'Strawberry Summer' ‘STRAWBERRY SUMMER’ In rural Fairland, California, a town famous for the world's best strawberries, Beth Landon visits her family’s farm to plan the annual Strawberry Festival with her doting mother, Eileen. Beth has been crowned the Strawberry Queen, but Eileen is dubious at Beth’s decision on the musical act—a troublemaking country singer named Jason Keith, who is notorious for canceling shows at the last minute. Beth reassures her mother before she heads to Dover High School, where Beth teaches a glee club who are excited to compete in the festival's talent contest. As the town prepares for the festival, Jason Keith rides into town with his frustrated manager Ray. Jason is upset he has to spend the whole week leading up to the concert in Fairland, but Ray explains he should be happy someone booked him at all. He hopes this will revitalize Jason's image, which has been in a slow decline due to his weak second album sales and concert no-shows. Jason wonders if maybe he was meant to be a one-hit-wonder with his first country tune, “Easy Heart,” but begrudgingly agrees to wait in town until the concert. Jason arrives at the Fairland Inn, where Beth, Eileen, and Eileen's two friends Mimi and Ruth--the official festival planning committee--are all waiting to eagerly welcome him. Jason is too cool, blowing them off. Beth, gathering her courage, approaches Jason to give him a schedule of events, and Jason scoffs, but something about her intrigues him. The next morning, as Beth and her team line up for the official ribbon-cutting ceremony on stage, Jason is late. Beth rushes to his hotel to see a groggy Jason just getting out of bed. Beth realizes this isn't going to be easy. To make matters worse, Ray has to leave for another business trip, putting Jason solely on Beth's watch. As Jason forces himself to play along with the town's ceremony, his sly flirtation with Beth becomes more obvious. Seeing their connection, Eileen enthusiastically invites Jason over for a home-cooked meal that night, and trapped, Jason accepts. Over dinner, as Eileen and her husband Jim try to make conversation with Jason, his wry remarks about his failing career make everyone uncomfortable. At the festival the next day, a reporter from the local news arrives and begins to ask Jason prying questions about his tanking reputation. Jason gets angry and stomps off, leaving Beth to deal with the baffled crowd and reporter. Fed up with Jason’s attitude, Beth tells him to shape up or leave town. Jason is surprised she is so forward, but, as a spoiled star, feigns indifference. But that afternoon, he surprises her when he shows up early to judge the strawberry recipe contest. When he has an allergic reaction to the strawberries, Beth helps him recover and the two finally begin to open up to each other. At the bar that night, Jason is drinking alone when Roxanne, a brash brunette who has a long-standing feud with Beth stemming from high school, sidles up to him. As she hits on him, she mentions Beth's failed attempt at a singing career in Los Angeles. Jason is intrigued, but realizes Roxanne is trying to stir something up and resists her advances. Remembering Jason mentioned he grew up in Tennessee on a horse farm, Beth suggests he do his photo shoot on her farm. He is hesitant and soon Beth finds out why--Jason only lived in Tennessee until age 2, soon relocating to Manhattan. Feeling duped, she decides to have a little fun with his lie, and at the photo shoot, she asks him to make it more authentic by getting on a horse. As he rides, he is thrown off the horse and Beth can only laugh as she helps him up, her lesson taught. As they talk later, Beth learns Jason is conflicted by the identity he has created for himself as a country boy. He tries to play it up to his fans to keep his career afloat. Beth feels for Jason, and offers to help him learn how to ride a horse if he’ll meet her glee club. The glee club is excited to hear Jason’s advice, but when Jason admits he doesn't write his songs, he is embarrassed. Despite the embarrassment, Jason agrees to help Beth rewrite the lyrics to "When the Saints Go Marching In" for the club to perform at the festival. Against his own will, Jason is starting to like Fairland, and Beth, and is newly inspired to write his own music. Jason decides if the kids win the talent show, he'll let them sing with him at his concert. Happy to be spending so much time with Beth, Jason asks her to dinner, where he mentions her singing days in Los Angeles, and encourages her to keep trying, just as she urges him to write his own song. They stroll through the festival grounds, where they run into Roxanne who enviously notices the sparks between them. At the end of the night, Jason walks Beth home where he thanks her for bringing him to town, and kisses her. Jason begins writing his own tune, but when news gets out to Ray that he is planning on singing it at his concert--with the glee club--Ray calls Jason to put a stop to it immediately. Meanwhile, inspired by Jason's songwriting and his new change in attitude, Beth decides to audition for a musical but leaves in tears, thinking she did a horrible job. To make matters worse, that evening at the festival, Beth witnesses Roxanne corner Jason in an unwanted lip lock. As she storms away, Beth admits Roxanne isn't the only thing bothering her, and tells Jason about the audition. As he comforts her, he also confesses Ray doesn’t want him to sing with the glee club. Beth is even more upset, and very disappointed in him. Beth breaks the news to her glee club that night at rehearsal, while Jason heads to a bar to drown his sorrows. On his way out, Roxanne approaches, cornering him in an incriminating grasp, witnessed by Beth’s best friend. When Beth returns home, she finds Jason waiting for her on her steps, eager to explain. He apologizes for always running away, and admits he feels like a failure--he can't write his own songs, he can't keep a relationship, and he couldn't face the glee club to break the news himself. Beth pushes past him. In the morning, Beth is in low spirits. She tries to forget Jason--until she finds out Roxanne spotted Jason driving out of town that morning. Beth is distraught; if Jason misses the concert and disappoints the town, it will be all her fault. She finds him at a scenic overlook with his guitar, still struggling to find the lyrics to an original song. Beth urges him to come clean to his fans about his real background as a New Yorker, and hopes he won’t leave Fairland without performing the concert. When she heads to the high school for glee club rehearsal, she is shocked to see Jason there, ready to turn things around. Then, Ray returns to make sure Jason doesn’t sing his new song, and Jason is angry—he cares about the people in town and doesn't want to disappoint the glee club. He spends all night finishing his song. Before the talent show the next day, Beth learns she got the part in the musical and is ecstatic. At the festival, the glee club wins the talent show with Jason’s reworked lyrics. Jason prepares to sing his new song, and Ray warns him if he takes that risk, he'll quit as his manager. Challenged, Jason takes the stage and dedicates his original song to Beth. While Ray fumes in the wings, Jason brings the glee club on stage, and even invites Beth on stage to sing the last chorus with him, to a roaring crowd’s approval. After the concert, Beth and Jason celebrate and Ray apologizes for not believing in Jason. He hopes Jason will keep him on as his manager, before heading out on a date with his new love interest—Roxanne! Beth and Jason realize they are meant to be more than just friends, deciding to be a duet long term as an official couple. .

    THINKING IN SONG Prosody, Text-Setting and Music Theory in Eighteenth-Century Germany A Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Cornell University in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Martin Kuester January 2012 © 2012 Martin Kuester THINKING IN SONG Prosody, Text-Setting and Music Theory in Eighteenth-Century Germany Martin Kuester, Ph.D. Cornell University 2012 Eighteenth-century music theorists habitually used terms that were apparently im- ported from grammar, rhetoric and poetics. While historians of music theory have commonly described these words as reflecting metaphorical attempts to understand music by analogy with language, this study emphasizes their technical value, especially with respect to vocal music, which includes both domains. In the case of Johann Mat- theson, Johann Adolph Scheibe, Joseph Riepel and Friedrich Wilhelm Marpurg, the literal meaning of this common vocabulary can be recovered by viewing their general composition rules���������������������� in the previously une�amined������������ conte��������������������������������t of their theories for compos- ing te�t and music of vocal works. Chapter One questions the applicability of a ‘metaphor of music as a language’ to eighteenth-century musical thought and proposes a new framework, centered on what Scheibe and others considered �����������������������������������������������the origin of both music and language, prosody. Chapter Two e�amines Mattheson’s famous minuet analysis and concludes that a prosodic sub-discipline of music theory provided a vocabulary that applied, in ten- dency, to words and notes of vocal music, simultaneously. Chapter Three traces the interaction of prosodic parameters in the longer history of ‘musical feet,’ pointing out eighteenth-century theorists’ successful efforts to adapt or re-adapt their terminol- ogy to the practice of modern vocal composition.

  • History of Barbershop
    HISTORY OF BARBERSHOP By David Krause and David Wright Definition of barbershop harmony. Read: Definition of Barbershop Harmony, from the Forward of the Contest and Judging Handbook. The Purpose Of This Course. We will attempt to trace the roots and the evolution of barbershop harmony from well before its actual beginnings up to the present. We will try to answer these questions: What were the tides of history which spawned the birth of the barbershop quartet, and what environment allowed this style of music to flourish? What were its musical forerunners? What are its defining characteristics? What other types of music were fostered contemporaneously, and how did they influence the growth of quartet singing? Which styles are similar, and how are they similar? How did the term "barbershop" arise? How long did the historical era of the barbershop quartet last? What other kinds of music sprang forth from it? Why did the style eventually need preservation? How was SPEBSQSA formed, and how did it become a national movement? What other organizations have joined the cause? How have they coped with the task of preservation? Are current day efforts still on course in preserving the style? How has the style changed since the Society was formed? We will spend the next few hours contemplating and attempting to answer these questions. Overtones. As barbershoppers, we are very conscious of the "ringing" effect which complements our singing. We consider it our reward for singing well- defined pitches in tune. The fact that a tone produced by a voice or an instrument is accompanied by a whole series of pitches in addition to the fundamental one which our ear most easily detects has been known for centuries.

  • Sounding Sentimental: American Popular Song from Nineteenth-Century Ballads to 1970S Soft Rock Emily Margot Gale Vancouver, BC B
    Sounding Sentimental: American Popular Song From Nineteenth-Century Ballads to 1970s Soft Rock Emily Margot Gale Vancouver, BC Bachelor of Music, University of Ottawa, 2005 Master of Arts, Music Theory, University of Western Ontario, 2007 A Dissertation presented to the Graduate Faculty of the University of Virginia in Candidacy for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Music University of Virginia May, 2014 © Copyright by Emily Margot Gale All Rights Reserved May 2014 For Ma with love iv ABSTRACT My dissertation examines the relationship between American popular song and “sentimentality.” While eighteenth-century discussions of sentimentality took it as a positive attribute in which feelings, “refined or elevated,” motivated the actions or dispositions of people, later texts often describe it pejoratively, as an “indulgence in superficial emotion.” This has led an entire corpus of nineteenth- and twentieth-century cultural production to be bracketed as “schmaltz” and derided as irrelevant by the academy. Their critics notwithstanding, sentimental songs have remained at the forefront of popular music production in the United States, where, as my project demonstrates, they have provided some of the country’s most visible and challenging constructions of race, class, gender, sexuality, nationality, and morality. My project recovers the centrality of sentimentalism to American popular music and culture and rethinks our understandings of the relationships between music and the public sphere. In doing so, I add the dimension of sound to the extant discourse of sentimentalism, explore a longer history of popular music in the United States than is typical of most narratives within popular music studies, and offer a critical examination of music that—though wildly successful in its own day—has been all but ignored by scholars.

  • Thomas Carl Slattery-The Wind Music of Percy Aldridge Grainger Ann Arbor: University Microfilms (UM Order No
    Thomas Carl Slattery-The Wind Music of Percy Aldridge Grainger Ann Arbor: University Microfilms (UM order no. 67-9104, 1967. 265 pp., The University ofIowa diss.) David S. Josephson [Ed. Note,' This is the second in a series of writings conceived by Prof. Josephson as an essay in bibliography, seeking to provide the foundation for a thorough and broadly-based study of the life and music of Percy Grainger. The first essay, "Percy Grainger: Country Gardens and Other Curses," can be found in Current Musicology 15 (1973): 56-63.] Percy Grainger composed and arranged music for winds from virtually the beginning to the end of his creative life. The fruits of these labors are the subject, at first glance, of the dissertation under review. In fact, however, Thomas Slattery's thesis is more than a study of the wind music: in both scope and length it is the first major attempt to deal with Grainger's life and work. The wind music provides an apt vehicle, for its remarkable range of idiom, genre, and intention allows us to explore the gamut of Grainger's productive life from almost every angle; the finest exemplars of this repertory reveal most immediately his striking ear and fastidious craftsmanship. In- deed, Grainger's largest essay for winds, Lincolnshire Posy, is a handbook of band orchestration and arguably the most idiomatic and sensitive composi- tion ever written for large wind ensemble. The table of contents reveals both the scale of Dr. Slattery's investigation and its cogent organization. The six chapters include an extended biblio- graphical summary; music for wind band; the chamber music for, with, and arranged for winds; Grainger's wind scoring; his innovations; and a sum- mary of sources.

As a performer and musician, his resume is so complete that there is a tendency to sit back and marvel at it: virtuoso player, sonic innovator, hit songwriter, wild stage performer, outrageous dresser, sex symbol, and even sensitive guy. But there is also a tendency, possibly because of his overwhelming image, to fail to dig deeper into the music, as Rob Van der Bliek has pointed out.1 In this study, we will look at Hendrix’s music, his performance practice, and its relationship to the mythology that has grown up around him.

  • The Music of Gender in Shakespeare's
    “HERE I AM … YET CANNOT HOLD THIS VISIBLE SHAPE”: THE MUSIC OF GENDER IN SHAKESPEARE’S TWELFTH NIGHT by Marcus Cheng Chye Tan THE ELUSIVE NATURE OF TWELFTH NIGHT Taken as Shakespeare’s farewell to romantic comedy and written around the same time as Hamlet, Twelfth Night presents a high comedy of elusive complexity that preempts the problem plays. Contesting a “universal consent [that] the very height of gay comedy is attained in Twelfth Night,”1 modern critics note that Twelfth Night possesses “darker” features of the problem plays but, as C. L. Barber suggests in Shakespeare’s Festive Comedy, the play manages to restore the festive through its comic resolution,2 affirming what Jonathan Dollimore terms “the telos of harmonic integration.”3 Elements of “dark tragedy” constantly complicate the “sunny iden- tity of spirit.”4 The gulling of Malvolio is often seen by modern sensibilities as an excessively cruel prank passing into the domain of sadism. The latter’s ignored plea for help while locked in the dark room, exacerbated by Feste’s cruel taunting, becomes a comic joke that proves excessive for the audience.5 In addition, Orsino’s unsettling “murderous” rage and Viola’s swooning acceptance of a love death cause the play to “walk the edge of violence”6 till the arrival of Sebas- tian in Act V. Malvolio’s unresolved vow of vengeance (V.i.376),7 sworn after the union of the lovers, threatens a newly established har- mony, prompting the audience to speculate on his possible return, which could turn comedy into tragedy.
