    1 The American Bandmasters Association Edwin Franko Goldman Memorial Citation Recipients of the Edwin Franko Goldman Memorial Citation Victor William Zajec (Chicago, IL, March 4, 1923 - Homewood, IL, January 26, 2005) Compiled by Victor W. Zajec, 1998 Revised by Raoul F. Camus, ABA Historian, 2019 2 THE EDWIN FRANKO GOLDMAN MEMORIAL CITATION Edwin Franko Goldman (1878-1956), founder and conductor of the Goldman Band of New York City, was also the founder (1929), first President (1930-1932), and second Honorary Life President of The American Bandmasters Association (1933-1956). Shortly after Goldman’s death, the ABA sought ways to honor the memory of the man who was such an integral part of its beginnings. ABA President Otto J. Kraushaar charged the Special Citation Committee to “prepare recommendations whereby the Association could formally recognize certain persons outside the membership of ABA for outstanding services to the band movement in America.” The committee’s report was received in 1962. At the same time, the Goldman Memorial Committee was considering a suitable memorial that would recognize the contributions of the ABA founder. Both committees agreed jointly to recommend, for consideration by the ABA Board of Directors and the ABA past presidents, that The Edwin Franko Goldman Memorial Citation be established. In addition to honoring Goldman’s memory, the purpose of the award is to provide recognition to those outside the membership of The American Bandmasters Association (ABA) who have rendered conspicuous service in the interest of bands and band music in America. The first Citation was presented to Harry Guggenheim, sponsor of the Goldman Band concerts, at a concert on the Mall in the Guggenheim Memorial Band Shell, New York, on July 20, 1963.

    INFORMATION TO USERS This material was produced from a microfilm copy of the original document. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)", If it was possible to obtain the miss:ng page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image an.cl d:..:r:!l~ti;;g adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image. You will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part of the material being photographed the photographer followed a definite method in "sectioning" the material. It is customary to begin photoing at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue photoing from left to right in equal sections with a small overlep. if necessary, sectioning is continued again - beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. The majority of users indicate that the textual content !s uf greatest value, however, a somewhat higher quality reproduct~on could be made from "photographs" if essential to the understanding of the dissertation.

  • 1 George Wilson Records Thoughts on the ABA for Don Gillis American
    George Wilson Records Thoughts on the ABA for Don Gillis American Bandmasters’ Association Research Center, Special Collections in Performing Arts, University of Maryland, College Park Transcription by Christina Taylor Gibson George Wilson: Don, I am going to record some information about the American Bandmasters Association. I’ll leave space in some areas and you can use your scissors and do what you want to with this. You asked for some historical background and some of the more recent activities too of the ABA. So here we go. The American Bandmasters’ Association was formally organized in 1929. As a result of his many years’ study of the problems confronting American bands, and encouraged by a group of prominent bandmasters, including the late John Philip Sousa, Dr. Edwin Franko Goldman invited a selected number of band directors from the United States and Canada to be his guests at a luncheon and conference at the Hotel Pennsylvania in New York City on July 5, 1929. It was at this meeting that the American Bandmasters’ Association was formally organized. The objects of the association were defined as, and I quote, “Mutual helpfulness and the promotion of better music through the instrumentality of the band, to secure the universal adoption of a band instrumentation so that band publications of all countries will be interchangeable. To induce prominent composers of all countries to write for the band. To establish for the concert band a higher standard of artistic excellence than has generally been maintained. And to do all possible to raise the standards of bands and band music.” John Philip Sousa was elected first honorary life president.

Examining the community band’s unique history from its earliest forms during the Revolutionary period through the Golden Age of Bands identifies the traditions that supported this revival. The twentieth century, however, is ripe with developments largely independent from previous eras, including the vast expansion of the music education system in the United States and the education of amateur musicians, the Great Depression, and the gradual acceptance of the band as an artistic medium.
