Highlights from recent concert seasons include a European tour with the legendary Ennio Morricone, and a Prague concert with Anna Netrebko. Meanwhile in the studio the orchestra worked on recording Plácido Domingo and Vittorio Grigolo’s new Christmas album, also collaborating with Ennio Morricone on his score for the new western film The Hateful Eight directed by Quentin Tarantino. Ennio Morricone then went on to win an Oscar after 500 movie credits! The soundtrack was recorded live and launched by Tarantino, Morricone, and the CNSO at Abbey Road Studios in December 2015. Following on from the collaboration with Columbia Artists Management Inc., the orchestra toured the USA in February and March 2016. In 2017, the orchestra toured extensively with Ennio Morricone and James Newton Howard. The CNSO has also renewed its longstanding cooperation with Andrea Bocelli, plus accompanied Rolando Villazon and Jonas Kaufmann.

Other accolades include the Gustav Mahler Prize, awarded for the interpretation of Mahler’s works, and the prestigious contract the orchestra signed with IMG Artists London and Columbia Artists New York. Achievements also include a long-standing recording project in association with Tokyo-based media company Victor Entertainment. The Czech National Symphony Orchestra was set up in 1993 by trumpet player Jan Hasenöhrl along with the legendary conductor Zdeněk Košler. In 1996, the American Paul Freeman took over as Chief Conductor, and remained in this position for an amazing ten years. At the beginning of the year 2007, Maestro Libor Pešek was named the Chief Conductor and he continues to hold down the post today. BEN PALMER Ben Palmer is Chief Conductor of the Deutsche Philharmonie Merck, and Founder and Artistic Director of Covent Garden Sinfonia. In 2018/19 he will debut with the BBC Symphony Orchestra, the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, the Hallé Orchestra, the Royal Scottish National Orchestra, the St Petersburg Symphony Orchestra, the Sinfonietta de Lausanne, Cinematic Sinfonia, City Light Chamber Orchestra (Lucerne), the Württembergische Philharmonie Reutlingen, and the Pilsen Philharmonic, as well as returning to the London Mozart Players, the BBC Singers, the Orchestra of Opera North and Grimethorpe Colliery Band, and touring extensively with the Czech National Symphony Orchestra. Recent guest conducting engagements include the Royal Northern Sinfonia, the Orchestra of Welsh National Opera, the Deutsches Filmorchester Babelsberg, the Royal Philharmonic Concert Orchestra, the Deutsches Kammerorchester Berlin, and Southbank Sinfonia. In 2020 he will debut with the Heidelberger Sinfoniker, and return to the Deutsches Filmorchester Babelsberg and the Pilsen Philharmonic. Under his leadership since 2007, Covent Garden Sinfonia is firmly established as one of London’s most dynamic and versatile professional orchestras. He took up the position of Chief Conductor of the Deutsche Philharmonie Merck in September 2017, opening his tenure with a performance of Mahler’s Fourth Symphony with soprano Carolyn Sampson. His second season includes the original version of Bruckner’s Third Symphony at Kloster Eberbach, and Mahler’s Seventh at the Kurhaus in Wiesbaden. Ben Palmer is one of Europe’s foremost specialists in conducting live to film, leading more than 40 film-with-orchestra performances each year. In 2018/19 he will conduct Jurassic Park (the 25th anniversary UK tour), Star Wars, Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial, Jaws, Raiders of the Lost Ark, Home Alone, Casino Royale, Back to the Future, The Pink Panther (European premiere) and Brassed Off, in venues such as the Royal Albert Hall, the KKL Luzern, Manchester’s Bridgewater Hall, and Symphony Hall Birmingham. He has a repertoire of more than 20 films, including Psycho, Casablanca, Under the Skin, Metropolis, and Charlie Chaplin’s The Gold Rush. He conducted the first performances of 2017 silent film London Symphony, of Neil Brand’s scores for The Lodger and Oliver Twist, and in 2018 led the German premiere of Casino Royale. In 2017 he was invited by the Philharmonia Orchestra to assist Vladimir Ashkenazy with a screening of Battleship Potemkin. As well as conducting his own concerts with the Royal College of Music Philharmonic and period-instrument Classical Orchestras, he has been invited to prepare the RCM Symphony Orchestra for Bernard Haitink and Sir Roger Norrington. He worked closely with Norrington between 2011-16, acting as his assistant conductor for concerts, recordings, and at the BBC Proms. In addition to his work as a conductor, Ben Palmer is sought after as a composer, arranger and orchestrator. His recordings include a critically-acclaimed disc of choral/orchestral music by Antonio Lotti with The Syred Consort (selected as BBC Radio 3 Record Review’s ‘Disc of the Week’, and chosen as one of Presto Classical’s Top Ten CDs of 2016), a recording of his own work, Bach Dreams, with the Deutsches Kammerorchester Berlin, and a live CD of film music with the Deutsche Philharmonie Merck, due for release in late 2018. A trumpeter and composer by training, he studied music at the University of Birmingham, graduating with first class honours in 2003. He stayed on at Birmingham to complete an MPhil in composition, before moving to London in 2005 to study composition at the Royal Academy of Music. He was made an Associate of the Royal Academy (ARAM) in 2017, and is almost three quarters of the way through his lifetime ambition to conduct all 107 Haydn symphonies. THE USHER HALL The Usher Hall is Scotland's only five-star concert hall hosting a range of concerts from rock, pop, classical, jazz, world and folk music. The venue has hosted concerts and events since it opened way back in 1914! A beautiful Edwardian building with a modern twist, which is well loved by performers and audiences all over the world due to its magnificent acoustics. It is said that Andrew Usher sparked the idea of a ‘concert hall for Edinburgh’ whilst chatting away over the counter of his jewellers in Rose Street. His ‘desire and intention’ was that this Hall ‘should become and remain a centre and attraction to musical artistes and performers and to the citizens of Edinburgh and others who may desire to hear good music...’ On 23 June 1896 it was formally announced that Andrew Usher had gifted £100,000 to The City of Edinburgh.

  • Silent Film Music and the Theatre Organ Thomas J. Mathiesen
    Silent Film Music and the Theatre Organ Thomas J. Mathiesen Introduction Until the 1980s, the community of musical scholars in general regarded film music-and especially music for the silent films-as insignificant and uninteresting. Film music, it seemed, was utili­ tarian, commercial, trite, and manipulative. Moreover, because it was film music rather than film music, it could not claim the musical integrity required of artworks worthy of study. If film music in general was denigrated, the theatre organ was regarded in serious musical circles as a particular aberration, not only because of the type of music it was intended to play but also because it represented the exact opposite of the characteristics espoused by the Orgelbewegung of the twentieth century. To make matters worse, many of the grand old motion picture theatres were torn down in the fifties and sixties, their music libraries and theatre organs sold off piecemeal or destroyed. With a few obvious exceptions (such as the installation at Radio City Music Hall in New (c) 1991 Indiana Theory Review 82 Indiana Theory Review Vol. 11 York Cityl), it became increasingly difficult to hear a theatre organ in anything like its original acoustic setting. The theatre organ might have disappeared altogether under the depredations of time and changing taste had it not been for groups of amateurs that restored and maintained some of the instruments in theatres or purchased and installed them in other locations. The American Association of Theatre Organ Enthusiasts (now American Theatre Organ Society [ATOS]) was established on 8 February 1955,2 and by 1962, there were thirteen chapters spread across the country.

  • Vincent Derosa
    Vince Biography DeRosa Biography "It's true that I played in thousands of movies, but that was what we did in those days. It would be impossible today, with the current traffic situation, to play as many sessions in a day - often three and sometimes four - as we did then, when we could get anywhere is Los Angeles in half an hour. One day I got a call. I said I could come by on my lunch hour. The studio was near where I played a morning session, so I walked over at noon. On a stand was music with just two notes. They wanted me to play them strongly, so I did, then asked what else they wanted. That was it! And the recording with those two notes became a great hit!" "I learned the Mozart and Strauss, but the studio business required something different. The music was always new, never seen before; you played it and they recorded it. You never knew what you were going to get. Fortunately, I didn't have problems with that, so I became a well-known player in commercial work. Alfred Brain said, never practice on the stage, and that's what the business was like." Vince DeRosa was born in 1920 into a musical family in Kansas City. His father played clarinet and his mother was a singer. The family moved to Chicago, where Vince started horn with P. Delecce, and then later the family moved to Los Angeles. Vince studied briefly with his uncle Vincent DeRubertis (who was on staff as a horn player at Paramount Studios), and the legendary Alfred Brain (uncle of Dennis Brain, and Principal Horn at 20th Century Fox Studios), and started his professional career at the age of seventeen in the horn section at 20th Century Fox.

Fortunately, the past decade has witnessed a steady build of interest in film music scholarship thanks, in part, to annual Fconferences of Music and the Moving Image (MAMI), regular meetings of the International Musicological Society’s Music and Media Study Group (MAM), and scholarly journals such as Sound and the Moving Image, Music and the Moving Image, and the Journal of Film Music. Film music is a “neglected art” no more.1 Many music departments in colleges and universities across North America can boast at least one undergraduate film music course—a change of tides that has led to the publication of invaluable academic texts such as Roger Hickman’s Reel Music: Exploring 100 Years of Film Music (2005); Hearing the Movies (2015) by James Buhler, David Neumeyer, and Rob Deemer; and Mervyn Cooke’s A History of Film Music.2 1.

  • American Heritage Center
    UNIVERSITY OF WYOMING AMERICAN HERITAGE CENTER GUIDE TO ENTERTAINMENT INDUSTRY RESOURCES Child actress Mary Jane Irving with Bessie Barriscale and Ben Alexander in the 1918 silent film Heart of Rachel. Mary Jane Irving papers, American Heritage Center. Compiled by D. Claudia Thompson and Shaun A. Hayes 2009 PREFACE When the University of Wyoming began collecting the papers of national entertainment figures in the 1970s, it was one of only a handful of repositories actively engaged in the field. Business and industry, science, family history, even print literature were all recognized as legitimate fields of study while prejudice remained against mere entertainment as a source of scholarship. There are two arguments to be made against this narrow vision. In the first place, entertainment is very much an industry. It employs thousands. It requires vast capital expenditure, and it lives or dies on profit. In the second place, popular culture is more universal than any other field. Each individual’s experience is unique, but one common thread running throughout humanity is the desire to be taken out of ourselves, to share with our neighbors some story of humor or adventure. This is the basis for entertainment. The Entertainment Industry collections at the American Heritage Center focus on the twentieth century. During the twentieth century, entertainment in the United States changed radically due to advances in communications technology. The development of radio made it possible for the first time for people on both coasts to listen to a performance simultaneously. The delivery of entertainment thus became immensely cheaper and, at the same time, the fame of individual performers grew.
