Jack Oliver Evans: His Life and His Contributions to the Ohio State University School of Music JACK OLIVER EVANS: HIS LIFE AND HIS CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE OHIO ST ATE UNIVERSITY SCHOOL OF MUSIC A Thesis Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Arts in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Jonathan Neale Waters, B.M.E. * * * * * The Ohio State University 2002 Master's Examination Committee: Approved by Dr. Jon R. Woods, Adviser Dr. Russel C. Mikkelson Dr. Jere L. Forsythe Department of Music Education ABSTRACT Jack Oliver Evans (1915-2001) began a professional career in music and education in 1937 that lasted for sixty-four years. He was regarded as one of the finest teachers and band directors in the country at the pinnacle of his career. Bom in 1915 in Charleston, South Carolina, Jack Evans moved to various areas of the eastern United States in his early childhood, as his father was in the Navy. Just before embarking to sea in World War I, Evans’ father moved his young family to Cleveland, Ohio and was later declared “lost at sea.” Evans grew up in the Cleveland Schools and became fascinated with the sound and sight of a trombone. He had positive experiences through his school career, claiming that he “never had a bad teacher.” Evans truly began teaching while still a junior high school student, and at that time decided that education would be his life’s devotion. Evans attended John Adams High School and played first trombone in the Orchestra that won the National Orchestra Competition in 1932. In 1937, he received his Bachelor of Arts degree in Music Education from Western Reserve University, where he was drum major of the band. Jack Evans began his professional teaching career at Shaker Heights High School in 1937, as he was in charge of instrumental music. He spent thirty months (1943-1946) in the United States Army as a band leader and variety show leader traveling through ii various parts of England and France. The year 1947 proved to be a pivotal time in his career as he was hired as an Assistant Professor in the School of Music at The Ohio State University. He was assigned to teach low brass instruments to music majors and also was made Assistant Director of the Ohio State University Marching Band, in addition to beginning a second concert band called the “Activities Band.” In 1952, he rose to the rank of Marching Band Director, a position that he held for twelve years. During his tenure as director, he took the band to the Rose Bowl, made the first sound recordings and motion pictures of the band, and moved the band into a new practice facility in Ohio Stadium, while developing a comprehensive tradition of excellence. He retired in 1964 as the Marching Band director, but remained on the School of Music faculty as the head of Brass Instrument Instruction until fully retiring in 1973. After his retirement, he returned to Ohio State and the School of Music as a career counselor for music education students and also acted as a new student recruiting coordinator until 1985. Evans also became the first acting director of the “Active Band” of the TBDBITL Alumni Club in 1968. He conducted the All-Ohio Boys Band from 1967-1969. Jack Evans remained active after retirement in music throughout Ohio and the nation. He was a guest conductor and clinician to many bands and for many adjudicated events around the country. Jack O. Evans died on the 14th of November, 2001. Evans is survived by his wife, Carol J. Evans, and thousands of grateful students whose lives he touched. iii Dedicated to Carol J. Evans and the many students whose lives Jack 0. Evans molded IV ACKNOWLEGMENTS I wish to thank my adviser, Dr. Jon R. Woods, for his unconditional support throughout my education and development as a musician and as a person. Furthermore, for the many opportunities he has afforded me, and for the encouragement and mentorship that he had shown me, I am profoundly grateful. I especially thank Dr. Paul Droste, for without his guidance and hours of interviewing and transcription, this project would not be possible. Dr. Droste was the impetus and inspiration for this thesis. I also express my thanks to Dr. Russel C. Mikkelson for the tutelage and impart of comprehensive musicianship that he has instilled in my life. I am a better conductor because of his patience and guidance. I am grateful for the many opportunities and musical experiences I have shared with Professor Richard Blatti and for the growth as an educator that I have experienced through him. I thank Dr. Jere Forsythe for providing for me a model of the educator for which I will strive. v I express my gratitude to Carol Evans for our many meetings and the insight that she has provided into the life and person of her husband Jack Evans. I thank my fiance, Molly Simenz, for her love, patience and support (and typing skills) throughout the duration of this project. Finally, I express my sincere thanks to all of my family and friends for their support, encouragement, and companionship throughout my life.

  • Music and the American Civil War
    “LIBERTY’S GREAT AUXILIARY”: MUSIC AND THE AMERICAN CIVIL WAR by CHRISTIAN MCWHIRTER A DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of History in the Graduate School of The University of Alabama TUSCALOOSA, ALABAMA 2009 Copyright Christian McWhirter 2009 ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ABSTRACT Music was almost omnipresent during the American Civil War. Soldiers, civilians, and slaves listened to and performed popular songs almost constantly. The heightened political and emotional climate of the war created a need for Americans to express themselves in a variety of ways, and music was one of the best. It did not require a high level of literacy and it could be performed in groups to ensure that the ideas embedded in each song immediately reached a large audience. Previous studies of Civil War music have focused on the music itself. Historians and musicologists have examined the types of songs published during the war and considered how they reflected the popular mood of northerners and southerners. This study utilizes the letters, diaries, memoirs, and newspapers of the 1860s to delve deeper and determine what roles music played in Civil War America. This study begins by examining the explosion of professional and amateur music that accompanied the onset of the Civil War. Of the songs produced by this explosion, the most popular and resonant were those that addressed the political causes of the war and were adopted as the rallying cries of northerners and southerners. All classes of Americans used songs in a variety of ways, and this study specifically examines the role of music on the home-front, in the armies, and among African Americans.

    1. LETTER TO PARASRAM MEHROTRA [Before June 16, 1932]1 CHI. PARASRAM, Judging from your letter the children seem to have made good progress. You speed with the takli is also good. Do give half an hour daily to it; if you can in what time spin 160 rounds, nothing can be better than that. What does kule ki haddi2 mean? The word Kula is not to be found in the Hindi Dictionary. Why did the haddi get swollen? Has the swelling subsided now? If it has not, you must take immediate steps to cure it. The replies to the questions which you have put to Mahadev are: 1. I consider a minimum of half an hour’s walk morning and evening essential for you and others. It is not necessary to sit in one position for more than an hour. One should stand up for a minute at least, or change the posture. 2. It is natural that a mother should desire to see her son, but every mother ought to restrain such a with and, if the son is engaged in some activity of service, he must cure his mother of such attachment. 3. When a son goes abroad and lives in a foreign country for ten years, his mother has no choice but to bear the separation. There are innumerable poor mothers in India who possibly never again see the face of their son after he has gone out to earn a living. One may console the mother through a letter, and cheer her as much as one can by reasoning with her and citing other similar instances.
