This year’s annual report features the AHC’s digital collections. For a number of years we have been actively digitizing some of our collections. During the past year, we completed large-scale digitization of three collections begun in previous years (the Moreton Frewen Papers, Ludwig-Svenson Studio Collection, and the Zdenek Salzmann Arapaho Indian research papers) and began scanning two additional large collections (Swan Company Records and Samuel H. Knight Collection), which will likely be completed in the coming year. In between, the AHC digitized a number of smaller collections and began making them accessible online via finding aid inventories. Four pioneer collections were digitized as part of our Westward Migration disk/website, which was created to support use of primary sources in middle and high school classrooms. This was done with the assistance American Heritage Center of a grant from the Gladys Keible Delmas Foundation grant. Three collections rich with information about Wyoming’s Johnson County War were scanned to facilitate access to these popular research items. A variety of other smaller collections were completed as well. In the coming year we plan to digitize significantly larger portions of our text-based collections, which will be enabled by the purchase of a new high-output scanner that will dramatically decrease the time it takes to scan collection material. A generous donation allowed us to purchase the scanner. We also have received a grant to digitize 2009-2010 Annual Report more of our finest Wyoming photographic collections.

  • An Analysis of Honegger's Cello Concerto
    AN ANALYSIS OF HONEGGER’S CELLO CONCERTO (1929): A RETURN TO SIMPLICITY? Denika Lam Kleinmann, B.M., M.M. Dissertation Prepared for the Degree of DOCTOR OF MUSICAL ARTS UNIVERSITY OF NORTH TEXAS May 2014 APPROVED: Eugene Osadchy, Major Professor Clay Couturiaux, Minor Professor David Schwarz, Committee Member Daniel Arthurs, Committee Member John Holt, Chair of the Division of Instrumental Studies James Scott, Dean of the School of Music Mark Wardell, Dean of the Toulouse Graduate School Kleinmann, Denika Lam. An Analysis of Honegger’s Cello Concerto (1929): A Return to Simplicity? Doctor of Musical Arts (Performance), May 2014, 58 pp., 3 tables, 28 examples, 33 references, 15 titles. Literature available on Honegger’s Cello Concerto suggests this concerto is often considered as a composition that resonates with Les Six traditions. While reflecting currents of Les Six, the Cello Concerto also features departures from Erik Satie’s and Jean Cocteau’s ideal for French composers to return to simplicity. Both characteristics of and departures from Les Six examined in this concerto include metric organization, thematic and rhythmic development, melodic wedge shapes, contrapuntal techniques, simplicity in orchestration, diatonicism, the use of humor, jazz influences, and other unique performance techniques.

ML134.T42S36 2015 016.78092--dc23 2014044640 Since I first went to Rome in 1922, Italian culture, the Italian people and the Italian language have been the strongest single influence on my intellectual and artistic development as a person and as a composer. So true is this that I cannot imagine what my life would be without all the bonds that bind me in loyalty and devotion to Italy and to my Italian friends. 13 June 1959 letter from Thompson to Alfredo Trinchieri Thompson always makes you think there is nothing as beautiful, as rich, or as varied as the sounds of the human voice.

Karnes, Scholars in Residence 2019 Irene Zedlacher, Executive Director Raissa St. Pierre ’87, Associate Director Founded in 1990, the Bard Music Festival has established its unique identity in the classical concert field by presenting programs that, through performance and discussion, place selected works in the cultural and social context of the composer’s world. Programs of the Bard Music Festival offer a point of view. The intimate communication of recital and chamber music and the excitement of full orchestral and choral works are complemented by informative preconcert talks, panel discussions by renowned musicians and scholars, and special events. In addition, each season Princeton University Press publishes a book of essays, translations, and correspondence relating to the festival’s central figure. By providing an illuminating context, the festival encourages listeners and musicians alike to rediscover the powerful, expressive nature of familiar compositions and to become acquainted with less well-known works. Since its inaugural season, the Bard Music Festival has entered the worlds of Brahms, Mendelssohn, Richard Strauss, Dvorˇák, Schumann, Bartók, Ives, Haydn, Tchaikovsky, Schoenberg, Beethoven, Debussy, Mahler, Janácˇek, Shostakovich, Copland, Liszt, Elgar, Prokofiev, Wagner, Berg, Sibelius, Saint-Saëns, Stravinsky, Schubert, Carlos Chávez, Puccini, Chopin, Rimsky-Korsakov, and Korngold.

Whiting, Co-Chair Professor Albrecht Riethmüller, Freie Universität Berlin, Co-Chair Professor Roland J. Wiley Professor Michael D. Bonner Associate Professor Mark A. Clague © 2010 Timothy David Freeze All rights reserved To Grit ii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS The road leading to the completion of this dissertation was longer and more scenic than I ever intended it to be. It is a great pleasure to acknowledge here the many individuals and organizations that provided support and encouragement along the way. I am especially grateful to the co-chairs of my committee. Without the unflagging support of Steven M. Whiting, whose sage counsel on matters musical and practical guided me from start to finish, this project would not have been possible. I am equally indebted to Albrecht Riethmüller, whose insight and intellectual example were a beacon by whose light this dissertation took shape. I would also like to thank R. John Wiley, whose extensive and penetrating feedback improved the dissertation and my own thinking in countless ways, and Mark Clague and Michael Bonner, both of whom provided valuable comments on content and style. In Ann Arbor, I would like to acknowledge the support of the entire musicology faculty at the University of Michigan. Louise K. Stein gave helpful advice in the early stages of this project. In Berlin, I benefited from conversations with Federico Celestini, Sherri Jones, and Peter Moormann.

  • By James O'leary
    by James O'Leary A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Bachelor of Arts with Honors in the Department of Music WILLIAMS COLLEGE Williamstown, Massachusetts May 20,2004 Nothing happens in a vacuum, including theses. First, I need to thank my friends who have endured ceaseless talk of Ravel, Surrealism, and deadlines. Jacob, Lili, Laura, and Liz have not only offered brilliant suggestions, but have also offered steadfast support (and a welcome willingness to procrastinate at the drop of a hat). Second, I must express sincere appreciation to Professor Hirsch, Professor Bloxam, and Professor Newman who have spent so much time offering their invaluable advice, be it on tackling Piano Concertos, pronouncing umlauts, or handling the senior year jitters. To my family, who hears it the least but deserves it the most, I owe undying gratitude. They have made many sacrifices so I could attend Williams, and throughout my four years they have been unshakably supportive and generous. Mom, Dad, Mike, Scott- thank you. Finally, I owe infinite gratitude to Professor Sheppard. Brilliant, kind, and inspiring, Professor Sheppard has completely reshaped the way I hear music in just four fast years, broadening my musical knowledge to include vastly different artistic movements and a wide array of different cultures. He has burst my musical vacuum, expanding my perspective to include a variety of music from Monteverdi to Joni Mitchell to Messiaen-and of course, Ravel. Furthermore, he has been incredibly generous with his advice, not only in advising this thesis while on leave, but still somehow managing to sacrifice his time to offer precious guidance about graduate school and senior year.
