    THE HYECHRA CLUB The narrator has had a lively interest in The Hyechka Club since its beginning and believes that its history merits recording and dmu- menting in The Chronicles of OkZuhoma, Members of the Club in the past have been interested and its members today are interested in building and supporting a city and a state as cultural centers in which to rear patriotic and Clod-fearing children worthy of the loftiest ideals. Instead of a brief history, this band of music lovers is entitled to a fdsized, two volume publication to report ad* quately all that they have given to the education of young people along cdtural lines and to the wealth of Tulsa and the State of Oklahoma as expressed in the leadership and influence of the known and unknown contributors. Looking over the names of world famous artists that have appeared on its early programs and in its annual Spring Festivals, the words of Warner Van Valkenburg are a fitting tribute and introduction even to this brief history of Tulsa's pioneer organization of music lovers :l "I AM MUSIC. "I am the hymns of the Christian Martyrs in the catacombs; I am the songs of thanksgiving of the kneeling Pilgrime; I am the fugues of Bach, and the oratorios of Handel and Haydn; I am the magic flute of Momrt; I am the immortal symphonies of Beethoven; I am the throbbing mee- sages of Schubert and Schumann; I am the nocturnes of Chopin and the folk melodies of Dvorak; I am the rhapsodies of Linzt and the music- dramas of Wagner; I am the voice of Peter Tchaikowski, crying in the wilderness; I am Brahms and Richard Straues, and Verdi, fulfilling the command of destiny; yea I have breathed upon the harps of MacDowell and Cadman, and have sung of a new world in the west.

  • Forgotten Splendour
    FORGOTTEN SPLENDOUR A Chronology of the North Shore Music Festival 1909 to 1939 by Andrew Cottonaro Beginning in 1909 and lasting until 1939, the North Shore Music Festival of Northwestern University was a significant musical and social event in the Chicago area. For a few days each Spring, the campus hosted a diverse body of performers in a series of grand concerts. Naturally, some of that era’s most eminent singers could be heard there. Their presence certainly helped to sell tickets and their artistry helped to sustain the festival as a popular and critical success. Now, sixty years later, the festival hardly even counts as a faded memory. To date, two books (in part), offer a general outline of the festival’s history, but both lack any detailed analysis of who appeared and what was actually sung. This is the first attempt to present a chronology of the vocal offerings (quite distinct from the orchestral offerings) at the festival. Northwestern University, the official sponsor of the festival, is located in Evanston, Illinois (USA). The town is a suburb of Chicago, directly north of the city and on the banks of Lake Michigan. Because of this geographic position, Evanston and the other cities of the area are called the North Shore, hence the origin of the festival’s name. Northwestern University was incorporated in 1850 and gradually won recognition for its academic excellence. The establishment of musical studies, however, was a tangled web of many failed efforts. In a final and desperate attempt to salvage musical education, the university’s board of trustees in 1891 appointed Peter Christian Lutkin (1858-1931) to direct musical studies, a post that he held until his death.

One New York press notice indicates that her rendering of the “Suicidio” from La Gioconda on a Man- hattan Sunday night concert “kept her busy bowing in recognition to applause for three or four minutes”. At La Scala she was cast with Battistini in Simon Boccanegra and created for that house in 1911 the Marschallin in their first Rosenkavalier.

  • Dream Melody Intermezzo: Naughty Marietta”-- Victor Herbert and His Orchestra (1911) Added to the National Registry: 2017 Essay by Alyce Mott (Guest Post)*
    “Dream Melody Intermezzo: Naughty Marietta”-- Victor Herbert and His Orchestra (1911) Added to the National Registry: 2017 Essay by Alyce Mott (guest post)* Victor Herbert Arthur Hammerstein Oscar Hammerstein I A Masterpiece Arises Victor Herbert’s 1910 “Naughty Marietta,” America’s finest operetta, contains the most famous 16-measure melody ever written by an American composer, “Ah, Sweet Mystery of Life.” That song was first available to the public as sheet music and then on a very early recording device: an Edison Blue Amberol Cylinder No. 1775, under the title, “Dream Melody Intermezzo,” recorded by The Victor Herbert Orchestra, under the baton of Herbert; it was made in January, 1911. The original of this American recording treasure is included in the National Recording Registry. The work is labeled an “intermezzo,” meaning “in the middle,” which refers to any composition which fits between other musical or dramatic entities, such as acts of a play, an opera or an operetta. It is normally a light instrumental composition and is complete, allowing it to stand alone. In the operetta “Naughty Marietta,” set in New Orleans in 1780, this intermezzo was used to cover the set change from the Act II, Scene 1, scenery of the Marionette Theatre, to the Act II, Scene II, scenery of the Jeunesse Dorée Club. The work lasts approximately 4:09 minutes. It is the only time during the operetta that the entire melody is heard before the Finale Ultimo. The music weaves throughout the entire operetta as Marietta struggles to find someone to finish the melody she hears in her mind.
