AUCTION CLOSES MIDNIGHT SUNDAY 29Th OCTOBER 2017 OFFERS INVITED by Mark Berresford Rare Records The Chequers, Chequer Lane, Shottle, Derbyshire, DE56 2DR, England. Tel: (+44) 1773 550275 Email: [email protected] Postage and packing in purpose-built new boxes extra. Winners only notified. Condition, as ever, guaranteed. Minimum bid unless stated £8/$10, however I reserve the right to refuse bids I consider unrealistic. HOW TO BID Basically, there are two ways of bidding; first is the simple Straight Bid - you offer a fixed amount for an item and if yours is the high - est bid, you win. Secondly, and easier for those more familair with internet auctions, and for those collectors unsure of what to offer, is the Maximum Bid. You offer a bid to a maximum amount, which will be increased in 10% increments over the nearest bid up to your maximum amount. For example, you bid to a maximum of $100 on an item, but the next highest bid is $20 - you will pay $22, i.e. 10% over the the next highest bid. In the event of a tie the fixed bidder, or earliest-placed bid wins. IMPORTANT! Please make clear the system of bidding you are using and currency you are bidding in (Pounds Sterling, Euros or US Dollars). If you have a maximum budget to spend, please advise with your bids. Please also double check your item numbers when bidding - I do not use titles or issue numbers on my auction spreadsheet, so if you bid on the wrong number and win it, it’s yours! Payment by all major Credit and Debit Cards (not AmEx or Diners) as well as £ and US$ personal checks and Paypal and Transferwise.

Topics addressed include national identity and race relations as well as the difficulties of analyzing popular music. GOALS OF COURSE: The goal of this course is to give you a sound musical, historical, and critical sense of the Tin Pan Alley type of song, of the changes in style and role that characterized such songs over several generations, and of the various kinds of responses they have generated. Questions we will consider include 1) musical ones (e.g. What repertories does the term “Tin Pan Alley song” designate? In what ways is it useful to discuss the musical characteristics of such songs [their history? their structure? the various styles and mediums that made use of such songs? the identity of the artists who presented them?]] How might we assign musical value to this general category of song, and how might we evaluate individual songs within this category? Why is the Tin Pan Alley song typically denigrated in contrast to jazz, blues, and rock music? What happened to this type of song in the late 1940s and the 1950s, both before and during the transition to rock and roll?); and 2) cultural ones (e.g.

Introduction Workforce Snohomish, a local workforce development board (WDB) located in Everett, Washington, is getting ready to launch a renewed focus on Snohomish County’s ambitious Blueprint Strategic Planning and Implementation process. Workforce Snohomish was a founding member in Snohomish County’s pioneering efforts to design services that address the needs of local targeted industry sectors through the Snohomish County Blueprint Partnership. The Partnership, formed in 2003 and active through 2015, was comprised of representatives from Snohomish County Government; the local economic development council; the local workforce development council; every public K-20 educational institution operating in Snohomish County as well as a private industry educational organization; and an aerospace industry association. The initial charge of the Partnership was threefold: 1. Lay the groundwork for the development of plans and programs supporting targeted sectors through the efficient and cost-effecting use of federal, state, and local resources; 2. Make the case that Snohomish County is a region for the development of the sectors; and 3.

    .1,::! THE HARLEM RENAISSANCE: A HANDBOOK A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF ATLANTA UNIVERSITY IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF ARTS IN HUMANITIES BY ELLA 0. WILLIAMS DEPARTMENT OF AFRO-AMERICAN STUDIES ATLANTA, GEORGIA JULY 1987 3 ABSTRACT HUMANITIES WILLIAMS, ELLA 0. M.A. NEW YORK UNIVERSITY, 1957 THE HARLEM RENAISSANCE: A HANDBOOK Advisor: Professor Richard A. Long Dissertation dated July, 1987 The object of this study is to help instructors articulate and communicate the value of the arts created during the Harlem Renaissance. It focuses on earlier events such as W. E. B. Du Bois’ editorship of The Crisis and some follow-up of major discussions beyond the period. The handbook also investigates and compiles a large segment of scholarship devoted to the historical and cultural activities of the Harlem Renaissance (1910—1940). The study discusses the “New Negro” and the use of the term. The men who lived and wrote during the era identified themselves as intellectuals and called the rapid growth of literary talent the “Harlem Renaissance.” Alain Locke’s The New Negro (1925) and James Weldon Johnson’s Black Manhattan (1930) documented the activities of the intellectuals as they lived through the era and as they themselves were developing the history of Afro-American culture. Theatre, music and drama flourished, but in the fields of prose and poetry names such as Jean Toomer, Langston Hughes, Countee Cullen and Zora Neale Hurston typify the Harlem Renaissance movement. (C) 1987 Ella 0. Williams All Rights Reserved ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Special recognition must be given to several individuals whose assistance was invaluable to the presentation of this study.

Pope 「ダイナ」の多面性 ──戦前アメリカと日本における一つの流行歌とそのレコード── エドガー・W・ポープ 要 約 1925年にニューヨークで作曲された「ダイナ」は、1920・30年代のアメリ カと日本両国におけるもっとも人気のあるポピュラーソングの一つになり、 数多くのアメリカ人と日本人の演奏家によって録音された。本稿では、1935 年までに両国で録音されたこの曲のレコードのなかで、最も人気があり流 行したもののいくつかを選択して分析し比較する。さらにアメリカの演奏家 たちによって生み出された「ダイナ」の演奏習慣を表示する。そして日本人 の演奏家たちが、自分たちの想像力を通してこの曲の新しい理解を重ねる中 で、レコードを通して日本に伝わった演奏習慣をどのように応用していった かを考察する。 1. Introduction “Dinah,” published in 1925, was one of the leading hit songs to emerge from New York City’s “Tin Pan Alley” music industry during the interwar period, and was recorded in the U.S. by numerous singers and dance bands during the late 1920s and 1930s. It was also one of the most popular songs of the 1930s in Japan, where Japanese composers, arrangers, lyricists and performers, inspired in part by U.S. records, developed and recorded their own versions. In this paper I examine and compare a selection of the American and Japanese recordings of this song with the aim of tracing lines ─ 155 ─ 愛知県立大学外国語学部紀要第43号(言語・文学編) of influence, focusing on the aural evidence of the recordings themselves in relation to their recording and release dates. The analysis will show how American recordings of the song, which resulted from complex interactions of African American and European American artists and musical styles, established certain loose conventions of performance practices that were conveyed to Japan and to Japanese artists. It will then show how these Japanese artists made flexible use of American precedents, while also drawing influences from other Japanese recordings and adding their own individual creative ideas.
