  • The Applachian Mountain Dulcimer: Examining the Creation of an “American Tradition”
    CFA MU 755, Boston University Steve Eulberg The Applachian Mountain Dulcimer: Examining the Creation of an “American Tradition” In a nation composed dominantly of immigrants, or people who are not “from” here, one can expect the cultural heritage in general, and the musical heritage in particular, to be based on the many strands of immigrant tradition. At some point, however, that which was brought from the old country begins to “belong” to the children of the immigrants, who pass this heritage on to their children. These strands are the woof that is woven into the warp of the new land—a process that continues until the tradition rightly belongs to the new setting as well. This is the case for the Applachian Mountain (or fretted, lap, plucked, strummed1) dulcimer. This instrument has been called by some “The Original American Folk Instrument.”2 Because other instruments have also laid claim to this appellation (most notably the banjo), this paper will explore whether or not it deserves such a name by describing the dulcimer, exploring its antecedent instruments, or “cousins”, tracing its construction and use by some people associated with the dulcimer, and examining samples of the music played on the instrument from 3 distinct periods of its use in the 20th century. What is the dulcimer? The Appalachian Mountain Dulcimer3 consists of a diatonic fretboard which is mounted on top of a soundbox. It is generally strung with three or four strings arranged in a pattern of three (with one pair of strings doubled and close together, to be played as one.) Its strings are strummed or plucked either with the fingers or a plectrum while the other hand is fretting the strings at different frets using either fingers or a wooden stick called a “noter.” The shape of the body or soundbox varies from hourglass, boat, diamond and lozenge, to teardrop and rectangular box style.

I am especially grateful to the sister of Jeffie Conner, Vera Malone, and her daughter, Vivienne Mayes, for donating the Conner papers to Baylor University. Kent Keeth, Ellen Brown, William Ming, and Virginia Ming helped me immensely at the Texas Collection at Baylor. I appreciated the assistance given me by Jene Wright at the Waco Public Library. Rowena Keatts, the librarian at Paul Quinn College, deserves my plaudits for having the foresight to preserve copies of the Waco Messenger, a valuable took for historical research about blacks in Waco and McLennan County. The staff members of the Lyndon B. Johnson Library and Texas State Library in Austin along with those at the Prairie View A and M University Library gave me aid, information, and guidance for which I thank them. Kathy Haigood and Fran Thompson expended time in locating records of the McLennan County School District for me. I certainly appreciated their efforts. Much appreciation also goes to Robert H. demons, the county school superintendent.

  • MUS 379K Spring 2018 Syllabus Draft 1
    The American Musical MUS 379K (Unique Number: 21340) T D 357T (Unique Number: 25425) Spring 2018 T/Th, 2:00-3:30pm MRH 2.610 Professor: Hannah Lewis Office: MRH 3.738 E-mail: [email protected] Office Hours: Thurs. 9:30-10:30 (please notify me in advance), or by appointment COURSE DESCRIPTION: For much of the 20th century, musicals stood at the center of American culture, producing tunes and tales that became the hits of their day. They commented on the ever-shifting social and political landscape, while pushing musical, dramatic, and choreographic boundaries, all within the confines of a commercial industry. This course explores the musical artistry and cultural resonances of several iconic shows, as rendered on stage and screen. Focusing on seven musicals – Show Boat (1927), Oklahoma (1943), Singin’ in the Rain (1952), West Side Story (1957), A Chorus Line (1975), Into the Woods (1987), and Hamilton (2015) – we will examine musical styles alongside broad cultural themes associated with the musical, including artistic collaboration, race and representation, gender, immigration, the role of dance, and adaptation or translation across media. We will additionally take advantage of UT’s resources on campus, by attending the touring Broadway production of School of Rock at Texas Performing Arts and meeting with company members, and by exploring the archival collections at the Harry Ransom Center on two separate occasions. This course is not intended to be a comprehensive survey, but rather a window into the musical’s power to reflect and shape any given historical moment and to push artistic boundaries.

    INFORMATION TO USERS This was produced from a copy of a document sent to us for microfilming. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the material submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or notations which may appear on this reproduction. 1. Tlie sign or “target” for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is “Missing Page(s)”. If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting through an image and duplicating adjacent pages to assure you of complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a round black mark it is an indication that the film inspector noticed either blurred copy because of movement during exposure, or duplicate copy. Unless we meant to delete copyrighted materials that should not have been filmed, you will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., is part of the material being photo­ graphed the photographer has followed a definite method in “sectioning” the material. It is customary to begin filming at the upper left hand comer of a large sheet and to continue from left to right in equal sections with small overlaps. If necessary, sectioning is continued again—beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. For any illustrations that cannot be reproduced satisfactorily by xerography, photographic prints can be purchased at additional cost and tipped into your xerographic copy.

From the presidency of Abe Lincoln to the taste of Ben anD Jerry’s Cherry Garcia, it commonly stretches to Fit anything we love, admire, or like. So what on earth Do we mean by Great Books? The everyday answer is a book that someone you know can’t wait to talk about. More than once, you’ve surely heard someone say, “I’ve just reaD a great book on the Galapagos / Fly Fishing/ golF / bridge / Alzheimer’s / investing / sex after sixty.” But no such book is ever likely to become a capital-letter Great Book. Why? Because it won’t make the Western Canon. Strictly speaking, the Canon is the set of writings—from Genesis to Revelation—that are ofFicially recognized as books of the Bible. In 1919, a secular version of the Biblical canon emerged when a Professor of English named John Erskine taught a course at Columbia University on what he considered the Great Books oF the Western Canon—a list of 100 primary works of Western literature. Though Erskine soon decampeD for the University oF Chicago, Columbia still oFFers a great books course, and a Few years ago it was taken anD enthusiastically describeD by DaviD Denby in Great Books: My Adventures with Homer, Rousseau, Woolf and Other IndestructiBle Writers of the Western World (Simon & Schuster, 1997).
