John Walker NADINE PHOTOGRAPHY PHOTO AMERICAN GUILD OF ORGANISTS ENDOWMENT FUND DISTINGUISHED ARTIST AWARD RECITAL AND GALA BENEFIT RECEPTION HONORING John Walker NADINE PHOTOGRAPHY PHOTO FRIDAY, APRIL 26, 2019 SHADYSIDE PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH PITTSBURGH, PENNSYLVANIA Congratulations, John, on your outstanding career as a performer, conductor and teacher, and thank you for your many contributions as a member of the Reuter Board of Directors 1991 - 1994 Len Levasseur Photography Opus 2175 April 26, 2019 Dear Friends, ELCOME TO THE 2019 AGO Endowment Fund Distinguished W Artist Award Recital and Gala Benefit Reception honoring our beloved friend, faithful colleague, and AGO Past President John Walker. We extend our heartfelt gratitude to Shadyside Presbyterian Church, its pastors and staff, for allowing us to share their spectacular sanctuary and magnificent organ with you tonight. We are deeply blessed by John Walker’s lifelong career as a teacher, performer, and minister of music. John has served our organization faithfully as president, vice president, treasurer, regional convention coordinator, and chapter dean. Throughout his career, he has been a champion of our professional certification program, earning our highest certificate, the Fellowship. John was a member of the task force that envisioned and created our highly popular and successful Pipe Organ Encounters program for youth and adults, now in its fourth decade of existence. During his presidency, he spearheaded efforts to put young people on our national committees and created new ways for us to encourage and nurture the next generation of church musicians and leaders. We are forever grateful for his leadership of the American Guild of Organists. We are also grateful for your support of the AGO—the largest organization of its kind in the world promoting a single musical instrument and the performers and listeners who enjoy organ music—through your gifts to the AGO Endowment Fund this evening. Although many schools around the country have discontinued their organ degree programs, the American Guild of Organists, founded in 1896, is here to stay. Your support of the AGO Endowment Fund helps to ensure that we will. All income from tonight’s Gala will be invested in John’s honor to support educational programs like Pipe Organ Encounters, our most effective means of ensuring that there will be organists in churches and concert halls for generations to come. If you have already made a contribution, thank you! If not, please make a gift to honor John online at Agohq.org/2019-gala. Finally, we extend our deepest gratitude to John Walker, the women’s choir, Mark Anderson, and Joseph Kneer for the performance we are about to experience. Thank you again for your support and for being here this evening. Sincerely, Michael Bedford, AAGO, CHM President The mission of the American Guild of Organists is to foster a thriving community of musicians who share their knowledge and inspire passion for the organ.

  • Martin Cloonan Introduction an Attack on the Idea of America
    MUSICAL RESPONSES TO SEPTEMBER 11TH: FROM CONSERVATIVE PATRIOTISM TO RADICALISM Martin Cloonan Introduction I want to propose something very simple in this paper: that the attacks which took place on 11 September 2001 were attacks on the very idea of America. This is not a new idea. It was cited by the New York Times soon after the attack and subsequently by the cultural critic Greil Marcus (2002). But what I want to add is that as time went on it became clear that the mu- sical responses which were made were defences of America. However, there were not uniform responses, but diverse ones and that is partly be- cause the idea of America is not settled, but is open to contestation. So what I want to do in the rest of this paper is to first examine notion that the attacks on 11 September were an attack on the idea of America, look briefly at the importance of identity within popular music, chart initial musical reactions to the events and then look at longer term reactions. An attack on the idea of America The attacks on 11 September were strategically chosen to hit the symbols of America as well as the reality of it. The Twin Towers symbolised American economic power, the Pentagon its military might. This was an attack on the psyche of America as well as its buildings and people. Both the targets were attacked for propaganda purposes as much as military ones. What more devastating way could have been found to show rejection of America and all it stands for? But the point I want to note here is that America itself is a contested notion.

  • Moments of Observation
    John Walker Moments of Observation Sheldon Museum of Art January 18–July 14, 2019 Introduction and Beer With a Painter: John Walker, Revisited by Jennifer Samet ohn Walker’s recent paintings are about a compression of energy: forms and patterns J locked into one another. There is an urgency to his most recent paintings, a directness that is about that relationship between a person and a place, and the impulse to record that relationship through mark making. It is symbolized by how the forms lock into one another: the penetration of earth and shallow water. I think about the painting by Cezanne, The Bay of Marseilles, Seen from L’Estaque, which is also about water and shore locking into one another like mirroring, perfect jigsaw puzzle pieces. For more than fifteen years, Walker has turned his attention and gaze to Seal Point, Maine, where he lives and works. But in the newest paintings, Walker pares down his formal vocabulary to elements like patterns of zigzag lines, painterly, irregular grids, oval-shaped forms and dots. They are abstractions, but they are also landscape paintings that turn the genre on its head. They are oriented vertically, rather than the horizontal format we traditionally code as landscape. The horizon line is pushed to the uppermost portion of the canvas so that only a thin band of form suggests sky, clouds, sun or moon. Instead, Walker focuses on the patterns that form when earth and water meet. And in this area of Maine, the inlets and bays are as much about mud as they are about water.

  • FREDERICK SWANN Biography
    Download as a Word doc FREDERICK SWANN Biography Frederick Swann is past President (2002-2008) of the American Guild of Organists, an organization of over 20,000 members in Chapters throughout the United States and several foreign countries. He is Organist Emeritus of the Crystal Cathedral and of the First Congregational Church of Los Angeles, and Organ Artist-in-residence at St. Margaret’s Episcopal Church in Palm Desert, California. Mr. Swann is also University Organist and Artist Teacher of Organ at the University of Redlands. One reviewer noted that Mr. Swann has probably presided over more ranks of pipes and stopknobs than any other organist in history. This is perhaps true given the size and prominence of the instruments with which his career has been notably associated: Riverside Church in New York City (1957-1982); The Crystal Cathedral in Garden Grove (1982-1998); and First Congregational Church of Los Angeles (1998-2001). Mr. Swann holds degrees from Northwestern University and the School of Sacred Music at Union Theological Seminary in New York, each granted “with distinction.” In addition to his prominent church positions, he was for ten years Chair of the Organ Department at the Manhattan School of Music and served on the faculties of Teacher’s College of Columbia University, and the School of Sacred Music at Union Theological Seminary in New York City. In 2015 the Royal Canadian College of Organists honored Mr. Swann with the conferral of their highest academic award, FRCCO, honoris causa. Although officially “retired,” Mr. Swann continues to perform on a reduced schedule of solo recitals and in concert with orchestras and choral groups.
