His researches seem to them a waste of time and energy. Interest in ancestors, love of family and kindred, those subtle questions of race, origin, even of life itself, which they involve, are quite beyond their com prehension. They live only in the present, care nothing for the past and little for the future; for " he who cares not whence he cometh, cares not whither he goeth." When such persons are approached with questions of ancestry, they retire to their stronghold of apathy; and the querist learns, without diffi culty, that whether their ancestors were vile or illustrious, virtuous or vicious, or whether, indeed, they ever had any, is to them a matter of supreme indifference.

  • History of Barbershop
    HISTORY OF BARBERSHOP By David Krause and David Wright Definition of barbershop harmony. Read: Definition of Barbershop Harmony, from the Forward of the Contest and Judging Handbook. The Purpose Of This Course. We will attempt to trace the roots and the evolution of barbershop harmony from well before its actual beginnings up to the present. We will try to answer these questions: What were the tides of history which spawned the birth of the barbershop quartet, and what environment allowed this style of music to flourish? What were its musical forerunners? What are its defining characteristics? What other types of music were fostered contemporaneously, and how did they influence the growth of quartet singing? Which styles are similar, and how are they similar? How did the term "barbershop" arise? How long did the historical era of the barbershop quartet last? What other kinds of music sprang forth from it? Why did the style eventually need preservation? How was SPEBSQSA formed, and how did it become a national movement? What other organizations have joined the cause? How have they coped with the task of preservation? Are current day efforts still on course in preserving the style? How has the style changed since the Society was formed? We will spend the next few hours contemplating and attempting to answer these questions. Overtones. As barbershoppers, we are very conscious of the "ringing" effect which complements our singing. We consider it our reward for singing well- defined pitches in tune. The fact that a tone produced by a voice or an instrument is accompanied by a whole series of pitches in addition to the fundamental one which our ear most easily detects has been known for centuries.

    Copyright by Kyle Stewart Barnett 2006 The Dissertation Committee for Kyle Stewart Barnett certifies that this is the approved version of the following dissertation: Cultural Production and Genre Formation in the U.S. Recording Industry, 1920-1935 Committee: Thomas Schatz, Supervisor James Buhler John D.H. Downing James Hay Mary Celeste Kearney S. Craig Watkins ii Cultural Production and Genre Formation in the U.S. Recording Industry, 1920-1935 by Kyle Stewart Barnett, B.A., M.A. Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of the University of Texas at Austin in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy The University of Texas at Austin August, 2006 iii To Lisa Most of the recordings issued throughout the twentieth century were never simply marketed to or purchased by a huge undifferentiated ‘mass’ audience. Instead, the industry has, since its formation, sold music to the fans of particular styles, through a variety of changing labels…. In addition the recording industry has employed various legal and illegal, small-scale and team-based, marketing and promotional activities as a way of approaching consumers – practices which might well be labeled as ‘flexible.’ – Keith Negus, “Music Divisions: The Recording Industry and the Social Mediation of Cultural Production,” When the music business gets involved in promoting a style of music, it typically adopts colloquial terms that are verbs or adjectives and turns them into nouns – that is, into things, marketable objects that can be promoted, sold, and bought by a mass audience. – Larry Starr and Christopher Waterman, American Popular Music from Minstrelsy to MTV iv Acknowledgements I have relied on the help of many friends and colleagues in completing this project.

  • HISTORY of BARBERSHOP Compiled by David Wright
    HISTORY OF BARBERSHOP compiled by David Wright Lesson 3: DECLINE Glenn Howard. Glenn was born May 29, 1902, in Decatur, and became avidly interested in harmony early at age seventeen when a group of harmonizers called on him to fill in the bass to "Bright Was the Night". A quartet man all his life, Glenn lived his later years in Cisco, Illinois, near Decatur. He consented to be interviewed by the author at his home in February of 1986, and on that day, he opened the doors of his memory. As we conversed, his smiling wife Kate was sitting in the next room writing, in view, and from time to time she would offer her recollections as well. The 85 year old Glenn Howard vividly recalled a lifetime devoted to quartet harmony. For many years Glenn was the only man alive who had attended every convention of our Society. But those events represented only the later memories for Glenn. He had been a quartet man for nearly twenty years before the Society was formed. An example of a non-professional quartet of the era was the one he formed in 1919 at age seventeen. It was called the Oriole Quartette; Glenn initially sang bass, later lead. This quartet continued through the decade of the 1920's — a long life for a nonprofessional quartet. These avid songsters, especially Glenn and baritone Floyd Meier, attended every event in the vicinity at which a professional quartet appeared. Glenn gave assurance that minstrel shows were still in existence into the 1930's, and that they nearly always had a quartet.

  • Carousel of American Music”--George M
    “Carousel of American Music”--George M. Cohan, Irving Berlin, Johnny Mercer, Arthur Freed, Shelton Brooks, Hoagy Carmichael, others (September 24, 1940) Added to the National Registry: 2015 Essay by David A. Banks (guest post)* Ann Ronell Gene Buck William William Grant Still I In September 1939, New York's Mayor Fiorello La Guardia ran into Gene Buck, President of the American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers (ASCAP). Buck and La Guardia talked about the war in Europe, which was adversely affecting the New York World's Fair (1939-1940), with many nations dismantling their pavilions. The Mayor wondered if something could be done to take New Yorkers' minds off the war news. Buck mentioned that ASCAP was observing its 25th anniversary. ASCAP was founded to collect royalties for its membership by licensing their works for public performances. ASCAP's membership includes the greatest names in popular and classical music. La Guardia suggested a series of concerts to celebrate the anniversary. Buck agreed saying, “We will put on a show for you the likes of which has never been seen anywhere.” The “New York Times” ran a frontpage story, “Gala Week of Free Music in City to Be Held to Allay Gloom of War.” “We'll having everything from ballads to opera,” said the mayor, “from symphony to swing, and the program will be a monument dedicated to art and to peace.” The Gala Week was a hit, with ASCAP members continuing to give concerts until the end of the Fair. Concurrently, the Golden Gate International Exposition was being held in San Francisco on Treasure Island.

  • HISTORY of BARBERSHOP Compiled by David Wright
    HISTORY OF BARBERSHOP compiled by David Wright Lesson 2: THE GOLDEN AGE The quartet enters its heyday. We have seen that interest in quartet singing had blossomed in the late 1800's, encouraged by trends in popular music that produced songs that were easy to harmonize. Amateur quartet singing was further encouraged by the professional quartets which sang in the minstrel and vaudeville shows, and which recorded on the new recording companies like Edison, Victor, and Columbia. Further development of amateur quartet activity. The early 1900's was indeed the age of the male quartet. There were thousands of amateur quartets. Lodges, churches, granges, fraternities, service clubs, companies, corporations, police and fire departments, and even baseball teams all had foursomes singing under their sponsorship. It should be noted that this was still the practice in the early days of our Society, when many of the quartets had names like Topeka's State Journal Quartet, Shell Quartet, Phillips 66 Barflies (formerly the Bartlesville Barflies), New York Police Quartet, Westinghouse Quartet, Lions Club Serenaders, Gipps-Amberline Four (Gipps-Amberline was a beer brewed in Peoria, Illinois.) Family quartets were common, and the better ones became professional, making recordings and doing concerts. There were also neighborhood and family quartets organized less formally. Young boys formed quartets on the street corner. We know for a fact that this actually happened, because one such quartet was George Burns' Peewee Quartet, in which he sang tenor when he was eight years old. In his book Living It Up he talks about singing in saloons and passing the hat on New York's Lower East Side.
