It was during the Depression, and like so many oth- RESIDENTS AND STAFF ers, Norma’s father had lost his job. However, he had a friend whose mother lived in Northome, which is 40 miles north of Bemidji, Minne- 4 Stan Cyr (708) sota. Catching a real break, the family moved then to Northome to live free of rent, so they could get back on their feet. Norma’s par- 4 Mathew Fahrendorff – ents loaded the whole gang into a Model A Ford and moved there in 1934. Her father soon bought a farm across the road from the Staff – VS house.

Norma went to school in Northome from grade school to high school. They had little money but ate well on what 6 Shirley Mollan (405) they produced. Noma and her siblings went barefoot through the 8 Gemma Guthrie – Staff – summer and when dad sold fall hay crop, they could finally afford new shoes. Being since she was the younger of the girls, her sister SCDS was the one to learn all the housework from her mother. That left Norma to be “the boy”, learning how to cut wood, collect the eggs, 9 Ruby Alexon (615B) work in the garden, and other “hard” chores. These duties went to her brothers once they came along. Norma spent a lot of time play- 9 Carlos Mayes – Staff - ing with all of the farm cats and the dog. After school, Norma walked all over Bemidji to find a job but times were still hard and the econo- SCDS my up north was stagnant. Norma had a sister living in Minneapolis, so she headed south to the big city. She soon got a job at Dun & 10 Faye Reber (422) Bradstreet, a company that rates businesses. You may know them today as D&B Credit. During her working years, Norma had many 11 Clarice Nolte (402) mentors, but she will never forget Mr. Potts, a man with eyeglasses resembling Coke bottles! He asked Norma if she would like to learn 11 Barb Sisler (704) how to type. One to never miss an opportunity, Norma took him up 12 Ruth Danielson (619) on the offer. He loaned her a typewriter and gave her a ride home in his car, versus the streetcar, so she could haul the cumbersome ma- 15 Kayla Beelher– Staff—VS chine. Soon thereafter, this new skill helped get Norma into the typ- ing pool. Eventually she got into the insurance business where she 17 Pat Coy – staff – vs landed a job at Alexander and Alexander. This would lead to a life- long career in secretarial work. Norma’s younger sister had made 19 Diane Olson (406) her way to the Twin Cities and was living with Norma’s co-worker. One evening, her sister had a date with a man that Norma deemed 21 Betty Scully (804) too old for her. The duo wanted Norma to join them on a double date (with Norma’s side-gig Avon bag clumsily in tow). Norma was 22 Stella Lorberer (509) not interested in her “set up” but wanted to keep an eye on her little sister. Well, the “set-up” that Norma was uninterested in turned out 25 Ben Bury – Staff - SCDS to be more interesting than she expected, and soon the sparks flew! 26 Joan Weber (314B) Joe Leary was originally from Morton, which is west of the Twin Cit- ies. He was working at the Ford Plant and soon they were married. 26 Anna Nelson – Staff - Joe stayed at the Ford Plant for 47 years! The young couple pur- chased a house in South Minneapolis and Norma continued to work. SCDS Norma continued her professional work even through her pregnancy and birth of their son Michael. The Leary family enjoyed heading up 29 Ethel Allardyce (1018) north to visit Norma’s family and especially enjoyed time tramping around the North Shore. To make things even better, a number of 31 Judy Koznick– Staff—VS members of his family from western Minnesota also made their homes in Minneapolis, so they would spend quite a bit of time with them as well. Sadly, at the unusually young age of 66, Norma lost her husband Joe to Alzheimer’s Disease. Norma is especially close to her son and grandson Finn, who is six years old. She spent her re- tirement years doing volunteer work and spending time with friends. In June of 2019 Norma found Village Shores. Norma knew a few folks living here and felt that moving in would be a good decision, a choice she still believes. She loves living at Village Shores, especially the social aspects here. Norma has exercised acute precaution in her COVID safety, and greatly looks forward to the day when we can free ourselves from our masks and show our smiling faces again! Norma feels that she is at the exact right place to be at this time in her life. She finds it very comforting to know that. Norma is very friendly and looks forward to meeting you if she hasn’t already.

  • The Place of Piano and Clarinet in Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's Solo
    Arts and Design Studies www.iiste.org ISSN 2224-6061 (Paper) ISSN 2225-059X (Online) Vol.56, 2017 The Place of Piano and Clarinet in Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s Solo and Chamber Music Pieces Ozge Guncan * Ilkay Ak State Conservatory, Department of Music, Anadolu University, PO box 26050, Eskisehir, Turkey Abstract This study aims to gather information about piano and clarinet in the Classical Period and to show the importance of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s piano and clarinet music styles in solo and chamber music works. Classical Era takes place in the music history in the second half of the 18 th century as a period starting from 1750, which is accepted as J. S. Bach’s date of death to 1827, which was L. von Beethoven’s date of death. In this era, which lasted about 80 years, clarinet and piano played an important role in Mozart’s works. The study will explain clarinet and piano works of W. A. Mozart, who was a unique composer of the 18th century classical music and whose mastery has been unquestionable for ages, and discuss the style and characteristics of the era about the contributions he made both to that period and to the following periods. Mozart, who crammed more than 600 works into his short life, is a composer who has been an example for all generations and the music history. Starting from this point of view, the study will explain and exemplify the outlines related to solo and chamber musical repertoire of Mozart’s clarinet and piano music. Keywords: Mozart, Piano, Clarinet, Classical Period, Solo, Chamber Music.

  • The Clarinetist's Guide to the Performance of the Clarinet, Viola
    The Clarinetist’s Guide to the Performance of the Clarinet, Viola, and Piano Trios by Mozart, Bruch, and Larsen. D.M.A. DOCUMENT Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Musical Arts in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Adrienne Marie Marshall, M.M. & M.A. Graduate Program in Music The Ohio State University 2013 D.M.A. Document Committee: Caroline Hartig, Advisor, Karen Pierson Daryl Kinney Copyright by Adrienne Marie Marshall 2013 Abstract The purpose of this study is to provide clarinetists with a study guide for the teaching and performance of the clarinet, viola, and piano trios of Mozart, Bruch, and Larsen. A select bibliography of additional compositions for this medium is also provided. Performance practice details, technical suggestions, historical information, and publication details are included for each work. Although there is a sizeable repertoire for this combination of instruments, only a few works have become recognized as standards of the repertoire, including the trios of Mozart and Bruch. A newer addition to this medium is Libby Larsen’s Black Birds, Red Hills, which is likely to become integrated into the standard repertoire. An interview with composer Libby Larsen regarding new music and her compositions is included. It is recommended that complete scores be obtained to accompany this performance guide. The document will conclude with recommendations to further the creation and performance of this medium. ii Dedication This document is dedicated to my family, Christopher Lape, & Dr. Elfie Schults-Berndt. iii Acknowledgments I would like to thank my advisor Caroline Hartig, and committee members Karen Pierson and Daryl Kinney for their patience and guidance regarding scholarly research and writing for this document.

  • Dissertation Prospectus
    ABSTRACT Title of Dissertation: THREE COMPOSER-CLARINETIST PARTNERSHIPS: MOZART-STADLER, WEBER-BÄRMANN, AND BRAHMS-MÜHLFELD Jihoon Chang, Doctor of Musical Arts, 2010 Directed by: Professor Michael Votta School of Music Collaborations between composers and performers have been responsible for some of the masterworks of Western music, and the repertoire is replete with works inspired by a particular performer‟s tone, technical prowess, musical artistry, or passionate expression. The clarinet repertoire is unique in that major composers from three periods in music history partnered with clarinetists and produced masterworks for the instrument. The relationships explored in this performance project are those of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (1756-1791) to Anton Paul Stadler (1753-1812), Carl Maria von Weber (1786-1826) to Heinrich Josef Bärmann (1784-1847), and Johannes Brahms (1833-1897) to Richard Mühlfeld (1856-1907). While all the three clarinetists were masters of the instrument, they differed in their approach to the instrument and in the style of their playing, and the composers‟ differing styles added to the variety of the resulting works. The operatic tendencies of Mozart and Weber were incorporated into their clarinet music, although Mozart‟s was more ensemble-oriented, while Weber‟s tended to a solo-with-accompaniment design. Stadler‟s virtuosity overcame the relatively primitive five-keyed instrument of his time, and Mozart must have had complete trust in his ability. He was also a “drinking buddy” and Masonic brother of Mozart. Both the intimacy of the relationship and Stadler‟s mastery are apparent in the Clarinet Quintet, KV 581 (1789), and Clarinet Concerto, KV 622 (1791).
