    Guilt, Forgiveness, and Reconciliation in Contemporary Music

    IS SORRY REALLY THE HARDEST WORD? GUILT, FORGIVENESS, AND RECONCILIATION IN CONTEMPORARY MUSIC Ariana Sarah Phillips-Hutton Darwin College Department of Music University of Cambridge This dissertation is submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy September 2017 ABSTRACT IS SORRY REALLY THE HARDEST WORD? GUILT, FORGIVENESS, AND RECONCILIATION IN CONTEMPORARY MUSIC Ariana S. Phillips-Hutton Guilt, forgiveness, and reconciliation are fundamental themes in human musical life, and this thesis investigates how people articulate these experiences through musical performance in contemporary genres. I argue that by participating in performances, individuals enact social narratives that create and reinforce wider ideals of music’s roles in society. I assess the interpenetrations of music and guilt, forgiveness, and reconciliation through a number of case studies spanning different genres preceded by a brief introduction to my methodology. My analysis of Arnold Schoenberg’s A Survivor from Warsaw illustrates the themes (guilt, confession and memorialisation) and approach I adopt in the three main case studies. My examination of William Fitzsimmons’s indie folk album The Sparrow and the Crow, investigates how ideals of authenticity, self-revelation, and persona structure our understanding of the relationship between performer and audience in confessional indie music. Analyses of two contemporary choral settings of Psalm 51 by Arvo Pärt and James MacMillan examine the confessional relationship between human beings and God. I suggest that by

    Testimony of Adam Hartke Co-Owner – Wave & the Cotillion Advocacy

    DECEMBER 15, 2020 Testimony of Adam Hartke Co-owner – Wave & The Cotillion Advocacy Committee Co-Chair - National Independent Venue Association (NIVA) Before the U.S. Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, & Transportation Subcommittee on Manufacturing, Trade, & Consumer Protection Hearing on “Examining the Impact of COVID-19 on the Live Event Entertainment Industry” Good morning Chairman Moran, Ranking Member Blumenthal, and distinguished members of this committee. Thank you for inviting me to testify. My wife and I are small business people who co-own two live music venues in Wichita, Kansas, Wave and The Cotillion. I also serve as advocacy committee Co-Chair for the National Independent Venue Association (NIVA), a coalition of nearly 3,000 independent music venues and promoters in all 50 states and DC that formed as a response to the pandemic. My career in the live music industry began 20 years ago, as a student at Kansas University (KU) and a member of the promotions staff at the student run radio station KJHK, hanging posters, working merchandise tables at shows, and helping bands carry gear. My early aspirations came from hearing stories of my grandparents working shows at The Cotillion Ballroom in Wichita in the 1960s. My grandfather helped manage the facility, and my grandmother worked the box office. My uncle, who worked on the artist management and label side of the music industry for 45 years, also captured my attention as a child and seeded my future career. In the years following my time at KU, I moved back to Wichita with the goal of creating a thriving live music industry in my hometown.
