  • Leonard Falcone Enrolled Part-Time at Michigan's University School of Music, While Continuing to Play in Theaters
    Leonard Solid Brass by Rita Griffin Comstock Biography Falcone Biography Leonard Vincent Falcone was born April 5, 1899 in Roseto Valfortore, a Province of Foggia in Italy, one of Dominico and Maria Filippa (Finelli) Falcone's seven children. Leonard began his musical career in 1908 at the age of nine by playing the alto horn in the prestigious town band (known as the Roseto Valfortore Band or the "Banda Municipale") directed by the famous Donato Donatelli, Neapolitan Bandmaster. Leonard's brother, Nicholas, was also a member of the band. Nicholas emigrated to the United States in 1912 in order to pursue a career in music. In 1915, at the advent of World War I, Leonard joined him. Nicholas had found work in Ann Arbor as a tailor and clarinet player in a theater. Upon arriving in Michigan, Leonard became a tailor's assistant, and as a trombonist in a silent movie theater band in Ypsilanti that his brother was conducting. In 1917 Leonard Falcone enrolled part-time at Michigan's University School of Music, while continuing to play in theaters. Falcone was granted citizenship in 1924, and in 1926 graduated with a diploma in the violin. During this time, Nicholas had been appointed director of the Varsity Band at the University of Michigan. The Falcone brothers began to develop a sound reputation as musicians and conductors in the Ann Arbor community. The Secretary of Michigan State College contacted the Treasurer of the University of Michigan, and requested his recommendation for the position of Director of Bands at Michigan State. Both brothers were seriously considered for the position, but since Nicholas was settled with a wife and child in Ann Arbor, it was decided that Leonard, the bachelor, should take the position in East Lansing.

  • 60 Years and Eagerly Looking to the Future
    February, 2006 Volume 17 Motifs Number 1 A Publication of the Midwest Clinic A DEFINING ACCOMPLISHMENT— 60 Years and Eagerly Looking to the Future ith fondness and joy I recall the 25th wedding anniversary that my wife, Molly, and I celebrated with family and friends. We laughed a lot and marveled at how quickly those 25 W years had passed. Last December, just after the Midwest Clinic, we celebrated our 42nd year together and looked forward to that very special “Golden” milestone that is still ahead of us. After all, a 50th anniversary celebration becomes a time for special moments, events, and memories relishing past accomplishments, just as it was for the Midwest Clinic’s 50th year with special concerts, clinics, guests and the much-anticipated publishing of “The First 50 Years” by Victor and Marilea Zajec. Recently I was looking through this fantastic book and was once again struck by the wealth of our history and the incredible changes, growth and impact this organization has had on our profession. Every one of the last 59 conferences has included individuals who attended the first Midwest Clinic, a band reading session, in 1946. Richard Brittain is one of these individuals. A Midwest Clinic board member since 1974, he has informed us he will retire from the board following this year’s conference, after having served in so many capacities, so faithfully for six decades. The Midwest Clinic has valued and appreciated his years of service and practical leadership. Midwest This special edition of the Motifs focuses on the types of truly outstanding experiences you can have at the Midwest Clinic.

  • Nicholas Falcone, the Band Director You've Probably Never Heard of By
    Nicholas Falcone, The Band Director You’ve Probably Never Heard Of By Joseph Dobos and William Berz This article was written for the Journal of the World Association for Symphonic Bands and Wind Ensembles and is used with permission. It might be tempting to assume that most of the early leaders of college bands of the teens and 1920s were, themselves, students in collegiate band programs. Looking at the role of the University of Illinois Band program under the leadership of Albert Austin Harding during this era, such assumption would appear to be true. “Harding’s contributions to the development of the collegiate band program affected nearly every aspect of college bands.”1 Many of Harding’s students became leaders in the early collegiate band world. Some of the most notable include, Mark Hindsley, his successor at Illinois, Raymond Dvorak at Wisconsin, Glenn Cliffe Bainum at Northwestern, Keith Wilson at Yale, Guy Duker at Illinois, Clarence Sawhill at UCLA. Others such as William D. Revelli and Frederick Fennell were deeply influenced by Harding.2 In this era of training future college directors, Harding’s mark certainly left a lasting impression that is the norm in present times. Harding’s pioneering work with public school directors through the National Band Clinic and other activities helped to establish important links between bands and music education that still exist.3 However, the training of the early collegiate band conductors was not as homogenous as it might appear. The two Falcone brothers, Nicholas and Leonard, each led important and emerging college bands beginning in the 1920s.

  • The History and Development of the Ohio State University Concert Wind Band Program from 1929 – 1995
    The History and Development of The Ohio State University Concert Wind Band Program from 1929 – 1995 Thesis Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Arts in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Jennifer Marie Blair, B.M. Graduate Program in Music The Ohio State University 2010 Master's Examination Committee: Dr. Daryl Kinney, Advisor Dr. Patricia Flowers Dr. Russel Mikkelson Copyright by Jennifer Marie Blair 2010 Abstract From humble beginnings, the concert wind bands at The Ohio State University developed from a utilitarian campus group to a nationally recognized program, serving the artistic, educational, and aesthetic needs of the students for whom it exists. From an educational standpoint, the Ohio State band program is not alone in this development. Across the country, similar wind groups began as makeshift military bands, fashioned loosely in the style of traveling professional groups from the early twentieth century. As these bands became established campus ensembles, eventually serving the academic needs of music departments and schools, directors began to selectively model their programs on the philosophical and educational trends of the day. Reflective of the national progression of the wind band movement, the Ohio State band directors demonstrated a desire to perform original and often contemporary literature, to replicate the instrumentation of other leading university band programs, and to seek performance opportunities that would bring recognition to the ensemble and attract talented prospective students. As opportunities and resources grew for band directors at Ohio State, value-based decisions were made, which resulted from the directors' own philosophical views on performance and education, limited only by the support and funding provided by campus administrators.
