Download or read book Lowell Mason the Father of Singing Among the Children written by Arthur Lowndes Rich and published by Chapel Hill : The University of North Carolina Press. This book was released on 1946 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "A capacity for music is much more common than is generally supposed"; "some degree of cultivation is necessary to enable us to enter into the spirit of singing"; "children must be taught music as they are taught to read"; "the practice of music might be pursued in such a manner as to afford relief from other studies and be a pleasant and agreeable employment". These were radical ideas in 1826, the year Lowell Mason delivered his Address on Church Music, for in those days, as Mason observed twenty-five years later, "children did not generally sing, nor was it supposed to be possible to teach them." Settling in Boston in 1827, Mason organized the first children's singing school -- a voluntary class which at first consisted of no more than six or eight, but which increased eventually to five or six hundred. In 1833, inspired by the public performances of these singing children, a group of Bostonians organized the Boston Academy of Music, a society which sustained Mason's work among the children until music was introduced into the schools of the city. In this book, based upon an exhaustive study of primary sources, Dr. Rich gives a full account of Mason's career as a church musician, chorus master, and pioneer in training teachers of public school music; of his struggles for self-education and his failures and successes as a practicing musician, teacher, and publisher. It stresses the educational aspects of his career, his methods, his theories on music teaching for school children, and his interrelationships with such educators as Rousseau, Pestalozzi, Barnard, and Horace Mann. A valuable feature of this study is the bibliography, which contains a complete catalog of Mason's writings and publications with a list of their numerous editions and the names of collections and libraries where copies are available. - Jacket flap.

Download or read book The Blues Come to Texas written by and published by Texas A&M University Press. This book was released on 2019-02-28 with total page 1149 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From October 1959 until the mid-1970s, Paul Oliver and Mack McCormick collaborated on what they hoped to be a definitive history and analysis of the blues in Texas. Both were prominent scholars and researchers—Oliver had already established an impressive record of publications, and McCormick was building a sprawling collection of primary materials that included field recordings and interviews with blues musicians from all over Texas and the greater South. Despite being eagerly awaited by blues fans, folklorists, historians, and ethnomusicologists who knew about the Oliver-McCormick collaboration, the intended manuscript was never completed. In 1996, Alan Govenar, a respected writer, folklorist, photographer, and filmmaker, began a conversation with Oliver about the unfinished book on Texas blues. Subsequently, Oliver invited Govenar to assist him, and when Oliver became ill, Govenar enlisted folklorist and ethnomusicologist Kip Lornell to help him contextualize and document the existing manuscript for publication. The Blues Come to Texas: Paul Oliver and Mack McCormick’s Unfinished Book presents an unparalleled view into the minds and methods of two pioneering blues scholars.
