Guide to the Stephen H. Warner Collection
Guide to the Stephen H. Warner Collection Gettysburg College, Musselman Library Special Collections & College Archives Processed by Joseph R. Tucker Summer 2004 MS-044. Stephen H. Warner Collection (30 boxes, 8.1 cubic feet) Inclusive Dates: 1955-1971 Bulk Dates: 1970-1971 Processed by Joseph R. Tucker, '03 Summer 2004 Biography [Taken from the Stephen Warner Online Exhibit (2004-2018) at http://www.gettysburg.edu/special_collections/exhibits/warner/intro.dot] Stephen Warner attended Gettysburg College from 1964-1968, a relatively quiet period in the college's history. According to a sampling of the Gettysburgian from the 1964-1965 academic year, the student newspaper did occasionally mention United States involvement in southeast Asia. However, there were no indications of widespread student concern about this matter at that time. As a major in History, Steve Warner came to focus his interests on civil rights and social justice. His academic advisor, Roger Stemen, emeritus professor of History, described Warner as having been "radically intellectual, a non-collegiate type interested in the arts, history, and economics." Stephen Warner was perceived by those who knew him to be open-minded and considerate of others, but intense about those social and ethical matters that concerned him most. He was on the staff of the Gettysburgian and eventually became a Feature Editor. He was instrumental in establishing new campus organizations, including a human relations forum and the Ad Hoc Committee Against the Vietnam War. During his senior year he was inducted into the Phi Beta Kappa National Honor Society. He also was accepted to the Yale University Law School. -

Living is Easy with Eyes Closed (Spain 2014) DIRECTOR : David Trueba RUNNING TIME : 108mins RATING : M Synopsis: Set in Franco-era Spain, a free-spirited English teacher sets out to meet his idol John Lennon, who is filming on the other side of the country. Antonio wants to understand the lyric to the newly released Norwegian Wood. Review: Philippa Hawker Spanish filmmaker David Trueba came across the subject matter for his new film quite by accident. It wasn't just the tale of John Lennon's 1966 Spanish sojourn that intrigued him. It was the account of a teacher of English with a Beatles obsession who was determined to meet Lennon and ask him about his lyrics – lyrics that he used as a teaching aid in the classroom. Trueba read about this man in 2006, when the town of Almeria was celebrating the 40th anniversary of Lennon's presence; he had come there to take an acting role in a satirical comedy with director Richard Lester called How I Won The War. The other significant element in the project was a personal one. The novelist and filmmaker is the youngest of eight brothers; at the time Lennon was in Spain, Trueba's second brother was locked in a struggle with his father about the length of his hair. "He was trying to get his hair long, because he was a crazy fan of the Beatles and the Rolling Stones. And my father was a typical Spanish father of the time of Franco, very authoritarian. So he told him to cut his hair. -
Monograph-Ana Catalina Ramirez
COSTA RICAN COMPOSER CARLOS ESCALANTE MACAYA AND HIS CONCERTO FOR CLARINET AND STRINGS A Monograph Submitted to the Temple University Graduate Board In partial fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree DOCTOR OF MUSICAL ARTS by Ana Catalina Ramírez Castrillo May, 2014 Examining Committee Members: Dr. Cynthia Folio, Advisory Chair, Music Studies Department (Music Theory) Dr. Charles Abramovic, Piano Department, Keyboard Department (Piano) Dr. Emily Threinen, Instrumental Studies Department (Winds and Brass) Dr. Stephen Willier, Music Studies Department (Music History) ABSTRACT The purpose of this monograph is to promote Costa Rican academic music by focusing on Costa Rican composer Carlos Escalante Macaya and his Concerto for Clarinet and Strings (2012). I hope to contribute to the international view of Latin American composition and to promote Costa Rican artistic and cultural productions abroad with a study of the Concerto for Clarinet and Strings (Escalante’s first venture into the concerto genre), examining in close detail its melodic, rhythmic and harmonic treatment as well as influences from different genres and styles. The monograph will also include a historical context of Costa Rican musical history, a brief discussion of previous important Costa Rican composers for the clarinet, a short analysis of the composer’s own previous work for the instrument (Ricercare for Solo Clarinet) and performance notes. Also, in addition to the publication and audio/video recording of the clarinet concerto, this document will serve as a resource for clarinet soloists around the world. Carlos Escalante Macaya (b. 1968) is widely recognized in Costa Rica as a successful composer. His works are currently performed year-round in diverse performance venues in the country. -

Public Relations Industry Brief History Latin American Origins Latin American studies about the origins of public relations in the continent establish a common denominator as to the source of the practice in the region. Costa Rica is no exception, and this common denominator plays a relatively important goal in the development and establishment not only in the country, but also for Central America in particular. According to early registries, the genesis of public relations in Latin America is closely related to the introduction of foreign companies, which were used to having public relations as part of their businesses, into the local economies (Molleda & Moreno, 2008). -

Cast: Michael Crawford, John Lennon, Roy Kinnear, Lee Montague. Summary: War/comedy set in North Africa and Europe during WWII. Lt. Ernest Goodbody (Crawford), a middle-aged British veteran of WWII reminisces about his triumphs in the British Army. His warm memories, however, belie the realities of a disastrous career leading one of the worst units in the British Army. According to Michael Lanning (below), Vietnam provided the motivation for this anti-war, anti-officer, anti-military film.

Costa Rican MUSIC
Costa Rican MUSIC A small peek into the culture that fills the air of Costa Rica . By Trent Cronin During my time spent in the country of Costa Rica, I found a lot of PURA VIDA different sounds that catch your ear while you are in Costa Rica. After sorting This is a picture of a guy through the honking horns and barking dogs, you’ll find two types of music. I met named Jorge; he These two types of music are the traditional Latin American music and the more works at the airport in modern, or Mainstream, music that we are familiar with in the States. The Latin Heredia. He was telling American music includes some well-known instruments like the guitar, maracas, some me that music is in his veins. This is a good type of wind instrument (sometimes an ocarina) and the occasional xylophone. The example of how every music style tends to be very up beat and gives of a happy vibe, although there are Costa Rican holds some sad songs. Sometimes, in the larger, more populated, parts of the city, you can music near and dear to find one or more street performers playing this type of music. I don’t know what it is their heart. about hearing someone sing in a foreign language, but I like it. I will admit; I was a little surprised to walk passed a car and hear Beyonce’ being played. After further time spent I found out that other famous music artist like Metallica, The Beatles, Michael Jackson, and Credence Clear Water Revival (CCR) have diffused into the radio waves of Costa Rica. -
Costa Rican Composer Benjamín Gutiérrez and His Piano Works
ANDRADE, JUAN PABLO, D.M.A. Costa Rican Composer Benjamín Gutiérrez and his Piano Works. (2008) Directed by Dr. John Salmon. 158 pp. The purpose of this study is to research the life and work of Costa Rican composer Benjamín Gutiérrez (b.1937), with particular emphasis on his solo piano works. Although comprised of a small number of pieces, his piano output is an excellent representation of his musical style. Gutiérrez is regarded as one of Costa Rica’s most prominent composers, and has been the recipient of countless awards and distinctions. His works are known beyond Costa Rican borders only to a limited extent; thus one of the goals of this investigation is to make his music more readily known and accessible for those interested in studying it further. The specific works studied in this project are his Toccata y Fuga, his lengthiest work for the piano, written in 1959; then five shorter pieces written between 1981 and 1992, namely Ronda Enarmónica, Invención, Añoranza, Preludio para la Danza de la Pena Negra and Danza de la Pena Negra. The study examines Gutiérrez’s musical style in the piano works and explores several relevant issues, such as his relationship to nationalistic or indigenous sources, his individual use of musical borrowing, and his stance toward tonality/atonality. He emerges as a composer whose aesthetic roots are firmly planted in Europe, with strong influence from nineteenth-century Romantics such as Chopin and Tchaikovsky, but also the “modernists” Bartók, Prokofiev, Milhaud, and Ginastera, the last two of whom were Gutiérrez’s teachers. The research is divided into six chapters, comprising an introduction, an overview of the development of art music in Costa Rica, a biography of Gutiérrez, a brief account of piano music in the country before Gutiérrez and up to the present day, a detailed study of his solo piano compositions, and conclusions.
