As Pat paraphrased from one of his favorite Will Rogers quotes, "The most dangerous thing about flying or earning a living flying is starving to death. Aviation as a career is very difficult because it is expen­ sive co learn. Young pilots have a very diffi­ cult rime. Perseverance ... is the key to suc­ ceeding." Not only do small airporcs provide prac­ tice grounds for studying pilots, Pat went on co explain, they also provide a place for other vital businesses necessary to our way of life. For instance, tl1e Ann Arbor Airport has Med-Flight for the University of Michigan. There is also a scrip where organ transplants fly in and out. These services alone attribute an extra $104 million value co the Ann Arbor Airport. After several months of precise and delib­ erate planning, Pat and Juanita devised their route including the upper peninsula and the lower peninsula. The lower penin­ sula was broken into quadrants for easier charting. The trip consisted of2,695 miles using 120 knots. Ten seconds was allotted for each couch and go landing and seven 15-minute intervals for refueling approxi­ mately every tluee and one-half hours.

  • Chazzonos, As Presented Here for My Thesis, Represents Three Chapters
    AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF Lyle RockIer for the degree of Master of Arts in Englishpresented on May & 1997. Title: Chazzonos. Redacted for Privacy Abstract approved: I Tracyba Chazzonos, as presented here formy thesis, represents three chapters of what will be a novel of thesame name. Chazzonos is about Hal Perimutter, a cantor, who at the outset of the novel, isresigning his position of twenty years. The novelprogresses as Hal decides where he will go after Mirthgate Temple and what will be meaningfulto him. Hal's decision is complicated by the opposing forces thatrun through him: the conservative side that is attracted to ritual, tradition, and, especially, themusic of the ancient and respectable art of the cantor; and the liberal,neo-60s, almost anarchic nature of his personal life. In these three chapters, the dilemmas of Hal's lifeare introduced. He deals with the implications ofan inheritance that has allowed him to resign; he struggles with the mystery ofa relationship that is developing between his homosexual son anda new lover; and he is challenged by his long-time girlfriend to make the ultimate commitment of marriage.Throughout the narrative, Hal is affected by his attachment to the musicof chazzonos (the cantorial art) and by memories of family and tradition,nostalgic as well as painful. The questions these three chapters introduceand thatwill develop as the entire novel progressesare those of love, tradition, obligation, and how one struggles with opposing forces in one'snature. CHAZZONOS Lyle Rockier A THESIS submitted to Oregon State University in partial fulfifiment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts Presented May 8, 1997 Commencement June 1997 Master of Arts thesis of Lyle Rockier presentedon May 8.

  • Leonard Bernstein's Boston
    Before West Side Story: Leonard Bernstein’s Boston (Music 194) Professors: Carol J. Oja and Kay Kaufman Shelemay Teaching Fellow: Emily Abrams Requirements Emails: [email protected], [email protected], [email protected] Office hours: Professor Oja and Professor Shelemay: 3-4pm on Wednesdays. Emily Abrams: 10-11am on Wednesdays. Course description: This seminar will explore the childhood and early career of one of the 20th century's most renowned musicians and composers. Working in teams, students will fuse ethnography and archival research to explore the interlinking communities and institutions that shaped Bernstein's formative years. These include, but are by no means limited to, Congregation Mishkan Tefila in Newton, Boston Latin High School, Harvard (class of '39), and the BSO. Together, we will be launching a major collaborative research project. As a result, the expectations and work flow will differ greatly from the usual seminar. Instead of focusing on exams or individual research papers, “Leonard Bernstein’s Boston” involves lots of strategizing and working in groups. In other words, it requires a consistent time commitment and regular maintenance over the course of the semester, and it can only be successful if everyone pitches in at a steady pace. Regular attendance is essential. We will be functioning as a team, which means that it is crucial for everyone to be cooperative and collegial. All students will work on two levels: (1) preparation of and participation in class interviews and discussions, and (2) out-of-class research projects, pursued individually or in teams. There will be no midterm, final exam or traditional research paper.

Leonard Bernstein found his “voice” in the early 1940s and projected the sound of urban and urbane America from the period of World War II to the anti-war movements of the 1970s and the restoration of freedom in Europe, with the fall of the Berlin Wall and Soviet communism. Writing for small ensembles, symphony orchestras, Broadway, film and opera houses, Leonard Bernstein projected a simple message of understanding and hope employing both complex and simple forms and styles — yet always sounding like “Bernstein,” a voice perhaps best known in his score to West Side Story.

With popular hits of its time becoming less familiar, and newer favorites missing, a new compilation was in order. Our songbook nonetheless provided an excellent foundation upon which to build. We would be remiss not to credit Matt Cohen, Polly Hall, and Dan Yolles for their work, which remains the single largest contribution to the current edition. Deepest thanks to those that contributed their time and feedback to this collection. Brynn Tully, Amy Stein Miller, Amalia Ritter, Dan Yolles, and Debra Winter put thought and spirit into the production of this book, including meticulous chord notation. It must be said that this songbook is “Tam v’lo nishlam,” finished, but not yet complete. Brynn and Carly will be tasked with implementing this collection over the course of Summer 2018 with the goal of producing a final edition after integrating feedback from our Ranch Camp Kehila.

Laird Date approved: 11 May 2015 iii Abstract Leonard Bernstein’s relationship to his Jewish identity—his determination to nourish and sustain it—was one of the single most important aspects not only of his musical career, but also of his greater character. Throughout his life, his deep concern for his own Jewishness manifested as a persistent commitment to certain organizations. One of the most prominent of these was the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra, originally known as the Palestine Symphony Orchestra. This dissertation is a contribution to our knowledge of Bernstein’s work in Israel and explains the significance of his relationship to the Israel Philharmonic between the years of 1947 to 1967, chronologically exploring milestones that saw the benefit and evolution of both parties. Bernstein stood by the orchestra during Israel’s pre-statehood battles, the War of Independence, and the resultant conflicts with the United Nations; he attracted prominent musical associates to the cause, such as his mentor, Serge Koussevitzky.
