That fall we went to see someone ued the tradition, once buying a music box with the name Looff who was selling a Parker carousel with a Wurlitzer 125 trumpet and a date of 1910. I thought “there is more to this than just a band organ. Seeing that organ was love at first sight, but the box that plays music.” So I searched for and found a book on owner was leaving for Florida for the winter. I thought about the history of carousel animals. We read about the talented that organ all winter and when he came back I bought one immigrant carvers and the different carousel companies and Parker carousel horse in pieces, the 125 organ and a carving styles.

Music Boxes? • Before the Music Box • Early Music Boxes • Music Box Advances • Changeable Disc Music Boxes • 20Th Century Music Boxes
AMICA International Automatic Musical Instrument Collectors' Association AMICA Articles A History of the Music Box By Thaddeus Kochanny of the Chicago AMICA Chapter • What are music boxes? • Before the music box • Early music boxes • Music box advances • Changeable disc music boxes • 20th Century music boxes Part 1. What are music boxes? Webster's defines "music box" as a case containing an apparatus for producing music mechanically, as by means of a comb-like steel plate with tuned teeth. Pins set in the surface of a revolving cylinder or disk sound the teeth. Over a century ago, more people owned music boxes than any other type of automatic musical instrument. The mechanisms were put in jewelry boxes, windup toys, holiday novelties and clocks. Music boxes come in several types. Pinned brass cylinders lead, followed by disc. Punched metal discs and the rare pinned discs, tapered metal "cuffs" with plucking projections, even paper rolls and punched cardboard "books", all play using plucking action applied to the teeth of the comb. Today's music box mechanisms come inside many different packages. Designs range from children's motifs to cheeseburgers. They can be hand cranked, contain clock works and a cylinder or perforated disc. Music boxes are snuffbox sized to console scale. New music box prices vary from a few dollars to over forty thousand dollars. There are music box clocks, pocket watches, jewelry cases, water globes, miniature pianos, and humidors. Almost anything imaginable can be a music box. Where did the music box get its start? Part 2. Before the music box Some say that the Ancient Greeks were obsessed with creating mechanical living beings. -

Social Discourse in the Savoy Theatre's
SOCIAL DISCOURSE IN THE SAVOY THEATRE’S PRODUCTIONS OF THE NAUTCH GIRL (1891) AND UTOPIA LIMITED (1893): EXOTICISM AND VICTORIAN SELF-REFLECTION William L. Hicks, B.M. Thesis Prepared for the Degree of MASTER OF MUSIC UNIVERSITY OF NORTH TEXAS August 2003 APPROVED: John Michael Cooper, Major Professor Margaret Notley, Committee Member Mark McKnight, Committee Member James C. Scott, Dean of the College of Music C. Neal Tate, Dean of the Robert B. Toulouse School of Graduate Studies Hicks, William L, Social Discourse in the Savoy Theatre’s Productions of The Nautch Girl (1891) and Utopia Limited (1893): Exoticism and Victorian Self-Reflection. Master of Music (Musicology), August 2003, 107 pp., 4 illustrations, 12 musical examples, references, 91 titles. As a consequence to Gilbert and Sullivan’s famed Carpet Quarrel, two operettas with decidedly “exotic” themes, The Nautch Girl; or, The Rajah of Chutneypore, and Utopia Limited; or, The Flowers of Progress were presented to London audiences. Neither has been accepted as part of the larger Savoy canon. This thesis considers the conspicuous business atmosphere of their originally performed contexts to understand why this situation arose. Critical social theory makes it possible to read the two documents as overt reflections on British imperialism. Examined more closely, however, the operettas reveal a great deal more about the highly introverted nature of exotic representation and the ambiguous dialogue between race and class hierarchies in late nineteenth-century British society. Copyright, 2003 by William L. Hicks ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Because of the obscurity of The Nautch Girl and Utopia Limited, I am greatly indebted to the booksellers Christopher Browne and Wilfred M. -
FWWH Revised Songbook ―This Camp Was Built to Music Therefore Built Forever
FWWH Revised Songbook Revised Summer 2011 ―This camp was built to music therefore built forever‖ These are the songs sung by Four Winds and Westward Ho campers – songs that have expressed their interests and ideals through the years. As you sing the songs again, may they recall memories of sunny days, and some misty and rainy ones too, of sailing on sparkling blue water, of cantering along leafy trails, of exploring the beach when the tide is out. May these songs remind you of unexpected adventure, and of friendships formed through the sharing of Summer days, working and playing together. 1 Index of songs A Gypsy‘s Life…………………………………………………….7 A Junior Song……………………………………………………..7 A Walking Song………………………………….…….………….8 Across A Thousand Miles of Sea…………..………..…………….8 Ah, Lovely Meadows…………………………..……..…………...9 All Hands On Deck……………………………………..……..…10 Another Fall…………………………………...…………………10 The Banks of the Sacramento…………………………………….…….12 Big Foot………………………………………..……….………………13 Bike Song……………………………………………………….…..…..14 Blow the Man Down…………………………………………….……...14 Blowin‘ In the Wind…………………………………………………....15 Boy‘s Grace…………………………………………………………….16 Boxcar……………………………………………………….…..……..16 Canoe Round…………………………………………………...………17 Calling Out To You…………………………………………………….17 Canoe Song……………………………………………………………..18 Canoeing Song………………………………………………………….18 Cape Anne………………………………………………...……………19 Carlyn…………………………………………………………….…….20 Changes………………………………………………………………...20 Christmas Night………………………………………………………...21 Christmas Song…………………………………………………………21 The Circle Game……………………………………………………..…22 -

1920 1 MEDORAH London run: Alhambra, January 22 nd – March 13 th (60 performances) Music: Vada Ennem Book & Lyrics Denn Spranklin English adaptation: Rupert Hazell English lyrics : Adrian Ross Additional numbers : John Ansell Director: E. Dagnell Choreographer: Will Bishop Musical Director : John Anstell Cast: Leo Stormont ( Sultan), Ada Reeve (Medorah), W.S. Percy ( Dadoolah), Jamieson Dodds (Vernon Grant ), Leslie Stiles ( Ambassador Manston), Margaret Campbell ( Mrs Manston) Songs: Tomorrow’s Another Day, There’s Always a Drawback, Like a Dream. Wonderful Joy, Hope Again, Love and My Soul Alone Story: In Caravanistan beauty is measured in physical bulk, the heavier the better. The Sultan’s eldest daughter, Medorah, is thin, too thin to be an eligible bride. Chancellor Dadoolah suggests she is sent to America for the purposes of putting on weight – a suggestion that delights her because she has fallen in love with Vernon Grant, the man who accompanied the American ambassador and his wife to a reception in the Sultan’s palace. They meet again in Washington, and when she is summoned back to Caravanistan , Vernon secretly follows. Meantime, after various adventures, Vernon is captured and forced to work as a slave in the Sultan’s household. With no hope of marrying his underweight daughter to a prince, the Sultan condemns her to marry his new slave – and thus Medorah and Vernon are happily united. Notes: The original publicity declared that “Medorah” was jointly produced by Mr. Bernard J. Hishin and Sir Oswald Stoll, but within a week of opening, the show was subject to a legal dispute in the Court of Chancery, with Violet Melnotte claiming (and winning) half-ownership in the copyright of the English version of this Dutch original.
