Toen wij de eerste keer met Tycho op reis wilden - hij was toen 10 maanden - kwamen er alle mogelijke betuttelaars in de weer. L. kwam zelfs met haar psychiater aandragen, vol afgrijzen over het te kwetsen zieleheil en dat het kind er nog jaren later moeilijkheden van zou ondervinden. Op die tientallen die zich vol bezorgdheid keren tegen het meenemen van kinderen op reis, is er nooit één die problemen ziet in het achterlaten bij verzorgers of in een tehuis. Ik weet niet, misschien is dat bij elk kind weer anders, maar wat mij zelf betreft ondervind ik nu, na bijna dertig jaar, de herinnering aan het 4 weken verzorgd achtergelaten zijn in een Hervormd Weeshuis, als een niet verdwenen aantasting. Een week voordat mijn jongste broer werd geboren, op mijn zevende verjaardag, werden mijn andere broer en ik door een tante die werksterdiensten verrichtte in de familie naar het Hervormde Weeshuis gebracht in de Volkerakstraat. Ik herinner me van de eerste dag een man met lange witte baard, de directeur, manden met potten jam, kinderen joelend op de binnenplaats. De kinderen droegen een uniform in de stijl van de tekeningen van Jetses, in de boekjes van Ot en Sien, mode van ±40 jaar tevoren. De meisjes droegen lang haar tot op de schouders (kort was toen mode), de jongens waren kaal met een kuifje van voren.

  • An Arthur Berger
    AN ARTHUR BERGER New World Records 80360 RETROSPECTIVE with GILBERT KALISH, piano JOEL KROSNICK, cello CHRISTOPHER OLDFATHER, piano JOEL SMIRNOFF, violin DAVID STAROBIN, guitar Members of the Boehm Quintette Arthur Berger is a stalwart of the American concert tradition. No popularizer, he has for some fifty years been producing sturdily crafted pieces that spring from the mixed lineage of Stravinsky, Schoenberg, and Copland. Yet the style is all his own. At times it readily appeals. Always it challenges. Born in 1912 and raised in the Bronx, Berger first studied at City College and New York University, later at the Longy School of Music and at Harvard. He completed his formal education with Nadia Boulanger in Paris. From 1939 to 1943 he taught at Mills College and Brooklyn College, then began writing music criticism for the New York Sun and, principally, the New York Herald-Tribune. In 1953 Berger joined the faculty of Brandeis University; he has also taught at Harvard and the Juilliard School, and is currently on the faculty of the New England Conservatory. Like many of his composer contemporaries, Berger has been an important and prolific writer. In addition to his stints as a journalist, he founded two quite different periodicals, each an outgrowth of the notion of a "little magazine" directed to a special public. The first, The Musical Mercury, was started in 1934 by Berger and Bernard Herrmann--the man later famous as a Hollywood film composer. Although The Musical Mercury included some articles about new works, it mostly explored European compositions of the past. The journal with which Berger is most closely identified, however, is Perspectives of New Music, begun with Benjamin Boretz in 1962.

  • Martino Was Spread Upon the Permanent Records of the Faculty
    At a meeting of the FACULTY OF ARTS AND SCIENCES on October 21, 2008, the following tribute to the life and service of the late Donald James Martino was spread upon the permanent records of the Faculty. DONALD JAMES MARTINO BORN: May 16, 1931 DIED: December 8, 2005 Donald Martino was one of the leading American composers of the twentieth century. Born in Plainfield, New Jersey, he began lessons on the clarinet and other wind instruments at the age of nine, and he remained a clarinetist all his life, even as he grew to be a many-sided musician, teacher, and, above all, composer of significant instrumental and vocal works. After attending Syracuse University, he did his graduate work at Princeton in the 1950s, where he studied with Roger Sessions and Milton Babbitt. Thereafter he taught at Princeton, Yale, the New England Conservatory of Music (where he was chairman of the Composition Department from 1969 to 1980), Brandeis University, and finally at Harvard, where he was the Walter Bigelow Rosen Professor of Music from 1983 until his retirement ten years later. He was active as a guest lecturer, and was Composer-in-Residence at Tanglewood, the Composers Conference, the Yale Summer School of Music, the Pontino Festival in Italy, the Atlantic Center for the Arts, the Ernest Bloch Festival, and the Festival Internacional de Música de Morelia, Mexico. His many commissions came from, among others, the Paderewski Fund; the Fromm, Naumburg, Koussevitzky, and Coolidge Foundations; and from the Chicago, Boston and San Francisco Symphonies, along with other performing organizations. In Florence, where he lived from 1954 to 1956 on a Fulbright scholarship, Martino studied with the eminent Italian composer Luigi Dallapiccola, and the blend of lyricism and rigor that Dallapiccola instilled into his own music may have formed a partial model for the direction of Martino’s mature works, which blend these features in a musical language of high originality and expressivity.
