His appeal was international because of his most popular music, such as the score to West Side Story, and his wide success as a conductor. Bernstein’s varied activities, larger-than-life per- sonality, and brushes with controversy have inspired portrayals and commentary from many writers, rendering special problems for the compilation of the first and second editions of this book. We have tried to include significant examples of such sources as biographies (except children’s books) and scholarly articles on his life and work, but we have been selective in other areas, such as the thousands of articles in popular journals and newspapers. To exclude all such articles, however, would misrepresent Bernstein, a ubiquitous presence in American culture. Except for the first edition of this source, no other large-scale consideration of the bibliography concerning Bernstein exists, although there are a number of books and dissertations on the musician and his work that include extensive bibliographies, and we have benefitted from these sources in the preparation of this edition. Paul Laird’s scholarly interest in Bernstein began with his master’s thesis in the early 1980s. A source for that document was an interview with Bernstein that took place in Washington, DC, on 15 March 1982. Material from that interview sheds light on aspects of the composer and his work in the first two chapters of this book. Chapter 1 is Laird’s outline of Bernstein’s life and major activities to place the remainder of the book in con- text. Added to the second edition is consideration of Bernstein’s personality and char- acter, based upon The Letters of Leonard Bernstein, compiled by Nigel Simeone (Yale University Press, 2013). As in the first edition, Laird’s Chapter 2 is a study of Bernstein’s compositional style in terms of its most significant components. Chapter 3, augmented in comparison to the first edition, is a list of Bernstein’s most important compositions, each with a short annotation describing the work’s historical background, how it fits into Downloaded by [New York University] at 04:27 09 August 2016 his overall output, and identification of other basic information about the piece.

Lenny, as I knew him, the great musician, the 20th century giant with whom, in 1986, I conceived the Academy, was one of the first people with whom I engaged in dialogue about “this thing,” as he called it, just before proposing that we call our “thing” the Academy for the Love of Learning. “Why that name?”, I asked – and he said: “because you believe that if we truly open ourselves to learning, it will liberate us and bring us home, individually and collectively. So, the name is perfect, because the acronym is ALL!” I resisted it at first, but soon came to realize that the name indeed was perfect. This and other prescient dialogues have helped us get to where we are today – a thriving, innovative organization.

    AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF Lyle RockIer for the degree of Master of Arts in Englishpresented on May & 1997. Title: Chazzonos. Redacted for Privacy Abstract approved: I Tracyba Chazzonos, as presented here formy thesis, represents three chapters of what will be a novel of thesame name. Chazzonos is about Hal Perimutter, a cantor, who at the outset of the novel, isresigning his position of twenty years. The novelprogresses as Hal decides where he will go after Mirthgate Temple and what will be meaningfulto him. Hal's decision is complicated by the opposing forces thatrun through him: the conservative side that is attracted to ritual, tradition, and, especially, themusic of the ancient and respectable art of the cantor; and the liberal,neo-60s, almost anarchic nature of his personal life. In these three chapters, the dilemmas of Hal's lifeare introduced. He deals with the implications ofan inheritance that has allowed him to resign; he struggles with the mystery ofa relationship that is developing between his homosexual son anda new lover; and he is challenged by his long-time girlfriend to make the ultimate commitment of marriage.Throughout the narrative, Hal is affected by his attachment to the musicof chazzonos (the cantorial art) and by memories of family and tradition,nostalgic as well as painful. The questions these three chapters introduceand thatwill develop as the entire novel progressesare those of love, tradition, obligation, and how one struggles with opposing forces in one'snature.

  • Leonard Bernstein
    chamber music with a modernist edge. His Piano Sonata (1938) reflected his Leonard Bernstein ties to Copland, with links also to the music of Hindemith and Stravinsky, and his Sonata for Clarinet and Piano (1942) was similarly grounded in a neoclassical aesthetic. The composer Paul Bowles praised the clarinet sonata as having a "tender, sharp, singing quality," as being "alive, tough, integrated." It was a prescient assessment, which ultimately applied to Bernstein’s music in all genres. Bernstein’s professional breakthrough came with exceptional force and visibility, establishing him as a stunning new talent. In 1943, at age twenty-five, he made his debut with the New York Philharmonic, replacing Bruno Walter at the last minute and inspiring a front-page story in the New York Times. In rapid succession, Bernstein Leonard Bernstein photo © Susech Batah, Berlin (DG) produced a major series of compositions, some drawing on his own Jewish heritage, as in his Symphony No. 1, "Jeremiah," which had its first Leonard Bernstein—celebrated as one of the most influential musicians of the performance with the composer conducting the Pittsburgh Symphony in 20th century—ushered in an era of major cultural and technological transition.

    Reflection and Emergence: Celebrating 20 years of the Academy for the Love of Learning and Leonard Bernstein’s 100th 201 AUGUST 25 8 1 Copyright © 2018 Academy for the Love of Learning, Inc. © Kate Russell About the Academy 2018 marks both The Academy for the Love of Learning’s 20th anniversary and the centennial of the birth of the 20th century musical giant Leonard Bernstein. The Academy shares a deep history with Leonard Bernstein, and ultimately was birthed from an intense collaboration between Bernstein and Academy founder and President Aaron Stern during the fnal decade of Bernstein’s life. Stern, then Dean of the American Conservatory of Music in Chicago, had a profound discovery about learning while observing how music students learned music. From that discovery, Stern recognized that a restoration of the human capacity to learn was essential not only to the revitalization of music, but all of education and more generally, Western culture itself. From this, Stern began to develop a body of work, pedagogy and learning methodologies that are now at the center of the Academy for the Love of Learning. Stern’s approach to learning found its counterpart in Bernstein’s vision for a better world and a lifelong commitment to sharing that vision through music. Stern’s clear conviction that by “taking the lid of learning, we can learn ourselves to a better world, individually and collectively” touched and inspired Bernstein deeply toward the end of his life. Bernstein invested in Stern enormously during that last decade of his life. Following Bernstein’s death in 1990, Stern developed further and implemented peripatetically the methodologies he frst began to explore while at the Conservatory.
