Smith & Co Your Flute Works Charlotte, NC New York City www.flutesmith.com www.yourfluteworks.com NFA Convention Booth 209,211 4 nfaonline.org On behalf of the NFA board of directors and staff, welcome to Anaheim! t my first NFA convention decades ago, when it Awas much smaller, the number of fantastic per- formances flabbergasted me—I never knew great flute playing was so widely distributed! Much to my surprise, some Young Artist Competition finalists were just as polished as established artists (and today Leonard Garrison these former competitors are themselves established artists). If this is your first convention, I hope you have a similar revelation. In the era of iTunes and YouTube, gatherings like ours take on increased importance. Music has never been so accessible, but most people now have a much-diminished experience of it, listening to compressed sound files through tiny earphones while they’re jogging or chatting on the Internet. I look forward this week to time for pure listening, hearing what flutists really sound like, how they project, how they color the sound. Program Chair Cynthia Ellis has cooked up a hearty stew of great performanc- es and fascinating presentations. New to the mix this year are workshops with the NFA’s Career and Artistic Development Committee, concerts and classes with the Low Flutes Committee, a Kids Kamp for flutists ages 8–13, and professional devel- opment credit for convention attendance (forms are available at the NFA registra- tion desk). Many thanks to Cynthia for her volunteering a huge amount of her life this past year to make it all happen! Our exhibitors are a significant part of the NFA and spend much time, effort, and money bringing their offerings to us. Please support them not only by visit- ing the exhibits but also by buying, whether it’s a $20,000 flute or a $3.95 tchotchke. I always leave the convention with a full suitcase! I look forward to seeing you at the opening annual meeting of the NFA on Thursday at 8:30 a.m. and the closing ceremonies on Sunday at 4:00 p.m. In between, the board will conduct the business of the organization in morning meetings. Please come meet us at the NFA booth in the exhibit hall on Friday and Saturday from 4:00 to 5:00 p.m. We’d be happy to hear your ideas about our future. Join me in celebration of 2010 Lifetime Achievement Award recipients Leone Buyse and Fenwick Smith and National Service Award honoree Gwen Powell at the Reception and Gala Dinner on Saturday. Other chances to mingle with fellow flutists are the Myrna Brown Society Dinner on Thursday, the Flute Lover’s Lunch on Friday with Jim Walker, and the new Teacher’s Breakfast on Saturday with Tadeu Coelho. I cannot give enough thanks to the many volunteers who are the lifeblood of the NFA, our excellent staff, my fellow officers and board members, the many gener- ous contributors, and the entire membership. It’s been an honor and pleasure to work with all of you. After years as secretary, treasurer, vice chair, and chair, I look forward, for once, to a full experience of our next convention in Charlotte, North Carolina, August 11–14, 2011. See you there!

  • NCRC Award Brian Docs
    NCRC 2012 Radio Awards Application, Documentary Bio and Program Note Producer: Brian Meagher Bio: It all began when I was six years old and I heard `Popcorn` for the first time. I remember being at the A&W Drive-In, the waitresses arriving at our car on roller skates, and this incredible song providing the soundtrack. Electronic music has provided my soundtrack ever since. Program: Synthumentary (episodes 1-3) Description: Synthumentary is a five-part look at the evolution of the electronic instruments and their place in popular culture, from the earliest electromechanical musical devices to the Moog explosion of the late 60`s and early 70`s. Synthumentary presents a survey of the landmark inventors, instruments, artists and recordings of each era. In each episode, we look at a different scene, discuss the era`s principle actors and play some of their music to illustrate the style of music made at the time. The evolution of electronic music technology is explained to frame each episode. Our aim is to provide the casual listener of electronic music with an appreciation of its possibilities and the more knowledgeable fan with at least a few nuggets of novel information. Among the subjects covered are: The Telharmonium, Theremin, The ”Forbidden Planet” Soundtrack, Raymond Scott, The Ondioline, Jean-Jacques Perrey and Gershon Kingsley, Bob Moog and the Moog music phenomena, Silver Apples, and the Canadian scene: Hugh LeCaine to Bruce Haack to Jean Sauvageau. The intro and outro theme is an original composition written and performed by members of The Unireverse for Synthumentary. The audio submitted contains excerpts from all three episodes.

KEITH BERNSTEIN . Page 3 of 4 Page 4 of 4 November 1, 2014 From Month to Month, in a Work of the Eerie and the Oddball ‘October in the Chair and Other Fragile Things’ By Alexis Soloski A sad tale’s best for winter, Shakespeare tells us. So what’s the right kind of story for this time of year? A spooky one, of course. Old Sound Room, a young company built by recent Yale School of Drama graduates, has five on offer. In “October in the Chair and Other Fragile Things,” an enjoyably eerie if overwrought piece, the ensemble adapts yarns plucked from “Fragile Things,” a collection of miscellany by the fantasy writer Neil Gaiman. On a set bedecked with cobwebs and dead trees, five performers (including the director, Michael McQuilken) play various months of the year. Wearing ragtag clothes and the sort of stage makeup that resembles a wasting disease, they take turns telling anecdotes and legends. (What of the other seven months? I guess it’s a very short year.) August offers a standard-issue chiller; February, a sad romance; May, a metafictional jumble; March, a bit of faux-Victoriana; and October, an early version of Mr. Gaiman’s much-loved “The Graveyard Book.” Much of this is in the story theater vein, with the months narrating the characters’ actions. Mr. Gaiman has a restless, playful intelligence and a fan boy’s devotion to oddball genre, and the performances are deft and spirited.

  • Politics and Popular Culture: the Renaissance in Liberian Music, 1970-89
    POLITICS AND POPULAR CULTURE: THE RENAISSANCE IN LIBERIAN MUSIC, 1970-89 By TIMOTHY D. NEVIN A DISSERTATION PRESENTED TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA IN PARTIAL FUFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA 2010 1 © 2010 Timothy Nevin 2 To all the Liberian musicians who died during the war-- (Tecumsey Roberts, Robert Toe, Morris Dorley and many others) Rest in Peace 3 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I would like to thank my parents and my uncle Frank for encouraging me to pursue graduate studies. My father’s dedication to intellectual pursuits and his life-long love of teaching have been constant inspirations to me. I would like to thank my Liberian wife, Debra Doeway for her patience in attempting to answer my thousand and one questions about Liberian social life and the time period “before the war.” I would like to thank Dr. Luise White, my dissertation advisor, for her guidance and intellectual rigor as well as Dr. Sue O’Brien for reading my manuscript and offering helpful suggestions. I would like to thank others who also read portions of my rough draft including Marissa Moorman. I would like to thank University of Florida’s Africana librarians Dan Reboussin and Peter Malanchuk for their kind assistance and instruction during my first semester of graduate school. I would like to acknowledge the many university libraries and public archives that welcomed me during my cross-country research adventure during the summer of 2007.
