Purple Phoenix Productions is pleased to present “SINGIN’ AND SWINGIN’ WITH BOBBY D” pays tribute to one of America’s music icons and features popular Seattle-based actor/singer Bob De Dea backed by a nine piece orchestra and three back-up vocalists. It’s a concert staged in the 1960’s style of the Las Vegas/Atlantic City showrooms in their heyday. An extremely versatile musician, Darin performed and composed pop, rock, swing, folk and country music throughout his career. Among the many Darin hits included in this concert are: “Mack The Knife”, “Beyond The Sea”, “Lazy River”, “If I Were A Carpenter”, “Simple Song Of Freedom”, “Queen Of The Hop”, “Bill Bailey”, “Multiplication”, “Work Song”, “Splish Splash” and “Dream Lover.” Bobby Darin was a multi-talented performer, known primarily as a singer, but was also an Oscar- nominated actor who was posthumously inducted into the Songwriter’s Hall Of Fame. His career skyrocketed with the release of his 1958 single “Splish Splash,” and he rode a wave of popularity that led him into a string of film and television appearances. His recording of “Mack The Knife” won the 1960 Grammy Award for Record of the Year and he was later honored with a Grammy Hall of Fame Award. Darin received the Grammy for Best New Artist the same year. He received a Golden Globe award for his first film, COME SEPTEMBER, and his headline nightclub act from the 1960’s-1970’s set attendance records in New York and Las Vegas. Darin suffered from poor health and a weak heart for almost his entire life. He died in 1973 at the age of 37 following surgery to repair two artificial heart valves. In 1990 Darin was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. In 2007 he was inducted into the Hit Parade Hall of Fame. He received a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award in 2010. Bob DeDea, an accomplished entertainer in his own right, brings the electricity and magic of a Bobby Darin concert to life – re-creating the excitement and elegance of one of Darin’s legendary concert appearances.

Summach, the Structure, Function, and Genesis of the Prechorus
Volume 17, Number 3, October 2011 Copyright © 2011 Society for Music Theory The Structure, Function, and Genesis of the Prechorus (1) Jay Summach NOTE: The examples for the (text-only) PDF version of this item are available online at: http://www.mtosmt.org/issues/mto.11.17.3/mto.11.17.3.summach.php KEYWORDS: popular music, rock music, form, prechorus, sentence, srdc ABSTRACT: Prechoruses emerged in the mid-1960s as verse-chorus and strophic forms converged upon a four-part formal disposition that Everett (1999) calls “statement, restatement, departure, and conclusion,” or srdc. This study traces the expansion of the srdc scheme from its compact deployment in strophes to expanded iterations that approximate verse- chorus form. Received February 2011 [1] This article examines an episode in the evolution of verse-chorus form in pop/rock music. Until the mid-1960s, most verse-chorus songs alternated between the two formal sections from which verse-chorus form takes its name: verses and choruses. Example 1, Mark Dinning’s “Teen Angel,” illustrates the form.(2) As is typical for verse-chorus songs, the focal point of “Teen Angel” is the chorus: it contains the most engaging musical material; its unchanging lyric makes it easy to remember; and it is marked for special attention by additional vocal and instrumental parts. The verses, on the other hand, provide context: each verse advances the song narrative by presenting fresh lyrics; and the music is more modest in instrumentation and intensity so as not to steal attention from the chorus. In “Teen Angel,” the tempo is treated flexibly during the verses, which further distinguishes them from the choruses.

Ditsky: Nature and Character in the Novels of Willa Cather Colby Library Quarterly Series X September 1974 No.7 NATURE AND CHARACTER IN THE NOVELS OF WILLA CATHER By JORN DITSKY bvious as is the presence of Nature in the novels of Willa OCather, few readers have attempted to restore what must have been Cather's system, conscious or not, of treating the relationship between Nature and individual character. The ele ments which constitute Willa Cather's employment of the Na ture-man relationship are expressed typically (if briefly and concisely) in the poem entitled "Prairie Spring," which appears by way of foreword to 0 Pioneers!: Evening and the flat land, Rich and somber and always silent; The miles of fresh-plowed soil, Heavy and black, full of strength and harshness; The growing wheat, the growing weeds, The toiling horses, the tired men; The long, empty roads, Sullen fires of sunset, fading, The eternal, unresponsive sky. Against all this, Youth, Flaming like the wild roses, Singing like the larks over the plowed fields, Flashing like a star out of the twilight; Youth with its insupportable sweetness, Its fierce necessity, Its sharp desire; Singing and singing, Out of the lips of silence, Out of the earthy dusk.

Raised in a Manhattan tenement, Walden Robert Cassotto found a way to escape – through his music. Forming a band in high school, he first played pop hits of the early '50s and standards; then he moved to calypso and folk before becoming one of rock 'n' roll's pioneers, cutting records reminiscent of Elvis Presley, Fats Domino and Little Richard, and writing what became one of Buddy Holly's biggest hits – Early In The Morning . This collection draws from sessions originally released on Decca, Atco, Brunswick and Capitol; and recorded in New York, Nashville and Los Angeles. In addition to hits like Splish Splash, Dream Lover and Early In The Morning, the album includes She's Tanfastic, originally issued as a tanning- cream promotion, and Clementine , a swinging big-band precursor to Sinatra's Old MacDonald .

Italian Americans in Bronx Doo Wop-The Glory and the Paradox The appearance of the Green Book, a mass market movie where the Italian American main character doesn't want Black people fixing things in his house, but feels confident enough to school a Black classical musician on the music of "Little Richard" is a perfect opening for discussing the prominent- and ambivalent- role of Italian Americans in the growth of Urban Harmonic Music- sometimes known as "Doo Wop"- in the Bronx. A form of music that was first performed by black artists in the Morrisania section of the Bronx in the early 1950's, and popularized through hits like the Chords "Sh-Boom" and the Chantels "Maybe," it spread quickly into Bronx Italian American neighborhoods and led to scores of Italian Americans groups making records, and two Italian American singers, Dion DiMucci and Bobby Darin (Walden Robert Cossotto), becoming among the best known rock and roll stars of the later 50's.
