What has been tried and where can we go from here? For the second part of “Guam’s continuing quest for self-determination,” the operative word is “continuing.” Here, I present the continuing moves and counter moves by a range of proponents of self-determination and describe their efforts to advance to decolonization after the 1995 Congressional stall. The fire that once drove the proponents of self-determination has died down in recent years. This is due to a combination of internal and external factors, including but not limited to: government bureaucracy; U.S. Congressional lack of will; differing federal government priorities; threat of unconstitutionality of a CHamoru only vote; filing of court cases and untimely rulings; lack of funding for public education campaign on status options; procedural use and application of international or domestic laws; and disagreement on whether to seek decolonization through the United Nations or change Guam’s political status through U.S. Congress. Years of inactivity has plagued the progression of the Commission on Decolonization because of these factors, but a lack of funding to pursue its purpose – to facilitate education and set the date for the plebiscite – has arguably been the prime culprit.

The Democratic Party of Guam seeks to address complaints made by Guam voters who contend that they were disenfranchised during the voting process in violation of Guam law. I also urge a review of whether any federal voting rights laws were systematically violated during the electoral process on Guam. On April 12,2012, the Dernocratic Party of Guam formally requested that I work with the relevant federal officials to address the allegations of ballot tally inconsistencies and to address other specific concerns that are outlined in Cuam Democratic Party Resolution No. 03-20l2.The resolution states that registered voters were improperly purged from the election registry. Further, the Party raises concems that the security of the ballots may have been compromised.

  • GERSHWIN by GROFÉ Symphonic Jazz Original Orchestrations & Grofé/Whiteman Orchestra Arrangements
    NB: Since the cd booklet program notes are abridged, we have provided the complete notes with more detailed information below: GERSHWIN by GROFÉ Symphonic Jazz Original Orchestrations & Grofé/Whiteman Orchestra Arrangements STEVEN RICHMAN, conductor Lincoln Mayorga, piano Al Gallodoro, alto sax, clarinet, bass clarinet Harmonie Ensemble/New York Harmonia Mundi CD 907492 Program Notes During the 1920s, there existed a symbiotic relationship between George Gershwin, Paul Whiteman, and Ferde Grofé that was both fascinating and fruitful. This remarkable trio had had some association during the 1922 edition of the George White Scandals, for which Gershwin composed the score, with lyrics by Buddy DeSylva and, in the case of the hit song, “I’ll Build a Stairway to Paradise,” George’s brother Ira as well (as Arthur Francis). But their only other collaboration, and the one upon which a significant chapter of American music turned, occurred during the creation of the Rhapsody in Blue for the historic concert at Aeolian Hall in New York City on February 12, 1924, which Whiteman called “An Experiment in Modern American Music.” Each of the three made a significant contribution to the birthing of this landmark piece which epitomized, and indeed was the arguably the finest example of, the genre of music known as “symphonic jazz.” For nearly ten years, Whiteman, who had been classically trained, and formerly a violinist in the San Francisco Symphony, had contemplated the amalgamation of classical music and jazz. Beginning with the organization of his hotel bands in California in 1918, he began to experiment with this concept, which he termed “symphonic jazz.” By the fall of 1920 he had come east, and the nine-piece band that he had assembled quickly took New York by storm.

  • A Musical Analysis of Three Saxophone Solos of the “Light Music” Era
    The Undocumented: A Musical Analysis of Three Saxophone Solos of the “Light Music” Era by Daniel Scott Puccio A Research Paper Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Musical Arts Approved April 2012 by the Graduate Supervisory Committee: Timothy McAllister, Chair Sabine Feisst Michael Kocour J. Samuel Plafian Robert Spring ARIZONA STATE UNIVERSITY May 2012 ABSTRACT The solo repertoire from the Light Music Era serves as an important link between the Classical and Jazz soloist traditions. These characteristics are best highlighted through an analysis of three solo transcriptions: Felix Arndt’s Nola as performed by Al Gallodoro, Rudy Wiedoeft’s Valse Vanité, as performed by Freddy Gardener, and Jimmy Dorsey’s Oodles of Noodles, as performed by Al Gallodoro. The transcriptions, done by the author, are taken from primary source recordings, and the ensuing analysis serves to show the saxophone soloists of Light Music Era as an amalgamation of classical and jazz saxophone. Many of the works performed during the Light Music Era are extant only in recorded form. Even so, these performances possess great historical significance within the context of the state of the saxophone as an important solo instrument in the wider musical landscape. The saxophone solos from the Light Music Era distinguish themselves through the use of formal development and embellishment of standard “song forms” (such as ABA, and AABA), and the use of improvisational techniques that are common to early Jazz; however, the analysis shows that the improvisational techniques were distinctly different than a Jazz solo improvisation in nature. Although it has many characteristics in common with both “Classical Music” (this is used as a generic term to refer to the music of the Western European common practice period that is not Pop music or Jazz) and Jazz, the original research shows that the saxophone solo music from the Light Music Era is a distinctly original genre due to the amalgamation of seemingly disparate elements.
