  • 2012 Conference Abstracts (In Order of Presentation)
    2012 Conference Abstracts (in order of presentation) Thursday afternoon Session 1a: Mapping Musical Modernities at the BBC (3rd Floor) Vaughan Williams, Boult and the BBC JENNY DOCTOR, SYRACUSE UNIVERSITY Much scholarly discussion in recent years has focused on re-mapping notions of biography, exploring in music not only composers, performers and librettists, but also patrons, concert organizers and programme builders. In parallel with this emerged new ideas of institutional biography, opening up questions that contextualized the institution in terms of its cultural role. With such expanded impressions of biography, identity and contribution in mind, I explore Ralph Vaughan Williams and the BBC, considering the composer’s broadcasting activities and opportunities in relation to his Corporation contacts, in particular his interactions with BBC Music Director and Chief Conductor Adrian Boult. “The Best Possible Performance”: The BBC’s 1942 Music Policy and the Problem of Swung Classics CHRISTINA BAADE, MCMASTER UNIVERSITY This paper examines the BBC’s 1942 ban on swung classics, locating it at the nexus of three strands of British cultural expression during the Second World War: 1. the vogue for Russian (and Soviet) culture; 2. the expansion of American-style popular music in Britain; and 3. the development of People’s War discourses of democracy, populism, and tolerance. This paper argues that the ban represented a direct attempt to combat the commoditization of music and to develop a more musical citizenry. The BBC’s adoption of repressive means for democratic aims demonstrated the challenges of music broadcasting in modern mass culture. “The Machine Stops” and the Musical Acousmêtre LOUIS NIEBUR, UNIVERSITY OF NEVADA, RENO In 1966, BBC Television broadcast an adaptation of E.M.

  • ARSC Journal, Fall 1989 167 Yale Collection
    THE YALE COLLECTION OF HISTORICAL SOUND RECORDINGS Linda W. Blair The closing years of the nineteenth century saw the advent of a new era for the performing arts. Performance practices in music, drama, public speaking, and litera­ ture, previously lost with the passage of time, now could be preserved for future gen­ erations. Yale University, among the first academic institutions to recognize the value of sound recordings in scholarly research, established the Yale Collection of Historical Sound Recordings (HSR) as a department of the Yale University Libraries in 1961, its purpose to collect, preserve, and make available for study important historical recordings in the fields of Western classical music, jazz, American musical theater, drama, literature, and history. HSR owes its existence to Mr. and Mrs. Laurence C. Witten II (Yale Music, 1951, 1954), who conceived and developed the idea of a sound archive at Yale. The Wittens' interest in styles and practices of nineteenth-century music had led them to form an impressively comprehensive collection of early vocal recordings. When in 1960 they acquired the collection of New York businessman George T. Keating, a collection even larger than their own, and considered the most important worldwide at the time, the idea of founding an archive of historical recordings was born. They reached an agreement with Yale University whereby Yale would house, staff, and administer the collection, and in turn the Wittens would gradually transfer owner­ ship of their discs, cylinders, tapes, photographs, books, letters, and memorabilia to Yale through yearly donations. This collection, deposited at Yale in 1961 and aug­ mented through the years by the Wittens' continuing pursuit of valuable additions, is generally considered the finest collection of early vocal recordings in the world.
