    THE HYECHRA CLUB The narrator has had a lively interest in The Hyechka Club since its beginning and believes that its history merits recording and dmu- menting in The Chronicles of OkZuhoma, Members of the Club in the past have been interested and its members today are interested in building and supporting a city and a state as cultural centers in which to rear patriotic and Clod-fearing children worthy of the loftiest ideals. Instead of a brief history, this band of music lovers is entitled to a fdsized, two volume publication to report ad* quately all that they have given to the education of young people along cdtural lines and to the wealth of Tulsa and the State of Oklahoma as expressed in the leadership and influence of the known and unknown contributors. Looking over the names of world famous artists that have appeared on its early programs and in its annual Spring Festivals, the words of Warner Van Valkenburg are a fitting tribute and introduction even to this brief history of Tulsa's pioneer organization of music lovers :l "I AM MUSIC. "I am the hymns of the Christian Martyrs in the catacombs; I am the songs of thanksgiving of the kneeling Pilgrime; I am the fugues of Bach, and the oratorios of Handel and Haydn; I am the magic flute of Momrt; I am the immortal symphonies of Beethoven; I am the throbbing mee- sages of Schubert and Schumann; I am the nocturnes of Chopin and the folk melodies of Dvorak; I am the rhapsodies of Linzt and the music- dramas of Wagner; I am the voice of Peter Tchaikowski, crying in the wilderness; I am Brahms and Richard Straues, and Verdi, fulfilling the command of destiny; yea I have breathed upon the harps of MacDowell and Cadman, and have sung of a new world in the west.

  • ARSC Journal, Spring 1991 35 Operatic Vitaphone Shorts
    THE OPERATIC VITAPHONE SHORTS By William Shaman On 6 August 1926 "Vitaphone," the latest commercial sound-on-disc motion picture system, made its debut at the Warners' Theater in New York City. The feature film that evening, "Don Juan," with John Barrymore and Mary Astor, was a lavish costume picture with a pre-recorded soundtrack consisting of synchronized sound effects and a Spanish-flavored score written by Major Edward Bowes, David Mendoza, and Dr. William Axt, played by the New York Philharmonic Orchestra under Henry Hadley. There was no spoken dialogue. Eight short subjects preceded "Don Juan:" Will H. Hays, president of the Motion Picture Producers Association, welcoming the Vitaphone in a spoken address; the Overture to Tannhauser played by the New York Philharmonic, again with Hadley conducting; violinist Mischa Elman, accompanied by pianist Josef Bonime, playing Dvorak's "Humoresque" and Gossec's "Gavotte;" Roy Smeck, "Wizard of the Strings," in a medley of Hawaiian guitar, ukulele, and banjo solos; violinist Efrem Zimbalist and pianist Harold Bauer playing the theme and variations from Beethoven's "Kreutzer" Sonata, and three solos by singers Marion Talley, Giovanni Martinelli and Anna Case. By all accounts, the show was a resounding success. A steady flow of shorts and part-talking features would follow, beginning with the second Vitaphone show on 7 October 1926. On 6 October 1927 "The Jazz Singer" premiered in New York. The other major Hollywood studios, anticipating a favorable public response to sound films, had been involved in clandestine negotiations since 1926 and now were scrambling to secure a share of this lucrative new market.

  • The Operas of Charles Gounod by Nick Fuller
    The Operas Of Charles Gounod by Nick Fuller I. Introduction Charles Gounod’s fame rests on one immortal opera, Faust . Roméo et Juliette and Mireille are regularly performed around the world, but many of his other operas were failures, did not hold the stage, or have been forgotten. Nevertheless, his music influenced and was admired by later generations of French composers. Debussy believed that Gounod represented an important stage in the evolution of French sensitivity, and that he modelled for an entire generation the principles of clarity, balance and suavity. Ravel held that the musical renaissance of his day began with Gounod. Saint-Saëns, Massenet and Bizet were his protégés and disciples, while Fauré admired him and César Franck considered Gounod his master. Reynaldo Hahn’s musical trinity was Mozart, Gounod and Saint-Saëns, and called Gounod the French Schubert and Schumann. Tellingly, most of these musicians were not primarily opera composers. It is, to be honest, more difficult to make the case for Gounod as an opera composer than it is for Meyerbeer or Massenet, who ruled the French lyric stage before and after him. Meyerbeer’s operas are rich and imaginative, while the quality and individuality of Massenet’s operas is astonishing. Although even his dramatically most feeble operas contain at least one delightful melody, Gounod’s operas are often less than the sum of their parts. What makes him a good composer of religious music or of mélodies makes him a weaker composer of opera. The problem, as Steven Huebner suggests, may be that Gounod was fundamentally not a dramatic composer; his tastes were too refined for the opera stage.

  • Edward Downes: a Life in Music and the Media
    EDWARD DOWNES: A LIFE IN MUSIC AND THE MEDIA DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Musical Arts in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Christopher C. Purdy, M.A. The Ohio State University 2008 Dissertation Committee Dr. Karen Peeler, Advisor Approved By Dr. Patrick Woliver Dr. Alan Woods _____________________________ Mary Tarantino, MFA Advisor Program In Music ABSTRACT Edward Downes (1911-2001) was a broadcaster, critic and teacher. For several days in 1994 and 1995, I sat in the “servant’s quarters” at the historic Dakota Apartment Building, Downes’ spacious six-room apartment under the eaves, with a magnificent view of Central Park, as he spoke into my old cassette recorder about his life and career. This project makes available for the first time Downes’ published criticism and these recent spoken reminiscences of more than a half-century of concert and opera going. Edward’s words will help the reader examine the development of music criticism in the United States, and its influence on audiences and music making. His clear memories of opera and concert life go back to the 1920s, and through them one gets a sense of what was available to audiences eighty years ago. Transcripts of my conversations recorded with Downes in New York form the heart of this document. These personal reminiscences are complemented by reviews published by Downes in The Boston Evening Transcript from 1939-1941, when he was chief critic for that paper. Both performance reviews and “thought” pieces will be presented showing how cultural life was discussed in print in the years leading up to World War II.

According to the Chicago Tribune, Marston’s name is ‘synonymous with tender Charles loving care to collectors of historical CDs’. Opera News calls his work ‘revelatory’, and Fanfare deems him ‘miraculous’. In 1996 Ward Marston received the Gramophone award for Historical Vocal Recording of the Year, GOUNOD honouring his production and engineering work on Romophone’s complete recordings of Lucrezia Bori. He also (1818-1892) served as re-recording engineer for the Franklin Mint’s Arturo Toscanini issue and BMG’s Sergey Rachmaninov recordings, both winners of the Best Historical Album Grammy. Born blind in 1952, Ward Marston has amassed tens of thousands of opera classical records over the past four Romeo et Juliette decades. Following a stint in radio while a student at Williams College, he became well-known as a reissue producer Opera in Five Acts (1867) in 1979, when he restored the earliest known stereo recording made by the Bell Telephone Laboratories in 1932. In the past, Ward Marston has produced records for a number of major and specialist record companies.

In 1914 he made his European debut in Genoa as Wilhelm Meister in Mignon, repeating the same role for his La Scala introduction, 1916. The Paris Opéra first heard him in 1918 in Donizetti’s Maria di Rohan. His Met debut was in 1919 as Almaviva in Il Barbiere di Siviglia. From 1922-1935, Hackett appeared as a leading Chicago Opera artist, in 1926 creating there the leading tenor role in Cadman’s A Witch of Salem with soprano Eidé Norena. The same year he appeared at Covent Garden in Melba’s Farewell as Roméo to the soprano’s Juliette. This portion of the MARIE GUTEIL-SCHODER concert couldn’t be recorded, as Hackett was an exclusive Columbia artist, while Melba was contracted with the Gramophone Company. While his operatic appearances ended in 1939, Hackett remained active in concert and on the radio. His death, January 1, 1942, was after elective surgery. 1320. 10” Blk.
