MVE-Feb14-14Qv6xr The MVEer Monthly February, 2014 February Highlights Learning – Everyone’s Wrong But Me Coaching by Rob Mance – Sunday and Monday, February 16 and 17 Banquet Highlights 2013 officially finishes out with the Annual Installation and Awards Banquet, held January 17th at the Westmoor Country Club. It was a night of celebration and memories as MVE members and Alumni gathered to reminisce about the past 25 years. Harry Hanson reminds of us of our beginnings. Charter member and “The Father” of the MVE Harry Hanson reminded us all of the values of what this great chorus was founded. Hard work, and a dedication to Musical Excellence. Events of the evening included the Installation of the 2014 Board of Directors, and the presentation of awards. Rookie Award – Presented to: Justin Fermenich Do It Award – Presented to: Dick Marcus President’s Award – Presented to: Randy Will The Russell A Foris Director’s Award – Presented to: Jim Ansay Barbershopper of the Year – Presented to: Jim Schmidt Please congratulate these recipients, as their hard work and dedication to the chorus are an inspiration to us all. Charter members of the Midwest Vocal Express Everyone’s Wrong But Me with Lyrics by Sammy Cahn and music by Saul Chaplin Sammy Cahn (pictured) was nominated for more than 30 Oscars and won four times. His songs were recorded by virtually every major singer. And he wrote some of the best known of all popular songs. He was born Samuel Cohen in New York on June 18, 1913 into a family of Jewish immigrants from Polish Galicia, and spent his childhood on the Lower East Side. He attended Seward Park High School. Early on, he learned to play the violin, and from the time he was fourteen he played in local Bar Mitzvah bands. While still in his teens, he played the violin in pit bands of burlesque houses. He became friendly with fellow band-member, pianist Saul Chaplin, and they began writing songs together. At first they wrote specialty numbers for vaudeville acts. Then, in 1935 they wrote "Rhythm is our Business" for the Jimmy Lunceford Band. Lunceford recorded it, and it became the Lunceford Band's theme song. In 1936 they had another success with "Until the Real Thing Comes Along". In 1937, they adapted "Bei Mir Bist Du Shon", which they mistakenly believed to be a Yiddish folk song--it was actually a modern Yiddish theater song by Sholom Secunda--into English for the then-unknown Andrews Sisters. The Andrews Sisters had a huge hit with the song, and Cahn and Chaplin were on their way. On June 12, 1937 Cahn and Chaplin published “Everyone’s Wrong But You.” It was written for the Grand New Terrace Revue, a production inspired by the Grand Terrace Revue that was a popular black musical show. It was recorded first by Chick Webb & his Orchestra with Ella Fitzgerald (Decca). Listen to her at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nk--mH92uSw In 1940, Cahn and Chaplin went to Hollywood. Soon they parted ways, and in 1942 Cahn began writing with Jules Styne. They would write songs together for 19 films between 1942 and 1951. Among their songs were "I've Heard That Song Before" (1942); "I'll Walk Alone"(1944); "Saturday Night is the Loneliest Night of the Week"(1944); "It's The Same Old Dream" (1947); and "Time After Time" (1947). In 1948, for the Doris Day film Romance on the High Seas, they wrote "It's Magic" and "Put 'em in a Box, Tie 'em with a Ribbon". In 1947, Styne and Cahn wrote a successful Broadway musical High Button Shoes. Other results of Cahn's collaboration with Styne were "Let It Snow, Let It Snow, Let It Snow", "There Goes That Song Again", "The Things We Did Last Summer", and "Guess I'll Hang My Tears Out To Dry". With music by Nicholas Brodzsky, Cahn wrote Mario Lanza's first hit "Be My Love"(1950). Working again with Jules Styne, Cahn won an Oscar for the title song of the 1954 film Three Coins in the Fountain. Sammy Cahn had been friendly with Frank Sinatra from Sinatra's early days with Tommy Dorsey, and many of his songs had been written for Sinatra's movies. In 1955, Sinatra introduced Cahn to composer Jimmy Van Heusen, beginning Cahn's last major collaboration. They wrote the title song for the 1955 Sinatra film The Tender Trap. Also in 1955, Cahn and Van Heusen wrote a TV musical version of Our Town, which starred Sinatra, Paul Newman, and Eva Marie Saint. It included "Love and Marriage". In 1957, Cahn and Van Heusen wrote "All The Way" for the Sinatra film The Joker Is Wild. It won Cahn his second Oscar. Several of Cahn and Van Heusen's songs were written as title songs for Sinatra albums, including 1957's "Come Fly With Me", 1958's "Only The Lonely", 1959's "Come Dance With Me" (and they also wrote that album's closing song, "The Last Dance"), 1959's "When No One Cares", and 1965's "September of My Years". They were the producers of Sinatra's 1959-60 television series. In 1959 came Sinatra's film A Hole in the Head, for which they wrote "High Hopes". The song won Cahn his third Oscar, and later (with a revised lyric) became John F. Kennedy's campaign song. In 1960, Sinatra recorded "The Second Time Around". Cahn won his fourth Oscar, and Van Heusen his third, in 1963 for "Call Me Irresponsible", from Papa's Delicate Condition. They wrote "My Kind of Town" for Sinatra's 1964 film Robin and the Seven Hoods. In 1965 Cahn and Van Heusen tried their hands at Broadway with the musical Skyscraper. The show was not a success, but it included "I'll Only Miss Her When I Think Of Her". Cahn long association with Frank Sinatra led to Sinatra's recording 89 of Cahn's songs, many of them more than once. He became a member of the Songwriters Hall of Fame in 1972. When his friend Johnny Mercer became ill, Mercer asked Cahn to take over as President of the Songwriters Hall of Fame. In 1974, Cahn did a one-man show on Broadway called Words and Music. He performed it again on tour numerous times in the years that followed. Sammy Cahn died in Los Angeles, California on January 15, 1993.

    this version failed to gain popularity. The lyrics were translated again in the mid-1950s by Arthur Kevess and Teddi Schwartz, and the song became well known with their text. It became especially popular after being recorded by Joan Baez in 1960, Donovan in 1965 and Patty Duke in 1968. Dana Dana has been translated into and recorded in many other languages including German, French, Japanese, Hebrew, and Russian. Teddy Bears’ Picnic “Teddy Bears' Picnic” is a song consisting of a melody composed by John Walter Bratton in 1907 and lyrics added by Irish songwriter Jimmy Kennedy in 1932. It remains popular as a children’s song, having been recorded by numerous artists over the decades. An early recording (probably the first) was made by the Black Diamond Band for Zonophone records in 1908, while the first vocal version was recorded in 1932 by Henry Hall and His Orchestra with Val Rosing singing Kennedy's lyrics. The Hall rendition was featured in the Dennis Potter drama ‘The Singing Detective’. Up until the early 1960s, the same recording was used for more than 30 years by BBC audio engineers to test and calibrate audio equipment. Its especially good recording quality and the large tonal range of the music made it ideal for checking the frequency response of audio equipment. BBC Engineering even had special vinyl pressings made to reduce any surface noise. Today's arrangement for 4 bassoons nicely captures the sense of fun and perky exuberance of the piece and, I'm sure, will transport many of us back to our childhood.

    Jewish Popular Music Joel E. Rubin Most scholars agree that there is no such thing as “Jewish music”, but rather there are numerous Jewish musical traditions that have developed in a diasporic setting over many centuries and a wide geographic range. This article will focus predominantly on music that has been created outside of Israel and is perceived to be Jewish by its creators and/or consumers, whether or not they are Jews. The question as to whether music created in the modern nation-state of Israel should be considered Israeli or Jewish, or both, is complex and will only be briefly discussed. Many popular Jewish performers sing in both Jewish and non-Jewish languages, dialects and styles, and service a multilingual and multi-religious public. Thus the line between “Jewish” and “mainstream” popular music can be fine. Genres of Jewish popular music have emerged that are predominantly secular as well as those that are religious, and they include music created by Ashkenazim (originally Central and East European Jews), Sephardim (originally Jews from the Iberian Peninsula), Mizrahim (originally Jewish from the Arabic-speaking lands) and other, smaller groups (e.g. Jews of Central Asia, Caucasus, India). Jewish musical traditions are often performed in settings not normally associated with popular music – the synagogue, and at weddings and family and holiday gatherings – yet aspects of popular musical culture are present in many of these traditions. Because of Jewish migration patterns in the wake of the upheavals of the twentieth century, it is common to find large communities living in a double diaspora, such as Bukharian Jews in Queens, New York or Syrian Jews in Brooklyn, New York.

  • Summer Stock Finale—Now with More Uptown
    Newsroom - Milken Archive of Jewish Music - Summer Stock Finale—Now with More Uptown The Archive Newsroom About Us Resources Milken Archive > Newsroom > Summer Stock Finale—Now with More Uptown July 16, 2014 Summer Stock Finale—Now with More Uptown While Second Avenue was a tenement haven for Jewish immigrants and the Catskills replaced the dachas of the old world, for many artists of Yiddish theater it was still the “uptown” allure of Broadway and Carnegie Hall that were the pinnacle of their American dream. In our “finale” installment of the Summer Stock streaming series, we spotlight Joseph Rumshinsky, the last of the Big Four composers. While the other three were content to entertain their core audience and occasionally cross over to the “uptown” world, Rumshinsky wanted to take all of Yiddish theater along. Rumshinsky wasn’t alone in his quest. In fact, he was so closely associated with Molly Picon and her husband Jacob Kalich, that they were known as The Three Musketeers of the East Side. Whether Rumshinsky, his colleagues and successors brought Second Avenue to the mainstream or the mainstream down to Second Avenue might be fodder for dissertations, but their lasting impact on theater, music and film is undeniable. Join us for one last session in the Catskills to learn more about Rumshinsky, stream some of his beautiful, ambitious songs (one of which Picon wrote the lyrics for) and watch Cantor Benzion Miller sing Rumshinsky and Tomashefsky’s version of Sh’ma Yisro’el. And if you missed any of the installments on Abraham Ellstein, Sholom Secunda, or Alexander Olshanetsky, you’ll find links for those, too.

  • Cover Art Yiddish Theatre V3 a MESSAGE from the MILKEN ARCHIVE FOUNDER
    Cover Art Yiddish Theatre V3 A MESSAGE FROM THE MILKEN ARCHIVE FOUNDER Dispersed over the centuries to all corners of the earth, the Jewish people absorbed elements of its host cultures while, miraculously, maintaining its own. As many Jews reconnected in America, escaping persecution and seeking to take part in a visionary democratic society, their experiences found voice in their music. The sacred and secular body of work that has developed over the three centuries since Jews first arrived on these shores provides a powerful means of expressing the multilayered saga of American Jewry. While much of this music had become a vital force in American and world culture, even more music of specifically Jewish content had been created, perhaps performed, and then lost to current and future generations. Believing that there was a unique opportunity to rediscover, preserve and transmit the collective memory contained within this music, I founded the Milken Archive of American Jewish Music in 1990. The passionate collaboration of many distinguished artists, ensembles and recording producers over the past fourteen years has created a vast repository of musical resources to educate, entertain and inspire people of all faiths and cultures. The Milken Archive of American Jewish Music is a living project; one that we hope will cultivate and nourish musicians and enthusiasts of this richly varied musical repertoire. Lowell Milken A MESSAGE FROM THE ARTISTIC DIRECTOR The quality, quantity, and amazing diversity of sacred as well as secular music written for or inspired by Jewish life in America is one of the least acknowledged achievements of modern Western culture.
