I — BSO BSO Announces Centennial Events The Boston Symphony is just a year away from its 100th birthday, which will take place on 22 October 1981, shortly after the start of the orchestra's 101st season. But this September begins what has been designated the BSO's 100th Anniversary Season, the first of several seasons surrounding the actual 100th birthday and which will lead up to and celebrate that event in a variety of ways. This season's programming reflects one major emphasis of the orchestra's centennial celebrations. Two works will be given their world premieres in Symphony Hall Leonard Bernstein's Divertimento for Orchestra, and Peter Maxwell Davies's Symphony No. 2. These are the first in a series of twelve works specially commissioned for the occasion of the BSO's 100th anniversary. Another way in which the orchestra is celebrating its musical preeminence is by reviving a large number of pieces closely associated with BSO history, works given their world or American premieres by the Boston Symphony. For example, the Bartok Concerto for Orchestra, included along with the new Bernstein work orf this week's program, was performed for the first time by Serge Koussevitzky and the Boston Symphony Orchestra in December 1944. A number of other centennial-related activities have recently been announced by Peter Gelb, the BSO's assistant manager with administrative responsibility for centen- nial events. There are two concert celebrations planned for the actual 100th birthday. On 18 October 1981, a gala concert in Symphony Hall will feature the entire Boston Symphony, Music Director Ozawa, and a number of international guest stars, including Itzhak Perlman, Leontyne Price, Mstislav Rostropovich, Rudolf Serkin, and Isaac Stern, with other guests still to be named. The concert will be a fundraising benefit with tickets priced up to $1,000 and will be followed by a gala ball at Boston's Copley Plaza Hotel. Invitations to this gala event will be mailed at the beginning of February 1981. Twenty corporate sponsorships, each including ten tickets, are available at $10,000 apiece. Then, on the actual 100th birthday, 22 October 1981, Seiji Ozawa will lead the Boston Symphony Orchestra in a free public performance of Beethoven's Ninth Symphony on the Boston Common. An open rehearsal for this event and a special birthday-eve party will be sponsored by the Boston Symphony's Junior Council at Symphony Hall the preceding evening. Gelb notes that "this is a once-in-a-lifetime event. Planning for the centennial celebrations began a couple of years ago. The gala concert on October 18 will attract attention throughout the world, and the free public concert on October 22 is a way in which all of Boston can share in the orchestra's birthday." Related centennial activities include a centennial publication highlighting the many aspects of the BSO's activities, with essays contributed by a number of well-known writers; a Symphony Hall archival display; and a centennial celebration at Tanglewood. The publication and display are planned for January of 1981. In addition, the orchestra has commissioned a lithograph and poster from American artist Robert Rauschenberg. A limited edition of 200 signed, numbered lithographs will be made available at $200 apiece; these will be offered first to trustees, overseers, and special Friends of the orchestra. A large run of posters will go on sale in Symphony Hall as of 1 January 1981. Coordinating the orchestra's centennial plans is a Centennial Committee co-chaired by Mrs. George Lee Sargent, a BSO trustee, and BSO overseer Mrs. Norman L. Cahners. Honoring William Schuman This week, in conjunction with the performance of his Third Symphony at these concerts, William Schuman will be honored with the Horblit Award, presented periodically by the BSO to a major American composer in recognition of lifetime achievement. The composer will be in Boston for the occasion, and there will be several special events open to the public. On Friday, 3 October, the composer will speak informally about his music in the art gallery of the Boston University School for the Arts, 855 Commonwealth Avenue, at 1 1 a.m. And on Sunday, 5 October, there will be a special free concert at Sanders Theater in Cambridge featuring members of the Boston Symphony, soprano Rosalind Rees, conductor Gunther Schuller, the Harvard-Radcliffe Collegium Musicum directed by Jameson Marvin, and the Harvard Wind Ensemble directed by Thomas Everett. The program will include choral, chamber, and wind band music from all stages of Schuman's career. The concert will take place at 3 p.m.; no tickets are required. With Thanks We are pleased to announce that the chair in the first violin section of the orchestra presently occupied by Max Hobart has been endowed by Robert L. Beal of Boston and Enid and Bruce A. Beal of Lincoln. The Boston Symphony Orchestra is deeply grateful to the Beal family for this generous contribution demonstrating their belief in and devotion to the Boston Symphony Orchestra. The Beals have been devotees to the Boston Symphony since their teen years. Art Exhibits in the Cabot'Cahners Room We are pleased to announce the continuation of monthly art exhibitions in the Cabot- Cahners Room at Symphony Hall during the 1980-81 season. Works on display will be coming to us from schools, museums, non-profit artists' organizations, and commercial galleries in the Boston area, and most of the work exhibited is for sale.

Yet her equally wide influence on the world of music was largely unrecognized until 1992, when the late Carlton Lowenberg published his groundbreaking study Musicians Wrestle Everywhere: Emily Dickinson and Music (Fallen Leaf Press), an examination of Dickinson's involvement in the music of her time, and a "detailed inventory" of 1,615 musical settings of her poems. The result is a survey of an important segment of twentieth-century music. In the years since Lowenberg's inventory appeared, the number of Dickinson settings is estimated to have more than doubled, and a large number of them have been performed and recorded. One critic has described Dickinson as "the darling of modern composers."1 The intriguing question of why this should be so has been answered in many ways by composers and others.

    American Music Review The H. Wiley Hitchcock Institute for Studies in American Music Conservatory of Music, Brooklyn College of the City University of New York Volume XLVI, Issue 1 Fall 2016 Now He Walks in Beauty: An American Choral Icon Malcolm J. Merriweather, Brooklyn College, CUNY 2016 was a particularly poignant year of loss for the music world. In pop music, the world bid farewell to ground-breaking artists like David Bowie, Prince, and George Michael. On 12 July 2016 the world of choral music lost a great luminary with the death of Gregg Smith. During the second half of the twentieth century, Smith set the standard for professional choirs when he established the Gregg Smith Singers and was widely admired for his contributions to the field of contemporary choral composition through interpretation, commis- sioning, and recording. Gregg Smith was born on 21 Au- gust 1931 in Chicago, Illinois to Myr- tle and Howard Smith. He earned a B.A. in music and an M.A. in com- position from the University of Cali- fornia at Los Angeles. His primary composition teachers were Lukas Foss and Leonard Stein, and his conduct- ing and ensemble mentors were Raymond Moreman and Fritz Zweig. Throughout his career, Smith served on the faculties at Ithaca College, the State University of New York at Stony Brook, Peabody Conservatory, Columbia University, and Manhattan School of Music. In 1955, he founded the Gregg Gregg Smith, 1931–2016 Smith Singers in Los Angeles. At the Contemporary Music Festival in Darmstadt, Smith and his singers were featured in Time (September, 1961, 73) after a successful performance of music by Schoenberg, Krenek, and Ives.
  • A Pictoral History of the Boston Music Hall and the Great Organ

    A Pictoral History of the Boston Music Hall and the Great Organ

    A PICTORIAL HISTORY OF THE BOSTON MUSIC HALL AND THE GREAT ORGAN by Ed Sampson, President, Methuen Memorial Music Hall, Inc. 2018 Few instruments in the history of pipe organs in America have had as long, or as distinguished, a career as the Boston Music Hall Organ. The first concert organ in the country, it remains today one of the outstanding organs in America. The need for a large and centrally-located concert hall for Boston was discussed at the annual meeting of the Harvard Musical Association, founded in 1837 (Henry White Pickering (1811-1898), President) on January 31, 1851. A "Music Hall Committee", comprised of members Robert East Apthorp (1812-1882), George Derby (1819-1874), John Sullivan Dwight (1813-1893), Charles Callahan Perkins (1822-1886), and Dr. Jabez Baxter Upham (1820- 1902), was appointed to address the matter. The Boston Music Hall was built in 1852 by the Boston Music-Hall Association, founded in 1851 (Jabez Baxter Upham, President) and by the Harvard Musical Association, that contributed $100,000 towards its construction. It stood in the center of a block that sloped downward from Tremont Street to Washington Street; and was between Winter Street on the south and Bromfield Street on the north. Almost entirely surrounded by other buildings, only glimpses of the hall's massive granite block foundation and plain brick walls could be seen. There were two entrances to the Music Hall: the Bumstead Place entrance, (named after Thomas Bumstead (1740-1828) a Boston coachmaker), off Tremont Street (later Hamilton Place) opposite the Park Street Church; 1 and the Central Place or Winter Place (later Music Hall Place) entrance off Winter Street.

    Cover Art Levy Levy_LinerNts Altrntv8_559427.indd 1 7/28/04 5:24:05 PM A MESSAGE FROM THE MILKEN ARCHIVE FOUNDER Dispersed over the centuries to all corners of the earth, the Jewish people absorbed elements of its host cultures while, miraculously, maintaining its own. As many Jews reconnected in America, escaping persecution and seeking to take part in a visionary democratic society, their experiences found voice in their music. The sacred and secu- lar body of work that has developed over the three centuries since Jews first arrived on these shores provides a powerful means of expressing the multilayered saga of American Jewry. My personal interest in music and deep abiding commitment to synagogue life and the Jewish people united as I developed an increasing appreciation for the quality and tremendous diversity of music written for or inspired by the American Jewish experience. Through discussions with contemporary Jewish composers and performers during the 1980s, I realized that while much of this music had become a vital force in American and world culture, even more music of specifically Jewish content had been created, perhaps performed, and then lost to current and future generations. Believing that there was a unique opportunity to rediscover, preserve, and transmit the collective memory contained within this music, the Milken Archive of American Jewish Music was founded in 1990. This project would unite the Jewish people’s eternal love of music with their commitment to education, a commitment shared by the Milken Family Foundation since our founding in 1982. The passionate collaboration of many distinguished artists, ensembles, and recording producers has created a vast repository of musical resources to educate, entertain, and inspire people of all faiths and cultures.
