Clown History
Victor Borge
by: Bruce Johnson
Victor Borge passed away December 23. If he was a clown or not depends upon whether you use an exclusive or inclusive style definition of clowning. It is a matter of personal opinion. I personally think he was a masterful clown who used a naturalistic appearance. In any case, clowns could learn a lot by studying his work, which fortunately is well documented by audio and video recordings. I had the pleasure of seeing to of his live performances. At the age of 91, he was still performing. The only adjustment he had to make for age was eliminating the fall off his piano bench. He was the subject of the cover story of The Clown In Times Volume Six Issue Three. Here is some information excerpted from that article. (The original article is much too long to reproduce here.) Victor Borge (Jan. 3, 1909 - Dec. 23, 2000) Victor Borge said, "to people who take music seriously, I'm a musician. To people who don't take music seriously, I'm a comedian. To people who don't take anything seriously, I'm a clown." Whether or not you consider Victor Borge a clown, clowns can learn from him and be inspired by him. For example, one of his routines is to start playing a piece, which doesn't come out right. He takes a closer look at the sheet music, turns it over, resumes playing, and now it sounds right. Arthur Pedlar uses a similar bit in his routine. One of Victor's sons tours with him playing an inept page-turner. Albert Alter plays a similar role in the BozoArts Duo. Victor combines physical comedy, verbal humor, and amazing musical ability.

WELCOME About Us PERFORMANCES MULTIMEDIA HISTORICAL BACKGROUND In 1939, Father Joseph Emrich founded the Holy Name Band and Choral Club, which later became: The Holy Name Choral Club (1968), The Choral Club of Louisville (1972),. and finally, The Louisville Chorus (1987). Joseph Herde succeeded Father Emrich and still conducts the Holy Name Band. Richard Spalding, Conductor Emeritus, lovingly devoted 20 years to the ensemble and made its 1985 European Sister Cities Concert Tour possible. Since 1991, Music Director Daniel Spurlock has ushered this high-caliber ensemble and its audiences into inspirational, poignant, and emotional music experiences. Therese Davis, Executive Director and Pianist, has collaborated with the music directors since 1969, to ensure the successful growth and development of The Chorus. A member of Chorus America, this semi-professional chorus maintains approximately fifty auditioned singers and performs choral masterworks, pops, folk songs, musicals and jazz. Through traditional, holiday, family, and fun series; joint ventures with other arts agencies; dinner concerts; commercial CDs; and commissioned performances, listeners experience music with life, sparkle and personality. Additionally, the Opus 4 educational/ outreach program offers vocal arts reviews that encompass interactive audience participation.

Who's Who in Musicals: A to Ba
by John Kenrick Abbott , George (Francis) Director, librettist, producer b. Jan. 25, 1887 (Forrestville, NY) - d. Jan. 31. 1995 (Miami Beach, FL)
During his long career, practically everyone referred to him as "Mr. Abbott" – a sign of respect that this talented man never discouraged. Originally an actor, he rose to fame as a playwright, eventually becoming a stage director and musical comedy librettist. In the course of over 130 Broadway productions, Abbott worked with most of the prominent stage talents of his time. His musical comedy career began when he directed Richard Rodgers Lorenz Hart 's Jumbo (1935). He worked with the same team on a series of hit shows, staging and co-authoring the librettos for On Your Toes The Boys From Syracuse (1938) and Pal Joey (1940). Abbott gave musical comedy a faster pace and a refreshing dose of modern sophistication.

90. Long Biography Of Mikel Kuehn
At the Eastman School of Music (ma 1993, Ph.D 1995), he studied composition with SamuelAdler, Robert Morris music group Ensemble 21, Canadian pianist Yoko Hirota
http://mustec.bgsu.edu/cgi-bin/kpc1.cgi/lbio.html
Extended Biography
Composer Mikel Kuehn was born in Eau Claire, Wisconsin on January 14th, 1967, and raised in Denton, Texas; Rochester, New York; and Seal Beach, California. From 1981 to 1985, Kuehn studied jazz improvisation with John Beasley, Rule Beasley, and Michael Carney and performed on vibraphone in several Los Angeles jazz ensembles before attending the University of North Texas (BM 1989) where he studied percussion with Robert Shietroma and composition with Cindy McTee and Phil Winsor. He was first introduced to computer music in 1986 by Larry Austin at the Center for Experimental Music and Intermedia (CEMI). At the Eastman School of Music (MA 1993, Ph.D. 1995), he studied composition with Samuel Adler, Robert Morris, and Joseph Schwantner, and was a staff member of the Eastman Computer Music Center. Currently on the faculty of Bowling Green State University (OH), Kuehn is the Coordinator of the Composition Area and Director of the New Music Ensemble. As a conductor, Kuehn has performed works such as Cage's 3rd Construction, Davies' Eight Songs for a Mad King, Lauba's Mutation Colour, Morris' Tigers and Lilies, Schoenberg's Pierrot Lunaire, Stockhausen's Kreuzspeil, Varese's Octandre, and the world premiere of Robert Lemay's La Redemption. In November of 2000, he mounted a reconstruction of Stockhausen's Mikrophonie I using the MAX/MSP real-time processing application. Since 2000, Kuehn has been developing a computer music application called nGen. Written in the C programming language and available on multiple platforms, nGen, is a free application for creating Csound scores and standard MIDI files. It is similar in nature to Aleck Brinkman's Score11 and Andre Bartetzki's Cmask using an interpretive language syntax to create dynamic data. nGen will be publicly released in the fall of 2001 and is included on the second edition of The Csound Book CD-ROMS (MIT Press 2000).

Beethoven wrote the violin concerto for a friend, Franz Clement. The first performance was on 23rd December 1806 and was received frostily, partly because Franz had to sight-read the solo part. It arrived just moments before the performance. Rondo in B Flat major Wo06 We will never know exactly how much of this work is Beethoven and how much is Czerny, but it remains a work of charming and, in places, child-like individuality. Reassuringly it displays the elegant themes, transitions and modulations one would expect from the master composer.

Personal Finance Travel cityscan transportation ... entertainment philadelphia : entertainment shopping hours favorite restaurants nightlife baseball ... philadelphia calendar sightseeing Independence National Historical Park is probably the most popular reason to visit Philadelphia. The park includes not only the Liberty Bell, Independence Hall and Declaration House, but also Franklin Court, which offers a peek into the life of Ben Franklin with its displays and exhibits. A city of firsts (first capital of the new nation, first hospital, first zoo, even the first insurance company), Philadelphia and its suburbs are infused with history: historic homes, churches, museums, graveyards and gardens. It will come as no surprise that Philadelphia, with its pride in things historic, has a number of beautifully restored neighborhoods, including Rittenhouse Square, Washington Square, Society Hill and Queen Village. Another area that will be of great interest is Penn's Landing, home to a seaport museum and several restored ships that can be toured. But history is only one reason to visit. This city has an almost unbelievable wealth of cultural attractions, including a wonderful assortment of museums, with specialties ranging from art to insects to medical artifacts. It also has the biggest municipal park in the country.
