  • Mancini Sample.Indd
    Prologue n a trip to Pennsylvania in 1988 to conduct the Pittsburgh OSymphony Orchestra, Henry Mancini felt an unmistak- able tug luring him back to West Aliquippa, the town where he’d grown up. It had been decades since Henry had been back to see what had become of the place where his life and musical journey began. The musician friends traveling with him from Los Angeles were happy to accompany their beloved bandleader on the impromptu roots trip. Henry shared some of his personal history with his com- panions on the drive. He told them how West Aliquippa was once a thriving steel town where the Jones and Laughlin Steel Company employed the majority of the town’s residents, includ- ing his father. It was not unlike other Rust Belt towns of that era, filled with hard-working immigrant families. As they pulled into what was left of the town, it was clear that Henry had not prepared himself for the level of economic devastation that had befallen West Aliquippa, which seemed to have been reduced to dust and broken glass. There were no people on the street—just a feral cat that darted out in front of their car. They drove around until Henry was able to trace his steps back to Beaver Avenue, which took longer than it should have because things were not all where they used to be. As they turned a corner, he felt a bit disoriented as he searched for numbers on the houses. Then he finally found it: 401, his childhood home.

  • Braids of Song Gwead Y Gân
    Braids of Song Gwead y Gân by Mari Morgan BMus (Hons), MA. Supervised by: Professor Menna Elfyn and Dr Jeni Williams Submitted in partial fulfilment for the award of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Creative Writing University of Wales Trinity Saint David 2019 Er cof am fy nhad, Y Parchedig E D Morgan a ddiogelodd drysor. In memory of my father, the Reverend E D Morgan who preserved a treasure. iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS With grateful thanks for the generous support of: North America Wales Foundation (Dr Philip Davies and Hefina Phillips) Welsh Women’s Clubs of America (Barbara Crysler) Welsh Society of Philadelphia (Jack R. Williams, Jr.) Diolch o galon: for the experience and guidance of my supervisors, Professor Menna Elfyn and Dr Jeni Williams, for the friendship and encouragement of Karen Rice, for my siblings always, Nest ac Arwel, for the love and steadfast support of Lisa E Hopkins, and for the unconditional love of my mother, Thelma Morgan. Diolch am fod yn gefn. iv Abstract The desire to recognise the richness, humanity, and cross fertilisation of cultures and identities that built today’s America is the starting point for Braids of Song. Its overarching concerns trace the interrelation between immigration, identity and creativity within a Welsh Trans-Atlantic context. Braids of Song is a mixed-genre collection of stories that acknowledges the preciousness of culture; in particular, the music, which is both able to cross different linguistic boundaries and to breach those between melody and language itself. The stories are shared through four intertwined narrative strands in a mixture of literary styles, ranging from creative non-fiction essays and poems to dramatic monologues.

After the war he became the pianist and arranger for the Glenn Miller Band, led by Tex Beneke.He also studied serious composing with Ernst Krenek and Mario Castelnuovo‐Tedesco. It was this, as well as his passion for jazz and swing music , that saw him join Universal Studios music dept as a house composer writing for such hits as Creature from the Black Lagoon , It came from Outer Space , Tarantula, followed by The Glenn Miller Story, The Benny Goodman Story , and Orson Welles Touch of Evil. He left Universal Studios in 1958 , working as an independent writer. He soon established a working relationship with Producer Blake Edwards { see Peter Sellers movie with Goeffrey Rush for character insights} . This produced nearly 30 films, the first being a tv series titled Peter Gunn. Other movies include Breakfast at Tiffanys, Days of wine and Roses, Pink Panther et al, The Party. Also Hatari, Victor/Victoria. Interestingly, Alfred Hitchcock rejected and replaced his work on the 1972 film Frenzy.
