Of Verdi’s Don Carlos, Opera News wrote, “Th e Lyric Opera Chorus under David Feltner sang splendidly.” Th e same publication commented on the pro- duction of Tod Machover’s Resurrection: “…the chorus, under David Feltner, proved fully up to the challenge of the complex meters and rich, kaleidoscopic colors of Machover’s score.” Following his Jordan Hall debut, he was invited to serve as Cover Conduc- tor for Keith Lockhart and the Boston Pops. He has also served as Cover Con- ductor for Larry Rachleff and the Rhode Island Philharmonic and has been Guest Conductor for Intermezzo: Th e New England Chamber Opera Series, conducting Lee Hoiby’s opera, Th e Scarf.

  • PERFORMED IDENTITIES: HEAVY METAL MUSICIANS BETWEEN 1984 and 1991 Bradley C. Klypchak a Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate
    PERFORMED IDENTITIES: HEAVY METAL MUSICIANS BETWEEN 1984 AND 1991 Bradley C. Klypchak A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY May 2007 Committee: Dr. Jeffrey A. Brown, Advisor Dr. John Makay Graduate Faculty Representative Dr. Ron E. Shields Dr. Don McQuarie © 2007 Bradley C. Klypchak All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Dr. Jeffrey A. Brown, Advisor Between 1984 and 1991, heavy metal became one of the most publicly popular and commercially successful rock music subgenres. The focus of this dissertation is to explore the following research questions: How did the subculture of heavy metal music between 1984 and 1991 evolve and what meanings can be derived from this ongoing process? How did the contextual circumstances surrounding heavy metal music during this period impact the performative choices exhibited by artists, and from a position of retrospection, what lasting significance does this particular era of heavy metal merit today? A textual analysis of metal- related materials fostered the development of themes relating to the selective choices made and performances enacted by metal artists. These themes were then considered in terms of gender, sexuality, race, and age constructions as well as the ongoing negotiations of the metal artist within multiple performative realms. Occurring at the juncture of art and commerce, heavy metal music is a purposeful construction. Metal musicians made performative choices for serving particular aims, be it fame, wealth, or art. These same individuals worked within a greater system of influence. Metal bands were the contracted employees of record labels whose own corporate aims needed to be recognized.

  • CIM's First Artistic Director Was Ernest Bloch, a Swiss Composer and Teacher Who Came to Cleveland from New York City
    BLOCH, ERNEST (24 July 1880-15 July 1959), was an internationally known composer, conductor, and teacher recruited to found and direct the CLEVELAND INSTITUTE OF MUSIC in 1920. Bloch was born in Geneva, Switzerland. The son of Sophie (Brunschwig) and Maurice (Meyer) Bloch, a Jewish merchant, Bloch showed musical talent early and determined that he would become a composer. His teen years were marked by important study with violin and composition masters in various European cities. Between 1904 and 1916, he juggled business responsibilities with composing and conducting. In 1916 Bloch accepted a job as conductor for dancer Maud Allen's American tour. The tour collapsed after 6 weeks, but performances of his works in New York and Boston led to teaching positions in New York City. During the Cleveland years (1920-25), Bloch completed 21 works, among them the popular Concerto Grosso, which was composed for the students' orchestra at the Cleveland Institute of Music. His contributions included an institute chorus at the CLEVELAND MUSEUM OF ART, attention to pedagogy especially in composition and theory, and a concern that every student should have a direct and high-quality aesthetic experience. He taught several classes himself. After disagreements with Cleveland Institute of Music policymakers, he moved to the directorship of the San Francisco Conservatory. Following some years studying in Europe, Bloch returned to the U.S. in 1939 to teach at the Univ. of Calif.-Berkeley. He retired in 1941. His students over the years included composers Roger Sessions and HERBERT ELWELL. Bloch composed over 100 works for a variety of individual instruments and ensemble sizes and won over a dozen prestigious awards.

  • Revolution Or Repetition: Woodstock's Romanticism
    Introduction Countercultures Ideologies and Practices Alternative Visions REVOLUTION OR REPETITION: WOODSTOCK’S ROMANTICISM Maarten Doorman If we try to understand global history by pointing to revolutionary moments we would probably mention 2001, 1989, and 1968 as the most striking years in the postwar Western world. And if we discuss utopian thought and the quest for “alternative realities,” the year 1968 comes to the fore, more than the years 1989and 2001,which might be seen as more important turning points in political history.1 As the writer Mark Kurlansky puts it in his book 1968:The Year That Rocked the World: “There has never been a year like 1968[…]. At a time when nations and cultures were still separate and very diff erent — and in 1968 Poland, France, the United States, and Mexico were far more diff erent from one another than they are today — there occurred a spontaneous combustion of rebellious spirits around the world.”2 Even for historians less focused on specifi c years than journalists and writers like Kurlansky it seems hard to deny that the late 1960s are oft en regarded as the most revolutionary years of the postwar period. However, if we take a closer look at the changes of that time, the question emerges in how far the cultural revolution of those days represented a shift in cultural values that was completely new. So in Footsteps: Adventures of a Romantic Biographer (1985),Richard Holmes describes how he tuned in to Radio Luxembourg in the spring of 1968and heard a live report on the storming of the Bourse in Paris: crowds shouting, the crack of tear-gas grenades, breaking glass, and cheers.

(John T. Greilick/The Detroit News) Pontiac After nearly six hours of mediation Tuesday, the Detroit-based rock band The Romantics reached an agreement with a former bandmate, averting an Oakland County Circuit Wally Palmarlead singer of The Romantics, belts out an old classic during the Charity Preview at the 2010 North American International Court trial scheduled to begin this week that would Auto Show at Cobo Center. have opened up tax and business records, personal bankruptcy and, perhaps, the seamier side of the recording industry. The Romantics, who performed in Detroit this summer, have recorded five albums and had a string of international hits in the 1980s fans still dance to today, including What I Like About You and Talking In Your Sleep. George Coz Canler, a former lead guitarist with the band from 1980 to 2011, sued two years ago, claiming he was cheated out of royalties from recordings that went to Master Beat, an entity created by the band to share profits. Band members countered saying Canler, who lives in Florida, was not entitled to monies from songs he neither wrote nor performed on, including What I Like About You, recorded in 1979. In an agreement put Tuesday before Judge Wendy Potts, in exchange for Canler relinquishing a 25 percent share in Master Beat, he will be paid $50,000 within 14 days and $20,000 annually for the next four years for a total of $130,000.
