  • Heritage Regimes and the State Universitätsverlag Göttingen Cultural Property, Volume 6 Ed
    hat happens when UNESCO heritage conventions are ratifi ed by a state? 6 WHow do UNESCO’s global efforts interact with preexisting local, regional and state efforts to conserve or promote culture? What new institutions emerge to address the mandate? The contributors to this volume focus on the work of translation and interpretation that ensues once heritage conventions are ratifi ed and implemented. With seventeen case studies from Europe, Africa, the Carib- bean and China, the volume provides comparative evidence for the divergent heritage regimes generated in states that differ in history and political orga- nization. The cases illustrate how UNESCO’s aspiration to honor and celebrate cultural diversity diversifi es itself. The very effort to adopt a global heritage regime forces myriad adaptations to particular state and interstate modalities of Heritage Regimes building and managing heritage. and the State ed. by Regina F.

  • The Harp in Jazz and American Pop Music Megan A. Bledsoe A
    The Harp in Jazz and American Pop Music Megan A. Bledsoe A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Musical Arts University of Washington 2012 Reading Committee: Donna Shin, Chair Valerie Muzzolini Gordon Áine Heneghan Program Authorized to Offer Degree: Harp Performance Bledsoe - DMA Harp Performance ©Copyright 2012 Megan A. Bledsoe 2 Bledsoe - DMA Harp Performance University of Washington Abstract The Harp in Jazz and American Pop Music Megan A. Bledsoe Chair of the Supervisory Committee: Assistant Professor of Flute Donna Shin, Chair Instrumental Performance, School of Music The harp has endured a tenuous relationship with the genres of jazz and American popular music throughout history. While a few harpists have enjoyed successful and significant careers in these fields, the harp is largely absent from mainstream jazz and American pop. The purpose of this dissertation is to ascertain a definitive cause for such exclusion and use this information to identify a feasible path toward further integration of the harp in jazz and American pop music. This paper examines the state of the harp in jazz and American pop from various angles, including historical perspective, analytical assessment, and a study which compares harpists’ improvisational abilities to those of their mainstream jazz instrumentalist counterparts. These evaluations yield an encompassing view of the harp’s specific advantages and detriments in the areas of jazz and American pop. The result of this research points to a need for specialization among harpists, particularly in defining new styles. It is evident that harpists’ careers generally necessitate a working knowledge of various styles of music.

  • Willis Conover, the Voice of America, and the International Reception of Avant-Garde Jazz in the 1960S
    “SOUNDS FOR ADVENTUROUS LISTENERS”: WILLIS CONOVER, THE VOICE OF AMERICA, AND THE INTERNATIONAL RECEPTION OF AVANT-GARDE JAZZ IN THE 1960S Mark A. Breckenridge, B.M., M.M., M.M.E. Dissertation Prepared for the Degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY UNIVERSITY OF NORTH TEXAS August 2012 APPROVED: John P. Murphy, Major Professor and Interim Director of Graduate Studies in Music Eileen M. Hayes, Minor Professor and Chair of the Division of Music History, Theory, and Ethnomusicology Mark McKnight, Committee Member Ana Alonso-Minutti, Committee Member James C. Scott, Dean of the College of Music Mark Wardell, Dean of the Toulouse Graduate School Breckenridge, Mark A., “Sounds for Adventurous Listeners”: Willis Conover, the Voice of America, and the International Reception of Avant-garde Jazz in the 1960s. Doctor of Philosophy (Musicology), August 2012, 315 pp., 27 figures, bibliography, 189 titles. In “Sounds for Adventurous Listeners,” I argue that Conover’s role in the dissemination of jazz through the Music USA Jazz Hour was more influential on an educational level than what literature on Conover currently provides. Chapter 2 begins with an examination of current studies regarding the role of jazz in Cold War diplomacy, the sociopolitical implications of avant-garde jazz and race, the convergence of fandom and propaganda, the promoter as facilitator of musical trends, and the influence of international radio during the Cold War. In chapter 3 I introduce the Friends of Music USA Newsletter and explain its function as a record of overseas jazz reception and a document that cohered a global network of fans. I then focus on avant-garde debates of the 1960s and discuss Conover’s role overseas and in the United States.
