Music Collection News 015047800049 Selected New Cds M USIC COLLECTION NEWS Spring, 2013 Greetings Musicians At long last it feels like Spring! We have been very busy in the Music Collection, assisting students with term papers and listening assignments. The “Reference by Appointment” service continues to be popular for students needing a little extra help for a term paper or thesis. You can request an appointment online from the “Ask a Librarian” page (https://www.bsu.edu/libraries/forms/referencebyappointment.php) or by e-mailing me at [email protected] What’s New? The Music Collection blog now has an index and a search function. Over the years I have attempted to create posts of wide interest, but especially difficult-to-search topics. Links in blog posts go to the CardCat listing for items. This Spring’s topics included old time Hollywood Musicals (the catalog subject is usually “Man-Woman Relationships”) and a list of the most popular operatic sopranos and their roles.

    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.

  • April 2013 List Blu-Ray New Releases
    tel 0115 982 7500 fax 0115 982 7020 APRIL 2013 LIST See inside for valid dates Dear Customer To start, please allow us to wish you all a very Happy Easter! This catalogue should be arriving with you around the festive time - please remember that we will be closed for the bank holiday on Monday 1st April. Universal Classics have produced another three bargain boxsets for release in April: the first one you will spot is the second volume of Mercury recordings (55CD). This is a limited edition set, so please don’t wait if you are keen to obtain a copy. The first set sold out quite quickly! Also being released is a 55CD set of recordings from DG’s ‘Archiv’ catalogue and a 13CD box of the complete works of Pierre Boulez - both are excellent value. April also sees the release of a brand new disc from Gramophone Award winners, Vox Luminis. Many of you will remember their beautiful Schutz recording from last year - this time they turn their attention to English Royal Funeral Music. It is available at a very special price, provided that you order it in April - see p.2. Other new releases worth a mention include Haydn piano albums from both Hamelin and Bavouzet, two major releases (Stravinsky/Rattle and Rossini/Pappano) from EMI and another recording of Berlioz from the Scottish Chamber Orchestra under Robin Ticciati. The rich catalogue of DVDs from VAI is reduced this month, alongside bargains from Hyperion Helios, beautiful presentations from Glossa and Alpha, niche genres from Regent and NMC and historical gems from Music and Arts and West Hill Radio Archives.

  • 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.

  • The Old-Time Radio Era, Sometimes Referred to As the Golden Age of Radio, Was an Era of Radio
    by Mike Prero The old-time radio era, sometimes referred to as the Golden Age of Radio, was an era of radio continued on p.3 programming in the United States during which radio was the dominant electronic home entertainment medium. It began with the birth of commercial radio broadcasting in the early 1920s and lasted until the 1950s, when television superseded radio as the medium of choice for scripted programming. The last few scripted radio dramas and full-service radio stations ended in 1962. During this period radio was the only broadcast medium, and people regularly tuned into their favorite radio programs, and families gathered to listen to the home radio in the evening. According to a 1947 C. E. Hooper survey, 82 out of 100 Americans were found to be radio listeners. A variety of new entertainment formats and genres were created for the new medium, many of which later migrated to television: radio plays, mys- tery serials, soap operas, quiz shows, talent shows, variety hours, situation comedies, play-by-play sports, children's shows, cooking shows. Since this era, radio programming has shifted to a more nar- row format of news, talk, sports and music. The broadcasts of live drama, comedy, music and news that characterize the Golden Age of Radio had a precedent in the Théâtrophone, commercially introduced in Paris in 1890 and available as late as 1932. It allowed subscribers to eavesdrop on live stage performances and hear news reports by means of a network of telephone lines. The development of radio eliminated the wires and subscription charges from this concept.

    The “A’s” (Source: NET microfiche, unless listed) Aaron Copland Meets the Soviet Composers (1959) Initial Broadcast: N/A Number of programs: 1 Origin Format: Undetermined Running time: 30 minutes AARON COPLAND MEETS THE SOVIET COMPOSERS is a half-hour studio production kinescope of an interview between Copland and six Soviet musicians, musicologists and/or composers who were travelling in the US. My impression is that this was a visit in return for one made to the USSR by an American group earlier that included Menned (?), Sessions, Harris and Kay (?). The setting for the interview is a recreated concert hall stage with the guests sitting in players’ chairs and Copland and his translator located where a solo instrumentalist would be seated. The questions appear to have been scripted in advance – and scripts placed on the music stands. The responses from the Soviets appear to have been ad lib. Copland’s questions were translated into Russian by an American (?) of Russian origins, Nicholas Slonimsky, himself a musician. The Soviets spoke in Russian and were heard through simultaneous translation. The translator was unseen and uncredited. The Soviet guests include (in order of answering questions): Dmitri Kabalevsky, Boris Yarustovsky, Tikhon Khrennikov, Dmitri Shostakovich, Konstantin Dankevich and Fikret Amirov. Kabalevsky was asked about the knowledge of American music in the USSR; Yarustovsky on the influence of American music on Russian music; Khrennikov on the reactions of Soviet musicians to the visit of four American musicians earlier (in the exchange program?); Shostakovich on American jaZZ and its influence; Dankevich on younger Soviet composers and Amirov on the adaption of native musical types to series music.
