Wie immer werden wir be- müht sein, möglichst viele der prä- sentierten Filme auch tatsächlich zu sehen. Schließlich wird eine Groß- zahl der Produktionen bereits kurze Zeit nach Ende des Festivals auf DVD und BD verfügbar sein. Und da möchte man natürlich schon vor- her wissen, ob sich ein Kauf lohnen wird. Nach unserer Sommerpause werden wir in einem der Newsletter wieder ein Resümee des Festivals ziehen. Es wird sich also lohnen weiter am Ball zu blei- ben. Ab Montag, den 17.

  • “Can't Help Singing”: the “Modern” Opera Diva In
    “CAN’T HELP SINGING”: THE “MODERN” OPERA DIVA IN HOLLYWOOD FILM, 1930–1950 Gina Bombola A dissertation submitted to the faculty at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of Music in the College of Arts and Sciences. Chapel Hill 2017 Approved by: Annegret Fauser Tim Carter Mark Katz Chérie Rivers Ndaliko Jocelyn Neal ©2017 Gina Bombola ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Gina Bombola: “Can’t Help Singing”: The “Modern” Opera Diva in Hollywood Film, 1930–1950 (Under the direction of Annegret Fauser) Following the release of Columbia Pictures’ surprise smash hit, One Night of Love (1934), major Hollywood studios sought to cash in on the public’s burgeoning interest in films featuring opera singers. For a brief period thereafter, renowned Metropolitan Opera artists such as Grace Moore and Lily Pons fared well at the box office, bringing “elite” musical culture to general audiences for a relatively inexpensive price. By the 1940s, however, the studios began grooming their own operatic actresses instead of transplanting celebrities from the stage. Stars such as Deanna Durbin, Kathryn Grayson, and Jane Powell thereby became ambassadors of opera from the highly commercial studio lot. My dissertation traces the shifts in film production and marketing of operatic singers in association with the rise of such cultural phenomena as the music-appreciation movement, all contextualized within the changing social and political landscapes of the United States spanning the Great Depression to the Cold War. Drawing on a variety of methodologies—including, among others, archival research, film analysis, feminist criticisms, and social theory—I argue that Hollywood framed opera as less of a European theatrical art performed in elite venues and more of a democratic, albeit still white, musical tradition that could be sung by talented individuals in any location.

  • At Last”—Etta James (1961) Added to the National Registry: 2008 Essay by Cary O’Dell
    “At Last”—Etta James (1961) Added to the National Registry: 2008 Essay by Cary O’Dell Etta James Original label Original LP Etta James’s legendary 1961 recording of “At Last” was one of her first releases for the Chess/Argo recording label after beginning her career with the Modern label. The change in companies also marked a change in James’s career. She recounted in her 1995 autobiography, “Rage to Survive”: I was no longer a teenager. I was twenty-two and sophisticated. Or at least I wanted to be sophisticated. So when Harvey [Fuqua, formerly of the Moonglows, and then James’s boyfriend] got out his “Book of One Hundred Standards” and began playing through old songs, I got excited. I saw in that music the mysterious life that my mother had led when I was a little girl, the life I secretly dreamed of living myself. I wanted to escape into a world of glamour and grace and easy sin. “At Last” was the first one to hit big…. Because of the way I phrased it, some people started calling me a jazz singer. And it was a change. Before her switch to Chess, James (born Jamesetta Hawkins in 1938) had primarily scored as a recording artist with what she would later call “quickie teenage rockin’, humping and bumping ditties.” Indeed, her oeuvre up to that time had been marked with such titles as “Dance With Me, Henry” (her breakthrough), “All I Could Do Was Cry,” and “My Dearest Darling.” And though “At Last” (from James’s album of the same name) was also about an endearing love, James’s soulful approach certainly bespoke of a more mature singer fully coming into her own.

  • Glenn Miller 1941 “Keep ‘Em Flying” America’S Number One Band
    GLENN MILLER 1941 “KEEP ‘EM FLYING” AMERICA’S NUMBER ONE BAND Dedicated to the Glenn Miller Birthplace Society June 2021 Prepared by: Dennis M. Spragg Glenn Miller Archives Glenn Miller and his Orchestra, Cafe Rouge, January 1941 A Pivotal Year 1941 was a pivotal year in the history of the United States and for America’s number one bandleader, Glenn Miller. As of January 1, all ASCAP-licensed music (most popular music) was off the air. Glenn broadcast with a replacement BMI-licensed theme, “Slumber Song.” On January 17, the band recorded the classic “Song of the Volga Boatmen,” Bill Finegan’s traditional music response to Jerry Gray’s treatment of “Anvil Chorus.” If not for the broadcasting industry vs. ASCAP dispute, these two all-time Miller hits might never have been written or performed. Further changes arrived to shake up the successful Miller musical organization. A gossip columnist ran a story about Marion Hutton’s pregnancy, which pushed her to stop performing sooner than anticipated. By January 1941, Marion was only appearing on Glenn’s “Chesterfield Moonlight Serenade” broadcasts and not at the Café Rouge. Miller had to replace her. A young “dimpled darling” named Dorothy Claire from LaPorte, Indiana was singing for bandleader Bobby Byrne. Dorothy was under contract for three years with Byrne. So when Bobby learned that Glenn Miller intended to hire Ms. Claire, he promptly sued Miller for $25,000. However, Claire joined the Miller band on January 8. Glenn offered her a salary of $250 per week, a significant raise from the $75 per week she earned with Byrne.
