have known Stanford White when he was working on some of the great mansions of the period. By today's standards the color schemes and decoration of that time would seem rather gloomy (muted and dark—perfect as a background for all the gold, silver, and silk on display). Each of my issues deals with some aesthetic that interests me and Rhode Island is a perfect place for artistic exploration. Creator Who created this item?

Welcome to the DLS COVID-19 time capsule archive where you can take a journey back in time to the year 2020 when everyone’s lives were turned upside down by the COVID-19 pandemic. Learn about how De La Salle 6th and 8th grade students adapted to quarantine and distance learning. As part of their social studies classes, students were asked to share what they did while stuck at home including taking classes via Zoom (a video conferencing program), pursuing new and old hobbies, staying connected with friends, and spending WAY more time with their families than ever before. They were able to share these videos and slideshows with their classmates and hope that sometime in the future these projects will help students just like them learn about the unusual spring of 2020.

Giada Cambio and Lilly Richardson Language A language of the resource English Description What is it all about? This slideshow was created for a social studies assignment given to help the De La Salle 8th grade students reflect on the unusual and historic situation brought about by the COVID 19 pandemic. One goal of the project was to give the students a way to share their experiences during quarantine and distance learning with their classmates even though they could not be together in person to wrap up their time in middle school. Another goal was to connect to what students had learned earlier in the year while completing their research for National History Day about primary sources and how they can give one a much more personal understanding of historic events.

As the days go on there's not much to do, We try to pass time playing board games like clue, The air outside has become filled with despair, But we are coming together and treating others with care. It is a struggle keeping focus on distance learning, The school I dreaded is now the place I’m yearning, It is hard to manage school and home life, I hate the coronavirus and how it has spread so rife. We give thanks to medical workers, doctors, and nurses, They have stayed in the fight as the pandemic worsens, We also shout out the essential workers like cashiers, They have shown us perseverance and having no fears. There is hope in the future that it will end, But all we can do is hope COVID-19 won’t be a trend, When this is over I hope humanity will be closer, We will be united standing shoulder by shoulder.
