  • A Caravan of Culture: Visitors to Emporia, Kansas by Charles E
    A Caravan of Culture: Visitors to Emporia, Kansas by Charles E. Webb INTRODUCTION hat do Ulysses S. Grant, "Buffalo Bill" Cody, Susan B. Anthony, Will Rogers, Ethel Barrymore, and Dr. \Verner Von Braun haye in common"? They were W among the hundreds of famous people that have visited EmpOria, Kansas during the past one hundred years. In­ dividuals and groups of national and international fame, represen­ ting the arts, seiencl's. education, politics, and entertainment, have pa~sed before Emporia audiences in a century long parade. Since 1879, this formidable array of personalities has provided informa­ tion and entertainment to Emporia citizens at an average rate of once eaeh fifteen days, The occasional appearanee of a famous personality in a small city may well be considered a matter of historical coineidence. When, however, such visits are numbered in the hundreds, arc fre­ quent, and persist for a century, it appears reasonable to rank the phenomenon as an important part of that eity's cultural heritage. Emporia, although located in the interior plains, never ae­ cepted the role of being an isolated community. It seems that the (own's pioneers eonsidered themselves not on the frontier fringi'" of America, but strategically situated near its heart. From the town's beginning, its inhabitants indicated an intention of being informed and participating members of the national and world communities. To better understand why Emporia was able to attract so many distinguished guests, a brief examination of its early development is required. In the formative years of the city's history wc may identify some of the events, attitudes, and preparations Ihat literally set the stage for a procession of renowned visitors.

  • Kryl and Zamecnik
    Selected Papers from the 2003 SVU North American Conference, Cedar Rapids, Iowa, 26-28 June 2003 Two Examples of Czech-Americans’ Influence in American Popular Musical Culture in the Early Twentieth-Century: Bohumir Kryl and J.S. Zamecnik Michael Cwach, Yankton, South Dakota There are many peoples from all corners of the earth who have helped to shape popular music in America. Two Czech-American figures, one born in Bohemia, the other in America, while at the height of their careers contributed their talents to America’s popular musical culture and entertainment. During the time of the “Golden Age of Bands 1865-1915,” (a period when nearly every town had a band), one of the greatest figures was the cornet virtuoso and bandleader Bohumir Kryl, a Czech born in Hořice near Hradec Králové. At the age of ten he began the study of the violin. “When Kryl was eleven years of age, he ran away with the circus where he became a tumbler, also doubling on the high trapeze. He started practicing on the cornet while travelling with the circus and was good enough in a few weeks to play in street parades. In 1889, at the age of fourteen, he sailed for America, working his way by playing both violin and cornet in the ship’s orchestra.”1 Before Kryl became known to audiences throughout America as a cornet soloist, he had a career as a professional sculptor. He worked on both the study in the home of General Lew Wallace in Crawfordsville, Indiana and on the Soldiers’ and Sailors’ Monument in Indianapolis, Indiana.

    Czech Music in Nebraska Ceska Hudba v Nebrasce OUR COVER PICTURE The Pavlik Band of Verdigre, Nebraska, was organized in 1878 by the five Pavlik brothers: Matej, John, Albert, Charles and Vaclav. Mr. Vaclav Tomek also played in the band. (Photo courtesy of Edward S. Pavlik, Verdigre, Neraska). Editor Vladimir Kucera Co-editor DeLores Kucera Copyright 1980 by Vladimir Kucera DeLores Kucera Published 1980 Bohemians (Czechs) as a whole are extremely fond of dramatic performances. One of their sayings is “The stage is the school of life.” A very large percentage are good musicians, so that wherever even a small group lives, they are sure to have a very good band. Ruzena Rosicka They love their native music, with its pronounced and unusual rhythm especially when played by their somewhat martial bands. A Guide to the Cornhusker State Czechs—A Nation of Musicians An importantCzechoslovakian folklore is music. Song and music at all times used to accompany man from the cradle to the grave and were a necessary accompaniment of all important family events. The most popular of the musical instruments were bagpipes, usually with violin, clarinet and cembalo accompaniment. Typical for pastoral soloist music were different types of fifes and horns, the latter often monstrous contraptions, several feet long. Traditional folk music has been at present superseded by modern forms, but old rural musical instruments and popular tunes have been revived in amateur groups of folklore music or during folklore festivals. ZLATE CESKE VZPOMINKY GOLDEN CZECH MEMORIES There is an old proverb which says that every Czech is born, not with a silver spoon in his mouth, but with a violin under his pillow.

  • A Study of the Bohemian Contributions to Horn Pedagogy
    “The Singing Style of the Bohemians” – A Study of the Bohemian Contributions to Horn Pedagogy, Including Western Perspectives on Czech Horn Playing and an Analysis of the Teachings of Zdeněk Divoký at the Prague Academy of Performing Arts 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 Tiffany N. Damicone, B.M., M.M. Graduate Program in Music The Ohio State University 2013 D.M.A. DocumentCommittee: Bruce Henniss, Advisor Joseph Duchi Charles Atkinson Kimberly Arcoleo Copyright by Tiffany N. Damicone 2013 Abstract This study presents the pedagogical methods of Horn Professor Zdeněk Divoký at the Prague Academy of Performing Arts and defines indicators of a Czech Republic nationalistic style of horn playing by comparing specific techniques observed in Prague with the standard horn pedagogy in the West. The results of observations and interviews suggest contradicting perspectives between the perceived and actual current traditions in the Czech Horn School. In addition, an examination of available scholarly articles, books, and recordings reveals key players and innovations within the horn traditions in the Czech Republic that provide context for the developments of these techniques. As an outcome of these interviews and observations the document presents indicators for Czech style including, but not limited to: phrasing, vibrato, tonal concepts, articulations, ear- training, dynamics, left hand technique, and exercises for embouchure development. The art of horn playing continues to develop as globalization creates an environment of collaboration. This research aims to extend an invitation to Czech scholars and pedagogues to share their core methods and philosophies with English-speaking audiences.

  • A History of Music Aurora, Illinois
    A HISTORY OF MUSIC IN AURORA, ILLINOIS BY JOHN REX McMULLEN EDITED BY KEVIN KAISERSHOT April 2020 Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements For the Doctor of Music Education degree Chicago Musical College August 1955 F O R E W O R D Let me start by saying that Dr. John R. McMullen was a friend of mine and that we shared the same birth date, albeit 40 years apart – July 27. We also share the experience of having both taught instrumental music in the Aurora East School District #131; he for 25 years and myself 31 years. I met and got to know him by way of his frequent visits to Aurora, Illinois in the late 1980s as I was directing the Aurora American Legion Band. Our conversations were primarily band related, but I got to know him personally and over the years we were regular pen pals. John promoted a great deal of my music via his association with the Sabbar Shrine Concert Band and the Beavers Tucson Concert Band. These two groups operated in the Tucson, Arizona community where John made his residence and where he was also an active playing member. My taking on the challenge of completely retyping his entire dissertation was a labor of love. After John told me about his dissertation, and that the only copy outside of his personal copy and one housed in the Chicago Musical College was in the Aurora, Illinois public library, I knew I had to find a way to read it. The only difficulty was that the Aurora library copy was designated “reference” and could not be checked out.
