As you can see in the photo of me in front of the Bopp’s Bruder organ, I did my best to get in the spirit of things. The board meeting was productive and you’ll get the full details in the September/October Bulletin. Some highlights include clarification of who may attend AMICA conventions and the creation of the “Adopt A Piano Campaign”, spearheaded by Richard Reutlinger. This campaign will collect funds from chapters and individuals interested in restoring a player piano which is owned by a non-profit organization and is on public display (the collections in Virginia and Nevada City, Montana were first mentioned as potential sites for our attention). The restored instrument would carry a plaque listing the donors of funds. I also agreed to form an advisory group to help Robin review articles submitted for publication in the Bulletin and to search through vintage Bulletin issues for articles to be republished. Details on this committee should be finalized soon.

  • Dwight Beacham the First Two Gifts and the Allen Organ Company Gave Him the Opportunity to Use What God Gave Him to Create the Sound That Was Always in His Head
    JOURNAL OF THE AMERICAN THEATRE ORGAN SOCIETY JULY | AUGUST 2020 www.atos.org The Right Man, in the Right Place, at the Right Time BY DOUG BEACHAM Allen Organ Company (All photos courtesy of the author publicity photo, circa 1998 except as noted) 16 THEATRE ORGAN In every generation a person comes along who has the right talent, the right personality and is in the right place to make a difference in his world. God gave Dwight Beacham the first two gifts and the Allen Organ Company gave him the opportunity to use what God gave him to create the sound that was always in his head. Dwight Beacham was a theatre organist who literally performed all over the United States and in several foreign countries, was a church organist from the age of 14, a music teacher, a choral director, and a groundbreaking organ designer, in a career that spanned over sixty years. The difference he made in the organ world is remarkable. Dwight was born in Glendale, California, May 14, 1946. His early years were spent in northeast Los Angeles and the San Fernando Valley. His family went to church every Sunday, just like most kids growing up in the ’50s, he played games with the neighborhood kids in the backyard and the family took annual vacation trips to Colorado chasing Narrow Gauge trains...his father loved those trains! As fate would have it, one year in the early ’50s Dwight’s father Wasn’t he cute? used his Christmas bonus to buy a Hi-Fi system. Remarkably, the system came with two George Wright LPs.

  • First Recording of Music of Leo Ornstein Three Moods
    FIRST RECORDING OF MUSIC OF LEO ORNSTEIN THREE MOODS William Westney, piano QUINTETTE for Piano and Strings, Op. 92 Daniel Stepner, Michael Strauss, violins; Peter John Sacco, viola; Thomas Mansbacher, cello; William Westney, piano This is the first recording of the music of Leo Ornstein, who became famous — indeed, notorious — as a leading “futurist” composer between the beginning of World War I and the early twenties. Ornstein was barely out of his teens before he was internationally recognized as a composer of daring, experimental music, as well as a brilliant pianist. Critics were astounded and compared Ornstein with Schoenberg and Stravinsky; Henry Cowell wanted to study with him; audiences were intrigued and frightened; all were impressed. Then, mysteriously, he dropped out of earshot. Leo Ornstein is now in his eighty-fourth year, living in Texas, and still composing steadily. He has recently completed a piano sonata and a string quartet. What happened to this man during the intervening halt century when he went from world-wide recognition as one of the most innovative composers of the avant-garde to obscurity and a life of quiet seclusion? Born in Russia in 1892, Ornstein went as a young prodigy from his hometown of Kremenchug to study at the Petrograd Conservatory. When the Russian Revolution threatened them, the Ornstein family moved to the lower East side of New York City. Leo studied at the Institute of Musical Art with Bertha Fiering Tapper, a fine pianist who became a strong influence on Ornstein's life and music. In 1911 Ornstein gave a debut recital at which he played traditional concert pieces; meanwhile, he was composing in a style that was as daring as — though quite different from — Charles Ives's.

ABSTRACT Roger Quilter is best known for his elegant and refined songs, which are rooted in late Victorian parlour-song, and are staples of the English artsong repertoire. This thesis has two aims: to explore his output beyond the canon of about twenty-five songs which overshadows the rest of his work; and to counter an often disparaging view of his music, arising from his refusal to work in large-scale forms, the polished assurance of his work, and his education other than in an English musical establishment. These aims are achieved by presenting biographical material, which places him in his social and musical context as a wealthy, upper-class, Edwardian gentleman composer, followed by an examination of his music. Various aspects of his solo and partsong œuvre are considered; his incidental music for the play Where the Rainbow Ends and its contribution to the play’s West End success are examined fully; a chapter on his light opera sheds light on his collaborative working practices, and traces the development of the several versions of the work; and his piano, instrumental and orchestral works are discussed within their function as light music.
