    ABSTRACT Title of Dissertation: SELECTED WORKS OF COMPOSERS ASSOCIATED WITH HOWARD UNIVERSITY Guericke Christopher Royal, Doctor of Musical Arts, 2018 Dissertation directed by: Professor Chris Gekker School of Music Throughout its over 100 year history, Howard University has produced and attracted many talented composers of many musical genres. Limiting this project to any one genre or focus would have lessened the overall impact of the music they created and the inspiration that has been a lauded part of the institution. The project will demonstrate the various harmonic, melodic, rhythmic and emotional contributions of the selected composers through interpretation of their music on the trumpet. Composers have been connected to the university in three general ways: as students, alumni and faculty; as commissioned artists; and through the performance of their works by notable performers associated with Howard. The pieces selected for this project exemplify a wide range of musical expressions and compositional techniques, and hopefully have been presented in a way that allows the emotional impact of each piece to resonate in a unique fashion. The selected works tended to fall into the categories of A. Trumpet and Brass Works B. Spirituals/ Meditational/ Religious Works C. Popular and Jazz Pieces D. Organ or other Instrumental Works E. Works of Historical Reference or Significance In some cases, certain pieces may be categorized across multiple categories (e.g. an organ piece based on religious material). As this was also a recording project, great care was taken during the recording process to capture as much emotional content as possible through stereo microphone techniques and the use of high quality equipment.

    21M.410 / 21M.515 Vocal Repertoire and Performance Spring 2005 PROGRAM NOTES Edward Boatner (1898-1981), arranger Didn’t My Lord Deliver Daniel? When I Get Home Edward Hammon Boatner was born on November 13, 1898 in New Orleans, Louisiana to the family of an itinerant minister. Boatner’s father, Dr. Daniel Webster Boatner traveled frequently from church to church, and thus provided his son an introduction to rural church singing. Edward Boatner received his musical education at Western University in Kansas, the Boston Conservatory, New England Conservatory, the Longy School of Music, and the Chicago College of Music. In his lifetime, Boatner arranged and published more than 200 spirituals, with written works including Story of the Spiritual: Thirty Spirituals and Their Origins, and the spiritual musicals, The Man of Nazareth and The Origin of the Spirituals. His arrangements have been recorded by Roland Hayes, Marian Anderson, Paul Robeson, Leontyne Price and Nelson Eddy. Boatner achieved acclaim as a singer and also served as music director of the National Baptist Convention (1925-1933), as music director at Samuel Huston College in Austin and as Dean of Music at Wiley College. He also operated a studio in New York City where he trained choral groups, gave private voice and piano instruction, and trained actors. An avid writer, Boatner published books on music theory and composition. Writings include The Damaging Results of Racism, Black Humor, Great Achievements in Black and White and the novel One Drop of Blood (New York Public Library, Digital Library Collections). Edward Boatner died in New York in 1981, leaving a legacy of developing the concert spiritual genre in which elements of folk song and art song are blended.

    Texas Roadhouse Partners with Country Music Artist Ayla Brown

    October 15, 2013 Texas Roadhouse Partners with Country Music Artist Ayla Brown American Idol Finalist Will Appear at Restaurants Across America LOUISVILLE, Ky.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Texas Roadhouse is proud to partner with Nashville recording artist Ayla Brown. The six- foot-tall, former American Idol finalist and starter for the Boston College women's basketball team is the newest member of the Texas Roadhouse family. Brown's upbeat patriotic song, "Pride of America," co-written by Brown, Charlie Hutto and Courtney Dashe, will be featured on every Texas Roadhouse jukebox across America. Throughout the year, guests will have the chance to meet Brown at free meet and greet events at the restaurant. "Texas Roadhouse has a long history of supporting rising country music artists," said Travis Doster, Senior Director of Public Relations. "A lot of Ayla's music promotes the U.S. military, which aligns perfectly with the Texas Roadhouse tradition of supporting those who protect our country." While only 25-years-old, Brown has a long list of accomplishments including recording multiple albums, national and local performances, involvement with charitable causes, and serving as a national news correspondent for The Early Show on CBS. In 2012, Ayla released a self-titled country music album from her record company, Ambient Entertainment. Her first single release, "Goodbye for Good," stayed strong at #1 on CDBaby.com's Country Rock, Country Pop, and Overall Country charts.
