  • PROGRAM NOTES Disney in Concert: Around the World Quincy Symphony Orchestra September 29, 2019 Quincy, IL Notes by Dr
    PROGRAM NOTES Disney in Concert: Around the World Quincy Symphony Orchestra September 29, 2019 Quincy, IL Notes by Dr. Paul Borg We begin our season with a generous offering of music from the films of the Walt Disney Company [Walt Disney Productions until 1986]. When Walt Disney died in 1966, the corporation continued his inspired and successful animated-film output. Although not all of nearly 200 animations, live-action films, television series, documentaries, or videos are equally memorable, everyone today has heard many of the songs associated with the films, whether from viewing the films, listening to recordings, or in live concerts such as this one. In the late 1920s and 30s films had newly been furnished with recorded sound, giving motion pictures real-time spoken dialogue among the characters as well as music that could entertain with songs embedded in the storyline. Music could also be employed to enhance or evoke a particular emotion--think the spooky two-note shark approach in Jaws or the "screeching" of the knife in the shower scene of Psycho. Walt Disney and his brother Roy extended these sound element to animated cartoons, short at first (Steamboat Willie) and eventually feature length (Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs). Disney's intent to continue a series of fairy tale animations was interrupted by the Second World War, during which he and his collaborators produced a series of training and propaganda films, even using Donald Duck in some comical short sketches. After the war, Disney turned his vision to television and then his entertainment parks, starting with Disneyland in 1955.

  • Andrew Lloyd Webber's Musicals
    MASARYK UNIVERSITY Faculty of Education Department of English Language and Literature ANDREW LLOYD WEBBER’S MUSICALS Diploma Thesis Brno 2009 Radka Adamová Supervisor: Mgr. Lucie Podroužková, PhD. 1 BIBLIOGRAPHICAL ENTRY Adamová, Radka. Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Musicals Brno: Masaryk University, Faculty of Education, Department of English Language and Literature, 2007. Diploma thesis supervisor Mgr. Lucie Podroužková, Ph. D. ANNOTATION This diploma thesis deals with British musical composer Andrew Lloyd Webber and his works. The first part of the thesis introduces Lloyd Webber’s biography, his close collaborators as well as his production company the Really Useful Group and description of all his works. The main part of the thesis is aimed at his musicals Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat and Jesus Christ Superstar , rather their origin and development, the main plot and their main characters that have many things in common. Both these musicals are based on topics from the Bible. The thesis also deals with the librettos and their translation into Czech. ANOTACE Diplomová práce se zabývá britským hudebním skladatelem Andrew Lloyd Webberem a jeho díly. První část práce seznamuje s Lloyd Webberovým životopisem, jeho blízkými spolupracovníky, stejně jako s jeho produkční společností Really Useful Group a popisem všech jeho děl. Hlavní část práce je zaměřena na muzikály Josef a jeho úžasný pestrobarevný plášť a Jesus Christ Superstar , přesněji řečeno jejich vznik a vývoj, hlavní dějovou linii a jejich hlavní postavy, které mají mnoho společného. Oba tyto muzikály jsou založeny na příbězích z Bible. Práce se také zabýva librety obou muzikálů a jejich překladem do češtiny. 2 I declare that I have worked on this thesis on my own and used only the sources listed in the Bibliography.

  • No Oscar for the Oscar? Behind Hollywood's Walk of Greed
    Networking Knowledge 7(4) All About Oscar No Oscar for the Oscar? Behind Hollywood’s Walk of Greed ELIZABETH CASTALDO LUNDEN, Stockholm University ABSTRACT In 1966 the popular interest in the Academy Awards propelled Paramount Pictures to produce The Oscar (Embassy Pictures-Paramount Pictures, 1966), a film based on the homonymous novel by Richard Sale. The Oscar tells the story of an unscrupulous actor willing to do anything in his power to obtain the golden statuette, regardless of whom he has to take down along the way. Building up on fantasies of social mobility, we see the protagonist (Frankie) display his vanity, arrogance and greed to create a less than likeable character whose only hope to put his career back on track lies in obtaining the precious statuette. The movie intends to be a sneak peek behind the scenes of the biggest award ceremony, but also behind the lifestyle of the Hollywood elites, their glory and their misery as part of the Hollywood disposal machinery. Despite not being financed or officially supported by the Academy, the film intertwines elements of fiction and reality by using real footage of the event, and featuring several contemporary representatives of the movie industry such as Edith Head, Hedda Hopper, Frank and Nancy Sinatra, playing cameo roles, adding up to the inter- textual capacities of the story. Head’s participation was particularly exploited for the promotion of the film, taking advantage of her position at Paramount, her status as a multiple winner, and her role as a fashion consultant for the Academy Awards. This paper is an analytical account of the film’s production process.

By BARRY SINGER Correction Appended NAME the most important lyric writers of the past half-century. Stephen Sondheim, without question; the lyricist who single-handedly deepened the American song tradition with penetrating verbal invention and an enlivening dose of psychological complexity. But also Bob Dylan, Paul Simon and Joni Mitchell, folk balladeers who infused lyric writing with the imagery and confessional aspect of modernist poetry. Their innovations created an entirely new tradition, or perhaps antitradition -- that of the self-absorbed singer-songwriter for whom, in the name of personal expression, all lyric-writing rules could be broken. It's a tradition that still dominates, having produced hordes of disciples, including many truly gifted lyricists, ranging from Bruce Springsteen and Lou Reed to Smokey Robinson, Stevie Wonder and Billy Joel, from Elvis Costello and Tom Waits to Beck, Rufus Wainwright and Fiona Apple. Increasingly, though, to write in the classic, urbane style of Hart, Gershwin, Berlin, Porter and Sondheim is to discourse in a dead language. Their notion of lyric writing as a craft, a verbal equivalent of melodic composition, grounded in wit and elegant wordplay, is today so thoroughly antiquated that one can barely find a context for it.
