Much of the literature on desegregation efforts are focused on general education and little research has been done on the effects it had on school orchestra programs. Orchestra programs in Texas schools have had a historically strong presence, but opportunities for Black string players had been rare and limited by segregation. It wasn’t until 1963 that Black students could participate in Texas All-State ensembles and 1968 before school ensemble competitions were integrated. Newspaper articles, archives, and voices of individuals that lived through these experiences were examined to gain a better understanding of what occurred during the time of desegregation in Texas schools. The predominantly Black orchestra program at Dunbar High School in Lubbock thrived despite segregation; however, it would later struggle to recover after integration plans were enacted. In an effort to satisfy desegregation laws, Black students and teachers were bussed to white schools dissolving the Black nucleus that contributed to their previous success. A historical examination of Texas string orchestra programs, competitions, and lived experiences of Black stakeholders revealed issues surrounding representation and the importance of strong role models in music.","PeriodicalId":40170,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Historical Research in Music Education","volume":"43 1","pages":"185 - 204"},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2022-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49668280","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A principal choral singing method in 19th century Britain, Tonic Sol-fa, was introduced by missionaries and others to the Indian subcontinent where it was used as both a pedagogical method and a music notation system. Building on the inherent musicality of the Mizo people in Assam, a fine choral singing tradition developed. Hymnbooks were published with Mizo words and Tonic Sol-fa notation. Although aspects of Tonic Sol-fa are utilized in some contemporary school music teaching methods, there is now little or no use made of the original Tonic Sol-fa method for community choral singing in Britain. Nevertheless, it is still used in some former British colonies, particularly for congregational hymn singing in Sub-Saharan Africa and the Asia-Pacific. Tonic Sol-fa has been, and remains, the mainstay of choral music making in Mizoram and neighboring areas. As such, it is a worthy inheritance from the missionary presence in India during the 19th century.","PeriodicalId":40170,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Historical Research in Music Education","volume":"44 1","pages":"153 - 171"},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2022-02-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48006843","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Several of the first Sunday school tunebooks included theoretical introductions with elementary instruction in music reading much like the early school songbooks that followed. Three early tunebooks will be considered, E. Osborn’s The Sunday School Music Book (1826), Ezra Barrett’s Sabbath School Psalmody (1828), and Elam Ives, Jr’s American Sunday-School Psalmody (1832). In each case, the various “experiments” introduced in the tunebooks will be discussed.

A Ugandan by nationality, Adolu-Otojoka has served in different professional capacities as music educator, opera singer, folk musician, dancer, composer, and education/culture administrator, at national and regional levels. Educated in Uganda and in the United States, Adolu-Otojoka excelled as a bass-baritone and featured in several professional opera performances alongside celebrated European and American actors and actresses such as Ray Charman, Lance Hardy, Jane Wise, Mike Laflin, and Henry Pearson in the 1970s and 1980s. His most memorable production was Jesus Christ Superstar in which he performed as Caiaphas, in Nairobi, Kenya. His long and distinguished music teaching career spans over half a century starting in the early 1950s through 2006, during which he taught vocal performance, instruments, music theory, and dance and drama courses in the East African region. Although his career is widely discussed, very little or no documentation of his celebrated life is available for reference. Therefore, this oral history was intended to chronicle historical patterns of music education in Uganda through his testimonies as one of the pioneers of music education in colonial and post-independence East Africa. Adolu-Otojoka’s experiences will not only provide valuable inspiration for the young music education discipline in Uganda, but also insights regarding multicultural music education perspectives in general.","PeriodicalId":40170,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Historical Research in Music Education","volume":"44 1","pages":"248 - 274"},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2022-01-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48321025","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

One of Dalos’s unique contributions to the scholarship is to bring to light the connection of the work to Hungarian poet Endre Ady’s poem “The Peacock.” Though Kodály himself didn’t reference the poem in the composition, he did quote Ady in his writings and called him a “pathbreaking symbolist poet.” The poem and the composition use the bird as an analogy that juxtaposes beauty and flightlessness. Dalos, along with other musicologists, sees that the work may be an autobiographical work, summarizing his compositions after Psalmus Hungaricus, perhaps wondering if his works will take off and “fly.” She asks whether Kodály may be asking the same about Hungary itself and whether its high ideals will be attainable. The author shows Kodály’s place in the neoclassical tradition and provides a resource for international scholarship, similar to what is already in place for Kodály’s contemporaries (e.g., Bartók). She argues that more than just an outstanding anomaly of genius, Kodály fits into the context of composers his era. This book will be of particular interest to musicologists and those interested in aspects of Kodály’s life that are not yet as celebrated internationally, but which remained a major impetus for his commitment to a better music education in Hungary.","PeriodicalId":40170,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Historical Research in Music Education","volume":"43 1","pages":"99 - 103"},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2021-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48603905","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Paney","doi":"10.1177/15366006211039118","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1177/15366006211039118","url":null,"abstract":"Zoltán Kodály is best known internationally for his work in developing a music pedagogy for children. His educational interests grew out of his desire for a truly Hungarian musical culture and a culturally literate Hungarian public. He recognized the importance of developing skills in the youngest children and the significance this would have for the arts culture of his nation. His successful educational work and the work of several of his collaborators were recognized at the International Society for Music Education (ISME) conference in Budapest in 1964. Anna Dalos’s book instead focuses on Kodály’s dedication to composition and philosophy—Kodály saw himself primarily as a composer. The author, a musicologist and Head of the archives for twentiethand twenty-first century Hungarian Music at the Institute for Musicology of the Research Centre for the Humanities in Budapest, includes some biographical information, but centers the text around Kodály’s thought and music, with particular attention to linking his writings and compositions. Dalos draws on previous scholarship in musicology and uses primary sources in Kodály’s papers at the Kodály Archives and at the library of the Liszt Academy in Budapest. The book interprets and contextualizes Kodály’s music using his writings, biographical details, and parallel world events. The book is divided into fourteen chapters, alternating between biographical information, the development of his thought as a philosopher, his use of musical forms, and investigations of some of his best-known works. Chapters address his youth, his international travels, and the influence of major world events on his work, particularly in the tumultuous first half of the twentieth century. Other chapters investigate his interpretation of folk songs as a source for composition, his interest in Debussy and modernity, his representation of women in his songs, and his views on church music. Several chapters look at his compositional style, especially his use of the folk song and counterpoint. Some chapters focus on a single work: String Quartet No. 1, String Quartet No. 2, Peacock Variations, and his Concerto. In the chapter on Peacock Variations, for Book Reviews","PeriodicalId":40170,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Historical Research in Music Education","volume":"43 1","pages":"98 - 99"},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2021-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48883427","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Professor Cyril Ehrlich (1925–2004) was primarily an economic historian of Africa. In the course of the 1960s, he switched his research to music. He realized that while the social history of music had begun to receive attention, its economic history had been virtually ignored. His first book in this field was The Piano: A History (1976) in which he focused upon industrial production and the growth of a market.2 Ehrlich’s influence has been considerable, as evident in a series of essays published in his honor in 2000, Music and British Culture 1785–1914 (Christina Bashford and Leanne Langley, eds.).3 As far as music education history is concerned, David Wright’s notable social and cultural history The Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music (2013)4 is clearly influenced by Ehrlich’s work. In the Introduction, Rosemary Golding outlines the main themes under consideration. Her dilemma lies in the impossibility of describing a single ‘music profession’ because of music’s protean nature. She quotes the sociologist Julia Evetts’s writing about professions: “Most researchers have accepted definitional uncertainty and moved on” (p. 2). In this volume, the contributors positively engage with such incertitude. Rebecca Gribble’s opening chapter considers the finances, estates, and social status of musicians in the late eighteenth century. She challenges the commonly held view that musicians occupied a low social status as artisans. In fact, they could gain patronage and improve their own social status through teaching socially superior young women to play an instrument or sing. Other artisans lacked this contact. Gribble concludes that while allocating ‘artisan’ status can be","PeriodicalId":40170,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Historical Research in Music Education","volume":"50 5","pages":"103-105"},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2021-09-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138520920","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
