  • The Functional Music of Gail Kubik: Catalyst for the Concert Hall
    The Functional Music of Gail Kubik: Catalyst for the Concert Hall Alfred W. Cochran From the late 1930s through the mid-1960s, three composers for the concert hall profoundly influenced American music and exerted a strong influence upon music in the cinema-Virgil Thomson (1896-1989), Aaron Copland (1900-90), and Gail Kubik (1914-84). Each won the Pulitzer prize in music, and two of those awards, Thomson's and Kubik's, were derived from their film scores. 1 Moreover, both Thomson and Copland earned Academy Awards for their film work. 2 All three men drew concert works from their film scores, but only Kubik used functional music as a significant progenitor for other pieces destined for the concert hall. An examination of his oeuvre shows an affinity for such transformations. More common, perhaps, was the practice of composers using ideas derived from previously composed works when writing a film score. In Kubik's case, the opposite was true; his work for radio, films, and television provided the impetus for a significant amount of his nonfunctional music, including chamber pieces and orchestral works of large and small dimension. This earned well-deserved praise, including that of Nadia Boulanger, who was Kubik's teacher and steadfast friend. Kubik was a prodigy-the youngest person to earn a full scholarship to the Eastman School of Music, its youngest graduate (completing requirements in both violin and composition), a college teacher at nineteen, the MacDowell Colony'S youngest Fellow, and the youngest student admitted to Harvard University'S doctoral program in music. In 1940, he left the faculty of Teachers College, Columbia University and became staff composer and music program advisor for NBC.

During the fall term we shall examine how a dozen or so writers wrote within the studio system before it collapsed in the late 1950s, including a sustained look at the work of Preston Sturges.

  • The Broken Ideals of Love and Family in Film Noir
    1 Murder, Mugs, Molls, Marriage: The Broken Ideals of Love and Family in Film Noir Noir is a conversation rather than a single genre or style, though it does have a history, a complex of overlapping styles and typical plots, and more central directors and films. It is also a conversation about its more common philosophies, socio-economic and sexual concerns, and more expansively its social imaginaries. MacIntyre's three rival versions suggest the different ways noir can be studied. Tradition's approach explains better the failure of the other two, as will as their more limited successes. Something like the Thomist understanding of people pursuing perceived (but faulty) goods better explains the neo- Marxist (or other power/conflict) model and the self-construction model. Each is dependent upon the materials of an earlier tradition to advance its claims/interpretations. [Styles-studio versus on location; expressionist versus classical three-point lighting; low-key versus high lighting; whites/blacks versus grays; depth versus flat; theatrical versus pseudo-documentary; variety of felt threat levels—investigative; detective, procedural, etc.; basic trust in ability to restore safety and order versus various pictures of unopposable corruption to a more systemic nihilism; melodramatic vs. colder, more distant; dialogue—more or less wordy, more or less contrived, more or less realistic; musical score—how much it guides and dictates emotions; presence or absence of humor, sentiment, romance, healthy family life; narrator, narratival flashback; motives for criminality and violence-- socio- economic (expressed by criminal with or without irony), moral corruption (greed, desire for power), psychological pathology; cinematography—classical vs.

  • Ronald Davis Oral History Collection on the Performing Arts
    Oral History Collection on the Performing Arts in America Southern Methodist University The Southern Methodist University Oral History Program was begun in 1972 and is part of the University’s DeGolyer Institute for American Studies. The goal is to gather primary source material for future writers and cultural historians on all branches of the performing arts- opera, ballet, the concert stage, theatre, films, radio, television, burlesque, vaudeville, popular music, jazz, the circus, and miscellaneous amateur and local productions. The Collection is particularly strong, however, in the areas of motion pictures and popular music and includes interviews with celebrated performers as well as a wide variety of behind-the-scenes personnel, several of whom are now deceased. Most interviews are biographical in nature although some are focused exclusively on a single topic of historical importance. The Program aims at balancing national developments with examples from local history. Interviews with members of the Dallas Little Theatre, therefore, serve to illustrate a nation-wide movement, while film exhibition across the country is exemplified by the Interstate Theater Circuit of Texas. The interviews have all been conducted by trained historians, who attempt to view artistic achievements against a broad social and cultural backdrop. Many of the persons interviewed, because of educational limitations or various extenuating circumstances, would never write down their experiences, and therefore valuable information on our nation’s cultural heritage would be lost if it were not for the S.M.U. Oral History Program. Interviewees are selected on the strength of (1) their contribution to the performing arts in America, (2) their unique position in a given art form, and (3) availability.
