  • South Pacific
    THE MUSICO-DRAMATIC EVOLUTION OF RODGERS AND HAMMERSTEIN’S SOUTH PACIFIC DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By James A. Lovensheimer, M.A. ***** The Ohio State University 2003 Dissertation Committee: Approved by Professor Arved Ashby, Adviser Professor Charles M. Atkinson ________________________ Adviser Professor Lois Rosow School of Music Graduate Program ABSTRACT Since its opening in 1949, Rodgers and Hammerstein’s Pulitzer Prize- winning musical South Pacific has been regarded as a masterpiece of the genre. Frequently revived, filmed for commercial release in 1958, and filmed again for television in 2000, it has reached audiences in the millions. It is based on selected stories from James A. Michener’s book, Tales of the South Pacific, also a Pulitzer Prize winner; the plots of these stories, and the musical, explore ethnic and cutural prejudice, a theme whose treatment underwent changes during the musical’s evolution. This study concerns the musico-dramatic evolution of South Pacific, a previously unexplored process revealing the collaborative interaction of two masters at the peak of their creative powers. It also demonstrates the authors’ gradual softening of the show’s social commentary. The structural changes, observable through sketches found in the papers of Rodgers and Hammerstein, show how the team developed their characterizations through musical styles, making changes that often indicate changes in characters’ psychological states; they also reveal changing approaches to the musicalization of the novel. Studying these changes provides intimate and, occasionally, unexpected insights into Rodgers and Hammerstein’s creative methods.

  • Broadway 1 a (1893-1927) BROADWAY and the AMERICAN DREAM
    EPISODE ONE Give My Regards to Broadway 1 A (1893-1927) BROADWAY AND THE AMERICAN DREAM In the 1890s, immigrants from all over the world came to the great ports of America like New York City to seek their fortune and freedom. As they developed their own neighborhoods and ethnic enclaves, some of the new arrivals took advantage of the stage to offer ethnic comedy, dance and song to their fellow group members as a much-needed escape from the hardships of daily life. Gradually, the immigrants adopted the characteristics and values of their new country instead, and their performances reflected this assimilation. “Irving Berlin has no place in American music — he is American music.” —composer Jerome Kern My New York (excerpt) Every nation, it seems, Sailed across with their dreams To my New York.

From "White Christmas" to Sgt. Pepper: The Conceptual Revolution in Popular Music David Galenson NBER Working Paper No. 13308 August 2007 JEL No. J01 ABSTRACT Irving Berlin, Cole Porter, and other songwriters of the Golden Era wrote popular songs that treated common topics clearly and simply. During the mid-1960s Bob Dylan, John Lennon, and Paul McCartney created a new kind of popular music that was personal and often obscure. This shift, which transformed popular music from an experimental into a conceptual art, produced a distinct change in the creative life cycles of songwriters. Golden Era songwriters were generally at their best during their 30s and 40s, whereas since the mid-'60s popular songwriters have consistently done their best work during their 20s. The revolution in popular music occurred at a time when young innovators were making similar transformations in other arts: Jean-Luc Godard and his fellow New Wave directors created a conceptual revolution in film in the early '60s, just as Andy Warhol and other Pop artists made painting a conceptual activity.

  • Why 'Hamilton' Has Heat
    Why ‘Hamilton’ Has Heat By ERIK PIEPENBURG UPDATED June 12, 2016 http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2015/08/06/theater/20150806-hamilton- broadway.html “Hamilton,” the mega-buzzy bio-musical about Alexander Hamilton and the founding fathers, opened to glowing accolades unlike any in memory. It received 11 Tony Awards, including best musical, and 16 Tony nominations, the most nominations in Broadway history. It won the Pulitzer Prize and a Grammy Award. In his review, Ben Brantley writes: “Yes, it really is that good.” It’s one of the most talked about Broadway shows since “The Book of Mormon” in 2011. Why? It’s a theatrical rarity: a critically acclaimed work, written by a young composer, that’s making a cultural impact far beyond Broadway’s 40 theaters. That it’s told through the language and rhythms of hip-hop and R&B — genres that remain mostly foreign to the musical theater tradition — has put it in contention to redefine what an American musical can look and sound like. As Mr. Brantley wrote in his review of the show Off Broadway, the songs in “Hamilton” could be performed “more or less as they are by Drake or Beyoncé or Kanye.” Ethel Merman it ain’t. So what’s the story behind a show that’s become a Broadway must-see with no marquee names, no special effects and almost no white actors? Here, in six snapshots, is an explanation of why “Hamilton” is a big deal. It’s a Genuine Smash “Hamilton” is on track to become one of the biggest critical and commercial hits in Broadway history.

  • Juilliard Composers.Cwk
    100 YEARS OF JUILLIARD COMPOSERS THE JUILLIARD COMPOSERS The Juilliard School was founded in 1905 as the Institute for Musical Arts by the head of music education in New York's public schools, Frank Damrosch. He believed Americans should not have to go abroad for high quality musical training. The school grew rapidly and today, after 100 years, Juilliard is one of the world's most celebrated training grounds for performing artists, showcasing extraordinary talent since it first opened its doors 100 years ago. Juilliard has always been strongly associated with contemporary music, aware of today’s latest trends and has supported creative talent without prejudice. The School has survived so well because of its talented students, enlightened patrons, strong leadership and dedicated faculty. At Juilliard there are numerous faculty members who are known for their advocacy of new music. The composition faculty includes composers: Samuel Adler, Milton Babbitt, Robert Beaser, John Corigliano, and Christopher Rouse. Composers forums take place each Monday night. Frequently when there is a significant premiere in town that composer will give a master-class. Recent visitors include John Harbison, and Gunther Schuller. Throughout Juilliard history the names of composition students and teachers who have passed through the halls of the school during its first 100 years are awe-inspiring. To understand their works is to understand 20th-century music in all its different stages: American nationalism, polytonalism, jazz, avant-garde, dodecaphonics, neo-classicism, minimal music and electronic music. The list includes movie composers Richard Rodgers, Marvin Hamlisch, Bernard Herrmann, John Williams; contemporary avant-garde composers Luigi Nono, Luciano Berio; twelve-tone composers Milton Babbit, Elliot Carter; jazz composers Miles Davis, Nina Simone; minimal composers Philip Glass, Steve Reich; neo-traditional composers David Diamond, William Schumann, Vincent Persichetti.

"Yip" Harburg and Lorenz Hart were born in New York City within two years of each other at the turning of the 20th century. Their careers and lives repeatedly intersected as each became one of America's greatest lyricists, and their careers tell the story of the American musical as it evolved from operetta to musical comedy to serious musical play.

(1924) and Girl Crazy (1930) as well as the opera Porgy and Bess (1935).
