SUZANNE BLOCH IRENE HESKES June 1976 VIII [Photo. Self Portrait: Bloch and his children, Geneva, Switzerland, 1911 (left to right: Lucienne, Suzanne, Ivan and EB] IX FOREWORD In 1956 the JWB Jewish Music Council dedicated the festival theme of Jewish Music Month to "The Music of Ernest Bloch." At that time a program manual was compiled with the purpose of guiding the many organizations that planned lectures and concerts dealing with Bloch. I was asked to assist Leah Jaffa who organized the material. Though at first my father had been skeptical about the project, he warmly approved of it when he saw the results. Over the following years, that program manual was a useful source of information to individuals and groups. After Bloch's death, it became increasingly evident that there were very few practical and up-to- date sources of information on his life and music. Irene Heskes, Director of the JWB Jewish Music Council, broached the subject to me, suggesting that an expanded program manual on Ernest Bloch was very much needed. I agreed wholeheartedly to make a new edition of the old resource book, and thought we would simply add information that had not previously been available. In the process, what was to be a modest brochure grew as we met and planned, while I gathered material. Soon it became imperative that this manual should become the first comprehensive collection of information on Bloch's works including publication sources, a complete discography, and a section of program notes for all the works. I used as much as I could from Bloch's own writings, and also added my own notes. We further decided to augment these materials with articles -- biographical and informative -- thus giving life to this collection. Being the musician in our family, Bloch's music has been my responsibility since his death. He left sketches well-classified on his shelves, with masses of pedagogical notes stemming from the many courses he gave. The total comprises an immense amount of material, such as several booklets with his counterpoint studies. At the age of forty-eight, he decided he needed to do these again. In the studies is to be found a study of basso ostinato in the mixolydian mode whose theme, repeated over and over in different rhythms, is the one he used as a base for his Avodath Hakodesh. Included also are detailed analyses of Bach's fugues from the "Well Tempered Clavichord," the pages of studies of Beethoven sketches used for his courses on Beethoven's "Eroica" and other works. All the musical examples were written out by him in the most beautiful penmanship, as if he cherished every note he put down, and all this with much commentary appended. There are also notes in French outlining the 110 lectures Bloch gave in Geneva between 1911 and 1916. At the time, he was also writing what is generally called his "Jewish Cycle." There are lectures he gave in the United States after he settled here. Thus, besides his compositions, there remains the essence of his deep thinking, and of the constant studies which he continued to the end of his life. It has also been my task to be currently engaged in writing his biography, and emotional as well as arduous load, for facing the myriads of his letters bring back moments of torment and crisis. Bloch was all of many people, true to his many facets, never reticent, wanting to share all he felt with the ones near him. In such close relationship, X one cannot help being subjective at first, and at times it has been difficult to find the right perspective. Yet, already looking back on the many decades, there stands the consistent strength of Bloch's musical integrity, never swerving from the idealized vision of the art he wished to serve and so dramatically expressed already in his own teenage letters. There was also a great family feeling, this Hebraic traditon deeply ingrained, creating conflicts with his artistic temperament, conflicts that tore at him at times, but which in the end were resolved with a family unity that would continue after his death in the sense of the heritage received by his children. An Ernest Bloch Society had originally been founded in England in 1937, with Albert Einstein as Honorary President, and with a roster of such important names as Sir Thomas Beecham, Serge Koussevitzky, Havelock Ellis, Romain Rolland, Ralph Vaughan Williams, Sir Henry Wood and Sir Donal Tovey. For that earlier Society, concerts had been given and articles written, leaving an impact still felt to this day. With the advent of World War II, and its devastation of London, the Bloch Society had to dissolve. In 1967 it was decided, with the encouragement of many musicians, to revive that Society here in this country.

Bloomington: Indiana University Press, 1995. xiii + 264 pp., illustrations, notes, bibliography, index. $29.95 clothbound. $14.95 paperbound. Choreographing History and Dance Historiography Choreographing History, a collection of essays edited and introduced by Susan Leigh Foster, explores the pitfalls and possibilities inherent in writing about the body and its cultural emanations. Since its publication in 1995, I have used essays from the book to help dance graduate students push their thinking beyond the studio and their own physical experience and to realize the varied resources, approaches, and theoretical positions possible in writing about the body. The collection contains some excellent movement description and also theoretical language so dense as to obscure any communication of ideas. I recently reread the book in search of information on dance historiography. There are few works on the methods, problems, and progress of historical writing in dance. Selma Jeanne Cohen's Next Week, Swan Lake is the best-known book, although the introductions to most histories and a few articles also explore the subject (1). Foster in her introduction and Susan Manning, Cynthia Novack, and Lena Hammergren in their contributed essays provide a substantial addition to this body of work. Foster begins her essay by exploring the problems movement poses for writing history.

  • Andy Warhol, Fred Herko, and Dance
    Real PRofessionals? Andy Warhol, Fred Herko, and Dance Paisid Aramphongphan f all the Judson Dance Theater dancers, Andy Warhol was “absolutely fasci- nated with” Fred Herko, the relatively unknown Judsonite who jumped out Oof a window to his death in 1964.1 Prior to Herko’s untimely death, Warhol had captured his dance on film. Recently preserved and made available for public screening, Jill and Freddy Dancing (4 minutes, silent, black & white) is a gem of a short. It brings together Herko and the Village Voice dance critic and Judson Dance Theater champion Jill Johnston, showing their dancing on a New York rooftop, antici- pating the rooftop dances of Trisha Brown a decade later. From above, the camera shows the rectangular shape of their dancing space that, cordoned off with railings reminiscent of the ballet barre, is like an outdoor dance studio. The film starts with Johnston, tall and slim in a long dress, with long hair, standing on a chair close to the middle of the frame. She unwinds her arms and sways her hips in a rhythmic motion. Herko, slim, muscular, shirtless and in tights, enters from the left with a regal bearing. He dances around her, executing precise balletic turns and arresting jumps. Johnston holds her own as Herko goes all out. Later they dance opposite one another, feeding off each other’s movement. His torso erect throughout, Herko is formal as he approaches her, taking deliberate long steps with arms raised high in the balletic fourth and fifth positions. Johnston faces him and responds to his movement, sometimes mirroring him but deliberately adding her own looser twist, at times seemingly drunk.
