    00:00:00 Oliver Wang Host Hi everyone. Before we get started today, just wanted to let you know that for the next month’s worth of episodes, we have a special guest co-host sitting in for Morgan Rhodes, who is busy with some incredible music supervision projects. Both Morgan and I couldn’t be more pleased to have arts and culture writer and critic, Ernest Hardy, sitting in for Morgan. And if you recall, Ernest joined us back in 2017 for a wonderful conversation about Sade’s Love Deluxe; which you can find in your feed, in case you want to refamiliarize yourself with Ernest’s brilliance or you just want to listen to a great episode. 00:00:35 Music Music “Crown Ones” off the album Stepfather by People Under The Stairs 00:00:41 Oliver Host Hello, I’m Oliver Wang. 00:00:43 Ernest Host And I’m Ernest Hardy, sitting in for Morgan Rhodes. You’re listening Hardy to Heat Rocks. 00:00:47 Oliver Host Every episode we invite a guest to join us to talk about a heat rock. You know, an album that’s hot, hot, hot. And today, we will be taking a trip to Rydell High School to revisit the iconic soundtrack to the 1978 smash movie-musical, Grease. 00:01:02 Music Music “You’re The One That I Want” off the album Grease: The Original Soundtrack. Chill 1950s rock with a steady beat, guitar, and occasional piano. DANNY ZUKO: I got chills, they're multiplying And I'm losing control 'Cause the power you're supplying It's electrifying! [Music fades out as Oliver speaks] 00:01:20 Oliver Host I was in first grade the year that Grease came out in theaters, and I think one of the only memories I have about the entirety of first grade was when our teacher decided to put on the Grease soundtrack onto the class phonograph and play us “Grease Lightnin’”.

  • Halina Goldberg
    Halina Goldberg The Topos of Memory in the Albums of Maria Szymanowska and Helena Szymanowska-Malewska The custom of maintaining friendship albums, blank books in- tended to be filled with keepsakes inscribed by friends and ac- quaintances, persisted in Europe for some four centuries, though its social contexts and the resulting artifacts underwent many transformations. Mementos left in a friendship album (also known as keepsake album, album amicorum or Stammbuch) could take on various forms – poems, drawings, paper cuttings, musical compo- sitions – depending on the interests of the recipient and the talents of the inscriber. In this essay, I examine one aspect of the album tradition: its emphasis on memory. Using the albums of Maria Szymanowska and her daughter, Helena Szymanowska-Malewska, I discuss three ways the topos of memory takes shape in album inscriptions. First, I explore what musical mementos can tell us about ways in which memory intersected with the nineteenth-century cult of relics. Then I contextualize the role musical album inscriptions had in constructing and maintaining the memory of the Polish nation. Fi- nally, I demonstrate how specific compositional features of musical gifts were designed to invoke psychological processes characteristic of a remembered experience. Mementos and Relics “Where are the hours that oh! so swiftly vanished?” exclaimed Johann Wolfgang Goethe in the much-celebrated poem known today under the title “Aussöhnung”, but originally composed for Maria Szymanowska’s album.1 Goethe’s poem, while extolling music’s power to bring back the past, reminds the reader that even as the present, through music, catches a glimpse of the past, it is 1 “Wo sind die Stunden, überschnell verflüchtigt?” From Johann Wolfgang Goethe inscription in the album of Maria Szymanowska.

  • Ch2, Morcom, Unity and Discord, 2004
    31 Chapter Two Cultural policy, modernization and change in Tibetan music from 1951 until the 1980s Guided by the principle in literature and art of “letting a hundred flowers blossom and weeding the old to bring forth the new”, writers and artists have studied and rearranged the traditional features of Tibetan opera. They have improved costumes, stage props, settings and make-up by assimilating elements of the classical operas of the Han culture. – Tales from Tibetan opera: 12-13, by Chinese scholar Wang Yao, 1986. The first period of ‘liberation’: 1951-1965 Policy towards the arts in Tibet was initially based closely on Mao’s statements at the Talks at the Yan’an Conference on Literature and Art in Yan’an in 1942, and from the early 1950s, changes were implemented that aimed at ‘reforming’ certain traditions of Tibetan performing arts and ‘developing’ them according to the paternalistic and ethnocentric notions described in the previous chapter. This resulted in increasing Chinese influence on certain Tibetan genres during this period. Government initiatives were also aimed at preserving traditions of Tibetan music, but these were either more ‘development’ based, implementing change rather than preserving, or focused on the documentation of song texts, which had no significant effect on living musical traditions. New genres were also introduced to Tibet during this period: revolutionary ‘folksongs’ and spoken drama (as opposed to traditional sung drama or Tibetan opera, Ache Lhamo). The revolutionary ‘folksongs’ were purely propaganda, and the spoken drama also followed the Party line closely. Overall, the policies of the period prior to the Cultural Revolution only affected small pockets of Tibetan musical culture in cities and left the countryside, where the vast majority of Tibetans lived, virtually untouched.
