  • The Nineteenth-Century Russian Gypsy Choir and the Performance of Otherness
    The Nineteenth-Century Russian Gypsy Choir and the Performance of Otherness Erik R. Scott Summer 2008 Erik R. Scott is a Ph.D. candidate in the Department of History, at the University of California, Berkeley Acknowledgments I would like to thank Professor Victoria Frede and my fellow graduate students in her seminar on Imperial Russian History. Their careful reading and constructive comments were foremost in my mind as I conceptualized and wrote this paper, first for our seminar in spring 2006, now as a revised work for publication. Abstract: As Russia’s nineteenth-century Gypsy craze swept through Moscow and St. Petersburg, Gypsy musicians entertained, dined with, and in some cases married Russian noblemen, bureaucrats, poets, and artists. Because the Gypsies’ extraordinary musical abilities supposedly stemmed from their unique Gypsy nature, the effectiveness of their performance rested on the definition of their ethnic identity as separate and distinct from that of the Russian audience. Although it drew on themes deeply embedded in Russian— and European—culture, the Orientalist allure of Gypsy performance was in no small part self-created and self-perpetuated by members of Russia’s renowned Gypsy choirs. For it was only by performing their otherness that Gypsies were able to seize upon their specialized role as entertainers, which gave this group of outsiders temporary control over their elite Russian audiences even as the songs, dances, costumes, and gestures of their performance were shaped perhaps more by audience expectations than by Gypsy musical traditions. The very popularity of the Gypsy musical idiom and the way it intimately reflected the Russian host society would later bring about a crisis of authenticity that by the end of the nineteenth century threatened the magical potential of Gypsy song and dance by suggesting it was something less than the genuine article.

María Bobadilla Pérez Universidade da Coruña, España ORCID: https://orcid.org/ 0000-0002-4972-5980 Transpopular Spaces: Gypsy Imageries in the Work of Van Morrison Resumen La obra del autor norirlandés Van Morrison ha pasado relativamente desapercibida por la crítica a pesar de los numerosos elementos sociales, literarios y artísticos que presenta. Entre ellos se encuentra la representación de la figura del gitano como modelo de actuación para unas generaciones de oyentes a quienes les preocupaba el aspecto cultural a la contra, así como los modelos de vida alternativos a los legitimados por la clase media de la época. El objetivo de este estudio es analizar el componente romantizado que se presenta en la obra de Morrison alrededor de su representación del gitanismo, así como observar cómo esos elementos generan primero una función deontologizante y después una resignificación de los espacios en tránsito ocupados por la(s) imaginación(es) de esta comunidad como pueblo nómada. Para llevar a cabo el análisis se atenderá a varias canciones de la primera época del autor norirlandés, y se explicarán las funciones de representación del gitano en el entorno del espacio y de una epistemología contracultural. Palabras clave: Van Morrison; espacio; gitanos; contracultura; música Abstract The work of Northern Irish singer-songwriter Van Morrison has gone relatively unnoticed by critics despite the numerous social, literary and artistic elements included in his songs.

In our seventy-seventh season, we examine — in a way that we are uniquely equipped to do — the relevance of THE GALLERY the arts in today’s world. Throughout our thirty-six Sunday and eight Friday performances, we ask the questions who, what, when, where, why, and how music and art reflect — and affect — our daily lives in the twenty-first century.

  • Dan Hicks' Holidaze in Hicksville Launches Napa Valley Holiday Season at NVOH
    Hailed as, “The eternal hipster, purveyor of the drollest and most swingin' tunes the rock generation ever enjoyed” (Minneapolis Star Tribune), Dan Hicks and the Hot Licks have hijacked the holidays and created a Christmas album you’ll enjoy all year long. Released on October 12, 2010 through Surfdog Records, Crazy For Christmas is classic Hot Licks, full of the same dry wit and musical brilliance that has defined Dan Hicks’ music for the past four decades and established him as one of American music’s true cult heroes. “[Crazy For Christmas has] a joyously irreverent charm …[and is] a warm “You may not be able to believe in reminder of just how consistent, steady, and poignantly funny Hicks can Santa anymore, but thanks to Hicks and the Hot Licks you can be; any season of the year.” - All Music Guide still believe in the infinitely more valuable vibe and spirit that the “The perfect accompaniment to a holiday martini gathering.” Fat Man represents.” - LA Times - Premier Guitar “a classic in the making with its signature sense of humor and witty word that we’ve come to expect from Hicks.” - Glide Magazine “Hicks and the Hot Licks create a sound that evokes images of Mr. Natural truckin’ along and Django Reinhardt puffing on a cigarette, playing music so rhythmic and bouncy that it could make a cadaver dance.” - American Songwriter “A Christmas record that sounds antic and deadpan, “a devilish twist to holiday classics.” engaged and tossed off, almost magically laid-back. - Metro Weekly (Gonzalo Bergara’s Django Reinhardt-like solos ensure the professionalism.)” - New York Times “Simply put: nobody else in this world – nobody “Necessary for any holiday hipster.” – sounds like [Dan Hicks]” - Jambands.com - Mountain Times “Crazy For Christmas makes you want to put “By far my favorite new holiday album, Crazy for Christmas, on your shades (even if it's snowing) and just stands up to repeat listens, which really makes it a seasonal anomaly.

  • THE COLLECTED POEMS of HENRIK IBSEN Translated by John Northam
    1 THE COLLECTED POEMS OF HENRIK IBSEN Translated by John Northam 2 PREFACE With the exception of a relatively small number of pieces, Ibsen’s copious output as a poet has been little regarded, even in Norway. The English-reading public has been denied access to the whole corpus. That is regrettable, because in it can be traced interesting developments, in style, material and ideas related to the later prose works, and there are several poems, witty, moving, thought provoking, that are attractive in their own right. The earliest poems, written in Grimstad, where Ibsen worked as an assistant to the local apothecary, are what one would expect of a novice. Resignation, Doubt and Hope, Moonlight Voyage on the Sea are, as their titles suggest, exercises in the conventional, introverted melancholy of the unrecognised young poet. Moonlight Mood, To the Star express a yearning for the typically ethereal, unattainable beloved. In The Giant Oak and To Hungary Ibsen exhorts Norway and Hungary to resist the actual and immediate threat of Prussian aggression, but does so in the entirely conventional imagery of the heroic Viking past. From early on, however, signs begin to appear of a more personal and immediate engagement with real life. There is, for instance, a telling juxtaposition of two poems, each of them inspired by a female visitation. It is Over is undeviatingly an exercise in romantic glamour: the poet, wandering by moonlight mid the ruins of a great palace, is visited by the wraith of the noble lady once its occupant; whereupon the ruins are restored to their old splendour.

  • Christine Ebersole
    CHRISTINE EBERSOLE Christine grew up in Winnetka, Illinois, where she discovered her passion for acting in high school. Upon graduation, Christine attended MacMurray College in Jacksonville, Illinois, before moving to New York to study acting for another two years at the famed American Academy of Dramatic Arts. In 1976, she appeared in her first Broadway play, Angel Street. She went on to star in such Broadway hits as I Love My Wife with Joanna Gleason and James Naughton; Hal Prince’s On the 20th Century with Kevin Kline and comic legend Imogene Coca and put her indelible imprint on the role of Ado Annie, the girl who “Cain’t Say No,” in Agnes de Mille’s revival of Oklahoma! She starred Camelot opposite Richard Burton and in Stephen Sondheim’s non-musical mystery, Getting Away With Murder, as well as The Paper Mill Playhouse’s production of “Paper Moon.” Off-Broadway, she starred in a critically acclaimed production of Chekhov’s Three Sisters with Dianne Wiest and Sam Waterson. At a time when a single critic’s bad review could close a show, that was exactly what befell the ill-fated Harrigan n’ Hart, which closed after three days and propelled Christine to Hollywood to pursue her burgeoning film and television career full-time. Christine’s feature film credits include the Academy Award-winning Best Picture of 1984, Amadeus, Tootsie, Thief of Hearts, Bill Cosby’s Ghost Dad, Dead Again with Kenneth Branagh and Emma Thompson, Folks! with Tom Selleck and Don Ameche, My Girl 2, Richie Rich with Macauley Culkin, Black Sheep with Chris Farley and David Spade, the romantic comedy ‘Til There Was You with Jeanne Tripplehorn and Dylan McDermott, and Disney’s My Favorite Martian, opposite Jeff Daniels and Christopher Lloyd.

  • Gypsy” (Original Cast Recording) (1959) Added to the National Registry: 2009 Essay by Cary O’Dell
    “Gypsy” (Original Cast Recording) (1959) Added to the National Registry: 2009 Essay by Cary O’Dell Original album artwork Original label Ethel Merman The life of 1930’s burlesque star Gypsy Rose Lee and her domineering stage mother formed the story for the great (some say greatest) Broadway musical “Gypsy” first performed in 1959. Hailing from Seattle, Lee, born Rose Louise Hovick, and her sister June (later the actress June Havoc) were the daughters of Rose Thompson Hovick. The elder Hovick married her first husband (and the girls’s father) at the age of 19. The marriage didn’t last, and soon after her divorce, Mama Rose decided to get her daughters into vaudeville as a way of making ends meet. Sister June was the breakout star among the two girls and she was soon being billed as “Dainty June.” Little Rose mostly performed in support of her younger sister. June fled the act in 1928 to get married—at the tender age of 15! Big Rose then concentrated her energies on making her other daughter a star. Whether mother or daughter knew it, their big chance presented itself in 1929 when, one day at a theater in Toledo, the lead of a touring show called “Girls from the Follies” was unable to go on. Rose immediately volunteered her daughter, even though the role required a provocative on-stage strip tease. Little Rose’s first strip of many to come didn’t show much skin and, hence, left her audience wanting more. But she was a hit and she quickly found her calling and a new stage name to go with it.
