Chapters 1 and 2, published as separate articles in 2014 and 2015, now somewhat revised, are heavily indebted to Grant James Klausman’s unpublished PhD thesis, “A History of the University of Colorado College of Music, 1877-1951,” submitted to the Graduate School of the University of Colorado and approved in 1967, as well as the fi rst of two monumental historical volumes by William E. “Bud” Davis, entitled Glory Colorado!, which covers university events from 1858 to 1963. (The second volume published in 2007 brings this account to 2000.) These opening chapters take us from the early days of the University (when the entire institution was housed within a single building), before any formal music department existed, up through the end of Rowland Dunham’s tenure as leader of the College of Music in 1951. In 1920 President George Norlin, with the support of the board of regents and spurred by the activities of music director Frank Chace, formally announced the creation of a “College of Music,” with the promise of increased enrollments and an expanded curriculum, which followed in short order. Chapter 3 commences with the long and productive deanship of Warner Imig, Dunham’s immediate successor, a fi gure who * Sister Mary Dominic Ray, the original founder of the AMRC, achieved offi cial recognition for the center from her home institution, Dominican College, San Rafael, California in 1967. In 1989, as she neared retirement, the AMRC was moved to Colorado. xiivi Music at the University of Colorado since the mid-1930s had become familiar to students, colleagues and Boulder townspeople alike through his ebullient choral conducting and robust baritone voice—as both a singer and public announcer. Chapter 4 describes the transition in leadership across the university as a whole and attempts to place the College of Music and the University of Colorado into the larger picture of American academic culture in the fi nal quarter of the twentieth century and the beginning of the twenty- fi rst. The fi nal pages summarize recent developments. These chapters, without attempting to be exhaustive, introduce a cast of infl uential characters and draw attention to several signifi cant landmarks, noting their relationship to the wider context of music-making in American institutions of higher education over the last century. The University of Colorado College is both typical and distinctive in its position among schools of music across the country. Its growth in the heart of the West, nestled in the foothills of the Rocky Mountains, claims our attention for many reasons that I hope will become clear as this story is told. The entire book has come about with the ready assistance of many individuals, whose sage advice and remarkable memories have made the compilation of it a pleasure. Thank you, Dean and Ellen Boal, Chris and Margot Brauchli, Barbara Brenton, Eileen Cline, Marty Coffi n Evans, Charles Eakin, Bill Elliott, Robert Fink, Robert Fleisher, James Gentry, Caryl Kassoy, David Korevaar, Amanda Lopez, Rick Masters, Daniel Sher, Julianne Steinhauer. Thanks are also due to many faculty friends and co-workers at the University of Colorado Boulder who provided both information and copious technical assistance: James Austin, Jessie Bauters, Joan Braun, Steve Bruns, Carlo Caballero, Andrew Cooperstock, Alejandro Cremaschi, John Davis, Andrew Garland, Gregory Gentry, Sabrina Green, John Gunther, Eric Harbeson, Peggy Hinton, Mike Johnston, David Korevaar, Don McKinney, Martina Miranda, Mutsumi Moteki, Jeremy Reger, Matthew Roeder, Brenda Romero, Daniel Silver, Elizabeth Swanson. Susan Thomas, current director of the AMRC, and her assistant Eric Hansen have been with this project every step of the way. Hansen’s contribution to this volume has been absolutely crucial; I deeply appreciate his commitment to the work. Mona Lambrecht, curator of the collections at the CU Heritage Center, and David Hays, Greg Robl, Walker Sampson, and Jennifer Sanchez at the Special Collections, Archives, and Preservation division of the University of Colorado Libraries, have rapidly responded to my every request. Wendy Hall and her staff at Boulder’s Carnegie Library for Local History gave indispensable aid on too many occasions to count. Important research tasks were made at the beginning of this study by my students, now CU graduates, Abigail Bernales and Jessica Erbe. Other friends near and far have smoothed the process by improving my computer skills and assisting in proofreading. I am especially grateful to James and Mary Magee. Mark Schroder and A Brief History xiiivii Robin Powers have brought an elegant professional touch to the book’s production. Dean Robert Shay graciously provided the fi nancial resources to bring this product to completion. 1 Music in the Early Years, 1882-1919 he mining settlement of Boulder was organized as a town in 1859. A rough- and-ready creekside encampment, it sprang up and rapidly increased in T size with the report of the discovery of gold in the nearby foothills. As the short-lived “gold rush” subsided and the likelihood of quick riches faded, many new residents who found the region along the Boulder Creek to their liking—and the nearby Arapahos unthreatening—turned to farming, ranching and raising families. The fi rst school building erected in Colorado was reportedly located in the town of Boulder, thus boosting its early reputation as a frontier town that nevertheless placed high value on learning. On October 31, 1861, the fi rst territorial legislature of Colorado chose Boulder, over seven other towns that sought the prize, as the site for the future University of Colorado. Of course, assigning the university to Boulder was not the same as providing the resources needed to actually build a school, and the University would not open for business offi cially for another sixteen years, the year after Colorado achieved statehood in 1876. Until 1884, the entire college—all classrooms, a chapel, the residence of the President Joseph Sewall and his family, and housing for the building’s caretaker and wife— were located in a single solitary building, now known as Old Main. In the words of Jane Sewall, the president’s daughter, her family’s fi rst impression of the University was of . a huge brick building topped by a cupola, rising in the distance. It loomed before us gaunt and alone in the pitiless clear light. No tree nor shrub nor any human habitation was in sight. Vast expanses of rock and sagebrush were its only surroundings.1 2 Music at the University of Colorado Old Main, circa 1876-77 During the fi rst years of the university the instruction on off er was devoted chiefl y to preparing the few dozen admitted students to become teachers to supply public elementary and secondary schools. Informal musical activities took place among residents of Old Main, and the prospects for more music were increased with the acquisition of a square piano for the chapel in December 1882; student singing was promptly added to daily services. Formal instruction in music commenced a few months later when the board of regents allowed a “musical department” to be created. This modest eff ort was short lived—the fi rst instructor R. L. Kent apparently failed to please—and

  • Horatio William Parker (Geb. Auburndale, Massachusetts, 15
    Horatio William Parker (geb. Auburndale, Massachusetts, 15. September 1863 — gest. Cedarhurst, New York, 18. Dezember 1919) Konzert für Orgel und Orchester es-moll op. 55 (1902) I Allegro moderato - Andante p. 1 II Allegretto, ma ben moderato p. 28 III Allegro moderato, molto risoluto - Più mosso p. 37 Vorwort Parker war einer der großen amerikanischen Komponisten und Musikpädagogen. Zunächst hatte er bei seiner Mutter Isabella G. Parker, einer Organistin, seine musikalische Früherziehung erhalten. Dann studierte er in Boston bei John Orth (1850-1932) Klavier, bei Stephen A. Emery (1841-91) Theorie und bei George W. Chadwick (1854-1931) Komposition. Daraufhin begab er sich nach Deutschland, wo er 1882-85 in München bei Joseph Rheinberger (1839-1901) in die Lehre ging. Zurück in den Vereinigten Staaten ab 1886, hatte er zunächst in New York verschiedene Stellen als Pädagoge und Organist inne. 1893 ging er nach Boston, wo er Organist und Chormeister an der Trinity Church wurde. Mit der Uraufführung des Oratoriums Hora Novissima, seines bei weitem erfolgreichsten Werks, am 3. Mai 1893 in New York wurde er berühmt. 1894 wurde er Professor an der Yale University, wo er 1904 zum Dekan der Music School gewählt wurde. Zu seinen zahlreichen Schülern zählte Charles Ives (1874-1954) , der ihn weiterhin hoch schätzte, nachdem er die traditionellen Begrenzungen der Tonsprache weit hinter sich gelassen hatte. Um die Jahrhundertwende leitete Parker Aufführungen eigener Werke in England (Hora Novissima op. 30 beim Worcester Festival am 14. September 1899, A Wanderer’s Psalm op. 50 als Auftragswerk des Hereford Festival am 13. September 1900 und den dritten Teil seiner Legend of Saint Christopher op.

  • UBC High Notes Newsletter of the School of Music at the University of British Columbia
    UBC High Notes Newsletter of the School of Music at the University of British Columbia Fall 2012 Director’s Welcome Welcome to the fourteenth edition of High Notes, celebrating the recent activities and major achievements of the faculty and students in the UBC School of Music! I think you will find the diversity and quality of accomplishments impressive and inspiring. A major highlight for me this year is the opportunity to welcome three exciting new full-time faculty members. Pianist Mark Anderson, with an outstanding international reputation gave a brilliant first recital at the School in October.Jonathan Girard, our new Director of the UBC Symphony Orchestra, and Assistant Professor of Conducting, led the UBC Symphony Orchestra in a full house of delighted audience members at the Chan Centre on November 9th. Musicologist Hedy Law, a specialist in 18th-century French opera and ballet is, has already established herself well with students and faculty in the less public sphere of our academic activities. See page 4 to meet these new faculty members who are bringing wonderful new artistic and scholarly energies to the School. It is exciting to see the School evolve through its faculty members! Our many accomplished part-time instructors are also vital to the success and profile of the School. This year we welcome to our team several UBC music alumni who have won acclaim as artists and praise as educators: cellist John Friesen, composer Jocelyn Morlock, film and television composer Hal Beckett, and composer-critic-educator David Duke. They embody the success of our programs, and the impact of the UBC School of Music on the artistic life of our province and nation.

  • CHORAL PROBLEMS in HANDEL's MESSIAH THESIS Presented to The
    *141 CHORAL PROBLEMS IN HANDEL'S MESSIAH THESIS Presented to the Graduate Council of the North Texas State University in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For the Degree of MASTER OF MUSIC By John J. Williams, B. M. Ed. Denton, Texas May, 1968 PREFACE Music of the Baroque era can be best perceived through a detailed study of the elements with which it is constructed. Through the analysis of melodic characteristics, rhythmic characteristics, harmonic characteristics, textural charac- teristics, and formal characteristics, many choral problems related directly to performance practices in the Baroque era may be solved. It certainly cannot be denied that there is a wealth of information written about Handel's Messiah and that readers glancing at this subject might ask, "What is there new to say about Messiah?" or possibly, "I've conducted Messiah so many times that there is absolutely nothing I don't know about it." Familiarity with the work is not sufficient to produce a performance, for when it is executed in this fashion, it becomes merely a convention rather than a carefully pre- pared piece of music. Although the oratorio has retained its popularity for over a hundred years, it is rarely heard as Handel himself performed it. Several editions of the score exist, with changes made by the composer to suit individual soloists or performance conditions. iii The edition chosen for analysis in this study is the one which Handel directed at the Foundling Hospital in London on May 15, 1754. It is version number four of the vocal score published in 1959 by Novello and Company, Limited, London, as edited by Watkins Shaw, based on sets of parts belonging to the Thomas Coram Foundation (The Foundling Hospital).
