Through this passage of time many changes have been made in the original design. The early instruments shown in drawings on the tomb of Rameses II (1292-1225 B.C.) were richly decorated but lacked the fore-pillar. Later the "Kinner" developed by the Hebrews took the form as we know it today. The pedal harp was invented about 1720 by a Bavarian named Hochbrucker and through this ingenious device it be- came possible to play in eight major and five minor scales complete. Today the harp is an important and familiar instrument providing the "Exquisite Sound" and special effects so important to modern orchestration and arrange- ment.

    XIII. Revivals and Recreations; The Sociology of Jazz By the early 1970s, as we have seen, jazz was in a state of stylistic chaos. This was one reason why the first glimmers of “smooth jazz” came about as both an antidote to fusion and an answer to “outside jazz.” But classical music was also in a state of chaos. The majority of listen- ers had become sick of listening to the modern music that had come to dominate the field since the end of World War II and had only become more abrasive and less communicative to a lay audience. In addition, the influx of young television executives in that period had not only led to the cancellation of many well-loved programs who they felt only appealed to an older audience demographic, but also the chopping out of virtually all arts programming. Such long-running programs as The Voice of Firestone and The Bell Telephone Hour were already gone by then. Leonard Bernstein had been replaced at the New York Philharmonic by Michael Tilson Thomas, an excellent conductor but not a popular communicator, and thus CBS’s “Young People’s Con- certs” no longer had the same appeal. In addition, both forms of music, classical and jazz, were the victims of an oil shortage that grossly affected American pressings of vinyl LPs. What had once been a high quality market was now riddled with defective copies of discs which had blis- ters in the vinyl, scratchy-sounding surfaces and wore out quickly. Record buyers who were turned off by this switched to cassette tapes or, in some cases, the new eight-track tape format.

  • 06 – Spinning the Record
    V: THE GOLDEN AGE, Part 2 The LP-45 boom becomes an explosion As mentioned in the previous chapter, the years 1940-1956 were so rich culturally that it is virtually impossible to describe it all in one chapter, and Americans of all economic and educational backgrounds had free or inexpensive access to music that was once only the prov- ince of the very wealthy. One should note that, in addition to the various innovations men- tioned previously, radio too was part of this free dissemination of the arts. The crown jewel of its epistle may have been Toscanini, but there were also the weekly Metropolitan Opera broadcasts sponsored by Texaco Oil, a commercial-free venue that would continue uninter- rupted until the 2003-04 season, when the company—no longer interested in promoting music that few of their customers listened to—allowed their contract to expire. And then there were two programs, independently sponsored, that brought classical, semi-classical and quasi- classical vocal music to listeners on a weekly basis, the Bell Telephone Hour and The Voice of Firestone. Both had somewhat middlebrow programming, yet they still brought such great singers as Maggie Teyte and Jussi Björling to thousands who would otherwise be unaware of their greatness. During the early LP era, too, “new” conductors (or, at least, conductors previously not known by the general public) were suddenly brought to the fore. As inventor of the LP, Co- lumbia was first, producing records by the New York Philharmonic’s new music director, Artur Rodzinski, as well as his replacement, the great Dmitri Mitropoulos (though, since the New York musicians didn’t “like” Mitropoulos, they rarely played their best for him); a re- markable Polish conductor, Paul Kletzki, in his first EMI recordings with Walter Legge’s newly-formed Philharmonia Orchestra; and the draconian Hungarian, Fritz Reiner, then the music director of the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra.
