  • Music from Peter Gunn
    “The Music from ‘Peter Gunn’”--Henry Mancini (1958) Added to the National Registry: 2010 Essay by Mark A. Robinson (guest post)* Henry Mancini Henry Mancini (1924-1994) was the celebrated composer of a parade of song standards, particularly remembered for his work in television and film composition. Among his sparkling array of memorable melodies are the music for “The Pink Panther” films, the “Love Theme from ‘Romeo and Juliet’,” and his two Academy Award-winning collaborations with lyricist Johnny Mercer, “Moon River” for the 1961 film “Breakfast at Tiffany’s,” and the title song for the 1962 feature “Days of Wine and Roses.” Born Enrico Nicola Mancini in the Little Italy neighborhood of Cleveland, Ohio, Henry Mancini was raised in West Aliquippa, Pennsylvania, near Pittsburgh. Though his father wished his son to become a teacher, Mancini was inspired by the music of Hollywood, particularly that of the 1935 Cecil B. DeMille film “The Crusades.” This fascination saw him embark on a lifelong journey into composition. His first instrument of choice was the piccolo, but soon he drifted toward the piano, studying under Pittsburgh concert pianist and Stanley Theatre conductor Max Adkins. Upon graduating high school, Mancini matriculated at the Carnegie Institute of Technology, but quickly transferred to the Julliard School of Music, concentrating his studies in piano, orchestration, and composition. When America entered World War II, Mancini enlisted in the United States Army in 1943. Assigned to the 28th Air Force Band, he made many connections in the music industry that would serve him well in the post-war years.

  • Billy Preston
    Billy Preston Billy Preston was a soul singer and pianist who, in addition to having a successful solo career, collaborated with some of the greatest names in the music industry, including the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, Little Richard, Ray Charles, George Harrison, Eric Clapton, Bob Dylan, Sam Cooke, Sammy Davis Jr., Sly Stone, Aretha Franklin, the Jackson 5, Quincy Jones, and the Red Hot Chili Peppers. Often called “the Fifth Beatle,” this former child prodigy left one of the most profound and prolific legacies in music. William Everett Preston was born in Houston, Texas in 1946. He began playing piano at age three, and by ten he had joined the band of gospel great Mahalia Jackson. At age twelve he appeared in the 1958 film St. Louis Blues, portraying blues composer W.C. Handy as a young man. In the 1960s Preston performed with Little Richard and Ray Charles, and became a regular singer and pianist on the ABC television series Shindig. Preston went on to a successful career as a session musician, including lending his talents to the Beatle’s Let It Be album. That collaboration led to his signing to the Beatles’ Apple label, and in 1969 his solo effort, produced by George Harrison, was released. The album That's the Way God Planned It and the single of the same name met with limited success, but in 1972 he released an instrumental funk single, "Outa-Space," that reached #2 in the U.S. and won the Grammy award for Best Pop Instrumental Performance. Over the next two years, Preston enjoyed more number one hits including "Will It Go Round In Circles" and "Nothing From Nothing." He was the first guest musical artist on the premier episode of the popular TV show Saturday Night Live.

The Music We Watch Kelsey De Pree Music History II April 5, 2017 Music is universal. It is present from the beginning of history appearing in all cultures, nations, economic classes, and styles. Music in America is heard on radios, in cars, on phones, and in stores. Television commercials feature jingles so viewers can remember the products; radio ads sing phone numbers so that listeners can recall them. In schools, students sing songs to learn subjects like math, history, and English, and also to learn about general knowledge like the days of the week, months of the year, and presidents of the United States. With the amount of music that is available, it is not surprising that music has also made its way into movie theatres and has become one of the primary agents for conveying emotion and plot during a cinematic production.

    August 26, 2020 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: J.R. Cassidy (859) 431-6216 [email protected] “Pop-Pourri” (KY Derby Party & Nostalgia for Boomers to Centennials) Party 6:00 p.m. / Concert 7:30 p.m. September 5, 2020 Tower Park Amphitheatre, Fort Thomas, KY The Kentucky Symphony Orchestra concludes its 26th free summer series in Tower Park with “Pop-Pourri,” featuring seven decades of pop hit favorites of Boomers to Centennials. Prior to the show the City of Fort Thomas is holding a Kentucky Derby Party beginning at 6:00 p.m., where folks can don their hats and watch the two-minute race at the Mess Hall (6:50), or watch by phone and hear the race and festivities live on their blanket while sipping mint-julips at the amphitheater in Tower Park. Creating the live studio sound heard on radios, phones or favorite recordings (45 rpm to mp3) is the experience that the KSO’s Boogie Band seeks to emulate each time it assembles its 19 musicians and 8 vocalists. Nostalgia is the sentiment that takes people of all ages back to a “happy place.” “Pop music is an amazing time travel vehicle, which takes everyone back to fond youthful years to recall the car they were driving, who they were dating, and what was happening at the time” says KSO music director James Cassidy, who started this KSO subsidiary group 21 years ago. The band — 5 piece rhythm section, 7 horns, 8 strings are comprised of some of the most talented musicians from across the Tristate, together with vocalists, who have sung Broadway tours, studio sessions, and with local bands.

Known for stretching the boundaries of music and seamlessly tying together multiple genres of pop, funk, R&B, folk-rock, hip-hop, jazz, soul, new wave, and psychedelic, Prince Rogers Nelson died April 21, 2016, at age 57. Prince sold over 100 million records worldwide, making him one of the best-selling artists of all time. He won seven Grammy Awards, a Golden Globe Award, and an Academy Award for the film Purple Rain. He was the first artist to have a No. 1 album, No. 1 song, and No. 1 film in the same week. A Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee, Prince was ranked number 27 by Rolling Stone in its list of 100 Greatest Artists— "the most influential artists of the rock & roll era."

  • Prince Tribute Ride April 2016 J Sage
    Prince Tribute Ride Jennifer Sage April 2016 The world lost yet another icon of the music world. First, David Bowie, then Glenn Frey, now Prince. 2016 has not been very kind to the 1980’s. Those of us who grew up in that decade have been hit especially hard, as the songs from these musical geniuses are etched into our psyches and are a huge part of our adolescence, teen years and early adulthood. www.indoorcyclingassociation.com Prince Tribute Objective: Threshold climbing intervals Normally I try to find songs with a bpm that matches the cadence I want my riders to latch on to. But with a tribute ride, it isn’t always possible since I wanted to play iconic songs that I loved and I knew my riders would appreciate. That meant that at times they didn’t match the terrain I wanted. I did that for recoveries, as it’s easier to ask riders to pedal at their own cadence when they are not using the beat to help them push harder. Warm-up Kiss, 3:45, 111 bpm I Wanna Melt With U, 3:51, 102 bpm Ride between 80 and 90 rpm, gradually increase resistance and intensity to moderate level. First climbing interval 1999, 3:38, 119 bpm Little Red Corvette, 4:57, 123 bpm America (Grace on Thee WeRk), 5:03, 136 bpm Use 1999 to ease into the climb, resistance loading. Keep intensity moderate, cadence 60 rpm. On the second song (Little Red Corvette), raise the resistance to bring intensity to just below threshold, cadence on the beat at 62 rpm.
