  • Scott Joplin's Treemonisha”--Gunter Schuller, Arr
    “Scott Joplin's Treemonisha”--Gunter Schuller, arr. (1976) Added to the National Registry: 2016 Essay by Scotty Gray (guest post)* Original 1976 album cover The richness of American culture has been fascinatingly preserved by the National Recording Registry at the Library of Congress by including in its 2016 listing the Deutsche Grammophon recording of the Houston Grand Opera’s 1975 performance of the African American rag time composer Scott Joplin’s opera “Treemonisha.” The opera, completed in 1910, is itself a commentary on a period of civil unrest in American history and an examination of a distinctive aspect of American culture. Joplin addressed the challenging conflicts in African American culture of the time through the story of Treemonisha, who, in the story, has been adopted by Ned and Monisha, former slaves. The old superstitions of the earlier culture are presented in the play by the “conjure men” who kidnap Treemonisha, but she is finally rescued, returned to her family, and becomes an example of a newer culture emphasizing the importance of education for women as well as men. Joplin had studied with a music teacher from Germany who exposed him to some of the literature and techniques of more classical styles and in “Treemonisha,” he clothed aspects of European opera in the distinctive garbs of ragtime. There are melodious arias, ensembles, choruses, and ballet sequences. He completed the text and music of “Treemonisha” in 1910 and it was published in a piano-vocal score in 1911. The Houston Grand Opera’s full-scale production, directed by Frank Corsaro and produced by Thomas Mowrey, was a new version orchestrated and conducted by Gunther Schuller, a classical and jazz scholar and 1994 Pulitzer Prize recipient for a distinguished musical composition by an American.

Though having studied at the New England Conservatory, he was a musical maverick, and incurred the wrath and disdain of the academic avant-garde, the serialists, the Neo-Classicists and the Americanists. Upon hearing a recording of Hovhaness’s First Symphony, Leonard Bernstein was said to have remarked “I can’t stand this cheap ghetto music.” David Ewen, writer of a shelf full of books on Twentieth Century and American Music does not even deign to mention him in his many works.
