Dominique-René de Lerma: János Starker Among First To Give Attention to Non-Jazz Works of David N. Baker

János Starker


Dominique-René de Lerma:
When Bill McGlaughlin was preparing this week's dedication to the cello for Exploring music, he would not have known that the first program would be aired only a day after the death of one of his featured artists: János Starker.  This superb musician is our immediate concern because he was among the first of the major classical artists to give his attention to the non-jazz works of David Baker.  That was Dave's cello sonata, which Janós not only recorded on Columbia's 9-LP set of the Black composers series (now available only from the College Music Society), but included it on his recitals.  Dave's work soon won the attention of flutist James Pellerite and violinist Josef Gingold.  Some of the non-jazz audience was a bit slower to respond: I remember the première of Dave's concerto for violin and jazz band, with Joe as the soloist.  That fact brought out all of Joe's many fans, but some of those who did not wait in the lobby for Joe's performance in the concert's second half, came in for the start of the concert, which was pure jazz.  These mouldy figs endured the repertoire as tolerantly as possible, but these events marked an inception of those works that showed Dave's assertion of stylistic freedom.  We thank Janós, Joe, and Jim for their pioneering work and support.

Duke Ellington, Born April 29, 1899, Jazz and Classical Composer and Bandleader Whose Music Has Never Left Us



Duke Ellington

Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra

Naxos 8.559737 (2013)


The Naxos American Classics series is an exceptional undertaking by the world's best-selling classical music label.  Today we celebrate the birth of the All-American jazz and classical composer, pianist and bandleader Edward Kennedy "Duke" Ellington on April 29, 1899.  He passed away in 1974, nearly four decades ago, but the stream of new recordings of his works flows unabated.

The Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra's new disc is particularly meaningful to us. Duke Ellington is featured as a Composer of African Descent at AfriClassical.com because of two works on the Naxos CD, Harlem (14:27) and Suite from 'The River' (21:04). Both were recorded on the Chandos label in 1993 by the Detroit Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Neeme Järvi.  Those two works confirmed for us that Duke Ellington had been a classical composer long before a recording of either composition became commercially available.

Browsing through AfriClassical posts of recent months, we found these recent examples of the continuing musical legacy of Duke Ellington:

The Single Petal of a Rose (1959) Edward Kennedy “Duke” Ellington (1899-1974)
The Single Petal of a Rose was the end result of a collaboration between Ellington and the late Billy Strayhorn, acclaimed composer, arranger, and pianist. It was specifically designated as a lyrical ballad for solo piano within a larger work, The Queen's Suite, which was written for and dedicated to Queen Elizabeth II of England.

His life and works are honored on the Akin Euba page at AfriClassical.com, which features a Works List and Bibliography by Prof. Dominique-René de Lerma, http://www.CasaMusicaledeLerma.comProf. Euba's retirement celebration took place on March 15, 2011. Phil Thomson of the University of Pittsburgh posted a blog tribute on April 18, 2011. Here is an excerpt:

“Andrew W. Mellon Professor of Music Akin Euba will retire at the end of the 2011 spring semester, so on March 15 colleagues, students, alumni, and family gathered together to celebrate and share good wishes as he enters the next phase in his career. Akin Euba’s retirement celebration reflected all the elements of his storied career as a scholar, composer, and performer. During his 18 years with the Department of Music, he has fostered the field of creative musicology, led the Centre for Intercultural Musicology at Churchill College (Cambridge University) and mentored ethnomusicology students who have gone on to lead the field in their own rights.”

Akin Euba's intercultural activities have continued beyond his retirement from the University of Pittsburgh. Joyce Adewumi organized “Dialogue: Africa Meets North America in Harlem, October 30 – November 3, 2011, New York” with the authorization and participation of Prof. Euba.

2008 Article in National Post Chronicles Path of Mark Doss to Starring in Canadian Opera Company


Mark S. Doss (Tyler Anderson/National Post)

John Malveaux of www.MusicUNTOLD.com writes:

Please see story about Mark Doss, a Canadian-American living in Toronto
 
Thanks,
John Malveaux

National Post
On the Town with COC star Mark Doss
Melissa Leong
11/10/08 

It would be hard to miss Mark Doss. Not because he’s an opera star and a Grammy Award winner who graces stages around the world. But because he’s the guy marching through the streets playing a melodica or hurtling through traffic on a scooter.
“You could hear me shouting, ‘Yes! Whoo! Go! You can do it!’ ” the 54-year-old bass-baritone yells. “People are like, ‘What’s wrong with him? Is he having a seizure?’ No, I’m making it up this hill.”
Today, he’s surfing the pavement on his Trikke, a three-wheeled vehicle he first saw on a late-night infomercial 10 years ago. “This is my joy,” he says as he weaves up and down his East York street.
In fact, a lot of things bring him joy. When he packs for trips — in the last year, he has performed in Vienna, Bologna and Madrid, to name a few — he takes a jump rope, a weighted hula hoop and his scooter.
In Milan, he would ride his scooter to rehearsals, covering 10 kilometres in as little as 35 minutes. “Hey! Veloce!” The men in the street would exclaim. “Yes, fast!”
He leans the Trikke on a car and gets on his scooter. He pushes off and his leg extends like a ballet dancer doing an arabesque. “You get your longest stride with your leg out.”
“They’re not that easy to ride, those things,” the Post’s photographer mumbles to me as Doss whizzes by us, beads of sweat on his brow.
“Whoo, miles and miles,” Doss is saying.
Indeed, the Cleveland, Ohio, native has come miles and miles. He was first exposed to opera as a boy. A man on television was singing The Toreador Song, the famous aria in George Bizet’s Carmen, and he broke a glass with a high note.
“Wow, he just broke that glass with his voice. That’s so cool!” Doss exclaims. His enthusiasm startles his elderly neighbour, who looks over from an adjacent porch.
Doss would end up playing the part of Escamillo (the Carmen character who sings The Toreador Song) about 130 times. In the last 25 years, he has done thousands of performances, playing more than 60 roles. He is currently starring as Thoas in the Canadian Opera Company’s production of Iphigenia in Tauris.
But before the opera, there was the priesthood. His family lived next door to the church rectory and after high school, Doss entered the seminary program at Saint Joseph’s College in Rensselaer, Ind. He chose to leave in his second year to become a regular student, enrolling in music courses. In the summer of 1983, he did an apprenticeship with the Sante Fe Opera in New Mexico, a relationship that continues to this day. This past summer, he performed the role of the devil, Mephistopheles, in their production of Faust.


Soprano Marti Newland of MELODEON Performs 'Swing Along!' by Will Marion Cook, with Artis Wodehouse, Pianist


Artis Wodehouse of MELODEON:

Swing Along! by Will Marion Cook

Published on Apr 22, 2013
Soprano Marti Newland performs Swing Along! by Will Marion Cook 4/7/13 live in concert presented by MELODEON. She is accompanied by Artis Wodehouse, pianist. This video was filmed during the 3rd in a series of concerts presented by MELODEON at Church of the Epiphany, NYC during 2012-13. MELODEON performs American music from the 19th and early 20th century.


Swing Along! was written by Will Marion Cook (1869-1944), one of the most important figures in pre-jazz African-American music. Born in Washington D.C. of free, educated Afro-American parents, Cook's early musical promise was such that Frederick Douglass helped organize a fundraiser to send him to study in Europe. There he studied at the Berlin Hochschule für Musik with Joseph Joachim, the famous violinist and associate of Brahms. He later studied with Dvorak when that famous European composer visited the US. 

However, Cook of necessity turned to popular music as his classical career was not successful in the US. He became one of the most important early Afro-American composers of musicals and reviews featuring pre-jazz ragtime and related Afro-American vernacular styles. The popularity of his music was such that in 1912 G. Schirmer issued a collection of Three Negro Songs by Cook: Exhortation (from In Dahomey), Rain Song (from Bandanna Land), and Swing Along! (from the musical of the same name). As mentor and teacher, Cook influenced a generation of young African-American musicians, including jazz composer and performer Duke Ellington and singer/choir director Eva Jessye,

Dear Mr. Zick, Your important and meaningful work with AfriClassical's blog continues to amaze me. Thank you for featuring "Swing Along" and for for the notice about it!  On we go.  Warmly,  Marti Newland

David E. Robinson, III: Urban Strings Youth Orchestra of Columbus, Ohio Seeks New Director to begin in September 2013



Photos: Urban Strings Summer Camp 2012

David E. Robinson, III:

The Urban Strings Youth Orchestra of Columbus, OH is looking for a new director who would begin in September 2013.  This group of talented, young students was the creation of Mrs. Catherine Willis of F.A.C.E. - Friends of Art for Community Enrichment where she is founder.  She and her late husband, Edward Willis (longtime Columbus Public Schools educator and administrator) came to Atlanta for a wedding rehearsal dinner at Judge Glenda Hatchett's home where David E. Robinson III was performing background music on cello and violin.  Both of them struck up a conversation with him.  When Mr. Robinson told them that he teaches string orchestra in metropolitan Atlanta (Dekalb County Schools) and has a youth orchestra, Mrs. Willis told him that she was interested in getting an urban youth orchestra in Columbus started.  They kept in touch.  F.A.C.E. laid the foundation to start Urban Strings by recruiting talented young string players.
  
F.A.C.E. and Mrs. Willis invited Mr. Robinson to Columbus to do some school presentations, work with students (at that same school), and with the group of students that they put together who would eventually become Urban String Youth Orchestra of Columbus (OH).  Mr. Robinson provided a number of his arrangements - Negro spirituals, gospel, reggae, rock, R & B, hip-hop, etc.  Urban Strings has performed for several occasions in the metro area especially at the King Arts Complex downtown.  In 2010, Mr. Robinson brought his Still Waters Youth Sinfo-Nia of Metropolitan Atlanta to Columbus for a joint workshop and two performances.  This was just the beginning of a relationship in which they will be pairing up to perform in the 2013 National Association of Negro Musicians (NANM) Convention in Nashville, TN July 28-August 1 and for Sinfo-Nia's Fall Benefit Concert in Atlanta October 19, 2013.

Urban Strings has been growing.  Mr. Robinson conducted its first annual Summer Camp in 2012 and is scheduled to do the same the week of June 10-14, 2013.  If you know of students in Columbus or anywhere else who have relatives in Columbus they can reside with for that week, they are welcomed to attend by contacting Mrs. Willis (for information on registration, tuition, etc.).  The energy, excitement, and enrichment these students experience spill into the school-year where they have more rehearsals and performances.

Here is an article on F.A.C.E.


Here is a video of Urban Strings performing James Brown's, "We're Gonna Have a Funky Good Time" at last year's Camp.


For information on the job opening and/or the 2013 Summer Camp, please contact Mrs. Catherine Willis at (614) 888-9929 or send an e-mail at cat4face@yahoo.com.

Sincerely,
David E. Robinson, III
