SUMMARY:Happy Little Seahorses: Brahms’ Unwritten “Melusine” Opera
DESCRIPTION:In this AMS/Library of Congress Lecture\, Laurie McManus of Shenandoah Conservatory gives a talk on a little-known opera libretto that was given to Johannes Brahms for consideration. While Johannes Brahms excelled in many musical arenas\, he never managed to compose an opera\, despite a lingering interest and much encouragement from his friends. The most encouraging and persistent of those friends was Hermann Levi\, a Jewish conductor whose later advocacy for Richard Wagner has overshadowed his relationship with Brahms in the 1860s and early 70s. The Library of Congress holds extensive correspondence between Brahms and Levi\, including a drafted opera libretto that Levi sent to Brahms in a letter from July 1871. The libretto was a joint effort between Levi and a local mutual friend\, Anna Ettlinger\, a published author and women’s rights advocate. The libretto might be called a “hidden gem” of the Library’s Brahms collection\, given that it has never been transcribed or discussed in any substantial form in the Brahms literature—until now! \nThe event is free but tickets are required. \nTickets \n

SUMMARY:Science into Art: Discourses of Occult Vibration in Chicago’s Musical Culture
DESCRIPTION:Join Professors Anna Gawboy and Christopher Scheer at the University of Chicago as they discuss the fascinating ways that esoteric philosophies influenced Chicago musicians. \nAmong the many varied offerings that comprised Chicago’s Columbian Exposition of 1893 were myriad scientific exhibitions\, as well as the Parliament of World Religions\, which brought together spiritual leaders representing a wide spectrum of beliefs. The Parliament included members of the Theosophical Society\, an esoteric organization which sought to reconcile the growing divide between science and religion by treating both as corrupted branches of a universal ancient wisdom. \nOne concept which transcended these divisions at the time was vibration. At the exposition\, vibration could be seen and experienced everywhere through the electric current that powered the geysers and illuminated the amusements of White City\, as well as the novel inventions on display in the Electricity Building. At the same time\, participating Theosophists advocated a conception of reality that was founded on the fundamental presence and manipulation of spiritual vibrations. In many cases\, the language used to articulate scientific and spiritual meanings for vibration was shared\, reflecting the Theosophists’ appropriation of scientific discourse and the deployment of Theosophy’s vibrational metaphysics in explanations of natural forces by scientists such as Thomas Edison and Nikola Tesla. \nThis vocabulary of vibration was an important element in the musical culture of Chicago in the twentieth century and provides a framework to re-enchant its history. We will explore two overlapping but contrasting case studies: 1) the salon of Djane Lavoie Herz and the ultramodern musical experiments of her student\, Ruth Crawford Seeger; and 2) the relationship of Alton Abraham’s Thmei Research group to the performances and music of Sun Ra. In both cases\, the study of Theosophical texts and their discourses of vibration motivated musical experimentation\, revealing esotericism’s potential to inspire creativity in networks of Chicago musicians\, traversing divisions of style and genre\, science and religion\, and class and race. \nThis event will be held as part of the Many Musics of America Project. \nPre-Register \n

SUMMARY:“Vicariously Being There”: How The T.A.M.I. Show Invented the Concert Film
DESCRIPTION:Whether we’re watching Stop Making Sense for the 100th time\, catching The Eras Tour in a packed movie theater\, or tuning into Coachella live on YouTube\, today we take for granted that we can see live concerts recorded for screens big and small. But in the 1960s\, there was no set answer to the question of how to capture a concert on film\, or what to even do with such a product once it’s been made. \nIn 1964\, the concert film The T.A.M.I. Show gave young America a stunning answer\, showcasing on large movie screens an eclectic medley of performers including the Beach Boys\, the Rolling Stones\, the Supremes\, and an electrifying set by James Brown. The T.A.M.I. Show opened a path for more concert documentaries to be made and find their audiences\, but it was also a unique moment in American popular music history. Join Landon Palmer as he uncovers the curious story of The T.A.M.I. Show\, one that involves William Shakespeare\, strange television technologies\, and a very short-lived charity organization. In this talk\, he’ll explain how this movie came to exist and why there’s never been anything quite like it since. \nThis event will be held as part of the AMS Many Musics of America Project and the AMS/Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Lecture Series.

SUMMARY:Re-Animating the Sound Archive
DESCRIPTION:Over the past two decades\, Brian Harnetty has located historical recordings that document spoken words and musical performance in archives across Appalachia and the Midwest\, including the Berea Appalachian Sound Archives (Berea\, Kentucky)\, the Little Cities of Black Diamonds Archive (Shawnee\, Ohio)\, and the Thomas Merton Collection (Louisville\, Kentucky). In this talk\, Harnetty will discuss strategies by which people in the present relate to recorded sounds that document the past. Through listening with people who live today in the communities where the recordings were made\, Harnetty has helped these communities understand and respond to their histories. In this talk he explores themes from several recording\, performance\, and installation projects that embed old audio in new contexts\, playing illustrative examples from historic and present-day audio and video recordings. These projects document histories of extraction in Appalachia\, social and environmental justice concerns\, and contemplative practices. \nThis talk will be held in conjunction with Brian Harnetty’s residency as part of the Music Humanities Community Conversations Series at Appalachian State University.

SUMMARY:AMS New England Chapter Meeting
DESCRIPTION:The American Musicological Society\, New England Chapter\, announces its virtual meeting of Winter 2025\, to take place on February 22 via Zoom and hosted by Wesleyan University. The Program Committee invites proposals of up to 300 words for 20-minute papers and for roundtable sessions or workshops (pedagogical\, performative\, and/or scholarly). The keynote speaker will be Dr. John Dankwa (Wesleyan University)\, who specializes in African music\, with performance areas ranging from West African traditional drumming to African pop and art music. \nPapers focusing on global topics are especially encouraged–including\, but not limited to\, topics from any period or genre on historic and current non-AngloEuropean music\, interactions between AngloEuropean and non-AngloEuropean musical cultures\, globalization and colonization. All abstracts are subject to blind review\, and submissions from faculty\, independent scholars\, and students are encouraged and welcome. \nAbstracts should be submitted by December 30\, 2024 to the Program Committee through this Google form or at the following email: ams.newengland [at] gmail [dot] com. Submitters will be informed of the committee’s decision by January 27\, 2025\, with the hope of announcing the conference program on February 5\, 2025. \nPlease refer to the AMS guidelines for abstracts: “Proposals should represent the presentation as fully as possible. A successful proposal typically articulates the main aspects of the argument or research findings clearly\, positions the author’s contribution with respect to previous scholarship\, and suggests the paper’s significance for the musicological community\, in language that is accessible to scholars with a variety of specializations.” Applicants are requested to submit only one proposal per meeting\, and that the proposal not be currently under review for presentation at other conferences. In the case of a roundtable or workshop\, the same guidelines apply\, and the committee asks that the single proposal be for the session as a whole\, including information for all participants\, rather than individual proposals. \nFor more information\, please visit: https://www.newengland.ams-net.org/?p=1473

SUMMARY:AMS/LoC Lecture: Recovering the Extraordinary Life and Songs of Carrie Jacobs-Bond - Christopher Reynolds
DESCRIPTION:Carrie Jacobs-Bond (1861-1946) was the most successful songwriter – male or female – in the first half of the 20th century. Her most popular songs sold millions of copies of sheet music and records and were sung around the world\, translated into dozens of languages. Critics often thought of her music either as “semi-classical\,” as “high-class songs\,” or\, because so many millions of people sang her songs\, as folk music\, calling her a descendant of Stephen Foster. Americans sang her songs at weddings\, funerals\, and gatherings of all kinds\, usually by heart. She was also an early female entrepreneur\, founding her own music publishing house\, designing her early sheet music covers\, writing the lyrics to half of her nearly 200 songs. As a result she earned enough to build homes in Chicago\, in the hills north of San Diego\, and in Hollywood\, where she was one of the founding cultural figures. Before Mrs. Bond began to tour as a means of promoting her songs\, performing them to thousands of audiences over four decades\, there was no such thing as a woman singer-songwriter. And like popular folk and rock singer-songwriters in the 1960s and later\, she made no pretense of being a professional singer. Quite the contrary. \nA sure measure of Bond’s broad appeal: professional singers and performers of all musical styles embraced her songs. Many leading opera singers (e.g.\, Ernestine Schumann-Heink and Lawrence Tibbett) promoted them in their recitals\, in dozens of recordings\, and in testimonials. Vaudeville and Broadway musicians regularly performed her songs—Elsie Baker and Eubie Blake made early recordings; with the advent of national radio networks in the late 1920s\, popular musicians and swing band leaders increasingly arranged and recorded their versions. She was always among ASCAP’s top royalty earners. In 1938 her earnings of $10\,000 put her in an elite group with Irving Berlin\, Jerome Kern\, and George Gershwin’s estate. Yet while there are currently 19 biographies of Berlin (seven since 2000) and 18 of Gershwin (nine since 2000)\, there are no scholarly biographies of Mrs. Bond. \nJacobs-Bond’s life story and cultural significance\, like her songs\, are today mostly unknown. In this presentation\, Christopher Reynolds will examine what it is that made her such an extraordinarily significant figure\, and then discuss three of her songs that became central parts of American rituals: “I Love you Truly\,” at weddings\, “I’ve Done My Work\,” at funerals\, particularly those of Black Americans\, and “A Perfect Day\,” a song that was routinely sung to end public gatherings of all kinds\, a song favored above all others by WWI soldiers.

SUMMARY:AMS/LoC Lecture: Heard on the Small Screen: Music in Jack Arnold's and Henry Mancini's Episodes of Peter Gunn - Reba Wissner
DESCRIPTION:Best known for his science fiction films\, Jack Arnold also directed television episodes in different genres\, not only science fiction but also westerns\, comedies\, and detective shows.  Among all of his television works\, Peter Gunn provides an important example because this is the first television series that has an original score rather than library music for every episode (Withey\, 2001). This meant that the score would be composed specifically based on the rough cut of the episode\, considering the director’s choices. Before Peter Gunn\, television networks were required to have 13 original scores for a television season and any additional shows relied on music libraries to piece together cues for a complete score (Wissner\, 2013). Further\, the series was in a style of television noir (Glover\, 2019) that Arnold had to account for when directing and which series composer Henry Mancini had to consider when writing the score. Mancini  responded by composing a rock-jazz hybrid he deemed as West Coast Cool Jazz and this was the first television score to use jazz throughout\, pioneering a new style of television scoring in the late 1950s and early 1960s. One of the hallmarks of the series was that its music was inseparable from the show and often\, even its narrative\, and the show’s creator\, Blake Edwards\, noted that the series’ music was responsible for at least half of its success (Burlingame\, 2002). Much of the research on Arnold’s works concern his directorial practices and styles and the films themselves but there is little literature on his television episodes and virtually no literature on the music of these episodes. A discussion of the music in these episodes is important because the choice of music helps to heighten the directorial choices that Arnold made and understand how Mancini responded to those choices through his scores. \nAs a detective show\, which differed from much of Arnold’s other works\, Arnold had to fit the established parameters of the show when directing (he was called in to direct his first episode midway through the first season when Edwards had already established the series’ format). Similarly\, Mancini had to incorporate jazz\, which was pervasive in the detective genre in 1950s television\, with a consideration of each episode’s plot\, script\, and Arnold’s directing style. Mancini also established a unique compositional style for the series based on the onscreen action. In this lecture\, Reba Wissner will discuss how the composition of music amplifies Arnold’s directorial choices in his episodes of Peter Gunn (“The Hunt\,” “Vendetta\,” “Bullet for a Badge\,” “Love Me to Death\,” “Keep Smiling\,” and “The Ugly Frame”). Wissner will plot out Mancini’s compositional process as a reflection of Arnold’s directing choices by using Peter Gunn as a case study and elaborate on how this small scale study of Mancini’s music for the show under one director can be expanded to the other directors who worked on the series.
