Chair: Paul W. Popiel Colin Roust Sharon Toulouse Matthew O. Smith Martin Bergee Date Defended: 5 April 2018 ii The dissertation committee for Anthony Michael Messina certifies that this is the approved version of the following dissertation: Creating an Aural History: The Detroit Concert Band’s Sousa American Bicentennial Collection Chair: Paul W. Popiel Date Approved: 5 April 2018 iii Abstract The name Leonard B. Smith has permeated the wind band world for many years. Known primarily as conductor of the Detroit Concert Band, the extent of Smith’s musical heritage and legacy have been largely forgotten over the years. Smith was a workhorse who felt it his purpose in life to continue and preserve the legacy of his boyhood idol, John Philip Sousa. In no way is this more evident than in the band’s ten-album series titled the Sousa American Bicentennial Collection. Considered by his contemporaries to be the foremost interpreter of Sousa’s works, Smith set out to record all one hundred sixteen known Sousa marches. This series, created by Leonard B. Smith and the members of the Detroit Concert Band, acts as an aural history of Sousa’s legacy.

  • The Comic Operas of John Philip Sousa

    The Comic Operas of John Philip Sousa

    ABSTRACT Title of Dissertation: (MUSICAL) SALES PITCHES FROM THE “SALESMAN OF AMERICANISM”: THE COMIC OPERAS OF JOHN PHILIP SOUSA Tracey Elaine Chessum, Doctor of Philosophy, 2012 Dissertation Directed By: Professor Heather S. Nathans School of Theatre, Dance and Performance Studies When Americans hear the name John Phillip Sousa, they likely equate him with brass band music and the Fourth of July holiday. Neither theatre scholars nor audiences generally link Sousa with musical theatre; however Sousa saw nine of his comic operas and one musical comedy produced between 1879 and 1913. This dissertation is primarily a work of musical theatre history; however, it argues that Sousa’s comic operas were constructed to play a role in how American identity was manufactured and disseminated at the turn of the twentieth-century by reflecting new definitions of the “American” from the stage and circulating these new definitions nationally and internationally. Sousa constructed himself into an American cultural icon, a “Salesman of Americanism,” during an era renegotiating national identity. His works, therefore, carry the weight of his iconic stature, casting their messages as an ‘American’ point of view. In addition to a comprehensive discussion of each operetta’s form and production history, I argue that Sousa’s comic operas can be cast as cultural ambassadors for social and political ideas; as musical theatre works attempting to re-define American identity in the eyes of audiences on both sides of the Atlantic. While situating Sousa’s comic operas within the framework of musical theatre history, I argue that these cultural ambassadors were powerful agents advocating political and social change, intervening in the major social debates of the period, specifically in dialogues on race, foreign policy, copyright, labor, and suffrage.

For more information, please contact [email protected]. 1 Creating a Modern Performance Edition of Sousa Operetta Lisa Keeney Abstract While composer John Philip Sousa is widely known for his marches, his operettas are relatively unknown and unperformed. This is due to a lack of published editions of these operettas. The goal of this project was to input hand-written scores of an operetta by Sousa into notational software to be published and performed. The original manuscripts are not currently performable, as they are inconsistent, difficult to read, and only available as copies from the archives by request. The score “Selections from The Bride Elect,” an arrangement for wind band by Sousa of numbers from his operetta, was input and edited into a new performance edition. By creating notation that is edited, easy to read, and readily available, a modern performance of the operetta is possible. This process required editing to unify inconsistencies throughout the parts and alignment of the manuscript score with a published reduction of the operetta in order to ensure a performance as close to the original score as possible.
