Dietrich School of Arts & Sciences in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Pittsburgh 2013 UNIVERSITY OF PITTSBURGH Dietrich School of Arts & Sciences This dissertation was presented by Benjamin Pachter It was defended on April 8, 2013 and approved by Adriana Helbig Brenda Jordan Andrew Weintraub Deborah Wong Dissertation Advisor: Bell Yung ii Copyright © by Benjamin Pachter 2013 iii Wadaiko in Japan and the United States: The Intercultural History of a Musical Genre Benjamin Pachter, PhD University of Pittsburgh, 2013 This dissertation is a musical history of wadaiko, a genre that emerged in the mid-1950s featuring Japanese taiko drums as the main instruments. Through the analysis of compositions and performances by artists in Japan and the United States, I reveal how Japanese musical forms like hōgaku and matsuri-bayashi have been melded with non-Japanese styles such as jazz. I also demonstrate how the art form first appeared as performed by large ensembles, but later developed into a wide variety of other modes of performance that included small ensembles and soloists. Additionally, I discuss the spread of wadaiko from Japan to the United States, examining the effect of interactions between artists in the two countries on the creation of repertoire; in this way, I reveal how a musical genre develops in an intercultural environment.

The goals of this course are to sharpen your writing, reporting, and critical thinking skills, as well as teach you about news values, ethics, copy editing, interviewing, fact-checking and how to accurately report on and write about a diverse world on deadline. This course covers the basics of writing and reporting hard news stories, including courts and local government. Next semester you’ll take JOUR 307, Reporting and Writing II, which will cover writing features, profiles and other formats, pitching and developing stories, and the basics of broadcast journalism. By the end of this course, you will understand what makes an event newsworthy — worth covering — and know how to produce accurate, well-written, well-sourced news stories on deadline. We’ll also discuss the journalism industry’s code of ethics, its role in a democratic society, and its current and past strengths and failings. This introductory newswriting and reporting course takes on a special urgency given the fragile state of our democracy. A poll in June by Monmouth University found nearly one-third of Republican do not believe President Joe Biden legitimately won the election. The man he defeated incited a deadly attack on the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6 in a plot to overturn the election.
