  • America's Changing Mirror: How Popular Music Reflects Public
    AMERICA’S CHANGING MIRROR: HOW POPULAR MUSIC REFLECTS PUBLIC OPINION DURING WARTIME by Christina Tomlinson Campbell University Faculty Mentor Jaclyn Stanke Campbell University Entertainment is always a national asset. Invaluable in times of peace, it is indispensable in wartime. All those who are working in the entertainment industry are building and maintaining national morale both on the battlefront and on the home front. 1 Franklin D. Roosevelt, June 12, 1943 Whether or not we admit it, societies change in wartime. It is safe to say that after every war in America’s history, society undergoes large changes or embraces new mores, depending on the extent to which war has affected the nation. Some of the “smaller wars” in our history, like the Mexican-American War or the Spanish-American War, have left little traces of change that scarcely venture beyond some territorial adjustments and honorable mentions in our textbooks. Other wars have had profound effects in their aftermath or began as a result of a 1 Telegram to the National Conference of the Entertainment Industry for War Activities, quoted in John Bush Jones, The Songs that Fought the War: Popular Music and the Home Front, 1939-1945 (Lebanon, NH: University Press of New England, 2006), 31. catastrophic event: World War I, World War II, Vietnam, and the current wars in the Middle East. These major conflicts create changes in society that are experienced in the long term, whether expressed in new legislation, changed social customs, or new ways of thinking about government. While some of these large social shifts may be easy to spot, such as the GI Bill or the baby boom phenomenon in the 1940s and 1950s, it is also interesting to consider the changed ways of thinking in modern societies as a result of war and the degree to which information is filtered.

  • Asolo Rep Completes Its 2014-15 Season Lineup with Two New Musical Productions
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: September 3, 2014 Asolo Rep Completes its 2014-15 Season Lineup with Two New Musical Productions: Luck Be a Lady: The Iconic Music of Frank Loesser and Woody Sez: The Life and Music of Woody Guthrie "Loesser hit the jackpot more than once in a career that extended from the Great Depression to the year Neil Armstrong walked on the moon. ... With Loesser you always got both – the 'wisdom and truth' and the tangy cool martini wit. Long may his songs be sung."– David Lehman for The New York Times "Woody Sez: The Life and Music of Woody Guthrie is a theatrical patchwork quilt – scraps of biography and social history sewn together with bits of music and drama by four remarkably multi-talented performers. And like the finest of cloth quilts, this one transcends its homespun materials to become a work of art." – The New York Times (SARASOTA, September 3, 2014) — Asolo Repertory Theatre completes its highly anticipated 2014-15 season lineup with two new productions: Luck Be a Lady: The Iconic Music of Frank Loesser and Woody Sez: The Life and Music of Woody Guthrie. The world premiere of Luck Be a Lady: The Iconic Music of Frank Loesser replaces the theatre's previously announced production of It Only Takes A Moment, which was postponed to a future season. This brand new musical revue celebrates the life and music of Frank Loesser, the legendary composer and lyricist of the Tony Award®-winning Broadway classic Guys and Dolls, the Tony and Pulitzer-Prize winning hit How to Succeed in Business Without Really -more- New Productions Page 2 of 5 Trying, The Most Happy Fella, and more.

    Civil War Study Guide.qxd 9/13/01 10:31 AM Page 3 MUSIC THEATRE INTERNATIONAL MUSIC THEATRE INTERNATIONAL is one of the world’s major dramatic licensing agencies, specializing in Broadway, Off-Broadway and West End musicals. Since its founding in 1952, MTI has been responsible for supplying scripts and musical materials to theatres worldwide and for protecting the rights and legacy of the authors whom it represents. It has been a driving force in cultivating new work and in extending the production life of some of the classics: Guys and Dolls, West Side Story, Fiddler On The Roof, Les Misérables, Annie, Of Thee I Sing, Ain’t Misbehavin’, Damn Yankees, The Music Man, Evita, and the complete musical theatre works of composer/lyricist Stephen Sondheim, among others. Apart from the major Broadway and Off- Broadway shows, MTI is proud to represent youth shows, revues and musicals which began life in regional theatres and have since become worthy additions to the musical theatre canon. MTI shows have been performed by 30,000 amateur and professional theatrical organizations throughout the U.S. and Canada, and in over 60 countries around the world. Whether it’s at a high school in Kansas, by an all-female troupe in Japan or the first production of West Side Story ever staged in Estonia, productions of MTI musicals involve over 10 million people each year. Although we value all our clients, the twelve thousand high schools who perform our shows are of particular importance, for it is at these schools that music and drama educators work to keep theatre alive in their community.

  • The Affective Role of Melodic Ascent and Other Linear Devices in Selected Song Verses of Irving Berlin
    Dynamic Introductions: The Affective Role of Melodic Ascent and Other Linear Devices in Selected Song Verses of Irving Berlin David Carson Berry Irving Berlin (1888-1989) played a leading role in the development of popular song in the U.S., and enjoyed a recognition and success that was perhaps unparalleled. He made his songwriting debut (as a lyricist) in 1907 and actively composed for at least six decades thereafter, contributing to the world approximately 900 copyrighted songs1 and becoming one of the few artists of his time to write both melody and lyric.2 Despite his influence and talents, however, his music has seldom been treated to analytic or theoretic attention; Charles Hamm has engaged in extensive historiographic work on Berlin and his oeuvre,3 but Allen Forte is one of the few who has analyzed the songs in explicitly musical terms.4 The dearth of analysis is !A song listing is provided in Steven Suskin, Berlin, Kern, Rogers, Hart, and Hammerstein: A Complete Song Catalogue (Jefferson, NC: McFarland & Co., 1990). Although some (especially early) songs may have been lost, the actual number of Berlin's copyrighted songs - which surely includes most of what he ever wrote, even birthday songs for his grandchildren - contradicts frequently encountered exaggerations which place his output as high as 2000-3000 songs. Such elevated numbers may be partly attributable to the show-business boasts of Berlin himself, who once claimed to have composed as many as five songs a day (see Laurence Bergreen, As Thousands Cheer: The Life of Irving Berlin [New York: Penguin Books, 1990], 58).
