Black US Army bands and their bandmasters in World War I Peter M. Lefferts This essay sketches the story of the bands and bandmasters of the twenty seven new black army regiments which served in the U.S. Army in World War I. They underwent rapid mobilization and demobilization over 1917-1919, and were for the most part unconnected by personnel or traditions to the long-established bands of the four black regular U.S. Army regiments that preceded them and continued to serve after them. Pressed to find sufficient numbers of willing and able black band leaders, the army turned to schools and the entertainment industry for the necessary talent.

Richard Bundy, Jr. Professor of Music Education, Emeritus Dissertation Advisor Chair of Committee Robert Gardner Associate Professor of Music Education David McBride Professor of African American Studies and African American History Ann Clements Professor of Music Education Linda Thornton Professor of Music Education Chair of the Graduate Program iii ABSTRACT This study investigates the service of the Navy Band B-1, the first all-black Navy band to serve during World War II. For many years it was believed that the black musicians of the Great Lakes Camp held the distinction as the first all-black Navy band to serve during World War II. However, prior to the opening of the Navy’s Negro School of Music at the Great Lakes Camps, the Navy Band B-1 had already completed its training and was in full service. This study documents the historical timeline of events associated with the formation of the Navy Band B-1, the recruitment of the bandsmen, their service in the United States Navy, and their valuable contributions to the country. Surviving members of the Navy Band B-1 were interviewed to share their stories and reflections of their service during World War II.

Is there something in female gesture as opposed to male gesture, because of the difference in the physicality, that translates into different responses from an orchestra? A: Everything we do is about gesture and the way humanity interprets gestures. The same gesture from a woman and a man is completely different. I talk to conductors a lot about trying to neutralize or de- genderize their gestures so that there are no stereotypical associations. As a woman conductor if you extend your little finger on your baton hand it looks like you’re having tea – unconsciously people will find it lightweight. If a man does it it’s usually interpreted as a gesture of sensitivity. You really have to really go through your physical vocabulary and analyze it from many different levels. – Marin Alsop II.

  • Composition and Analysis of Symphony No. 1 by David
    14 CHAPTER II REVIEW OF THE LITERATURE Mennin Biography and Overview of his Symphonies Peter Mennin was born 17 May 1923 in Erie, Pennsylvania to parents Attilio and Amelia Mennini.45 He later Americanized his name to Mennin to help differentiate himself from his older brother, Louis, who also composed. By taking early solfeggio and piano lessons with the local musician, Tito Spantani, he reportedly learned to read music before being able to read or write.46 He also later realized he had perfect pitch. Mennin composed his first piano piece before age seven47 and attempted a symphony at age eleven.48 Other early compositions include more piano pieces and a number of songs, some of which were set to the texts of Emily Dickinson.49 Of his early musical influences, Mennin states: When I was very young, it was Verdi…The bulk of my lessons were drawn from Verdi operas. Then for a while I had had enough of Verdi, too much. Later, when I was older, I fell in love with Verdi all over again, and for good. But while I was a student Beethoven was certainly one of the dominant influences, not only for the usual good reasons—because the music was great, because it moved me emotionally—but because I could learn so much from Beethoven.50 45 Holland, "Peter Mennin, Juilliard President and Prolific Composer, Dies at 60." 46 David Ewen, American Composers a Biographical Dictionary (New York: G.P.
