The plow is similar to one- drawn by five yoke of oxen and used in clearing Thure Kumlien's Kosh- konong farm in the 1840's. One such plow described by the Rev. Alfred Brunscn measured 16 feet in length, 12 inches deep, and 8 inches wide, and cut a furrow 24 inches wide. When sharp, the plow would cut off roots " as big as your leg." The front team was called the " snatch team," because it was easily detached and swung to the rear of the plow to pull it back when needed. For more details on pioneer farming conditions, see Mrs. Main's article on Thure Kumlien in this issue. Photograph by courtesy of D. W. North of Edgerton, WISCONSIN MAGAZINE of HISTORY Jp^> Volume 27 September 1943 Number 1 Chats with the Editor I Y THE time you read these words, this Society's second annual historical convention will have been held at Milwaukee. Wartime conditions for long made it uncertain whether we could have the meeting. But the Milwaukee County Historical Society was anxious to show us Milwaukee, and the Board of Curators of the STATE HISTORICAL SOCIETY thought our first J,T convention at Green Bay last year too fruitful a ., . beginning to be abandoned. By holding the meeting ^ .in the population center of the state and during the Convention , :* , , ^ ., n , . x . x week (Thursday and .Friday, September 16-17), a minimum of strain was put on transportation and hotel facilities. A Committee on Local Arrangements headed by Frederic Heath, president of the Milwaukee County Historical Society, and with Albert Schnabel, treasurer of that society, as executive secre- tary worked hard to make our stay in Milwaukee both instructive and pleasant. The program included a session on "Old Milwau- kee" with papers by William George Bruce and Mr. Heath of Milwaukee and by Professor W. B. Hesseltine of the University of Wisconsin; a complimentary luncheon at the Schlitz Brown Bottle; a pilgrimage ending with a reception given by the Colonial Dames of Wisconsin at the Kilbourntown House in Estabrook Park; the annual banquet followed by a Folk Dance Festival directed 1 2 CHATS WITH THE EDITOR [September by Miss Dorothy Enderis of the Milwaukee Public Schools and a one-act play on the founding of Milwaukee entitled "A City for Josette," written by Margaret Paulus and directed by Miss Enderis; a session on collecting war records with addresses by John G. Gregory and Richard E. Krug of Milwaukee and Guy A. Benson of Racine; and a luncheon meeting at which George R. Howitt, director of the Wisconsin State Council of Defense, spoke on "Wis- consin at War." The December issue of this Magazine will carry a full account of the meeting, and several of the historical addresses delivered there will appear in the Magazine during the year. SPEAKING OF MILWAUKEE reminds us of the excellent work being done there by a committee of the Wisconsin Society of Colonial Dames. This society is composed of threescore or so of very lively „ ^ , . ladies who long ago formed the habit of working The Colonial 7 , , . 6, , , _._.? ^ for th e publiu c good . TLast year one or the Mil- Dames as . J . ^ „ waukee newspaper columnists had occasion to look Collectors . £ . __ into the war activities of the Colonial Dames. He confessed later that he started with some little prejudice ("after all their name is so damn forbidding"), but when he had seen them working at blood procurement centers, home nursing and accident prevention, civilian defense and USO, etc., etc., the re- porter concluded that Colonial Dames were only kindly Aunt Minnies in disguise. Nearly everyone interested in Wisconsin history knows some- thing of the historical projects of the Colonial Dames in Wisconsin. Without them the Indian Agency House (1832) at Portage would not have been saved as a historical museum. Without their aid the Kilbourntown House (1844) might not be welcoming visitors at Estabrook Park in Milwaukee. Not so many people, perhaps, know of the efforts of the Colonial Dames to place worthwhile historical manuscripts with the STATE HISTORICAL SOCIETY. A few years ago the late Mrs. Charles M. Morris of Milwaukee had 1943] CHATS WITH THE EDITOR 3 charge of such work, her motto being: "The discard of today often becomes the treasure of tomorrow." Last winter the Colonial Dames agreed to revive this historical work and to gather manuscripts, books, pictures, and museum articles on early Wisconsin and Milwaukee. Mrs. Arthur T. Hol- brook and Mrs. Martin A. Fladoes became co-chairmen of a Com- mittee on Wisconsin Historical Materials composed also of Mesdames Loyal Durand, Elmore C. Lane, Frank H. Lindsay, Ludington Patton, Frederick L. Sivyer, James F. Trottman, Guido C. Vogel, and Charles D. Weeks. The committee has been gather- ing materials with vigor, and the Milwaukee County Historical Society, Milwaukee Public Museum, Milwaukee Public Library, and STATE HISTORICAL SOCIETY have all begun to profit from its work. Milwaukee attics and cellars are yielding useful historical materials to be placed where they will do the most good. The WISCONSIN HISTORICAL SOCIETY welcomes such cooperation from the Colonial Dames and from other women's organizations interested in Wis- consin's significant past. THIS SOCIETY is happy to announce the publication of a memorial volume in honor of the late Dr. Joseph Schafer, its superintendent from 1920 to 1941. The book is entitled Joseph Schafer, Student , , of Agriculture, and contains essays on Dr. Schafer, Joseph Schafero7 ' * . J „ , . the historian, by the late Louise Phelps Kellogg, Student of . ' . , . , senior research associate or this Society, and on Dr. Schafer, the man, by his friend, Clarence B. Lester, secretary of the Free Library Commission of Wisconsin, together with an exhaustive bibliography of Dr. Schafer's writings compiled by Everett E. Edwards and Thomas J. Mayock, agricultural historians of the Bureau of Agricultural Economics in the Depart- ment of Agriculture at Washington. A reproduction of the portrait of Dr. Schafer painted in 1940 by Christian Abrahamsen is used as a frontispiece. 4 CHATS WITH THE EDITOR [September For more than twenty years Dr. Schafer patiently conducted research in Wisconsin history, and every worker in that field for years to come will owe much to Dr. Schafer's meticulous studies. He carried forward the ideas of his great teacher, Frederick Jackson Turner, and made a beginning on a Domesday Book for Wisconsin to show just how the land and the early agricultural settler re- acted on each other. This little volume (Pp. x, 67) has been sent to all our exchanges, to the local historical societies which are auxiliary members of the STATE HISTORICAL SOCIETY, and to the libraries on our membership list. The edition of 1,000 has not yet been exhausted, and we shall gladly send each member who requests one a copy as long as the supply lasts. THE ROCKEFELLER FOUNDATION has recently granted the Uni- versity of Minnesota $50,000 to be spent over a three-year period in financing the preparation of biographies, histories, novels, and ,, ,. plays about the Central Northwest, which means , . the states of Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa, North _. Dakota, and South Dakota. Both new and estab- lished writers are eligible for the fellowships. The amount available will vary with the needs of the individual case. A committee headed by Theodore C. Blegen, dean of the Graduate School, will administer the fund. Letters of inquiry enclosing a stamped and addressed envelope for reply should go to Miss Helen Clapesattle, 103 Wesbrook Hall, University of Minnesota, Minne- apolis 14, Minnesota. We do hope that Wisconsin writers will take advantage of these research grants, and this Magazine will always be ready to consider printing historical articles on Wisconsin which may be by-products of such work. PRESIDENT TITUS wrote us a note recently to suggest that we urge each member of this Society to give a membership to one 1943} CHATS WITH THE EDITOR 5 of his or her friends. We think that is a good idea. The other day _ ^ one of our friends who had seen this Magazine for the Do Yourr • . , . first time told us she is going to give her teen-age son . a membership for his birthday and that a friend of Shoppino g ,.-,., , , i v y hers intends to give her teen-age daughter a member- ship for Christmas.

    OPERA IN ENGLISH: CLASS AND CULTURE IN AMERICA, 1878–1910 Kristen M. Turner 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 2015 Approved by: Annegret Fauser Mark Evan Bonds John Nádas Katherine K. Preston Philip Vandermeer ©2015 Kristen M. Turner ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Kristen M. Turner: Opera in English: Class and Culture in America, 1878–1910 (Under the direction of Annegret Fauser) European grand opera performed in English translation was a potent cultural force in the United States at the end of the long nineteenth century. Analysis of business correspondence, theater records, advertisements, reviews, and social commentaries, reveals that rhetoric about opera engaged with issues of class, race, gender, and nationalism. Critics identified foreign-language grand opera as a high art, suitable primarily for the upper class and educated listeners. In contrast, writers viewed the same operas sung in English as entertainment for a middle-class audience who wished to enjoy opera in the vernacular performed by American singers. Southern small towns, such as Raleigh, North Carolina, used English-language opera and art music to reinforce racial boundaries and to project a civic identity as a refined, middle-class city. The African American community, as a result of segregation and oppression, had different conceptions about art, class, and culture than the white majority. African American writers framed English-language performances by the all-black Theodore Drury Grand Opera Company as a way to resist racial tyranny by emphasizing the skill of the troupe’s singers and the sophistication of its educated black audience.

  • Invigorating the American Orchestral Tradition Through New Music
    FEARLESS PROGRAMMING: INVIGORATING THE AMERICAN ORCHESTRAL TRADITION THROUGH NEW MUSIC Octavio Más-Arocas A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF MUSICAL ARTS August 2016 Committee: Emily Freeman Brown, Advisor Timothy F. Messer-Kruse Graduate Faculty Representative Marilyn Shrude Kenneth Thompson © 2016 Octavio Más-Arocas All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Emily Freeman Brown, Advisor Despite great efforts by American composers, their prodigious musical output has been mostly ignored by American orchestras. Works by living American composers account for an annual average of only 6% of all the music performed by American orchestras, while works by living composers of all nationalities combined totals a meager 11%. This study examines some of the historical breaking points in the relationship between American orchestras and new music. Five exceptional orchestras are cited, the New York Philharmonic, Los Angeles Philharmonic, Chicago Symphony Orchestra, the Atlanta Symphony, and the Seattle Symphony, that are thriving while successfully incorporating new music in their programing. This document draws attention to the significant role new music can play in the future of American orchestras by analyzing the programing of new music and projects that support composers, identifying innovative orchestral leaders and composers who have successfully served in advisory positions, and by recognizing and discussing the many creative strategies orchestras are using today. This document attempts to increase the understanding of the need for change in concert programing while highlighting several thrilling examples of innovative strategies that are making an essential contribution to the future of orchestral music.

  • Emilio and Emily Calamara: a Tale of Two Musicians Sheri Mignano Crawford
    Emilio and Emily Calamara: A Tale of Two Musicians Sheri Mignano Crawford It is not an unusual story when two musicians fall in love but this is a tale of two musicians with successful careers and intertwined lives that did not end well. The unraveling of their world and how they became estranged has been shrouded in mystery. Even their contributions and accomplishments have remained mostly unknown and underappreciated. It begins with a well- respected harp guitarist who fell in love with a married woman who taught mandolin. A young handsome Italian immigrant Emilio Calamara encountered a regal bourgeois American woman with roots allegedly dating back to the American Revolution. Emily Regina Jeanette “Nettie” Welch, née Macomber and Signore Calamara both excelled at being the best in their fields and associated with the finest musicians, received stellar recognition from their peers and in particular, from a fellow Chicagoan, luthier Joseph Bohmann. In exchange for solicited endorsements and testimonials, their reciprocal arrangement with Bohmann expected that they performed on his musical instruments. As his stable of musicians grew, Bohmann greatly amplified his prestige and standing among luthiers and musicians. It is no different today when a manufacturer and a musician agree upon mutually satisfying benefits. Emilio and Nettie Calamara were not naïve about the stress-related pressures associated with brand loyalty; however, in the course of their marriage and professional careers, other decisions ultimately damaged their marital and professional partnership. And in the end, they would pay dearly. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ In the autumn of 1872 Gregorio Calamara and his son Emilio departed from the port of Gibraltar on the Ismailia and arrived at Castle Garden.1 Their last residence had been Siracusa, Sicily.

    THE RHETORIC OF DEMOCRACY IN AMERICAN MUSICAL DISCOURSE, 1842–1861 Molly Leeanna Barnes 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. Chapel Hill 2016 Approved by: Mark Evan Bonds Tim Carter Annegret Fauser Katherine Preston Philip Vandermeer © 2016 Molly Leeanna Barnes ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT MOLLY LEEANNA BARNES: The Rhetoric of Democracy in American Musical Discourse, 1842–1861 (Under the direction of Mark Evan Bonds) In the United States, art music has long operated in an uneasy cultural space, divided between associations with the elite and aspirations to mass appeal. This tension became especially acute in the antebellum years, when dramatic changes to the country’s social and political landscape, including massive immigration from Europe, conflict over the institution of slavery, and increasing social and economic inequalities posed serious threats to the democratic American experiment. These circumstances prompted many commentators to voice idealistic hopes about the capacity of classical music in general and instrumental music in particular to unify, uplift, and democratize American society. This dissertation examines antebellum American public discourse about classical music and the powerful rhetoric that promoted this music as a means of realizing the ideal of democratic egalitarianism during a period of palpable discord. Commentaries about music and its social role in newspapers, periodicals, and magazines generally addressed one or more of three interrelated currents. First, the spiritual aspect of art music—the tradition of Kunstreligion inherited from early-nineteenth-century central Europe— figured prominently for many writers.

Although the inadequacy of the extant evidence causes scholars by nature to lament, in matters of political import it also encourages guilt and anger. The subject of immigrant cultural resources can also suggest a different agenda: an effort to determine what American music libraries are and are not, could be or can never be, want to be but may be helpless to be. In a sense the strengths of America's music libraries were achieved largely at the neglect of all but two of its immigrant communities.
