The American Bandmasters Association Past Presidents 1930-2000 by Victor William Zajec, 2000 (Chicago, IL, March 4, 1923 - Homewood, IL, January 26, 2005) Revised by Raoul F. Camus, ABA Historian, 2017 Past Presidents of the American Bandmasters Association by Victor Zajec, Honorary Life Member and ABA Historian, was published in 2000. It was as much a history of the organization as that of the past presidents, and contained prefaces by several ABA presidents—Bryce Taylor, Stanley F. Michalski, Jr., and Edward S. Lisk. Except for the biographies, most of this information is presently available on the ABA web site. The ABA Board of Directors decided against reprinting the book and chose to put the biographies of the past presidents on the website in chronological order Additional information provided by Vincent J.

Edwin Franko Goldman (Louisville, Kentucky, January 1, 1878 - New York, New York, February 21, 1956) Founder 1929, President 1930-32, Honorary Life President 1933 Edwin Franko Goldman, founder and conductor of the famous Goldman Band of New York, was the last of the great triumvirate that set the course of American band history. This trio of bandsmen, who entertained and inspired the American public for over eighty years, consisted of Patrick S. Gilmore (active 1868-1892), John Philip Sousa (active 1880-1932), and Goldman (active 1911-1956). Goldman was born on January 1, 1878, in Louisville, Kentucky, the son of David Henry and Selma Franko Goldman. His mother, a pianist, had been a member of the famous Franko family, a group of five talented children. This touring company of musicians inspired thousands of Americans, among them a very receptive John Philip Sousa. Following the early demise of his father, the young Edwin Franko Goldman began the study of the cornet at the age of nine with George Weigand at the Hebrew Orphan Asylum in New York. In 1892 he won a scholarship to the National Conservatory of Music, where he studied theoretical subjects and continued on cornet under Carl Sohst. He played first trumpet in the conservatory orchestra conducted by Antonin Dvořák (the conservatory director) and Victor Herbert (then a faculty member). Goldman became a professional musician in 1893, playing a variety of engagements around New York. Most notable among these were engagements with his famous uncle Nathan Franko, for whom he was librarian, contractor, and principal trumpet. In 1901 he became a member of the Metropolitan Opera orchestra, where he had a distinguished tenure of nine years under such conductors as Mahler, Mancinelli, Mottl, Toscanini, and Damrosch. After 1909 he taught privately and worked part-time for the Carl Fischer Music House in New York. In 1911 he organized the New York Military Band, which later became known as the Goldman Band. In 1918 Goldman planned, financed, initiated and conducted the summer band concerts, which later became famous in New York and were known to others through radio broadcasts. This series of concerts was given on the Green at Columbia University for five years. Later these concerts were moved to the Mall in Central Park, the Heights at New York University, and the Grove in Prospect Park. The Guggenheim family underwrote these successful concerts in 1924, and later by the Daniel and Florence Guggenheim Foundation. As a result of his close contact with city officials, Goldman conducted the New York Police Band briefly in 1918. Because of his Columbia association, he also conducted the Columbia University Band for several years, beginning in 1920. Edwin Franko Goldman received three honorary doctorates during his lifetime. In 1929 he founded the prestigious American Bandmasters Association, and served as its first president. Following Sousa, he was named the second Honorary Life President in 1933. Goldman composed a total of 150 works. In addition to works for band, he composed more than thirty-five cornet solos and several short works for piano and orchestra. He was the author of two books on band subjects, The Amateur Band Guide (1916), and Band Betterment (1934). He also wrote several cornet instruction books. The impact of Goldman’s life on succeeding generations of band musicians has been monumental, and his performances with the Goldman Band are legendary, which some believe have never been surpassed. Many of his marches are among the finest ever written, and several of his cornet solos and trios have become models. Over the years, Goldman promoted and inspired many original band compositions by prominent composers, both in America and abroad. He later commissioned a series of original band works by American and European composers that significantly enriched the available band repertoire. His influence on music education was enormous. He was known throughout America as a guest conductor of, and speaker on behalf of school bands. Goldman’s aid, encouragement, and inspiration were of immeasurable value in the growth of the American school band movement. Edwin Franko Goldman died at Montefiore Hospital in New York on February 21, 1956. Dr. Goldman’s press books, programs, and photographs relating to the annual summer concerts of the Goldman band and papers relating to his tenure as ABA president are in the ABA Research Center, Michelle Smith Performing Arts Library at the University of Maryland. 2. Charles O’Neill (Duntocher, near Glasgow, Scotland, August 31, 1882 - Quebec City, Canada, September 9, 1964) Charter Member, President 1933 Charles O’Neill, bandmaster, composer, teacher, organist and cornetist, began piano studies at an early age, then organ lessons from Albert Lister Peace in Glasgow and theory instruction from Archibald Evans in London. At the age of fifteen, O’Neill took a position as organist at Grimsby, Lincolnshire, England, and played cornet in the local band. He moved to Boston in 1901, to New York two years later, and then to Kingston, Ontario in 1905 to serve as cornet soloist in the newly formed Royal Canadian Horse Artillery Band.

Black US Army bands and their bandmasters in World War I Peter M. Lefferts This essay sketches the story of the bands and bandmasters of the twenty seven new black army regiments which served in the U.S. Army in World War I. They underwent rapid mobilization and demobilization over 1917-1919, and were for the most part unconnected by personnel or traditions to the long-established bands of the four black regular U.S. Army regiments that preceded them and continued to serve after them. Pressed to find sufficient numbers of willing and able black band leaders, the army turned to schools and the entertainment industry for the necessary talent.

    INTIMIDATING THE WORLD: THE UNITED STATES ATOMIC ARMY, 1956-1960 DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Paul C. Jussel, B.A., M.M.A.S., M.S.S. * * * * * The Ohio State University 2004 Dissertation Committee Approved by Professor Allan R. Millett, Advisor Professor John R. Guilmartin __________________ Professor William R. Childs Advisor Department of History ABSTRACT The atomic bomb created a new military dynamic for the world in 1945. The bomb, if used properly, could replace the artillery fires and air-delivered bombs used to defeat the concentrated force of an enemy. The weapon provided the U.S. with an unparalleled advantage over the rest of the world, until the Soviet Union developed its own bomb by 1949 and symmetry in warfare returned. Soon, theories of warfare changed to reflect the belief that the best way to avoid the effects of the bomb was through dispersion of forces. Eventually, the American Army reorganized its divisions from the traditional three-unit organization to a new five-unit organization, dubbed pentomic by its Chief of Staff, General Maxwell D. Taylor. While atomic weapons certainly had an effect on Taylor’s reasoning to adopt the pentomic organization, the idea was not new in 1956; the Army hierarchy had been wrestling with restructuring since the end of World War II. Though the Korean War derailed the Army’s plans for the early fifties, it returned to the forefront under the Eisenhower Administration. The driving force behind reorganization in 1952 was not ii only the reoriented and reduced defense budget, but also the Army’s inroads to the atomic club, formerly the domain of only the Air Force and the Navy.

Richard Bundy, Jr. Professor of Music Education, Emeritus Dissertation Advisor Chair of Committee Robert Gardner Associate Professor of Music Education David McBride Professor of African American Studies and African American History Ann Clements Professor of Music Education Linda Thornton Professor of Music Education Chair of the Graduate Program iii ABSTRACT This study investigates the service of the Navy Band B-1, the first all-black Navy band to serve during World War II. For many years it was believed that the black musicians of the Great Lakes Camp held the distinction as the first all-black Navy band to serve during World War II. However, prior to the opening of the Navy’s Negro School of Music at the Great Lakes Camps, the Navy Band B-1 had already completed its training and was in full service. This study documents the historical timeline of events associated with the formation of the Navy Band B-1, the recruitment of the bandsmen, their service in the United States Navy, and their valuable contributions to the country. Surviving members of the Navy Band B-1 were interviewed to share their stories and reflections of their service during World War II.

Is there something in female gesture as opposed to male gesture, because of the difference in the physicality, that translates into different responses from an orchestra? A: Everything we do is about gesture and the way humanity interprets gestures. The same gesture from a woman and a man is completely different. I talk to conductors a lot about trying to neutralize or de- genderize their gestures so that there are no stereotypical associations. As a woman conductor if you extend your little finger on your baton hand it looks like you’re having tea – unconsciously people will find it lightweight. If a man does it it’s usually interpreted as a gesture of sensitivity. You really have to really go through your physical vocabulary and analyze it from many different levels. – Marin Alsop II.

    Composition and Analysis of Symphony No. 1 by David

    14 CHAPTER II REVIEW OF THE LITERATURE Mennin Biography and Overview of his Symphonies Peter Mennin was born 17 May 1923 in Erie, Pennsylvania to parents Attilio and Amelia Mennini.45 He later Americanized his name to Mennin to help differentiate himself from his older brother, Louis, who also composed. By taking early solfeggio and piano lessons with the local musician, Tito Spantani, he reportedly learned to read music before being able to read or write.46 He also later realized he had perfect pitch. Mennin composed his first piano piece before age seven47 and attempted a symphony at age eleven.48 Other early compositions include more piano pieces and a number of songs, some of which were set to the texts of Emily Dickinson.49 Of his early musical influences, Mennin states: When I was very young, it was Verdi…The bulk of my lessons were drawn from Verdi operas. Then for a while I had had enough of Verdi, too much. Later, when I was older, I fell in love with Verdi all over again, and for good. But while I was a student Beethoven was certainly one of the dominant influences, not only for the usual good reasons—because the music was great, because it moved me emotionally—but because I could learn so much from Beethoven.50 45 Holland, "Peter Mennin, Juilliard President and Prolific Composer, Dies at 60." 46 David Ewen, American Composers a Biographical Dictionary (New York: G.P.
