  • ARSC Journal
    A Discography of the Choral Symphony by J. F. Weber In previous issues of this Journal (XV:2-3; XVI:l-2), an effort was made to compile parts of a composer discography in depth rather than breadth. This one started in a similar vein with the realization that SO CDs of the Beethoven Ninth Symphony had been released (the total is now over 701). This should have been no surprise, for writers have stated that the playing time of the CD was designed to accommodate this work. After eighteen months' effort, a reasonably complete discography of the work has emerged. The wonder is that it took so long to collect a body of information (especially the full names of the vocalists) that had already been published in various places at various times. The Japanese discographers had made a good start, and some of their data would have been difficult to find otherwise, but quite a few corrections and additions have been made and some recording dates have been obtained that seem to have remained 1.Dlpublished so far. The first point to notice is that six versions of the Ninth didn't appear on the expected single CD. Bl:lhm (118) and Solti (96) exceeded the 75 minutes generally assumed (until recently) to be the maximum CD playing time, but Walter (37), Kegel (126), Mehta (127), and Thomas (130) were not so burdened and have been reissued on single CDs since the first CD release. On the other hand, the rather short Leibowitz (76), Toscanini (11), and Busch (25) versions have recently been issued with fillers.

  • Objectivity, Interdisciplinary Methodology, and Shared Authority
    ABSTRACT HISTORY TATE. RACHANICE CANDY PATRICE B.A. EMORY UNIVERSITY, 1987 M.P.A. GEORGIA STATE UNIVERSITY, 1990 M.A. UNIVERSITY OF WISCONSIN- MILWAUKEE, 1995 “OUR ART ITSELF WAS OUR ACTIVISM”: ATLANTA’S NEIGHBORHOOD ARTS CENTER, 1975-1990 Committee Chair: Richard Allen Morton. Ph.D. Dissertation dated May 2012 This cultural history study examined Atlanta’s Neighborhood Arts Center (NAC), which existed from 1975 to 1990, as an example of black cultural politics in the South. As a Black Arts Movement (BAM) institution, this regional expression has been missing from academic discussions of the period. The study investigated the multidisciplinary programming that was created to fulfill its motto of “Art for People’s Sake.” The five themes developed from the program research included: 1) the NAC represented the juxtaposition between the individual and the community, local and national; 2) the NAC reached out and extended the arts to the masses, rather than just focusing on the black middle class and white supporters; 3) the NAC was distinctive in space and location; 4) the NAC seemed to provide more opportunities for women artists than traditional BAM organizations; and 5) the NAC had a specific mission to elevate the social and political consciousness of black people. In addition to placing the Neighborhood Arts Center among the regional branches of the BAM family tree, using the programmatic findings, this research analyzed three themes found to be present in the black cultural politics of Atlanta which made for the center’s unique grassroots contributions to the movement. The themes centered on a history of politics, racial issues, and class dynamics.

  • I Am Writing to Ask the Esther B. Kahn Charitable
    To Whom It May Concern: I am writing to ask the Esther B. Kahn Charitable Foundation for a grant of $14,223 to support the launch of a ground-breaking project, Opera Research Online at Boston University. Of the total cost of the project $24,223? we have received a grant of $10,000 from the Boston University Humanities Foundation, and applications to the National Endowment for the Humanities and the Kahn Foundation are pending. Opera Research Online, a new initiative based at Boston University, aims to broaden and educate the audience for opera. For its debut project, it is creating an interactive website focusing on Giacomo Puccini’s “American” opera The Girl of the Golden West (La Fanciulla del West) based on the play by American playwright David Belasco. The launch of this site will coincide with the centennial of the opera’s premiere (December 1910), and a centennial performance at the Metropolitan Opera on December 10, 2010. The site will then continue indefinitely as a vehicle to inform and stimulate dialogue among scholars, educators, students, and the general public. Using previously unknown archival material, interactive features, a virtual museum, iconography, video interviews, video streaming, and links to other sites, the website will be designed to inform and stimulate dialogue among scholars, educators, students, and the general public. In addition, Boston University will have an exhibition in early December 2010 of related materials from the University’s Howard Gotlieb Archival Research Center and host a symposium of specialists and scholars, such as Deborah Burton (Boston University), Carolyn Guzski (Buffalo State University), Harvey Sachs (Curtis Institute), Simonetta Puccini (the composer’s granddaughter) and Walfredo Toscanini (the conductor’s grandson).
