As particular situa- 1 I tions arise, schools must have access to teaching programs i which will enable them to respond to these situations. A l I jworkable curriculum framework has been devised to use I I • 1 mus1c as a means of increasing multicultural awareness and I / understanding. I I I Three major ethnic groups have been selected mainly' ! j I i 1 for their significant differences: Hawaiian- -representing : t-·-------------------------·--.,----------------------------- ---------- --~ ----- _________j v an emerging cultural group; Black American--compatriots of America for hundreds of years; and Spanish-American-­ prominent in the cultural spectrum. Generally, human culture is a collective name for all behavior patterns socially acquired and socially trans­ mitted from one generation to the other. Music is part of civilization's culture. The most significant Western influence on Hawaiian music-hymn singing and stringed instruments--strongly affected the folk elements. The music of black people in the United States has developed its own characteristic style, from the tradi­ tional African work songs, dance songs and satirical songs. Spanish and Mexican Americans form an important segment of the population in California and the American Southwest. In developing the music program, cultural objec­ tives are: attitudes of acceptance; unit studies with intercultural emphasis; and use of textbooks presenting a sympathetic and honest approach toward diverse cultural groups. Musical objectives are: to teach basic concepts of rhythm, melody, harmony, form and timbre; improving vocal skills; to explore the vast resources of ethnic musical literature; and to increase appreciation of ethnic music. vi Sample units of the curriculum framewor~ for each ethnic group include: general overview, song materials, musical concepts, source books, enrichment materials and cultural materials of related interest. Multicultural programs better prepare youth to function in a changing society. Multicultural programs maintain individuality and preserve cultural and ethnic identities. A music program projecting a well-defined emphasis on intercultural awareness is important in pro­ moting mutual respect, social co-operation and communi­ cation in today's expanding multicultural world. vii r~-~-----·--------------------~---------.. ---------~------~-------------------------·--------~--.. ------------~--------·-··--~ !

L------------------~------- - r---------~-----------~-----------·-------~-------------~----~-------~-- ·-------------------------------------------·---------- 1 I l I CHAPTER II i I BRIEF OVERVIEW OF CULTURAL CONCEPTS I Definition, Derivation and Development What do we mean by culture? The German word Ku1tur I 1appears in a first edition of the German Dictionary in 1793 I )and had the meaning of cultivating or becoming cultured. jGustav E. Klemns, 1802-1867, published in 1843 the first I !volume of his ALLGEMEINE CULTURGESCHICHTE der MENSCHHEIT, Ia history of culture, subsequently completed in ten volumes, I lin 1852. In 1854 and 1855, he published ALLGEMEINE CULTUR- 1 1 WISSENSCHAFT in two volumes·, the science of culture. i l Civilization is an older word than culture in both IFrench and English, and also in German. In English, civ- ! lilization was associated with the task of civilizing others~ I I I In eighteenth century German, the word civilization still !emphasized relation to the state, somewhat as in the Eng- 1 llish verb to civilize--to spread political development to I jother people. The French verb civiliser was in use during I - i 1 this time, with the sense of polishing manners, becoming I sociable or urbane as a result of city life. 1---------------- f 1Alfred Kroeber, Culture: A Critical ReYie~ ~f 1 Concepts and Definitions (New York: Vintage Books, 1952), .

Beschaving, with the sense of !cultivation, came to denote also the condition of being ! !cultivated, and blocked the spread of civilisatie, the I !French term, by acquiring the sense of culture. However, lin the twentieth century, heschaving was increasingly dis­ jplaced by cultur. j The usage of "culture" and "civilization" in vari- lous languages has not been clear. Webster's unabridged I !Dictionary defines both "culture" and ''civilization" in !terms of the other. "Culture" is said to be a particular !state or stage of advancement in civilization. "Civiliza­ ltion" is called an advancement or state of social culture. lin both popular and literary English the tendency has been Ito treat them as near synonyms, though "civilization" has i !sometimes been restricted to "advanced" or "high" cultures.! ! . i ISomet1mes there is a tendency to use the term civilization I !chiefly for literate cultures: Chinese civilization but Eskimo culture. There is, however, a distinction of civilization from culture in American society. Civilization is con- ,sidered as impersonal and objective. A scientific law can i lbe verified by determining whether specific relations uni- formly exist. By using the same operations each time, the ; .

    ABSTRACT Title of Dissertation: SELECTED WORKS OF COMPOSERS ASSOCIATED WITH HOWARD UNIVERSITY Guericke Christopher Royal, Doctor of Musical Arts, 2018 Dissertation directed by: Professor Chris Gekker School of Music Throughout its over 100 year history, Howard University has produced and attracted many talented composers of many musical genres. Limiting this project to any one genre or focus would have lessened the overall impact of the music they created and the inspiration that has been a lauded part of the institution. The project will demonstrate the various harmonic, melodic, rhythmic and emotional contributions of the selected composers through interpretation of their music on the trumpet. Composers have been connected to the university in three general ways: as students, alumni and faculty; as commissioned artists; and through the performance of their works by notable performers associated with Howard. The pieces selected for this project exemplify a wide range of musical expressions and compositional techniques, and hopefully have been presented in a way that allows the emotional impact of each piece to resonate in a unique fashion. The selected works tended to fall into the categories of A. Trumpet and Brass Works B. Spirituals/ Meditational/ Religious Works C. Popular and Jazz Pieces D. Organ or other Instrumental Works E. Works of Historical Reference or Significance In some cases, certain pieces may be categorized across multiple categories (e.g. an organ piece based on religious material). As this was also a recording project, great care was taken during the recording process to capture as much emotional content as possible through stereo microphone techniques and the use of high quality equipment.

  • The Harlem Renaissance: a Handbook
    .1,::! THE HARLEM RENAISSANCE: A HANDBOOK A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF ATLANTA UNIVERSITY IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF ARTS IN HUMANITIES BY ELLA 0. WILLIAMS DEPARTMENT OF AFRO-AMERICAN STUDIES ATLANTA, GEORGIA JULY 1987 3 ABSTRACT HUMANITIES WILLIAMS, ELLA 0. M.A. NEW YORK UNIVERSITY, 1957 THE HARLEM RENAISSANCE: A HANDBOOK Advisor: Professor Richard A. Long Dissertation dated July, 1987 The object of this study is to help instructors articulate and communicate the value of the arts created during the Harlem Renaissance. It focuses on earlier events such as W. E. B. Du Bois’ editorship of The Crisis and some follow-up of major discussions beyond the period. The handbook also investigates and compiles a large segment of scholarship devoted to the historical and cultural activities of the Harlem Renaissance (1910—1940). The study discusses the “New Negro” and the use of the term. The men who lived and wrote during the era identified themselves as intellectuals and called the rapid growth of literary talent the “Harlem Renaissance.” Alain Locke’s The New Negro (1925) and James Weldon Johnson’s Black Manhattan (1930) documented the activities of the intellectuals as they lived through the era and as they themselves were developing the history of Afro-American culture. Theatre, music and drama flourished, but in the fields of prose and poetry names such as Jean Toomer, Langston Hughes, Countee Cullen and Zora Neale Hurston typify the Harlem Renaissance movement. (C) 1987 Ella 0. Williams All Rights Reserved ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Special recognition must be given to several individuals whose assistance was invaluable to the presentation of this study.

  • African American Song Recital Project BU CFA SOM Departments of Voice and Collaborative Piano April 2021
    African American Song Recital Project BU CFA SOM Departments of Voice and Collaborative Piano April 2021 Program Notes – Shiela Kibbe Art songs by African American composers and composers of the African diaspora are rich and diverse in poetic heritage, harmonic language, and compositional style. This project has introduced pianists and singers to a catalogue of repertoire that is immensely rewarding to performers as well as listeners. Although African American composers have set texts by many authors and poets, they have been especially drawn to the words of African American writers. Three of the most influential African American poets were Paul Dunbar, James Weldon Johnson, and Langston Hughes. Paul Laurence Dunbar (1872-1906) was the first African American poet to gain national recognition. Born to parents who were freed slaves in Kentucky, Dunbar’s writing often referred to their stories of plantation life. He published poems in Standard English as well as in dialect; his poetry using dialect attracted the most attention. The H. Leslie Adams song Sence You Went Away is a beautiful example of the softened diction used in Dunbar’s dialect poetry. James Weldon Johnson (1871-1938) penned the words to Lift Every Voice and Sing in 1900. Set to music by his brother Rosamund, this glorious song became commonly known as the Negro National Anthem, and is sung today in churches, at sporting events, and as part of the Black Lives Matter movement. Johnson was the First African American to pass the bar exam in Florida, and spent his professional life as an educator, a lawyer, the US Consul to Venezuela, and an officer in the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP).

  • Black Manhattan Notes by Rick Benjamin
    Black Manhattan Notes by Rick Benjamin In the years following the Civil War, New York City was the destination of thousands of African-Americans who, newly freed and in search of economic and political opportunities, migrated there from the South. These “first generation” arrivals in the great metropolis did not have an easy time; white society only allowed them a narrow range of occupations. For women, this usually meant domestic or laundry work, and for men, manual labor or service jobs as porters or waiters. But these toils were taken up with a hopeful eye toward the future: “No work was too dirty or too hard for them to do . .” Tom Fletcher recalled from first-hand experience, “in order to keep a roof over their heads and to provide some education for their children . .” But their struggles began to pay dividends as the nineteenth century drew to a close. Thanks to the opportunities resulting from this hard work, many of their children were able to become “. not only doctors and lawyers but also teachers and even poets and songwriters. .” The first African-American New Yorkers to transcend manual labor were men from the sporting world—jockeys, prizefighters, and, to a lesser extent, baseball players. With their modest prosperity, by the 1880s many were able to take up residence on the West Side of Manhattan. There they formed the nucleus around which an entire self-sufficient, urban African-American community would grow and thrive. Restaurants, cafés, hotels, grocers, tailors, and a wide range of entertainment establishments sprang up to cater exclusively to them.
