I stand on the shoulders of those who have come before. Over the past forty years family, friends, professors, teachers, colleagues, eminent scholars, students, and just plain folk have taught me much of what you read in these pages. And the Creator has given me the wherewithal to ex- ecute what is now before you. First, I could not have completed research without the assistance of the staff at various libraries. I express gratitude to the library staff at Tu- lane and Yale universities and the University of Arkansas. At the Music Division of the Library of Congress, Wilda Heiss and Lloyd DePinchback made available to me the Aaron Copland Collection, which in the early 1990s was uncataloged. Thanks also go to the attorney for the Copland Estate, the late Ellis Freedman, who granted permission to use the collec- tion, which was not open to the public at the time I conducted my re- search. I also am indebted to the Aaron Copland Foundation and Boosey and Hawkes. The staff at the American Composers’ Alliance and the American Music Center in New York opened their files to me. Any work on Aaron Copland owes much to Vivian Perlis, for her vision in founding the Oral History Project in American Music at Yale, and because she so generously shares her memories of her dear friend. Mrs. Perlis, I hope this study does justice to Copland and all he accomplished. This book could not have been published in its present form without the support of the Earl Johnson Bequest for Book Publication Subvention awarded by the Society for American Music and a Publication Subvention from the Amer- ican Musicological Society. I am immensely grateful to these societies for their support. I have not worked in a vacuum. Many professors have lit my path. I thank Michael Friedmann and Reinhard Strohm. The late Claude V. Palisca provided a sterling scholarly model. I coined the term Paliscare when studying Italian in graduate school; it means to work hard, thor- oughly, and productively. I hope that this present work does justice to the word. I also wish to thank V. Kofi Agawu, Carol Oja, and William Lowe. I also express immense gratitude to Josephine Wright and Kay Kaufmann Shelemay. When I first began work on Copland, I had few colleagues working in this area, unlike today. I acknowledge and thank my Copland colleagues Sally Bick, Elisabeth Crist, Jennifer DeLapp, Howard Pollack, and Marta Robertson. I also wish to thank Gayle Sherwood. Special thanks is due my extraordinarily patient and understanding editors at the University of Michigan Press, Chris Hebert, Marcia LaBrenz, and Ellen Bauerle. So many dear friends have offered support along the way: I wish to thank Dr. Merlyn Hurd and the late Hugh Hurd; Denise Hurd for hous- ing me during the New York stage of the research; and Pam Potter for the many kitchen table conversations. I also apologize for the impositions: to Miriam Jaffe and Karen Robinson in Baltimore; to Pamela Jaffari and Kimberly Williams in Washington, D.C.; to Ned Lochaya, Ellie Murphy, and Kelly Parr in New York; to John Gough in Glasgow and London; to Claire Detels and Lewis Chamness in Arkansas; and to Jacqueline McLendon and Hermine and Don Pinson in Williamsburg. I also thank my Tulane colleagues Felipe Smith and Amy Koritz. Michael Cunning- ham, Pam Franco, Joy V. Fugua, and Rosanne Adderley have been tremendous; you cannot find better. Und auch, veilen Dank, Herr und Frau Herrmann, Karin Herrmann, und Baerli. Joan Capra also opened her home to me, welcoming my many boxes and papers. Violet Fitz- patrick, Hillary, and Buster played a major part in the early stage of this work. Jerise Fogel went above and beyond: without her love and sup- port, my dissertation would not have gotten to Yale on time during that week when my mother died. I thank other friends for their support: C. Evelynn Hawkins, Tammy Kernodle, Georgiary Bledsoe, and Lisé de Lay. Special thanks go to Wayne D. Shirley and the late Catherine Parsons Smith. I cannot express how important it has been to say that you are my friends. Two others are now no longer with us in this life, but their work and memories live on: Mark Tucker and John Blassingame. “Blass” is my Du Bois. Ingrid Mon- son and Okolo Ewunike listened in many telephone conversations, espe- cially during a time when I lost my parents a year apart, and moved halfway across the country—twice. And Angus, feline, who played kitten on the computer keys. I finished this manuscript in New Orleans in August 2004 and ed- ited it over the next year. In August 2005 Hurricane Katrina devastated New Orleans and the Gulf Coast. Fortunately, I had left the city several days earlier, but many of my relatives and friends suffered through the hurricane and its aftermath. Work on the final edits was interrupted as I watched events unfold and I tried to wrap my mind around what was happening in the Crescent City. Key people in New Orleans welcomed and accepted me when others did not. They have touched my life for- ever. Though dispersed, the Millennium Band lives on: Charles Baker, Richard Fultz, Ed Wills, Rial Diles, Brian Alexander, and Alvin “Apple” viii Acknowledgments Battise. I give a nod to trombonist Doc Lewis and the Hot Sauce Band, Zion Trinity, and the other musicians I had an opportunity to perform with or just sit in with. Thanks for keeping it real. The members of Cor- nerstone United Methodist Church buoyed me during my years there, especially the mothers of the church, Mrs. Marian Roussel, Mrs. Cora Charles, Mrs. Janet Jackson, and the late Mrs. Laura Good. I am a fourth-generation educator. Mrs. Roussel taught generations of school- children in New Orleans. Miss Cora and Miss Laura taught generations of nursing students at Dillard University. Thank you for reminding me how far we have come. Work could not have been pursued without my family and teachers, who first encouraged my interest in music. Never forget the bridge that carries you over. Thanks to my first piano teachers, Mrs. Brown and Carol Sykes. Special praise goes to my high school piano teacher, the late Mrs. Judith Aycock, who first said I could be a(n) (ethno)musicologist. My late godparents, Mr. Isaiah and Mrs. Mildred Jones, told me, “Take God with you.” I also thank my aunt, Gay A. Killens—blood is thicker than water. My late father, Theodore W. Murchison, set an example of how to live life. Most importantly, this book is dedicated to the memory of my moth- ers: Beulah McQueen Murchison, who both made numerous sacrifices (now I understand what you were teaching me—you were my rock) and prescribed the simple edict of excellence in all endeavors; and to master musician Earnestine Arnette—pianist, choral conductor, church musi- cian—who saw that I gravitated to the piano when I was three and who gave me my first musicology test when I was eight (you were my inspira- tion). Teen, your indomitable spirit, tenacity and perseverance will forever be unmatched. “Smile in the face of adversity . and never give up.” —Ama, New Orleans, August 2004/Williamsburg, December 2011 Acknowledgments ix Contents List of Tables xiii List of Musical Examples xv Introduction 1 CHAPTER ONE Scherzo humoristique (Cat and Mouse): Copland’s American Petrushka and His Debt to Stravinsky 9 CHAPTER TWO Boulanger and Compositional Maturity 35 CHAPTER THREE Popular Music and Jazz: Authentic or Ersatz? 55 CHAPTER FOUR Paris and Jazz: French Neoclassicism and the New Modern American Music 72 CHAPTER FIVE Back in the United States: Popular Music, Jazz, and the New American Music 95 CHAPTER SIX European Influence beyond Stravinsky and Les Six: Hába and Schoenberg 124 CHAPTER SEVEN Toward a New National Music during the 1930s: Copland’s Populism, Accessible Style, and Folk and Popular Music 148 CHAPTER EIGHT Copland’s Journey Left 160 CHAPTER NINE “Folk” Music and the Popular Front: El Salón México 190 CHAPTER TEN Billy the Kid 208 CONCLUSION A Vision for American Music . 230 Notes 235 Bibliography 259 Index 277 Tables Table Introduction 1 Cowell’s Categories of American Composers According to Style and Aesthetic 5 Table 1.1 Copland’s Diagram of Rounded Binary Form 19 Table 1.2 Copland’s Diagram of Sonata Form 19 Table 1.3 Scherzo humoristique (The Cat and the Mouse), Overall Form 24 Table 1.4 Scherzo humoristique, Introduction 26 Table 1.5 Scherzo humoristique, Section A 26 Table 1.6 Scherzo humoristique, Section AЈ 27 Table 1.7 Scherzo humoristique, Section B 27 Table 2.1 Two Pieces for String Quartet, “Rondino,” Soggetto cavato, Fauré 41 Table 2.2 Two Pieces for String Quartet, “Rondino,” Scale Types Derived from Subject 42 Table 2.3 Two Pieces for String Quartet, II.

BUTLER JOURNAL OF UNDERGRADUATE RESEARCH, VOLUME 7 MUSICAL HYBRIDIZATION AND POLITICAL CONTRADICTION: THE SUCCESS OF ARTHUR HONEGGER’S ANTIGONE IN VICHY FRANCE EMMA K. SCHUBART, UNIVERSITY OF NORTH CAROLINA, CHAPEL HILL MENTOR: SHARON JAMES Abstract Arthur Honegger’s modernist opera Antigone appeared at the Paris Opéra in 1943, sixteen years after its unremarkable premiere in Brussels. The sudden Parisian success of the opera was extraordinary: the work was enthusiastically received by the French public, the Vichy collaborationist authorities, and the occupying Nazi officials. The improbable wartime triumph of Antigone can be explained by a unique confluence of compositional, political, and cultural realities. Honegger’s compositional hybridization of French and German musical traditions, as well as his opportunistic commercial motivations as a Swiss composer working in German-occupied France, certainly aided the success of the opera.

  • Aaron Copland: Famous American Composer, Copland Was Born in Brooklyn, New York, on November 14, 1900. the Child of Jewish Immig
    Aaron Copland: Famous American Composer, Copland was born in Brooklyn, New York, on November 14, 1900. The child of Jewish immigrants from Lithuania, he first learned to play the piano from his older sister. At the age of sixteen he went to Manhattan to study with Rubin Goldmark, a respected private music instructor who taught Copland the fundamentals of counterpoint and composition. During these early years he immersed himself in contemporary classical music by attending performances at the New York Symphony and Brooklyn Academy of Music. He found, however, that like many other young musicians, he was attracted to the classical history and musicians of Europe. So, at the age of twenty, he left New York for the Summer School of Music for American Students at Fountainebleau, France. In France, Copland found a musical community unlike any he had known. While in Europe, Copeland met many of the important artists of the time, including the famous composer Serge Koussevitsky. Koussevitsky requested that Copland write a piece for the Boston Symphony Orchestra. The piece, “Symphony for Organ and Orchestra” (1925) was Copland‟s entry into the life of professional American music. He followed this with “Music for the Theater” (1925) and “Piano Concerto” (1926), both of which relied heavily on the jazz idioms of the time. For Copland, jazz was the first genuinely American major musical movement. From jazz he hoped to draw the inspiration for a new type of symphonic music, one that could distinguish itself from the music of Europe. In the late 1920s Copland‟s attention turned to popular music of other countries.

Master of Music (Theory), August, 1995, 86 pp., 22 examples, 5 figures, bibliography, 122 titles. This thesis presents an analysis of Copland's first major serial work, the Quartet for Piano and Strings (1950), using pitch-class set theory and tonal analytical techniques. The first chapter introduces Copland's Piano Quartet in its historical context and considers major influences on his compositional development. The second chapter takes up a pitch-class set approach to the work, emphasizing the role played by the eleven-tone row in determining salient pc sets. Chapter Three re-examines many of these same passages from the viewpoint of tonal referentiality, considering how Copland is able to evoke tonal gestures within a structural context governed by pc-set relationships. The fourth chapter will reflect on the dialectic that is played out in this work between pc-sets and tonal elements, and considers the strengths and weaknesses of various analytical approaches to the work.

  • New and Old Tendencies in Labour Mediation Among Early Twentieth-Century US and European Composers
    Anna G. Piotrowska New and Old Tendencies in Labour Mediation among Early Twentieth-Century U.S. and European Composers: An Outline of Applied Attitudes1 Abstract: New and Old Tendencies in Labour Mediation among Early Twen- tieth-Century U.S. and European Composers: An Outline of Applied Atti- tudes.This paper presents strategies used by early twentieth-century compos- ers in order to secure an income. In the wake of new economic realities, the Romantic legacy of the musician as creator was confronted by new expecta- tions of his position within society. An analysis of written accounts by com- posers of various origins (British, German, French, Russian or American), including their artistic preferences and family backgrounds, reveals how they often resorted to jobs associated with musicianship such as conducting or teaching. In other cases, they willingly relied on patronage or actively sought new sources of employment offered by the nascent film industry and assorted foundations. Finally, composers also benefited from organized associations and leagues that campaigned for their professional recognition. Key Words: composers, 20th century, employment, vacation, film industry, patronage, foundations Introduction Strategies undertaken by early twentieth-century composers to secure their income were highly determined by their position within society.2 Already around 1900, composers confronted a new reality: the definition of a composer inherited from earlier centuries no longer applied. As will be demonstrated by an analysis of their Anna G. Piotrowska, Institute of Musicology, the Jagiellonian University (Krakow), ul.

  • Tuareg Music and Capitalist Reckonings in Niger a Dissertation Submitted
    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles Rhythms of Value: Tuareg Music and Capitalist Reckonings in Niger A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in Ethnomusicology by Eric James Schmidt 2018 © Copyright by Eric James Schmidt 2018 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Rhythms of Value: Tuareg Music and Capitalist Reckonings in Niger by Eric James Schmidt Doctor of Philosophy in Ethnomusicology University of California, Los Angeles, 2018 Professor Timothy D. Taylor, Chair This dissertation examines how Tuareg people in Niger use music to reckon with their increasing but incomplete entanglement in global neoliberal capitalism. I argue that a variety of social actors—Tuareg musicians, fans, festival organizers, and government officials, as well as music producers from Europe and North America—have come to regard Tuareg music as a resource by which to realize economic, political, and other social ambitions. Such treatment of culture-as-resource is intimately linked to the global expansion of neoliberal capitalism, which has led individual and collective subjects around the world to take on a more entrepreneurial nature by exploiting representations of their identities for a variety of ends. While Tuareg collective identity has strongly been tied to an economy of pastoralism and caravan trade, the contemporary moment demands a reimagining of what it means to be, and to survive as, Tuareg. Since the 1970s, cycles of drought, entrenched poverty, and periodic conflicts have pushed more and more Tuaregs to pursue wage labor in cities across northwestern Africa or to work as trans- ii Saharan smugglers; meanwhile, tourism expanded from the 1980s into one of the region’s biggest industries by drawing on pastoralist skills while capitalizing on strategic essentialisms of Tuareg culture and identity.

Introduction to Focus 2020 by Joel Sachs The seed for this year’s Focus Festival was planted in December 2018 at a Juilliard doctoral recital by the Chilean violist Sergio Muñoz Leiva. I was especially struck by the sonata of Rebecca Clarke, an Anglo-American composer of the early 20th century who has been known largely by that one piece, now a staple of the viola repertory. Thinking about the challenges she faced in establishing her credibility as a professional composer, my mind went to a group of women in that period, roughly 1885 to 1930, who struggled to be accepted as professional composers rather than as professional performers writing as a secondary activity or as amateur composers.

Literature available on Honegger’s Cello Concerto suggests this concerto is often considered as a composition that resonates with Les Six traditions. While reflecting currents of Les Six, the Cello Concerto also features departures from Erik Satie’s and Jean Cocteau’s ideal for French composers to return to simplicity. Both characteristics of and departures from Les Six examined in this concerto include metric organization, thematic and rhythmic development, melodic wedge shapes, contrapuntal techniques, simplicity in orchestration, diatonicism, the use of humor, jazz influences, and other unique performance techniques.

My arms, your branches, My torso, your trunk My lungs, your leaves Alveoli, A tree lives inside me, Upside down, I inhale oxygen, Exhale CO2 You inhale CO2 Exhale oxygen Beings in symbiosis Invisible rhythms, we’ve forgotten how to breathe into each other’s utterances, language became a thing of the mouth, And the vocal cords, And the body forgot its speech, when did we think ourselves different from the land from each other? then our mother? How much blood, sap, serum, suero, sweat has fed this soil? Whose hands, whose sweat, whose blood has dripped into this dirt, we try to call home? Even if we have been displaced to many times to count or carry, We are settlers in stolen territories How can anyone be illegal in looted land? What is the weight of the blood running through my veins, valves, and vacancies? Each drop a portal a place to be, The sweet locus of your origin Blood like sap traveling Through my body. I inhale oxygen, Exhale CO2 You inhale CO2 Exhale oxygen Am I drinking from the roots, or from the branches? Which way does your scarlet gown flow, the color of cardinals and martyrs, sweet rain and iron Our bodies swelling, made of water and matter.
