    1 WATERTOWN DAILY TIMES December 31, 2018 MONDAY Section Four End of some eras, start of others marked 2018 By the Daily Times staff In 2018, some storied eras came to a close while others were just beginning. For the Green Bay Packers, a second straight season miss- ing the playoffs cost longtime head coach Mike McCarthy his job. His tenure will be best re- membered for the team’s fourth Super Bowl championship won in 2010. The downward slide could be attributed to injuries, underperforming draft picks over a long period of time or coaching, or all of them. Re- gardless, back-to-back seasons of missing the playoffs with one of the best quarterbacks in the game in Aaron Rodgers was unacceptable in Titletown. The Badgers took a step back both on the men’s basketball court and the gridiron. Wiscon- sin’s football team is used to playing in January bowl games and finished last season last year with a late December bowl game. The same was true this year. For anyone who remem- bers Badger football before Barry Alvarez arrived in 1993, these are still the good days with a high bar. The men’s basketball team enjoyed a run similar to the football team but finally saw its run of NCAA Tournament appearances come to a close in DAILY TIMES 2018.

  • 1St Connection Between Baseball and Opera
    Baseball & Opera (compiled by Mark Schubin, this version posted 2014 April 14) 1849 : 1 st connection between baseball and opera: Fans of American actor Edwin Forrest, who is playing Macbeth in New York, hire thugs from among ballplayers at Elysian Fields in Hoboken, New Jersey (1 st famous ball field) to disrupt performances of British actor William Macready, also playing Macbeth in New York at what had been Astor Opera House. Deadly riot ensues; Macready is rescued by ex-Astor Opera House impresario Edward Fry, who later (1880) invents electronic home entertainment (and probably headphones) by listening to live opera by phone. 1852: Opera-house exclusivity dispute with composer’s niece Johanna Wagner forms legal basis of baseball’s reserve clause. 1870 : Tony Pastor’s Opera House baseball team is covered by The New York Times (they won). 1875 : San Francisco Chronicle reports on that city’s opera-house baseball team. 1879 : Pirate King role created for Signor Brocolini, who, as John Clark, played first base for the Detroit Base Ball Club. 1881 : Dartmouth College opera group performs to raise money for college’s baseball team. 1884 : Three telegraph operators, James U. Rust, E. W. Morgan, and A. H. Stewart, present live games remotely. One sends plays from ballpark, second receives and announces, third moves cards with players’ names around backdrop. Starting in Nashville’s 900-seat Masonic Theater, they soon move to 2,500-seat Grand Opera House, beginning half-century of remote baseball game viewing at opera houses (also Augusta, GA Grand Opera House starting 1885). 1885 : The Black Hussar is probably 1 st opera with baseball mentioned in its libretto (in “Read the answer in the stars”).

  • The Great Ideas Online
    THE GREAT IDEAS ONLINE Aug ‘07 No 434 Dana Gioia, chairman of the National Endowment for the Arts delivered the Stanford University Commencement address June 17, 2007. ‘TRADE EASY PLEASURES FOR MORE COMPLEX AND CHALLENGING ONES’ Good morning. Thank you, President Hennessy. t is a great honor to be asked to give the Commencement address I at my alma mater. Although I have two degrees from Stanford, I still feel a bit like an interloper on this exquisitely beautiful cam- pus. A person never really escapes his or her childhood. At heart I’m still a working-class kid—half Italian, half Mexican— from L.A., or more precisely from Hawthorne, a city that most of this audience knows only as the setting of Quentin Tarantino’s 2 Pulp Fiction and Jackie Brown—two films that capture the ineffa- ble charm of my hometown. Today is Father’s Day, so I hope you will indulge me for begin- ning on a personal note. I am the first person in my family ever to attend college, and I owe my education to my father, who sacri- ficed nearly everything to give his four children the best education possible. My dad had a fairly hard life. He never spoke English until he went to school. He barely survived a plane crash in World War II. He worked hard, but never had much success, except with his family. When I was about 12, my dad told me that he hoped I would go to Stanford, a place I had never heard of. For him, Stanford repre- sented every success he had missed yet wanted for his children.

  • The Secularization of the Repertoire of the Mormon Tabernacle Choir, 1949-1992
    THE SECULARIZATION OF THE REPERTOIRE OF THE MORMON TABERNACLE CHOIR, 1949-1992 Mark David Porcaro A dissertation submitted to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of Music (Musicology) Chapel Hill 2006 Approved by Advisor: Thomas Warburton Reader: Severine Neff Reader: Philip Vandermeer Reader: Laurie Maffly-Kipp Reader: Jocelyn Neal © 2006 Mark David Porcaro ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT MARK PORCARO: The Secularization of the Repertoire of the Mormon Tabernacle Choir, 1949-1992 (Under the direction of Thomas Warburton) In 1997 in the New Yorker, Sidney Harris published a cartoon depicting the “Ethel Mormon Tabernacle Choir” singing “There’s NO business like SHOW business...” Besides the obvious play on the names of Ethel Merman and the Mormon Tabernacle Choir, the cartoon, in an odd way, is a true-to-life commentary on the image of the Salt Lake Mormon Tabernacle Choir (MTC) in the mid-1990s; at this time the Choir was seen as an entertainment ensemble, not just a church choir. This leads us to the central question of this dissertation, what changes took place in the latter part of the twentieth century to secularize the repertoire of the primary choir for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS)? In the 1860s, when the MTC began, its sole purpose was to perform for various church meetings, in particular for General Conference of the LDS church which was held in the Tabernacle at Temple Square in Salt Lake City. From the beginning of the twentieth century and escalating during the late 1950s to the early 1960s, the Choir’s role changed from an in-house choir for the LDS church to a choir that also fulfilled a cultural and entertainment function, not only for the LDS church but also for the American public at large.
