UGC History 1924 1995.Pdf BROTHERS IN SONG The History Of The University Glee Club of New Haven by Elliott G. Barske New Haven. CT 1995 GENESIS t was the year 1924, the Roaring Twenties were in full swing and Calvin Coolidge was getting ready to move into the White House. The hit songs of the year on Broadway and on the air waves of infant radio included IIndian Love Call, Fascinating Rhvthm, and Does The Soearmint Lose Its Flavor on The Bedoost Ovemi~t. Paul Whiteman's Orchestra introduced Rhaosodv In Blue in New York and Lady Be ~ a new Gershwin musical opened on The Great White Way. On the opera stage, Antonio Scotti celebrated his 25th anniversary with Tosca at the Met. And in Connecticut, the music world witnessed the birth of a new organization, The University Glee Club of New Haven. Perhaps spurred on by the nostalgia of group singing in World War I and memories of college glee club days, several men met at the home of Dr. Herbert Thoms on December 7, 1924 for the purpose offorming a male chorus in New Haven. Within a month the active membership mushroomed to forty and Marshall Bartholomew agreed to serve as the Director. By the time of the first concert on April 7, 1925 there were 49 men singing. The group represented a cross section of urban New Haven's business and professional society including five physicians, four educators, four insurance and real estate agents, two lawyers, two bankers, two engineers, and several working in manufacturing, accounting, and sales. They were the alumni of the 18 colleges and universities listed below. Amherst Harvard Trinity Brown JohnsHopkins Tufts California Lehigh Vermont Columbia Liverpool West.Point Cornell MIT Williams Dartmouth Pennsylvania Yale CHRONOLOGY 1920's The first University Glee Club concert was given at the Commercial High school auditorium in New Haven on Tuesday evening, April 7, 1925 under the direction of Marshall Bartholomew. Music included songs of England and Finland, spirituals and college student songs. Charles Kullman, later of Metropolitan Opera fame, was a member of the Club and a tenor soloist on the program. Quoting the New Haven Journal Courier's music critic in a review of this first concert -- "In the future, this highly promising organization will be built up into a large male chorus but as it stands now, there is scant room for improvement, so utterly satisfactory was last evening's concert." The second concert was given at Woolsey Hall on Saturday evening, Jan. 30, 1926, and was the first joint concert with the Choral Club of Hartford under the direction of Ralph Lyman Baldwin. The third concert was also joint with the Choral Club and this time presented at the Capitol Theatre in Hartford on Sunday, March 7, 1926. On Jan. 18, 1927, the UGC was assisted by members of the Yale Glee Club with some solo work by Lancelot P. Ross, Class of 1928, who later became nationally known on radio and in the movies as Lanny Ross. The first Christmas Concert which was to become an annual tradition was held on Monday, Dec. 19, 1927 but only three Christmas songs were on the program. Another UGC tradition was begun that evening \\ith the singing of Q Holv Night the solo part sung by Charles Kullman. 1 The UGC joined the Associated Glee Clubs of America and participated with 3700 other singers in a joint event at Madison Square Garden in New York City on May 24, 1929. There were 74 Glee Clubs in attendance representing 12 states. Marshall Bartholomew directed our Club from 1925 through the Spring of 1927 and in the Fall was succeeded by Mark Andrews. Barty had decided that his commitments to the Yale Glee Club and other activities at Yale precluded the time needed to work with the UGC. 1930's At the Christmas Concert in 1930, the guest artist was the rising star of the entertainment world, Lanny Ross, who sang two groups of songs including an arrangement by Marshall Bartholomew of an obscure American folk song. Just Kick The Dust Over Mv Coffin. On April 28, 1934, a mass chorus of the Associated Glee Clubs of America sang at the First Regiment Armory in New York, and part of the program was broadcast coast to coast on WEAF. The UGC was one of 51 glee clubs participating. Again in 1936 the Club traveled to New York to take part in another gigantic choral event with the AGCA carried by NBC throughout the country. The year 1935 marked the 300th anniversary of the founding of the Colony of Connecticut and one of the celebration events was the Tercentenary Concert in Yale Bowl on Saturday, June 1st. A chorus composed of 72 singing organizations included the UGC assisted and accompanied by the New Haven Symphony Orchestra. The Christmas Concert of 1936 saw the first appearance of the Trinity Church Boys Choir whose participation at Christmas continued for almost twenty years. On the same program our guest soloist was the renowned soprano Margaret Speaks. The Christmas Concert of Dec. 20, 1937 marked the return of charter member Charles Kullman as our guest artist. Mr. Kullman, an operatic tenor at the Met. had two solo groups on the program and also sang with the Club in Franz Schubert's The Omniootence. Mark Andrews, Director of the UGC for 12 years, died nine days prior to our Christmas Concert of 1939 and our original Director, Marshall Bartholomew, took over on short notice to conduct the Club in a sad but memorable concert with tenor James Melton of radio fame as the guest artist. We were fortunate to have Barty stay with us until the Spring of 1948. A resolution passed at a meeting on Dec. 12, 1939 read in part as follows -- "The members of the University Glee Club of New Haven mourn the loss of their leader, MARK ANDREWS. For twelve years his name and that of our club have been synonymous; in short, our Club was Mark Andrews. A creator of song, his works will keep fresh the memoJ)' of a life devoted to music and of a soul attuned to the infinite. Not our Club alone but the world has lost a gifted personality; for like his John Peel, 'he's gone far, far away'." The thirties came to a close with a Mammoth Glee Club Concert at the World's Fair in New York July 1-2, 1939 in which the UGC joined 6000 men from 150 Glee Clubs from all over the United States. 1940's As the decade of the Forties began, Europe was already enmeshed in World War II and the first regular concert of the War Years on May 6, 1940 had an international flavor as a 13-year-old boy prodigy, Heimo Haitto from Finland, was our guest artist and amazed the audience \\ith his virtuosity on the violin. The Yale Glee Club also joined us at this concert and two future members of the UGC, Elliott Barske and Wallace Viets. were singing \\ith the Elis. Previously in February, Haitto was to have made his American debut as the guest soloist at a major 2 concert in Carnegie Hall in New York for the benefi~ of the Finnish Relief Fund Due to wartime difficulties in overseas transportation, he was unable to arrive in time for the concert which was held as planned on February 5. Participating in this gala event were the University Glee Club of New York directed by Channing Lefebvre, the University Glee Club of New Haven and the Yale Glee Club directed by Marshall Bartholomew with Lanny Ross as the assisting soloist. Among the many prominent people supporting the concert as Patrons and Patronesses were Prescott S. Bush, Mrs. Andrew Carnegie, Mr. and Mrs. Wilbur Cross, Herbert Hoover, Whitelaw Reid, Mrs. James Roosevelt, and Sigmund Spaeth. In the Spring of 1941, there were two joint concerts with the Choral Club of Hartford, on April 18 in Bushnell Hall in Hartford and on April 22 in Woolsey Hall in New Haven. The Christmas Concert in 1941 took place only nine days following the attack on Pearl Harbor and already the ranks of the Club were being depleted by members leaving to serve in the Armed Forces. Eventually there were 30 members serving our country, many of whom were overseas. There was even an impact on our Woolsey Hall Concerts during the War when our printed programs carried detailed instructions to be followed in case of an Air Raid, such as "When alarm sounds remain seated Be Calm!" Right! On December 20, 1944, your historian sang in his first concert with the UOC and is celebrating his 50th anniversary with the Club during the present season of 1994-95. Extra-curricular events during wartime in which the Club participated were Pop Concerts with the New Haven Symphony at the New Haven Arena and the Yale Bowl and a War Bond Rally at Woolsey in 1945. Another in the series of joint concerts over the years with the Choral Club of Hartford was held on April 22, 1947 in which the principal soloist of the evening was Russell Mower. After the Spring of 1948. Marshall Bartholomew decided to step down as our Director in advance of his retirement from Yale, and in the Fall, Prof. Luther Noss, then Yale University Organist and Director of the Battell Chapel Choir, took over the baton of the UGC and was with us for two years. 1950's The first half of this decade was very unsettled insofar as conductors were concerned.

Marshall Bartholomew ’07s, in his unpublished manuscript A History of Music at Yale, remarked ‘the male quartet became a regular feature of Yale Glee Club concerts soon after the Civil War.’ 2 Even before the first Yale Glee Club was formed, close harmony had made its appearance on the Yale campus, as he records: In 1856, for example, there were informal singing groups which took fanciful titles unto them- selves, as similar groups do at present [the 1950s].We find the Beethoven Bummers - evidently pok- ing fun at the more serious Beethoven Society; also there were the Owls and the Four Sharps. 3 This tradition continued into the 1880s with other groups including the Midnight Caterwaulers of 1870 (a quintet), the Sing- 1 WHIFFENPOOF PRE-HISTORY yale glee club of 1865 ing Club of 1872 (a quartet), the Crows of 1872 (an octet), and the Offenbachanal- ORIGINS ians of 1874 (a quartet).

Jones B.M., Middle Tennessee State University, 2001 M.M., East Carolina University, 2007 Committee Chair: Earl Rivers, D.M.A. ABSTRACT Collegiate male glee clubs have flourished in the United States since the first glee club was established in 1858 at Harvard University. For more than 150 years men’s glee clubs have proliferated from predominately autonomous student-led social organizations singing of school pride and spirit to organizations of musical and artistic prominence. While many collegiate glee clubs still retain certain elements of a social and fraternal-like nature, faculty directors helped instill traditions of musical excellence through various artistic missions, initiatives, and endeavors. Published historical accounts pertaining to the rich histories associated with individual glee clubs, as well as the movement as a whole, are sparse, and continued research in this field is needed to enhance the historical contributions of the male choral arts.

  • In Memoriam: Robert Stevens Baker
    2005 march vol xiii · no 6 music · worship · arts Prismyale institute of sacred music common ground for scholarship and practice In Memoriam: Robert Stevens Baker Martin D. Jean It is with great sadness that we announce the death of our founding director, the renowned organist Dr. Robert S. Baker. Dr. Baker had been in failing health for some time and his family was with him when he died peacefully in his home Monday morning, January 24, 2005. He is survived by his son Jim, his daughter Martha, and their families. One of the iconic fi gures in the Institute’s history, Robert Baker, together with music historian Richard French, seminary chaplain Jeffery Rowthorn, and administrator Mina Belle Packer, made the pilgrimage in 1973 from New York City and Union Theological Seminary to begin a new Institute of Sacred Music at Yale. All of us here, and all of the nearly three hundred alums of the ISM, share in the rich legacy of Robert Baker’s visionary leadership and consummate musicianship. A memorial service was held on January 29 at Spring Glen Congregational Church in Hamden. A second memorial service will be held on Sunday, May 1 at 4 pm at First Presbyterian Church in New York, where Dr. Baker was for many years the organist and choir director. In addition, the Institute is planning a special event in celebration of Dr. Baker’s legacy on October 10, which we hope will be an occasion for alums to come together again in New Haven. Please mark your calendars and plan to join us.

  • 1 ABSTRACT William Sloane Coffin, One of the Most Influential And
    ABSTRACT William Sloane Coffin, one of the most influential and representative figures of the Protestant Liberalism movement has been the subject of the present research. The main aims of this project are to analyze the social and religious work of an important liberal Christian during the period 1960 -1990 in the history of the United States of America, as well as publicize his position and actions to achieve social justice by using his most important and famous works. This research registers his influence as pacifist and his actions at the front line defending the civil rights and some important social issues. As well as his life and his memorable written works in the first two chapters respectively, and a deep analysis of the social and religious work from his position as Christian this is detailed in chapter 4. The relationship he made between religion and politics; his work on controversial issues such as sexism, segregation, abortion, nuclear weapons, and the Vietnam War were also examined in chapters three and four. For being an ardent human rights defender, a passionate activist, and an eloquent critic against the Vietnam war, William Sloane Coffin, has been taken into consideration to be part of different analysis and used as an example to confront social and political problems that most part of the time are not examined.
