  • Broadway Starts to Rock: Musical Theater Orchestrations and Character, 1968-1975 By
    Broadway Starts to Rock: Musical Theater Orchestrations and Character, 1968-1975 By Elizabeth Sallinger M.M., Duquesne University, 2010 B.A., Pennsylvania State University, 2008 Submitted to the graduate degree program in Musicology and the Graduate Faculty of the University of Kansas in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. Chair: Paul R. Laird Roberta Freund Schwartz Bryan Kip Haaheim Colin Roust Leslie Bennett Date Defended: 5 December 2016 ii The dissertation committee for Elizabeth Sallinger certifies that this is the approved version of the following dissertation: Broadway Starts to Rock: Musical Theater Orchestrations and Character, 1968-1975 Chair: Paul R. Laird Date Approved: 5 December 2016 iii Abstract In 1968, the sound of the Broadway pit was forever changed with the rock ensemble that accompanied Hair. The musical backdrop for the show was appropriate for the countercultural subject matter, taking into account the popular genres of the time that were connected with such figures, and marrying them to other musical styles to help support the individual characters. Though popular styles had long been part of Broadway scores, it took more than a decade for rock to become a major influence in the commercial theater. The associations an audience had with rock music outside of a theater affected perception of the plot and characters in new ways and allowed for shows to be marketed toward younger demographics, expanding the audience base. Other shows contemporary to Hair began to include rock music and approaches as well; composers and orchestrators incorporated instruments such as electric guitar, bass, and synthesizer, amplification in the pit, and backup singers as components of their scores.

  • THE LYCHGATE March 25, 2018
    _______________________________________________________________________________________ 1 THE LYCHGATE March 25, 2018 Parish Newsletter of The Church of St. Martin-in-the-Fields _______________________________________________________________________________________ From_________________________________________________________ the Desk of the Rev’d Canon Susan Bell ______________________________ There is something in devotional or Christian poetry that I find speaks to my heart and my head in ways that nothing else does. I have walked with this expression of the human soul for many years ̶ in the gift of study of the poet George Herbert and can honestly say that his writings have formed me deeply as a Christian and an Anglican ̶ following as he does the rhythm of the church year. In fact, his book of poetry called The Temple has been called a book of Spiritual Direction and that description really resonates. One of my favourites is called “The Elixir” – the first stanza of which reads, Teach me, my God and King, In all things Thee to see, And what I do in anything To do it as for Thee. The spiritual discipline of searching for and seeing God’s hand in all of life is an important part of our walk through Lent. It is a journey of self-examination and heightened self-awareness ̶ not for the worldly purposes of self-help but so that we can intentionally attempt to clear away the detritus that keeps us from a loving relationship with God. It is for the purposes of drawing us closer to Jesus and ultimately to draw us closer to each other as members of the Body of Christ. We intentionally set aside this season to search for the sacramentality of everyday life, and to see God’s provision all around us.

  • Two Perspectives on the High Priest Joseph Caiaphas: Challenges for Religious Educators Presenting Jesus’ Passion
    TWO PERSPECTIVES ON THE HIGH PRIEST JOSEPH CAIAPHAS: CHALLENGES FOR RELIGIOUS EDUCATORS PRESENTING JESUS’ PASSION MAURICE RYAN Introduction Along with Pontius Pilate, the high priest Joseph Caiaphas moves to centre stage when the most dramatic events of the Christian story unfold – the arrest, interrogations and execution of Jesus of Nazareth. Despite his central role in the unfolding drama, the gospel authors present Caiaphas as a shadowy figure and offer little context which might assist readers to judge his character, motivations and intentions. His role is crucial to the unfolding drama, but his presence is muted in the gospel accounts. As a result, most Christians remain unaware and uninformed about Joseph Caiaphas. His name is not well known in the Christian story, especially when compared with Pontius Pilate who has attained greater recognition, in part because he is mentioned in the Church creeds while Caiaphas is not. His persona tends to be submerged among the general Temple leadership and Jewish opponents of Jesus. Caiaphas may indeed be their leader but the gospel authors tend to hide him among the crowd of Jesus’ aristocratic opponents. Notwithstanding this lack of information, medieval folklorists, novelists, film-makers, artists, scripture scholars and Christian preachers have rounded out his character, generated their own rationale to explain his decisions and presented Caiaphas as vengeful, jealous, self-serving and misguided. These characteristics of the key Jewish leader have profound implications for the way modern Christians understand Jesus within his Jewish culture. Contemporary understanding of the relationship between Jesus and Caiaphas also has implications for the course of relationships between modern Jews and Christians.

  • ROYALE THEATER, 242-250 West 45Th Street, Manhattan
    Landmarks Preservation Commission December 15, 1987; Designation List 198 LP-1372 ROYALE THEATER, 242-250 West 45th Street, Manhattan. Built 1926-27; architect Herbert J. Krapp. Landmark Site: Borough of Manhattan Tax Map Block 1016, Lot 55. On June 14 and 15, 1982, the Landmarks Preservation Commission held a public hearing on the proposed designation as a Landmark of the Royale Theater and the proposed designation of the related Landmark Site (Item No. 68). The hearing was continued to October 19, 1982. Both hearings had been duly advertised in accordance with the provisions of law. Eighty-two witnesses spoke or had statements read into the record in favor of designation. One witness spoke in opposition to designation. The owner, with his representatives, appeared at the hearing, and indica ted that he had not formulated an opinion regarding designation. The Commission has received many letters and other expressions of support in favor of this designation. DESCRIPTION AND ANALYSIS The Royale Theater survives today as one of the historic theaters that symbolize American theater for both New York and the nation. Built in 1926- 27, the Royale was among the half-dozen theaters constructed by the Chanin Organization in the mid-1920s, to the designs of Herbert J. Krapp, that typified the development of the Times Square/Broadway theater district. Founded by Irwin S. Chanin, the Chanin organization was a major cons true tion company in New York. During the 1920s, Chanin branched out into the building of theaters, and helped create much of the ambience of the heart of the theater district.
