Download or read book An Ives Celebration written by Brooklyn College. Institute for Studies in American Music and published by Urbana : University of Illinois Press. This book was released on 1977 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After years of neglect, composer Charles Ives (1874-1954) has been proclaimed as "the father of nearly everything American in American music." The lack of recognition that Ives suffered in his own lifetime - for example, he never heard most of his major pieces played - has been obliterated by all-Ives concerts, radio broadcast series, documentary films, books, and the establishment of Ives societies here and abroad. All these things attest to Ives's increasing stature since the fifties and give certain evidence that he has finally "arrived." Public acclaim for Ives's talents reached its zenith in the Charles Ives Centennial Festival-Conference, the first international congress ever dedicated to an American composer. This book is the record of the non-performance part of the festival-conference. It contains essays on Ives and American culture, chapters on conducting, performing, and editing Ives, comments from foreign scholars and composers, and a long section on Ives and present day musical thought. The papers and panels examine minute details of Ives's music and life in an attempt to explain the current "Ives phenomenon." The contributors are among the most important names in their respective fields.

Download or read book Winning the West with Words written by James Joseph Buss and published by University of Oklahoma Press. This book was released on 2013-07-29 with total page 404 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Indian Removal was a process both physical and symbolic, accomplished not only at gunpoint but also through language. In the Midwest, white settlers came to speak and write of Indians in the past tense, even though they were still present. Winning the West with Words explores the ways nineteenth-century Anglo-Americans used language, rhetoric, and narrative to claim cultural ownership of the region that comprises present-day Ohio, Indiana, and Illinois. Historian James Joseph Buss borrows from literary studies, geography, and anthropology to examine images of stalwart pioneers and vanished Indians used by American settlers in portraying an empty landscape in which they established farms, towns, and “civilized” governments. He demonstrates how this now-familiar narrative came to replace a more complicated history of cooperation, adaptation, and violence between peoples of different cultures. Buss scrutinizes a wide range of sources—travel journals, captivity narratives, treaty council ceremonies, settler petitions, artistic representations, newspaper editorials, late-nineteenth-century county histories, and public celebrations such as regional fairs and centennial pageants and parades—to show how white Americans used language, metaphor, and imagery to accomplish the symbolic removal of Native peoples from the region south of the Great Lakes. Ultimately, he concludes that the popular image of the white yeoman pioneer was employed to support powerful narratives about westward expansion, American democracy, and unlimited national progress. Buss probes beneath this narrative of conquest to show the ways Indians, far from being passive, participated in shaping historical memory—and often used Anglo-Americans’ own words to subvert removal attempts. By grounding his study in place rather than focusing on a single group of people, Buss goes beyond the conventional uses of history, giving readers a new understanding not just of the history of the Midwest but of the power of creation narratives.

Book excerpt: In a compelling inquiry into public events ranging from the building of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial through ethnic community fairs to pioneer celebrations, John Bodnar explores the stories, ideas, and symbols behind American commemorations over the last century. Such forms of historical consciousness, he argues, do not necessarily preserve the past but rather address serious political matters in the present.
