Musical Culture in New York in the 1960s
This treatise is an exploration of the distinctiveness of the American Symphony Orchestra. The American Symphony Orchestra was a unique organization that combined contemporary music and young musicians of diverse backgrounds with a famous conductor. Although Leopold Stokowski used a rather archaic method of auditioning, his inclusion of women and minorities in the orchestra was progressive and his championing of young musicians was legendary. The orchestra resided in New York, a city that already had a rich, albeit very different, symphonic tradition in 1962 when the American Symphony was founded. There were no women and only one African-American musician in the New York Philharmonic at that...
For the End of Time
The clarinetist Rebecca Rischin has written a captivating book.... Her research dispels several long-cherished myths about the 1941 premiere.... Rischin lovingly brings to life the other musicians-- tienne Pasquier, cellist; Henri Akoka, clarinetist; and Jean Le Boulaire, violinist--who played with Messiaen, the pianist at the premiere."--Alex Ross, The New Yorker "This book offers a wealth of new information about the circumstances under which the Quartet was created.

A Performance Analysis of Stylistic Features of Scott McAllister's Selected Works for Solo Clarinet
The purpose of this document is to provide a resource for clarinetists regarding three works for solo clarinet by Scott McAllister: Four Preludes on Playthings of the Wind, Black Dog: Rhapsody for Clarinet (and Piano), and BlingBling. The composer was inspired by popular music, a poet (Carl Sandburg), and the musicians who commissioned the works (Frank Kowalsky and Richard Spece). For the first time, the unique and idiomatic aspects of McAllister's works and his thoughts about gestures and melodies included in his music are discussed. Considerations for performing these works are provided by the composer and the musicians who have shaped interpretations of this music, including Frank Kowalsky and Richard Spece to whom Black Dog and BlingBling were dedicated, respectively, and Robert Spring, who first recorded Black Dog. Performers may benefit from the author's explanations of stylistic features and musical challenges associated with these selected works.
Stanley Hasty: His Life and Teaching

Spaghetti Westerns--the Good, the Bad and the Violent
Spaghetti Westerns--mostly produced in Italy or by Italians but made throughout Europe--were bleaker, rougher, grittier imitations of Hollywood Westerns, focusing on heroes only slightly less evil than the villains. After a main filmography covering 558 Spaghetti Westerns, another section provides filmographies of personnel--actors and actresses, directors, musical composers, scriptwriters, cinematographers. Appendices provide lists of the popular Django films and the Sartana films, a listing of U.S.-made Spaghetti Western lookalikes, top ten and twenty lists and a list of the genre's worst.
