I often have trouble remembering when something was published in DEMS, thus I thought to make this Table of Contents for the DEMS Bulletins (with Sjef Hoefsmit's permission, of course). The items below are listed in the order that they were published in DEMS. Issues are arranged in reverse chronological order. Each item consists of the DEMS issue and the title and page number of each article. You can search the article titles using the search function on your internet brower, which in Netscape is Ctrl + F (both keys at the same time). Thus, if you remember reading about a good place to buy discographies somewhere in a DEMS Bulletin, hit Ctrl + F, type discog into the search window (you don't have to type the whole word) and hit enter. You will be taken to the following entry: 2001/3 DEMS 4 : Discographies available from Arthur Newman Here you learn that Arthur Newman is the man and that the information you seek is in the 2001 DEMS Bulletin, issue number 3, on page 4. Admittedly you can only find entries if you remember a word from the title of the DEMS article, but I still found this useful. I began with the most current DEMS Bulletin and am working backwards.

  • Syllabus Duke 201-220
    Musique sacrée (ou pas) Et nous en arrivons à un nouveau chapitre majeur du travail ellingtonien : les concerts de musique sacrée. Ellington déclare que ces concerts sont « la chose la plus importante qu’il ait jamais faite ». Pour ce premier concert de musique sacrée, en 1965, l’idée n’est pas d’écrire une messe : malgré l’influence marquante du gospel, c’est bien de l’Ellington pur jus, avec quelques anciens titres (Come Sunday évidemment) et de nouvelles choses. « Chacun prie dans son propre langage » dira le Duke. Le big band est renforcé par des chœurs, des chanteurs (dont Jon Hendricks) et un superbe tap dancer, Bunny Briggs. Le premier concert sera donné dans la cathédrale de San Francisco et sera télévisé. D’autres concerts suivront, notamment à l’Eglise presbytérienne de la 5ème avenue, en décembre (voir plus loin). Cette fois encore, l’œuvre est co-signée Ellington et Strayhorn : « Nous étions comme un seul esprit. Quand j’ai fait mon First sacred Concert, Strayhorn était à l’hôpital à New-York, très malade, et je lui ai téléphoné pour lui dire que le thème du concert était les quatre premiers mots de la Bible : « In the beginning, God ». Je lui ai dit ‘écris-moi un thème ou un interlude, quelque chose pour l’introduction’ Il l’a fait et moi aussi de mon côté. Eh bien, nous étions partis de la même note et nous avons fini avec la même. Nous avions tous deux démarré sur un Fa, terminé sur un La bémol et deux notes seulement différaient dans la mélodie » Voici l’intégralité de la captation du concert donné à la Cathédrale le 16 septembre.
