After arriving in Paris, he worked for three months in order to be able to continue on his way to Spain and Morocco. From there, he set off towards the east. He crossed Algeria, Tunisia, Libya and Egypt on foot, went beyond the Aswan dam and over the desert to reach Sudan, where he got arrested by the authorities, because he did not have a visa. He spent three months in prison until the Ethiopian Ambassador in Khartoum heard about the Rastafari who wanted to go to Addis Ababa on foot and authorized him to enter Ethiopia.

  • Roman Ryterband: Life and Work
    Roman Ryterband: Life and Work 2014 PADEREWSKI LECTURE-RECITAL Polish Music Center INTRODUCTION The program of music by Roman Ryterband (1914-1979) presented by the Polish Music Center on the USC campus on 2 April 2016 celebrates the culmination of a long and truly satisfying collaboration with the composer’s widow, Clarissa Ryterband, his daughters, Astrid Ryterband and Diana Eisele, and their families, to assemble a great treasure trove of materials related to Roman Ryterband. This concert and the commemorative booklet herein officially mark the donation of the Ryterband Collection to the archives of the Polish Music Center, which celebrated its thirtieth anniversary of service in 2015. Besides disseminating information about Polish music worldwide and staging concerts on the USC campus and beyond, the Polish Music Center is a unique repository of manuscripts by leading Polish composers. The Manuscript Collection that began in 1984 with gifts from Stanisław Skrowaczewski and Witold Lutosławski now encompasses thousands of items representing the most important Polish composers of the twentieth century, including such exceptional figures as Zygmunt Stojowski, Henryk Wars (Henry Vars), Bronisław Kaper, and Ignacy Jan Paderewski. Each of these extraordinary collections represents a microcosm of a composer’s life and persona, often encompassing not only manuscripts, sketches and notes, but also personal and professional correspondence, memorabilia and countless personal items, photographs, and writings. Pieced together, this mosaic of elements offers a fascinating portrait of the artist, shedding much light on their activities, personal interests, family and friends, and historical context. This is particularly true of the Roman Ryterband Collection, which opens up new vistas and exciting possibilities for thorough research into this relatively little-known composer.

    • ~ J, . ~ ~ ~ J':'-_J_ ~.: ' ~- ;, ·1 ...,. ures PRESENTING THE WORLD OF MllSIC T he purµo~;e of this book is to introduce the reader to the world of music, the music of the v.rorld's cultures, emphasizing the diversity and the uniqueness of each. Directing ourselves to students- particularly those without a technical background- and to general readers, we want to give a sense of the character of 1nusic and musical life of all the world's peoples. Given that there are thousands of peoples, each with their own music, we can accomplish this only by careful , sampling and judicious synthesis-through crafting excursions in world music. These excursions take the form of eleven chapters, each of which is devoted to presenting a representative set of case ~tudies within a major culture area. Even s0, we have had to leave large areas untouched. In order to provide a degree of depth JS well as breadth, we have had to be , selective. Vie therefore work with c;1se studies that, taken together, will provide the reader a picture of the way the world's peoples make music, think about it, itC t 5 1 $5 • use it in their lives, and also what all this music sounds like and how it is struc­ tured. The world's musical diversity is reflected to some degree in the diversity of the organization of our chapters, but all chapters have commonalities. In each chapter, we first focus on a detailed description of a musical event that may be considered broadly representative of its culture area.
