The venture was so successful that the promoters incorporated the Berkshire Symphonic Festival and repeated the experiment during the next summer. The Festival Committee then invited Serge Koussevitzky and the Boston Symphony Orchestra to take part in the following year's concerts. The orchestra's Trustees accepted, and on 13 August 1936 the Boston Symphony gave its first concerts in the Berkshires (at Holmwood, a former Vanderbilt estate, later the Center at Foxhollow). The series again consisted of three concerts and was given under a large tent, drawing a total of nearly 15,000 people. In the winter of 1936, Mrs. Gorham Brooks and Miss Mary Aspinwall Tappan offered Tanglewood, the Tappan family estate, with its buildings and 210 acres of lawns and meadows, as a gift to Koussevitzky and the orchestra. The offer was gratefully accepted, and on 5 August 1937 the festival's largest crowd so far assembled under a tent for the first Tanglewood concert, an all -Beethoven program. At the all- Wagner concert which opened the 1937 festival's second weekend, rain and thunder twice interrupted the performance of the Rienzi Overture and necessitated the omission altogether of the Siegfried "Forest Murmurs," music too delicate to be heard through the downpour. At the intermission, Miss Gertrude Robinson Smith, one of the festival's founders, made a fundraising appeal for the building of a permanent structure. The appeal was broadened by means of a printed circular handed out at the two remaining concerts, and within a short time enough money had been raised to begin active planning for a "music pavilion." Eliel Saarinen, the eminent architect selected by Koussevitzky, proposed an elaborate design that went far beyond the immediate needs of the festival and, more important, went well beyond the budget of $100,000. His second, simplified plans were still too expensive, and he finally wrote that if the trustees insisted on remaining within their budget, they would have "just a shed," which "any builder could accomplish without the aid of an architect." The trustees then turned to a Stockbridge engineer, Joseph Franz, to make further simplifications in Saarinen's plans in order to lower the cost. The building that he erected remains, with modifications, to this day; it is still called simply "the Shed." The Shed was inaugurated for the first concert of the 1938 festival. It has echoed with the music of the Boston Symphony Orchestra every summer since, except for the war years 1942-45, and has become almost a place of pilgrimage to millions of concertgoers. By 1941, the Theatre-Concert Hall, the Chamber Music Hall, and several small studios — all part of the Berkshire Music Center, which had begun operations the preceding year — were finished, and the festival had so expanded its activities and its reputation for excellence that it attracted nearly 100,000 visitors. Today Tanglewood annually draws close to a quarter of a million visitors; in addition to the twenty-four regular concerts of the Boston Symphony, there are weekly chamber music concerts, "Prelude" concerts and open rehearsals, the annual Festival of Contemporary Music, and almost daily concerts by the gifted young musicians of the Berkshire MORE MUSIC FORYOUR MONEY.

  • ARSC Journal
    A Discography of the Choral Symphony by J. F. Weber In previous issues of this Journal (XV:2-3; XVI:l-2), an effort was made to compile parts of a composer discography in depth rather than breadth. This one started in a similar vein with the realization that SO CDs of the Beethoven Ninth Symphony had been released (the total is now over 701). This should have been no surprise, for writers have stated that the playing time of the CD was designed to accommodate this work. After eighteen months' effort, a reasonably complete discography of the work has emerged. The wonder is that it took so long to collect a body of information (especially the full names of the vocalists) that had already been published in various places at various times. The Japanese discographers had made a good start, and some of their data would have been difficult to find otherwise, but quite a few corrections and additions have been made and some recording dates have been obtained that seem to have remained 1.Dlpublished so far. The first point to notice is that six versions of the Ninth didn't appear on the expected single CD. Bl:lhm (118) and Solti (96) exceeded the 75 minutes generally assumed (until recently) to be the maximum CD playing time, but Walter (37), Kegel (126), Mehta (127), and Thomas (130) were not so burdened and have been reissued on single CDs since the first CD release. On the other hand, the rather short Leibowitz (76), Toscanini (11), and Busch (25) versions have recently been issued with fillers.

  • 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”).

This dissertation will serve as a unifying element in bringing the Armenians in the diaspora and in the homeland together through the power of music. The information collected for each piece includes instrumentation, duration, publisher information, and other details. This research will be beneficial for music students, conductors, orchestra managers, festival organizers, cultural event planning and those studying the influences of Armenian folk music in orchestral writing. It is especially intended to be useful in searching for music by Armenian composers for thematic and cultural programing, as it should aid in the acquisition of parts from publishers. In the early part of the 20th century, Armenian people were oppressed by the Ottoman government and a mass genocide against Armenians occurred. Many Armenians fled
