The following is a list of recorded recitals and concerts by the late maestro that are in my collection and all others I am aware of. It is mostly indebted to Alex Malow who has been very helpful in sharing with me his extensive knowledge of recorded material and his website for video items at http://www.therichteracolyte.org/ contain more detailed information than this list.. I also hope for this list to get more accurate and complete as I hear from other collectors of one of the greatest pianists of our era. Since a discography by Paul Geffen http://www.trovar.com/str/ is already available on the net for multiple commercial issues of the same performances, I have only listed for all such cases one format of issue of the best versions of what I happened to have or would be happy to have. Thus the main aim of the list is towards items that have not been generally available along with their dates and locations. Details of Richter CDs and DVDs issued by DOREMI are at http://www.doremi.com/richter.html .

    “I’ll Never Know Exactly Who Did What”: Broadway Composers as Musical Collaborators DOMINIC MCHUGH n late December 1963, when Jerry Herman’s new Broadway musical Hello, Dolly! was experiencing trouble in previews before its official opening in New York, its producer David Merrick decided to call in I 1 some help from another composer-lyricist, Bob Merrill. Herman later re- vealed that he had not been consulted about this decision before Merrill ar- rived on the scene; when Merrill himself realized this, he “turned ashen.”2 But Merrick stood his ground, and Merrill helped to create two new num- bers, “Motherhood March” and “Elegance,” as well as making a number of contributions to the book (script) and staging.3 Herman is quoted by his bi- ographer Stephen Citron as saying that he had been given “the first eight bars of ‘Elegance’ and [the] opening lines”4 by Merrill, and as freely admit- ting that the lyric of “Motherhood March”“was mostly Bob Merrill’s idea.”5 Merrill’s papers at the Library of Congress bear out this story, nu- merous handwritten pages of notes on the staging, as well as lyric sketches for these two songs, having survived to document his involvement.6 Also extant in the collection is a letter to Merrill from the show’s director, Gower Champion, thanking him for his input. Champion writes that he I extend my thanks to the British Academy and the Leverhulme Trust for their financial sup- port for this project. I am also grateful to my parents and to Danielle Birkett, Larry Blank, Geoffrey Block, Mark Eden Horowitz, and Hannah Robbins for their suggestions, and to the various estates for giving permission to reproduce some of the manuscripts, namely Emily Altman and David Grossberg (Lerner and Loewe), Ted Chapin (Rodgers and Hammerstein), Jo Loesser and Joseph Weiss (Frank Loesser), Paul McKibbins (Wright and Forrest), and Roberta Staats (Cole Porter).

May 17, 1889 • Formerly Norwegian American Weekly, Western Viking & Nordisk Tidende $3 USD Nordic Fest, 50 years strong KARI HEISTAD Minneapolis, Minn. Nordic Fest—an annual celebration of Norwegian-American culture in the small town of Decorah, Iowa—just had its 50th an- niversary, July 28 through 30. In many ways, Nordic Fest is like any other fair or festival; there are food vendors, musical performanc- es, craft making, and, of course, a parade, but it all has a distinctly Norwegian twist. Instead of funnel cake and deep-fried candy bars, at- tendees indulge in krumkake and “lefse to go.” While parents enjoy a demonstration on woodcarving, or perhaps a Hardanger Fiddle performance, kids in bare feet and bunads hurry to the craft area to go paint a Viking ship or make their own troll. The more you see at Nordic Fest, the more you understand that this is not an ordinary festival at all; this is something special. How is it Nordic Fest has sustained such success year after year? A lot of it has to do with passing down tradition to younger gen- erations. The Luren Singers, the oldest Nor- wegian-American male chorus in the U.S., performed at the opening ceremonies and provided a visual example of passing on the Nordic baton. A great majority of the chorus is what you might call experienced, most of them having lost the pigment in their hair See > NORDIC FEST page 15 WHAT’S INSIDE?

    Wright, Robert (1914-2005), and George "Chet" Forrest (1915-1999) by Linda Rapp Encyclopedia Copyright © 2015, glbtq, Inc. Entry Copyright © 2004, glbtq, inc. Reprinted from http://www.glbtq.com For over seventy years Robert Wright and George Forrest were partners in life and art. Together they wrote music and lyrics for film, stage, and club acts. They specialized in adapting themes from classical music into engaging tunes for movie scores and stage musicals. George Forrest Chichester, Jr., later to be known professionally as Chet Forrest, was born in Brooklyn, New York on July 31, 1915. A musical prodigy, despite scant formal training he was playing the piano masterfully before he even started school. In the early 1920s the Chichester family moved to Florida. By the age of thirteen Forrest had launched his musical career, playing in clubs in Miami. He was also a member of the Miami High School glee club, through which he met his future life partner, Robert Wright, who was the club's pianist. Wright, born on September 25, 1914 in Daytona Beach, Florida, had also taken early to music. By the time he met Forrest he was the conductor of a radio show. Brought together by their shared love of music, Wright and Forrest soon began collaborating. In 1934 Forrest, who was working at a Miami nightclub, played for an audition by drag entertainer Ray Bourbon. Forrest and Wright soon began writing material for Bourbon, who the following year took them on a nation-wide tour ending in California, where he helped them pursue their career in music.
