Brooks & Dunn’s salute featured three songs with varying degrees of spiritual heft: Brothers Osborne’s faithful incarnation of the bap- tismal-themed “Brand New Man,” Luke Bryan’s biting and boisterous take on the blue-collar epiphany “Red Dirt Road” and Yearwood’s rivet- ing “Believe.” Stevens was celebrated with his own churchy classic, “Everything Is Beau- tiful,” delivered by The McCrary Sisters, who sang in the gospel children’s choir on the original 1970 recording.

Young managed to connect “The Streak” to the nude Musica statue in Nashville’s Music Row roundabout, adjacent to a park named for Brad- ley’s Hall of Fame father, Owen Bradley. And that led Jerry Bradley to share a story in his acceptance speech about a meeting in Shreveport, La., with Hank Williams’ widow, Billie Jean Horton, who proposed that they consummate a deal during his tenure with Acuff/Rose by getting naked in her pool. “I quickly said, ‘No, but I will send Troy,’ ” he quipped, referring to Troy Tomlinson, now Universal Music Publishing Group Nashville chairman/CEO. Oddly enough, that in turn led Kix Brooks to note that his first live perfor- mance, as a school kid in Shreveport, came in Horton’s carport with a band he formed with classmates. “She wore these great leopard-skin tight pants,” recalled Brooks. “We’re Riley Green performed current single “I Wish Grandpas Never Died” like 12, and we’re going, ‘Hello, Mrs. Horton.’ Thanks for reminding me during a promotional visit to the Academy of Country Music in Los of her.” Angeles.

Much attention is given by some of country’s most ardent observers to figures who are absent from the institution’s rolls, including Keith Whitley, Dwight Yoakam, The Judds, Ray Charles and Hank Williams Jr. While inducting Stevens, 2007 inductee Ralph Emery confessed he had lobbied prospective voters (the panel, which numbers at least 350 people, is kept a secret) on Stevens’ behalf for four years. The wait was apparently worth it. “Nobody chooses to be up here,” said Stevens during his acceptance speech. “We can dream about it, and we can plan. We can’t choose.

  • Stanford Live Announces Added Events
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE CONTACT: Robert Cable, Stanford Live 650-736-0091 [email protected] PHOTOS: http://live.stanford.edu/press STANFORD LIVE ANNOUNCES ADDED EVENTS Brandi Carlile joins the lineup as well two new Cabaret Studio shows featuring Israeli singer Victoria Hanna and the Uriel Herman Quartet. Stanford, CA, October 9, 2017—A decade after the 2007 hit, The Story, that launched her career, the Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter Brandi Carlile celebrates that breakthrough with Cover Stories, a release of covers by an eye-popping cast that includes Adele, Pearl Jam, Dolly Parton, the Indigo Girls and, in a forward note to the collection, Barack Obama. Stanford Live audiences can expect a few of her seminal songs as well as some holiday tunes when Carlile performs with longtime bandmates Tim and Phil Hanseroth (aka “the Twins”) as part of their Winter Acoustic tour at Stanford’s Memorial Auditorium on December 15. Also, just added to the season are two more shows in Stanford Live’s Cabaret series, which is presented in Bing Concert Hall’s cozy 160-seat underground Studio. On November 29, the Jerusalem- based singer Victoria Hanna, called “the freshest, edgiest, weirdest artist on the Israeli airwaves,” performs new work she is developing at the Magnes Collection of Jewish Art and Life at UC Berkeley, during her fall residency there. Then on January 20, the Bing Studio will host the U.S. debut tour of Israeli jazz piano virtuoso Uriel Herman and his Quartet, who combine jazz, Middle Eastern influences, and alternative rock for a uniquely captivating sound.

  • What Handel Taught the Viennese About the Trombone
    291 What Handel Taught the Viennese about the Trombone David M. Guion Vienna became the musical capital of the world in the late eighteenth century, largely because its composers so successfully adapted and blended the best of the various national styles: German, Italian, French, and, yes, English. Handel’s oratorios were well known to the Viennese and very influential.1 His influence extended even to the way most of the greatest of them wrote trombone parts. It is well known that Viennese composers used the trombone extensively at a time when it was little used elsewhere in the world. While Fux, Caldara, and their contemporaries were using the trombone not only routinely to double the chorus in their liturgical music and sacred dramas, but also frequently as a solo instrument, composers elsewhere used it sparingly if at all. The trombone was virtually unknown in France. It had disappeared from German courts and was no longer automatically used by composers working in German towns. J.S. Bach used the trombone in only fifteen of his more than 200 extant cantatas. Trombonists were on the payroll of San Petronio in Bologna as late as 1729, apparently longer than in most major Italian churches, and in the town band (Concerto Palatino) until 1779. But they were available in England only between about 1738 and 1741. Handel called for them in Saul and Israel in Egypt. It is my contention that the influence of these two oratorios on Gluck and Haydn changed the way Viennese composers wrote trombone parts. Fux, Caldara, and the generations that followed used trombones only in church music and oratorios.

  • THE MUSICAL FEATURES of 2015'S TOP-RANKED COUNTRY SONGS
    THE MUSICAL FEATURES OF 2015’s TOP-RANKED COUNTRY SONGS By Mason Taylor Allen Senior Honors Thesis Department of Music University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill April 22, 2016 Approved: Dr. Jocelyn R. Neal, Thesis Advisor Dr. Allen Anderson, Reader Dr. Andrea Bohlman, Reader © 2016 Mason Taylor Allen ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Mason Taylor Allen: The Musical Features of 2015’s Top-Ranked Country Songs Under the direction of Dr. Jocelyn R. Neal The 2015 top-ten country songs analyzed in this study are characterized by the various formats of their song form, harmonies, and lyrics. This thesis presents a comprehensive study of the structure and narratives in sixty-seven songs that summarizes the distinctive features within those domains of contemporary commercial country music. A detailed description of the norm along with identifiable trends emerges. The song form that features most prominently in this repertory includes a verse-chorus-bridge form with three iterations of the chorus, an intro and outro section, and instrumental sections immediately following each chorus. The top-ten country songs have varying degrees of departure from this typical model. Primary features of the harmonies of these top songs include the frequent use of a double-tonic complex, the absence of a 5-1 authentic cadence, the same chord progression throughout the verse, chorus, and bridge, and the use of only two chords throughout the song. Lyrical analyses show that 2015 songs are continuing the traditional themes about romantic attraction, love, heartache, good times and partying, home, family, nostalgia, religion, and inspiration, within the context of small-town country life that this genre has used for years.

  • Witty Songs ©Ted Schaar 2011
    Witty Songs ©Ted Schaar 2011 Several years ago through eBay I bought colored-vinyl versions of The Beatles 1962-1966 (The Red Album) and The Beatles 1967-1970 (The Blue Album) from a major fan named Ed. After I paid, he asked if I would be interested in some bootlegs he had that featured sessions recorded while The Beatles were working on their amazing albums—he was willing to transfer them to CD free of charge. I mentioned in my thank you e-mail that I was old enough to have seen the Beatles when they first appeared on The Ed Sullivan Show in 1964. He replied it was "an honor" to meet someone who saw the Beatles live (Ed was born in 1966). This made me think that although those who watched The Beatles that night were part of a huge television audience—almost 74 million1—it's a set whose numbers have decreased tremendously in the 45 years that have passed. That realization, Ed's comment and generous offer to send the CDs, and the about-the-same-time coincidence of having dinner with a man named Bill who saw the Beatles perform in Milwaukee in the fall of 1964 started a chain of events that led me to write two articles. The first, "A Day in the Center of Beatlemania," is about the band's September 4, 1964, appearance at the Arena in Milwaukee. The seed for the second—this one—was planted after Ed's CDs arrived. These were interesting for their roughness and for the insights they provided into the experimentation that produced musical passages such as the unusual Paul McCartney organ part that opens and becomes the backbone of "Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds." On one I was hearing works in progress ranging from the acoustic beginning of "All Together Now" to John Lennon performing an early version of "Good Morning, Good Morning" when out of the blue comes Pete Drake, his talking guitar, and the sliding-steel-words: "I'm just a guitar, everybody picks on me." The track is from the bootleg Through Many Years that focuses on George Harrison and Ringo Starr.2 Ed had combined various bootlegs on each of the CDs he sent.
