  • Song of Songs Case SS Class Part 7
    Solomon and Sinatra: The Song of Songs and Romance in the Church Robert Case A Sunday School Class Faith Presbyterian Church Tacoma, Washington 2016 Part 7 Turning to an allegory from the American Songbook, I have two selections: “Ghost Riders in the Sky” "Ghost Riders in the Sky" is an allegorical song written in 1948 by the prolific Stan Jones. Members of the Western Writers of America chose it as the top western song of all time! Those of us from Ellensburg love this song. The song tells the allegorical folk tale of a lone cowboy who has a vision of “red-eyed, steel-hooved” cattle thundering across the sky, being chased by the spirits of Hell-bound cowboys. One cowboy warns our loner, like Dives in Luke 16:27, that “if he does not change his ways today,” he will be doomed to join them, forever "trying to catch the Devil's herd across these endless skies". The song lyrics also have a faint echo of Deuteronomy 33:26, “There is none like God, O Jeshurun, who rides through the heavens to your help, through the skies in his majesty.” I Kings 8:47, “if they turn their heart in the land to which they have been carried”; “Psalm 68:33, “to him who rides in the heavens, the ancient heavens; behold, he sends out his voice, his mighty voice.” and Psalm 7:12, “If he does not turn, [God] will whet his sword; he hath bent his bow, and made it ready.” Mr. Jones also wrote the music for the popular John Wayne western films The Horse Soldiers, The Searchers, Rio Grande and the television series Cheyenne, starring the Christian actor, Clint Walker.

  • Pioneers of the Concept Album
    Fancy Meeting You Here: Pioneers of the Concept Album Todd Decker Abstract: The introduction of the long-playing record in 1948 was the most aesthetically signi½cant tech- nological change in the century of the recorded music disc. The new format challenged record producers and recording artists of the 1950s to group sets of songs into marketable wholes and led to a ½rst generation of concept albums that predate more celebrated examples by rock bands from the 1960s. Two strategies used to unify concept albums in the 1950s stand out. The ½rst brought together performers unlikely to col- laborate in the world of live music making. The second strategy featured well-known singers in song- writer- or performer-centered albums of songs from the 1920s, 1930s, and 1940s recorded in contemporary musical styles. Recording artists discussed include Fred Astaire, Ella Fitzgerald, and Rosemary Clooney, among others. After setting the speed dial to 33 1/3, many Amer- icans christened their multiple-speed phonographs with the original cast album of Rodgers and Hammer - stein’s South Paci½c (1949) in the new long-playing record (lp) format. The South Paci½c cast album begins in dramatic fashion with the jagged leaps of the show tune “Bali Hai” arranged for the show’s large pit orchestra: suitable fanfare for the revolu- tion in popular music that followed the wide public adoption of the lp. Reportedly selling more than one million copies, the South Paci½c lp helped launch Columbia Records’ innovative new recorded music format, which, along with its longer playing TODD DECKER is an Associate time, also delivered better sound quality than the Professor of Musicology at Wash- 78s that had been the industry standard for the pre- ington University in St.

I began a tradition of featuring faculty soloists as well as winners of the annual student Concerto Competition, now with an award offered by Olivas Music, providing the orchestra the opportunity to perform significant concerto literature as well as learning the art of accompanying. In 2012, I developed a new chamber orchestra called the “UTEP Virtuosi” focusing on significant string orchestra repertoire. I initiated a concert featuring music in movies and for stage in which that music is presented and integrated via multimedia with lectures and video. It has become the capstone event for the year featuring the artistry of faculty soloists and comments per classical music used in movies and music composed exclusively for that medium. Each year six performances are scheduled. Repertoire for each year covers all eras and styles.

  • The Captain & Tennille's Most Comprehensive Major Label
    1 THE CAPTAIN & TENNILLE’S MOST COMPREHENSIVE MAJOR LABEL GREATEST HITS ALBUM LEADS OFF WITH “LOVE WILL KEEP US TOGETHER” The Captain & Tennille, Daryl Dragon and Toni Tennille, are one of the most successful duos in pop music history. But even more impressive than seven Top 10 hits, six of them gold, and five gold or platinum albums, or that their songs have become indelibly associated with the ‘70s, is that their music has enhanced more romantic liaisons since the summer of 1975 than just about any other artist. “Love Will Keep Us Together,” “Muskrat Love,” “The Way I Want To Touch You” and “Do That To Me One More Time” just may have put the X in Generation X. Yet those songs have not been brought together on a major label release since their gold 1977 Greatest Hits album. The Captain & Tennille: Ultimate Collection (Hip-O Records), released May 22, 2001, does that and more. With 22 digitally remastered selections, personal participation by The Captain & Tennille, and insightful liner notes, The Captain & Tennille: Ultimate Collection also marks their first multi-label anthology as well as their most comprehensive compilation. Their 1975 A&M debut was almost completed when they realized they needed another uptempo song and found “Love Will Keep Us Together” on a Neil Sedaka album. The song won the Grammy for Record Of The Year, hit #1 (also #1 Adult Contemporary) and went gold. When the Spanish language version, “Por Amor Viviremos,” also charted, it signaled the first time two versions of a #1 single charted in different languages by the same artist.

  • Feinstein Release Updated 9-16-10
    MICHAEL FEINSTEIN’S AMERICAN SONGBOOK PREMIERES THIS FALL ON PBS Three-Part Series Explores the History of American Popular Music Through the Performances and Adventures of Its Most Passionate Preservationist Airing October 6, 13, and 20, 2010 at 8 PM on PBS (Check local listings) NEW YORK – Premiering Wednesday, October 6 on PBS, the three-part series MICHAEL FEINSTEIN’S AMERICAN SONGBOOK, produced and directed by Amber Edwards of Hudson West Productions, embarks on a dynamic road trip through the glorious history of American song by the acclaimed musician and five-time Grammy®-nominated vocalist. Viewers accompany Feinstein on-stage and backstage, hear him interpret great standards, listen in on personal stories about the songwriters and entertainers he’s known and worked with over three decades, and join him on his quest to find and preserve rare treasures of classic American music. “When I first moved to Los Angeles,” Feinstein says in the show, “I discovered that movie studios would throw away archives, music publishers would get rid of old arrangements, manuscripts would be discarded, and complete orchestrations for shows would be tossed out. Our musical heritage was literally disappearing because people didn’t understand it was valuable to save it.” MICHAEL FEINSTEIN’S AMERICAN SONGBOOK chronicles Feinstein’s lifelong mission to keep the Great American Songbook alive, as he preserves and passes along the lyrics and melodies of songwriters like George and Ira Gershwin, Cole Porter, Irving Berlin, and Rodgers and Hart, all while performing more than 150 shows a year across the country. The series follows the meticulous musician as he rummages though cluttered basements and dusty attics, sifts through piles in packed storage lockers, and unearths obscure items in flea markets.

  • ANN HAMPTON CALLAWAY - Biography
    ANN HAMPTON CALLAWAY - Biography ANN HAMPTON CALLAWAY is one of the finest singer/songwriters of our generation. The statuesque performer dazzles music lovers as a singer, pianist, composer, lyricist, arranger, actress, and educator. Her talents have made her equally at home in jazz and pop as well as on stage, in the recording studio, on TV and in film. She is best known for starring in the hit Broadway musical "SWING!" and for writing and singing the theme to the internationally successful TV series,” THE NANNY". Ann is a devoted keeper-of-the-flame of the great American songbook. She brings fresh and original interpretations to these timeless classics and works to uphold the canon by writing songs with Cole Porter, Carole King, Barbara Carroll and others. Her spontaneity, intelligence, and soulful charisma have won her a diverse fan-base including notables as Barbra Streisand, Clive Davis, Carly Simon and Wynton Marsalis. The New York Times writes, “For sheer vocal beauty, no contemporary singer matches Ms. Callaway.” Ann attributes her voice and love of music to her mother, Shirley, who throughout her childhood sang and played torch songs, Gershwin and German lieder at the piano. Of the uniquely musical household she says, “I didn’t know it at the time, but we were sort of the Von Trapp family of Chicago.” After a music teacher discovered her unusually mature soprano voice, Ann was encouraged to study classically, honing the pitch-perfect control and expressive three octave range she is known for. While her voice teachers suggested she could have a career in opera, Ann eventually realized that she would be happier singing the music she most loved.
