  • Million Dollar Quartet” by Colin Escott & Floyd Mutrux at the Hippodrome Theatre Through December 2
    “Million Dollar Quartet” By Colin Escott & Floyd Mutrux At the Hippodrome Theatre through December 2 By James Cooper MEMORIES ARE MADE OF THIS … PRODUCTION Flashing lights, shimmering jackets and long musical solos radiate through the production of “Million Dollar Quartet,” now at the Hippodrome Theatre. Though the special effects and costumes are beneficial in some instances, the show lacks emphasis in the one area it should stress the most: the music. The whole story focuses on the decisions of four major musicians from the 1950s: Carl Perkins, Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis and Elvis Presley. Music is the main concept within the script, but it certainly isn’t the main concept within the performance. The show focuses on a single event: the night that all four musicians of the “Million Dollar Quartet” were present in the same space at the same time, the Sun Records Studio in Memphis on December 4, 1956. Elvis (Cody Slaughter) used to be a member of the Sun Records family but then he switched to RCA, a bigger label. Since this change, Elvis has lost contact with his former producer, Sam Phillips (Vince Nappo). As Elvis returns with his girlfriend Dyanne (Kelly Lamont) he makes it clear to Sam that he wishes he had stayed at Sun. Sam too wishes that Elvis had stayed, but his main focus is now on producing Johnny (David Elkins) and the up-and-coming Jerry Lee (Martin Kaye). All the while Carl (Robert Britton Lyons) has to decide whether or not he wants to leave Sun Records or move on to Columbia.

  • Love Songs Press Release
    1 THE MOST ROMANTIC SONGS RECORDED BY THE ACCLAIMED AARON NEVILLE, INCLUDING TRACKS WITH LINDA RONSTADT AND THE NEVILLE BROTHERS, COLLECTED ON NEW COMPILATION AARON NEVILLE: LOVE SONGS “With an angelic voice capable of reconciling spiritual opposites-–wisdom and innocence, masculinity and femininity, the sacred and the profane--(Aaron) Neville can pretty much find the soul of any song...(using) that famous catch in his throat to convey the exuberance of unbridled passion.” --Rolling Stone (1995) The sweet soulful voice of Aaron Neville--the most familiar figure of New Orleans’ first family of music--has been brought to bear on love songs since the late ‘60s. Now 14 of those love songs from his most successful period, the ‘80s and ‘90s, have been collected on Aaron Neville: Love Songs (A&M/UME), released January 14, 2003. With the album co-compiled by Neville himself, each digitally remastered track was selected for its power of romance rather than its chart position. As a result, Aaron Neville: Love Songs brings most of these songs, spanning the years 1981 to 1997, together for the first time on any compilation. The album is the latest in the artist-driven, genre-crossing yet thematic Love Songs series which has previously included collections from Etta James, Elton John, and Stephanie Mills and is scheduled to release albums from Diana Ross, Marvin Gaye, the Moody Blues, Peggy Lee and more. Two recordings heard on Aaron Neville: Love Songs are actually from The Neville Brothers (Aaron, Art, Charles and Cyril): their Nawlins renditions of the doo-wop classic “The Ten Commandments Of Love” and ballad standard “Mona Lisa,” both from the siblings’ 1981 Joel Dorn-produced album Fiyo On The Bayou.

  • What the Experts Say About Mississippi Music
    What The Experts Say Blues in Mississippi *Alan Lomax in his book , The Land Where the Blues Began, said, AAlthough this has been called the age of anxiety, it might better be termed the century of the blues, after the moody song style that was born sometime around 1900 in the Mississippi Delta.@ Lomax goes on to credit black Delta blues musicians by saying, ATheir productions transfixed audiences; and white performers rushed to imitate and parody them in the minstrel show, buck dancing, ragtime, jazz, as nowadays in rock, rap, and the blues.@ *While there was indeed anxiety between blacks and whites in Mississippi, at least one venue demanded mutual respect - - - - music. Robert M. Baker, author of A Brief History of the Blues, said, A...blues is a native American musical and verse form, with no direct European and African antecedents of which we know. In other words, it is a blending of both traditions.@ However, there is no question that rhythmic dance tunes brought over by slaves influenced greatly the development of the blues. Blacks took the instruments and church music from Europe and wove them with their ancestral rhythms into what we know as the blues. *Christine Wilson, in the Mississippi Department of Archives publication, All Shook Up, Mississippi Roots of American Popular Music, said, A Music that emerged from Mississippi has shaped the development of popular music of the country and world. Major innovators created new music in every form - - - gospel, blues, country, R&B, rock, and jazz.@ *William Farris in Blues From the Delta wrote, ABlues shape both popular and folk music in American culture; and blues-yodeling Jimmie Rodgers, Elvis Presley, and the Rolling Stones are among many white performers who incorporate blues in their singing styles.@ For another example, Joachim Berendt=s book, The Jazz Book, outlines the development of jazz from its blues roots.

  • Stu Davis: Canada's Cowboy Troubadour
    Stu Davis: Canada’s Cowboy Troubadour by Brock Silversides Stu Davis was an immense presence on Western Canada’s country music scene from the late 1930s to the late 1960s. His is a name no longer well-known, even though he was continually on the radio and television waves regionally and nationally for more than a quarter century. In addition, he released twenty-three singles, twenty albums, and published four folios of songs: a multi-layered creative output unmatched by most of his contemporaries. Born David Stewart, he was the youngest son of Alex Stewart and Magdelena Fawns. They had emigrated from Scotland to Saskatchewan in 1909, homesteading on Twp. 13, Range 15, west of the 2nd Meridian.1 This was in the middle of the great Regina Plain, near the town of Francis.

In 1920 they moved into Regina where Alex found employment as a gardener, then as a teamster for the City of Regina Parks Board. The family moved frequently: city directories show them at 1400 Rae Street (1921), 1367 Lorne North (1923), 929 Edgar Street (1924-1929), 1202 Elliott Street (1933-1936), 1265 Scarth Street for the remainder of the 1930s, and 1178 Cameron Street through the war years.2 Through these moves the family kept a hand in farming, with a small farm 12 kilometres northwest of the city near the hamlet of Boggy Creek, a stone’s throw from the scenic Qu’Appelle Valley.

    FREEHOLD REGIONAL HIGH SCHOOL DISTRICT OFFICE OF CURRICULUM AND INSTRUCTION MUSIC DEPARTMENT APPRECIATION OF POPULAR MUSIC 1/2 Grade Level: 10-12 Credits: 2.5 each section BOARD OF EDUCATION ADOPTION DATE: AUGUST 30, 2010 SUPPORTING RESOURCES AVAILABLE IN DISTRICT RESOURCE SHARING APPENDIX A: ACCOMMODATIONS AND MODIFICATIONS APPENDIX B: ASSESSMENT EVIDENCE APPENDIX C: INTERDISCIPLINARY CONNECTIONS Course Philosophy “Musical training is a more potent instrument than any other, because rhythm, harmony, and melody find their way into the inward place of our soul, on which they mightily fasten, imparting grace, and making the soul of him who is educated graceful.” - Plato We believe our music curriculum should provide quality experiences that are musically meaningful to the education of all our students. It should help them discover, understand and enjoy music as an art form, an intellectual endeavor, a medium of self-expression, and a means of social growth. Music is considered basic to the total educational program. To each new generation this portion of our heritage is a source of inspiration, enjoyment, and knowledge which helps to shape a way of life. Our music curriculum enriches and maintains this life and draws on our nation and the world for its ever- expanding course content, taking the student beyond the realm of the ordinary, everyday experience. Music is an art that expresses emotion, indicates mood, and helps students to respond to their environment. It develops the student’s character through its emphasis on responsibility, self-discipline, leadership, concentration, and respect for and awareness of the contributions of others. Music contains technical, psychological, artistic, and academic concepts.
