  • The Wiz Short FINAL
    media contact: erica lewis-finein brightbutterfly pr brightbutterfly[at]hotmail.com BERKELEY PLAYHOUSE CONCLUDES FIFTH SEASON WITH “THE WIZ” July 13-August 25, 2013 Book by William F. Brown Music and lyrics by Charlie Smalls Adapted from The Wonderful Wizard of Oz by L. Frank Baum Berkeley, CA (June 5, 2013) – Berkeley Playhouse closes its fifth season with the Tony Award-winning musical THE WIZ. Kimberly Dooley (Lucky Duck, Seussical, The Musical, Once On This Island) directs and choreographs this soulful re-imagining of L. Frank Baum’s family classic The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, featuring a cast of 46. THE WIZ plays July 13 through August 25 (Press opening: July 13) at the Julia Morgan Theater in Berkeley. For tickets ($17-60) and more information, the public may visit berkeleyplayhouse.org or call 510-845-8542x351. In THE WIZ, Dorothy gets swept away by a tornado and ends up in the land of Oz. There, she learns that the only way she can get home again is to see the magical Wiz in the Emerald City. Along the way, she meets a Scarecrow made of garbage who wants a brain, a Tin Man who wants a heart, and a Lion who wants courage, and together they set off down the Yellow Brick Road to seek help from the all-powerful Wiz. This stage classic about the power of believing in yourself features such soul-stirring songs as “Home,” “The Feeling We Once Had,” “If You Believe,” “No Bad News,” and “Ease On Down the Road.” THE WIZ opened on Broadway in 1975 and closed in 1979, after four years and 1,672 performances.

  • The Persistence of Parody in the Music of Peter Maxwell Davies
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Insight - University of Cumbria The Persistence of Parody in the Music of Peter Maxwell Davies Richard E McGregor It’s all about time. Indeed there is not a single piece of musical composition that is not in some way about time. And for Davies the manipulation of time is rooted in his understanding of late Medieval and early Renaissance musical techniques and practices refracted through post 12-note pitch manipulation. In this article I take to task the uncritical use of terminology in relation to the music of Peter Maxwell Davies. Though my generating text is the quotation from John Warnaby’s 1990 doctoral thesis: Since parody is implied in the notion of using pre-existing material as a creative model, it can be argued that, as traditionally understood, it is rarely absent from Maxwell Davies’s music[1] this is in no wise a criticism of Warnaby for whom I have much respect, and especially his ability to be able to perceive patterns, trends and unifying features between works and across extended periods of time. Rather, it is a commentary on particular aspects of Davies’s music which are often linked together under the catch-all term ‘parody’: EXAMPLE 1: Dali’s The Persistence of Memory[2] I take as my starting point the painting The Persistence of Memory by Salvador Dali, a painting which operates on a number of levels, the most obvious, because of the immediate imagery, being that is has something to do with time.

  • POPS Concert 5.31.19 | 7:00 PM
    by Lauren Gubler CVHS Instrumental Music Presents POPS Concert 5.31.19 | 7:00 PM Good Evening! Few experiences are as captivating as going to Broadway and seeing a live musical, where dancing, singing, acting and stage craft come together to provide a moving experience for the audience. Whether it is seeing Tony and Maria explore the other side of the American dream, or governess Maria keeping kids distracted during the Nazi occupation of Austria, or even seeing a person with social anxiety trying to fit in, musicals have a way of transporting us out of our day-to-day reality and into another world, where wondrous feats of artistry occur. Tonight the Crescenta Valley High School Instrumental Music Program presents a concert filled with songs from musicals. It’s an eclectic collection with songs from classic musicals like The King and I and Porgy and Bess, as well as movie musicals such as The Wizard of Oz, West Side Story and The Wiz. We have music from some modern classics such as Cats, Phantom of the Opera and Les Misérables, as well as the recent Broadway smash Dear Evan Hansen. Our students have had another exemplary year. We started with the Marching Band placing 4th in their competitive division in CSBC with The Planets, earning numerous High Music, High Auxiliary, and High Percussion awards. Then Concert Band, String Orchestra and Symphony Orchestra all earned Superiors at SCSBOA Regionals during Festival season. In fact, one judge expressed that she had not heard a high school Symphony Orchestra better than ours in her vast years of judging! Our Jazz Band, rebuilding due to a large senior class last year, didn’t skip a beat and ended up earning Superiors at its last few festivals.

  • Time Line by Clare Mclean-Wilson
    Time Line By Clare McLean-Wilson 1615 Champlain and the Recollet Missionary Father LeCaron are the first white men to visit the native people that live in what will become Grey County. 1815 Captain Owen, in his ‘little survey schooner’ discovers the harbour that will later be named Owen Sound. 1818 The first native treaty is struck. For the ‘yearly payment for ever of twelve hundred pounds of currency in goods at Montreal Prices’ the land covered by Osprey, Collingwood, Artemesia, Euphrasia and St. Vincent, approximately one million five hundred and ninety two acres, is relinquished by its native occupants. 1833 Charles Rankin comes to survey and lay out townships in “the Wild Land beyond the Simcoe district”. 1835 Tarvas Indians from Wikwemikog and Pottawattamies from the State of Wisconsin join the Ojibway people of this area after their land is given to the Government of the United States. 1836 The Sauking Treaty takes “in the land in the County of Grey from the west of the Townships of Euphrasia and St. Vincent to a line directly west of Owen Sound and extending south from that line probably over all the remainder of the county.” Except Sarawak and Keppel, all of the future Grey County is in white hands. 1841 July 6, the first post office in Grey County is opened in St. Vincent Township. 1848 First year that what will be Grey County has an election for a member of the Provincial Legislative Assembly. 1849 First horse brought to Grey County. It was white and belonged to Arthur Hill Rigland Mulholland, a clergyman.

  • Dissertation Final Corrected
    FROM PENCIL TO PERFORMANCE: The creative nexus of arranging, orchestration and music direction in works of contemporary pop/rock musical theatre BRYAN SCHIMMEL 8300995 A thesis submitted to the Faculty of Humanities University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg in fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of Master of Music Final Corrected Submission 22 September 2014 ABSTRACT In the art form of musical theatre, available literature on the creative musical aspects of musicals has focused primarily on the composers and/or lyricists; their works having been extensively analysed and documented. There is, however, comparatively less literature and documentation on the processes that guide the transformation of the theatre composer’s work to an eventual performance embracing arranging, orchestration and music direction. This dissertation explores these practices from two perspectives – the creative and the recreative. First, from the creative perspective, I challenge Joseph P. Swain who makes a compelling case for composition as a tool of dramaturgy in his book The Broadway Musical: A Critical and Musical Survey (2002). I contest that his argument cannot hold true for pop/rock musicals in which the scores are comprised of pre-existing popular music that was not originally or intentionally composed for the stage. In order to understand how music functions as a dramatic element in musical theatre, it must follow that all collaborative creative forces that contribute to this music must be evaluated in a holistic manner. Dramaturgy contextualises and elucidates storytelling and artistic vision. While Swain has postulated that composition is an element of dramaturgy, I offer the notion that since arranging and orchestration contextualise and elucidate the composition they therefore cannot be excluded as dramaturgical devices.
