  • Million Dollar Quartet” by Colin Escott & Floyd Mutrux at the Hippodrome Theatre Through December 2
    “Million Dollar Quartet” By Colin Escott & Floyd Mutrux At the Hippodrome Theatre through December 2 By James Cooper MEMORIES ARE MADE OF THIS … PRODUCTION Flashing lights, shimmering jackets and long musical solos radiate through the production of “Million Dollar Quartet,” now at the Hippodrome Theatre. Though the special effects and costumes are beneficial in some instances, the show lacks emphasis in the one area it should stress the most: the music. The whole story focuses on the decisions of four major musicians from the 1950s: Carl Perkins, Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis and Elvis Presley. Music is the main concept within the script, but it certainly isn’t the main concept within the performance. The show focuses on a single event: the night that all four musicians of the “Million Dollar Quartet” were present in the same space at the same time, the Sun Records Studio in Memphis on December 4, 1956. Elvis (Cody Slaughter) used to be a member of the Sun Records family but then he switched to RCA, a bigger label. Since this change, Elvis has lost contact with his former producer, Sam Phillips (Vince Nappo). As Elvis returns with his girlfriend Dyanne (Kelly Lamont) he makes it clear to Sam that he wishes he had stayed at Sun. Sam too wishes that Elvis had stayed, but his main focus is now on producing Johnny (David Elkins) and the up-and-coming Jerry Lee (Martin Kaye). All the while Carl (Robert Britton Lyons) has to decide whether or not he wants to leave Sun Records or move on to Columbia.

  • Behind the Gear Studios and I Worked There for Three Weeks
    brothers - I’d had enough. So then I went to A&M Behind The Gear Studios and I worked there for three weeks. The studio This Issue’s Guru of Gadgets sucked then. There was sort of a bad, lean-on-the- by Larry Crane shovel attitude. I felt like everyone there was just collecting paychecks - I like to work. So I went to the Jonathan Little Village Recorders, which is a nice studio. It was owned by Geordie Hormel. I worked there from 1984 to 1987. I’d gotten to know Jimmy Iovine and Shelly Yakus from the Cherokee days. They were working at Cherokee and we did the Tom Petty record Southern Accents and the Eurythmics [Be Yourself Tonight], one of those Talking Heads records [True Stories] with Eric Thorngren engineering, Robbie Robertson’s first [self-titled] solo record with Daniel Lanois and a lot of records with Gary Katz.

  • Singing in English in the 21St Century: a Study Comparing
    SINGING IN ENGLISH IN THE 21ST CENTURY: A STUDY COMPARING AND APPLYING THE TENETS OF MADELEINE MARSHALL AND KATHRYN LABOUFF Helen Dewey Reikofski Dissertation Prepared for the Degree of DOCTOR OF MUSICAL ARTS UNIVERSITY OF NORTH TEXAS August 2015 APPROVED:….……………….. Jeffrey Snider, Major Professor Stephen Dubberly, Committee Member Benjamin Brand, Committee Member Stephen Austin, Committee Member and Chair of the Department of Vocal Studies … James C. Scott, Dean of the College of Music Costas Tsatsoulis, Interim Dean of the Toulouse Graduate School Reikofski, Helen Dewey. Singing in English in the 21st Century: A Study Comparing and Applying the Tenets of Madeleine Marshall and Kathryn LaBouff. Doctor of Musical Arts (Performance), August 2015, 171 pp., 6 tables, 21 figures, bibliography, 141 titles. The English diction texts by Madeleine Marshall and Kathryn LaBouff are two of the most acclaimed manuals on singing in this language. Differences in style between the two have separated proponents to be primarily devoted to one or the other. An in- depth study, comparing the precepts of both authors, and applying their principles, has resulted in an understanding of their common ground, as well as the need for the more comprehensive information, included by LaBouff, on singing in the dialect of American Standard, and changes in current Received Pronunciation, for British works, and Mid- Atlantic dialect, for English language works not specifically North American or British. Chapter 1 introduces Marshall and The Singer’s Manual of English Diction, and LaBouff and Singing and Communicating in English. An overview of selected works from Opera America’s resources exemplifies the need for three dialects in standardized English training.

HOW THE PERFORMANCES, SONG LYRICS, AND ACTIVISM OF THE INDIGO GIRLS DEMONSTRATE THE MUTABLE COMPOSITION OF SOUTHERN IDENTITY by ALISON LAW Under the Direction of Gina Caison, Ph.D. ABSTRACT A common misconception about the southern region of the United States is that any one part of the region can stand alone as an accurate representation of the territory as a whole. To refute any notion of a homogeneous South and demonstrate the dynamic nature of an individual or community identity, I examine the history, song lyrics, performances, and activism of the folk-rock duo the Indigo Girls and their hometown of Atlanta, Georgia. This project applies the theories of locational feminism found in Susan Stanford Friedman’s Mappings and New Southern Studies in Tara McPherson’s text Reconstructing Dixie . Analyzing the biographies, song lyrics, performances, and activism of the Indigo Girls as an archive of southern literature allows us to understand the fluid, multiplex nature of regional identity and view Atlanta as one “borderland” in a heterogeneous U.S.

  • Conference Abstracts
    The Society for Seventeenth­Century Music Eighth Annual Conference Vermillion, South Dakota April 27-30, 2000 ABSTRACTS (in alphabetical order by author) SPANISH NUN MUSICIANS: EARLY MODERN CAREER GIRLS? Colleen R. Baade Lincoln, Nebraska This paper examines the social situation of Spanish nun musicians at women’s monasteries in Madrid, Segovia, Toledo, and Valladolid during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. Sources for my study include contracts for reception and profession of nun musicians whose dowries were waived or reduced in exchange for their service as musician, and monastery account books which show that some religious communities paid regular monetary stipends to sister musicians. I will address the question of just what a girl’s musical ability was worth and discuss ways in which the duties of and compensation to nun musicians changed from the beginning of the seventeenth century to the end of the eighteenth. It has been contended that a position as convent musician constituted one of very few “career opportunities” available to women in early modern Europe, but documentary evidence suggests that the majority of girls who received dowry waivers were prepared from early childhood by parents or guardians to become nun musicians because their families had no other means of paying a nun’s dowry, let alone any prospects for securing a suitable marriage. The demands placed upon “hired” nun musicians were probably quite heavy, and most of these women, unless prevented by illness or old age, were expected to serve as convent musicians their entire lives. In one case, a nun whose age and ailment prevented her from playing was required to refund part of the dowry that had been waived for her in order to be released from her duties as convent musician.

  • Interviews with Quincy Jones, Karlheinz Brandenburg, Tom Silverman, and Jay L
    Chapter 1 A Tale of Four Moguls: Interviews with Quincy Jones, Karlheinz Brandenburg, Tom Silverman, and Jay L. Cooper Newton Lee MP3 and peer-to-peer file sharing technology single-handedly disrupted the age-old music business. iTunes and YouTube have displaced record stores and MTV. If we take the cue from Netflix which has successfully produced original content, it will not be long before Apple and Google will sign new artists and rival the record labels. 1.1 Interview with Quincy Jones Quincy Jones, who composed more than 40 major motion picture and television scores, has earned international acclaim as producer of the best-selling album of all time—Michael Jackson’s Thriller—which has sold more than 110 million copies worldwide. Jones was also the producer and conductor of the charity song “We Are the World.” The all-time most nominated Grammy artist with a total of 79 nominations and 27 wins, Jones has also received an Emmy Award, 7 Oscar nominations, the Acad- emy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences’ Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award, the Ahmet Ertegun Award for Lifetime Achievement, and the Grammy Legend Award. He was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2013. On November 25, 2003, I had the honor to interview Quincy Jones at his then residence at 1100 Bel Air Place. With the assistance of my colleagues Eric Huff, Brett Hardin, and Laura Knight, we took our video cameras and lighting equipment to the three-story wood-and-brick house, checked in with the security guards, and met with a big warm welcome from Quincy Jones (see Fig.
