Dear Nancy: It was so pleasant to chat with you a few days ago. Enclosed you will find information on Rita R eichmari who was and is considered a true genius as a child pianist and composer. Rita started composing at the age of 3 and has over 85 compo­ sitions to her credit. //' I heard about Rita when she was aged 9 and brought her and her family to the United States from Australia. · At that time I was Vice Chairman of the Board of Trustees of the Interlochen Arts Academy and the National Music Camp at Interlachen, Michlgan. For the last few years, I have been Chairman of the Board. Rita and her family stayed at the Interlachen Arts Academy and went as far as we felt we could take her in music. She was accepted at Curtis Institute. Rudolf Serkin, himself, is her instructor. She is now 17 years of age. She has appeared as a guest artist, under Eugene Ormandy, with the Philadelphia Symphony Orchestra and has also appeared as a guest artist with the Detroit Symphony Orchestra. After the election in 1968. in an effort to bring unity in the republican party here in Illinois, I gave a Republican Victory Dinner at the Sheraton-Blackstone Hotel for Mr. and Mrs. Nixon. When Mrs. Stone and I visited the Nixon's for dinner at Casa Pacifica a short time ago. Mr. Nixon, in reminiscing, referred to that delightful evening at which Rita Reichman was our guest artist. During his presidency. Mr. Nixon invited Rita to give a~~-fy performance at the White House which she did. #"'It~ l -. ~ U11£- .J <, ,.., 0 ~ '!!.) .."' ,., ~ "~__..; Ms. Nancy Ruwe Page Two AprU 26, 1975 Rudolf Serkin feels that Rita is too young to go the professional route yet, but he has recommended that she give 4 appearances this year.

  • 1 I. Introduction the Worldwide Anglican Communion Is a Collection
    I. Introduction The worldwide Anglican Communion is a collection of National Churches with historical roots in the Church of England and in union with the Archbishop of Canterbury. Anglicanism is often defined by a number of characteristics that compose a type of “Anglican ethos” or fundamental character.1 One of the most notable characteristics is the rich musical tradition. In his history of the development of this ethos, the Anglican cleric Frederick Quinn stated that "music remained one of the major contributors to creating a distinctly Anglican ethos" into the twentieth century.2 This is not a tradition of music that evolved in a linear way, but as Quinn says, “more like tracing the strands of a tapestry.”3 The Church of England experienced a great revival of sacred music from the mid nineteenth century forward. Choral establishments were bolstered, musical standards raised, and new compositions enriched Anglican liturgies with beauty, especially in the great Cathedrals and Collegiate Chapels and Churches. Composers such as Stanford, Vaughan-Williams, Britten, and Howells wrote music that has endured in Anglicanism and beyond. During this same period in the United Sates, the Protestant Episcopal Church which is the American branch of the Anglican Communion, also experienced a building and development of programs at many churches including St. Thomas and St. John the Divine in New York City, Grace Cathedral in San Francisco, and the National Cathedral in Washington DC. These Anglican musical establishments were firmly rooted in the musical patrimony they inherited from the Church of England. However, they were no mere slavish copies of British choral 1 Frederick Quinn, To be a Pilgrim: The Anglican Ethos in History (New York: Crossroad, 2001), 3.

  • Letters Shed New Light on Bernstein Era by Mark Horowitz
    News for Friends of Leonard Bernstein Fall/ Winter 2011/2012 Letters Shed New Light on Bernstein Era by Mark Horowitz lmost as soon as the bulk of the Leonard Bernstein Collection began arriving in the Music Division at the Library of Congress Ain 1993, the collection became among our most heavily used. Estimated to contain close to 400,000 items, we believe it to be the Music Division’s largest collection of the papers of an individual (as opposed to a music publisher or an organization such as the Federal Theater Project). One of the things that makes the collection so useful and important is its breadth and range. Bernstein’s meteoric success starting at such a young age, quickly followed by his hiring of Helen Coates as a secretary and assistant, with her talents as a meticulous archivist and keeper of the flame, makes the collection one of rare completeness. And because the substance comes from Bernstein himself—through a life filled with creativity, passion, events and interests that extended widely in music, the arts, culture, politics, family, friendships, and social causes—the subjects reflected in the collection are as wide-ranging as the man. While one might assume that the music manuscripts form the heart of the collection—and they are certainly a treasured and oft-consulted part—it turns out that many of the other series have become the focus of much interest and research. Among those series are photographs, scrapbooks, business papers, fan mail, writings, and the personal correspondence. It’s that correspondence I want to focus on here.
