Butler received degrees of Bachelor of Music Education from Oklahoma University, Master of Sacred Music from Union Theological Seminary in New York, and Doctor of Musical Arts (Composition) from the University of Missouri-Kansas City. As a composer, he has received various honors, such as Kansas "Composer of the Year" and the coveted ASCAP Standard Music Panel Award, every year since 1972. In 1983, he was selected outstanding alumnus by the University of Missouri-Kansas City. In 1986, Butler was honored with the prestigious Burlington-Northern Railroad recognition for Excellence in Teaching and also received the Distinguished Service Award from Johnson County Community College. In 1989, he received a National Teaching Excellence Award from the University of Texas-Austin. In 1991-92, Butler designed a study course and guide for Mozart's Don Giovanni under auspices of the National Endowment for the Humanities. To date, he has over 750 published compositions with 47 publishing houses, as well as numerous unpublished manuscripts. He is frequently busy on commissioned new works and in any given week of the year, the music of Eugene Butler will be heard in thousands of performances throughout the English speaking world. Dr. Butler served as Director of Choral Activities and Music Theory at Johnson County Community College in Overland Park, Kansas, a suburb of the greater Kansas City area. He was simultaneously Director of Music and the Arts at Valley View United Methodist Church in Overland Park, where he served for 28 years. He conducted the Johnson County Chorus, a fine civic choral group that sings throughout the Kansas City area. From 1960-1970 he served as Director of Music at First United Methodist Church in Wichita, Kansas. He has served as adjunct professor at the University of Missouri-Kansas City. On June 1, 1998, Eugene Butler resigned all teaching and conducting positions to compose full time. In honor of his years of service to the music community, a scholarship fund has been established at the Conservatory of Music, University of Missouri-Kansas City, to be awarded yearly to an outstanding student in choral conducting. He continues to accept choral commissions for school and professional chorus and for special church celebrations, such as dedication of new sanctuaries or church anniversaries. Eugene Butler is a busy adjudicator and workshop leader of composition seminars, choral and church music clinics, and new music repertory sessions. He has conducted and taught in 39 states, three Canadian provinces, and in England. Source: “Eugene Butler.” Alliancemusic.com. Alliance Music Publications, Inc., 2004. Web. July 2011.

    INFORMATION TO USERS This material was produced from a microfilm copy of the original document. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image. You will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part of the material being photographed the photographer followed a definite method in "sectioning" the material. It is customary to begin photoing at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue photoing from left to right in equal sections with a small overlap. If necessary, sectioning is continued again - beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. The majority of users indicate that the textual content is of greatest value, however, a somewhat higher quality reproduction could be made from "photographs" if essential to the understanding of the dissertation.

  • Anthony Braxton's Arista Recordings
    1 Anthony Braxton’s Arista Recordings “I thought Three Compositions of New Jazz would top the charts and sell a million copies! I thought the kids would be dancing in the streets to it!” --Anthony Braxton That confession has caused me many a rueful chuckle over the past four decades. Referring to one of the first recordings of his iconoclastic music, circa 1968, the artist’s words capture so well the Peter Pan spirit of the times just before its comeuppance. We countercultured baby boomers took the promises of the zeitgeist then so seriously, so proactively, on so many levels, all so impossibly naively. Love—as social justice, all human potential fully realized, universal brother/sister-hood...cosmic forces and entities terrible to some and wonderful to others, riding our music like some wild, bucking bronco—would sweep away the old and usher in the new. All lions would assume their new positions with all lambs in the new heaven on the new earth, and our dawning adulthood would see us sauntering off through the sunset of the old and into the sunrise of our brave new world, without a night in between them. Between 1968 and 1975, when the first of the 13 LPs reissued here came out, that night had fallen. It fell hardest with the assassinations (John and Robert Kennedy, Martin Luther King, a few years after Malcolm X), the Chicago Democratic Convention and Kent State violence, the worst and the end of the Viet Nam war, the rise of Nixon and his fall in Watergate. More music-specifically, we saw a golden age of rock music come and go through Woodstock and Altamont, and the rise and fall of Fillmores East and West.

Musicians and artists engaged with postmodernism through experimentation. They were searching for new possibilities, creating a work that consists of a “field of relation,” or a framework, from which the artist improvises. I posit that avant-garde jazz and avant-garde classical music were not as separate, as they are most often regarded, but a single impulse concerned with expression of intuitive, process-oriented music that grew from a few examples in the first half of the century to a true movement of American experimentalism in the 1950s. Considering composers such as John Cage, Earle Brown, and Morton Feldman alongside Cecil Taylor, Ornette Coleman, Charles Mingus, and Sun Ra enriches our understanding of the experimental impulse.

  • United Artists Consolidated Series
    United Artists Consolidated Series In 1972, United Artists changed their catalog numbering system to one consolidated system that included all the United Artists series and also the labels they owned or distributed. This consolidated series continued until the label was discontinued in 1981. The first two letters in the catalog number indicated the label (UA=United Artists, PP=Poppy, etc.) , followed by “LA”which designated an LP, followed by the catalog sequence number, with a letter suffix that was a pricing code. In 1979, when UA was sold to Capitol, the catalog numbers began reflecting the Capitol coding sequence (LT-, LOO-, etc.). Because the albums all used “LA”in the catalog number (until 1979), this consolidated series is often referred to as the “LA series.” United Artists “LA”Consolidated Series United Artists UA-LA-001-F - Doremi Fasol Latido - Hawkwind [1972] Brainstorm/Space In Deep/One Change//Lord of Light/Down Through The Night/Time We Left This World Today/The Watcher 002 Poppy PP-LA-003-F - Amanda - Amanda Tree [1972] Reissue of PYS 5707?
