Download or read book Strange Fruit written by David Margolick and published by . This book was released on 2001 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An exploration of the story of a song that foretold a movement, and the lady who dared to sing it. The powerful, evocative lyrics of Strange Fruit - written by a Jewish communist schoolteacher - portray the lynching of a black man in the South. In 1939, its performance sparked controversy (and sometimes violence) wherever Billie Holiday went. Not until 16 years later did Rosa Parks refuse to yield her seat on a Montgomery, Alabama bus. Yet Strange Fruit lived on, and in this work David Margolick chronicles its effect on those who experienced it first-hand: musicians, artists, journalists, intellectuals, students, budding activists, and even the waitresses and bartenders who worked the clubs.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the Introduction: MODERN English lacks an exact equivalent for the French word 'ensemble', and this, though useful, is yet so far from beautiful as an adaptation that the revival of the good old word 'consort' seems very desirable. Besides the fact that its use as a musical term is considered obsolete by the dictionary - makers, the main objection to its employment is its similarity to 'concert', with which it has in truth very little in common. No doubt at one time 'a consort of music' meant very much what a 'concert' means now; but the term carried with it no suggestion of public or formal performance. As to 'concert', which comes to us from the Italian concerto (to the confusion of translators the same word, or 'Konzert', is used in German for concerto and concert), it is suggested in the New English Dictionary that the verb concertare may at first have conveyed the idea of emulation such as too often disfigures the modern concert; 'consort', on the other hand, can only mean the accord of several musical factors in harmonious association, in fact, exactly what the French call ensemble. Another musical term now unused, but, like 'consort', enshrined in one of Milton's noblest poems, conveys nearly the same idea, and 'concent' too is often confused with the similarly pronounced 'consent'. As a matter of fact, for a perfect performance in public, it may be said that all four are required; there must be consent, or the fellow-feeling for each other among the executants; concent, or the power of making voices or instruments blend together; consort, or such perfection of association as may be attainable; and concert, including perhaps some friendly rivalry as well as the apparatus of a public performance. In spite of the etymological propriety of the old word which appears in the title, I think it best to use, throughout the book, the recognized term ensemble, since so very many non-executive musicians, and not a few performers, are strangely ignorant of what is meant by the spirit of concerted music. Ensemble may perhaps be defined as that kind of co-operation in music in which each performer bears some share of responsibility for the general effect, as well as for the correct execution of the notes set before him. In this aspect of associated music, it will be seen that the responsibility for a good performance of choral or orchestral music rests, not with the individuals, but with the conductor of the whole, so that the chapters devoted to these two kinds of music are necessarily a little off the main trend of our inquiry; but even here there is such a thing as ensemble, though the duty of obtaining it rests with one man, not with many. While, a good ensemble is not difficult to recognize when it is present, its absence is very seldom assigned as a reason for the hearers' lack of pleasure, or for their feeling that all has not gone well, though each of the performers may be an accepted master in his own department. This important branch of musical art is naturally studied as carefully as may be at our great music-schools, but for those who have not the advantage of such surroundings, or of constant intercourse with executants more highly equipped than themselves, it seems strange that no written words should exist to help them in the study of what all critics are fond of insisting upon as an essential part of a good performance. It is because of this lack of practical guidance that I have ventured to draw attention to some of the main principles of ensemble in various kinds of music; for it often happens that even accomplished professional artists seem completely oblivious of the cause that makes their concerted efforts vain.
