60 Years and Eagerly Looking to the Future February, 2006 Volume 17 Motifs Number 1 A Publication of the Midwest Clinic A DEFINING ACCOMPLISHMENT— 60 Years and Eagerly Looking to the Future ith fondness and joy I recall the 25th wedding anniversary that my wife, Molly, and I celebrated with family and friends. We laughed a lot and marveled at how quickly those 25 W years had passed. Last December, just after the Midwest Clinic, we celebrated our 42nd year together and looked forward to that very special “Golden” milestone that is still ahead of us. After all, a 50th anniversary celebration becomes a time for special moments, events, and memories relishing past accomplishments, just as it was for the Midwest Clinic’s 50th year with special concerts, clinics, guests and the much-anticipated publishing of “The First 50 Years” by Victor and Marilea Zajec. Recently I was looking through this fantastic book and was once again struck by the wealth of our history and the incredible changes, growth and impact this organization has had on our profession. Every one of the last 59 conferences has included individuals who attended the first Midwest Clinic, a band reading session, in 1946. Richard Brittain is one of these individuals. A Midwest Clinic board member since 1974, he has informed us he will retire from the board following this year’s conference, after having served in so many capacities, so faithfully for six decades. The Midwest Clinic has valued and appreciated his years of service and practical leadership. Midwest This special edition of the Motifs focuses on the types of truly outstanding experiences you can have at the Midwest Clinic. Included on page 19 is a preview of some of the acclaimed guests who will be appearing at our 60th Anniversary Celebration this December. If you have ever considered coming to Chicago, or are a regular attendee, this conference will be a defining moment as we celebrate our heritage and exhibit our commitment to the future of the Midwest Clinic and instrumental music education. While we have experienced amazing changes and growth, thanks to your loyal support our efforts will only intensify in order to provide the most valuable, creative, and educationally sound environment possible. We will strive to provide the highest professional standards in promoting our mission. Please join us as we celebrate the accomplishments of the past 60 years. The following quotation certainly relays our view of the past and the future of the Midwest Clinic. “Celebrate what you’ve accomplished but raise the bar a little higher each time you succeed.” — Mia Hamm As the Midwest Clinic looks forward to our 75th and even 100th anniversaries, we desire to keep raising the bar a little higher. We sincerely admire and respect all of you in our profession and thank you for making the Midwest Clinic the amazing event it is each and every year. Please join us in Chicago and help us celebrate this milestone achievement, our 60th anniversary. Safe travels, good health and a pleasant spring to all of you. Ray E.

  • Nicholas Falcone, the Band Director You've Probably Never Heard of By
    Nicholas Falcone, The Band Director You’ve Probably Never Heard Of By Joseph Dobos and William Berz This article was written for the Journal of the World Association for Symphonic Bands and Wind Ensembles and is used with permission. It might be tempting to assume that most of the early leaders of college bands of the teens and 1920s were, themselves, students in collegiate band programs. Looking at the role of the University of Illinois Band program under the leadership of Albert Austin Harding during this era, such assumption would appear to be true. “Harding’s contributions to the development of the collegiate band program affected nearly every aspect of college bands.”1 Many of Harding’s students became leaders in the early collegiate band world. Some of the most notable include, Mark Hindsley, his successor at Illinois, Raymond Dvorak at Wisconsin, Glenn Cliffe Bainum at Northwestern, Keith Wilson at Yale, Guy Duker at Illinois, Clarence Sawhill at UCLA. Others such as William D. Revelli and Frederick Fennell were deeply influenced by Harding.2 In this era of training future college directors, Harding’s mark certainly left a lasting impression that is the norm in present times. Harding’s pioneering work with public school directors through the National Band Clinic and other activities helped to establish important links between bands and music education that still exist.3 However, the training of the early collegiate band conductors was not as homogenous as it might appear. The two Falcone brothers, Nicholas and Leonard, each led important and emerging college bands beginning in the 1920s.

  • The History and Development of the Ohio State University Concert Wind Band Program from 1929 – 1995
    The History and Development of The Ohio State University Concert Wind Band Program from 1929 – 1995 Thesis Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Arts in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Jennifer Marie Blair, B.M. Graduate Program in Music The Ohio State University 2010 Master's Examination Committee: Dr. Daryl Kinney, Advisor Dr. Patricia Flowers Dr. Russel Mikkelson Copyright by Jennifer Marie Blair 2010 Abstract From humble beginnings, the concert wind bands at The Ohio State University developed from a utilitarian campus group to a nationally recognized program, serving the artistic, educational, and aesthetic needs of the students for whom it exists. From an educational standpoint, the Ohio State band program is not alone in this development. Across the country, similar wind groups began as makeshift military bands, fashioned loosely in the style of traveling professional groups from the early twentieth century. As these bands became established campus ensembles, eventually serving the academic needs of music departments and schools, directors began to selectively model their programs on the philosophical and educational trends of the day. Reflective of the national progression of the wind band movement, the Ohio State band directors demonstrated a desire to perform original and often contemporary literature, to replicate the instrumentation of other leading university band programs, and to seek performance opportunities that would bring recognition to the ensemble and attract talented prospective students. As opportunities and resources grew for band directors at Ohio State, value-based decisions were made, which resulted from the directors' own philosophical views on performance and education, limited only by the support and funding provided by campus administrators.

    The American Bandmasters Association Past Presidents by Victor William Zajec, 2000 (Chicago, IL, March 4, 1923 - Homewood, IL, January 26, 2005) Revised by Raoul F. Camus, ABA Historian, 2019 Past Presidents of the American Bandmasters Association by Victor Zajec, Honorary Life Member and ABA Historian, was published in 2000. It was as much a history of the organization as that of the past presidents, and contained prefaces by several ABA presidents—Bryce Taylor, Stanley F. Michalski, Jr., and Edward S. Lisk. Except for the biographies, most of this information is presently available on the ABA web site. The ABA Board of Directors decided against reprinting the book and chose to put the biographies of the past presidents on the website in chronological order Additional information provided by Vincent J.
