One of the Public people responsible for this was 29-year-old Dr. Fannie Dunn Quain. She was Activities North Dakota’s first homegrown female doctor.

  • The Eclectic Careers of Eva and Juliette Gauthier Anita Slominska
    Interpreting success and failure: The eclectic careers of Eva and Juliette Gauthier Anita Slominska Art History and Communication Studies McGill University, Montreal April 2009 A thesis submitted to McGill University in partial fulfillment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy ©2009 Anita Slominska Abstract My dissertation explores the eclectic singing careers of sisters Eva and Juliette Gauthier. Born in Ottawa, Eva and Juliettte were aided in their musical aspirations by the patronage of Prime Minister Wilfred Laurier and his wife Lady Zoë. They both received classical vocal training in Europe. Eva spent four years in Java. She studied the local music, which later became incorporated into her concert repertoire in North America. She went on to become a leading interpreter of modern art song. Juliette became a performer of Canadian folk music in Canada, the United States and Europe, aiming to reproduce folk music “realistically” in a concert setting. My dissertation is the result of examining archival materials pertaining to their careers, combined with research into the various social and cultural worlds they traversed. Eva and Juliette’s careers are revealing of a period of transition in the arts and in social experience more generally. These transitions are related to the exploitation of non-Western people, uses of the “folk,” and the emergence of a cultural marketplace that was defined by a mixture of highbrow institutions and mass culture industries. My methodology draws from the sociology of art and cultural history, transposing Eva and Juliette Gauthier against the backdrop of the social, cultural and economic conditions that shaped their career trajectories and made them possible.

  • Marius Barbeau and Musical Performers Elaine Keillor
    Marius Barbeau and Musical Performers Elaine Keillor Abstract: One of Marius Barbeau’s important contributions to heightening awareness of folk music traditions in Canada was his organization and promotion of concerts. These concerts took different forms and involved a range of performers. Concert presentations of folk music, such as those that Barbeau initiated called the Veillées du bon vieux temps, often and typically included a combination of performers. This article examines Barbeau’s “performers,” including classically educated musicians and some of his most prolific, talented informants. Barbeau and Juliette Gaultier Throughout Barbeau’s career as a folklorist, one of his goals was to use trained Canadian classical musicians as folk music performers, thereby introducing Canada’s rich folk music heritage to a broader public. This practice met with some mixed reviews. There are suggestions that he was criticized for depending on an American singer, Loraine Wyman,1 in his early presentations. Certainly, in his first Veillées du bon vieux temps, he used Sarah Fischer (1896-1975), a French-born singer who had made a highly praised operatic debut in 1918 at the Monument national in Montreal. But in 1919, she returned to Europe to pursue her career. Since she was no longer readily available for Barbeau’s efforts, he had to look elsewhere. One of Barbeau’s most prominent Canadian, classically trained singers was Juliette Gauthier de la Verendrye2 (1888-1972). Born in Ottawa, Juliette Gauthier attended McGill University, studied music in Europe, and made her debut with the Boston Opera in the United States. The younger sister of the singer Eva Gauthier,3 Juliette Gauthier made her professional career performing French, Inuit, and Native music.

    A FEMINIST PERSPECTIVE ON NEW ORLEANS JAZZWOMEN Sherrie Tucker Principal Investigator Submitted by Center for Research University of Kansas 2385 Irving Hill Road Lawrence, KS 66045-7563 September 30, 2004 In Partial Fulfillment of #P5705010381 Submitted to New Orleans Jazz National Historical Park National Park Service 419 Rue Decatur New Orleans, LA 70130 This is a study of women in New Orleans jazz, contracted by the National Park Service, completed between 2001 and 2004. Women have participated in numerous ways, and in a variety of complex cultural contexts, throughout the history of jazz in New Orleans. While we do see traces of women’s participation in extant New Orleans jazz histories, we seldom see women presented as central to jazz culture. Therefore, they tend to appear to occupy minor or supporting roles, if they appear at all. This Research Study uses a feminist perspective to increase our knowledge of women and gender in New Orleans jazz history, roughly between 1880 and 1980, with an emphasis on the earlier years.

Glinka, 40, Piskunova str., Nizhny Novgorod, 603005, Russian Federation For citation: Krom, Anna. “The East in the Works of Charles Griffes”. Vestnik of Saint Petersburg University. Arts 10, no. 1 (2020): 3–16. https://doi.org/10.21638/spbu15.2020.101 The article is devoted to the oriental compositions of the American composer Charles Griffes (1884–1920), created in the 1910s. These include the symphonic poem “The Pleasure-Dome of Kubla Khan” (1912–1917), the vocal cycle “Five Poems of Ancient China and Japan” for voice and piano (1916–1917), and the Japanese pantomime “Sho-Jo” (1917). Significant creative con- tacts (Eva Gauthier, A. Coomaraswamy, E. Bloch, A. Bolm, M. Ito), extensive reading, fascination with folklore, poetry, painting, and philosophy of Asian countries led to the formation of his own method of working with oriental materials. The composer saw prospects for the interaction of Western and Eastern music in his address to the archaic, to the stylization of ancient folklore. An example is the music for the pantomime “Sho-Jo” and the cycle “Five Poems of Ancient Chi- na and Japan.” Natural modes (pentatonic modes), organ points, ascetic quarto-quinto-second verticals, spatial sound, and rhythmic ostinato allow us to draw parallels with new folkloristics, in particular, with the works of I. F. Stravinsky. In the symphonic poem “The Pleasure-Dome of Kubla Khan,” the European influences at the forefront are associated with the study of the “Russian” East (first of all the writings of N.

  • Gamelan in North America by Nathinee Chucherwatanasak
    Gamelan in North America by Nathinee Chucherwatanasak Nee Chucherdwatanasak is a PhD pre-cadidate in musicology at the University of Michigan. Her research interests are in the area of composition and performance of contemporary Western art music in Southeast Asia. EARLY INFLUENCE OF GAMELAN IN WESTERN MUSIC The influence of gamelan in the history of Western music is widely known to begin with Claude Debussy (1862–1918) after his encounter with performances of Javanese gamelan at the 1889 Paris Exhibition. The piano piece “Pagodes” from Estampes (1903) is probably the clearest among his other works to capture gamelan sonorities. Soon gamelan musical features appeared in works by other European composers, including Maurice Ravel’s orchestral version of “Laideronnette, impératrice des pagodes” from Ma mere l’oye (1911), Béla Bartók’s “Island of Bali” from the fourth volume of Mikrokosmos (1926–39), Francis Poulenc’s Concerto for Two Pianos and Orchestra (1932) and the prologue to the opera Les mamelles de Tirésias (1944), Olivier Messiaen’s Turangalîla-Symphonie (1946–48), and Benjamin Britten’s The Prince of the Pagodas (1956). On the other side of the Atlantic Ocean, a Sudanese gamelan acquired by the Field Museum of Natural History after the 1893 World’s Columbian Exposition in Chicago became the first set of gamelan instruments in the United States.[i] Yet, American compositions inspired by music from the Indonesian archipelago did not appear until the late 1910s, when German-trained pianist and composer Charles Griffes (1884–1920) wrote a song cycle entitled Three Javanese (Sundanese) Songs (c.1919–20) for voice and piano.

He was George Gershwin, a man with a positively Schubertian gift for creating memorable memories, as demonstrated by the plethora of wonderful songs written in partnership with his brother Ira as lyricist, and among his admirers could be counted such respected and disparate ‘serious’ composers as Schoenberg, Bartók, Vaughan Williams and Prokofiev – and the Frenchman Maurice Ravel.
