The Library of Congress Medium of Performance Thesaurus is a controlled vocabulary that will be used to describe music resources and is developed by the Music Library Association in conjunction with the Library of Congress. The objective of this study is to report on the current status of the LCMPT and to outline future steps which will allow the thesaurus to operate in a linked data environment. Four research questions examined the Simple Knowledge Organization System and its use with the LCMPT: the ways in which controlled vocabularies can be transformed into the Simple Knowledge Organization System format, the technologies and methods currently in use for this process, the effectiveness of these technologies and methods, and how the LCMPT can be most effectively converted into the Simple Knowledge Organization System format. Using existing documents, this qualitative study examined official World Wide Web Consortium documentation, the Open Metadata Registry, and was informed by work on the LCMPT performed at the Library of Congress. Tasks completed during an internship at the Library of Congress included discussion and planning for further LCMPT development and progress, development of the LCMPT Authority Data Elements, consideration of existing technologies and how they might be used in the development and deployment of LCMPT, conversion of existing LCMPT documentation into a more accessible format, research and documentation of the hierarchy of LCMPT, deployment of the LCMPT to a vocabulary space and element set space in the Open Metadata Registry, and consideration for future development of the LCMPT.

  • Ukrainian Original Music for Button Accordion: Development and Evolution
    DOI https://doi.org/10.36059/978-966-397-122-3/46-68 UKRAINIAN ORIGINAL MUSIC FOR BUTTON ACCORDION: DEVELOPMENT AND EVOLUTION Stashevskyi A. Ya. INTRODUCTION Modern button accordion music of Ukrainian composers, which is an integral part of the chamber and instrumental field of musical culture of the country, has intensively expanded the performing arts of button accordions to the level of professionalism of the leading musical and instrumental schools of academic tradition through its active development for many decades. But at the same time, musicology science in the field of folk instrumental art, which has been fruitfully developing recently and focuses its attention mainly on the issues of the theory of performing, does not often turn to the study of the problems of the repertoire development, in particular the various aspects of original creativity for folk instruments of the leading Ukrainian composers. The presence of its own original repertoire, on the one hand, and the correspondence of its qualitative professional and artistic aesthetic levels to the rules of the repertoire of leading chamber and instrumental genres on the other, occupies a significant place on the way of the academicisation of any musical and instrumental culture. Modern original music for the button accordion in this sense is no exception. Moreover, the revitalization of interest in button accordion as a concert instrument over the last decades by world-famous composers such as Sofia Gubaidulina, Mauricio Kagel, Ernst Krenek, Hans Henze, Krzysztof Penderecki, Luciano Berio and others, testifies to the special promising outlook of this instrument in contemporary musical art. 46 In addition, most of the works of the creative heritage of the leading Ukrainian composers in the field of concert button accordion music also belong to the pearls of world music literature in this genre.

Accord ion Jamboree or the past fourteen years on the Sunday after Easter, two or three dozen accordion players have gathered at the Chalet St. Moritz, a Swiss restaurant Fsurrounded by dairy farms just west of Middleton. In front of two or three hundred listeners, these men and women spend a long pleasant afternoon taking turns on stage at the Accordion Jamboree. For many years, Rudy Burkhalter, the patriarch of Swiss music in America, was master of ceremonies. The accordions' variety and appearance are striking: little one-row button boxes have big onion­ shaped handles on the stops; two-, three-, and four-row button boxes are encased in gleaming red plastic from Germany or intricate inlaid wood from Slovenia; piano keyboard accordions are bejeweled with rhinestones, with a pha­ lanx of rectangular stops labeled Trumpet, Clarinet, Musette; chromatic button accordions have a dizzying array of black and white dots flanking ribbed bel­ lows emblazoned with a kinetic diamond pattern; electronic cordovoxes are technical wonders running on electricity, not air, the bellows but vestigial reminders of their lineage; and a few other squeezeboxes are not even accor­ dions at all, but concertinas and a bandoneon. The players play only the southern Wisconsin sampling of the diverse ethnicities and musical styles of the accordion world: Swiss landlers, German and Slovenian polkas, Polish obereks, Finnish hoppwaltzes, Irish and Scottish jigs, Norwegian schottisches, French-Canadian reels, Italian operetta overtures, Czech waltzes, a few jazz numbers, and some country and western tunes.

  • The Life and Times of the Concertina: Stuart Eydmann
    The Life and Times of the Concertina: the adoption and usage of a novel musical instrument with particular reference to Scotland Stuart Eydmann The Open University 1995 Supervisors: Dr Peter Cooke & Dr Richard Middleton http://www.concertina.com/eydmann August, 2005 1 Introduction Background I first became interested in the concertina during the early 1970s when I acquired a second-hand instrument from a Glasgow music dealer and taught myself to play Scottish dance music on it. A number of local folk revival players, competitions at music festivals and authoritative performances and gramophone recordings by leading singers and groups backed my assumption that the concertina was primarily an instrument of the “folk traditions” of the British Isles. In 1982, a chance encounter with an elderly musician introduced me to other areas of concertina playing, including sacred music, bands, the music hall and many forms of popular music. It was clear that these pockets of musical activity were on the wane and, although they were seemingly at odds with my taste for traditional music and song, I set out to record the music and testimony of their musicians for posterity. My initial objective, therefore, was the protection, preservation and publicising of residual musical forms in a manner similar to the practice of “rescue archaeology”1 in my day to day work as a local authority conservation officer. This field work, complemented by library research and wider reading, led me to re- assess my view of the concertina as a “folk” instrument. It became

  • Composer's Guide to the Piano Accordion
    Composer’s Guide to the Piano Accordion Robert Young McMahan 2016 The accordion is classified as a “free-reed” instrument and is a highly virtuosic and expressive member of the keyboard family. Its sound is produced by pushing and pulling bellows back and forth with the left forearm, thus forcing air through internally mounted metal reeds inside two sectors attached on both ends of the bellows. One sector comprises the right-hand treble keyboard and the other the left- hand bass button board. These components and their capabilities will be discussed below. For more details on the accordion’s construction, functions, and good pictorial diagrams, see http://www.madehow.com/Volume-3/Accordion.html and http://www.accordion.co.uk/accordion-faq.html Right-hand Manual The most standard right-hand formats with chromatically arranged buttons include the widely used Chromatic Accordion, the Russian Bayan, and the Argentinean Bandoneon. Equally popular and universally used, however, is the Piano Accordion. Most of what is written for that instrument is adaptable for the most part to the button-type instruments. Furthermore, all types of concert level accordions sound essentially the same, have the same expressive capabilities via their bellows, and for all practical purposes, most of the same register switches (to be illustrated below). The standard written right-hand range of the Piano Accordion is, from the top to the bottom of the keyboard, slightly more than three octaves, beginning on F3 (F just below middle C) and extending to A6, though some models have somewhat wider ranges. The keys are slightly narrower than those of the piano and have a lighter action.

Squeezebox City recent Friday night in Milwaukee offers a glimpse at the full range of the city's Slovenian-style polka scene. Lojze Slak, the Earl Scruggs of the A Slovenian button accordion, was in town, on tour from Slovenia. At the Schwabenhof picnic grounds on the outskirts of the city, couples danced to the polkas and waltzes delivered by the ten accordions of the Chicago Slovene Button Box Club. In the West Allis neighborhood, in a bar across from the Allis Chalmers tractor plant, Gary Frank played piano ac;cordion, while at the Blue Canary Ballroom, concertina player Don Gralak, a Polish American, swung through tunes ranging from "Under the Double Eagle" to "The Theme from Benny Hill," all in the Slovenian polka style. Today, Slovenian polka includes two musical styles: a multi.ethnic contemporary music typified by Frankie Yankovic and the assertively ethnic music of the Slovenian button box clubs. The roots of both styles can be traced to the small nation in the eastern Alps that in 1991 became independent from Yugoslavia. Slovenian villages organized religious and secular choirs as well as marching and dance bands (March 1985[1989]).
