New York Linda Amiel Burns, President Sheet Music Society I was so sorry to have missed our November program, but I had to attend an OFFICERS important band rehearsal for a cabaret act that I was directing. I usually don’t President: Linda Amiel Burns schedule anything the day of the NYSMS Meeting, but this couldn’t be helped. 1st Vice Presidents: Everyone reported back to me that Lynn DiMenna, VP of NYSMS, and co- Lynn DiMenna & producer of “Tales From the Piano Bar” did a fabulous job of hosting the afternoon and Sandi Durell interviewing Michael Garin, Ricky Ritzel, Bill Zeffiro, and their guests. Maryann Lopinto 2nd Vice Presidents: videotaped the event, so I will be able to watch this wonderful program in the next week. You Joan Adams & can read all about the program in this Newsletter, in the feature article by Jerry Osterberg. Sandy Marrone Treasurer: Glen Charlow Isn’t it exciting when someone we know, a talented person whose career we have been following Membership: for years, makes it big? I am sure that many of you will remember the amazing Glen Charlow & Trudi Mann singer/pianist/composer, Steven Lutvack, who has performed for us several times over the years. Recording Secretary: Well, he wrote the music and co-wrote the lyrics to Broadway’s newest smash hit, A Gentleman’s Edie Stokes Programs & Special Events: Guide to Love and Murder, which earned a NY Times rave review, along with lots of other great Elliott Ames & Sandi Durell notices. I have heard Steven sing many of the songs from the show in his cabaret acts, attended Marketing & Public Relations: workshops, and a few weeks ago, Joan Adams and I went to a preview at The Walter Kerr Barbara Thaler Theatre. We couldn’t have been happier when we realized that it was terrific entertainment and Website: would surely be a hit. The show is based on The Autobiography of a Criminal by Roy Horniman, Glen Charlow Editor Emeritus: written in 1907. The book was also the source for the Alec Guinness film, Kind Hearts and Jerry Laird Coronets , which led to some legal issues. Happily, all was resolved, and the show made it to its Newsletter Editors: triumphant opening. The star is the astounding Jefferson Mays, Tony winner for I Am My Own Jerry Osterberg Wife , playing a staggering eight roles, but everything about the production is outstanding: the [email protected] talented cast, gorgeous sets and marvelous direction. I hope you all will see this wonderful show! Joan Adams [email protected] Graphic Designer: th Steve Doyle and Marissa Muldur had planned to be our guest artists at the December 14 Glen Charlow Meeting. Steve is one of the most popular bassists in town, and was offered a lucrative job with [email protected] a band in Florida, which he couldn’t turn it down. So, the search for a replacement began! Most NYSMS Official Photographer: Rose Billings performers are very pleased about being asked to do a program for us, but the problem is usually the scheduling, finding a time when they are not booked. We are fortunate that Eric Yves Garcia Membership Mailing Address: has agreed to be our guest artist in December, with the terrific show that he recently did at The New York Sheet Music Society Laurie Beechman Theater. Lynn DiMenna phoned me after seeing it to say “Eric is a star.” I saw P.O.

  • Summach, the Structure, Function, and Genesis of the Prechorus
    Volume 17, Number 3, October 2011 Copyright © 2011 Society for Music Theory The Structure, Function, and Genesis of the Prechorus (1) Jay Summach NOTE: The examples for the (text-only) PDF version of this item are available online at: http://www.mtosmt.org/issues/mto.11.17.3/mto.11.17.3.summach.php KEYWORDS: popular music, rock music, form, prechorus, sentence, srdc ABSTRACT: Prechoruses emerged in the mid-1960s as verse-chorus and strophic forms converged upon a four-part formal disposition that Everett (1999) calls “statement, restatement, departure, and conclusion,” or srdc. This study traces the expansion of the srdc scheme from its compact deployment in strophes to expanded iterations that approximate verse- chorus form. Received February 2011 [1] This article examines an episode in the evolution of verse-chorus form in pop/rock music. Until the mid-1960s, most verse-chorus songs alternated between the two formal sections from which verse-chorus form takes its name: verses and choruses. Example 1, Mark Dinning’s “Teen Angel,” illustrates the form.(2) As is typical for verse-chorus songs, the focal point of “Teen Angel” is the chorus: it contains the most engaging musical material; its unchanging lyric makes it easy to remember; and it is marked for special attention by additional vocal and instrumental parts. The verses, on the other hand, provide context: each verse advances the song narrative by presenting fresh lyrics; and the music is more modest in instrumentation and intensity so as not to steal attention from the chorus. In “Teen Angel,” the tempo is treated flexibly during the verses, which further distinguishes them from the choruses.

I’m pretty sure that the nuns who taught me in grade school used it as a means to inspire what has been, for me, a life-long love of reading. Twain’s 12 novels, nearly three dozen short stories and much more, marked him as one of the most prolific American authors of his time. Twain, often noted as the father of American literature, was credited thus by Ernest Hemingway: “All modern American literature comes from one book by Mark Twain called ‘Huckleberry Finn’.” That book is why we’re here today.

  • Developmental Cross Training Repertoire for Musical Theatre
    Developmental Cross Training Repertoire for Musical Theatre Women The repertoire suggestions below target specific developmental goals. It is important to keep in mind however that the distinguishing characteristic of musical theatre singing is the variability of tonal resonance within any given song. A predominantly soprano song might suddenly launch into a belt moment. A chest dominant ballad may release into a tender soprano. Story always pre-empts musical choices. “Just You Wait” from My Fair Lady is part of the soprano canon but we would be disappointed if Eliza could not tell Henry Higgins what she really felt. In order to make things easier for beginning students, it’s a good idea to find repertoire with targeted range and consistent quality as students develop skill in coordinating registration. Soprano Mix—Beginner, Teens to Young Adult Examples of songs to help young sopranos begin to feel functionally confident and enthusiastic about characters and repertoire. Integrating the middle soprano is a priority and it is wise to start there.

  • Billy Parker a Country Music Mainstay with 20+ Charted Singles, but Most Influencial In His Roll As Radio Disc Jockey.
    Billy Parker A country music mainstay with 20+ charted singles, but most influencial in his roll as radio disc jockey. Chapter 01 – 1:40 Introduction Announcer: While Billy Parker was a mainstay on country radio, his claim to fame was as an influential disc jockey, not as a performer. Ionically, for all of the Top 40 Country Hits he spun over the course of his decades on the air, not one of them was his own. Born July 19, 1939, in Tuskegee, OK, he began playing guitar as a child and by the age of 14 had made his professional debut on the Tulsa radio program Big Red Jamboree. A few years later, he began performing in clubs and in 1959 landed his first DJ work. By 1963, Billy was the regular daytime disc jockey on KFDI in Wichita, Kansas and also hosted a Tulsa television program. In the same year, he cut his first single, and was named “Mr. DJ U.S.A.” in a nationwide poll, which helped land him at Nashville, Tennessee’s WSM. After his 1966 release “I’m Drinking All the Time”, Parker began playing with Ernest Tubb’s Troubadours in 1968, staying with the group for three years, when he joined Tulsa’s KVOO. Billy was named Disc Jockey of the Year by the Academy of Country & Western Music in 1975 and he won the award again in 1977, 1978, and 1984. In 1976, he scored his first chart hit with “It’s Bad When You’re Caught (With the Goods),” from the album Average Man.
