The Functional Music of Gail Kubik: Catalyst for the Concert Hall
The Functional Music of Gail Kubik: Catalyst for the Concert Hall Alfred W. Cochran From the late 1930s through the mid-1960s, three composers for the concert hall profoundly influenced American music and exerted a strong influence upon music in the cinema-Virgil Thomson (1896-1989), Aaron Copland (1900-90), and Gail Kubik (1914-84). Each won the Pulitzer prize in music, and two of those awards, Thomson's and Kubik's, were derived from their film scores. 1 Moreover, both Thomson and Copland earned Academy Awards for their film work. 2 All three men drew concert works from their film scores, but only Kubik used functional music as a significant progenitor for other pieces destined for the concert hall. An examination of his oeuvre shows an affinity for such transformations. More common, perhaps, was the practice of composers using ideas derived from previously composed works when writing a film score. In Kubik's case, the opposite was true; his work for radio, films, and television provided the impetus for a significant amount of his nonfunctional music, including chamber pieces and orchestral works of large and small dimension. This earned well-deserved praise, including that of Nadia Boulanger, who was Kubik's teacher and steadfast friend. Kubik was a prodigy-the youngest person to earn a full scholarship to the Eastman School of Music, its youngest graduate (completing requirements in both violin and composition), a college teacher at nineteen, the MacDowell Colony'S youngest Fellow, and the youngest student admitted to Harvard University'S doctoral program in music. In 1940, he left the faculty of Teachers College, Columbia University and became staff composer and music program advisor for NBC. -

Women Cattle Drovers Discussion (Oct 1996)
H-Women Women Cattle Drovers Discussion (Oct 1996) Page published by Kolt Ewing on Thursday, June 12, 2014 Women Cattle Drovers Discussion (Oct 1996) Query from Heather Munro Prescott Prescott @ccsua.ctstateu.edu 23 Oct 1996 A student asked me whether it was true that women were used as cattle drivers in the nineteenth century West. I told her I had never heard of this. Is it true? Query X-Posted to H-West Responses: >From Stan Gibson [email protected] 24 Oct 1996 ...I think the answer depends on what is meant by "cattle driving." IMHO, 19c women on the ranges were usually too smart to get entangled in long drives to shipping or sale points--if they did so, they probably were also too smart to boast about it, especially when they were aware of the hardscrabble wages offered. As for the 19c cowmen, there wasn't much reason to note the roles played by their unpaid womenfolks. Moving cattle from summer to winter pasture, and other short drives, however, were undoubtedly common--and probably acceptable--chores for ranchers' wives, daughters, and perhaps even the odd girlfriend. It must have been nice change from heating water on woodstoves, separating and churning, giving birth without nitrous oxide or spinal blocks, and just generally being "useful" back at the ranch. A day or two in the saddle, even today, is fun--and, from my observations recently, still fairly common on western ranches. I have also noted that the well-praised western male courtliness can have its limits, depending on the circumstances. -

The Broken Ideals of Love and Family in Film Noir
1 Murder, Mugs, Molls, Marriage: The Broken Ideals of Love and Family in Film Noir Noir is a conversation rather than a single genre or style, though it does have a history, a complex of overlapping styles and typical plots, and more central directors and films. It is also a conversation about its more common philosophies, socio-economic and sexual concerns, and more expansively its social imaginaries. MacIntyre's three rival versions suggest the different ways noir can be studied. Tradition's approach explains better the failure of the other two, as will as their more limited successes. Something like the Thomist understanding of people pursuing perceived (but faulty) goods better explains the neo- Marxist (or other power/conflict) model and the self-construction model. Each is dependent upon the materials of an earlier tradition to advance its claims/interpretations. [Styles-studio versus on location; expressionist versus classical three-point lighting; low-key versus high lighting; whites/blacks versus grays; depth versus flat; theatrical versus pseudo-documentary; variety of felt threat levels—investigative; detective, procedural, etc.; basic trust in ability to restore safety and order versus various pictures of unopposable corruption to a more systemic nihilism; melodramatic vs. colder, more distant; dialogue—more or less wordy, more or less contrived, more or less realistic; musical score—how much it guides and dictates emotions; presence or absence of humor, sentiment, romance, healthy family life; narrator, narratival flashback; motives for criminality and violence-- socio- economic (expressed by criminal with or without irony), moral corruption (greed, desire for power), psychological pathology; cinematography—classical vs. -

How Top Editors Cut Dialogue Scenes
How They Cut Dialogue Scenes None of the available books about film editing give any principles for cutting dialogue scenes in movies, nor do interviews with practising editors give any real guidance on this point. The important thing about dialogue scenes is that they occur in all films, whereas car chases and musical numbers and so on do not, so cutting dialogue must be a basic part of editing technique. The variables that seem to be significant can be shown by using some cutting points in John Ford‟s The Grapes of Wrath (1940). Obviously the most common type of cut from one shot to the next inside a dialogue scene is that made at the same point in time on the picture and sound tracks, somewhere inside the gap between one speaker finishing speaking, and another replying. This can be illustrated in the following diagram, based on what one sees on the computer screen when editing. I measure this sort of cut by counting the number of frames from the end of the last speech sound in the outgoing shot to the picture cut (length 'A' above), and the number of frames from the picture cut to the first speech sound (length 'B' above) in the incoming shot. An alternative description of this measurement is that the A length runs from the beginning of the pause between the voices of the two speakers to the picture cut, and the B length runs from the picture cut to the end of the pause, at the point when the second speaker begins to reply. -
