  • Solomon and Sinatra: the Song of Songs and Romance in the Church Robert Case a Sunday School Class Faith Presbyterian Church Tacoma, Washington 2016
    1 Solomon and Sinatra: The Song of Songs and Romance in the Church Robert Case A Sunday School Class Faith Presbyterian Church Tacoma, Washington 2016 Part 3 There are a multitude of biblical themes expressed by non-believing Jewish songwriters in the American Songbook, but one fine example for our purposes in this class is the theme of: no Sex before marriage “Love and Marriage” In 1955 Jimmy Van Heusen (a Methodist) with Jewish lyricist Sammy Cahn wrote “Love and Marriage” which was introduced (ironically) by Frank Sinatra in the television production of Thornton Wilder's Our Town. It is the biggest hit to ever come out of a television special. In 1956, the song, "Love and Marriage" won the Emmy Award for Best Musical Contribution from the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences. The Cahn inspired clever lyrics euphemistically call “sex” “love” and claim that mom told dad you can’t have sex (“love”) without marriage. The song was used as the theme song for the long-running (1987–97) FOX television sitcom Married... with Children. Additionally, the song has been used in several national commercial campaigns. “Love and marriage, love and marriage, go together like a horse and carriage. This I tell you brother you can't have one without the other. Love and marriage, love and marriage, it's an institute you can't disparage. Ask the local gentry and they will say it's elementary. Try, try, try to separate them it's an illusion Try, try, try, and you will only come to this conclusion.

    March 10, 2013 THE SOCIOLOGY OF AMERICAN POPULAR MUSIC (SOAP) UNIT 3 NOTES Rock and Roll 1 March 10, 2013 ROCK 'N' ROLL IN A HISTORICAL AND SOCIAL CONTEXT Changes in the 1940s-1950s: Beginnings of Desegregation and Expanded American World View - in the years following WWII, returning veterans represented a wide range of races and ethnicities - President Harry Truman desegregated the U.S. Armed Forces in 1948, the beginning of the government's total desegregation at all levels of society - many returning soldiers brought brides home with them from overseas - many GIs began to share their broader world view, discoveries, and experiences with their friends and families - these factors contributed to a subtle but growing interest in other cultures - Americans were now becoming "more worldly," more accepting of people from backgrounds other than their own The Booming Postwar Economy - economy was strong in the U.S. after the war, and there was a growing belief that education was the key to future success - federal govt. responded in two important ways: 1) "GI Bill" was passed, providing funds to support veterans financially as they pursued their education; 2) federal and state funds set aside to build colleges/universities - there was a philosophical shift to providing higher education opportunities for all people, regardless of socioeconomic class - combination of a thriving economy and memories of the dreary, demoralizing Great Depression of the 1930s reinforced a collective hope in 1950s' adults to create a better world and future for their

    ABBEY'S BOOKSHOP - NEW RELEASES - MAY 2014 Title Author Bind Price Description ABBEY'S CHOICE Power Failure: The Philip Chubb Tp $29.99 One of the most bitterly contested political issues of recent times has been climate Inside Story of change, and how - or indeed, whether - Australia should act to mitigate its effects. Climate Politics Different policy approaches have been developed and discarded by both major parties. Under Rudd and The leaders who promoted or blocked these attempts have themselves become casualties. Gillard According to some observers, Australia's dependence on coal makes climate policy failure inevitable. Philip Chubb interviews the key political figures in the struggle, including Julia Gillard, Wayne Swan, Greg Combet and Penny Wong. He examines the tenacity of fossil fuel interests and he analyses the political strategies employed by prime ministers Rudd and Gillard as they tried to overcome the structural obstacles created by Australia's carbon-intensive economy. The result of these investigations is Power Failure, a compelling study of Australian leaders' successes and failures in climate policy, and the strategies they must employ for the future. The Girl Who Saved Jonas Tp $29.99 As delightfully wry and witty as his bestselling debut, 'The Hundred-Year-Old Man Who the King of Sweden Jonasson Climbed Out the Window and Disappeared', this is a tale of how one young woman's attempt to change her future ends up changing everything. On 14th June 2007, the King of Sweden disappears. In 1994 South Africa dismantles six missiles, developed during its brief nuclear weapons programme. In 1961 Nombeko Mayeki is born in a Soweto shack.

In the creation and production of The Complete Works of Stephen Sondheim [abridged], I showcased factual insight on one of the most prolific writers of musical theatre and infused it with comedy in order to educate and create appeal for Stephen Sondheim’s works, especially those lesser known, to a wider theatrical audience.

  • A New Dawn for Hair by Richard Zoglin
    Back to Article Click to Print Thursday, Jul. 31, 2008 A New Dawn for Hair By Richard Zoglin I never saw the original production of Hair, but I did catch the show a couple of years after its 1968 Broadway debut, when the touring company came to San Francisco. I was a student at Berkeley, and I would occasionally take a break from dodging tear gas in Sproul Plaza to usher for plays in the city. It was a good deal: students could spend half an hour helping fat cats find their way to their orchestra seats and, after the curtain went up, take any empty seat for free. Except that the night I saw Hair, the house was full, so the ushers had to sit on the aisle steps in the balcony. Which turned out to be the perfect way to experience the celebrated "tribal rock musical" that brought the communal spirit of the '60s youth culture to Broadway for the first time. It was the greatest night of my theater life. Well, maybe not quite. But allow a baby boomer his memories. (To be honest, I probably didn't call them fat cats either.) And allow Hair--or so even some professed fans of the show have pleaded--to remain in the mists of '60s nostalgia. After a flop 1977 Broadway revival and a not-much-more-successful 1979 movie version directed by Milos Forman, the feeling seemed to harden that the Age of Aquarius was over and trying to bring it back would look hopelessly out of touch, even silly, in this cynical new millennium.

  • Sounding Sentimental: American Popular Song from Nineteenth-Century Ballads to 1970S Soft Rock Emily Margot Gale Vancouver, BC B
    Sounding Sentimental: American Popular Song From Nineteenth-Century Ballads to 1970s Soft Rock Emily Margot Gale Vancouver, BC Bachelor of Music, University of Ottawa, 2005 Master of Arts, Music Theory, University of Western Ontario, 2007 A Dissertation presented to the Graduate Faculty of the University of Virginia in Candidacy for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Music University of Virginia May, 2014 © Copyright by Emily Margot Gale All Rights Reserved May 2014 For Ma with love iv ABSTRACT My dissertation examines the relationship between American popular song and “sentimentality.” While eighteenth-century discussions of sentimentality took it as a positive attribute in which feelings, “refined or elevated,” motivated the actions or dispositions of people, later texts often describe it pejoratively, as an “indulgence in superficial emotion.” This has led an entire corpus of nineteenth- and twentieth-century cultural production to be bracketed as “schmaltz” and derided as irrelevant by the academy. Their critics notwithstanding, sentimental songs have remained at the forefront of popular music production in the United States, where, as my project demonstrates, they have provided some of the country’s most visible and challenging constructions of race, class, gender, sexuality, nationality, and morality. My project recovers the centrality of sentimentalism to American popular music and culture and rethinks our understandings of the relationships between music and the public sphere. In doing so, I add the dimension of sound to the extant discourse of sentimentalism, explore a longer history of popular music in the United States than is typical of most narratives within popular music studies, and offer a critical examination of music that—though wildly successful in its own day—has been all but ignored by scholars.

  • Ballad Opera in England: Its Songs, Contributors, and Influence
    BALLAD OPERA IN ENGLAND: ITS SONGS, CONTRIBUTORS, AND INFLUENCE Julie Bumpus A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF MUSIC August 7, 2010 Committee: Vincent Corrigan, Advisor Mary Natvig ii ABSTRACT Vincent Corrigan, Advisor The ballad opera was a popular genre of stage entertainment in England that flourished roughly from 1728 (beginning with John Gay's The Beggar's Opera) to 1760. Gay's original intention for the genre was to satirize not only the upper crust of British society, but also to mock the “excesses” of Italian opera, which had slowly been infiltrating the concert life of Britain. The Beggar's Opera and its successors were to be the answer to foreign opera on British soil: a truly nationalistic genre that essentially was a play (building on a long-standing tradition of English drama) with popular music interspersed throughout. My thesis explores the ways in which ballad operas were constructed, what meanings the songs may have held for playwrights and audiences, and what influence the genre had in England and abroad. The thesis begins with a general survey of the origins of ballad opera, covering theater music during the Commonwealth, Restoration theatre, the influence of Italian Opera in England, and The Beggar’s Opera. Next is a section on the playwrights and composers of ballad opera. The playwrights discussed are John Gay, Henry Fielding, and Colley Cibber. Purcell and Handel are used as examples of composers of source material and Mr. Seedo and Pepusch as composers and arrangers of ballad opera music.

  • Sondheim's Didactic Nature and Its Effects On
    DeLong 1 Darcie DeLong November 29, 2012 Comp 211 Dr. Hoover Careful the Things You Say: Sondheim’s Didactic Nature and its Effects on Community Stephen Sondheim is a well-known, award-winning musical theatre composer and lyricist. He has written the music and lyrics for 18 Broadway productions as well as songs for T.V. and movies. He has won seven Tony Awards, an Academy Award, seven Grammys, a Pulitzer Prize and a Laurence Olivier Award. His prolific career began in 1954 when he wrote the lyrics for West Side Story alongside composer Leonard Bernstein. His first musical as both composer and lyricist was A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum. From then on, Sondheim shaped his musicals according his own creative vision. He was among the first to write a concept musical, or a musical in which “there is a solid storyline but all major elements of these shows are linked in some way to the central subject” (Kenrick). This means the plot isn’t necessarily about events taking place but the cause or effect of those events on human beings. Another important aspect of Sondheim’s musicals is his didactic writing. Sondheim’s didactic nature dictates his structural form in many ways. His music, lyrics and characters are all affected by his didactic nature. Didactic theatre is uncommon; many composers’ chief goal is to entertain. For example Andrew Lloyd Webber’s musicals are famous and even those who aren’t musical theatre enthusiasts find his work entertaining. Nothing about Webber’s shows challenges an audience member’s world view or moral principles.
